Chapter 177 Accident
The old Taoist priest left, but Lin Shougui didn't believe what he said and just kept calling Fat Ya.
It wasn't until she was five years old that she changed her tune.
Behind Dashi Village is a mountain. Many wild medicinal materials grow on the mountain. Every year, some traveling herbalists come to the village to collect medicinal materials.
This is also the favorite time for the children in the village.
The price charged by the wandering doctor is not high, and most families in the village have to take care of the food in the fields. Except for those whose families have a large population and can find time to go to the mountains to collect medicine, there are only a group of children in the village.
Whenever the visiting doctor comes to the village, the children all put on a series of old clothes and go to the mountains to gather herbs.
What they picked back were mostly plantain, horseshoe grass, and goldenrod.
After collecting the medicine and taking it to the wandering doctor to count the money, usually a six or seven-year-old child can earn forty or fifty cash as pocket money in half a month.
The children were able to earn some pocket money to buy sweets, and the adults in the village followed them.
In the blink of an eye, it was August. Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng spent the whole day running around with their sister, squatting at the entrance of the village with a group of children, waiting for the wandering doctor to come to the village.
"Brother, what are we waiting for here?" Fat Ya squatted under the tree and looked around at the dolls, big and small, and then moved closer to her brother.
"Wait for that wandering doctor to come! Last year, my eldest brother earned forty coins!"
Lin Yicheng patted his small chest proudly.
He earned the most in the village last year!
"Brother is so awesome!" The little girl didn't know how much forty coins were, so she just clapped her hands blindly in praise.
"Me, me, me, Fatty, my second brother is also great. I made twenty-nine cents last year!"
Lin Ercheng looked at his sister's admiring eyes and moved closer.
"Second brother is also awesome!"
"Fat girl, my second brother will pick more this year, and I will buy you a beautiful headband then!"
Lin Ercheng touched the little girl's head and patted his own chest.
"good!"
There are more than twenty children in the village, big and small, squatting at the entrance of the village every day. After three days, the little girl becomes black.
Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng were also turned into small briquettes.
"You two little bastards, look what you've done to your sister."
Lin Shougui felt distressed when he looked at his little girl who had been blackmailed.
I haven't had a tan all summer, and it's already August now. Look at how tanned my daughter is now.
"We, we are waiting for the wandering doctor to come and collect herbs to make money to buy fat girl a headband!"
Lin Yicheng curled his lips, what's wrong with being tanned? Even though his sister was tanned, she was also the second most beautiful girl in the village!
When the time comes when I earn money, I will buy a hair tie for Chen Erya and a hair tie for Fat Ya. Then they will be the first and second most beautiful in the village!
Lin Ercheng also secretly looked at his girl and found that she was indeed tanned a lot, so he didn't say anything.
When the time comes, he earns enough money to buy sweets for Fat Ya. After eating the sweets, he turns white!
Maybe they thought that Fat Ya's tanning had something to do with them. When eating in the evening, the two brothers gave half of the rice in their bowls to Fat Ya. After finally waiting for her to finish eating, the two brothers secretly shared some food with Fat Ya before going to bed. Gave her two wild fruits.
Until night, Fatty suddenly started to cry. At first she was sobbing quietly, but then she started to cry loudly and couldn't stop. In the end, she even vomited all over the floor while crying.
Seeing the filth on the ground and the dark and white face of his daughter, Lin Shougui felt distressed and angry.
I took my daughter to see the village doctor and when I got home, I caught my two sons and beat them up.
The two brothers were beaten until they screamed, but when their father said that their sister was sick because they fed them too much, they just continued to scream, and no one dared to run away.
As a result, Doctor Youfang, who they had been waiting for for several days, drove his donkey cart to Lihua Village the next day. This time he also specified that he wanted wild hawthorns from the back mountain, and he paid a penny for two catties.
Compared with the herbs collected before, the price this time is much higher.
There are many wild hawthorn trees in the back mountain. All the children in the village have changed their clothes and are going to the back mountain with their backpacks on their backs.
Before going up the mountain, some boy dolls who played well with Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng came to look for them at home, but they saw the two brothers lying on the bed and not daring to move.
"Then let's go!"
When Zhuzi saw the two brothers like this, he guessed that they had been beaten, so he led the others and waved their hands to prepare to go back to the mountain.
As a result, when we arrived at the end of the village, we saw Fatty blocking everyone from leaving.
"Fat girl, what are you doing? You are too young to follow us up the mountain. Let your two brothers take you when you are older."
Zhuzi looked at the tanned little girl in front of him and scratched his head, thinking that she just wanted to follow her to play in the mountains.
"You can't go to the mountain!" The little girl shook her head and stubbornly opened her arms to block the way.
"Fat girl, brother Zhuzi picked the hawthorns and sold them to you to buy candies! A hair tie will do too!"
Zhuzi had the best relationship with the three Lin brothers and sisters. Now he was afraid that Fatty would make other children in the village unhappy, so he hurriedly coaxed her.
"No, no, it's dangerous on the mountain! I dreamed that a stone fell from the mountain!"
The other dolls originally thought that they could go up the mountain earlier to pick more trips, but now they were a little unhappy when Fatty blocked their way.
Several older dolls tried to push Fat Ya, but the pillar quickly blocked them.
"Fat girl, you go home first and don't make any trouble!"
"Big rocks falling from the mountain! Danger!"
The little girl looked at the people walking past her, her face flushed with anxiety, and she almost cried.
"What a dream! Are you crazy?"
One boy said angrily that he originally wanted to pick more hawthorns so that he could sell the money to buy a slingshot!
As a result, my time was wasted by this little girl!
In the end, Zhuzi held Fat Ya all the way and sent her back, and then hurriedly headed towards the back mountain.
Seeing her daughter crying so pitifully, Mother Lin thought she was being bullied by other children in the village. Thinking that her two sons' buttocks were so swollen from being spanked that they wouldn't be able to leave the house for a few days, she simply sent Fat Ya away. He was also detained at home.
It was not until the afternoon of the next day that the adults in the village became a little worried when they discovered that their children had not returned home all morning.
As a result, Zhuzi was seen coming down the back mountain in disgrace.
"Something happened, something happened! The hillside collapsed! Goudan and the others were all injured!"
After hearing what Zhu Zhu said, everyone who had children at home and went to the mountain became anxious. They threw away what they were doing and went into the back mountain one after another.
However, Zhuzi was carefully checked by his mother and found that the son of the family was indeed fine. Then he asked: "Zhuzi, is this, what is going on?"
"Yesterday we finished picking all the hawthorn trees outside the mountain. Today, we went to the slope to pick them. As a result, the slope suddenly collapsed. I was standing on the edge and it was fine. They, they all fell down! "
The adults around were dumbfounded after hearing this.
They all know where there are hawthorn trees on the back mountain, so the villagers feel free to let the children pick them. But the hillside has been fine for so many years, so why did it suddenly collapse today?
