Chu Yue dragged the pheasant and ran away until the snake was no longer visible before she stopped and gasped for air.
"Yueyue, I don't want to go into the mountains with you anymore. You are so brave." Lu Yufang looked scared. Fortunately, Chu Yue reacted quickly just now, otherwise it would be terrible if she was really bitten by a snake.
Chu Yue smiled sheepishly.
"I didn't expect there to be a snake there." But if it hadn't been for the snake, she probably wouldn't have been able to find the pheasant in her hand. "It's just a pity that there must be at least ten pheasant eggs in the nest."
Lu Yufang rolled her eyes, "Since when are you still thinking about those wild eggs? Which is more important, the eggs or your life?"
"Of course, life is important. Let's go home quickly."
Chu Yue smiled and took Lu Yufang's arm, and the two of them walked down the mountain together.
…
Near noon, two brothers, Yun Dabao and Yun Chengcai, finally arrived at Banpo Village after traveling for more than two hours.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw houses being built on higher ground not far away. The brothers glanced at that place from a distance several times as if watching the excitement.
Yun Chengcai said with envy on his face, "Brother, I really didn't expect that a wealthy family in Banpo Village actually built a house with blue bricks and tiles. With so many bricks and tiles, I'm afraid he can build a big house." courtyard."
Yun Dabao hummed, "Let's go to my little sister's house quickly. Before it's dinner time, maybe we can be of some help."
"okay."
Yun Chengcai responded and quickened his pace.
At the old house, Yun Cuihe was washing rice outside when she saw two familiar figures passing by not far from the front. She quickly stood up and shouted: "Big brother and second brother?"
The Yun brothers heard the sound and looked sideways.
"Ah! Is my little sister here? Why isn't she in her own house? It turns out that the old house is uninhabitable?"
Yun Cuihe wiped her hands on her waist, stepped forward and opened the courtyard door, "The old house can still be inhabited, but it is close to my new house, so I cook here during the day, and I still have to go back to sleep at night. "
The two brothers nodded, "Where is the new house? Let's go and help first."
However, Yun Cuihe pulled the two of them into the yard, "Big brother and second brother have been traveling all morning. Don't be in a hurry. Let's sit down and take a break to drink water. After dinner, we can start building a new house in the afternoon."
As she spoke, she poured water into the room.
"Big brother and second brother, can we buy food at home?"
Yun Dabao nodded hurriedly, "I bought it. As you said in the house yesterday, today we drove the ox cart to Canghe Town. My second son and I took the ferry here. Dad and A Guang drove the ox cart to buy. The food is gone.”
"Just buy it." As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Cuihe walked out of the kitchen carrying two bowls of water.
…
When Chu Yue came down from the mountain and passed by the new house, the workers happened to finish their work and go to have dinner.
Lu Xinghe looked at the pheasant in Chu Yue's hand with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Hey! Xinghe's wife actually caught a pheasant?" Lu Shoucheng also looked surprised.
When Lu Yufang saw her father, she couldn't keep her mouth shut for a moment and said hurriedly, "Dad, you don't know that it was so dangerous just now. When Yueyue was catching pheasants, she was almost bitten by a snake."
"Hiss!" Lu Shoucheng raised his eyebrows, "Why is this girl so brave? Are you okay?"
Chu Yue looked at Lu Xinghe's already darkened face and smiled sheepishly, "I'm fine, fourth uncle."
Lu Xinghe silently took the pheasant from Chu Yue's hand, pulled her and headed home.
Lu Xingping and Lu Xingan didn't dare to speak. They knew that their eldest brother was angry when he looked like this.
The other people who didn't know Lu Xinghe hurriedly said, "Oh, I can't tell that Xinghe still loves his wife so much."
Lu Yufang looked at the two people's clasped hands and felt envious.
It would be enough if her future man was half as good as Brother Xinghe.
After returning to the old house and calling uncle and uncle, Lu Xinghe found a strap and tied the wings and feet of the pheasant and put it under the basket in the kitchen.
Yun Cuihe looked at his silent expression and asked in a low voice, "Yueyue, what happened to Xinghe?"
Chu Yue shook her head.
"Maybe you're angry?"
Yun Cuihe put down the poker in his hand in confusion, "Why are you angry?"
Lu Xing'an put down the water glass in his hand, raised his sleeve and wiped the water stains on his mouth, "I heard from Sister Yufang that my sister-in-law was almost bitten by a snake when she was catching pheasants."
"Ah!" Yun Cuihe was startled and quickly looked Chu Yue up and down, "Is he okay?"
Chu Yue shook her head, "Mom, I'm fine. I didn't know at the time that there was poison watching next to the pheasant. If I knew, I would definitely turn around and leave."
Yun Cuihe breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as everything is alright, don't go to the mountains again. Although you are lucky, my mother will be frightened, but don't let anything happen to you then."
Chu Yue responded obediently: "I understand, mother."
Yun Cuihe glanced in the direction of Lu Xinghe again, "Although this kid Xinghe doesn't talk much, he is very affectionate. Maybe he was also frightened by you. If you say a few nice words later, he might be relieved. .”
"Okay, mother."
Chu Yue glanced at Lu Xinghe, who was sitting in the corner of the yard, and then took out bowls of thick brown rice porridge boiled in the pot. After adding some salted vegetables to one of the bowls, she took it to Lu Xinghe. The direction of the galaxy has gone.
"Ms. sir, it's time to eat."
Lu Xinghe didn't say anything, he just reached out to take the porridge she handed and started eating.
Chu Yue bit her lip and ran to the kitchen to bring her own porridge. She sat next to him and ate, glancing in his direction from time to time.
As if he was uncomfortable being looked at by her, Lu Xinghe asked in a low voice, "Why are you always looking at me?"
The little girl's smiling eyes were full of his figure, "My husband-in-law is so good-looking."
After Lu Xinghe heard this, he quickly turned his face away, his ears showing a tender pink color in the sunlight.
"You are a girl, so you are not ashamed."
The little girl raised her lips with some dissatisfaction, "I look at my husband openly and honestly, what is there to be ashamed of?"
Looking at the fearless look on her face, Lu Xinghe couldn't get angry anymore. He smiled lightly and stretched out his hand to wipe the corner of her mouth.
"I always say that I am not a child, and I can fill my mouth with porridge."
Chu Yue quickly raised her sleeves and rubbed the corners of her mouth.
"Where is it?"
Lu Xinghe smiled, finished the last mouthful of porridge, sent the bowl to the kitchen, then grabbed the pheasant that was covered under the kitchen dustpan, and looked at Chu Yue when he left the kitchen.
"I'm going back to read first. I'll be back after eating the porridge. Don't go to the mountains." The last sentence was a bit serious.
"Okay." After Chu Yue finished speaking, she continued to cook the porridge.
After Lu Xinghe told Chu Yue, he turned and looked to the other side, "Grandma, mother, eldest uncle, second uncle and fourth uncle, eldest uncle and second uncle, I'm going back first."
Everyone hurriedly said, "Go back quickly. We are still here. We will take care of the new house and repair it properly for you."
