Chapter 23: The Ugly Companion (2)
The old lady's hand trembled and stroked Dong Li's face.
Suddenly withdrew her hand, she said, "Lu'er, follow your son-in-law and take good care of him." If he is disobedient, use this cane to teach him, do you understand? ”
"Understood!"
Dong Lu took the crutches from the old lady's hand and glanced at Dong Li secretly. Sure enough, Dong Li's face showed a bitter color. Dong Lu smiled at him, which meant to say: Young master, don't worry, Lu'er won't use it to crush you.
"Big sister!"
Dong Yu hurriedly stepped forward, "Grandma, what are your orders?" ”
"I'll leave it to you, ugly, give me a good look at him. At such an age, I don't know how to control myself at all, and go crazy with that crazy girl...... Let's just talk about you. The old lady scolded with a smile: "Four girls, go and bring that thing." ”
Dong Yuan answered, turned around and left.
After a while, she came over with a large knife of great length in her hand. The sword is too long, and the handle is two feet longer than the hilt of an ordinary sword. The blade is thick, only the blade has a double edge, and the back side of the knife is made into a spike shape, which can hook the enemy and slash.
This big knife is different from the weapons that Dong Li has ever seen, it doesn't seem to be light, and Dong Yuan has to hold it with both hands.
The old lady said, "This broad-bladed knife is a weapon that your mother brought from the Qiang Department when she married your father. It is said to be a national heirloom treasure of a certain country in the Western Regions, weighing forty-nine pounds. She won't give you this knife because she wants to sit on the ranch, so I will give you this knife, I hope you will like it...... Your uncle is old, so he won't go with you. Stay with me and give it to you when you can use it. He said he was going home to retire...... The rest is kept by Lu'er. Well, everything that needs to be said has been said. Four girls, let's go back...... Big sister, it's time for you to leave. ”
Dong Yuan handed the broad-bladed knife to Dong Li, pushed the old lady, and walked away surrounded by everyone.
Dong Li's eyes were red.
He had long known that his grandmother was not an ordinary person, but he didn't expect to be separated from his grandmother one day.
The old lady is not simple, she just walks away, and she does not drag the mud and water at all. The group gradually walked away, Dong Li suddenly remembered something, turned over and chased after him, "Fourth sister!" ”
Dong Yuan stopped, pouted and said, "What are you doing?" ”
"Take good care of the craftsmen you gave me. It's important to give them a fixed salary every month. Besides, show them to death, those drawings and things in my study must not be circulated. If those craftsmen are dishonest, don't be polite. Fourth sister, remember my words, you must never forget! ”
Dong Yuan didn't understand what Ah Ugly meant, but she remembered it in her heart.
It's just that Ah Chou is leaving, and there will be no one to play with her in the future, so she feels uncomfortable, and pouts at the moment and says, "What's the benefit?" ”
Dong Yan smiled and said softly: "When I come back, I will bring you a good mastiff." ”
"Deal!"
Dong Yan knelt down to the old lady again and kowtowed three times, "Grandma, Ugly is gone, you have to take care of your body." ”
With that, he turned on his horse, whipped his horse and drove away.
The old lady sat in the car, standing still. Dong Yuan looked at it, but was taken aback. The old lady's face had two lines of turbid tears.
******
At dawn, Dong Yan followed the team listlessly.
He was in a bad mood, and everyone could tell from his face, so they all hid away.
The only people who can talk to Dong Li are Dong Yu and Dong Lu. However, they understood Dong Li's mood and didn't bother him, but just paid attention to him from afar.
Farther and farther away from the ranch, Dong Li's heart was empty.
It turns out that the feeling of leaving home is so uncomfortable. In his previous life, he had no home, so he could be carefree. But now, he has a home, a grandmother and sister who love him, and there will inevitably be concerns in his heart.
I feel at home and I am very happy; But the pain of leaving home is also very painful.
Dong Yan rubbed his cheeks with a blow, and suddenly shouted at the sky.
Everyone is looking at him, and they don't know what kind of madness this son is.
I always feel as if I've forgotten something. Dong Li finished shouting, scratching his head and preparing to greet Dong Lu. In the distance, a horse neighed like the howl of a wild beast. The whole team was in chaos at once, followed by the sound of horses' hooves like thunder.
A black steed emerged from the horizon behind him, approaching at lightning speed.
Golden horsehair that shimmers in the sun. Dong Yan jumped off the war horse and shouted: "Ugly, I'm here!" ”
Yes, Lionmane!
Dong Li said in his heart: How did I forget it?
It's been more than half a year dealing with the lion's mane. Although the competition is constant every day, Dong Li has not really defeated it, but the feelings in this cannot be described in words.
In the blink of an eye, the lion-mane beast rushed in front of Dong Li.
It stopped suddenly, screamed violently, its front hooves rose into the air, and then collapsed in front of Dong Li.
The horse's head came towards Dong Li fiercely, and Dong Li was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground by the lion's mane beast. Beigong Bo exclaimed, took out his bow and arrows, and was about to shoot at the lion-mane beast. Dong Yu stopped him, shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry, it's okay...... They're making out. Hehe, I didn't expect Ugly to go, but let Ugly stay with him forever. ”
Uncle Beigong didn't understand, but his wife said that it was okay, so it must be fine.
The lion-mane beast put its head on Dong Li's chest, purring as if complaining about something.
Dong Li lay on his back with his face facing the sky, holding the huge head of the lion-mane beast, and suddenly laughed.
"Ugly, I'm leaving...... Are you coming with me? ”
The lion-mane beast raised its head, and after a few turns around Dong Li, it suddenly bent down and prostrated beside Dong Li.
Dong Li was stunned and didn't understand.
In the distance, Dong Tie said loudly: "Master, it's for you to ride on!" ”
Ride on? Dong Li looked at the lion-mane beast in amazement, a little unable to react. You know, he didn't defeat the Lionmane.
"Silly brother, the divine beast is spiritual, and it is more bloody. If you treat it well, it will recognize you a long time ago. If it doesn't approve of you, it won't give in even if you win it. Congratulations, my silly brother, you got its approval. ”
I got it recognized?
In Dong Li's heart, there is an indescribable sense of happiness echoing.
After half a year, he finally got the approval of the lion-mane beast. Looking at the lionmane's ugly face, he laughed out loud and hugged the lionmane's head.
"Ugly, do you finally approve of me? Hahaha, I'm so happy, so happy, Ugly recognized me! ”
Seeing a person and a horse hugging each other, Dong Yu's eyes couldn't help but turn red with emotion.
Turning his head to look, Dong Lu cried into a tearful person. It's hard to understand, but it's extraordinarily sincere.
"Beigong, look at Ugly, you really look like a fool."
Dong Yu said, and also shed tears.
Fools? Perhaps, but if I could also get the approval of the lion-mane, I'd rather be a fool for the rest of my life.
At this moment, all the Qiang people had such a thought, and looked at Dong Yan with great envy, as well as his ugly.
