Chapter 3

Shen Qing's weak lie back, the stone is still beside the intermittent cry. Listening to the cry, Shen Qing finds that she is not bored, but has a little heartache. Maybe this is the body's original emotion for the boy. Sister and brother must have a good relationship.

After such a big accident, it's lucky to be alive, no matter how. Maybe God saw that his previous life was too smooth and complacent, and now he is suffering. Influenced by the policy in the previous life, he was the only daughter without brothers and sisters. Now he has a younger brother, which seems to be pretty good.

Lying for a while, it seems to accept the current state. Shen Qing has always thought that she has a strong ability to adapt to various situations. Maybe she was trained by herself when she was young. Now she is of great use.

"Well, stone, don't cry. Tell my sister first, what's wrong with me? Is he ill? " Shen Qing decided to accept the reality. No matter how the reality is, it's useless to escape. What she should face, sooner or later. Cowardice and weakness, after the problem is solved.

"Sister, don't you remember? Three days ago, Liu Dafu's Dunzi bullied me. You came to pull him away, but he pushed you into Qingxi River, which is the river in front of our house. Fortunately, brother Lin Zi and his father, uncle Lin Shan, came to send us some food. Seeing you fall into the river, they rescued you. You've been burning since you came back. You've been in a coma The stone lowered his head, and his eyes were red with tears. Then he said, "I didn't have money to buy medicine. I went to find my milk. My milk said that you can live with myrrh. If you want to live like this, it's useless to buy medicine." Shen Qing understood how her body was sick and how she died.

"Then we really have to thank uncle Lin and his family." Shen Qing said to the stone, thinking that the original owner is too cowardly, how he didn't teach the bully, but he gave his life in vain. It's right to have the heart to protect his brother, but he has to have the ability to protect him. Forget it, if you use other people's body, you can't read other people's wrong. After all, what you protect is her brother.

"Uncle Lin's family are all good people. We have no land, no land and no money. We can only live by the relief of some kind-hearted villagers on weekdays." Stone said while looking back at the sky, said to Shen Qing: "sister, it's dark, you haven't eaten yet, there's some porridge in the pot, I'll bring it to you." Then he ran out.

This younger brother is really good. He is good at taking care of people. He is a warm boy. Shen Qing is very satisfied with his brother.

After a while, the boy came in with a broken bowl and held it carefully, like a treasure.

Shen Qing sat up straight, reached for the bowl and looked down in the dim light: is this porridge? Is this rice? Is this for people to eat? Broken side of the bowl, only half a bowl is not viscous, some black liquid. Who can tell her what this is? Can you eat it? Then I looked up and saw the stone standing in front of the grass nest, staring at the broken bowl and tightening my lips. Shen Qinggang wants to ask why you always stand and don't sit. After looking around, he finds that there are no chairs and no place to sit. Looking at the stone's nervous eyes, I'm afraid I won't drink this porridge. Hesitating about how to deal with this bowl of unknown liquid, a grunt came from my stomach. It seems that the stomach is empty. Hold the bowl to your mouth to smell it first, or the food in the bowl is really edible. Another grunt. It's not my own. Look up, see stone cover stomach, embarrassed smile, said: "sister, you drink, I'm not hungry." It turned out that the boy didn't eat either, but gave himself only what he could eat. It really moved him.

I remember hearing a story before, a beautiful girl has two pursuers at the same time, one is a rich man, the other is poor, only a steamed bread. The beautiful girl finally married the poor man, and the people around her didn't understand. The girl explained, "although the rich man is very rich, he only gave me 100 yuan, while the poor man gave me all the steamed bread he has. That's all he has. I cherish all the people I have, not just a small part of them. "

The boy in front of him is expected to be the final choice of a beautiful girl. If anyone marries him in the future, he will be happy.

Shen Qing wandered for a while, carrying a bowl of porridge. She couldn't drink the black porridge and didn't want the lovely boy to drink such a terrible thing. Put the bowl to one side, hold up and go down.

"Sister, what are you going to do? You can't get up yet. Take some stones for you. " Seeing that his sister was about to get up, the boy quickly stepped forward to help him.

"Elder sister is OK, we don't eat this, elder sister will make delicious food for you." Shen Qing doesn't want to feel sorry for her stomach, and doesn't want to see her brother suffer from hunger together. She decides to solve the first meal of this strange journey first.

"But we have nothing to eat." Stone reluctantly replied: "three days ago, uncle Lin Shan sent some grain to us, but his family is not rich, and there is very little that can give us. I cooked some porridge, but I am not willing to drink it. I want to wait for you to wake up and drink it for you. It's hot and hot Stone people are not big, but they are very sensible.

"I'll go out and have a look. You burn the fire first. It's so cold at night that it's easy to get sick if you don't light the fire and sleep. " Shen Qing looks at the cold thatched cottage, remembering that she used to have heating and air conditioning, and she doesn't know how people here get warm."Sister, I can't. It's estimated that there will be a wind at night and a fire will set our house on fire." Stone explained.

"How did we get warm before that?" Shen Qing doesn't understand how other people spend the winter if they can't make a fire at night in winter?

"In the past, when our parents were there, our house was made of adobe. The stove in the kitchen and the Kang in the house had flues, and the hole in the Kang was open. The fire started in the kitchen, and the heat went down the hole and heated the adobe Kang. " The stone recalled and said, the look in his eyes, as if it was a happy past. Also, a child with a mother is a treasure, but a child without a mother is a grass. That's the lyrics.

"Why don't we live in the house after mom and dad died?" Shen Qing asked.

"Sister, have you really forgotten?" Stone took a sad look at Shen Qing, and then said: "my father died first, and soon my mother passed away. Grandma said that it cost her a lot of money to bury them. She wanted us to use the house to offset it, so she drove us out, and the house was given to the second uncle's cousin. Grandma said that when my cousin is old enough to get married, he needs to have his own house before a girl is willing to marry him. " Stone said, eyes show resentment, and then helplessly lowered his head.
