Chapter 18 Vicious Catching Insects
As the Qin father and son expected, when they had breakfast and went to work in the field, they encountered several villagers on the way asking about the strange things that Hu and others had encountered last night.
Mr. Qin showed a deep pain and was extremely upset: "If I had known this, I wouldn't have let them enter the door yesterday, and maybe there would be no future."
This is not just a false statement. Although I don’t like the Hu family, the two families have no deep hatred. Now that Hu is stung by a hornet, he is almost dying. No matter how hard Mr. Qin is, he can’t say anything gloating.
Seeing this, the villagers comforted him: "Oh, this is all fate, it has nothing to do with your family."
Mr. Qin sighed and pointed at Qin Chuan and said, "After learning about this in the morning, this kid was frightened and refused to go out, for fear of falling hornets on his head and stepping on snakes under his feet."
Qin Chuan: “…”
Dad, I was scared, and I was afraid of encountering the unlucky things you said, but is it really good that you just said it so loudly? I don’t want to be faced!
Why don’t you tell me about your elder brother? Could it be that your elder brother is your biological child and I was picked up by you?
Qin Chuan complained wildly, but he had to pretend to be afraid. If he didn't sing this with the old man, he would be scolded again when he turned around.
Qin Shan didn't have this tacit understanding. He thought that his younger brother was still scared, so he patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder and comforted him seriously: "Don't be afraid, you're not going to be a big deal at first glance. Even if there is really something, there is still dad and me in front of you."
Qin Chuan: “…”
I was speechless again.
The father and son sang together like this, and the few people wanted to ask for something, whether to avoid the Qin family's villagers suddenly felt that there was no need for this.
I didn't see that I was scared and didn't gloat about the Hu people, which means that they have no bad intentions and don't have to worry about the troubles that will bring to the family when they interact with them.
Besides, they have no evil intentions towards the Qin family. Even if the Qin family ancestors appeared last night, it would be impossible to punish them just by arresting someone, right? Didn’t they have everything done well before?
After figuring this out, the villagers lost their cautiousness and their attitude towards the Qin family became the same as before.
Mr. Qin was a mature man and easily noticed their changes. He felt relieved and decided to praise his two stupid sons when there was no one later.
He doesn't care what outsiders think, but it's better not to be regarded as a plague god.
...
Today, Old Mrs. Miao was still left at home. She is a diligent person. After washing the dishes and chopsticks, she was about to take the dirty clothes that the whole family had replaced to the pond to wash.
The Qin family does not have a well, so you have to use water to carry it in a nearby pond for daily use. It is too consuming water to wash clothes, so it is cheaper to carry it home instead of washing it at the pond.
There were a lot of dirty clothes, and it took a lot of time to wash them all. Old Mrs. Miao kept her eldest son's advice in mind and did not dare to leave her granddaughter alone in the room. So she found a large carriage basket, put a layer of dry straw in it, and put a few old clothes on it, and put the granddaughter in it.
When Zhao Xiuxiu saw this scene, she hurriedly leaned over and said, "Uncle, let me go with you. You are washing clothes by the water. I'm just watching Sister Xiaoxiao."
There are so many worms in this season. It is not uncommon for such a small baby to penetrate into the ears and nostrils by ants and many worms, right?
Zhao Xiuxiu touched the wound on her face that had not yet been scabbed, looked down at Qin Xiaoxiao in the basket, full of malicious thoughts.
Qin Xiaoxiao had just been fed by her mother, and was now squinting her eyes and napping, without any reaction to the uneasy and kind-hearted Zhao Xiuxiu standing in front of her.
Old Mrs. Miao couldn't see Zhao Xiuxiu's expression, and thought she had no grudges about her granddaughter, so she felt very relieved, but she still advised: "Xiaoxiu, you are a good sister, but your face cannot be sunbathed, and your uncle cannot let you go."
Zhao Xiuxiu raised her head and said anxiously: "Uncle, I'm not afraid. I will wear a straw hat and prevent the sun from sank my face."
After Zhao Xiuxiu's strong plea, Old Lady Miao finally failed to persuade her, so she had to find her a straw hat and cover her with a sweat towel, so she took her out with confidence.
Old Mrs. Miao was walking in front with a bucket of dirty clothes in her left hand and a large carriage in her right hand. Zhao Xiuxiu followed closely with a pony tie.
When she arrived by the pond, Old Lady Miao placed the big basket on a stone slab under the big tree, and asked Zhao Xiuxiu to sit on the side and wait, and told her not to get close to the pond, so as not to slip into the water accidentally.
Zhao Xiuxiu responded one by one, sat down and waited honestly.
There is a large water port beside the pond. This water port was specially paved by villagers to facilitate water withdrawal and use. After years of wind and rain, the rocks have already become smooth, and it is very clean and convenient to wash clothes on it. There is no need to worry about the mud and water splashing shoes while washing.
Old Mrs. Miao was washing her clothes with difficulty and looked up at the two children under the big tree from time to time. Seeing that Zhao Xiuxiu had been guarding her little granddaughter, the little granddaughter did not cry, she thought that both of them were trouble-free children, so she accelerated the speed of washing and wanted to go back early after washing.
In this way, I didn't look under the big tree frequently like before.
Zhao Xiuxiu seized the opportunity and kept looking in the grass, trying to find a few big ants. But she didn't know if the place was wrong or she was unlucky. Not to mention the big ants, she didn't even see one of the little ants, which was so clean that it was unbelievable.
Zhao Xiuxiu didn't believe in evil, so she ran out of the shade of the tree, but found nothing.
"How is it possible? How can there be no ants here?"
She stared at the ground in disbelief, wishing she could stare through it. There was a big ant crawling into the yard of her home from time to time, so why was there no more when she got outside?
Unable to find the big ant, Zhao Xiuxiu still refused to give up and started to find the multi-legged insects. Before he knew it, he stayed away from the pond and came to a wet and dense grass.
What surprised her was that there were many worms crawling around on the ground. She quickly untied the sweat towel covered with her face, picked up a dead grass branch and picked up a bunch of worms to wrap it into the sweat towel.
The multi-legged insect looks nauseous and looks a bit like a centipede, but it is much smaller than a centipede and is not toxic. However, if it penetrates the nostrils or ears, it will definitely cause irreversible damage to the nose and ears.
