"Dogs? Liu Yuanjin? Guan Chongzheng was pondering what this dog had to do with people, but Chen Ping suddenly jumped down with a stride on the ditch, and smashed a stone at his head.

Guan Chong stretched out his hand to block it, but the little savings on his body were consumed when he moved out of the snowdrift, and he was easily pushed away by Chen Ping, and then his head hurt and he fainted.

This treacherous boy.

In the village, Chen Xiaoyi held a hoe and came to the east, looking anxious, and when he saw Chen Ping by the field canal, his expression relaxed a lot, but then he was angry.

"Such a big snowstorm, and there are thieves, what are you doing here?" After a few quarters of an hour without Chen Ping going back, Chen Xiaoyi thought that something had happened to Chen Ping, thinking that the county lieutenant was arresting the thief, so he came out in a panic to look for it.

"Build a snowman, Grandpa, how do you see my snowman? Isn't it huge. Chen Ping picked up a snowball on the ground, put it on the snowdrift on the side, gestured, poked two more holes in the snowball, picked up a piece of mud and embedded it underneath, and a snowman's head was like this.

Chen Xiaoyi looked at the snowman and swept the messy snow around him, which was mixed with dirt and potholes.

"That's what you're just doing?" Chen Xiaoyi was really angry at this time, turned the hoe, and the hoe rod hit Chen Ping's body, "Do you know that your mother was so anxious at home that she cried?" ”

Chen Ping bared his teeth, although there were clothes in the way, but it really hurt a little now.

"Got it, Grandpa, I'll go back." Chen Ping got out of the ditch, threw away a ball of snow in his hand, and ran back to the village.

In the hall of the house, Liu hugged the little lady, kept looking at the courtyard door, and saw Chen Ping running in from outside, so he put down the little lady, and without waiting for Chen Ping to shake off the snow on his body, he pulled him into the hall.

"Why did you run out on such a cold day? What if you are attacked by those thieves? Liu said while crying, his voice choked, and patted the snow on Chen Ping's body, "Your hands are so cold, go and warm up." ”

The snow melts when it falls to the ground.

"I'm fine, I saw that the snow was heavy, and I had nothing to do at home, so I went out for a walk and built a snowman." Chen Ping comforted, "The snow has fallen on the ground, I'll go out to shoot." ”

"If you want to play, it's in the yard." Liu pulled Chen Ping and didn't let him out, "It's here, it's cold outside." It hasn't been long since you've been sick with this cold, no, this body of clothes should be changed quickly. ”

How long has it been since the cold disease, it has been a few months, and Liu still remembers it.

The clothes on his body were not wet, and the person was not cold, but there was still a layer of sweat stains on his back, but Chen Ping still followed Liu's wishes and went to change into a set of clean clothes.

The snow only subsided at night, and Li Xianwei and others, who went to search for thieves in Liuhe Mountain, had not yet returned, and the horse puppets in the courtyard were snorting a few times, and a cloud of white gas came out.

After eating, Chen An stood by the side of the hall, staring at the horse tied to a wooden stake. After looking at it like this for a long time, Chen An suddenly hugged the little flower that was gnawing on the bone at his feet.

Stepping on the snow, Chen An slowly leaned behind the horse, and then pulled out the bone in Xiaohua's mouth and threw it to the stake.

"Little flower, go quickly, your bones are there." Chen An let go of Xiaohua, took two steps back, and watched quietly from the side.

There are still some tendons and flesh on the bones, Chen Ping specially gave them to Xiaohua, Xiaohua has grown a lot in a few months, but the teeth have not fully developed, it is no problem to gnaw chicken bones and fish bones, and it can only be molar teeth to deal with pork bones.

The pork bone has some meat on it, which can not only grind the teeth, but also eat the mouth, which is Xiaohua's favorite. This will be boneless, Xiaohua is unwilling.

barked at Chen An twice, and Xiaohua threw her legs and rushed towards the stake. After the snow, Xiaohua has short legs, and the posture of rushing over is a bit similar to jumping.

No matter how you look at it, there is a sense of joy.

But when he got closer, Ben was napping on the stake, and the horse, who was breathing white air, suddenly raised his hind legs and kicked back.

The snow that was raised sprinkled Chen An's body.

"That horse is dangerous, the living are unreliable, come back quickly." Liu hugged the little lady and shouted Chen An in the hall, then looked at the sky and said to Chen Ping, "It's so late, I'm afraid the county lieutenants won't come today, right?" ”

"The snow is not up to the knees, it is rare to see for more than ten years, and there are many forks in the dense forests in the mountains, so they may get lost in it." Chen Xiaoyi looked up at Liuhe Mountain, "Wait a minute, I won't see anyone for half an hour, I'll go to the chief to discuss." On such a cold day, an overnight stay in the forest is sure to cause an accident. ”

It was finally dark, and the horses in the courtyard were still on their stakes, but they were lying on their sides in the snow, with a rough breath in their nostrils. Xiaohua held the pork bone in her mouth, just by the stake, next to the horse's head, gnawing on the bones and bones, it was a little colder, but the smell was still there.

After two strokes, the horse's breath seemed to be heavier, disturbing Xiaohua to gnaw on the bones. The little flower on the side barked a few times, and the horse's head immediately turned to the side.

Chen Xiaoyi held a torch in one hand and an axe in the other, and went out to prepare to go to Xia Tu Village.

Chen Ping wanted to follow behind, but was stopped by Chen Xiaoyi: "Don't go, just stay at home." Your mother is a woman, and you have two small ones, and you need to take care of them. If you have something, I'll go to you Uncle Chen, you know? ”

"Let Uncle Hecai come over at home, it's so dark, I'll go with Grandpa." Four or five miles away, and there was such a heavy snowfall, Chen Ping didn't worry about Chen Hecai going alone, "The thief is not caught, I will follow and have a helper." ”

"They all fled into the mountains, how dare they come out, it's okay." Chen Xiaoyi said and lifted the axe in his hand, "With this self-defense, usually one or two people can fight, your grandfather also went into the mountains and caught dolphins when he was young." ”

After speaking, Chen Xiaoyi held a torch and went to the village to inform the chief.

"Brother, can I ride it now?" The light of the fire in the distance disappeared into the darkness, and Chen An came over and pointed to the horse lying on his side.

After half an hour of tossing, the horse was so tired that it not only didn't kick Xiaohua, but fell several times because of the slippery hooves.

"Don't move yet, wait for me to come and try." Chen Ping closed the courtyard door, asked Chen An to pull aside, and slowly leaned over, but the horse's head was just biased and did not say much.

Chen Ping didn't rush to step on the horse's back, but leaned sideways, picked up some rice from the ground with one hand, sent it to the horse's mouth, and gently stroked the horse's back with the other. After a while, Chen Ping threw the little rice he had left in his hand beside the horse's head, stepped on the horse's back, and then grabbed the saddle with both hands.

The horse's head shook and stood up, Chen Ping lowered his body, and his feet were put in the stirrups. Fortunately, the horse just writhed on the spot, chewing on the rice and not making too many movements.

"Brother come down, I'll go up too." Seeing this, Chen An shouted, came over and pulled the stirrups, and without waiting for Chen Ping to get off the horse, he thought about turning over.

Chen Ping didn't get off the horse, and stretched out his hand to pick up Chen An. didn't even ride a donkey, Chen Ping didn't dare to let Chen An be alone on horseback.

"Brother, you said you were going to buy me a horse. I'm going to Shangtu Village, and I need a horse. Touching the horse's mane and patting the horse's back again, Chen An reminded Chen Ping.

"Well, when you worship the Master, I'll buy it for you." Chen Ping nodded and looked to the west of the village, where there was a fire, "Grandpa, they're back, come down quickly." ”
