Chapter 279: The Past Buried in My Heart
I really didn't expect that this fat cat was first-class in fishing. He could catch fish one fish after another from the river with his tail. In the end, he caught two buckets of fish in full, but he couldn't even fit it.
He brought a big carp for Zhang Manyin and asked Zhang Wenrong and others to send a few fish to their homes. Zhang Jiwang and his older family had a share. Everyone in the village was very happy.
When he returned to the gardening field, Zhang Wenrong seemed to be a little depressed when he saw Zhang Yaohua.
"Beghua, what's wrong? Aren't you still very happy just now?" Zhang Wenrong asked strangely. After thinking about it, Zhang Wenrong could not remember what happened to make Zhang Yaohua's mood change so much.
"It's okay." Zhang Yaohua shook her head.
Zhang Jiagen is not as careful as Zhang Wenrong. "Beggar may be hungry. When I go back, I will show you my hands. This catfish is used to braised. I will ensure that you can eat it and swallow it with your tongue."
"Wenrong, do you think Jinhu and the others' death have something to do with me?" Zhang Jiaohua asked suddenly. It has been almost a year since time passed. Although Zhang Jiaohua is only less than one year older, this experience is like a ripening agent, allowing a child who is a child of his age to act coquettishly with his parents to understand so much. He has begun to think about the experience buried deep in his memory.
"What does that have to do with you? Is it because of what that crazy woman Ma Jinxiu said today? Don't listen to her nonsense. She is an unreasonable woman. Jinhu and his parents have never blamed you. It's been so long since. They all want to forget such a sad thing. Ma Jinxiu is afraid that the world will not be in chaos. Don't be too careful. No one in the village blames you. You were also a child at that time. Besides, you fell asleep while herding cattle, and everyone in the village knows it." Zhang Wenrong said.
"But, how could Jinhu and the others drown? How could our children in Meizitang drown?" Zhang Yaohua murmured.
"This..." The villagers have talked about this question countless times. No one knows the answer. Zhang Wenrong naturally couldn't figure it out, "No matter what, you can't blame you. Forget it, don't think about it anymore. It has nothing to do with you after saying this."
Zhang Yaohua shook her head, "I'm afraid I'll have to bear this matter for the rest of my life."
Zhang Yaohua looked at the Golden Tigers who had been following him. The Golden Tigers still remained the same as when something happened last year. They were already shorter than Zhang Yaohua. Zhang Yaohua grew very fast this year and was as tall as a third or fourth grade student.
“Hmph…”
The mountain leopard squeezed to Zhang Beihua's side and kept rubbing Zhang Beihua's trouser legs with his head. It could actually feel Zhang Beihua's emotions and tried every means to make Zhang Beihua happy.
The fat cat also wanted to come over, but it wanted to please Zhang Yaohua and take credit by the way. It knew that its status was far less than that of the mountain leopard. The possibility of replacing the mountain leopard was almost zero. However, if you please the owner, you can at least be less bullied by the hateful dog in the future.
Before the fat cat could get closer, the mountain leopard immediately barked fiercely. The fat cat was so scared that it retreated repeatedly. The fat cat could only run to Zhang Hangao and meowed at the iron bucket.
"Fat Cat! You have made merit today. Come and reward you for eating a fish." Zhang Hangao picked up a dead crucian carp from it and threw it at the fat cat. The fat cat didn't dislike it. He quickly caught the fish and swallowed it in a few bites. There was no way, its belly was so big that it couldn't fill its belly at all.
"This fat cat eats a lot. You have to go fishing often in the future, otherwise the gardening ground will not raise you in vain." Zhang Jiagen also held an iron bucket in his hand, and found a newly dead crucian carp from it and threw it to the fat cat.
The fat cat is always there. Although it is fat, its movements are quite quick. The fish thrown by Zhang Hanggao and Zhang Jiagen were easily caught by the fat cat with its mouth.
Zhang Wenrong patted Zhang Yinghua's shoulder with his hands.
"I think of that pond in a few days and take a look." Zhang Yaohua suddenly said.
Zhang Wenrong was a little panicked. Although Zhang Yaohua was a child, she always talked about it in front of them and they had no way to refute it. But this matter really cannot be allowed to let Zhang Yaohua go. Who knows what would happen?
"Beihua, listen to me. The matter is over. Don't think of those unpleasant things again. Do you know? The pond is completely abandoned now. Five lives! Who dares to go to such a fierce place? We can listen to you in everything. You must not be willful in this matter." Zhang Wenrong said firmly. He knew that opposing Zhang Jiaohua's opinions would be very likely to make Zhang Jiaohua angry. He might drive him away from the gardening field. However, he would stop Zhang Jiaohua from doing this matter no matter what. He didn't know whether there was anything in that place. But what if there was a danger?
But Zhang Yaohua made up her mind, "Go back first."
Zhang Yaohua suddenly stopped talking about that matter, but instead made Zhang Wenrong even more uneasy.
"Beggar, I tell you that you really can't go there. Over the past year, no one in Meiziao dares to go there. Many people say that there has become a bad place. There will be dangers when you go there.
"Okay." Zhang Yaohua agreed unexpectedly.
It's strange that Liu Qiaoye, who was thousands of miles away, felt a little uneasy. He tossed and turned around at night and couldn't sleep.
"Wife, why haven't you fallen asleep yet?" Zhang Youping asked strangely.
"I don't know what's going on. I always feel a little uneasy. Isn't it because of the baby at home??" Liu Qiaoye sat up, his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat.
"Don't worry. The baby will not be in trouble. He is very clever. Sometimes, I can't stand the face of being a father. You said I have hands and feet. If I were to support the baby, where would I put this face?" Zhang Youping smiled bitterly.
"You just want to be face-saving. Isn't it just right for us to do it? Where can you be so unwilling to be better than you?" Liu Qiaoye gave the man a blank look.
"I don't want the baby to be better than us, but if I don't make a name for myself, I'm really embarrassed to go back to my hometown." Zhang Youping looked at the ceiling. Under the light of the street light outside, the ceiling projected the shape of trees.
"Go to sleep. You've been tired for a day. You have to go out to pull waste tomorrow." Liu Qiaoye leaned his body and hugged the man's arm hard.
The nights in big cities are not as quiet as Meiziao. From time to time, the roar of vehicles passing by is heard outside, and from time to time, the high beams of car headlights flash through the windows.
