When the boy saw her turning away, he started playing with the Fang children. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end nothing came out.

This was the first time in his life that someone invited him to play, and he himself declined the invitation, but he felt inexplicably empty.

The boy slowly clenched his hands and watched Shen Yuxiu playing happily with the Fang family's children. He never looked at himself again before turning back and walking out step by step.

He felt that the little girl smiled so happily and her laughter sounded so good that the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously, and he felt an unprecedented joy in his heart.

Fang Youshun did not stay here for long. He went to the ancestral grave that afternoon and left early the next morning with Grandma Fang and Shen Yuxiu.

After all, food is in short supply now. If they stay here for an extra half day, they will have to eat an extra meal. Of course, they should save as much as they can.

On the way back, Shen Yuxiu felt that the day was so hot that it was like a fire. Even when Grandma Fang kept fanning her, she felt that the wind was still hot. She wiped the fine beads of sweat on her face with her sleeves.

It dried in a short time and formed a series of salt and alkali marks on the sleeves of the clothes.

Shen Yuxiu lay limply in the carriage, looking up at the roof of the car, letting Grandma Fang fan her slowly, without any energy at all.

There was no water in their water bottles today. Her mouth was dry and sticky, and she desperately wanted to drink some water.

But when she thought about the people begging for food she met along the way, she felt that she was in a state of bliss and didn't know how to be blessed. In the end, she just lay there wilting and said nothing.

Fortunately, this time did not last long. Fang Youshun quickly took the couple into the mountains, found a small river, and replenished enough water.

Shen Yuxiu drank enough water and stood barefoot by the river, letting the clear water flow past her feet. She suddenly felt like she was alive.

Fang Youshun saw her contented look standing in the water, so he didn't urge her and let her play here until she had enough before leaving.

However, looking at the surrounding environment, Fang Youshun's heart felt heavy.

Although the scenery here is much better than in the south, with green mountains and green grass visible, it is completely different from what I remember.

You must know that the amount of water in the small river in front of him is less than a quarter of what he remembered. And although the vegetation on the mountain looks lush and green from a distance, in fact it is wilting and lifeless.

Obviously, although it looks okay here, it is also suffering from drought.

After replenishing the water source, the three of them dug wild vegetables all the way to a small town, where they replenished some coarse grains and continued walking.

Of course, they were not simply on the road. Whenever they encountered a lush field of wild vegetables, they would not let it go. In this way, Shen Yuxiu went from knowing only a few wild vegetables to becoming a treasure trove of them.

More and more sophisticated.

Since they were not in a hurry, the journey of the three of them became leisurely again. They encountered wild ditches on the road, and the river would start catching fish again. Shen Yuxiu finally felt the joy of going out again.

So when passing by a small village that day, when Fang Youshun went to the village well to refill water, Shen Yuxiu saw a black boy playing with stone fruit on the street, and went down to talk to him with great interest.

"This fruit of yours is really beautiful, what are you made of?" Shen Yuxiu looked at the dark but smooth fruit in the child's hand with envy in her eyes.

This was much prettier than her hidden pebbles and Guoguo, and since she hid the Guoguo in fear of being discovered by Shen Yuling, she had no more Guoguo to play with.

The black boy didn't know whether he didn't understand her words or what, but when he saw Shen Yuxiu looking at the fruit in his hand with envy, and then looking at Grandma Fang who was standing in front of the tricycle, he didn't speak for a long time.

Seeing that he remained silent, Shen Yuxiu thought that he didn't want to talk to her. Just as he was about to leave, she suddenly heard the child ask in a dialect that she could barely understand: "Do you want Guoguo? Two.

One, no, I’ll give you one steamed bun.”

Shen Yuxiu was slightly startled. She was just bored waiting in the car. She saw that the fruit in his hand looked good and came to talk to her. She had no intention of wanting his fruit.

Seeing that she was silent, the black boy thought he wanted more, and said anxiously: "If you don't want mine, I can take you to buy it. There are many beautiful stones in our mountains, green and black.

There are also cyan ones. You can buy stones to make whatever kind of fruit you want. You can make whatever you want, our team sells them."

After he finished speaking eagerly, he carefully extended two fingers to Shen Yuxiu and said, "Two Wotou, as long as you have two Wotou, I will lead the way for you."

Shen Yuxiu was dumbfounded. They were different from each other. Although they were all from the same province, their dialects were very different. If this black boy spoke slower, she would be able to understand it more or less. But what this child said

It was so fast that when it reached her ears, she couldn't understand a word except gibbering.

Seeing her, Black Boy frowned in confusion, thinking that she was unwilling. He anxiously pressed down his finger and said, "I will take you there for just one, no, half a nest. Those stones are really beautiful. Not only can they be made

Guoguo can also be used to make buttons and pendants, which is really useful. I’m not going to lie.”

Afraid that Shen Yuxiu would leave, the child kept talking faster and faster. Shen Yuxiu became more and more confused as he listened, and had no idea what he said.

Fang Youshun came back from fetching water and heard Hei Zi's last words. He immediately became happy and asked Shen Yuxiu with a smile: "Xiaoxiu, do you want Guoguo?"

"No." Shen Yuxiu was asked and waved her hands repeatedly: "I just saw that the fruit in his hand looked pretty, so I didn't want it."

She is a good girl, she would want something from other people when she sees it.

After saying that, she glared at the black child with displeasure.

After arguing for a long time, does he think he wants his Hei Guoguo? How could she be so shameless?

Fang Youshun knew she had misunderstood as soon as he saw her little appearance, so he explained to her in a funny way: "This kid said they have beautiful stones for sale in their team. If you like them, just give him a nest and he will take us there."

Buy stones, and then you can have as many fruits as you want."

"Ah?" Shen Yuxiu was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little embarrassed because she misunderstood the black boy.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." Shen Yuxiu happily admitted her mistake to Hei Zizi, and asked him curiously: "Do you really have a lot of beautiful rocks in your team?"

"Yeah." The black guy barely understood her words, and for fear that she wouldn't believe it, he nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Grandpa, I want it." Upon hearing this, Shen Yuxiu immediately turned to look at Fang Youshun, eyes full of hope.

But then, she felt something was wrong. After all, the stone had to be bought with money. These days, she followed her grandma and grandpa everywhere. Knowing how difficult life was now, she suddenly felt that she wanted to buy a stone to make fruit. It was a bit too unreasonable.

Be sensible.
