Chapter Twenty-Three: The Mouse and the Turtle

Updated: 2013-03-14

A pair of slender hands are constantly jumping in the branches, and the hundred 'flowers' in the basket are accumulating more and more. A few strands of green silk hung down from the sideburns and brushed on Lu Mengjian's face, but the skin 'color' of wheat had a different kind of brilliance in the sun.

Lin Daimo's eyes swept carelessly, and the moment he saw Lu Mengjian bowing his head, his serious look suddenly dazzled like a strong light, making him can't help but squint his eyes and look at it carefully.

This 'woman' seems to be weak, but the picking action is extremely sharp, in addition to the skin "color" is slightly dark and often does not abide by the "woman" morality, the rest is impeccable, the facial features are very beautiful, and you will not feel bored after watching it for a long time, but the body is slightly thin, but there is also a kind of wind blowing weak willow posture.

This look made Lin Dai stand still for a long time.

Lu Mengjian filled the basket in his hand, he was already suffering from back pain, and he raised his head to find that there was a person standing at the entrance of the 'door', it was Lin Daimo, so he walked to the open space in front of the 'door' and poured the picked acacia 'flowers' on the old mat spread on the ground.

"Why don't you say hello when you come back, so that I can prepare some hot dishes and hot meals in advance," Lu Mengjian put the basket in front of the unpicked locust branches, wiped his hands and walked to the kitchen.

"I forgot to bring something this morning, so I came back at noon to pick it up," Lin Dai was not afraid of being teased, so he quickly made up a lie in his mind, and Lu Mengjian didn't care anymore, and washed his hands carefully with water.

"Why are you picking such a locust 'flower'," Lin Daimo finally couldn't help but ask curiously, "Do you want to steam the acacia 'flower' cake and eat it?" ”

"Hey, that's a good idea, but if you want to eat Huai's 'flower' cake, you have to wait until I'm done with it," Lu Mengjian turned around and walked into the kitchen, only to find that most of the cooking utensils had been taken outside by himself, but fortunately he also left a large pot, just stewed the vegetables and put the steamed buns on top to heat them up.

Lin Daimo didn't get a response, and he also went to the kitchen to make a fuss, but was pushed out by Lu Mengjian, "Get out, gentleman is far away, what are you doing here." ”

After adding a fire, Lu Mengjian took another basket and picked the remaining 'flowers' on the locust branch into the basket. Lin Daimo felt fresh, and picked it up. The two of them started and soon filled a whole basket and poured it on the mat to dry.

Looking at the acacia 'flowers' that were full of flowers, the two couldn't help but smile at each other.

"Oh no, I forgot about business," Lu Mengjian slapped his forehead suddenly, only to remember that there was still a fire in the kitchen stove, and after such a long time, I am afraid that there is no heat for a long time.

Sure enough, the food in the pot had already cooled again, Lu Mengjian lay on the ground again in discouragement, lit the firewood and grass, and blew a few breaths into the stove in a row, but the flames always seemed to be dying, and the smoke from the smoke choked Lu Mengjian's nose painfully.

"I don't believe I can't cure you today," Lu Mengjian choked on the smoke, but instead committed a bull temper, while blowing into the stove, he 'touched' the dry firewood behind him with his backhand, but unexpectedly he 'touched' a soft thing, which was not only smooth and smooth, but even revealed a trace of warmth......

"Eh, what is this?" That thing didn't move under Lu Mengjian's hands, but it made people even more curious. Lu Mengjian couldn't help but turn his head to take a look, but this look almost scared him out.

At this moment, there is a mouse lying on her stomach!

The mouse was about the same length as a finger, obviously a novice, and when he saw someone, he didn't know how to dodge, and when he was pressed under Lu Mengjian, he had already lost his master, and a pair of small eyes were dripping, and when he saw Lu Mengjian turn his face, he also turned his head to look at Lu Mengjian.

Lu Mengjian looked at the gray 'hair' skin under his right hand, as well as the slender tail, only to feel a wave of nausea in his stomach, and his heart was about to jump out, and at this moment, the mouse actually squeaked and turned its head, as if it was about to mouth at his subordinates, and couldn't help screaming.

"Ahh There are rats! Lu Mengjian pulled his throat uncontrollably, and the sharp shout startled the mouse, and finally came back to his senses and slipped out of Lu Mengjian's hand with a bang.

"What, rats? Where is it? "Lin Dai Mo rushed in when he heard the sound, there were few things in the kitchen, although the rat hid and hid at this moment, he didn't find the mouse 'hole' after looking for a long time, only to find that he had fled in the opposite direction, and finally 'exposed' in the corner.

Unexpectedly, when Lin Daimo saw the mouse, he also shouted in horror, "Mouse! Help, rats! ”

Where did the rat see this scene, and it also squeaked and ran to the other side, Lin Daimo saw the rat running towards him, and he jumped straight to his feet in fright, like a child, stomped his feet while screaming, and hid directly behind Lu Mengjian.

This shout made Lu Mengjian calm down.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," she seemed to comfort herself, picked up the broom erected behind the 'door', and threw herself at the mouse, although the mouse was small, but the action was very sensitive, after being pursued by Lu Mengjian several times, "whoosh" drilled into the small 'hole' hidden in the corner, and disappeared.

Lu Mengjian finally breathed a sigh of relief, threw away the broom in his hand, and sat on the ground with his buttocks, his 'legs' were weak, and his two hands trembled slightly in disobedience.

Xu was frightened by the old people in the family, since he was a child, Lu Mengjian was not afraid of the earth, but he was only afraid of two things, one was a mouse and the other was a snake. Lu Mengjian always loves to be naughty when he is young, and his parents are busy with business, so he entrusts it to his grandmother to manage, the old man's legs and feet are inconvenient, whenever Lu Mengjian gets into trouble, he always likes to mention the story of the mouse marrying, until today, Lu Mengjian still remembers it vividly.

"If the child is disobedient, at night the mouse will carry the 'flower' sedan chair to marry her as a bride, and the next day, the mouse will be very happy, because the child who was carried away is so annoying that even the mouse hates her, so the rat king will turn her into a mouse, sleep in the sewer every day, and eat other people's leftover bread crumbs......"

Since then, the mouse has become Lu Mengjian's old enemy, and every time he sees it, it is like experiencing a duel to the death, although most of the time, it is someone else's ear who suffers.

After slowing down for a while, Lu Mengjian recovered from Fang Cai's fear, and when he slowly stood up, his eyes widened suddenly, and he almost fell out of his eyeballs.

"Old, is the rat gone?" Lin Daimo's voice came weakly from the stove.

"Poof!" Lu Mengjian finally couldn't help laughing.

I saw Lin Daimo's two 'legs' on the edge of the stove, and his buttocks were directly trapped in the cauldron, and his two hands were swinging vigorously trying to climb out of the pot, but he couldn't use his strength at all, like a turtle that had fallen to the ground, this appearance was really embarrassing and embarrassing.

"Ouch, pull me out quickly, burn me to death......" Lin Daimo helplessly shouted at the 'female' who was laughing in front of him, the fire under the stove was burning vigorously at some point, his butt was almost against the bottom of the pot, and he could even feel a smell of 'meat' coming from under him.

Lu Mengjian held back his laughter, stretched out his hand to pull Lin Daimo, he couldn't hold back a puff laugh, as soon as his hand was loosened, Lin Daimo fell back into the cauldron, and rolled his eyes in pain when he slammed his waist on the side of the pot. And Lu Mengjian saw the turtle-like with swaying limbs, and directly covered his stomach and laughed so much that he couldn't straighten his waist.

Finally dragged Lin Daimo out of the hot pot, Lu Mengjian calmed down slightly, and asked seriously: "This is so good to hide from mice, how can you hide in the pot?" ”

"It happened so suddenly, I don't know, just remember to hide behind you, and just sit inside......" Lin Daimo's face was as red as a pomegranate in the autumn moon, and in the end, his voice became smaller and smaller, almost like the sound of mosquitoes and flies.

"It's a pity, I can't eat any food in the pot, I'll eat some leftovers and pickles at noon today," Lu Mengjian looked into the pot, and vaguely saw a big butt mark, and he couldn't help it.

"But then again, how could you be afraid of a little mouse?" Lu Mengjian brought a basin of water, slapped the soaphorn on his hand over and over again, and saw that Lin Daimo still seemed to have palpitations, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.

saw that his face was slightly stunned, "Joke, I'm a big man, how can I be afraid of this kind of thing!" Well, let's not talk about it again. After saying that, he limped out in a huff.

When Lu Mengjian finished washing his hands and entered the house, he found that Lin Daimo had already changed his clothes and was about to go out.

"Hey, big turtle, let's go after lunch," Lu Mengjian smiled and put the rice basket in his hand on the table.

"Don't eat it, I still have something to do, and the clothes I changed are still on the ground," Lin Daimo walked to the 'door' and suddenly turned his head, "Who do you say is the big turtle!" ”

"Your reaction speed is really fast enough, but it's much faster than a pig," Lu Mengjian thought of that scene, and couldn't help but laugh again, "Okay, big turtle, take these dry foods with you, and eat a little secretly when you're hungry." ”

"Hmph," Lin Daimo glanced at her, stretched out his hand and pulled through the bag containing dry food, and walked out of the 'door', but heard the 'woman' behind him shouting, "Don't worry, I won't tell others, hahaha......"

"You crazy woman!" Lin Daimo was speechless for a while, shook his sleeves fiercely, and couldn't help but speed up his pace.

After this little 'interlude', Lu Mengjian's mood was inexplicably better, smelling the fragrance of Huai's 'flowers', and simply eating some leftover dry food. Looking at the pile of 'messy' things in the courtyard, my heart was full of fighting spirit again.

After picking out the 'flowers' of the locust branches piled up in the courtyard, a thin layer of locust 'flowers' has been piled up on the mat on the ground, but these are far from enough.

Lu Mengjian looked at the big locust tree in the corner of the yard, where she could go, she had already broken it off with a bamboo pole, but this locust tree was too tall, and the lush 'flower' branches could not be touched by the bamboo pole alone, Lu Mengjian stood under the tree for a long time, but could only look at the ocean and sigh.

Just as he was about to give up, he heard Aunt Li knock on the 'door' and come in, and saw Lu Mengjian staring at the big tree in front of him in a daze, looking up curiously for a long time, except for the 'flowers' of the full locust tree.

"Ahem, dream note, but do you want to eat Huai 'flower' cake?" Seeing that she didn't move for a long time, Aunt Li couldn't help but ask, "I don't think there are already a lot of acacia 'flowers' in this courtyard." ”

Lu Mengjian lowered his head, and glanced at the acacia 'flowers' on the ground out of the corner of his eyes, "Those acacia 'flowers' are still too few, they are not enough at all!" ”
