Chapter 11 May be cannon fodder

Wake up from a dream.

Ying Bao stared at the roof of the tent and was stunned for a long time.

I never thought that I would be lucky enough to be included in a book.

Based on many years of experience in scanning books and thinking about my own experience, I am probably the vicious cannon fodder in the book.

It’s a pity that I’ve only read a few chapters, and I don’t know what the sequel will be like, whether it will be the same as what she experienced in her previous life.

"Ying Bao, it's time to get up and eat." Chun Niang had already prepared breakfast. When she saw that her daughter was awake, she came to dress her.

“Mom, where is dad?” Ying Bao asked.

"Your father went to your uncle's house before dawn. They can't be late as they go to the market today."

She put a short-sleeved sweatshirt on Ying Bao, and Chun Niang tied her wristbands for her, and let her get off the kang by herself.

Yingbao quickly ran to the latrine to deal with it, looked at the deer again, then brushed his teeth and washed his face.

The deer has been led to the yard and is huddled under the date tree, looking at the little humans running around with its big, pitiful eyes.

After having a casual breakfast, Ying Bao quickly greeted her mother, carried a small bamboo basket in one hand, and held the deer in the other, and went for a walk outside.

Chunniang knew that her daughter had to go out every morning, so she didn't stop her. She just told her not to go too far and let her go.

Children in the village all get up early, and before the sun rises, they go out into the fields with baskets to harvest dewy grass, bring them back, wash them and chop them into pieces. Pigs and sheep especially like to eat them.

Yingbao also took advantage of the cool weather to go to the fields early in the morning. Instead of mowing the grass, she herded the deer and smuggled some shepherd's purse and Wudingzhi for the deer to eat.

The deer was obviously much more agile than yesterday, and the injury on its buttocks seemed to be scabbed.

However, since the wound was covered with blood and hair, it was difficult to see the extent of the healing, and the fawn would not allow anyone to touch the wound, so Yingbao continued to feed Wudingzhi.

The deer seemed to like eating this food very much. He abandoned his fear and stuck out his tongue to lick Yingbao's fingers.

Yingbao simply took out some more and watched it eat up.

After the deer finished eating, he looked left and right, licking his tongue back and forth, as if he was thirsty.

“Here, drink water.” Yingbao took out a broken jar and filled it with some pool water.

The deer lowered its head and drank it all in one go, then swung its short tail and happily gnawed on the grass.

“Yingbao! You herd the deer.”

Yuanbao from the uncle's family came running, carrying a small schoolbag on his back.

Ying Bao's eyes lit up when she saw him, "Yes, Brother Yuan Bao, did you go to school so early?"

Yuan Bao nodded and stepped forward to stroke the deer's back.

Yingbao asked: "Brother Yuanbao, can I go to school with you?"

Yuanbao shook his head: "Master won't let me."

"I will stay outside and not enter the school." Ying Bao refused to give up.

Yuan Bao blinked and said seriously: "Master will slap your hand."

Yingbao:…

Seeing that his little cousin was unhappy, Yuanbao hesitated and said, "How about you look at her from a distance and don't get close."

The Master doesn’t like girls going to school. If he sees them, he will scold them and drive them away.

"Okay." Ying Bao immediately agreed, holding the deer in hand and urging, "Then let's leave quickly."

Yuan Bao scratched his head and had no choice but to follow.

Village School is a private school run by the Chen family. At first, it was mainly used to educate children of the Chen family.

But it is also the only school in the surrounding villages, so children with other surnames can also enroll as long as they pay close attention.

The village school master is an old boy, also surnamed Chen. He is almost seventy but very old-fashioned and determined not to accept female students.

So in Dongchen Village and Xichen Village, no female doll can read.

Yingbao led Xiaolu and stopped five feet away from the village school. She pushed Yuanbao, who was still next to Xiaolu, and told him to leave quickly.

Yuan Bao reluctantly left. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell him: "Don't run around, wait until I get off school."

Yingbao nodded and waved to him, "Brother Yuanbao, study hard and teach me how to read after school. I'll let Xiaolu play with you."

"Okay." Yuan Bao nodded solemnly, turned around and ran to the school resolutely.

Sitting on the slope, Yingbao could see not only the school, but also the slowly flowing river and the stone arch bridge over the river.

As long as you walk across the arch bridge, you will see Xichen Village on the other side, where Chen Changping's family is located.

In the last life, all the sufferings I suffered after I was born came from that family, and my life ended with them. It’s sad to think about it.

Ying Bao turned back and stroked the deer with one hand while looking at the school children who were rushing to school one after another.

The fawn was full of food and drink, and nestled with its legs bent at the feet of its little master, silently chewing its cud.

 Several schoolchildren passing by looked at this strange combination curiously. Two of them even walked up the **** and reached out to touch the deer.

The deer was frightened, jumped up and hid behind Yingbao.

Ying Bao looked at the two children coldly.

She recognized both of them.

One is Chen Song, the younger son of Chen Changping's eldest brother's family, and the other is a child of the Cunzheng family of Xichen Village.

Seven-year-old Chen Song is one year older than Yuan Bao, and is also at the age of enlightenment. He looks ignorant and harmless at the moment.

Who would have thought that such a child would want to do evil to a six or seven-year-old girl five years later.

However, Yaizi will definitely retaliate to her, so how can she let herself suffer?

In the cold winter when she was seven years old, she designed Chen Song to fall into the water and fall into an ice cave.

Although he was rescued in time, his legs and feet were disabled and he became a lame.

Of course, she herself was not well off either. She was beaten severely by her biological father, mother and grandmother in turn, and several sticks were broken, which almost killed her. She was left in a grass den without being able to move for a month.

In that month, no one asked her for medical treatment or took care of her. She was as neglected as a wild dog.

Perhaps she was afraid of the neighbors’ comments, so they would occasionally throw a piece of black flour pancake and a ladle of water to her.

With everything like that, the Chen family expected that she would die.

Unexpectedly, she was lucky enough to survive.

 Ying Bao still doesn’t understand why she is like an unkillable cockroach, always able to survive in desperate situations time and time again.

“Did you raise this deer?” Chen Song asked.

Ying Bao ignored him and took the deer to the side.

 Chen Song was not angry when he saw that the little doll was ignoring anyone. He followed a few steps and continued to ask: "Whose family do you belong to? Can you hold the little deer for me?"

Ying Bao lowered her face and said coldly: "No!"

 Chen Song frowned, but before he could say anything, the kid next to him said, "You can't do it just because you said you can't? We insist on holding him!"

As he said that, he started to grab the rope.

Ying Bao hurriedly dodged and shouted, "Master! Your student robbed me of my deer!"

The boy was startled, subconsciously stepped back, and quickly looked back.

As expected, the master stood at the door of the school, looking over from a distance with his hands behind his back.

The schoolboy and Chen Song were frightened and ran downhill like flying.

Ying Bao let out a sound and continued to wander around with the deer in hand.

The Jiang family had just treated the Master to some venison yesterday. She didn’t believe that the Master could just sit back and let his students bully a baby who was over one year old.

Walking around for a while, I saw no one around, so I crouched down and shoveled dirt from the farmland or river ditch and took it into the cave.

Seeing that it was almost done, he smuggled some shepherd's purse and stuffed it into the basket, picked it up and walked back.

The deer also followed every step without even using a leash.

When she got home, Ying Bao was sweating profusely and very tired.

After all, I am less than two years old and my strength is limited no matter how strong I am.

After working hard for a long time and walking so much, Ying Bao was about to collapse.

“Where did the skin go?”

Chun Niang came out of the kitchen and saw her daughter stretched out on the couch. She touched her forehead and asked, "What's wrong? Is she suffering from heat stroke?"

Yingbao shook his head and said feebly: "I got up too early in the morning, I'm sleepy."

Chunniang chuckled and pinched her little nose: "I think you are tired from being outdoors. Go to sleep. When you wake up, I will cut braised meat for you to eat."

Yesterday, her family received a piece of venison, which she had stewed in a pot for a long time. Today, she marinated it with sauce. It was crispy and tender, and her daughter didn’t have a toothache when eating it.

"Yeah." Ying Bao hugged her arm and said softly, "Mom is sleeping too."

Chun Niang had no choice but to lie down with her daughter and use a cattail leaf fan to cool her down.
