Chapter 4 False Alarm

Wang Qiusheng was already worried about Xiao Li, so he hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and walked towards the back mountain with his sister in his arms.

…

Houshan,

In the dense forest, it was quiet, Wang Qiusheng walked forward panting with his sister on his back, coughing from time to time.

Jiaojiao was lying on the person's back, the elder brother coughed and his back was shaking, she said softly, "Elder brother, drink some water and rest."

Wang Qiusheng thought that the younger sister was thirsty, so he found a stone and put him down, panting heavily, pulled out the water bag and handed it to the younger sister, "Jiaojiao, drink it."

Brother's mouth was dry and white, Jiaojiao shook her head and pushed the water bag over, "Drink, brother."

Wang Qiusheng's mouth was dry, so he took a sip without holding back, and then handed it to his younger sister to coax him: "Brother, drink it, Jiaojiao, drink it quickly, or your throat will hurt soon."

I heard that Jiaojiao just took a sip from the water bag, then returned the water bag to her brother, slipped off the stone, thumped her calf and said very seriously: "Well, my legs are numb, let's go for a walk It won't be numb anymore."

Wang Qiusheng saw the younger sister walking forward by herself, and hurriedly took the younger sister's hand and told him: "Go slowly, and hold on to the elder brother's hand."

"it is good."

Two figures of different heights walked towards the back of the mountain.

Sudden,

A few white afterimages passed above them.

Ginseng essence is very sensitive to small sounds.

Jiaojiao stopped abruptly, looked up.

The figures above the head disappeared, leaving only the top of the tree trembling a few times, and the **** eyes were full of surprise, "Wow."

"Jiaojiao, what's wrong?"

Wang Qiusheng saw the little girl looking up to the sky, and he also looked up, but saw nothing.

"Brother, there was someone just now." Jiaojiao looked back, and the white waxy face blinked with some emotion. What a powerful human being, he is as brisk as a swallow.

Wang Qiusheng felt a little nervous when he heard someone subconsciously protecting his sister behind him. He looked around warily, and shouted hesitantly, "Who, come out."

"Brother, they have already left." Jiaojiao tugged at the corner of the elder brother's clothes.

Her little face was a little emotional, she looked down at her little arms and legs, and really wanted to try to hurry like a swallow.

"Leaving?" Wang Qiusheng looked around, not even a sign of trouble, he didn't hear anyone from the beginning to the end, how could the younger sister even know that someone had left.

At this moment, Jiaojiao's ears moved again, her eyes lit up, and it was Xiao Li's cry! She hurriedly pulled her eldest brother and said, "Brother, let's go find Xiao Li."

"Yes." Wang Qiusheng didn't think too much, and continued walking forward with his little sister.

Walking forward for a while, Wang Qiusheng heard the voices of his younger brother and his mother. The younger brother seemed to be crying, and he was suddenly worried. He picked up his younger sister and ran towards the front where the voice was.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

The clothes on Xiao Li's body were covered with rubbed dirt and leaves, tears and snot flowed from his nose, rubbed his eyes and cried, "Wuuuu... Huzi let me go."

Liu Guihua took her youngest son's clothes by the back of the neck, and wiped his nose with a handkerchief. She was really angry and angry, sobbing and cursing: "You are worthless, Hu Zi, they let you drill in, so you can drill in." Ah! Your father has repeatedly warned you not to go anywhere, why do you listen to others, I will forget it if I am so angry!"

She almost didn't scare her to death just now, but fortunately she was entangled by the vines at the entrance of the cave, otherwise there would be no life in falling into the bottomless abyss.

Wang Qiusheng walked over with Jiaojiao in his arms, put Jiaojiao down, stepped forward and pulled the younger brother from his mother, coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "Mother, I was scared when I fell into the tree hole, what did you call him?"

Xiao Li hid in his elder brother's arms aggrieved, his eyes were red and swollen, and his face was covered with tears.

"Qiusheng, what are you doing here? It's not to tell you to watch your sister stop running around. Oh, why is my baby so red?"

Seeing her daughter following behind, Liu Zhihua hurried forward, took Xinganbao to look around, and then heaved a sigh of relief. She picked her up and asked softly, "Jiaojiao, are you tired?"

Jiaojiao shook her head, "I'm not tired." As she spoke, she took out a piece of malt candy from her pocket, and reached out to give it to Xiao Li.

Liu Zhihua stopped him, and said helplessly: "Xiao Li did something wrong and refused to let him eat, so your father bought these for you, and they will be gone after eating."

Liu Zhihua touched her daughter's head, maltose was not cheap, and bought some for her because of illness, and within two days of buying, the girl was almost gone.

Jiaojiao was taken aback, looked at her candy bag, hesitated for a moment, saw Xiao Li staring greedily at the candy in her hand, her mouth was still moving, she stretched out her arm and handed it over, "Brother, eat."

Xiao Li's eyes lit up, a nasal bubble popped out of his nose, he happily got out of his elder brother's arms, picked up his mother's pants, picked up the maltose from his sister's hand on tiptoe, and put it in his mouth impatiently, gleeful Eat it up, "Hi sister~"

Liu Zhihua looked at her silly son, feeling suffocated, her family was poor, but her child was always being bullied like this, she felt uncomfortable and flustered.

Wang Qiusheng pulled the younger brother, patted the soil and tree leaves on his clothes, and asked with a frown, "Xiao Li, tell the elder brother how you fell into the tree hole?"

"I bought a lot of bird eggs, and the tiger bought them for a copper coin. Later, he insisted on taking me to the back of the mountain to drill a tree hole, saying that he would give me a lot of copper coins for the mud wall of our house, but he didn't give it. He is a villain and a liar."

Xiao Li was happy eating candy, and said everything in one go.

After finishing speaking, he also took out a handful of stones from his pocket, with a dirty copper plate in it. The little black hand picked out the copper plate, handed it to his sister and said with a smirk, "My sister buys a headband."

When Liu Zhihua heard this, tears came out immediately, and she cried: "You bastard! Did you lose money? I am short for you to eat or short for you to wear. We are poor, but your father can earn money. The money is for you to spend, stay away from them in the future."

Xiao Li saw his mother crying, so he nodded quickly in fright, and said obediently: "Mother~ Xiao Li is obedient, if you don't sell tiger cubs, their eggs won't make money."

Wang Qiusheng curled his fingers hanging by his side, lowered his eyes and pursed his lips, and said with a bit of self-blame in his voice, "It's all my fault, I spent too much money."

In fact, the family doesn’t need much money, and all the money my father earns from selling wild goods is used to buy him medicine and pay for his wife’s tuition.

Liu Zhihua said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, kid? You are our family's hope in the future. Study hard and gain fame and glory in the future. Let those who look down on us see it, and give your parents a good reputation."

After finishing speaking, Liu Zhihua became happier again. The eldest son is quick to learn everything. The masters in the school said that he will be successful in the future. If he is successful in the future, he will be able to protect his younger siblings.

Wang Qiusheng's eyelids trembled slightly, he curled up his fingertips and held it, bowed his head and did not speak.

He didn’t dare to tell his mother that he had dropped out of school with his master, and the tuition fee had increased by two taels of silver this year. The family was already struggling, so how could they save two taels of silver.

"Qiu Sheng heard, you can study in the school with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about the money." Liu Zhihua said.

Qiu Sheng replied in a low voice: "...um."

Jiaojiao lay on her mother's shoulder and listened to their speech, holding the dirty copper plate that Xiao Li gave her, she blinked her black and white eyes, it turned out that the family was so poor.

Well, how do humans make money? She also wants to make money for her family.
