Chapter 31: The Quietly Flowing Grand Canal (2)
When Gou Yu, Yao Jian, and Qiao'er were helpless to find their relatives, Gou Yu was Yao Jian's words, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and he remembered someone!
Who?
Cyclops!
Gou Yu doesn't know when the one-eyed dragon came to this garden, and according to the villagers, it is older than Gou Yu! Just because there is alfalfa grass planted in the garden, because it can be eaten, there are young students in the village who often visit here, and it has become a trend, and it can't be controlled at all! Therefore, the caretaker here changed again and again, and at last came a one-eyed man, whom some villagers had seen with their own eyes, standing on the high wall, and giving a loud speech to the village:
Folks, folks! I'm a veteran, commissioned by a higher authority (who knows if that's true or not), and from today onwards, I'll take over the job here. For the sake of the safety of the country's property, we must ask the villagers to discipline their children well, fully carry forward the fine tradition of unity between the army and the people, and make their own contributions to protecting the country's property from loss! As a veteran, I will also actively defend my honor and protect the interests of the country as my own responsibility, resolutely stand a good post for the motherland, and be proud not to lose a single grain of dust in the country's property.
The villagers said that after the one-eyed dragon finished his speech, he applauded and slapped his wonderful speech to the village, and bowed solemnly and deeply to the village, and said: Thank you, folks!
After this incident, it once became a hot joke in the streets and alleys in the village, the adults followed his example and gave speeches, and the younger generations also rushed to imitate it, and the villagers laughed "haha", which was very lively for a while!
However, later facts proved that the one-eyed dragon was indeed doing real work! repeatedly caught the lawless young offspring who wanted to steal and make trouble, and sent them to the brigade headquarters, and asked the village leaders to notify the adults to lead people to the brigade headquarters, and carried out a lot of criticism and education, which played a great deterrent role! Since then, there has been peace like never before!
According to the villagers, one year, in order to commend the strong support of the villagers, the one-eyed dragon once asked the leaders of the garden for instructions and distributed a batch of alfalfa grass to each household for the villagers to eat, and received strong support from the leaders of the garden, and was fulfilled and implemented! Because of this, it was once a good story in the village, and for several years, there were no more thefts like this here! For this reason, the one-eyed dragon also got a pennant because of this, and was hung on the wall of the house by the one-eyed dragon to show off his honor!
When the dog entered the house of the one-eyed dragon, he did see the pennant, which read: This pennant is dedicated to the good defenders of the country! Below is his name. (I'll tell the story of this person in the future, so it's also a burden, and I can't make it public yet)
The dog is left to think that the one-eyed dragon must know about it! According to Uncle Yao, the one-eyed dragon has been here to see the garden for a long time, and this is after the last sparrow fight, and the dog left inadvertently asked about it.
"Uncle Yao, do you know the one-eyed dragon in the Animal Husbandry Breeding Farm?" The dog has nothing to do and loves to ask long and short questions with Lao Yao, even he doesn't know what's going on inexplicably, once the dog has spare time and has doubts, the first person who comes up with it is Lao Yao. Lao Yao and Gou Yu are always very easy-going, Lao Yao is also very willing to talk to Gou Yu, the two of them are together like friends and like the relationship between elders and juniors, very harmonious.
"Why did you ask about him?" Lao Yao lay on the recliner and said with squinted eyes.
"I'm glad today, I just want to tell you about this! Hey, Uncle Yao, let me tell you a surprise, the one-eyed dragon has been subdued by me! Gou Yu said to Lao Yao proudly.
Hearing this, Lao Yao suddenly opened his eyes and asked the dog with a side face, "What?" You subdued the cyclops? Did someone recruit you and provoke you? ”
"He wouldn't let me go to the garden to hunt sparrows, he always looked for me and confronted me! There are a lot of sparrows in there, don't we want to satisfy our hunger? Gou Yu said.
"How did you clean up people?" Lao Yao asked.
"Just the last time I gave you a sparrow. He almost caught me, and thanks to Jianye calling me, I set up a slingshot and aimed at him, if he dared to take a step forward, maybe I would really make him blind! I remember the last time my dad went to pick me up, and in front of him, my dad beat me up! After beating up, I can't stop begging for his forgiveness, and I'm ashamed to death! The dog said vividly after learning the previous and backward experiences.
"Hahaha! Good boy, there's a kind! Lao Yao laughed when he heard Gou Yu's words, but then said to Gou Yu with a serious face: "This person is a hero, he made war exploits during the Anti-Japanese War, and he only did this errand in the garden because he was blinded in one eye." Remember in the future, you have to respect others, that's a good person, you love to fight sparrows, you can't be big or small with others in the future! He's been there a lot older than you're older, and he's half of our Zhuangzi, so it's good to talk to him when he's fine! ”
"Dog, you said, do you know who to ask?" Yao Jian and Qiao'er saw that the dog was stunned, so they urged and asked.
Gou Yu woke up from his memories after being urged by the two of them and said, "One-eyed dragon! He must know about it! ”
"One-eyed dragon? Is that the one-eyed dragon watching the garden? Qiao'er asked suspiciously.
"Well, that's him!" Gou Yu replied firmly.
"How do you assume he knows about it? It's that he knows about it, and how do you know he's going to tell you? Yao Jian asked again.
"Well, maybe he knows the truth, it's up to him to see if he is willing to say it!" Gou Yu said.
At this moment, it was almost noon, and the willow tree knew "know, know" and barked non-stop, and the annoying dog was left with nothing in his heart. Gou Yu raised his eyes and glanced at the willow tree by the Grand Canal, took out a slingshot from his trouser pocket, clamped a stone, and saw the knowledge on a tree. Suddenly, the banks of the river fell silent!
"Know, know, you know a! Look for death! Gou Yu looked at the beaten dead man who fell in the distance and scolded!
"Yikes! Dog, you're amazing! We came and looked for a long time but didn't find one, you hit one down at once, you are amazing! Qiao'er looked at the tree falling from Zhi, and looked at the dog Yu with wide eyes in surprise and said, with a bright face and envy on his face!
Now that I know that I have reached the period of decline, I know a lot of the deaths that fall from the trees every day, but there are not many left.
"Cut! Don't even think about it! I know that there is less fall during the day, and the peak is at night. The dead that fell were either picked up by the morning walkers, or eaten by wild dogs and wild cats at night. What time are you coming? It's long gone. Gou Yu said very expertly.
"Ah, dog, you know so much!" Qiao'er looked at the dog with envy and said.
"You know more sesame characters in books than I do, and you may not know more than I know outside of books!" After the dog left, he raised his arms and used force again, and another one fell from the tree!
"Good! Dog leftovers, fight now! We're here today to eat the meat, so let's get more! Yao Jian witnessed the dog's magical archery skills, and couldn't help shouting again.
"Big brother, big brother! Hit the birds, hit the birds! I know there's a fart! Just when Gou Yu was about to launch, he suddenly heard the voices of Jianye and Jianhong. Gou Yu squinted his eyes and followed the sound, and found that the two brothers were hiding in the recess of a dam, watching him and shouting excitedly to him.
"Get out!" If these two brothers didn't speak, Gou Yu really forgot about them, his mind would have been disturbed by that annoying question, and he wouldn't have remembered the scene when he scared the two of them away!
"Hehe, big brother, aren't you angry?" Jianye and Jianhong were excited, and the girl ran over and stood aside, "hehe," said with a smirk.
The dog ignored them, aimed at a sparrow in the tree, calmed down, raised his hand to draw the bow and competed, and listened to the "snap", and a bird fell from the tree!
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, hit, hit! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Jianye and Jianhong screamed, ran down the river dam, and went to pick up sparrows!
Gou Yu stood on the river dam, like a majestic general, seeing and knowing, seeing the sparrow beating the sparrow, he vented all the unhappiness in his heart on this angry stone! He felt that he had suddenly grown up and sensible, but he also felt that he was living a special wretched and aggrieved! It's no wonder that Teacher Yu looks down on him, no wonder Qiao'er always counts him, no wonder no one looks down on him, even whether his father and mother are biological or not, now it is doubtful, he feels that his internal organs have been hollowed out, and he is so uncomfortable!
"Dog leftover, dog leftover, you're awesome! You're amazing! Hurry up, let's barbecue and eat it later! Yao Jian and Qiao'er, Jianye and Jianhong were running back and forth on the river dam, seeing the sparrows picking up the sparrows, seeing and picking up the know, running sweating profusely, and shouting excitedly in their mouths!
The dog put away the slingshot, he was tired, he didn't want to fight, to be exact, he didn't want to vent anymore! The dog took a look at the boiling water of the Grand Canal, the wide river surface, the water flow is not hurried or slow, quietly and silently, a few debris floating on the water surface are sometimes swallowed by the silent whirlpool, and sometimes they surface again, tossing back and forth, showing that the water of the Grand Canal is calm, and there is an infinite power to confess its strength and power!
The murky water of the river was of no color, and the water was stirred up and down by the croaking of frogs on both sides of the river, and it flowed up and down until it flowed to the east. Gou Yu looked at it without blinking and felt dizzy, he found that he couldn't help but stare at a place today, dumbfounded, even if he consciously left a target, it would take some effort!
"Big brother, why don't you fight? Big brother, look, sparrow, so much! Jianye and Jianhong saw that the dog had put away the slingshot and stopped fighting, and looked at the river in a daze, so they ran over and asked.
"Don't bother your dog, he's tired, let him rest." Qiao'er and Yao Jian also rushed over and heard the words of the two younger brothers, so they counted them. Qiao'er knew that Gou Yu was uncomfortable, and it was that question that was torturing him, and she had already felt that every time Gou Yu fired a stone, he was venting the unhappiness in his heart! In order to divert the mind of the dog, Qiao'er seemed to work extra hard to cheer for the dog, she felt that the dog was very pitiful now, and gave great sympathy and enthusiasm!
"Dog leftovers, let's stop fighting, you see these know, it's all broken, can you still eat it?" Qiao'er stretched out her hands, and a lot of beaten Zhizhi was displayed in front of the dog.
"I know that there is not much meat on my body, so I can eat what I can eat, and throw away what I can't eat, and the sparrows are enough for us to eat!" Gou Yu said.
"Big brother, let's go pull the big-leaf grass." Jianye and Jianhong often follow the dogs to roast sparrow meat by the Grand Canal, and they know the preparation procedures before the barbecue.
With little effort, the two brothers pulled out the large-leaf grass, and they stacked the large-leaf grass on the ground neatly, covering it with a thick layer.
Gou Yu began to peel the sparrow neatly, and after each sparrow, the dog left put it on the paved large-leaf grass, and the skillful action quickly finished peeling. The oily and bleeding sparrows caused Qiao'er to cover her eyes with both hands, she didn't dare to witness the bloody sparrows appear in front of her, let alone watch the dogs slaughter these small animals, which made her heart beat more than once!
After peeling the sparrow, Gou Yu took out a paper bag from his pocket, opened the paper bag, and everyone saw a white bag of salt.
"Big brother, let's go find the stick." Jianye and Jianhong said.
"Dog, let's go light the fire." Qiao'er and Yao Jian saw that the dog was about to finish cooking, and they knew that it was time to light a fire and prepare for a barbecue.
