Chapter IV: Complaints
Seeing that the sun was running to the west, Shu Shu loosened his shoulders and said with a smile: "Brother Yanli, don't worry about me. I'll be more careful when I'm fine, my father and mother should be back soon after going to the mountains, I'm going to prepare a meal, can you stay and eat together?"
Only then did Yan Li realize that a long time had passed, he shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to stay, it's just that it's getting late and I have to go home, otherwise my family will worry about me." If you make them worry about it, it won't be so easy to come out next time, you're busy, I'm going back. ”
Shu Shu knew very well that he lived on a hill not far from here, and he would always come over to see him whenever he found time. She nodded and said, "Okay, then you should be careful on the road." And ......"
"What else?" asked Yan Li, a little puzzled.
"And don't be caught, I heard that the fur of the red fox is even more precious, don't be caught, otherwise you may not even have a chance to escape...... You have to go home early. ”
Looking at Shu Zhu's worried face, his small mouth pouted and his dark eyes were full of tenderness, and he tapped the tip of her slightly upturned nose with his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, with my spiritual power, ordinary people can't catch me." Okay, I'm leaving. ”
Shu Shu breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and for some reason, in the past, he couldn't see half a hunter for ten days and half a month, but I don't know what's wrong recently, there are often hunters in this mountain, and sometimes I can meet two or three a day. If it weren't for this, the children would not have been tied up at home and not allowed to go out.
She kicked the small black bag that Glari had given her into her arms. This potato elf is not a fuel-efficient lamp, always bouncing around in her arms. She whispered angrily, "You'd better be honest with me, or I'll eat you!" and it fell silent.
Watching the back of the dead glass disappear into the depths of the forest, she was just about to turn around and go back to the house when she heard her father's voice say excitedly: "Shuzhu, why are you here?"
She turned around a little weakly and breathed a sigh of relief. Daddy is dressed in a dark blue Orion outfit with several black symbolized bags hanging from the belt around his waist. He carried a bow on his left shoulder and a quiver box on his back. The clean face has a slight stubble, and the high upright bun looks very energetic.
The old lady's gray Orion outfit wrapped the bumpy figure tightly. She had a simple twig stuck in her bun. The bamboo basket behind her was full of prey and wild vegetables. She could imagine that tonight's dinner would be very rich.
Her dad doesn't like to associate with Mourning Glass, saying that Mourning is a little fox with bad intentions, so every time Mourning Glass comes, they will quietly go out to play. Today's luck is quite good, and her father and mother came back as soon as she left.
"Daddy, you're back, how's your harvest today?"
The old lady looked at her with a frown, and her eyes seemed to be able to see through her careful thoughts in an instant. She unconsciously laughed twice and said, "Mother, come and I'll help you with your things, let's go, we're still very well-behaved today, nothing happened......"
After saying this, Shu Shu regretted it a little, isn't this a self-confession? She lowered her head and took the bamboo basket and walked into the house.
The old lady looked at her with a somewhat flustered look and asked the old lady next to her: "Do you say there is something wrong with this girl?" The old lady immediately nodded and said: "I think there are many ideas for this girl, so it will be clear to walk back to the house and ask Wei'er." ”
There are a lot of dried fruits hanging on the walls of the house, the tables and cabinets are all carved with exquisite patterns, Shu Wei's three sisters sat on a round stool around a round table and drank hot tea, and when they saw the old lady and father suddenly come back, they immediately got up and surrounded them.
"Dad!Mother, are you back?"
They took the food from their parents' hands and said excitedly: "My father's harvest is really big, and we can be regarded as having delicious food today." ”
Dad sat on the circle chair, looked at Shu Shu and said a little angrily: "Wei'er, you come over to me, I saw a black fog in the direction of our valley on the mountain today, and then it slowly dispersed, what is going on?"
Shu Wei bit her lip and immediately turned into a smile and said, "What kind of black fog? We didn't see it...... I guess it's going to rain soon, right? A smile froze on his face.
The old lady put down the food in her hand, walked over gently, and said a little angrily: "If it weren't for seeing such a big black fog in this valley, your father and I wouldn't have put down the prey that was about to arrive and rushed back, just because we were worried that your children would be in danger at home! Do you know? This hunter is everywhere now, and now it is very dangerous, do you know?"
Of the five children, only Shu Yu was laughing and playing by the bed, and the other four were all standing there looking at their father and mother a little nervously. They all know the reason for this, but they can't say that if they do, they won't have the opportunity to go out and play in the future. There was silence in the room.
After a while, Shu Xian's eyes flickered, she took a deep breath and walked up to the old lady and said, "Mother, I think there is something I still have to tell you." Sister, I think we have to tell my father and mother, otherwise what should we do if the man in black comes again?"
Shu Wei stepped back suddenly, she bowed her head helplessly and said, "Say it, I know that I can't hide this matter." ”
Shu Shu immediately walked over, took Shu Xian's hand and said, "Let me talk about it......
She lowered her head and told her father and mother all the things. Their faces became more and more ugly, and the old lady glared at the other three children and said, "You will each go to your own house, and call you when the meal is ready." Shu Shu stayed. ”
They all glanced at Shu Shu very worriedly, and left the house with Shu Yu in their arms. On weekdays, Shu Shu is a very happy sister, even if she is always bullied by a few of them at home, she wears the worst clothes and does the most work. But they never thought of complaining to their father, and now they all saw their father's expression and looked very angry, and they didn't know what kind of punishment Shu Shu would receive.
On weekdays, my father and mother love them very much, and I will leave them with any good ones. But if they make any mistakes, the father and the mother will be merciless when they punish people.
They were all lying on the window and watching everything in the house with some concern, and the old lady seemed to know what they were doing, and immediately came out and drove them back to her room.
Night fell, and the whole valley began to fall silent. Everyone seems to be waiting for the father and mother to suddenly call them to eat, which means that the matter has passed.
Shu Shu in the room looked at his father and mother with his head down, and said with some self-reproach: "I know that all this is because of me, all because I have too many tails, and even the man in black is starting to worry about it." It's just that you can sell for some money, these people are really endless. Daddy, Mom, do you think I can cut off all the other tails? Actually, I can keep a balance on one of my tails......" At the end, her voice became lower and lower.
She saw that the face of her father and mother was even more ugly. Daddy coughed lightly and said, "Zhu'er, tell me if you removed the bamboo basket today and spread joy in the yard again?"
was guessed by her father, she smiled embarrassedly twice and nodded and said, "I think this bamboo basket is a little uncomfortable, and it just so happens that Brother Yanli is also there, so we ran two laps in the yard together......"
After saying that, she couldn't wait to give herself two slaps, Daddy didn't like her to be with Yan Li the most, and now Daddy didn't ask. She recruited everything herself. A storm was finally coming, and she closed her eyes tightly as if something big was about to happen. The old lady next to her was chopping vegetables on the board.
Daddy sighed, reluctantly put his arm on the round table, took Shu Shu's hand and said, "Child, I know that this tail is like a burden to you, and you don't like these nine tails very much. But Daddy tells you that these nine tails are a supreme honor. “
