9. Cool heart

"Brush, brush!" The gray sparrow fluttered its wings towards the fat man Pang Yingwu and flew away, and it was about to pounce on his face.

Pang Yingwu couldn't help but let out an "ah", his fat body fell backwards, and the hand holding the chocolate involuntarily let go in midair. Fortunately, Lu Xiangyang grabbed him by the collar quickly, so that he did not fall off the bumpy carriage.

But even so, Pang Yingwu was still scared out of a cold sweat, and shouted with palpitations: "What the hell is this? The sparrow is also a sperm? ”

Because several people were shocked to see that after the gray sparrow was removed from his face, he actually grabbed the falling chocolate and flew away with its wings. This leisurely appearance made Pang Yingwu's teeth itch.

But Tang Tang suddenly chuckled at this time, and said meaningfully: "Everything has a spirit, maybe it is also laughing at you." ”

Pang Yingwu "sighed" in disbelief, half-lay down in a congested heart, rested on the straw of the carriage, but was quiet for a while. Without his noise and laughter, Tang Tang immediately felt much more relaxed.

Seeing that both of them were sleeping soundly with their eyes closed, Tang Tang quietly beckoned the gray sparrow to fly down. The gray sparrow rested on her wrist, a beak, and the chocolate rolled into her palm.

Tang Tang opened the wrapping paper of the chocolate as he said, broke it into small pieces lightly, and fed it to eat.

As soon as they tasted it, the gray sparrow was instantly pleasantly surprised. "It's so delicious, what is it? Is there anything else on that fat man? Let's join forces to trick things over~"

Tang Tang: "......"

She never thought that the gray sparrow would be so undisciplined!

However, the Grey Sparrow is not alone in its lack of discipline. When it had eaten and drunk enough, it happily followed the carriage rail, and bounced close to the two men who were asleep. It opened its small eyes as big as sesame seeds, swayed left and right, looked at it for a while, and then suddenly jumped into Pang Yingwu's open pocket.

Suddenly, he quickly grabbed a chocolate with his beak and flew out again.

But Pang Yingwu was asleep and didn't notice it at all. On the contrary, it was Lu Xiangyang beside him who immediately opened his eyes vigilantly. He looked around vigilantly, and found nothing wrong, but he still had a slight feeling in his heart.

Seeing Pang Yingwu's head leaning on his shoulder, the saliva left behind wet the military uniform on his body, and immediately pushed his head away in disgust. Pang Yingwu's head staggered, and then he woke up. "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

He looked at Lu Xiangyang with sleepy eyes, and saw that he took out a clean white towel from his backpack and wiped the shoulders of his military uniform, and immediately understood what was going on, and couldn't help laughing. "Old Lu, come on, come on, I'll wipe it for you."

"Go aside." Lu Xiangyang whispered, finished this work, moved his position, and found a straw stack to lean on, two or three steps away from him.

Pang Yingwu didn't know that he loved cleanliness, so he immediately occupied a large piece of open space by himself, stretched out his feet comfortably, and pulled out his pocket with one hand with his eyes slightly closed. After touching out three or four pieces of chocolate, he threw two pieces to Lu Xiangyang and ate them together.

But I didn't expect that when I put my hand in my pocket again, it was gone!

He flipped his pockets inside and out in disbelief, talking about chocolate inside and out, and he couldn't even see a bit of dregs. This made him suddenly cry out in disbelief, "Hey, that's weird, I should still have a piece of chocolate in my pocket, but I counted them and ate them, why is it gone?" ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but get up and scratch twice in the straw, but he didn't see the chocolate fall onto the carriage. In an instant, the lost piece of chocolate was all his attention.

Although Pang Yingwu is fat, his mind turns very fast on weekdays, and he clearly remembers the number of chocolates, so there can be no mistake. The only possibility is that it has been dropped or taken away.

Thinking of this, Pang Yingwu's gaze couldn't help but turn around Tang Tang. She didn't know when she ran to the front of the carriage, and sat in the chauffeur with the captain, talking and laughing, without noticing the situation here.

Pang Yingwu thought for a moment, it was not good to detain this matter on the head of the little girl without evidence, so he had to snort indignantly at the moment, and lay down with his clothes closed, not mentioning it for the time being.

By the time the carriage ran back to Niujia Village, it was completely dark, and the clothes of several people were blown through by the cold night wind from the outside to the inside, and they were shivering and cold.

Even though Tang Tang had worn all the old clothes he had changed in the county town during the day, he still couldn't resist the open-top carriage and poured wind directly into the people. As soon as I got out of the car, I almost lost feeling in both feet.

"Don't stand, move your feet quickly, don't freeze!" The old captain jumped out of the car, grabbed the horse's head, and urged.

What he said was right, but Tang Tang heard two tall horses chatting on the side: "The young master is dying of heat, he has run for dozens of miles, and the muscles and bones of his whole body have moved." ”

"No, I'm sweating! Now I just want to take a good shower and eat some grass. ”

"Wow, think beautifully! Who will take the bath? Sleep with the smell! ”

"Boom, pluck your hooves!" The two tall horses suddenly stepped on me and I kicked you, and the old captain shouted "shhh

As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect a swift figure to jump past him, and then he felt a heavy piece of something in his pocket.

"Old captain, thank you today, I'll go to the cafeteria to see if there is any dinner." A smiling voice passed by, and the old captain squinted his eyes in the dark, and immediately recognized that this was Tang Tang's figure.

He quietly put his hand in his pocket and spun around, took out his fingertips and sniffed under his nose, and immediately understood that the contents of his pocket were tobacco leaves. He shook his fingertips silently and led the horse back to the stable.

When the old captain settled the horse and walked into the canteen, he saw that the canteen lit by kerosene lamps was steaming, and the chef Niu Jianjun boiled a large pot of porridge with wild vegetables and cornmeal, steamed a basket of sweet potato flour cakes, and mixed salted radish strips.

However, Pang Yingwu and Lu Xiangyang did not appreciate it. The fat man drank a big mouthful of hot wild vegetable porridge, and before he could swallow it, he felt bitter and unpleasant, and his throat was pulled, and he immediately lost his appetite.

He smashed it, simply opened the duffel bag, found a box of canned meat and opened it, and the small canteen was immediately filled with the aroma of meat. After the villagers who lacked oil, water and meat smelled it, they couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva secretly.

But only Tang Tang sat on a table next to him, burying his head and snoring and drinking porridge, eating cakes with pickles in a big gulp, eating extremely energetically, he simply didn't smell foreign things, and he was not disturbed by canned meat at all.

When Pang Yingwu saw it, he had the idea of teasing on a whim, held up the canned meat with his hand, stretched out his arm and dangled in front of her, and asked with a smile: "Big sister, are you greedy?" ”

This look immediately makes people can't help but itch their teeth.

"Oops!" Suddenly, a long leg kicked from under the table, hitting Pang Yingwu's knee, making him cry out coldly.

"Shut up and eat yours!" Lu Xiangyang said.

was dismantled by his own brother, Pang Yingwu suddenly lost face, so he had to take back the canned meat and sit down to eat peacefully.

Tang Tang also seized the time and ate a round belly. Usually only two palm-sized small cakes are served per meal, but today she was finally able to let go of the food, and of course she would not miss this opportunity. At that moment, I let go of my appetite and happily ate five.

This extravagant amount of food made Pang Yingwu stunned for a while. "Hey, good guys! This amount of food is generally not affordable at home, right? "Don't look at him fat, but his mouth is very picky, the food is not to his appetite, and he immediately picks up and eats two bites, and the canned meat is all eaten, but the cakes and wild vegetable porridge are not much down.

This kind of behavior made the old captain know in his heart. After the three of them put down their chopsticks, the old captain cleared his throat and said, "It's late today, let's rest early, I'll find you a room to live in first, and other things will be sorted out tomorrow." ”

Lu Xiangyang and Pang Yingwu were tired all the way, and nodded in agreement. But unexpectedly, the house they lived in was next door to Tang Tang.

The old captain helped them open the dark door and explained, "There is only such a vacant room in the brigade, there are only two of you, so make do with it." What he said made Pang Yingwu not even have a place to complain. The novelty of the journey north faded, and it was only the bare/exposed adobe walls, straw-covered roofs, the clay kang with the mats and a small oil lamp that flickered that he really realized his situation.

At that moment, he immediately wanted to pick his son and leave, but the hand carrying the luggage was pressed down by Lu Xiangyang.

Pang Yingwu suddenly became angry, and said to Lu Xiangyang in a rather bad tone: "Can you live in this place?" ”

Lu Xiangyang threw his luggage on the kang, and suddenly a large cloud of dust was raised. He took a step back and said, "There's still a firewood pile outside, would you like to live outside?" ”

Asked him to do this, Pang Yingwu immediately held a breath of anger in his heart, a little stupid. As soon as the old captain opened the door just now, he and Lu Xiangyang were the only two left in the room, but he looked at the room and was too lazy to move, so he reluctantly took out a snow-white towel from his duffel bag, and suddenly felt that it was too buried to wipe the dust with this brand new towel.

Fortunately, at this moment, Tang Tang pushed the door and walked in. She came in with a bucket of water and said, "The old captain asked me to send a bucket of water, and tomorrow you will have to go to the well in the east of the village to fetch water." ”

Pang Yingwu immediately stood up with a smile and hurriedly said, "Thank you, sister, why don't you help us clean up and I'll give you chocolate?" ”

Tang Tang smiled brightly, glanced at him, and said, "No." ”

"Why?" Pang Yingwu always thought that she was a rural girl, pure, simple and easy to talk, but she didn't expect to categorically reject herself.

Tang Tang glanced behind him, and saw that the little milk cat didn't know when he touched the house, and was holding a bag of fried noodles and dragging it out of the duffel bag on the kang.

It cried out happily, "Meow, what a lot of delicious food!" Today is a fortune O(∩_∩)O~"

Suddenly, a hand grabbed it by the back of the neck and lifted the whole cat up.
