Chapter 0308: Human Nature and Animal Nature
I glanced at a tabby snake that was constantly twitching and curling, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, accidentally killed a non-venomous snake?
But soon, I frowned again, thinking that there were still many poisonous snakes and beasts lurking in the grass and dense forests in this big mountain, and Zhou Xiaoyuan was just a little girl less than six years old.
No way!
She must be found!
Otherwise, the conscience will be at ease.
I picked up the tabby snake that was not yet dead, and then just turned around, only to feel a burst of grass branches behind me, and suddenly a black shadow 'whirred' over, and the snake clip in my hand almost gestured and smashed out!
"Damn, you're scared me to death!" I stared at Zhou Xiaoquan, who was panting like a cow and returning in front of me, crying and laughing, "What about Mr. Liu? Why did you run back again?"
The black shadow is Zhou Xiaoquan!
Zhou Xiaoquan ran sweating profusely, panting, staring at me with red eyes and crying: "I sent Teacher Liu to our snake catcher and came back......"
"Why?" I asked, frowning.
Zhou Xiaoquan wiped a handful of red eyes, lowered his head and choked his voice: "I want to continue looking for my sister with you." If my mom comes and doesn't see me with my sister, she'll beat me to death......"
This kid even shed tears when he said it, but his behavior made my heart warm, and I couldn't help but sigh. patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "Don't worry! We didn't go far, Xiaoyuan probably just accidentally walked a fork, I have to find her all over this mountain, you follow me ......"
"Wait a minute, Mr. Lin. Zhou Xiaoquan suddenly bent down, and grabbed the long grass around him with his hands, all of which were torn off.
I watched his movements. Puzzled, he asked, "What are you doing here?"
Zhou Xiaoquan raised his face sweatily and glanced at me, and then tied up his feet with the broken grass branches in front of me, wrapped them in circles, like wrapping them in a walking cloth.
"I heard from the old people in the village that if you are afraid of snakes when you go up the mountain, you can use this method to wrap all the parts below the knee with grass, snakes do not bite the grass, the smell of grass is too strong, and it will cover up the smell of people!"
I was stunned for a moment, and then I realized that it was the soil wisdom of the people in the village. So he also followed Zhou Xiaoquan's movements, pulled a bunch of long grass around him, and then wrapped all the grass around his ankles!
After a while, I took Zhou Xiaoquan through the mountains to look for it again in other directions.
"Xiaoquan, are you afraid of your mother?
We shouted the name of 'Zhou Xiaoyuan' from time to time, and when I stopped, I took the time to ask, because when I heard Zhou Xiaoquan say that his mother would beat him to death, I was inexplicably touched!
Zhou Xiaoquan's eyes were red, and he shook his head and choked up: "My mother is not fierce, she rarely beats me." She only sheds tears, every time I do something wrong, I shed tears and blame myself, blame my father for dying early, only once, I took my sister to play in the water by the pond, she beat harder, saying that if I don't take good care of my sister, she won't worry about her death in the future, I'm afraid of her ............"
He couldn't go on, his voice was choked!
I felt like I had pressed a stone in my heart, and I smiled wryly and sighed, "Then can you tell the teacher what happened to your father?"
