Chapter 10, Ximen Qing
Scenes of past events flashed through his mind, and Li Heng deliberately shouted hoarsely: "Who is stealing the tree?"
"ah?"
Hearing the sudden sound, Yang Yingwen screamed in fright, and his body froze a little. It took him a while to react.
Looking around, she saw a face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
She breathed a sigh of relief, patted her plump chest and complained: "It's you, why are you pretending to be a ghost? You scared me to death."
Later she asked: "Why did a lazy person like you come into the mountains?"
Li Heng suddenly became unhappy and raised his eyebrows: "No, this is what I look like in your mind? Very lazy?"
"God! Aren't you lazy? You have the nerve to say it. Your skin is paler than that of people in the city. Everyone behind your back says you look like an embroidery lady." Yang Yingwen retorted rudely.
Li Heng stretched his head over and asked curiously: "What else are you saying about me behind my back?"
Yang Yingwen tilted his head to look at him and said seriously: "It's best not to ask, there's nothing nice to say."
Li Heng was stunned for a moment, "I seem to be sincere and friendly to others. Why do I have such a bad reputation?"
Yang Yingwen laughed and criticized mercilessly: "Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid?
As for the immoral thing you did by tricking Chen Zijing into bed, go and find out for yourself, who would dare to let their daughter have contact with you now?"
After being exposed, Li Heng looked a little upset and retorted angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, we are in love."
"What's the use of blowing your hair and staring at me? It's not like I'm gossiping behind your back."
After Yang Yingwen finished speaking, he still felt uneasy and continued to provoke him: "Besides, you have the nerve to do such a thing, and you don't want others to say a few words."
Li Heng pointed at her, feeling very depressed: "We have been friends for so many years, but you can't trust me?"
Yang Yingwen said: "It's not like you have no criminal record. You were a bad boy in the first year of junior high school."
Grandma is a bitch! After all, there was no way to talk today. Li Heng crossed her and prepared to drag the tung tree she chopped down home.
Seeing this, Yang Yingwen became a little anxious and quickly followed him: "Hey! Li Heng, don't be like this. I finally found a dead tree and I'm going to take it home to burn..."
As the local saying goes, if you penetrate the fire, you will start the fire.
Before she could finish speaking, Li Heng turned around and said, "Just tell me if this mountain belongs to our old Li family, right?"
When she heard this, she opened her mouth, knowing that she was in the wrong.
Li Heng tried his best to drag the tung tree out of the mountain, but he saw that the girl was following him without saying a word.
So he teased her: "Please! Say something nice and I will give you this tree."
Yang Yingwen was very angry: "You're so cool, don't even think about it. At worst, I'll just find another one."
"Then you go find me. I'm going home. Thank you for helping me cut down the tree."
As he spoke, he put the tree on his shoulders and made a move to leave.
Unexpectedly, the girl remained indifferent and looked straight at him.
Li Heng turned his head and looked at her face for a while, then couldn't help but say: "What are you doing? Come on, I'll take you back."
Yang Yingwen didn't appreciate it: "Don't, I can't afford it. I don't want others to gossip about us behind our backs."
Li Heng raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean? Can you say it again? Do you think it's embarrassing to come with me?"
If you win, just click it. Yang Yingwen smiled earthly, did not provoke him any more, turned around and walked towards the mountain.
After knowing her for so many years, Li Heng knew her temperament and was not really angry. He immediately placed the tree in a wide area so as not to block the road, and then followed her.
I searched two hills in succession, and my hard work paid off. I found another dry pine tree, but this land no longer belonged to Lao Li's family.
But whatever.
According to the old saying, stealing firewood is not stealing, but stealing it is called skill.
As long as we don't catch the current situation and don't go too far, everyone will tacitly turn a blind eye. After all, we live in the countryside. Who hasn't done this kind of nonsense?
Who has a clean bottom?
The dry pine tree was so big that it was cut into four sections and bundled with three loads of firewood. Li Heng and Yang Yingwen ran back and forth four times before moving them out of the mountain.
At this time, the two of them were sweating profusely. They were already paralyzed with exhaustion. They were as tired as dogs. They were too tired to look good.
When passing by a mountain spring, they happily lay down on the ground and drank the water. They washed their hands and faces before they had time to sit down and rest.
She asked: "Grandma Chun passed away, and Zijin didn't come back. Do you still have contact?"
Li Heng shook his head: "No, but her sister gave me a bag of study materials yesterday afternoon."
Yang Yingwen was surprised: "Chen Zitong gave it to you? Are you kidding me? You did that to her sister. Doesn't she hate you to death?"
Li Heng said angrily: "Okay, okay, is this over? Can you turn the page?"
Yang Yingwen took care of his mood and really didn't mention it again. After chatting for a while, the two went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.
The tung tree was the best material for igniting fire. Li Heng left it to her, and then just wanted to carry a section of dry pine tree away.
But she refused to let it go and insisted on dividing it equally. She also said that she had already taken advantage of it.
Li Heng pushed her several times, but couldn't resist her, so he finally had to follow her.
Before leaving, he asked again: "You really don't want me to help you take you home?"
Yang Yingwen refused simply, "Spare me. From now on, you will pretend you don't know me in the village. I will get married in the future."
Grandma’s legs!
Li Heng, who turned his face faster than flipping through a book, murmured to himself, carried the wood on his right shoulder, and the rabbit in his left hand, and rushed to the crossroads.
…
In the evening, the eldest sister came to eat again with a big belly.
Li Yan never knew what it meant to be polite when she returned to her parents' house. Before she even entered the door, she shouted into the house:
"Brother, I heard someone said that you stepped on dog poop and caught a wild rabbit. Is it true?"
Li Heng had just finished killing the rabbit and was about to skin it. Seeing her running so fast, he suddenly reminded nervously:
"Sister, please walk slower and be careful of falling."
"I'll be careful if you take any chances."
Li Yan was very happy to see such a big rabbit. She touched it with shining eyes and said:
"There's so much meat, I'm afraid it weighs more than four kilograms. This is a good dish. Brother, please cook with more rice. I will eat here tonight."
"..."
This was completely expected by Li Heng, so he nodded in agreement.
Next, the two siblings squatted at the back door to remove the rabbit's hair, one on each side, and they quickly pulled it out.
Behind me, the second sister came back from cutting pig grass and carried back four large baskets in one go. Two baskets of grass were fed to the cows, and two baskets of grass were chopped to be cooked into pig food.
In the middle, Li Lan asked him: "Did you cut down the dry pine trees in the field outside?"
Li Heng took a kitchen knife and cut into the rabbit's internal organs without raising his head, so he said yes.
Li Lan asked again: "It's only half, where did the other half go? Why don't you transport it back together?"
At this time, the eldest sister suddenly interrupted: "I know, I know. I was at Yang Yingwen's house and passed by their door when I came down. I saw it."
Speaking of this, Li Yan asked him innocently: "Brother, that's not right, then why does Yang Yingwen have one more tung tree than you?
You are at a big loss, how about I go find her and bring back half of the tung tree."
Li Heng: "..."
Li Lan: "..."
Ouch! What the hell is inside this eldest sister’s head?
Isn't it all rubbish?
I really don't have the eyesight to pick up which pot I don't open.
Li Heng hurriedly said: "Sister, no need, I caught the hare myself, which wasted my time."
Li Lan was not that easy to fool. When he heard the tung tree, he immediately thought of something. Then he stopped chopping the pigweed and got up and went to the back mountain.
Not long after, she found the tung tree based on her memory, but by then the tree was gone, leaving only a root as thick as a vegetable bowl.
Li Lan bent down to identify the knife edge. It was very fresh, and she immediately knew what was going on.
When she was pulling pigweed yesterday, she saw the dead tree from a distance, but she didn't have time at the time and couldn't get out of it. She didn't expect that the prodigal son would give it to the woman when she turned around.
After returning home, Li Lan kept silent about the Tongzi tree, and suddenly said something when her eldest sister was not around:
"I can understand Chen Zijing. After all, he is quite beautiful. How could you do this to Yang Yingwen?"
It's not that she thinks Yang Yingwen is ugly, but that her appearance and temperament are not from the same country as Chen Zijin, so they can't be compared.
In several nearby villages, as a beauty, she only recognized Chen Zijing as the same kind.
