Chapter 156: Cold Food Goes to the Grave
The next day, as soon as the rooster crowed, Wen Shu got up, put on her coat, and tiptoed open the door and went to the kitchen.
In the corner of the kitchen, the fat stealing bird, who was napping with squinting eyes on his stomach, heard the movement, and immediately stood up with his hair on end, and howled at Wen Shu who came in.
However, the bird's beak was tied, and the originally high-pitched murk sounded like a whimper at this time.
Wen Shu walked over with a smile, first gently touched its white head, and then lifted it with one hand and carried it outside.
When he arrived at the well in the courtyard, he slowly helped it untie the hemp rope on its wings and the cloth strips on the bird's beak.
As soon as he was freed, the fat stealing bird immediately screamed, and his voice was terrible. It kept flapping its wings to escape, but its foot was too badly injured to borrow its strength, and it failed to fly after a few flutters.
Wen Shu couldn't help but feel more relieved when he saw this.
The mournful and loud bird's cry, like a bolt of lightning in the silent early morning, swept across the sky north of the city, waking up the nearby people.
Father Wen was sleeping soundly, but when he heard this terrible howl, he frowned in a daze, and then listened carefully, and found that the sound was very close, as if it came from the courtyard, and he couldn't help but jump in his heart, and he got up in his clothes and opened the door to check.
At the other end, Wen Shu specially warned the fat thief not to hurt people, and then sneaked back to the room, hiding behind the door to listen to the movement.
When she heard the squeak of the east door, she knew that her father was up. After waiting for a moment, he pretended to be just up, rubbed his eyes and opened the door.
"Dad, what's the noise, it's noisy?"
Father Wen didn't speak, his eyes wandered around the courtyard, and soon settled on the well.
However, because the sky was still dark at this time, the east chamber was some distance from the well, and it was not very real, and I only faintly saw that something seemed to be moving next to the wooden shelf by the well.
After a while, Father Wen picked up the wooden stick by the door and went there, and at the same time drank Ling Wenshu, "Don't move there, I'll take a look." ”
Wen Shu was slightly stunned, but she didn't listen to her father, glanced at the broom standing by the door, took it and walked over there.
The fat stealing bird didn't look injured, but it was actually fierce, and it took a lot of effort when she tied its beak before. If it weren't for her quick wreak and quick reaction, she would have almost pecked at it.
Dad is old, and he has just woken up, but I'm afraid that my brain is still confused, but don't follow it.
Just when Wen Shu was worried, Father Wen had already walked five steps away from the bird's body, because he didn't know what it was or whether it was dangerous, so he didn't get too close.
The wooden stick in his hand also kept propping forward, for fear that the unknown thing would suddenly burst out.
It was only when I got closer that I realized that it was a big bird with a white head and a red body, which looked like an owl, but looking at its fluttering appearance, it should have been injured, so I was slightly relieved.
"Dad, what's this?" At this time, Wen Shu suddenly asked behind him.
Wentai was startled, and hurriedly shouted, "Why are you here, go back soon." With that, he pushed her back.
Although the bird was injured, it was difficult to protect the injury, so it was better not to come close.
"It's okay Dad, I'll just stand here and take a look, this is an owl, it's pretty good."
Father Wen nodded: "I guess who domesticated it, and I don't know how to run to our house." However, this owl grows well, and the selling price must be expensive, and the owner will find it when he finds it missing. Let's leave it like this for now, maybe someone will come to the door later. ”
Wen Shuxin said no, but nodded obediently on his face.
Today is a cold food, there is no need to start a fire, the food has been prepared yesterday, and there is no need to go out of the city to worship and sweep so early, it is Yiwen Dad to let Wen Shu go back to the room and squint for a while.
Wen Shu didn't feel that sleepy, shook his head, squatted down and said, "Dad, go to sleep, I'll look at the birds here." It's rare to see something so good-looking. "Funny
Father Wen was a little uneasy, "This is a fierce bird, it will peck people, you don't have to rely on it too close." ”
"I know, I know, I don't come close, I just look at it from a distance." Wen Shu reassured again and again, and took a few steps back.
Father Wen looked at the problem as if it was not a big problem, so he agreed, and gave Wen Shu the wooden stick in his hand to defend himself, and then turned around and went back to the room.
He watched a play with Brother Sun last night and saw late at night, and drank two corners of wine, and he was indeed a little sleepy at this time.
After another moment, until there was no movement behind him, Wen Shu tapped the head of the fat thief and said with a smile: "Even if you don't hurt anyone, let me tell you, it was my father just now, if you dare to hurt him, I don't care whether you can resist the fire or not, I will definitely dismantle you and cook it in the pot." ”
Upon hearing this, the fat stealing bird immediately shrank its neck.
Wen Shu was even more satisfied when he saw this.
Although it is a bit silly to talk to a bird, for some reason, the various performances of this bird always give her the illusion of understanding human nature and understanding human speech.
Unconsciously, I love to talk to it.
After teasing the fat stealer for a while, the sky gradually turned white, until the morning dew on the horizon, Wen Shu put away the stick and got up, took out two hard-boiled eggs from the kitchen and threw them in front of the fat thief.
"I don't know what you're eating, and there are no snakes or rats at home, so I'm going to eat it."
The fat thief didn't buy it, he didn't twist his head when he heard the sound, and he seemed to be still angry. Wen Shu didn't care, after throwing two eggs, he turned around and went to the well to fetch water and wash.
After she finished washing, Father Wen also got up, and Wen Shu saw this and hurriedly went to the kitchen to mix a bowl of cold noodles for her father.
As for herself, because of Zhu Yucao, she is still not very hungry at the moment.
But if you want to eat, you can eat some, just to test the true situation of Zhu Yu Cao's hunger, she continues to uphold the principle of not eating, just to see how much Zhu Yu Cao can stop hunger.
A bowl of cold meat with pickled radish and bacon slices was swallowed by Father Wen within two clicks, and Wen Tai did not doubt Wen Shu's statement that she had eaten it.
A quarter of an hour later, the father and daughter took the offerings and paper money and went out of the city to pay their respects.
Half an hour later, ten miles away from the north of the city, the sunny slope, among the flowers and plants all over the mountains, there are many tombs.
Because of the season, the mountain was now full of pale yellow paper money, and the father and daughter walked along the path covered with weeds towards the familiar grave inside.
On the low graves, weeds grow, and the willow trees on the left and right have grown tall.
The small sapling planted in the year of burial has now grown into a big tree with a thick bowl mouth, and more than ten years have passed quietly. Father Wen stepped forward with emotion and removed the weeds from the grave bag.
Wen Shu knelt in front of the grave, carefully wiped the dust and grass clippings from the tombstone with his sleeves, and muttered, "Mother, brother, my father and I have come to see you, are you okay down there?" What's wrong, even if it's a dream, my father and I will do it. ”
"You haven't eaten yet, my father and I have brought you our favorite green essence rice and fruits, and we will eat them tightly." As he spoke, he took out the fruit of the offering from the basket and set it before the tomb.
Daddy Wen listened with a smile on the side, and the movements in his hands kept stopping. When the grass on the grave bag was removed, he began to fold the paper money again.
Wen Shu, who was below, also got up at this moment, and was decorating the withered branches of sour jujubes with him, and he didn't forget to continue to talk about what had happened in the past year.
The good and the bad were all picked up and said, especially the fire that she couldn't let go of when she thought about it to this day, and she repeated it for a long time, saying that God didn't open her eyes.
After chattering about the happy and unhappy things in the past year to the mother underground, Wen Shu thought about the two heavenly trees in the basket, and with a roll of her eyes, she told her father that she was going to the toilet.
Father Wen didn't think much about it, nodded and told her to be careful, and continued to busy her work.
