Chapter 41: I am a fortune teller 04

At the next morning, after the boy went out, Yush went out of the small hole again and followed him not too far away.
Going westward from the cabin for about a quarter of an hour, more doors can be seen. Many villagers are cleaning the snow in front of the door with broomsticks.
Going all the way down, you can see some stalls and shops on both sides of the road, and there are shouts and sales. This is the small market in the village.
You Xu saw him walking over, guessing that he was going to do something in the market, she stopped following, and instead looked at the small frozen lake yesterday. No one came to fish, she took a closer look. Once on the ice, there was no breach, so I sighed regretfully and went to the market to see what the boy was doing.
There are quite a lot of people in the small market, which is a bit lively. There are men selling candied haws, masters making clay figurines, cloth shops and wine shops and so on.
Yush couldn't walk on the ground well in crowded places, and her sight was blocked again. When she reached a place with a little less people, she jumped on the wooden fence, looked around, and found the boy.
The distance is not too far, she can see him gesticulating with a man who sells wontons, probably because he wants to do miscellaneous work, no money, just a bowl of wontons a day, the man who looks quite honest is a bit embarrassed, and finally waved. Rejected him.
As soon as he came out of the wonton stall, he saw an old lady holding a wooden basin with clothes and a mallet on it. It was obvious that she was going to wash her clothes. The boy stopped her, probably because she wanted to help her wash her food, change her food, etc. But the aunt was impatient, turned and walked away.
Although the village is not large, there are not too few people. Everyone in the village knows him, and when they see him, they will bypass him subconsciously, accompanied by gaze and words from time to time.
The boy seemed to be used to it, and there was no reaction at all.
Yush looked very inexplicable, what happened, a 10-year-old kid is worthy of such a taboo?
She jumped off the wooden fence, trying to walk towards him, passing by the two girls, she heard their whispering conversation.
The girl in the gray skirt said, "Eh? Isn't that Li Yier? I haven't seen him for more than a month. I thought he had left the village. Didn't he come to the market for a long time? Why did he come again?"
Another girl said: "Why leave the village? My brother saw him swinging on the mountain a few days ago."
"His father and mother died early, Tian was sold, and his family was also sold. His only sister dragged him until he was ten years old. He is almost thirteen now. It is not easy."
"You are so sympathetic, can't you help him?"
"My dad said that he has a scorn on his body, he is against close people, and he is unlucky for others. I dare not go. My dad knew that he was going to scold me to death."
You Xu almost laughed, and the three became tigers. Such remote villages in ancient times especially believed in the theory of ghosts and gods and the law of fate. When everyone believed in a certain idea, it would become the so-called fact and truth.
She didn't bother to listen any more. Seeing Li Yier passing by a bun shop with a lot of customers, she just thought about going there when she saw a boy running by him and stuffing something into his hand.
You Xu didn't react for a moment, only that the boy who ran over was familiar.
The next moment, a sneer and scolding sounded: "Oh, freak, I haven't seen you in a few days, you still dare to come to the market, don't you have enough lessons last time, and now dare to come and steal things?"
When You Xu saw a group of large and small boys appearing behind Li Yier, he immediately remembered the group of people who bullied him at Li Yier's house last time, and the boy who had just ran over with them.
This method of planting and framing is extremely naive and clumsy.
The leader was a little fat boy. He kicked Li Yier and Li Yier rolled to the ground, protecting what was in his hands.
"Tell you not to come in the future, so that you can understand people?"
"You dare to steal things, you stole a few buns, and you don't want to hand them over."
"I said I met once and hit once."
A fist and kick fell on him, and he had no resistance and could only shrink to the ground.
The noise was not small. Many eyes were turned away. Maybe some people know that Li Yier did not steal the buns, but no one came forward to stop him. However, Li Yier has not spoken to anyone for a long time, and his language function is somewhat impeded. Can't argue for himself.
Of course, the most important point is that those people who see him have no father or mother, no one to rely on, are weak to be deceived.
And they also got the bun that Li Yier couldn't let go of. Anyway, he was going to be beaten and scolded. It's better to be patient and stutter...
You Xu was about to get mad, and rushed forward regardless, and while the young man in the lead was bent over and punched Li Yier in the head, she jumped up and grabbed his eye with a paw.
"Ah—" the boy yelled, covering one eye, "fuck, where's the wild cat, kill this beast."
The man wanted to reach out to grab her, and Yu Xu bypassed him, and took advantage of his small and flexible body to grab and bite all the people who had beaten Li Yier.
"Damn it!"
"My hands are bleeding."
These people were all annoyed by her, they turned their attention, picked up the stone and wooden sticks on the ground, and smashed them. Yux ran away and saw them chasing, before continuing to run.
Li Yier raised his head in a daze, looking at the direction they disappeared. Under the malicious beating and scolding, he felt defended for the first time. It came from a kitten.
A place in my heart collapsed instantly.
Since his last relative passed away, he has never shed tears, his eyes are red.

You Xu got rid of those people easily, and went back to the original place to take a look. He didn't see Li Yier, and he was a little relieved. Fortunately, he was not that stupid, and he was still waiting.
She wandered around and made sure that Li Yier had left, so she also left this small market.
On the small road outside the bazaar, in the silver-clad world, he stood there quietly, looking too thin, not like a child who was almost thirteen years old.
Li Yier's eyes were full of anxiety. When he saw the gray-brown kitten walking step by step, his eyes lighted up, and he hurriedly walked over to pick her up, checked her body carefully, and was relieved to make sure that she was not injured.
He hugged her in his arms, touched the hair on her back, put her in the placket, raised his hand to shield her from the wind with the jacket, and then walked towards home.
Yush pressed against his chest quietly, hearing his quick heartbeat and the creak of thick snow under his feet.
After walking out for a long time, Yush heard his chest vibrating, trying to make a sound.
"No need...you are young, be careful...far...run."
The difficult and vague words were mixed with a light and shallow breath.
Yush guessed that he asked her to leave him alone in the future, be careful, stay away, and not get hurt.
She felt warm and nudged his chest.
All the way home, Li Yier did not put her down. He took out the bun. The bun was squashed, with black footprints on it, and a lot of dust on the ground.
He shook the bun, took a few more shots, then peeled off the dirty skin and eaten it, and handed her the clean part.
Yush shook his head and pushed his head back.
He touched the steamed bun with longing in his eyes, but he didn't eat it, and a fire started again, and an iron bowl filled with ice and snow was placed on the shelf.
Then the water boiled, he put the buns in, boiled the buns with water, and then put them aside to cool down. When the temperature was just right, he handed them to You Xu.
Yuxu understood now. He felt that the buns were cold and hard, and it was inconvenient for her to eat as a kitten, so he boiled them hot and softened them to her.
He lowered his eyes and looked at her gently.
A feeling of swelling and sour enveloping his mind, Yushbi stroked, motioning him to drink at least half of it.
Li Yier understood, so he drank half of it, and then handed it back to her. He lowered his eyelashes and stroked the hair on her back gently.
Yush lowered his head and licked the contents of the bowl.

For the next half month, humans and cats depended on each other.
After You Xu's guidance, Li Yier made two holes on the ice lake. You Xu squatted to fish. Li Yier fished with a simple homemade hook. Sometimes they would get one or two harvests. Good luck. Sometimes there will be three or four, and sometimes nothing is obtained.
Except for fishing, Li Yier rarely takes her out, but will not restrict her access because she knows she will come back.
When he is not fishing, he will go to the mountains to get food, sometimes he can catch some birds and dig some yam.
Although I often feel hungry, there is no time to become hungry.
One cat and one person lived very reluctantly, but the cabin was no longer dead, but had temperature.
......
The skin of the melon seeds in my mind fell into a small pile, and You Xu couldn't bear it: "Don't knock the melon seeds in my mind. It will make a crisp sound."
Qiba cocked Erlang's legs and ignored her at all.
There is a kind of contrast called injury, where she staged an existential crisis here, and it is laid back and comfortable on the other side, which is unreasonable.
"Did we make a mistake about our target?" Yush was suspicious.
Seven or eight: "How to say?"
"Don't you think the name of the target of this task is very random," Yu Xu was extremely suspicious. "Any cannon fodder runner's name is better than this. Even if it is you, it is called a lucky number anyway."
"..." It felt insulted.
Qiba said: "His parents are farmers and they don't know a few words, so you don't need to take the last name. His name is the date of birth."
You Xu was stunned. On January or February, the second day of the first lunar month, it happened to be the day when Li Yier went to the street and was framed for stealing buns. After he came back, he did not show the slightest expectation or resentment. He just drank the bowl with her soft eyes. Steamed buns.
Today, Li Yier went out again. He should have gone to the mountain to get some food. By the way, he looked for something to use as bait.
You Xu also went out and went to the bazaar. She wanted to find something to give to Li Yier.
The bazaar is more lively than in the past, and the number of people buying and selling has obviously increased. Because the New Year is approaching, many shops hang out paper-cuts, couplets, red lanterns and the like, making it a festive glow.
"How much does this red paper sell?"
"Hey, the price of meat has risen a lot, and the vegetables have also gone up by two cents."
"Madam, I'll buy more, not cheaper, I will come to you next time."
"How is your house?"
"Just cleaned up, and I am preparing to paste the couplet."
You Xu walked around with legs like wooden pillars, and thought of the grey-lacquered cabins. There was no bright color at all, and the New Year was about to come. In ancient times, it was very particular about this, it is better... .
She wandered back and forth at the shop selling red paper couplets. At the very top, an old man wrote couplets on the spot. The writing was vigorous and powerful, and it was very beautiful. Many people gathered around to watch.
Yush squeezed into the shop from the gap between the feet of the person and sneaked under the wooden table. She picked a red piece of paper that was bigger than her palm.
After interpreting the surrounding words, it was probably because the old man was admitted as a scholar when he was young, and he was quite famous in the village, so he wrote the couplet and got everyone's attention and praise.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Yu Xu secretly dipped a little ink with his paw, and drew a very squishy letter on red paper, with a cat paw print accidentally printed on it, and she rubbed it with another clean paw , Can't get rid of it, so I had to give up.
"Huh? Why is there a cat down here."
Someone had already noticed her, and Yush had to give up the idea of ​​rewriting and jumped out with the red paper in his mouth.
You Xu ran home. Li Yier was sorting out the bamboo strips he got back, and wanted to use it to make a basket or something.
As soon as she appeared, he immediately noticed her and stopped what he was doing.
Youxu handed the red paper in his mouth, and Li Yier took it knowingly. There was a blessing written on an irregularly shaped red paper with a cat paw print on it.
He drooped his eyelids, making people unable to see his emotions. In addition, after watching for a long time, Yuxu suspected that he had made a mistake. But the blessings all over the street were all these signs. Li Yier should be familiar with it even if he could not read This word is right.
Yush leaned close to his feet and saw his slightly wet eyes, bright and clean, as if they had fallen into moonlight.
"Meow--" Yu Xu yelled, lifted his ink-colored paws, and stuck out his tongue at him.
Li Yier looked back and saw that a lot of the hair on her body was stuck with ink, and the white hair on her tongue and mouth was stained with red on the red paper, which looked funny and cute.
His eyebrows stretched out, and the corners of his lips curled up.
Yuxu was stunned. This was the first time she saw him smile. The smile was warm and pure, as if a box of glass was shining slightly by the sun.
Even if this box of glass was buried in the sky, even if they had many cracks.
She also hopes that they will always be illuminated.
The author has something to say: Sorry for the late bird, Kavin didn't write many words today.
Zai Zai will grow up tomorrow, and no one will bully him anymore, only he can bully others.
Li Yier's face was indifferent: "Is that why I am called this name?"
The author laughed: "You are my first male protagonist with a three-character name. Fortunately, boy!!!"
Li Yier: "...oh."
