Chapter 574: Uncle Meow, who has nothing to love
So in the fourth lunar month when the peach blossoms began to bloom in the mountain temple, Xiao Sanye and Xiao Li, carrying hemp ropes, carrying a sickle that had been sharpened all night and shining in the sun and a homemade red tassel gun, carried the reward compass they got when they joined the army, and went into the mountains to hunt.
The family thought they were just digging traps and looking for hare nests around the fence.
Since a protective fence in the forest, the members of the club under the mountain have also begun to learn from a group of young students such as the ninth class, often digging traps around the fence, occasionally trapping a hare or catching a pheasant that has fallen into the pit, which can make the family happy for a few days.
However, Xiao Sanye and Xiao Li did not go to the periphery, but to the hinterland of the deep forest.
Fortunately, when Yingfang learned that they were going up the mountain to hunt, she told Xiao Jin the day before to let her take care of it, but she didn't say that she would let Xiao Jin bring pheasants, hares, and the like to her father, just like she had done when she went up the mountain before, but it would make her father suspicious.
Moreover, her father and Xiao Li were born in the military camp, and they are quite good at fist and foot kung fu, and now they have learned Xiaoyao boxing, which is even more powerful. Even if you encounter one or two lone boars and wild wolves, it is not a problem. Just don't come in groups.
But just because she didn't say a few words, Xiao Jin understood that it was 100% guaranteed for their safety, so she came to the forest one step ahead of them, and with a coercion, the animals of all sizes collectively retreated, and hid in the blink of an eye. If there are no living creatures, there is no possibility of encountering any danger.
That's it, when Xiao Sanye and the two arrived in the deep forest, not to mention wild boars and wild goats, they couldn't even see a little sparrow.
While looking at the compass, the two of them continued to walk along the gurgling stream, raising their vigilance, and continuing to walk a little further into the heart of the deep forest, still too quiet.
They looked at each other suspiciously, a little unsure.
There are clouds in the ancient poem, "the cicada noise forest is more quiet", "the birdsong mountain is more secluded", other animals may hide when they hear the footsteps of humans, but the birds and finches flying in the air will not be reasonable.
Could it be that there is something strange about this forest?
So, the two people who obviously went up to the mountain to hunt changed their destination to exploration.
The question is what can be found! It was originally an ordinary forest, but the wild creatures in it were so frightened that they hid in their nests and shivered because of the coercion of King Jin.
Therefore, Xiao Sanye and Comrade Xiao Li quickly circled this forest, and they didn't find out that they were ugly. The dumplings and braised eggs that were brought for lunch had already been digested, and the sky was getting darker.
"Forget it, go back, come back tomorrow. Xiao Sanye waved his hand and retreated with Xiao Li.
Xiao Jin, who was napping on a high branch, woke up to find that the two were gone, and the snake body scurried and followed. After catching up, they found that the hands of the two were empty, what kind of hunting is this? It's not enough to eat chicken, and I bring a nest of hares.
As soon as he walked out of the forest, he met Xiao Sanye, who was playing game, and became more and more sure: there was something wrong with the forest just now.
"Let's prepare enough dry food and come to explore. ”
Xiao Li nodded when he heard this.
As the old man's personal guard, it stands to reason that he can't leave the chief's gaze.
But the old man probably thought that there would be no danger in coming to Ninghe and settling in such a small isolated mountain village, so he asked him for his opinion several times and wanted to transfer him back to Kyoto. It is said that there are many veteran cadres who need senior security guards there, and returning to the capital can better reflect their value than following him.
Xiao Li did not agree. For him, the old man is not only the peak and the chief, but also has the grace of knowing him.
As the saying goes, "having a stepmother is equal to having a stepfather", and this is the case in his family.
Since his father married his stepmother and gave birth to a younger brother, there has been no place for him in the family.
Before the age of sixteen, he didn't care about him, but after he became a soldier at the age of sixteen, he wrote to him every month urging him to send money and tickets, and if he didn't send it, he threatened to dig out his mother's coffin from the ancestral grave of the old Li family.
In order to let his dead mother rest in peace, he gritted his teeth and endured it.
Fortunately, one person, unlike other comrades-in-arms, who have a large cost of raising their wives and children, does not have a lot of pressure on him to save five or ten yuan a month and send them home.
But his compromise was not ushered in by his family's concessions. On the contrary, his stepmother actually led his younger brother to his unit, and said in a loud voice that he had set a family for him, and the woman's conditions were the best in ten miles and eight towns, and the corresponding bride price requirements were also high, in addition to the full set of furniture with "forty-eight legs", it also cost three hundred and sixty-six gifts.
This was a sky-high bride price at the time. Ordinary people marry daughters, 36-legged furniture is good, and 48-legged is the standard of cadres. There is also gift money, and the second-level salary in the city is only more than 20 yuan, not to mention the countrymen who just rely on farming to eat, they actually ask for 366, why don't you grab it!
Having said that, if it was his mother who set him up to marry, he wouldn't say a word to raise money, but his stepmother would ...... After eight years of suffering before becoming a soldier, if you can't see your stepmother's face clearly, then you don't know what kind of soldier you are, and it's simply discrediting the People's Liberation Army.
immediately refused, saying that he was still young and didn't want to get married so early. His stepmother estimated that she had calculated how to spend the bride price of 366 yuan, but of course she refused, so all kinds of troublesome and troublesome higher-level cadres knew about it and took turns to talk to him.
If it weren't for the fact that Old Chief Xiao happened to come to inspect the troops, and when he saw this, he said that every family had scriptures that were difficult to read, and he couldn't be denied because of his family's situation. He also took the initiative to ask him if he had chosen a good direction, and if not, he was not interested in being his guard.
Being the personal guard of the Führer and the Founding Fathers was an honor that could not be higher for their young soldiers.
Xiao Li was so excited that he responded without thinking about it.
Later, a letter came from my hometown saying that the original family affair was not completed because the bride price was not in place.
didn't succeed, he didn't want to get married so early.
As a result, his father wrote last year that he had re-established a family for him, and this time he didn't want a bride price as expensive as 366, as long as 66, and the rest were prepared by the woman's family, so that he could save money for another two years and go home to get married.
At the end of the letter, he also said cruel words, saying that if he dared not go back, he would immediately dig out his wife's coffin and throw it into the wilderness.
In the past few years, he has followed the chief, seen more and more knowledge, and his mind and mind have become more and more firm and open-minded.
As the chief said when he enlightened him, if his mother knew about it, he would not want his only son to live so aggrieved.
So he thought about it, and when this farming was over, he would take a few days off to go back to his hometown, move his mother's grave out, and find a feng shui treasure with beautiful mountains and rivers to settle his mother.
Since his father is so unkind to see his deceased wife, then fulfill him.
As for the family affairs set for him, if the woman waits for him wholeheartedly, then he will not disappoint others, and will give her a decent wedding, and then ask her if she is willing to live in peace with him, and accompany her back to her parents' house to save relatives during the New Year's holidays. Of course, it is best to be willing, and he is not reluctant if he is unwilling.
"What do you think? You are indifferent to such a fat rabbit slipping past you?" In the midst of his thoughts, Xiao Sanye kicked him angrily.
Xiao Li suddenly came back to his senses: "I'm sorry Third Master, I was distracted." ”
"What are you doing, don't you think about your daughter-in-law, right?" Xiao Sanye joked with a wicked smile, and without waiting for Xiao Li to explain, he found a fat rabbit with sharp eyes and rushed out like an arrow.
After a while, he came back with a rabbit leg.
"Yes, yes, yes! I was able to catch these before I went down the mountain, and I didn't waste a day. "Although Xiao Sanye was disappointed that he didn't catch a wild boar or a wild goat, it is not bad to have pheasants and rabbits, it is better than nothing.
"Third master, are we still here tomorrow?" Xiao Li asked as he tied the rabbit's legs with a thin hemp rope.
"Come on, come if you have nothing else to do at home. As he spoke, Xiao Sanye turned his head and looked at the distant forest behind him.
It wasn't even completely dark, and the forest was covered in a misty layer of smoke. If you want to have some fairy music, not to mention, it really feels like a heavenly fairy palace.
It's so mysterious that it's hard not to be curious.
The two of them, one carrying a long string of pheasants and the other carrying three fat rabbits, walked briskly down the hill following the marks they had made.
Deeper in what they saw as the mystical forest, the chubby kumquat round stared at a pile of firewood in the middle of the valley with green amber eyes open.
In the fire, there was a charred hairy pheasant.
The thick white smoke drifted vertically, and was blown away by the mountain wind in mid-air, and from a distance, it looked like a layer of fairy mist had risen up.
Failed again!
Uncle Meow angrily slapped the empty matchbox under his paws.
In vain, it stole a box of things that could start a fire from the mistress's house, but none of the beasts could use them, and in the end it had to come in person.
But the fire was lit, and the pheasants were thrown in, so why did the smell waft out so different from that roasted by the hostess?
Uncle Meow fell to the ground with a resentful face.
It's so hard to eat a roast chicken!
"Squeak!"
The golden retriever swaggered over with a taro leaf on his head, and when he saw the fat kumquat, he couldn't help but shrink back.
It hasn't forgotten how terrifying this meow uncle is.
After thinking about it, he ran forward and offered the peach in his hand.
It took a lot of effort to pick it up from the bottom of the cliff, and the old peach tree at the bottom of the cliff didn't know how to grow, and it took a total of three peaches to bear three peaches.
It ate one at the bottom of the cliff, and the remaining two were in his arms and wanted to keep them for his fellow countryman, but on the way, he endured and endured it and still couldn't hold back, and ate another one.
This is the last one.,I wanted to let the two fellows split in half.,I met Uncle Meow.,By the way, take it out and offer a courtesy.。 Cats don't eat peaches anyway.
Sure enough, Uncle Meow glanced lazily, "Bah! Lao Tzu wants to eat chicken, not peaches."
The golden retriever's big eyes instantly brightened.
Happily retracting the peach, moving faster than his brain, opening his mouth is a mouthful. Delicious!Click!Delicious!Click!Delicious...... Huh, what about peaches?
Looking up, Uncle Meow grabbed only half of the peach, stretched out his little pink tongue and licked it, found that it tasted good, and buried himself in eating.
Golden Retriever: Which cat doesn't eat peaches? Lao Tzu can't kill it!
