Soon, after a while, the sun was setting.

The grandfather, who was leaning on the locust tree to cool off, felt that the wind was a little cool and swishing, so he put his arms on the branches and stretched out for a long time, then put away his pipe and hung it around his neck, straightened up, and felt that it was time to go home.

Hu Doudou's grandfather is ready to go home.

At this time, Hu Doudou's uncle turned back and saw Hu Doudou's grandfather, so he hurriedly asked, "Dad, have you seen Hu Doudou?" ”

Hu Doudou's grandfather turned his face sharply and showed a surprised expression, "What did you say?" You went to the ditch to look for it, and there is no news of this baby? ”

Hu Doudou's uncle nodded dejectedly.

No more talking.

Hu Doudou's grandfather picked out the ear holes with his fingers, and then said slowly, "That's it, go back first, where is this baby likely on the plateau." Let's go back first. ”

After that, he left first.

Hu Doudou's uncle felt more and more uneasy in his heart, he did not go back, but came to the bottom of the large locust tree where Hu Doudou's grandfather had sit, and leaned against the tree pole to start a stupid start.

"This baby may have accidentally fallen into something!"

"If this baby has any three long and two short, how can I explain it to his mother!"

"Although the baby is already gone, she explained it very clearly when she left!"

"Oh my God! What can I do now? ”

"Oh my God! Why is my dad like he doesn't have that anymore? ”

“……”

……

……

In the woods.

Hu Doudou's grandmother saw that it was getting late, so she couldn't care so much, and was ready to launch a general attack on the dense thorns on Hu Doudou's hands.

"Doudou!" Hu Doudou's grandmother suddenly said, "You are ready, I am starting to speed up now!" ”

At this time, Hu Doudou was stunned for a moment.

"Uh, me, I'm not ready!"

Hu Doudou hurriedly swallowed the walnuts that he had bitten open with his teeth.

Then, not without anxiety, he said, "Does it hurt?" ”

When Hu Doudou's grandmother heard Hu Doudou's tone, she thought that he might be afraid, so she hurriedly comforted, "No, it doesn't hurt, in fact, it's like an injection, have you ever had an injection?" It's fine, uh, like the pain of being bitten by a mosquito. ”

"So, what will happen if the thorn in my hand is not pulled out?" Hu Doudou said on a whim.

"Your hands will get swollen and swollen, and eventually you won't be able to hold anything." Hu Doudou's grandmother said with a smile.

"Will it be—amputation!" Hu Doudou asked tremblingly.

"Ugh! You little bunny, how did you come up with this? ”

Hu Doudou smiled very weakly, and his grandmother's brain was excited, so she echoed, "Amputation!" If you don't obey and don't pull out the thorns on your hands, you will have to amputate your limbs! ”

Finally, Hu Doudou stopped smiling and stood very seriously, carefully extending his hand to his grandmother.

"Grandma, you must pull out the thorns in my hand, I don't want to amputate my leg!"

"Of course Grandma will! My Doudou will not be amputated, Doudou can rest assured! ”

After a while, Hu Doudou almost forgot that he would have his leg amputated if he didn't get it right.

"Grandma, why are your walnuts so round? Besides, it's so big, why have I never seen it before? ”

At this time, Hu Doudou's grandmother was so busy that she almost forgot the time, where could she notice the small things about Hu Doudou's sesame seeds?

She slowly and very carefully helped Hu Doudou pull out the thorns in her hand, and she didn't dare to move too fast, for fear that Hu Doudou would hurt to pull out.

"Uh, Grandma!"

Hu Doudou exclaimed curiously.

"Huh? Are you calling me? Hu Doudou's grandmother suddenly reacted.

Hu Doudou repeated what he had just said.

"Oh," replied Hu Doudou's grandmother smugly, "this walnut, uh, that's a long story!" It's not your average walnut. ”

"Which kind of is that?"

"Okay, Doudou is good, let's not ask so much about it, and grandma will tell you when we get home."

Hu Doudou felt strange, "Why can't you talk about it now?" ”

"Because it's too late," said Hu Doudou's grandmother without raising her head, "I don't know if you have noticed, it's getting dark now, and it's still a few kilometers to go home?" ”

"So, what happens if you go back late?"

"Ugh!" Hu Doudou's grandmother's tone suddenly became serious, "If you go back late, you, your grandfather will scold and beat people!" ”

"Well, do you mean that tall, lanky old man with a pipe around his neck?"

"Who do you say is the old man?" Hu Doudou's grandmother suddenly became stern.

Hu Doudou was so frightened that he stopped talking.

"Ahh Beanie! You have to listen to your grandmother, and when you go home, you must not call him an old man casually! ”

"Why?"

Hu Doudou stared at his grandmother curiously.

"Don't you know? He's fierce in the afternoon and wants to reach out and hit you, right? ”

Hu Doudou nodded.

"Then, if you call him an old man, he will really beat you! If he gets angry, he won't just use his hands, he'll hit you with whatever he picks up! ”

Hu Doudou finally understood, "That means that if he goes back late, will he also beat people?" ”

"Yes! Your grandfather will mumble a few words to you, and when he sees that you ignore him, he will suck it in front of you with a lot of energy, and when he sees that you are not pleasing to the eye, he will hit you in the mouth......"

When Hu Doudou heard this, he suddenly felt creepy.

Oh my! In that case, how am I going to go home? No, I'm not going home at all.

When Hu Doudou was dumbfounded, his grandmother saw it.

"Doudou, you don't have to worry," Hu Doudou's grandmother's attitude changed abruptly, and she said softly:

"You don't know, your grandfather likes brave children very much, of course, he prefers obedient and sensible children to bravery, especially polite children.

Didn't Grandma just say that? When you meet, you have to say hello to people, everyone has a title, if it is brother, it is called brother, if it is uncle, it is called uncle, if it is grandpa, it is called grandpa, or grandpa, or grandpa.

In short, don't act like a fool when you meet, don't say a word, don't call uncle, don't call grandpa or anything.

Your grandfather loved children like that.

Got it? ”

"Uh-huh, I know, Grandma."

Hu Doudou no longer had any worries, because he didn't think those things were a big deal.

And now, he suddenly cares about whether the children in Zhaojia Village like to play the game of rolling walnut nests.

He felt that as long as he had such a big round walnut like a glass bead, he would be confident enough to win all the walnuts in the pockets of other children and fall into his pocket.

Hu Doudou played the game of walnut nest and imagined it in his brain for a while, and then asked his grandmother quite curiously:

"Grandma, I want to ask you something?"

"Well, what's the matter, you just say it."

"Are there any children in your village playing the game of rolling walnut nests?"

"Of course! There are a lot of children, and those children climb in the canal every day to play, and they forget to eat and drink......"

"Uh-oh."

Hu Doudou secretly rejoiced, "Then what kind of walnuts do they use?" ”

"Well, of course their walnuts are all flat kinds, like crooked melons and cracked dates, none of them are as round as the grandmother gave you, and they are very big, and they taste very good."

"Do you have any walnuts?"

"Well, I have a lot of walnuts, but I only give them to obedient children. Whoever is disobedient, I will not give it to anyone! ”

“……”

In this way, soon, Hu Doudou's grandmother finished pulling out the thorns on Hu Doudou's hand.

At this time, the grove began to be gloomy, as if it were already night.

"Let's go, Doudou, let's go, let's go back quickly."

Hu Doudou walked side by side with his grandmother, and with each step, there was a rustle of grass and leaves under his feet.

For a moment, Hu Doudou jumped up in fright, thinking that the snake was at his feet.

"Ahh

"Don't be afraid!" Hu Doudou's grandmother comforted, "Are you afraid of snakes? Oh, don't worry, I have realgar on my feet! ”

"Realgar?"
