Chapter 112: The Past of Childhood
Xiaoxi's residence is a small thatched hut, which is not big, only a table and a bed, very simple, but the mother and son live very happily, Xiaoxi's original name is Huanhuan, and she got married very early, but unfortunately, her husband died early, and the newborn child also died unfortunately.
She originally wanted to die like this, with her husband and children, but just when she wanted to commit suicide by throwing herself into the river, a baby fell from the sky and fell in front of her, she had just lost her child, so she took this child as her own child, and brought it back to raise, although others said that it was an ominous child, but she did not believe it, and even did not hesitate to exchange her own blood for his blood, so that he would not be as crazy as before.
This is more than a year.
"Little Haozi, it's time to eat. β
Xiao Xi was busy for a long time, and brought a bowl of boiled milky white animal milk to Xiao Haozi, Xiao Haozi had a great appetite, scooped up and ate little by little with a small spoon, Xiao Xi was eating some simple wild vegetables and not much meat on the side, her family had no man to go out to hunt, she could only rely on her own to grow some vegetables and help others wash clothes in exchange for some meat, the people in the village were already very generous, and gave their mother and son more meat every time.
Xiao Xi stretched out his somewhat thin little hand and touched the little head of Xiao Haozi, who was eating a lot, and sighed slightly in his heart, Xiao Haozi is getting older and bigger now, and the amount of food is getting bigger and bigger, and now he is still eating animal milk, if he grows up, he will eat meat, if the meat is not enough to eat, then how can his body grow? Is it possible to be as thin as himself?
"Mother, what are you thinking?" Xiao Haozi was very smart, and he could also sense that something was wrong with Xiao Xi, and asked.
Xiao Xi shook her head and showed a gentle smile: "It's okay, eat more, grow up quickly." β
"Well, when Xiao Haozi grows up, Xiao Haozi will go to the mountains to catch a lot of meat for his mother!"
Xiao Haozi waved his tender white little arms excitedly, Xiao Xi was also a little more relaxed, looking at him happily, his heart was also warmer, no longer thinking about that, big deal, in the future, he will eat less, do more work, how to raise Xiao Haozi.
Xiao Haozi fell asleep directly when he was full, he seemed to sleep at least half of the time of the day, or even more, Xiao Xi didn't feel strange, after all, children are snooze, Xiao Xi went to plant vegetables after packing up his things, the deserted village is not big, and planting vegetables can only be planted a little outside the village.
And what she didn't notice was that whenever she went out, Xiao Haozi's body emitted a moist light, flickering slightly on his chest, as if something was inside, and there was also a thin slit on his forehead, and there was a bottomless darkness inside, as if he was looking outside.
Of course, Xiao Haozi is also unaware.
"Tsk!"
On the deserted village, there are fierce birds passing over from time to time, and a woman with a tiger's back and a bear's waist on the side of Xiaoxi looked at the fierce birds that flew into the mountains, and couldn't help muttering: "There are too many fierce birds recently, and my family is also cautious when they go into the mountains to hunt, and even the fierce beasts in the mountains refuse to come out, and the fierce beasts caught recently are also a lot less." β
"yes, Huzi, that's what my family says, or isn't there something strange in the mountains?" said another woman.
Aunt Hu shook her head and said, "I don't know, but the mother-in-law of our family said that this mountain range is close to the Wind Spirit Valley, and it is only a few dozen miles away from the Wind Spirit Valley. β
"Really? That's not good. β
"Yes, after all, the Xingyao Dynasty that sheltered our deserted village is no longer protecting us, and now, we can only rely on the village to sacrifice spirits. β
The crowd had different opinions, and they talked while working.
Soon, the scorching sun was in the sky, approaching the great heat, and the weather was also hot to death, and those women were also sunburned, so they hid under the big tree to rest a little, and they were also chattering.
"Mother. β
A childish milk voice caught their attention, and they looked over, and a child who had not yet walked was staggering over with a scoop of water about the size of his body, filled with water, he was very pink, and looked very cute, and the scorching sun did not tan him half a minute, unlike the other children in the village with wheat-colored skin, he walked staggeringly, but his hands were very steady, and he did not let the water spill out.
"Little Haozi. β
Xiaoxi saw that it was her own child who came out, and hurriedly went over to pick him up, and said distressed and a little annoyed: "You child, don't sleep at home, what are you going to dry in?"
"Mother, drink water. β
Xiao Haozi's immature cry directly extinguished a little fire in Xiao Xi's original heart, looking at her who was heartless and smiling, and grinning at her who brought water to herself, how could she get angry?
She came to sit under the tree with Xiao Haozi in her arms, but Xiao Haozi still held the water and said reluctantly: "Mother, drink water." β
"Okay, good, mother-in-law, mother-in-law. β
Xiao Xi took the scoop of water, took a sip slowly, and said with a smile to Aunt Hu on the side: "Xiao Xi, you have a good boy, since he can walk, I'm afraid he has sent you water many times, right?" Alas, if that one in my family were so sensible, how much worry would I have to spare! Xiao Haozi, why don't you get some water for your Aunt Tiger? Aunt Tiger is also thirsty!"
This made Xiao Haozi embarrassed, he scratched his head embarrassedly, and said in a milky voice: "I, I can only take one water scoop, and the other, the other, can't take it, it's ......"
"Poof!"
"Hahaha!"
The others couldn't help but laugh when they saw Xiao Haozi's cute appearance, and Xiao Haozi was even more embarrassed at this time, hiding behind Xiao Xi, just poking out half of his little head to look at them, and there was a little shyness in his big eyes.
Another short and thin woman didn't know if it was unintentional or not, but said with a smile: "Now Xiao Haozi is really sensible and cute, but he is not like the crazy and crazy appearance that he just came here before, and he lifted the roofs of other people." It's not like a blood-seeded demon child at all. β
As soon as he heard the words Blood Seed Demon Child, Xiao Haozi's face withered when he left, and he was a little sad, it seemed that everyone was angry that he was a Blood Seed Demon Child, and he still remembered it.
"Ergouzi his mother!" Aunt Hu looked at it, her round eyes glared directly at the woman, and Ergouzi and his mother also realized that she had said the wrong thing, so she immediately shut up.
The atmosphere under the big tree froze all of a sudden, no one was easy to speak, it made Xiao Haozi's heart hurt, and it also touched Xiao Xi's wound, although they hated Xiao Haozi before, but what, he was just a child, still young, their thoughts were not so complicated, not that he was a blood demon child, since that time, Xiao Haozi has never been crazy, looks so cute and sensible, and has always respected them Xiao Haozi, every time they see them, they are an uncle and aunt, how can they still be angry? When he was naughty when he was young, he was already relieved.
Xiao Xi didn't have any expression on his face, but his little hand kept touching Xiao Haozi's little brain axe to comfort him.
"What, Xiao Haozi, don't take it to heart, we are joking, laughing. β
Aunt Tiger first opened her mouth to comfort her, and the second dog and his mother also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, look at me when I open my mouth, I really owe it!"
Xiao Haozi shook his head, his eyes were gloomy, but he still mustered up the courage to say, "Aunt Tiger...... When I came here before...... What is it like? Can you tell Xiao Haozi?"
He is not stupid, even smart and scary, he has long known that he is not Xiaoxi's biological child, and he knows that he picked it up, but he doesn't care, Xiaoxi regards him as her real child, and he will be regarded by her as his mother.
Aunt Tiger didn't dare to speak, for fear of making this little guy cry again.
"Xiao Haozi, when you first came, you were still very weak and weak, it was the people in the village who have been raising you and taking care of you to raise you, and when you grow up, you have to repay those uncles and aunts who have taken care of you, you know?"
Xiao Xi spoke first, but what he said made the other aunts look a little ashamed, they didn't take good care of their mother and son at first, and even excluded his mother and son because Xiao Haozi was a blood demon child, until the old village chief, that is, Hu Fei's mother-in-law spoke, everyone was a little reluctant to help, until later, Xiao Haozi grew up, they saw such a cute and sensible, and knew that they respected their bad aunts, they liked this cute little guy, and then volunteered to help their mother and sonγ
And Xiaoxi taught this little Haozi to be sensible since he was a child, let him know to respect others, be grateful to those who have helped them, and do not hold a grudge against them, uncles and aunts who used to be disgusted with them.
Xiao Haozi raised his head, tears rolled in his eyes, flattened his small mouth, and said aggrievedly: "But they all said that Xiao Haozi was an unknown blood demon child, and that Xiao Haozi was crazy when he first came, and almost demolished the village." β
"No, that's just Xiao Haozi's naughty, how can it be so exaggerated. Xiao Xi smiled and comforted, "Who hasn't been naughty? Your brother A Leopard turned the village upside down when he was a child, and you were not the only one who was naughty when he was a child, Xiao Haozi has grown up, and now he won't be naughty, right?"
Seeing this situation, Aunt Tiger on the side also hurriedly interjected: "Yes, yes, my family's A Leopard and a Tiger were also very skinny when they were children, and they also barked at the big yellow dog in the east of the village, not to mention Duopi!"
"yes, yes, my family is too, it's so skinny, sometimes I want to beat him up!"
"Beat him! He's too skinny! My tiger girls are often beaten by me, and if they don't beat, they won't be obedient!"
"Yes, yes!"
It seems that when it comes to the children of each family, they are also energetic, and they can't finish talking, and they soon forget about this matter, only Xiao Haozi, who is hiding behind his mother, listens carefully to the troubles of those brothers and sisters when they were young, and has been buried deep in their hearts.
After the break, they also started to work, Xiao Haozi sat under the big tree, bored, and began to play with the big yellow dog that walked over, the big yellow dog ran away when he saw that it was the ancestor, and its hairless tail was confiscated by the little ancestor!
Xiao Haozi babbled and chased the big yellow dog, chased most of the village, made the chickens fly and the dogs jumped, the rhubarb barked constantly, the old people in the village saw this every day to happen are tired of it, watching the little Haozi babbling and chasing the big yellow dog to play, it is also very interesting.
At sunset, there is a sunset left, which should be in the deserted village, and the women in the village have also finished their work and are ready to go home.
"We're back from hunting, everyone!"
A thick and excited voice spread throughout the deserted village, and the women who were just about to go back also consciously went to the village when they heard this voice, and a group of children followed them with a whoow cry when they heard it.
"Xiao Haozi, let's go, Uncle they're back from hunting, let's go and share some meat. Xiao Xi shouted in the distance to Xiao Haozi, who was still playing with the big yellow dog.
"Oh, here we go!"
Xiao Haozi heard his mother's call, and also replied, and then Bai Shengsheng's little hand dragged the loveless big yellow dog and staggered over.
"You, go and grab the rhubarb again, and the rhubarb hair has been pulled away by you. Xiao Xi looked at the loveless big yellow dog dragged by Xiao Haozi, and couldn't help laughing, don't look at the big yellow dog, sitting is half taller than Xiao Haozi, but Xiao Haozi has a lot of strength, often dragging the big yellow dog around the village, and the hair on his body has been scratched off a lot, and the big yellow dog is also desperate and helpless.
"Well, I'll let it go. β
Xiao Haozi let go of his hand in a daze, and when the big yellow dog saw that it could be liberated, he immediately ran away, without looking back, as if he had gone out of hell on earth.
Xiao Xi picked up Xiao Haozi and followed the others to the entrance of the village.
"Wow, that's a lot of prey!"
"That's a lot!"
A cry of exclamation sounded at the head of the village, and a huge fierce beast and beast were piled up all over the village, including a dragon elephant with a size of ten zhang, a big python with fierce attack power, and a red-whiskered tiger and so on.
"Why are there so many beasts and beasts this time?"
Hu Fei's mother-in-law bent her waist almost facing the ground, crutches, and the wrinkles on her face that could kill flies revealed a pair of small eyes, looking at this pile of mountains as prey, her eyes were very surprised, these fierce beasts are full of attack power, especially dragon elephants, with a pair of big teeth and that huge and hard as iron body, very short-tempered, it takes a lot of effort to catch them on weekdays, and they are injured to death, because they will use their big teeth to hit the flying man or directly step on the dead person, so they generally hunt and will not target this kind of large fierce beastγ
But today there are several of them, and the people who went hunting are unscathed.
As the leader, Ah Hu, who is also the son of Hu Fei's mother-in-law, said: "It's strange to say, when we entered the mountain range, it was full of fierce beasts that had just died, and there were so many big footprints in the mountain range. β
"Have you ever seen where those footprints went?" asked Granny Hufei.
Ah Hu replied: "It should be over there in the Wind Spirit Valley, today we also saw a lot of big fierce birds flying out of it and flying back, the footprints on the ground are all messy, and it is not just a big fierce beast." β
"Sure enough, something happened to the Wind Spirit Valley......
Hu Fei's mother-in-law whispered, and then said: "Then don't go out again for half a month, these prey are enough for us to eat for more than a month, maybe something will happen outside, no one is allowed to go out, each family is optimistic about their children." β
"Got it. The others replied.
"Mother-in-law Hu Fei, is something happening over there in Wind Spirit Valley?" someone couldn't help but ask.
Hu Fei's mother-in-law guessed: "It may be that there is something great about the mountain treasure that has appeared, and it is very likely that it will not be peaceful recently." β
Ah Xiong, who was as strong as him, touched his chin and said, "Shanbao, it's rare to see in a thousand years, no wonder so many big forces and fierce beasts have rushed over." Isn't it a mother-in-law, why don't we join in the fun? Maybe we can catch some treasures. β
"There are too many strong people gathered there, we go, and if others don't go well, they may destroy us, so let's stay in the village honestly and pray for the blessing of the spirits!"
"I know, I know!" Seeing that Hu Fei's mother-in-law was angry, Ah Xiong, who was as strong as a cow, also hurriedly admitted his mistake.
"Okay, there are so many prey today, let's also come to worship the spirit once, so as to ask the spirit to bless my village!"
