Duan Qingyao didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.
"Thank you! However, I still feel that I am not worthy of your brother as I am now, neither human nor ghost. Your brother is so handsome. He will definitely meet someone who is young and beautiful and will be interested in him.
What a nice girl!”
Duan Qingyao fondly touched A Ping's head. No matter what, it was a happy thing to be recognized by a child.
"elder sister--"
A Ping looked at Duan Qingyao sympathetically, "I know you must have been very good-looking before you were burned, right? Don't worry, my brother and I will definitely help you find a panacea. By that time, by that time, you can become gentle."
She’s as beautiful as ever!”
When that time comes, when will it be?
Duan Qingyao had a bitter smile at the corner of her mouth. At this time, where was the time to discuss these things.
"Sister knows that you like me, but your brother's marriage cannot be decided by you, a child. Don't worry about it blindly. As for you, your biggest task now is to eat well, study well, and make every effort to
Don't let your brother worry anymore, that's enough!"
Duan Qingyao tried hard to dispel A Ping's idea. https://m.geilwx.Geil Literature Network
However, once some thoughts take root, they are like a spark that can only start a prairie fire and cannot be extinguished no matter how hard you put it out.
Aping knows that he is a child, no matter how serious and thoughtful he is, his sister will think that he is making trouble unreasonably!
Forget it, let's leave this matter to my brother to solve it himself.
Speaking of his brother, Aping couldn't help but wonder. On weekdays, his brother went into the mountains to hunt, but he came back after a while!
But how come this time, after being there for most of the day, I still haven’t seen a single person?
Is it possible that the herbs are more difficult to harvest?
A Ping waited patiently.
But until the sun set in the west, the crescent moon appeared on the horizon, and the insects and birds in the woods could be vaguely heard, I still didn't wait for my brother to come back.
At this time, Aping couldn't calm down anymore.
He walked to the yard more than once and looked forward to it, but every time he returned without success.
Seeing A Ping's disappointed look, Duan Qingyao couldn't help but feel worried.
During the day, the woods are relatively safe, but at night, wild beasts are out and about.
Da Zhuang, who grew up in the mountains and forests, should know these truths.
Why hasn't he come back yet?
"Aping, are you hungry? I'll cook for you!"
Originally, she was thinking of waiting for Da Zhuang to come back from hunting game, but now, she thought it was better to be self-reliant.
You can't let your children go hungry, right?
Duan Qingyao limped to the kitchen, and then realized that the two brothers' home was a real family with four walls.
There was less than half a bowl of rice left, and there were a few fresh mushrooms in the corner, and a few palm-sized sweet potatoes.
Apart from that, there is no other food!
It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. This time, Duan Qingyao understood it deeply.
Looking at the lackluster food, Duan Qingyao suddenly understood why Da Zhuang could not find a wife.
Who would be so unthinkable as to marry a good girl to such a poor family and suffer the consequences?
Not only is there no good food and drink, but you also have to take care of such a small child. To put it bluntly, you just got married and you become a stepmother!
"Aping, do you like sweet potato porridge or fried sweet potato strips?"
“What are fried sweet potato sticks?”
Duan Qingyao's question successfully attracted A Ping's attention.
He often drinks sweet potato porridge. There may not be anything else in the mountains, but there are still quite a lot of sweet potatoes.
"Fried sweet potatoes are just like French fries. First cut the sweet potatoes into strips, then boil them, and then fry them! The end is fragrant, crunchy, and delicious! Children like it! If you
If you haven’t eaten it before, my sister will cook it for you!”
"But, it seems that there is no gas at home!"
A Ping's words were like a basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing all Duan Qingyao's enthusiasm.
Really, there isn’t even a piece of meat in the simple kitchen, so where does the oil come from?
Seeing A Ping's disappointed eyes, Duan Qingyao forced a smile.
"It doesn't matter. Let's eat fried sweet potatoes next time. Let's eat sweet potato porridge first today, okay?"
"Um!"
A Ping no longer cares about what to eat.
All he can think about now is his brother. He doesn't understand why it's so late and his brother still hasn't come back?
"Sister, will something happen to my brother?"
There are some questions that Aping has never dared to ask.
But these fears lingered in his head all the time.
Apart from this possibility, he really couldn't figure out why his brother didn't show up so late.
"No, didn't you say that your brother is so strong that even if he meets a tiger, the tiger will not be his opponent?"
Duan Qingyao joked.
"That's what I said! I mean, if my brother encounters a tiger, the tiger will definitely not be his opponent, but what if he accidentally encounters two?"
One to two, wouldn’t my brother definitely lose?
The more A Ping thinks about it, the more scared he becomes!
At exactly this time, the cry of wild beasts came from the depths of the forest.
It's the howl of a wolf!
A Ping was startled and subconsciously jumped into Duan Qingyao's arms and hugged her tightly!
"ah!"
Duan Qingyao, who was covered in burns, gasped in pain when A Ping hugged her like this.
It hurts like hell!
The pain caused circles of cold sweat to break out on her forehead, but she gritted her teeth and did not push Aping away after all.
When A Ping said this, Duan Qingyao also became worried.
"Do you know where your brother goes hunting on weekdays?"
"I know! My brother always goes up the mountain from the south, which way is easier!"
Since his parents passed away, his brother has become his only support.
Naturally, my brother cherished his life even more. He promised A Ping more than once that he would pay close attention to safety and grow up with A Ping.
"How about we go up the mountain to find your brother, okay?"
Although he is injured and weak, sitting here and waiting seems to be no solution!
"good!"
As soon as Duan Qingyao suggested it, Ah Ping immediately agreed.
"But sister, can you do it?"
My sister was covered in injuries, walked with a limp, and couldn't even sit down. How could she go up the mountain?
"Don't forget, my sister is a miracle doctor. She applied so many herbal medicines at noon and the pain is gone!"
In order to prove that she was really well, Duan Qingyao forced a smile, raised her arms, and looked like a bodybuilder.
Without further ado, Duan Qingyao prepared some necessary tools, held a torch, and led A Ping towards the mountain.
"Brother! Where are you? We are coming to find you!"
