Chapter Forty-Eight: Little Seven and Little Eight

"God bless, bless my son to return safely, bless Wan'er's mother and son to be safe-" In the incense-shrouded hall, He Mochou closed his eyes tightly and bowed down sincerely. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

When she opened her eyes, she saw a thin sheet of paper falling in front of her. He Mochou was in a stirring mood, and picked up the paper from the ground with trembling hands. It is still a familiar font, with two lines of words written crookedly: The spring breeze and the south bank of the Green River, when will the bright moon shine on me.

My son--He Mochou couldn't help but burst into tears, this Qingyun view really worked. It must be that the gods can't bear to see me and Wan'er being lonely, so they send down oracles, but unfortunately, judging between the lines, my son is only afraid that he will not return it for a while.

When times like these, the human heart needs to find comfort. Ma Fenghou can understand his mother's mood very well, so he pretended to leave a book with the statue, he didn't want to call his mother and father, and he had been living in the grief of losing his son.

After breakfast, He Mochou was in good spirits, and saw that Lin Wan'er was a little more energetic than when she was at home, so she decided to stay for another day.

At Xu Meiren's suggestion, the group went for a walk in the forest. Originally, Ma Fenghou wanted to lead them to soak in the hot springs, but he thought that the road was too far for Lin Wan'er to walk, so he gave the monkeys a day off, and he accompanied his mother and others to walk in the forest.

"What a beautiful pheasant--ah, this hare is running so fast--what kind of bird is in the tree, it is so beautiful......" Along the way, Lin Wan'er and Xia Xiaoxue were babbling, and they felt new when they saw everything. The air in the forest is fresh, and walking in it makes you feel relaxed and happy.

The scenery here is beautiful, the climate is pleasant, and after retirement, it seems that it is not bad to come here to retire - a strong woman like He Mochou has a sense of retreat to the mountains and forests.

"Wow, what a big boar!" When Big Tooth appeared in front of everyone, it caused Lin Wan'er to exclaim. And Shi Liang and Xu Meiren were nervous, just as the so-called enemies saw each other, they were very red-eyed, this wild boar wouldn't want revenge, right?

They were too worried, Big Tooth had long forgotten the pain of losing his eyes, and he also caught the buds and ears of bud rice thrown by Xiao Qi with his mouth, and ate them very sweetly.

Ma Fenghou squeaked twice, signaling that he would have a day off today, and asked Big Tooth to go to eat by himself. In fact, now that the spring flowers are blooming, the plants and trees are germinating, and the big tooth is not short of food, but it is just fed by the monkeys of Qingyunguan, so Ma Fenghou's shouting is not painful or itchy for it, so he simply pretends to be deaf and dumb, so he should not hear it.

With a hula sound, a blackbird swept down from the tree and landed on the back of Big Tooth, a milky yellow beak, pecking at Big Tooth's body. Big Tooth was not annoyed, but lay on the ground and hummed, looking very comfortable.

Xia Xiaoxue suddenly covered her mouth and smiled: "This reminds me of a saying, the old eagle falls on the pig, giggles, it's so funny-"

"This is a starling, not a crow." Chen Ergou was more upright, and directly corrected Xiaoxue's mistakes, causing this girl to stick out her tongue, and then glared at Chen Ergou several times: It's all black, who knows if it's a black eagle or a starling.

In fact, the crow and the starling are really similar in appearance, but there are still differences, for example, the starling in front of him, the upper side of the mouth, has a cluster of towering feathers, which the crow does not have; In addition, there are white feathers under the wings of the starling, and when the wings are spread high, the white feathers take on the shape of a figure of eight when viewed from below, and the name of the starling is also derived from this.

As for the starling falling on the pig's back, of course, it was pecking at the parasitic bugs on the big tooth. This situation abounds in the animal kingdom, and many animals have this mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship with each other.

This starling probably ate beautifully, jumped and pecked a few times, and then quacked twice, and his voice was quite rough, almost catching up with the crow's ugly cry.

As the so-called happiness is sad, the monkey's shadow flashed, and Akajiri suddenly jumped on the back of the big tooth, and as soon as the little paws were closed, he grabbed the starling, and as a result, the starling screamed even more ugly.

"Don't eat it-" Lin Wan'er exclaimed, but Akajiri didn't listen to her, holding the starling and pushing it to her lips.

Squeaked, Ma Fenghou hurriedly shouted twice and drank Akajiri. Second, why don't you have any eyes at all, now it's a faction of harmony, if you make it so bloody, wouldn't it be a big disaster?

Besides, survival is difficult, life is not easy, and they are both birds and beasts on the mountain, so they can't hurt each other.

Xiao Qi also strongly condemned Akajiri's brutal and rough method, running up with wide eyes, puffing out his cheeks and patting Akajiri's hairy little paws. Akajiri still has a lot of respect for Xiao Qi, and happily handed the starling to Xiao Qi.

However, just now Akajiri didn't know the depth, and the little claws were more forceful, and the starling was obviously more seriously injured, with his wings hanging low, his head drooping, and his round eyes narrowed into a thin slit, but he was afraid that he would not survive.

"It's a pity for a bird, you monkey is so hateful!" Lin Wan'er looked sorry, since she was pregnant with a child, she was full of love for weak animals.

Xu Meiren next to her was worried that her friend's widow's emotions would be affected, so she comforted: "Natural selection, survival of the fittest, this is the nature of animals. ”

Lin Wan'er actually knew this truth, but when she saw the poor starling, she still had a pimple in her heart. What was supposed to be a good spring outing was ruined on Akajiri's little paws.

Ma Fenghou couldn't help but kick twice on Akajiri's red buttocks, this group of monkeys like to catch birds and dig out bird eggs when they have nothing to do, and this stinky problem must be corrected.

And at this time, he suddenly noticed that Xiao Qi's body suddenly emitted a black and white air mass, enveloping the starling on the palm of the little girl's hand. Yin and Yang are endless, and the starling's eyes suddenly opened again, and his body was full of life.

Seeing this wonderful phenomenon, Ma Fenghou couldn't help but touch the gourd hanging on his chest with his little paws, and then looked at Lin Wan'er thoughtfully.

Of course, except for Ma Fenghou, others couldn't see the yin and yang. They only saw that the starling lay on his stomach in Xiao Qi's palm for a while, and his wings flapped a few times, and it flew into the air, circled around Xiao Qi for a while, and finally landed on the little girl's shoulder. The ivory little mouth still pecked a few times on the little girl's pink ears.

"Ah, it's okay!" Lin Wan'er also looked very happy, and began to praise again: "Xiao Qi, you are awesome, this starling is very close to you." ”

Xu Meiren also praised: "The crow feeds back, the lamb kneels to milk, and the beast also knows how to repay the favor." ”

After speaking, he felt that his belly was slapped a few times, and when he looked down, he saw that the little monkey was baring his teeth at him, and the little monkey paw was still raising his middle finger. Xu Meiren couldn't help but touch her nose vigorously: sweat, I forgot that there was a monkey beside me.

Seeing Xu Meiren, who has always been humble as jade, eating deflated in front of a hairy monkey, even Shi Liang's face showed a slight smile.

The pleasant journey was able to continue, and Xia Xiaoxue also dug some wild vegetables under the guidance of Xiao Qi. Lin Wan'er was also quite moved, but her body was inconvenient, and she really couldn't bend down.

Ma Fenghou couldn't bear to see her disappointed, so he led everyone to an elm tree, on which the elm money was flourishing, and a string of dense turns.

"I still ate Yuqian rice when I was a child-" He Mochou's eyes showed a look of reminiscence.

So everyone worked together and picked a lot of elm money. The few little monkeys who followed climbed directly onto the tree and stuffed a lot of elm money into their mouths. Ignoring the fact that there are still tiny worms wriggling in the elm money, it is regarded as a supplement of high protein.

In this situation, Xu Meiren couldn't help but be poetic, and chanted softly: "In March, the wheat seedlings are fresh, and the boy picks elm money with a basket." ”

However, He Mochou didn't dare to eat them raw, after returning to Qingyunguan, He Mochou personally operated the knife and blanched the elm money, and then added a little stick noodles, and after grasping it evenly, the upper drawer was steamed and cooked. Green and clear, yellow and clear, eat into the mouth, between the mouth, full of the fragrance of elm money.

I didn't expect my mother to have this craft - Ma Fenghou also ate it very sweetly.

Just as he was feasting, he heard a frightened rattling sound outside. Xiao Qi hurriedly ran to the courtyard, only to see that the big bird was chasing a blackbird violently, looking at the feathers on the blackbird's beak, it seemed to be the starling she treated. Presumably, this starling is more attached to Xiao Qi and follows him. But being discovered by the goshawk nesting on the peach tree, the little starling dared to go to the territory of the goshawk to provoke, and he was impatient, right?

Xiao Qi hurriedly shouted to stop the flat hair, and then, the starling brother fell on Xiao Qi's shoulder in a panic. Even, Xiao Qi could feel the toes on his shoulders trembling suddenly.

"Don't be afraid, Big Bird won't bully you in the future-" Xiao Qi teased the tuft of feathers on the starling's mouth with his hand, and gave it the name of "Little Hachi". Not bad, not bad, little seven and eight, next to each other.

Soon, Lin Wan'er and Xia Xiaoxue also came over and teased the starling to learn words. They are obviously too anxious, and the starling, who has just come into contact with humans, wants to talk to others, which is really a bit embarrassing.

Moreover, if you want a starling to learn to speak, you have to perform a series of operations such as tongue twisting since you were a child, which is a very troublesome thing. This starling is beginner, and it is estimated that it is difficult.

Xu Meiren still has some understanding of this aspect, so she told the second daughter about it, and the two big girls couldn't help but be a little disappointed. However, they also know that Xu Meiren is very knowledgeable, and what she said must be reasonable.

"Quack, stingy-" The rough voice suddenly sounded, although it was still a little vague, but everyone could hear that this starling was calling Xiao Qi's name.

"Wow, what an amazing starling!" Xia Xiaoxue cheered.

Xu Meiren touched her nose hard: Why is he always slapped in the face in this mountain?

The next morning, He Mochou led the reluctant Lin Wan'er and others down the mountain. When he walked out of Qingyun Temple, Ma Fenghou untied the gourd tied around his neck, and then deftly climbed onto Lin Wan'er and hung it on her snow-white neck.

"The gourd and the hundred sons symbolize many sons and many blessings, Wan'er, you can accept it." He Mochou looked at Ma Fenghou meaningfully for a while, and then persuaded Lin Wan'er to accept the monkey's gift. As the hostess of a rich and noble house, she has never confiscated any gifts, but the gift from the monkey is really unprecedented.

Seeing the figure of the group disappear into the forest, Ma Fenghou still looked in front of Qingyun Temple for a long time. The fetus in Lin Wan'er's womb has become a concern that he can't shake away. I wonder when the next time we meet?

But to the surprise of Marquis Ma Feng, they met again before noon. I saw that this group of people returned to Qingyunguan in a panic, and Shi and Xu Meiren were sweating profusely, carrying Lin Wan'er with a painful face together-
