Chapter 4

If ordinary village women heard about ghosts and gods, they would have been scared away. However, Cui's personality was fierce and did not believe in ghosts and gods. Hearing Du Xiaoli's words, they not only didn't go down, but also quickly walked towards her, pushed her away and said: "What, Grandpa Yama, if you see Yama, I am the reincarnation of Yama. Go away, Du Xiuheng, and bring the bird's eggs!"

Du Xiaoli had just recovered from illness and had been malnourished for a long time. He was pushed by Cui and fell to the ground.

"Sister!" Du Xiuheng panicked when he saw Du Xiaoli fall down. Cui grabbed the egg in his hand. He didn't care to grab the bird egg back, ran to Du Xiaoli and asked, "sister, are you okay?"

Du Xiaoli knew Cui's temperament. She didn't have much power now. Today, the bird's egg came into her hand. She didn't come back. When she saw the broken stones on the ground, she turned her eyes, grabbed a handful of broken stones and hit Cui. Then she sat up, kicked her legs, covered her face with her small hands and began to cry.

"Sobbing, Auntie bullies people. Auntie is a robber. She robbed my eggs. Sobbing..."

Cui Shi stretched out his hand to block most of the gravel, but did not notice that a small stone did not attack upward, but hit her right leg under the cover of the gravel, making her right leg numb. However, the pain in her upper body made her quickly ignore the discomfort in her leg.

"Well, you little girl, you dare to hit me with a stone!" Cui said and was about to come and hit Du Xiaoli. Du Xiuheng quickly stood in front of her and said, "aunt, my sister is still young. You've grabbed the bird's egg, so don't worry about her."

"Mom, I'm hungry. Go back and cook bird eggs for me!" Du Shuitian behind Cui saw that his mother had got the bird eggs and began to urge him.

"Hum, I'll bypass you this time. Dare to hit me next time and see how I clean you up!" Cui patted the place stained with gravel. "By the way, I'm here to ask you, Du Xiuheng, when are you going to return the rice you borrowed from my house a few days ago?"

Du Xiaoli wondered why she came. She came to ask for debt!

"Aunt, it has just cleared up this day. I went to the mountains to cut firewood today and haven't had time to sell it in town, so you give me a few more days and I will return the rice to you in a few days!" Du Xiuheng replied.

"Mom, hurry up, hurry up." Du Shuitian took Cui and urged her to go back quickly.

Cui took ladu Shuitian's hand, looked at Du Xiuheng and said, "for your dead parents' sake, I'll give you a few more days. You have to return it to me early. Tianshui in my house is almost out of white rice, you know?"

"Nephew knows," said Du Xiuheng.

"Hum. Let's go back." Cui said and took Du Xiaotian and turned away.

After Cui left, Du Xiaoli got up from the ground, patted the soil on his body, paced to the edge of the yard, put his hands on the rotten fence and looked at Cui's back.

"Sister, what are you looking at?" Du Xiuheng saw that Du Xiaoli stopped crying, ran to the edge of the yard, looked down the mountain leisurely, came over and asked.

"Brother, look." Du Xiaoli pointed to Cui.

"Why..." before Du Xiuheng finished, he saw that Cui, who was about to reach the foot of the mountain, suddenly had a soft leg and fell down. Because of the slope, she rolled on the ground for several times before she stopped.

"Ouch..."

Cui's sad cry came up from the foot of the mountain.

"Mom, how are you?" Du Xiaotian felt running down and looked at Cui Shi lying on the ground. When Cui Shi looked up, he suddenly shouted, "Mom, you broke the bird's egg!"

Cui felt his face wet and sticky. When he reached out and touched it, his whole face was broken bird eggs.

"Mom, you broke the bird's eggs. What should I eat?" Du Xiaotian said with a sad face when he saw that both bird's eggs were broken.

"Eat, eat, and you'll know how to eat. Don't help me up! Ouch..." Cui scolded when he saw his son's unpromising appearance.

Du Xiaotian then went up to pick up Cui and helped her limp back.

"Ha ha......" Du Xiaoli looked at the scene at the foot of the mountain and laughed.

She had just hit the nerve on Cui's leg, which made her leg not so easy to use when she went downhill. Unexpectedly, she not only fell, but also got the bird's egg on her face, which swept away the depression that the bird's egg was robbed in her heart.

"Sister, how do you know aunt will fall?" Du Xiuheng asked, looking at the laughing man.

"Guess!" Du Xiaoli looked at Cui's leaving back, raised his small head, turned and walked towards the house.

"Can you guess?" Du Xiuheng said in doubt and followed Du Xiaoli into the room. However, he was also very happy to see Cui wrestling and hummed to cook dinner.

Although Du Xiaoli didn't eat bird eggs for dinner, she was in a good mood. Today's event gave her an inspiration. Since she can find bird eggs in the mountains, she can find other things. Generally, there are many good things in the mountains!

During the meal, Du Xiuheng saw that she didn't speak and thought she was still suffering from the robbery of bird eggs. He said, "sister, I'll show you if there are any when I go into the mountain next time. Don't be sad." "brother, I'm not sad. I was thinking that if there are bird eggs in the mountain, there must be something else. I'll go with you next time you go up the mountain." Du Xiaoli pulled the porridge in the bowl and looked at Du Xiuheng. "No, it's hard to walk in the mountains. You're so small. What if you fall?" Du Xiuheng refused. "No, you just let me go, OK?" Du Xiaoli said without giving up. "No. if there's anything, I'll bring it back to you. Just wait for me at home. Be obedient." Du Xiuheng still disagreed. Well, I'll go myself when you go to the street tomorrow! Du Xiaoli thought. Anyway, she's not a real child. She stayed in the Amazon forest when she was a teenager. Now she's afraid of losing it in the mountains? The next morning, Du Xiuheng got up and made breakfast. After eating a little hastily, he saw Du Xiaoli wake up and said, "I guess I can't come back in the afternoon. You can eat more breakfast at noon. You're not completely healthy. Wait for me at home. Don't walk around, okay?" Du Xiaoli looked at the porridge in the bowl and asked, "brother, what do you eat at noon?" "I'll just eat in the town. I'll go first. Remember not to go everywhere!" Du Xiuheng said and went down the mountain with the firewood he cut yesterday. "Alas, Mingming is still a child..." Du Xiaoli came to the door, looked at Du Xiuheng's small back and sighed.
