Chapter 30: Rootless Duckweed
In the evening, when the afterglow of the sun was about to fade, Pu Ying returned with a full load, and the two children were chasing back and forth in the yard, and the two hounds of the guardian were hanging their heads and drowsy. Pu Yingjue stood outside the wooden fence gate like a demon, then smiled, pushed open the wooden fence gate, raised the prey in his hand, and said with a smile: "Children, come and see, what is this." ”
Pu You heard his father's voice, quickly stopped, turned around and ran towards his father, and shouted delicately: "Daddy, what, I'll take a look, I'll see, wow, what a big pheasant, this muntjac deer seems to have moved." And gently patted the two big yellow hounds next to his father who were shaking their heads.
Guo Fei stood far away, looking at the father and daughter stupidly, envy spontaneously, how much he wished that he could also return to his parents, coquettish and frolicking around them.
Pu Yingjue saw Guo Fei in a daze, walked over with a smile, and said, "Child, do you want to learn to hunt?" ”
Guo Fei still looked at the front with such a resolute gaze and nodded heavily. Pu Yingjue patted Guo Fei on the shoulder, laughed and said, "Good boy, in the future, I will follow Uncle Pu to hunt, go, let's kill the muntjac deer together, and today we will eat roasted muntjac venison." ”
Pu You approached his father step by step and said softly: "Daddy, Xiaofei can't remember what happened before, he doesn't know where his home is. As he spoke, he choked up, as if he had become a lost lamb who made the heavens and the earth unspiritual.
Pu Yingjue stopped, suppressed his smile, looked at the little boy in front of him who was half a year shorter than his daughter, touched the back of Guo Fei's head meekly, and said solemnly: "Child, don't worry, Uncle will help you find a home, you can rest assured that you will live here with Uncle, and your Sister You'er will accompany you." Pu Yingjue asked Guo Fei about the situation again, touched his forehead, pursed his lips, and said kindly: "Fei'er, if you don't dislike it, can you be your uncle's nephew?" Before we find your parents, let's call you Pu Fei, child, what do you think? ”
Pu Yingjue blinked and looked ahead, but the front seemed to be blocked by tears, since he ran away from home, he has never returned home, and now he doesn't know where his home is, sometimes the shadow of home can still faintly appear in his sleep, but it is just a glimpse of the light, and when he wakes up, it becomes a void, so that he is relieved that he still knows his name, and can even write it down one by one, and the child in front of him, who has forgotten his surname, may be like himself in the future, become a rootless duckweed, Wander around.
Guo Fei bowed his head silently, Pu You saw his father stunned there, gently tugged at the corner of his father's clothes, and said coquettishly: "Daddy, we are all hungry." Pu Yingjue smiled suddenly, touched his two little heads, and began to get busy in an orderly manner, but the waves in his heart could not be calmed, and promise and helplessness stirred each other.
Pu Yingjue has been preparing silently in the next few days, all kinds of dry food are full of big bags, the dagger he carries has been sharpened over and over again, it is already bright and sharp, the machete that opens the road in the mountains has also been replaced with a new handle, the quiver has been filled, and the two big hounds that hunt each time have been recuperating and preparing for the past few days. Of course, Pu Ying has never forgotten the two children, and in the past few days, she has steamed several cages of steamed buns, and the bacon has also been cut into several large plates.
Before leaving, Pu You and Pu Fei got up early and stood by the steps respectfully. Pu Yingjue walked out of the cabin in full gear, saw the two little ghosts standing straight by the steps, was stunned for a moment, then smiled, walked over and touched the little heads of the two children, looked at the two children kindly and said: "It's cold outside, you guys come into the house quickly, I'm fine, Fei'er, don't worry, I will bring you good news soon." After touching the little faces of the two children, the two big hounds heard the voice of their master, shook their heads and tails, and walked out of the cabin, and followed closely behind Pu Yingjue. Xiao Hei came out of nowhere, leaning closely to Pu You's side.
Pu Ying stood stunned, turned around and walked to Xiao Hei's side, touched Xiao Hei's head meekly, and said solemnly: "Xiao Heizi, take care of your home." He also looked at "Sister Huang" who was holding on to the fence, and smiled again and said goodbye to the two children.
Seeing Pu Yingjue gradually moving away, Xiao Hei suddenly let out a long "woo" sound. The two distant hounds also stopped, and turned towards the cabin with a long, 'whining' sound. Pu You made a megaphone with his hand on the side of his mouth and shouted loudly: "Rhubarb, Erhuang, you must protect Daddy." ”
By the faint light of the morning light, Pu Yingjue came to the small river, the river was no longer as fierce as before, and the bubbling river flowed quietly into the distance. Pu Yingjue climbed a small hillside nearby, leaning on the trunk of a tree and looking into the distance along the river, which meandered in the mountains, but due to the dense woods, only the shadow of the river could be faintly seen, and the view was soon blocked by the high mountains in the distance. Pu Yingjue is beating the drum in his heart, there are mountains and mountains within a radius of hundreds of kilometers here, many places are uninhabited, and he will not run back and forth more than fifty kilometers in a radius of fifty kilometers, since he and You'er Niang hid here, Pu Fei is the first outsider he has seen, and anything can happen in the jungle, this is a paradise for birds of prey. But for himself, a promise is worth a thousand gold, this is the principle and bottom line of his own life, and it is also a repentance of his deep sins.
The trees by the creek are unusually dense, and the thorn bushes and bush clusters are the biggest obstacles on the way, and at first they can be chopped with a machete, but it is too much, and the patience of the people has been exhausted, and they can only look at the gaps, and the road will not be lonely, the chirping of birds, the chirping of insects, and the sound of various small animals crawling in the dead leaves, and sometimes you can see one or two monkeys swinging on the branches.
