Chapter 188: Night in the Countryside
Hearing his son's dissuasion, Father Li hesitated for a moment and put down these bowls and tea sets stupidly.
After the two of them packed up their things and tied He Shou Wu into a pile, Li Chen resisted.
Although this weight was very easy for him, He Shou Wu's criss-crossed limbs of different lengths still hindered Li Chen's walking.
…………
After returning to the lake and laying out the bamboo rows, Li Chen carried everything on his back, only to see Li Chen carrying a bundle of He Shou Wu on his shoulders and three ginseng tied around his waist.
Father Li, on the other hand, drove the road in front, but it was really easy to walk on the previous road and bump into the grass or branches that extended out, so he had to assign a person to clear the obstacles in front.
It was already dark when I returned to the village slowly, and the village was deserted except for some specific places.
There are no bright lights in the big city, only the tranquility of nature, and perhaps listening to the insects in the yard and watching the stars in the sky is also a good enjoyment.
Walking on the main road of the village, in addition to the headlamps of Li Chen and Li's father, only the dim or pale white lights in the courtyards on both sides of the road were reflected over the walls.
Along the way, one or two particularly vigilant earth dogs kept barking, and then... The dogs barked more and more, and finally all the dogs in the village began to bark.
However, after ten seconds, the dogs of each family were shouted from the house by their owners, and they gradually quieted down, and the village returned to calm.
When the father and son stood at the gate of the yard, Rhubarb and its two children, Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai, also ran out with their curly tails.
I think it was the three big dogs who heard the movement, smelled a familiar smell, and ran out to greet them.
Father Li rubbed the heads of the three dogs heavily, and after saying "good" to show comfort, he walked quickly into the yard, and Li Chen followed in.
Mother Li, who heard the movement, also walked out at this time, looking at Li Chen who was resisting and hanging, the whole person was wrapped in He Shou Wu and ginseng, and hurriedly walked over:
"Why are you tired of holding so many things? He turned his head and scolded Father Li: "You are really a dead man, you gave everything to your son, you are relaxed, isn't it ?......?"
Seeing his mother nagging his father, Li Chen was secretly happy in his heart, and he didn't help get some things when he entered the village, it was easy for him to even hang up!
After putting these at the door of the house, Li Chen patted the dirt on his body and asked with a smile, "Mom, are you here to wait for us to come back?!"
"Isn't this nonsense, I guess you didn't bring anything, you definitely have to come back, who knew it would be so late!"
Li Chen pointed to the pile of things he had put down, "Isn't this to dig up these things!"
Seeing the culprit who caused her late return, Mother Li said in surprise: "Ho, there are still three hundred-year-old mountain ginseng! There are also these old He Shou Wu, you won't have touched the medicine nest!"
Hearing his mother-in-law's words, Father Li was angry, "What kind of medicine nest can grow together!" It's not this stinky boy, and he didn't tell him that there were medicinal fields planted by his ancestors in the sinkhole, otherwise he could come back so late!"
Hearing that Father Li called the ancients who used to live in the sinkhole 'Old Ancestor' without warning, Li Chen was also drunk, although there was also this possibility, but there was no evidence, so he recognized it, is it really good...
"I'll take them and clean them. ”
Seeing that his mother was about to make a big move, Li Chen hurriedly stopped: "Mom, it's already night, I'll do it tomorrow." ”
Seeing that his mother had stopped, Li Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Mother Li stopped, but Father Li finally found a point to say, but he didn't want to talk about this like this:
"You mother-in-law, you don't want to think about what to wash at night, if you want to wash my son and I have already washed in the mountains, do you need to bring back the soil!"
"You washed them all, where did they go? Don't you know it's going to be damaging to the ginseng?!"
“……”
Mother Li was also angry when she listened to Li's father's tirade, "I was kind enough to do something wrong, right!? Okay, in the future, you can cook your own food and wash your clothes by yourself......
Li Chen looked at his father and mother who were arguing again, secretly wiped a handful of sweat, took out all the things in his backpack, left only the wooden box that Father Li was not interested in, and said to the two of them:
"Dad, Mom, I'll go back first when it's okay. ”
Father Li waved his hand, and Mother Li, who was interrupted, said, "Be careful on the road", and began to nag Father Li after speaking.
Li Chen, who had left the courtyard gate, sighed secretly, it was better to leave this battlefield earlier, otherwise it might affect him!
Looking at the three big dogs who escaped from his feet, he touched their heads each, "Let's go, I'll come to see you tomorrow." ”
……
……
When he returned to the old house, he was thrown to the ground by a black and white figure that jumped out of the darkness on the side.
Li Chen, who was defenseless for a while, was knocked down and hurriedly pushed with all his strength, pushing the black and white figure down the body that was pressing on him, and then half-squatted up with a roll, only to see clearly the 'heroic' black and white face of the creature pushed to the side, it was the second fool!
When it wagged its tail and trotted over to get closer, Li Chen's big hand covered its face and pushed it aside, "Go aside, it scared me a lot, next time you commit a second offense like this, you will be punished for confinement!"
The second fool stood next to him and was so aggrieved that he screamed "woo".
"Shut up now, don't you know it's night!? Li Chen said angrily: "Welcome to have you welcome like this? This is a fright! If I had a weapon in my hand, you would have seen the dog god a long time ago!"
The second fool shouted a few times unconvinced, turned around and ran into the courtyard to find comfort.
Standing up and patting the dust on his body, he wanted to cry without tears, and he just came back and gave such a big surprise, which was really too different from what he expected.
After a while, the animals in the house also ran or flew out.
Li Chen greeted him, and while walking towards the house, he asked the mung bean on his shoulder, "Spring flowers or did they go to the orchard?"
"Yes, stupid, stupid. ”
Since the last time I ate peaches, the ferret at home has been running to the orchard every night, guarding the orchard and not letting the thief come and steal it.
But I didn't see it find the thief who stole the fruit, but every day when it came back, it had a bulging belly, no need to eat, and when it came back, it slept for a few hours, and then ran to play with its friends, and I don't know where it got so much energy every day.
As soon as she walked into the courtyard, Ye Jingting greeted her, reached out and took her backpack, and asked softly, "Why did you come back so late?"
"It's just to dig out a few old ginseng plants in the sinkhole. ”
