Chapter Twenty-Three: I Am the Successor of Socialism, and I Know Youkai

The colors of the evening are always so beautiful, with the golden trim of the sunset, the white of the smoke, the green base of the mountain forest, and a yellow dog lying on the white lion to sleep.

Stretching his waist and rolling half a circle on the back of the stone lion, Ah Le woke up.

I slept very comfortably in the afternoon, there was no little chubby, and no one picked her up as a dead dog. The stone under him can still feel a little temperature, and there are many things that make the dog happy in his dreams: braised pork, stewed pork ribs, fried tofu and boiled sweet potatoes take turns to eat all-you-can-eat, Apu rides himself in the mountains, and the little chubby dun is honestly not bothering her at home, and Ah Le feels that everything is so beautiful.

It's so comfortable to sleep, especially if you have a sweet dream, you can sleep until you wake up naturally.

Ah Le stood up and stretched back and forth, and the well-rested organs in his body began to emerge again, and his spirit was also very energetic. Anyone who has just slept and woken up has felt this way, full of vitality, clear and energetic.

It's not early, you can go back to Apu and wait for dinner, there is still half a pot of pork ribs left at noon, and Ah Le plans to mix it with rice and eat it up in the evening.

But before going back, Ah Le still has one more thing to do, that is, to see where the little chubby dun Zhang Xiaoming has gone.

Taking care of Zhang Xiaoming is the job he has been arranged, and he has already received the remuneration in advance. Most of the family's meat, sweet fruits, and snacks are sent by his family, so he has to take care of him.

Ah Le squatted and looked left and right, there was nothing nearby. Then he raised his hind paws and scratched his neck, opened the map to check the location of the little chubby dun'er. After collecting information on this map, as long as there is nothing new, it will automatically fade and hide, and when needed, Ah Le will open it directly and appear.

Ah Le left a mark on Zhang Xiaoming's body, and this mark will show a special triangular frame on Zhang Xiaoming's location on the map, which is obvious.

After opening the map, Ah Le found that Zhang Xiaoming was now in the west of the village, near the vegetable field. The light point of display flickered on and off, and she felt that something was going to happen to this little chubby dun, and she had to hurry up and take a look.

Zhang Xiaoming's condition is a bit bad, and he is now asleep in an abandoned carbon kiln on the edge of the vegetable field in the west of the village.

In the early years, the mountain also allowed trees to be cut down, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft water, and many people in the village built their own carbon kilns, burned charcoal and pulled out to sell. Later, the protection of the environment was prevented, so the large and small carbon kilns were abandoned, and there were several such abandoned kilns near the western vegetable field.

In the afternoon, Zhang Xiaoming looked for a circle of Ah Le, and he was not very anxious, but he habitually wanted to follow, and there was a "dog brother" who was not panicked.

After looking for a few places that Ah Le frequented and found no trace, Zhang Xiaoming came to the west of the village.

There is a large vegetable field here, and there are a few paths into the mountains, Ah Le has brought Zhang Xiaoming to come a lot of times, sometimes he brought Zhang Xiaoming over to pick vegetables, sometimes he asked him to wait at the intersection, and he went into the mountains to catch fish and rabbits, so he is familiar here.

After a brief stroll around and picking a few cucumbers, Zhang Xiaoming sat on the ridge at the intersection and waited.

There is no place in the field, it may be that the "dog brother" has entered the mountain, and he will definitely not dare to go in alone, or he is honestly waiting for safety here. Brother Dog may be back in a moment, maybe with a rabbit or fish in his mouth.

The rabbit is good, wild in the mountains, the fish is even better, sometimes it is a strange fish that has not been seen, only eaten a few times in Apu's house, the taste is incomparably delicious, the soup is even more irresistible after the braised and sweet and sour soup, and the soup can have a few more bowls of rice.

Thinking about the deliciousness in his heart, gnawing on the cucumber in his mouth, Zhang Xiaoming's face became even rounder, and the little chubby dun with a round face grinning was very cute.

After gnawing five or six cucumbers in the aftertaste, Ah Le still didn't come back, and his butt was a little uncomfortable after sitting on the ground for a long time, Zhang Xiaoming stood up and patted his butt and wanted to go around the vegetable field again, last time he found a white melon on the slope, and the people in the village called this thing "Pumpkin".

"Pumpkin" is an oval white round melon after ripening, there is a round scar like a navel eye on the buttocks, it is very fragrant and sweet, it can be broken and the seeds inside can be eaten directly, the more ripe the flesh is, the more noodles are sweeter.

The "pumpkin" I saw last time was not very ripe, half green and half white, Zhang Xiaoming didn't pick it, and now more than ten days have passed, it is estimated that it is almost there, and he wants to see it. The things grown in the village, some people are thirsty and hungry and pick a little to eat, no one will say anything, as long as it is not wasted and wasted, it will be fine.

Following his memory, Zhang Xiaoming quickly found the location where the pumpkin grows, on a barren slope in the southwest corner of the vegetable field.

The barren slope has not been completely reclaimed, and there are several raised dirt bales scattered on it, and some melons and fruits have been planted on the slightly flat areas.

The pumpkin that Zhang Xiaoming was looking for was clinging to one of the dirt bags, and in the middle of the green leaves, you could see ripe white looming in it.

[Ha, good luck, pick a few pads to cushion your stomach first, and wait while eating. 】

Zhang Xiaoming, who was happy, began to pick melons, he had experience, and chose pure white, medium size, not too big, too big and not sweet.

Seeing a ripe pumpkin growing on the top of the soil bag, Zhang Xiaoming stepped forward, intending to pull it down, but he didn't expect his feet to be empty, and with a "poof", he fell into a black hole hidden by grass and melon vines.

Zhang Xiaoming, who had not fallen lightly, lay on his back at the bottom of the cave with Venus in his eyes, and it took a while to recover his breath and squint his eyes to look at it.

It is an arched cave made of adobe bricks, and there is a hole in it, which is blocked by blades of grass and vines of melons and fruits, and there is some light leaking from the gaps, from which Zhang Xiaoming fell.

In the faint light, Zhang Xiaoming began to observe the environment here.

The cave has been abandoned for a long time, and the ground is full of dead branches and leaves, but thanks to these things, Zhang Xiaoming fell from the hole more than two meters high and was not broken.

There are no other stepping things on the ground, and there is no gap in the arched cave wall that can be climbed, but there is a semicircular passage in the bottom corner, but it is also blocked by bricks.

The distance from the bottom of the cave to the mouth of the cave could not be climbed without help from his small body.

Fortunately, there was no stagnant water and poisonous insects, which made Zhang Xiaoming feel a little lucky. At present, he has no choice but to wait for others to find out.

Who will come to his rescue?

The first thing that pops up in my mind is Brother Dog, Brother Dog, who is much more powerful than adults, will definitely be the first to find out about this place and rescue him.

The second one to appear is Apu, Wen Jing's always smiling young lady is very gentle, very careful, more like a mother than her mother, if he is gone, there are still people in the village who care about him, Zhang Xiaoming feels that person must be Apu, Brother Dog and grandparents can't compare.

Then there are grandparents, Zhang Xiaoming, they are not close to themselves, they always treat themselves very harshly, this is not allowed, that is not allowed, and they always treat him as an ignorant child.

Thinking about it, Zhang Xiaoming also calmed down, he wanted to move after lying down for a long time, he couldn't wait passively, he had to take the initiative. At the very least, call a few times, if you're lucky, someone passing by and hearing it, won't you go out?

Thinking like this, Zhang Xiaoming began to call "help".

"Help. ”

"Help~"

"Is there anyone, come and save me......"

"There's a great scientist here, hurry up and save someone, if you die, the loss will be great!!"

"Help............"

"I am the future of the motherland, why is no one coming to save me......"

"I have contributed to the motherland, I reported, I found a monster~"

"It's okay to have a monster, my eldest brother is a demon king, thank you for saving me~"

The circular life-saving sound became melodious with the unfolding of the brain hole, which made people admire the imagination of this bear child.

With his back against the kiln wall, Zhang Xiaoming continued to spread his mind and make a voice calling for help. But there was no one, no dogs, and no monsters came to save him from the predicament, and gradually, the voice stopped, and he shouted that he was tired and wanted to take a breath and rest.

Calling for help must be strategic, not shouting indiscriminately, reserving physical strength, opening your ears wide, and shouting for help when you find the situation.

[It's a pity, it would be nice if you pulled the pumpkin off when it fell, I really want to eat the melon.] The melon vine is also fine, maybe you can climb up by dragging the vine. 】

Zhang Xiaoming, whose body was resting and his brain was active again, continued to think wildly.

[If no one finds out, will I die here...... After many years, I was found to have bones left, or I should leave a name?

[Will the dog brother miss me? Probably not, it doesn't seem to like me very much, I'm dead, and it's uncomfortable for a long time at most. 】

[Sister Apu will definitely be sad for me, and I can't bear her...... Woo, woo, woo, I really want to eat the braised pork ribs made by Sister Apu, eat it alone, if I don't give it to Brother Dog, I'm going to die......]

[Grandparents, Mom and Dad should miss me, but I must ignore them, whoever makes them ignore me, I will go back and scare them when I die, unless I promise to leave me alone in the future......]

Slowly, the imagination in his mind became blurred, and the frightened and tired Zhang Xiaoming came to his heart, fell asleep, and occasionally muttered a few words from his mouth, which should be the last sustenance.
