Every household in sanli river was very grateful. When they came to the village to pick up their children, they would pull lin bao home to warm up and have a cup of hot tea.
However, lin bao was worried about his wife at home, so he didn' t want to sit any longer. He smiled and said a few words before heading back in the snow. All the women in the family were so regretful that they wished they could slap their thighs. If they had known that the lin family was like this, they would have married their daughters even if they did not want a dowry.
Logically speaking, it wasn' t too late at this time. The twelve lin family boys were not engaged except for lin bao. However, lin ping liked to learn martial arts, and his character was the most impetuous. Even the peasants felt that he was unstable. In the city, lin rong was obsessed with carpentry and could not be seen easily. Lin hua was also known as the little shopkeeper. It was easy to get a wife in the city. She was afraid that she would not like their silly daughter.
The rest of the boys were still too young, so the lin family couldn' t get engaged so early.
Therefore, it was not appropriate to calculate this ...
Heavy snow and small snow, one after another, when the weather was fine, and then seven or eight days.
Old master lin counted the days, and it was almost the same. However, the tall couple did not come back. He was also restless, and said to master liu," brother, let's take a walk around and welcome to the south. "
Master liu had been at ease in the lin family these past few days. Hearing the old brother's question, he nodded and said," alright, let's go for a walk. If we don' t move, we' ll be fat as pigs." "
"Well, it's been a long time since our brother and I went out together. "
The old man became interested, put on a sheepskin jacket, put on a dog skin hat, personally rushed the horse to climb the plow, pulled the same outfit of the old captain, the two of them set off happily.
Jiao Jiao wanted to go with them to play, but dong shi pulled her back. She thought that with master liu around, she might as well be alone with her grandfather. She couldn' t just take out food for free, so it was fine.
Just then, news came from the city that the new storytelling conference was about to start. Lin dahe was pressing for a manuscript. She had been too busy these few days and had to go into her space at night. She was also a little tired from using the time difference to catch up on her work, so it was rare for her to stay at home honestly.
Feng shi had a rough heart and a quick temper, but it wasn' t that she didn' t dote on her daughter. Seeing her daughter locked up in her room, there would be a pile of manuscripts on the desk every morning, so she didn' t want to talk about her cooking anymore.
Jiao Jiao, the monkey, lost the old lady's binding spell and went to hong ying for some play.
The servant girl of the peasant family was naughty, and she was no worse than the boys. Otherwise, in the past, hong ying would not have egged Jiao Jiao on riding a dog, causing her to almost lose her life.
This time, they were not very naughty. He took a small climbing plow and slid on the ice of the river outside the village.
Jiao Jiao was not like hong ying, who had gone crazy all day, and had been put in a thick coat by his grandmother, and was especially awkward when he played.
When it was her turn to pull the plough, she always stumbled. She rolled into a snowman not long after climbing the plow.
Hong ying and big mei laughed so hard that they got down from the plow and shouted," go up, we'll hold you!" "
"Yes, my grandmother said that you are a life of enjoyment. She really couldn' t even pull a plow! "
Hong ying also laughed and stepped forward to give Jiao Jiao a push.
In fact, she did not use much strength, but the ice was slippery. Jiao Jiao had just used his strength to pull the plow. As a result, the push pushed her away and she fell directly on the ice and slid far away.
Not far from the river was the cellar where the victims lived. On weekdays, they took water from the river in the morning and made holes in the ice. In the daytime, the ice hole and a thin layer of ice, far look nothing, but if you fall in, not drowned, but wet clothes.
At such a time, his coat and trousers were soaked, and he had lost half his life.
Jiao Jiao, who had been pushed forward, was now running through the ice holes.
Hong ying and big mei were still clapping their hands at first, laughing behind them. When they realized something was wrong, Jiao Jiao was only a few feet away from the ice.
Hong ying was so frightened that she immediately changed her voice and screamed," Jiao Jiao, stop, stop! "
Big mei's legs immediately softened and she fell onto the ice.
They usually played with Jiao Jiao and were most warned by the family to take good care of Jiao Jiao and not to hurt her. The lin family used Jiao Jiao as their eyes, and the entire family was now under the protection of the lin family, so they naturally had to treat Jiao Jiao as their treasure.
However, they did not know what kind of evil they had committed. It was rare for them to come out to play once and cause trouble again ...
Jiao Jiao had fallen down earlier, kowtowed her chin, and slipped on the ice. Besides being cooler, she thought it was quite interesting.
When she wanted to rub her chin, she heard hong ying shouting. She looked up and finally realized that something was wrong.
But the coat was too thick and the ice was too slippery. She wanted to stop for a moment, but it was not that easy.
Seeing that she was about to plunge into the ice hole, at the critical moment, someone directly grabbed her back jacket and lifted her up.
The two men in their thirties were dressed in old jackets, their faces flushed with cold, and there were two wooden buckets beside them, which showed that they had come to fetch water, which happened to have saved Jiao Jiao.
"Well, there are too many ice holes in this river. Be careful. "
"That's right, if you fall in, you'll freeze to death! "
The two men put Jiao Jiao down firmly and spoke politely.
After that, hong ying and big mei pulled Jiao Jiao's hand. Their little faces were still pale, and they were obviously frightened.
Jiao Jiao calmed down and guessed that the two were victims of the disaster that had been gathered at home earlier. He asked," uncle, thank you for saving me. May I ask what your name is and what cellar you live in? "
When the two men heard what Jiao Jiao said, they looked at each other in surprise. It was so thrilling just now, and now the little girl was speaking so methodically. One of them said," we live in tianzi no. 3 underground cellar. My surname is wang. My name is wang sanfa. His name is liu shi." Are you the children of lin village? "
Although the lin family pampered Jiao Jiao and doted on her like a pearl, apart from dressing up when they entered the city, they were not very different from the girls in the village and rarely wore brocade clothes. Especially in winter, walking around the village is also wearing warm jacket pants. At this moment, she was just like big mei and hong ying. No wonder these two men couldn' t help but think that she was the lin family's most precious granddaughter.
Jiao Jiao smiled and thanked him." Yes, we are from the lin family village. Thank you for saving me, I said to my elders later, the elders will certainly come to thank you. We'll go back first, and the two uncles will be home early, too. It's cold. "
As she spoke, she pulled dahei and hong ying to the village.
Wang sanfa was the one who spoke first. When he saw the little girls walking far away, he bent over to dig some ice and water. He smiled and said," I heard that the lin family village is blessed by the mountain god. Look at how weird even a little girl is. "
