Zhining said, "Huh? Someone sleeping here? ”

Zou Yichen said: "It's the little master, the master asked him to dig bamboo shoots here, but he will be lazy and fall asleep." Let's take a look. ”

Several people followed the sound and walked in, and saw a Chinese pastoral dog lying on the ground, with a leather lock tied to its neck, tied to several short bamboos by its owner. Looking around, there was no one else nearby, where could I see the cow.

"Strange, how did the snoring suddenly go away." Zhining said in surprise.

"There's a fat country dog here, but there's no one, and it's strangely tight." Zou Yichen said suspiciously.

The crowd had just walked a few steps back when they heard snoring again.

Zou Yichen said: "Little master, I don't know where to hide, and I am playing with us, let's go, and pretend to snore." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the other two and whispered, "Let's walk lightly, don't let him hear it again." ”

A few people turned around and walked back.

Several people pinched their hands and feet and snored closely, but the snoring stopped again.

The three of them held their breath and made almost no sound. After a while, the snoring sounded rhythmically.

Suddenly, Zou Yichen screamed in shock, and all the birds and insects in the trees fled one after another.

Niu Er, who had dug a basket of bamboo shoots, was tired and panting, took out a hemp rope ladder, tied it to a few bamboos, and lay on it as if he had made a hammock. stretched his sore waist and rolled a few times on the hemp rope ladder, suddenly remembered something, sat up hurriedly, and said, "I almost forgot what the master told me." As he spoke, he jumped down the hemp rope ladder and dug up the Chinese medicine Heterophylla Aracea in the bamboo forest. After a while, several plants were dug up.

Seeing that the bamboo basket could no longer be put down, he returned to the hammock, lying on his back and looking at the bamboo leaves in the sky, swinging with the wind.

Dense foliage from the middle, the sun shines.

After a while, Niu Er felt really bored, and muttered: "Why don't you come back yet?" Could it be that there is a mistake in the time with Zhining? Or has my apprentice not returned to the house yet? ”

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel that the shadows of the trees in front of me were blurry, and my eyes were sleepy and weak. Just as his eyes were about to close, a terrible scream suddenly came from the bamboo forest, which frightened Niu Er, and suddenly his sleepiness scattered, he sat up hurriedly, and heard a scream again.

His heart moved, "Could it be that they are in vain?" Thinking of this, he jumped down the hemp rope ladder and ran in the direction of the scream.

I saw him shuttling through the bamboo forest in a vigorous manner, and after a while, he crossed one or two small mounds, and saw Zou Yichen and the three of them lying on the ground in fright.

I saw a fat Chinese pastoral dog that could barely walk, looking at the four of them with a fierce look.

Niu Er smiled and helped Zou Yichen up and said, "You see that an ordinary jackal will be scared away. ”

Zou Yichen said: "It's ...... It...... This is no ordinary jackal. ”

Niu Er smiled: "Why didn't I see anything unusual about him?" ”

Suddenly, the pastoral dog fell to the ground with a "plop" due to the lack of support, and gasped loudly for breath, like a big man snoring after falling asleep.

It was the first time Niu Er heard this thunderous snoring, and he was really startled. He fixed down to look around, and saw that the reins that bound it had polished the short bamboo to a shiny tile, and the grinding marks had been pulled from the bottom of the bamboo pole to the position of the bamboo whistle.

Zou Yichen said: "Just now, it started to go crazy and snore, while baring its fangs and pounced on us. The ferocity is terrifying. ”

Niu Er exclaimed: "This jackal is strange, how can it be tied here?" ”

Zou Yichen didn't answer his words, but also muttered to himself: "The average pastoral dog is less than two jun, but this pastoral dog is more than twice as large as other jackals." ”

"It seems to be thirsty," Zhining said.

Zou Yichen and Niu Er looked. At this time, the pastoral dog was tired of sticking out its tongue, panting and snoring like thunder, and hurriedly put its belly on the ground.

"It's like you want to drink water!" Zi Nan said.

"But where is the water now?" Zou Yichen looked at the two anxiously.

"I've got a water bag there," said Niule, glancing at the jackal again, and then added, "It's so unsafe here, you go with me to get the water bag, which is behind the two little mounds." After a while, I took it back and gave it water to drink, and it seemed that it was thirsty. So saying, the three of them trotted in the direction of the hemp rope ladder.

After a while, the three of them came back, Niu Er took out the water bag from the bamboo basket, peeled off a fresh bamboo shoot leaf, and poured water on the leaf with a "bang". The water on the leaves was gathered together, and Niu Er carefully placed it a foot away from the field dog, and said, "Good son, don't bite Daddy." Seeing the pastoral dog slowly raise his head, he was frightened, and he was afraid of being bitten by the dog and hurriedly jumped away.

The pastoral dog swayed to the bamboo shoot leaves, licked his tongue and purred the water, and after a while, the water had been drunk. Seeing that there was no water, it stared at Niu Er with bulging eyes. Niu Er looked at it and quipped to himself: "Good son, you know who your father is, come, father will add it to you." As he spoke, he walked to its voice, but he didn't expect to hear it make a warning sound of "woo" just a few steps away.

Niu Er said angrily: "Phew, you really don't know what to do. turned his face and didn't recognize his father, since this is the case, it is not difficult for your father to be for you. Dad drank the water himself. As he spoke, he poured it into his mouth in a big gulp, and some water even leaked from the corners of his mouth to his clothes.

The pastoral dog could only watch and let him do this.

Suddenly, there was an irregular walking sound on the side of the road.

Zou Yichen was very familiar with the sound of footsteps, and called softly: "Why did he come?" Where do I hide? I don't want him to see it. ”
