Chapter 2 Meet the Honeysuckle
"Brother Dog, how long do we have to walk?" After walking for a long time, Mu's little legs were sore, and she felt sorry for her little arms and legs. The dog stopped and looked at Mu Xiao walking slowly behind him, "It's just ahead, it's coming soon." The dog looked at Mu Xiaoxiao's appearance and felt that he was an older brother and should help his sister. "Do you want to carry it?" asked the dog slowly.
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled, this ancient time, isn't it that men and women can't kiss each other or something? Or is this not prosperous here? Mu Xiaoxiao doesn't know what dynasty this is now, it's too far away and too remote? Anyway, I haven't heard anything about it, Mu Xiaoxiao, I saw that the dog is still a child, and I am an adult, so I am embarrassed to let the dog carry it, so Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head ruthlessly. This little arm and leg walk for a while is exhausting, and it seems that he needs to exercise.
The dog shook his head when he saw Mu Xiaoxiao, so he walked forward again. "Little sister, what do you want to find in the mountains?" the dog was a little curious. Mu Xiaoxiao has already seen the foot of the mountain, it is summer, and the grass and trees are luxuriant. "I'm going to find a few small pieces of wood for Daddy to make toys for me, and then find something to eat, and ask me that my family is running out of food, and Daddy's illness is getting worse and worse" Mu Xiaoxiao pretended to be pitiful, just didn't want the dog to stop her action, she was going to see if there were any medicinal herbs on the mountain, which could be picked and sold, so that she could have rice to eat at home first.
"Well, I'll help you. The dog replied while hitting the grass with the handle of his bow, there are many snakes and insects this summer. "No, Brother Dog, you go and do your thing, I'll just take a look at the bottom of the mountain. Mu Xiaoxiao was going to branch the dog away first, so as not to wait for himself to pick something that should not be picked, and he would ask questions. The dog thinks about it, and he also wants to hunt pheasants or hares on the mountain to replenish the family. "Are you okay? Uncle Mu and my mother told me to look at you. The dog hesitated.
"Xiaoxiao won't run around, and when Xiaoxiao waits at the foot of the mountain for Brother Dog to go home together, Aunt Wang won't say Brother Dog. Mu Xiaoxiao tried hard to be well-behaved, if she let the dog follow her all the way, she wouldn't be bad at doing anything! The dog hesitated but agreed, and before going up the mountain, he kept telling Xiaoxiao to be careful and not to run around. Mu Xiaoxiao saw that he was on the mountain, and he walked around at the foot of the mountain.
There is no rice at home, and there are a few cabbages and sweet potatoes, Mu Dad's body needs to be replenished, Mu Xiaoxiao is going to catch some fish first and then see if there are any wild vegetables or herbs or something. On the side of the mountain is a small stream, and Mu Xiaoxiao is ready to go to the side of the stream. The stream water is clear and slow, Mu Xiaoxiao thinks that this is definitely not something that can be seen in modern times, Mu Xiaoxiao saw that there were a few small fish swimming around in the stream, and he was going to catch a few and go back to make soup, this fish was so small, it must not be able to burn and eat meat, so he could only drink fish soup.
Mu Xiaoxiao put the small basket next to the tree on the shore, took off his shoes and socks, and went into the water. The fish is very smart, and when there is a hint of a wave, it swims away quickly. So Mu Xiaoxiao stood in the water and didn't move, and after a while, the waves in the water were not so strong, the swimming speed of the fish slowed down, and Mu Xiaoxiao began to catch fish. Mu Xiaoxiao gently used his hand to encircle the mud from the shore, leaving a small opening, forcing the fish into the range of the mud, seeing that there were more fish, he blocked the mouth with mud. Then grab them one by one into their own little baskets. Seeing enough, Mu Xiaoxiao went ashore.
I forgot to bring a barrel today, and Mu Xiaoxiao decided to go home and ask Mu Dad to make a small barrel for himself. The fish was going to be killed and eaten, and Mu Xiaoxiao didn't worry about whether the fish would die out of water. After resting for a while, Mu Xiaoxiao put on his shoes and socks, carried his small basket, and looked for it at the foot of the mountain. It is estimated that the wild vegetables can be eaten is almost finished by the villagers, Mu Xiaoxiao looked around, and found a bush of fungus in a bush, there is a big wood here, covered with moss, and Mu Xiaoxiao also found the fungus, Mu Xiaoxiao carefully picked it off, and it can be cooked at home, and it is not bad to make a cold fungus to eat.
When Mu Xiaoxiao finished picking the fungus and was about to leave, he suddenly found that on the side of a tree against the mountain, there was honeysuckle. It really surprised Mu Xiaoxiao. Mu Xiaoxiao trotted over, this honeysuckle bloomed very well, Mu Xiaoxiao carefully dug a few plants, connected with the soil, ready to see if they could be planted in his yard. Mu Xiaoxiao finished all this, stood up, saw that it was not too early, and prepared to go to the foot of the mountain to wait for the dog.
Moreover, before coming, Mu Xiaoxiao saw a few good pieces of wood at the foot of the mountain, just right, you can take it back and let Mu Daddy make a few gadgets, which can be sold at the market. Mu Xiaoxiao had just walked to the foot of the mountain when he saw the dog coming down with a piece of wood in his hand. "Brother dog, I'm here. Mu Xiaoxiao stood at the foot of the mountain and did not move. "I've got you a piece of wood, which should be enough. Then the dog put down the basket again, and took out a pheasant from it, and put it in the little wooden basket.
"I had good luck today. The dog picked up the log again and went home. "Hurry up, otherwise, Mu Daddy and the others will have to worry about you. Mu Xiaoxiao followed closely, and suddenly felt that the ancient children were really powerful, and the dog was only ten years old this year, so he was so old.
The dog helped Mu Xiaoxiao put the wood into the yard and prepared to leave. "Brother Gou'er, thank you today, do you want to stay for dinner?" The dog shook his head and refused. "Help me say hello to Uncle Mu, I'll go back first. Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and watched the dog leave. Then I entered Mu Dad's room and saw Mu Dad's sleeping in bed. "Daddy, I'm back, are you feeling unwell, do you want to ask a doctor to come and take a look?" Mu Xiaoxiao was a little worried about Mu Dad's condition.
"Daddy is okay, is Xiao Xiao hungry? Daddy is going to cook for you." Mu Xiaoxiao didn't see that Mu Dad was in any pain, so he didn't ask any more. Mu Daddy originally broke his heart and lungs, and this situation should be taken slowly. Mu Xiaoxiao is now just sighing that he was not good at learning at the beginning.
"Daddy, Xiaoxiao will make you something to eat, Xiaoxiao caught fish today" Mu Xiaoxiao quickly went into the kitchen. Although she hadn't used this stove to cook, she had also watched costume dramas on TV and knew what the steps were, so Mu Xiaoxiao added firewood, used flint, and made a fire to cook. There is no rice at home, and I will definitely not be able to eat rice porridge tonight.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought as she mixed water into the cauldron, she was going to boil fish soup tonight. This house only has a little salt to use, nothing else. Mu Xiaoxiao took out the fungus in the back basket and put it into a small wooden basin, which was made by Mu Xiaoxiao by Mu Dad, just by virtue of these, it can be seen that Mu Dad's love for Mu Xiaoxiao. I took a wooden pot for small fish, and Mu Xiaoxiao was going to take it outside to clean up the fish so that it could make soup. As soon as he was staggering and carrying the wooden basin, he saw the wooden father coming over slowly. "Daddy, didn't you get a good rest?
Mu Xiaoxiao put the basin away and mixed some water into the wooden basin. "Daddy feels much better, and now I feel like my family is very capable. Mu Xiaoxiao looks very much like her mother, Mu Dad looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and remembered Mu Niang who ran away with someone, in fact, he was sorry for her, he made her suffer too much, and she couldn't bear it before she ran away. Mu Xiaoxiao saw that Mu Dad was standing in a daze, and knew that Mu Dad was stuck in the past contemplation again, so he went to the house to move a stool for Mu Dad.
"Daddy, you sit and rest for a while, is tomorrow the fair? Mu Dad coughed a few times and sat down on the stool brought by Mu Xiaoxiao. "I also have to prepare some things at home, but cough cough daddy's illness can't accompany you. Mu Xiaoxiao, with a knife, began to peel the fish and threw away the internal organs of the fish. While talking to Mu Dad, "Daddy, I can follow Aunt Wang, there is no rice at home, I can go to the market to buy some rice." ”
Mu Dad looked at Mu Xiaoxiao's skillful movements, and it was not surprising that everything was attributed to the gods to make his daughter so smart. Mu Dad squinted his eyes happily, "Well, then Dad will go and tell your Aunt Wang in a while." Mu Dad swept away the previous haze and felt that he should cheer up, after all, his daughter still needs his own.
Mu Daddy stood up slowly and walked in front of Mu Xiaoxiao. "Daddy, you can do your own thing, Daddy will make fish soup for Xiaoxiao. Mu Xiaoxiao looked up and saw the smile on Mu Dad's face, and suddenly had a good feeling of being reborn.
"Didn't Daddy say that he wanted to make toys for Xiaoxiao?" Mu Xiaoxiao knew that his family urgently needed money these days, but this honeysuckle couldn't be dried and sold these days. Mu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to hit Mu Daddy's body. Isn't Mu Papa a carpenter? Mu Xiao prepared to make the best use of it, and let Mu Papa make a deck of cards for himself. This playing card was originally paper, but this ancient paper was not so hard, so Mu Xiaoxiao had to hit this substance on the wood. "What kind of toy does Little want, why don't you make a frog for Little Daddy?" or a calf?" Daddy looked at the small wood in the yard to see what he could do.
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little excited, "Daddy, Xiaoxiao will draw it for you, Xiaoxiao wants this, this is a game that Whitebeard Grandpa and Xiaoxiao often play." Mu Xiaoxiao said as he drew a wooden branch on the ground. When Mu Dad heard the white-bearded old man, he looked at the little painting with an expression of awe. Tiny drew a rectangle on the ground. Mu Daddy has a black line, what is this, Xiao Xiao looked up and saw Mu Dad's expression, and then looked at what he had drawn, and suddenly secretly said that he was stupid. "Daddy, this is the shape of the little thing, can you help Xiaoxiao get fifty-four kinds of wood chips out, and carve flowers on the back." Such "
Mu Xiaoxiao squatted down again and drew a peony flower inside the rectangle. "Xiaoxiao, what kind of flower is this?" asked Mu Daddy stupidly. "Peony~" Xiao replied casually. Mu Daddy looked at the mess on the ground, and Peony Mu Daddy's heart was messy. "Okay, Daddy will do it for you, make sure you can see it tomorrow. When Mu Xiaoxiao heard this, she was happy in her heart, she could sell this thing tomorrow, and she could buy something. "Daddy, Xiaoxiao is going to cook for you!" Mu Xiaoxiao happily entered the kitchen, busy.
When Mu Xiaoxiao finished dinner and cleaned up, Mu Daddy was almost done, although Mu Dad's health was not good, but it did not affect his craftsmanship at all, Mu Xiaoxiao said, this little Dad's craftsmanship is really good, fifty-four different postures of peony flowers in the wooden bearing lifelike. It seems that if Daddy Wood hadn't been sick, he might have been a good carpenter. "Xiaoxiao, do you like it?" Mu Dad asked cautiously when he saw Mu Xiaoxiao holding the wooden hair in a daze. He didn't know what his daughter could do with a piece of wood, and he tried to do his best.
"Daddy, you are doing a good job, better than playing with the white-bearded grandfather. Mu Xiaoxiao pretended to be cute while holding Mu Dad's tools to engrave numbers and colors. It's hard to distinguish between colors and anything, so you can only simply engrave a few different patterns. Mu Dad watched Mu Xiaoxiao's movements, although he was puzzled, he didn't make a sound, watching Mu Xiaoxiao's every move. As it was approaching the end of the night, Mu Xiaoxiao finally carved it. Mu's little eyelids were about to drop to the ground. She was really tired, and she was only a five-year-old when she crossed over. hastily packed up his things and pushed the wooden father who was about to fall asleep. "Daddy, go to sleep~" Daddy Mu woke up dimly. I turned off the oil lamp and fell asleep with my little one in my arms.
