Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Beekeeper

"Let's each drink plenty of water, and then move quickly to get out of the forest before dark," Lanhua said. ”

Lanhua took the lead and drank the water again, then picked up his things and set off, when they came to a forest with more flowers and plants, and the trees were not high, they saw that there were many bees on the flowers, and Linghua looked very interesting and reached out to grab an oversized bee on the flower, and the bees flew away.

But it didn't take long for the sky to be densely packed with bees, and Linghua saw so many bees and shouted, "Look, so many bees in the sky are so spectacular." ”

Lanhua looked up and was startled and hurriedly shouted, "Run, these bees are coming for us." ”

As soon as Lanhua finished speaking, the bees in the sky rushed towards Lanhua and them, and Linghua was stung by the bees before she could react, and then many bees stung Linghua's face, neck, and arms, and the painful Linghua rolled on the spot.

Lanhua saw that Linghua was stung to the ground, and took off her clothes to cover Linghua's head, but there were too many bees, and Lanhua was also stung by many bees, and Baolin also came over to cover Lanhua with his body, and at the same time used a wooden stick to beat the bees, and the bees couldn't finish the fight at all, and Baolin was also stung all over his face.

Baili, Shanhua, and Baihua were all stung and fell to the ground, and now Qionghua was left alone, because Qionghua covered her head and face with her jacket, and then used her trekking poles to resist the attack of the bees. Although Qionghua was strong and strong, she couldn't stand too many bees, and finally she was stung to the ground, and now that all seven Lanhua people have been stung down, the bees around them are still densely packed to count.

When Lan Hua and the others were unconscious, an old man came, and when he saw these bees attacking the seven people on the ground, he hurriedly took out Xiao and blew it, saying that it was strange that these bees flew away after hearing Xiao's sound. The old man came to Lan Hua and the others to take a look, it was too miserable, Lan Hua and the others' faces were swollen, if they were not rescued in time, the seven children on the ground might be in danger of their lives.

The old man took out a white medicine bottle on his body, poured some on everyone, and then wiped the most serious part of his face, and after three minutes, Lan Hua and the others woke up, and the bite was not so painful.

Lan Hua looked up and saw that it was an old man who saved everyone, and hurriedly said: "Grandpa, thank you, without you, the seven of us would have died here." ”

Baihua, Shanhua, Linghua, Qionghua, Baili and Baolin also woke up, and heard Lanhua say that the old man saved them, some kowtowed to the old man, and some bowed to the old man, the old man hurriedly hugged each other with both hands, and then said: "Children, get up, you can't do it, you can't help it, how did you provoke so many bees, fortunately you met me, otherwise your 7 little lives would really have to stay here." ”

Linghua said: "Here's the thing, I saw a lot of bees collecting nectar on the flowers, and I wanted to catch one, but after this big bee ran away, it brought so many bees to attack us, and that's how it happened." ”

When the old man heard this, he said: "Child, you know what the bee you are going to catch, it is the queen bee, you provoked the queen bee, no wonder the bees are coming to attack you, you don't stand here anymore, go to my house, my house is not far from the corner ahead." ”

The old man took Lanhua and others to the old man's residence, here is a flat land that has been repaired artificially, three tiled houses have been built on it, a courtyard wall has been surrounded by bamboo sticks, a piece has been circled on the left side, more than a dozen chickens have been raised, there is a pigsty on the right side, two pigs have been raised, there is a big yellow dog in front of the door to watch the house, and after seeing the master come back, he wagged his tail and greeted the master.

Lan Hua and the others saw that the dogs were a little resistant because they had fought with wild dogs, and the old man said: "Old Huang Keren is righteous, don't bite people, don't be afraid of you follow me into the house." ”

Lanhua and the others still cautiously followed the old man into the house, and Linghua at the back ran a few times, afraid of being bitten by a dog, and the old man laughed and said after seeing it: "Children, are you so afraid of dogs, have you ever touched a wild dog." ”

Baili replied, "Yes, grandpa, we were bitten by fifty or sixty wild dogs, and we were almost eaten by wild dogs. ”

The old man looked at Baili, Lanhua and the others and said, "You seven babies are really blessed, it's a miracle that you can be safe and sound under the siege of fifty or sixty wild dogs." ”

Baihua said: "We took the train to the prairie to travel, the train broke down halfway, there was no food, no water, so we chose to go by ourselves, and we ran into so many wild dogs, fortunately, we killed all the wild dogs, and killed the king of wild dogs." ”

The old man touched his beard and said in surprise: "You guys are really amazing, this place is called Wild Dog Ridge, there are a lot of wild dogs here, and there are many snakes, and then there are bees, other animals can't survive here, even tigers are eaten by this group of wild dogs, they are very fierce in combat, I still remember that the villagers under the mountain organized ten hunters with guns to kill these wild dogs, and in the end the wild dogs did not kill a few of these ten hunters were eaten by wild dogs, these wild dogs have occupied this place for ten years, When they lack physical goods, they come down to eat the villagers' livestock, and almost all of the villagers' poultry, pigs, cattle and sheep are eaten by these wild dogs. ”

Lan Hua asked with some curiosity: "Grandpa, then you are also a villager in this village, you can take us out." ”

The old man asked Lanhua and the others to sit down, and if there was no stool, they sat on the kang, poured a glass of water for each person to drink, and the old man also drank a sip of water and continued: "I am indeed a villager in this village, there are less than 100 households in this village, and the livestock and poultry raised are eaten by wild dogs, and then some people lose their children, and adults are often bitten by dogs, and this is remote, and the traffic is not developed, and finally the villagers have no choice but to move out, and the whole village is me alone, and I can't live anymore, so I came to the mountains and lived here in seclusion. Since I can raise bees, I also raise livestock and poultry here, and I can make a lot of honey, and I also sell the honey that I can't eat for money to buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. ”

Bao Lin asked strangely: "Grandpa, you said that the whole village has moved away, but you have moved to the mountains, and you have raised poultry and livestock, don't those wild dogs come to you to eat your poultry and livestock?" ”

When Bao Lin asked, Lan Hua and the others also felt strange, and they all looked at the old man with surprised eyes.

The old man said: "That's right, because I have a lot of bees, when those wild dogs come to make trouble, I let my bees sting them away, come and go, these wild dogs have suffered a few losses and will not come again, I will blow Xiao, when the poisonous snake comes, as long as they hear my Xiao, they will immediately turn around and leave." That's it, I live here for ten years, ten years like a day, every day is the same, but the climate here is good, the water is also very good, and sweet, I haven't been sick in the past ten years, sometimes down the mountain I encounter wild dogs and poisonous snakes, they also recognize me, see me automatically dodge, so has been safe. ”

The old man took a sip of water and continued: "Children, after talking for a long time, are you also hungry, I will cook you some food, and we will talk while eating." ”

Lan Hua and the others were indeed a little hungry, so they said okay.

Baihua said: "Eldest sister, do you see if the places stung by bees are all right, I feel that I am all right, everyone has been listening to the old man just now, and now they look at each other, really, everyone is back as before." ”

Lan Hua ran to the old man's side strangely and asked, "Grandpa, we were stung by bees in many places just now, why are they all all right all at once?" ”

The old man said while taking the firewood: "I gave you an antidote, and rubbed the medicine on you, so you are all fine, don't forget that I am a beekeeper." ”

Qionghua came over and said, "Grandpa, you can teach me the trick of training bees, it costs as much money, I want to learn." ”

The old man said: "If you want to learn, you can also go with me outside to kill a pig, I will invite the guests to eat a whole pig banquet today, I have been alone for so many years too pure, today I want to be lively." ”
