There is no noise of the working crowd in the city, no neighing of traffic, no scorching heat emitted by the steel cage under the scorching sun, the early morning in the countryside, the gentle breeze, the smoke rising from the village in the distance, and the occasional sound of chickens and dogs barking, make people feel like they have entered the ink splash landscape painting.

The white lion was also excited at the moment, running quickly around Zhuang Rui, its posture was very elegant, even in the running, the huge head was also held high, like a noble king looking down on his territory, from time to time I met a few earth dogs, after seeing the white lion, they all picked up their tails, hid on the side of the road and shivered.

Shaanxi has less water and more drought, but a branch of the Wei River just passes through this small village, and the distant mountains rise and fall, like a dragon dance all the way to the edge of the village, vividly, the winding Wei River water, like a jade belt, gently floats in front of Zhuang Rui's eyes, and then flows slowly eastward.

Zhuang Rui's books during this period were mainly based on ancient Chinese and Chinese geography, and also mixed with some treatises on Feng Shui, and in his eyes, the Feng Shui of this place seemed to be in line with some of the statements in the book.

The mountains in the distance are in the shape of embracing, and they are wrapped by the Weishui River to become the "water hugging grid", and there are endless mountains in its northwest, blocking the northwest wind blowing from the direction of Gansu, which forms the "ring mountain grid" again.

Although Zhuang Rui does not have a deep study of feng shui, he can also see that this is really a feng shui geographical treasure land surrounded by mountains and waters. It is a feng shui geographical pattern of wealth and wealth, according to the book, such a place, there will definitely be the mausoleum of the emperor and general, no wonder the third child just now said that there is a scientific expedition team here.

"Brother Zhuang, you sit, (I) will pick a watermelon for you, the watermelons in your house are all sandy, big and sweet......"

Inadvertently, Zhuang Rui and Ermao, who led the way, have come to the melon field of the third family, and everywhere they look, the ground is full of melon vines, and under the thick and prosperous leaves, you can see round watermelons.

On the edge of the melon field near the dirt road, there is a thatched shed with a bamboo bed in it, which should be the night watchman's residence, Ermao just let Zhuang Rui sit on the bed first, and he ran to the field to pick watermelons.

"Huh, what about the white lion?"

Zhuang Rui did not stay in the shed, but followed Ermao, carefully walked into the melon field, and when he turned around, he found that the white lion was gone.

When Zhuang Rui was about to shout, the white lion ran over from a distance, like a white lightning, and within a few seconds of entering the line of sight, he rushed to Zhuang Rui's side.

To Zhuang Rui's surprise, the white lion actually took a fat rabbit in his mouth, as if inviting merit, the white lion put the rabbit in front of Zhuang Rui, and rubbed the big head on Zhuang Rui's body, almost not smearing the blood on Zhuang Rui's clothes.

"Brother Zhuang, this big dog of yours is so powerful, the rabbits here are generally at the edge of the nest, it is difficult to catch, I am afraid that the wild boars in the mountains will not be able to fight your big dog......"

Ermao saw the rabbit weighing five or six pounds, screamed, and looked at Zhuang Rui with envy, for children who have been in the countryside for many years, it is a very majestic thing to be able to raise a powerful hunting dog.

Zhuang Rui bent down, picked up the dead rabbit and took a look, the rabbit's body was completely bitten through by the white lion, revealing several blood holes before and after, and handed it to Ermao casually, saying: "Brother Ermao, it's also a good dish to go back and bring this rabbit back." ”

The reason why Zhuang Rui picked up the rabbit first was because Zhuang Rui knew that the white lion would never allow Ermao to reach out for its prey, if Ermao had this action before, I am afraid that the white lion would have knocked him down a long time ago, of course, without Zhuang Rui's order, he would not bite.

Ermao took the rabbit and ran happily towards the shed.

Zhuang Rui patted the white lion's head dotingly, touched an apple from his pocket, took it out, and threw it into the distance, the white lion did not wait for the order, and rushed out like lightning, and when the apple had not landed, he caught it with his mouth in the air, and ran back upside down, but it was sent to Zhuang Rui's palm, and only one apple core was left.

Looking at the white lion beside him, Zhuang Rui had a very strange feeling in his heart, if he had been placed in the past, he would definitely be regarded by others as the kind of gentleman who drove dogs and boiled eagles.

"Brother Zhuang, come and eat watermelon......"

Ermao patted east and west in the melon field, picked a large watermelon with more than ten kilograms, and carried it to the shed with great effort, and greeted Zhuang Rui.

"If you take this melon back to the village and soak it in the well at the head of the village for a few hours, then it will be refreshing to eat. ”

While speaking, Ermao used the watermelon knife in the shed to break the melon, the melon was ripe, and before the knife went down, the whole watermelon cracked, and the juice flowed all over the ground.

"Well, it's delicious, Ermao, how do you know that this melon is ripe?"

Zhuang Rui praised while eating, this melon is sandy, biting into the mouth, a sweetness straight into the heart, Zhuang Rui used to see others buy watermelon, have to knock a few times, and when he buys it, he also learns to knock on others, but I don't know what to pay attention to, it's just the occasion.

Turning his face and seeing the white lion looking at himself, Zhuang Rui hurriedly put the other half of the cut watermelon on the ground, more than ten kilograms of watermelon, even if it is half, he and Ermao can't eat it.

Ermao gnawed on the watermelon, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said vaguely: "Brother Zhuang, this watermelon is played with your hand, if it makes a "poof" sound, it is ripe, and if you don't eat it, it will be bad. ”

Coming to this quiet countryside, Zhuang Rui seems to have returned to his childhood, after eating a piece of watermelon, he drilled into the melon field, according to what Ermao said, knocked it up one by one, and played happily, thinking in his heart, learn this hand, we will never buy raw melon eggs in the future.

"Roar!"

When he was playing, Zhuang Rui's ears suddenly heard the roar of the white lion, which suddenly startled Zhuang Rui, and quickly stood up, he knew that the white lion never screamed, and now this voice has represented the extreme anger of the white lion.

Following the prestige, Zhuang Rui couldn't help but laugh dumbly, the white lion was four or five meters away from him, scratching a hedgehog in the melon field with his paws.

This should be an adult hedgehog, gray all over, the burrs on the body have completely exploded, shrunk into a ball, curled up on the ground motionless, the white lion seems to have suffered a little loss, from time to time with its claws to pluck it, after being pierced by the thorn, quickly took a few steps back.

Seeing Zhuang Rui coming, the white lion no longer stepped forward, but kept roaring at the hedgehog, it is estimated that it is also very helpless, for this guy who is covered in thorns, it is simply a dog biting a hedgehog, there is no way to get out of his mouth, I didn't pay attention just now, when I bit it, my mouth was not lightly pierced.

"Brother Zhuang, let your big dog back a little bit, come and catch it, this thing is broken, I often steal our melons to eat, and I specially pick a big ......"

Ermao also ran over after the sound, and when he saw that it was a hedgehog, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said that Zhuang Rui should control the white lion, but he turned around and ran to the shed.

Zhuang Rui also wanted to see how he caught the hedgehog, so he called the white lion back, and the hedgehog could feel the threat of the white lion, still curled up and motionless.

When Ermao came out of the shed, he had a broken sack and a stick in his hand, walked in front of the hedgehog, opened the sack, and used the stick to push the hedgehog who didn't dare to move.

"Brother Zhuang, this hedgehog meat is delicious, more fragrant than rabbit meat, I will ask my long-haired sister-in-law to make it for you at night." ”

caught the hedgehog, Ermao was very excited, and after tying the mouth of the sack, he couldn't stop shaking it in his hand.

Zhuang Rui waved his hand again and again when he heard this, although he was meatless and unhappy, but he still avoided this animal full of explosive thorns.

Zhuang Rui played in the melon field for a while, remembered the scientific expedition team that the third child said, and was a little curious in his heart. ”

"It's not far from here, just go over that little hill, and I'll take you there." ”

Ermao is Liu Changfa's little cousin, today's task is to accompany Zhuang Rui, he is also very happy to follow Zhuang Rui, first get a rabbit, and in a blink of an eye catch a hedgehog, now back in the village, you can brag to your friends.

"Ermao, why are you picking watermelon again? I really can't eat it. ”

Zhuang Rui, who had eaten the small half of the watermelon just now, was uncomfortable, and now he saw Ermao squatting there again and picking up the watermelon, and hurriedly walked over to stop it, although it was not worth a few dollars, it could not be wasted.

"Brother Zhuang, there is my sister-in-law working over there, and I will bring a watermelon for them to eat. ”

Ermao didn't look up, skillfully picked a watermelon, held it in his arms, and clutched the bag containing the hedgehog in his hand.

"What kind of work, what kind of work, isn't it a scientific expedition team, why do you want to work?"

Zhuang Rui was a little inexplicable when he heard it, he also had to find a man to work, listening to the meaning of Ermao's words, it seemed that women were still working.

"Help them dig a pit, fifty yuan a day, I also went to work for a day, but the next day I don't want men to do it, it's all the old ladies in the village there. ”

Ermao seemed to be a little dissatisfied, for their children, they didn't have a chance to see fifty yuan all year round, he asked himself if he had more strength than those old ladies.
