Chapter 45: The Temptation to Catch Chicken Stew
The three brothers of the Chen family did not dare to tell the truth, and in the face of Chen's mother's questioning, they could only say a few vague words.
"I went to take a bath in the weir pond, and the third child fainted when he saw the snake, and we didn't finish the bath, so we carried him back." The boss of the Chen family dodged his eyes, and quietly slapped the second child with his elbow after speaking.
The second child coughed a few times when he saw the opportunity, "That's right, I didn't have time to dry the clothes, mother, you better look at the third child, it seems that he is scared." ”
Mother Chen frowned angrily, looked at the unconscious third child, and screamed for a long time before slowly relieving herself.
But his eyes were sloppy, and he was listless. The family was terrified.
"Otherwise, call the village doctor over and take a look, and nothing will happen." Chen's mother worriedly instructed the boss of the Chen family.
"What is the village doctor, do you have the money to burn? He's just scared stupid, just give him a back announcement, and just call the soul back at night. ”
Chen's father saw that there was no big problem with the third child, so he refused to invite the village doctor, after all, it was a lot of money for the village doctor to come once.
Although the mother was worried, she had to listen to the man's words at home, so she had to follow Chen's father's intentions and tie up the announcement first.
Observe for a few days and see.
The three brothers of the Chen family learned a lesson, and thought of ways to rectify Wen Xiaoxing day and night to get back the lost face.
Kewen Xiaoxing hadn't taken these things to heart for a long time, she took Tian Dazhuang to look around the neighborhood but couldn't find a stone that could be used for cooking.
She stopped and scratched her head in wonder, it was also wild, and there was no variety of stone, why ancient people could live, but they didn't know where to start.
Are the teachers in history class all deceiving?
Wen Xiaoxing frowned suspiciously, the snake in her hand kept wriggling, but she couldn't escape from her palm.
Tian Dazhuang watched from the side, and the index finger in his mouth was about to bite and swallow.
"Xiaoxing, is the broth you just said made from this snake?" Tian Dazhuang asked as he swallowed his saliva.
"Hmm." Wen Xiaoxing nodded, looking around for a stone that could be used.
"Then what are we waiting for, hurry up!" Tian Dazhuang urged anxiously.
Wen Xiaoxing gave up with a long sigh, the wisdom of the ancients is strong, and it can't be discovered at this time.
It can only be given up temporarily.
But no matter how big this snake is, it is only a mouthful of meat, unless it encounters a snake spirit.
But if they do, I'm afraid that it will not be them who eat the snake, but the snake who will eat them.
Wen Xiaoxing looked at Tian Dazhuang in distress, and suddenly had an idea, "Da Zhuang, is this snake enough to eat at best?" ”
"It's not enough, I'll just drink soup, Xiaoxing eats meat." Tian Dazhuang looked at Wen Xiaoxing honestly.
Wen Xiaoxing paused for a moment, feeling warm in his heart, it was really rare to meet someone who was willing to give you meat.
"I have a way to get all of us meat, and that is if you want to contribute a chicken, I remember going to your house and seeing chickens at home."
Wen Xiaoxing eagerly walked to Tian Dazhuang's side and hinted.
Tian Dazhuang's happy face suddenly became nervous. He bit his lower lip and thought for a long time, but still hesitated, "Xiaoxing, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that those memories were raised by my mother, and I don't dare to catch the chickens at home." ”
He bowed his head silently, feeling a little cowardly. But what he said was also the truth, usually when the chicken loses a feather, Aunt Tian has to pull Tian Dazhuang to interrogate him for a long time.
If he couldn't find the fallen hair, Tian Dazhuang wouldn't be able to eat for a day.
Now I want to lose a chicken, but I am afraid that Tian Dazhuang will be stripped of a layer of skin alive.
As everyone knows, Tian's mother saved up the chicken feathers that fell and made a feather duster.
Seeing Tian Dazhuang's scared look, Wen Xiaoxing knew that he shouldn't tell him. But leaving the snake in your hand alone is a bit of a tyrannical thing.
So, Wen Xiaoxing persuaded him with kind words and persuaded Tian Dazhuang to commit crimes.
"Da Zhuang, I know that Aunt Tian feels sorry for the chicken, but you also feel sorry for your mother, right? Is the arm she dislocated last time okay? Wen Xiaoxing said on Tian Dazhuang's shoulder.
Tian Dazhuang gritted his fingers and thought for a while, "It doesn't seem to be good, I grit my teeth every time I see her holding something heavy, although she hides it from me." But I know it all. It's all useless to me. ”
He lowered his head with self-reproach, and Wen Xiaoxing kept patting comfortingly.
"Don't be sad, life at home is not good, and of course it can't be better without oil and water to replenish your body." Wen Xiaoxing frowned bitterly, "But it's different now, I caught this snake, it is the most nourishing, as long as you eat it, your mother will definitely be fine, if you add chicken, the taste is more than ten times more delicious than the pig's intestine." ”
Wen Xiaoxing slipped his mouth while explaining, and when Tian Dazhuang listened to the sound, he felt that the delicious snake soup chicken was right in front of him.
"This ......" Tian Dazhuang hesitated, "Okay, as long as my mother can be good, even if I am beaten, I will steal a chicken out." ”
Tian Dazhuang couldn't help the temptation of Wen Xiaoxing's food, and his heart was moved.
"Why do you want to steal your own things? You go back and explain to Aunt Tian well, and she will agree. Wen Xiaoxing shook his head.
stole his own things, so that Tian's mother was angry and knew that it was Wen Xiaoxing who was provoking, and she had to overturn the Wen family.
Tian Dazhuang was worried about the delicious broth and maintained his figure, so he agreed in a daze.
Seeing that the time was not early, Wen Xiaoxing didn't want to come out for too long, so Zhong Zizhu was worried and hurriedly grabbed the snake back to the village.
Tian Dazhuang stood in place and thought about the snake soup for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, Wen Xiaoxing had already walked far away, and he was almost at the entrance of the village.
He hurriedly chased after him, "Xiaoxing, why don't you tell me when you go back?" ”
"I was in a hurry to get home and forgot." Wen Xiaoxing smiled awkwardly, "By the way, call me next time you go hunting." ”
"Huh? Do you hunt? Tian Dazhuang looked at Wen Xiaoxing in surprise, "Did Aunt Wen let you go?" Will your sisters go with you? ”
When Wen Xiaoxing heard this, he hurriedly blocked Tian Dazhuang's mouth, but fortunately, there was no one else around, so he couldn't hear them.
Seeing Wen Xiaoxing's reaction, Tian Dazhuang was even more surprised.
"I can't tell my mother and a few sisters, otherwise I won't be able to go, I go hunting with you is a matter between the two of us, and it must be done in secret, and no third person can be allowed. You know? ”
Wen Xiaoxing glared at Tian Dazhuang and warned Tian Dazhuang seriously, he nodded suspiciously.
Tian Dazhuang frowned and couldn't figure out the reason why Wen Xiaoxing didn't tell his family, "There's nothing wrong with hunting." Why don't you tell Aunt Wen, if they don't agree, you don't want to go, they are worried. ”
Although he didn't know Wen Xiaoxing's purpose, Tian Dazhuang still didn't want Wen Xiaoxing to do something that worried his family.
had to persuade, but Wen Xiaoxing stubbornly discouraged, "No, you just take me, maybe I can help you, okay, okay?" ”
Tian Dazhuang persuaded again and again, but he couldn't resist Wen Xiaoxing's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and in the end, he didn't resist Wen Xiaoxing.
Then he nodded and agreed to take her with him to hunt, "I can take you there, but you have to obey my command, in case you have something wrong, I can't explain it." ”
"No problem, that's a good brother." Wen Xiaoxing happily patted Tian Dazhuang's shoulder.
I have to say that Tian Dazhuang is really in shape, Wen Xiaoxing felt that her arm was a little shaken and painful.
Wen Xiaoxing put his hands behind his back, trembling for a long time before he eased up.
Tian Dazhuang stared at the snake in Wen Xiaoxing's hand, and looked at the appearance of the spitting letter, and cold sweat broke out on his back,
He cautiously took a step back to dodge, and then stood on the other side of Wen Xiaoxing.
"Xiaoxing, you let you hunt with you, are you also going to hunt? Then you need to have the tools ready. Tian Dazhuang patted his head and reminded Wen Xiaoxing as if he had just woken up from a dream.
Wen Xiaoxing grabbed the snake in his hand again and didn't let it run away.
"No, I'm just going to pick herbs, and there are many strange medicines where fierce beasts appear, with you. You can do me a great favor. ”
Wen Xiaoxing simply told Tian Dazhuang the common sense of medicine collection, which was too deep, and with his honest appearance, he might not be able to fully understand.
The two talked as they walked, time creeping away behind them, and he was slowly sinking into the horizon.
Tian Dazhuang felt very happy talking with Wen Xiaoxing, deliberately slowed down, and forcibly interjected when he couldn't find a topic to talk about.
Even if Tian Dazhuang is unwilling, the distance from the weir pond to his home is limited, and even if a snail crawls, there is a time to reach the end.
"Okay, I'll go back first." Wen Xiaoxing pointed to the direction of home and said.
"It's quick, but I haven't drunk the broth yet." Tian Dazhuang pouted with some regret.
"Don't worry, I can keep this snake first, and when you catch the chicken, we will use it to stew soup, and it must be very fat by then." Wen Xiaoxing raised the snake in his hand and reminded again.
"Okay."
Tian Dazhuang reluctantly said goodbye to Wen Xiaoxing, turning back in three steps, and looking at one in five steps, just like a ten-mile long pavilion, making it like parting with life and death.
Wen Xiaoxing looked at Tian Dazhuang's appearance, feeling uncomfortable, and before he could turn around next time, he hurriedly ran away.
When Tian Dazhuang turned around again, he couldn't see Wen Xiaoxing, so he had to bow his head and go home silently.
Seeing that he was about to go home, Wen Xiaoxing remembered that he was still holding a snake in his hand, and bringing it home like this would definitely scare Zhong Zizhu half to death.
Even if they weren't afraid, seeing the snake in her hand would probably take a long time to interrogate.
You have to find a suitable place to raise the snakes.
Wen Xiaoxing thought about it, and there was only one place that was the safest.
So he came to a place where no one was around, turned and entered the space.
Fortunately, this space is quite complete, Wen Xiaoxing found a glass box and put the snake in it.
It seems that it is suddenly unaccustomed to this kind of transparent place, and crawls around in it, appearing restless.
So Wen Xiaoxing found some fake grass, regarded it as an outdoor environment, and put a little food into it.
"You're supposed to eat this, right?" Wen Xiaoxing leaned over and looked at the snake in the glass box.
The snake in the glass box squirmed a few times, then hid in the fake grass and closed its eyes motionlessly. Probably knowing that the turtle was already in the urn, there was no point in struggling.
Wen Xiaoxing smiled and smelled a smell on his body, remembering that it seemed to be a while since the last time he took a bath.
Anyway, when he came into the space, Wen Xiaoxing took advantage of this gap to take a hot bath quietly.
Wen Xiaoxing didn't see anyone for most of the day, and Zhong Zizhu was a little worried.
"Mother, you've been walking in front of me for most of the day, sit down and drink saliva." Wen Yixing put down the work in his hand and said.
"Xiaosi went to the weir pond to take a bath, but was dragged away by Da Zhuang, I'm worried that something will happen to her." Zhong Zizhu frowned and looked at the gate.
"It's okay, Xiao Si is so smart, even if she follows Da Zhuang, she will protect herself well." Wen Yixing forcibly pulled Zhong Zizhu to a stool and sat down.
"It's all you, it's okay to remind her to be with Da Zhuang, now it's okay, it's really bumped together, you crow's mouth." Zhong Zizhu was restless and began to blame Wen Yixing.
Wen Yixing wasn't angry, just smiled slightly, and handed the water to Zhong Zizhu, "Okay, it's all my fault, my mother drank the water first, I'll go find it." ”
Wen Yixing is now aware of Zhong Zizhu's reason for being nervous about Wen Xiaoxing, and he doesn't mutter in his heart, so he puts down the matter at hand and goes to Yantang to find Wen Xiaoxing.
Wen Xiaoxing, who was taking a hot bath, was about to fall asleep comfortably, and she simply forgot that there were people outside who were worried about her.
Tian Dazhuang returned home and stared at the chickens in the courtyard for a long time.
Tian Mu was puzzled, "I've already fed the chickens, what are you staring at them all the time?" ”
"I want to count how many of them there are? I don't know if I lose it. Tian Dazhuang looked at the chickens running around, and counted them several times but didn't count them.
"There are three of them, and I have everything at home."
