Hu Doudou slowly, little by little, tilted his head over, "Uh, no, it's not like a tree!" ”

At this time, Hu Doudou's grandmother looked at it and found that it didn't look like a walnut tree at all, but really like the giant and monster that Hu Doudou said.

"Really! Doudou," said Hu Doudou's grandmother, laughing and crying, "because it's night, what you see is just what you imagine in your brain."

If you wait until dawn, you'll see, oh, that's what it is! ”

……

In this way, after Hu Doudou's grandmother's explanation, Hu Doudou finally let go of his hanging heart.

He began to talk to his grandmother in the image of a tree.

"Grandma, why is that tree so big?"

"Ho! Don't you even ask how old it is now? ”

"How old are you?"

"Well," said Hu Doudou's grandmother, suddenly excited, for she liked to tell stories about walnut trees to others, but few people wanted to hear them.

For example, when she told He He, He He always shook his head, not listening well, but humming and chirping to ask her for walnuts to eat.

For example, when she told Miao Miao, Miao Miao would say, "Grandma, I don't like to hear the story of the walnut tree, I like to hear the story of my grandfather who rescued you from the wolf's mouth." ”

Now, Hu Doudou's grandmother felt that it was time to speak, after all, Hu Doudou had heard it for the first time.

"Doudou, you don't know, that walnut tree is almost sixty years old by now!"

"How old is sixty?"

"Sixty? Well, sixty years old is as old as your grandmother. ”

"Oh."

"Think about it, Doudou, how old are you? You're seven years old, aren't you, and when you're sixty, you'll be like your grandmother and I have now, with silver hair, hunched over, and wrinkled faces. ”

Hu Doudou probably knows what it means to be sixty years old.

Next, Hu Doudou didn't know what to ask, but it didn't matter if he asked or not, Hu Doudou wanted to know where his tenth grandfather's cave was.

He wanted to go and see, and maybe he could say hello to his tenth grandfather and make friends or something.

"Doudou," Hu Doudou's grandmother continued, "do you want to hear the story of the walnut tree?" ”

"Walnut trees?" Hu Doudou wiped the itch on his nose and said curiously, "What's the story of the walnut tree?" ”

Hu Doudou knows that a person has a story, but he has never heard of a walnut tree and a story.

"The walnut tree has its story," said Hu Doudou's grandmother, who reached out and gently stroked Hu Doudou's long messy hair, sighed softly.

"Doudou, when your grandmother and I see this walnut tree, I can't help but think of some things when I was a child."

Hu Doudou didn't want to hear his grandmother tell him any story about the walnut tree, but he thought his grandmother was very kind, because he liked it very well when his grandmother stroked his hair with her hands.

For Hu Doudou, it felt like he was tickling, and not only that, but it also gave him an indescribable sense of security.

"The walnut tree's hometown is in Henan," Hu Doudou's grandmother continued, "just like your hometown is in Yonghe Village......

When your grandmother and I were young, our family was quite wealthy, because my father grew walnut orchards.

But later, it happened to catch up with the famine years, and the people in the whole village had nothing to eat or drink, and for a while, they all panicked.

When the people were hungry, they were hungry, and they ate what little food they had, and it was not enough to fill their stomachs, and at last they even ate all the seeds, but without the seeds, ......"

At this time, Hu Doudou was about to fall asleep, but he couldn't sleep soundly when he was standing.

"Hey, Beanie!" Hu Doudou's grandmother suddenly reminded her, "Are you asleep?" ”

"I, I'm not asleep." Hu Doudou hurriedly responded.

"Ho, I heard you snoring!"

"I didn't sleep, Grandma."

"Doudou, grandma knows that you don't like the story of the walnut tree, well, since you don't like it, forget it, grandma won't force you to listen to it."

Hu Doudou's grandmother was obviously a little lost.

Hu Doudou realized this, so he encouraged him, "Grandma, you can talk about it, I'll listen." ”

Hu Doudou's grandmother knew that Hu Doudou actually didn't like to hear it, so she just said that, so she changed the topic again, "Doudou, grandma just asked you to count how many caves there are, have you counted them?" ”

When Hu Doudou heard this, he was silent, and since he saw the walnut tree like a monster, he was so frightened that he had been shrinking in his grandmother's arms, how could he have the heart to count the things in the cave.

Hu Doudou was curious again, and he wanted to know how many caves there were in this courtyard.

"Hehe, I know, you didn't count. But, Doudou, do you want to know how many are inside? ”

"Grandma, how many are there?"

"There are actually five caves in this courtyard."

"Oh?" Hu Doudou asked curiously, "So, where is the other cave?" ”

"Right behind this walnut tree," Hu Doudou's grandmother said mysteriously, "because the tree is so big, the ancient kiln is completely covered."

But, just right, your grandmother, I don't have to worry about someone standing here looking at what's in the kiln. ”

At this time, Hu Doudou suddenly thought, "Grandma, does my tenth grandfather live there?" ”

"That's right."

"Who does he live with?"

"He's alone."

"Alone? Isn't he afraid? ”

"Hehe, he's not afraid, your tenth master is a powerful person, even your grandfather has to give him three miles!"

"So, will he hit someone?"

"No, no, don't beat people, although your tenth master is powerful, he doesn't beat people at every turn like your grandfather, he doesn't beat people."

"Then what did he fight?"

"Well, grandma means that your tenth master is a reasonable person, and he won't do anything to people casually."

"Oh, that. Grandma, can we go in and say hello to him and borrow his kang to sleep? ”

"Huh?"

Hu Doudou's grandmother was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then hurriedly explained, "Your tenth master is no longer here!" ”

"So, where did he go?"

"He's going," Hu Doudou's grandmother thought for a while, and felt that saying this at night might make Hu Doudou even more afraid, so she said euphemistically, "Your tenth master went back to his hometown in Henan to hunt." ”

"Oh, and when is he coming back?"

As soon as Hu Doudou blurted out, he felt that he didn't ask the point, so. "I, I mean, then, how do we get in?" ”

"The door is open," Hu Doudou's grandmother reacted quickly, knowing what Hu Doudou wanted to know every second, "We just need to go in and sleep." ”

"Oh."

"Alright, let's go now."

"Let's go? Where to go? ”

Hu Doudou thought that his grandmother was going to a strange place again, so he couldn't do it because he was tired.

His legs, his feet, his neck, his waist...... I feel like everything on my body is sore, and everything hurts. Sore and painful.

"Go to your tenth master's kiln!"
