Chapter 29 Alienation
There is a north gate next to the guest house of the temple. In addition to the north gate, it is the back mountain of the temple. Song Huai took Xia Zihan to the back mountain.
Seeing that the road was wrong, Xia Zihan shook off his hand, paused and said, "Where are you taking me?"
Song Huai said with a smile, "There are many rabbits in this mountain. I will take you to catch the little rabbits."
Afraid that she would not want to go, Song Huai added, "The last time I came to burn incense with my mother, my aunt, and my eldest cousin, I secretly went to the back mountain to play with my eldest cousin and caught three newborn rabbits. My eldest brother My cousin is keeping it, it’s so cute.”
Bunny, she doesn't like it.
However, it would be nice to take a breather.
Xia Zihan put his hands behind his back and said, "Then I will leave by myself."
Tan Ju smiled and said, "County Master, let me lead you away."
Xia Zihan is only eight years old, and Tan Ju is worried that her feet will hurt if she walks too much in the mountains. When Zeng blames her, they will inevitably be scolded as servants.
As if he had seen through her little thoughts, Xia Zihan did not embarrass her and let her lead her away.
Song Huai seemed to feel her alienation from him, his little face elongated with depression. However, after entering the back mountain and seeing strange wild flowers and fruits, he quickly forgot about that little depression. .
Like wild horses running wild, Song Huai and his boy Shu Zhen happily picked a lot of wild fruits.
Song Huai specially picked a small red fruit that was both beautiful and delicious. He wiped it carefully with a handkerchief and handed it to Xia Zihan, "This fruit is delicious. Shu Zhen and I have eaten it before. It's not poisonous." Yes, cousin Chu Yu, you should try it too.”
It was hollow bubbles, which she had eaten in her previous life.
One time, her stepsister broke a plum vase in her stepmother's house. She was the one who broke it. The stepmother got angry and punished her by copying the female precepts three hundred times in the ancestral hall. Starve together.
Three hundred times of the female precepts, even if you don't eat, drink or sleep, you have to write for two days and two nights. She stayed up all day and all night. By the next day, her hands were numb and her stomach ached with hunger. But the people who worked in the kitchen were all her stepmother's people. After every meal, the kitchen was kept clean. , not to mention the leftovers, not even a vegetable leaf can be found.
After Nuanyu failed to steal, she didn't dare to go back to her room to get money to buy food. She had no other choice, so she sneaked out of the summer house, went to the mountains to pick a big bag of wild fruits, and hid it under the incense table in the ancestral hall. .
She and Nuanyu survived on those wild fruits for three days and three nights.
"Cousin Chu Yu, don't you like it?" Seeing that Xia Zihan didn't reach out to take it, Song Huai looked disappointed.
"Like it."
Just when he was about to retract his hand, Xia Zihan took the hollow bubble in his hand and put it into his mouth.
The sweet juice filled her mouth, and she tasted a taste she had not seen for a long time.
Song Huai grinned and said excitedly, "There are many kinds of food at Shu Zhen, and they are all edible. I will bring some back later and wash them before giving them to you to eat."
"Master, we didn't bring a paper bag, how can we take it back?" Shu Zhen looked at his pockets that were stained by wild juice juice in distress.
His clothes were just issued two days ago.
"What are you arguing about? Just take off your clothes." Song Huai muttered disapprovingly, "I will buy you a few more clothes."
With Song Huai's words, Shu Zhen's face immediately beamed with smile, "The young master is still smart, then I will go and tear off the clothes inside and use them to wrap the wild fruits."
With that said, the man went behind the big tree.
