After a full meal and wine, the three of them got up and ran east. The scorching sun was in the sky, and the three of them walked under the shadow of the tree. It didn't take long for the farmland around me to grow. A middle-aged man with a bamboo pole driving a flock of ducks is coming out of the pond. The duck "quacked" and quacked, and Xiao Xi also learned, "quack, quack." The ducks seemed to have received some kind of call, and they came in an orderly manner, all following Xiao Xi. The middle-aged man smiled and said nothing, waving a bamboo pole to catch the ducks, and later, the smile gradually disappeared, and these ducks did not obey the call, and followed Xiao Xi with "quack", and the owner couldn't drive away no matter how he hurried.

The middle-aged man pushed a few ducks with a bamboo pole, and the ducks were pushed away, and then ran over again, following Xiao Xi.

"Huh! Hi! This...... This kid ...... The duck ...... "I don't know if it's the child's problem or the duck's problem, the middle-aged man is anxious." Seeing that the duck didn't listen to the command, he had to catch up and put his arm on the fat man's shoulder, "Hey! My ducks! Give me back the ducks! ”

The fat man slapped his hand away, "Eh! You have to be reasonable! Who stole your duck or robbed your duck? ”

The middle-aged man gasped, and his eyes were red with anxiety: "I'm not...... I didn't mean that, and I don't know how, but as soon as the boy called, all my ducks followed him. I can't compete with my children, can I? Little brother, you take care of it, let the child give me back the duck! ”

The fat man pointed at Xiao Xi and said to the middle-aged man: "I called him, but he didn't listen to me." Go, teach him a lesson, and if you can't do it, beat him to death! ”

The fat man was telling the truth, he was not willing to fight, but thinking about this kid is still quite hateful sometimes, the fat man wished that someone would beat him up instead of him!

Middle-aged men are old and young, and they have lived to this age, and they can not understand other truths, and they can't beat other people's children, so they said to the fat man: "Little brother, don't be joking, no matter how naughty he is, you should beat him." I'm counting on this bunch of ducks to feed my family, you can't make fun of me, can you? ”

The fat man didn't mean to embarrass others, he just watched the child get angry and wanted others to help clean him up. Everyone has said this, so naturally they can't joke anymore.

The fat man stretched his hand down, touched the back of Miss Xiaohu's hand, and pouted in the direction of Xiao Xi, "Oh, be a mother, you take care of it." Have your child return the duck to the family. ”

"Okay!"

Miss Xiaohu bent over and kicked her legs, and jumped in front of Xiao Xi in one step from a distance of seven or eight meters, startling the middle-aged man next to the fat man.

Miss Hu bent down and touched Xiao Xi's head, "Xiao Xi is good, let the duck go back." ”

Xiao Xi touched her head with an innocent expression, "Mom~ I didn't call them over, they ...... They followed me on their own. ”

"Uh...... This~" Xiao Hu scratched his head, "Then you tell them not to follow you." ”

Xiao Xi turned around and shouted: "Hey~ Don't follow me!" My mom won't let me play with ducks~"

Ducks: "Quack, quack...... "Quack, quack, quack

Xiao Xi turned around, took a few steps forward, and stopped. The ducks also took a few steps forward and stopped.

Xiao Xi was afraid of her mother's reproach, so she lowered her head and bit her lip, "Mom~ Mom, they don't listen to me......"

"Haha...... Then you can play with them. "He's a mom, he's actually funier than him!

Little Beard shook it

Head back to the fat man.

"Oh, you see," said the fat man to the middle-aged man, "and the ducks don't listen to us." This is your duck, you can take care of it yourself. ”

Xiao Xi "quacked" and played with the duck while walking, and he saw a lot of ducks, and he walked like a duck and swayed left and right. A "big duck" leads a group of ducklings, all the way "quack", mighty and spectacular......

The middle-aged man who raised ducks tried to recall his ducks, and also learned the call of "quack, quack, quack". The fat man and the little bearded girl glanced at each other, and in order not to laugh out loud, their faces turned red.

The middle-aged man ran forward, and made the bamboo pole catch up and "quack" and bark, raising ducks for so many years, the first time the donkey skills were poor, and he couldn't control his own ducks. I had to run back to find the fat man again, and I was in a panic, "Little brother! This...... It's not that I'm unreasonable and won't let you go, if you go any further, you'll take away all my ducks! You let the child stop, let's think of a way, okay? ”

Also, although there is no stealing or robbing, this is almost the same as robbing. It's not like taking away the ducks that people have worked so hard to raise. The fat man had a good idea: "Don't worry, do you think this is good~ You take us to your house, and the duck follows the child, won't you also arrive home?" You don't need to bother. ”

"Good, good! It would be nice if you would come to my house. The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his face.

"Where is your home?"

"Not far away, past the field in front of me, we will come to my vegetable field."

"What about growing vegetables at home?"

"Not really! As a farmer, how can you have the money to eat big fish and meat every day, you can only grow some vegetables in front of your house and behind your house to eat. ”

"Is it just enough for my own food, and can I still sell some?"

"I can pick it up and sell it in the city, but I can't make a lot of money. These ducks can be sold for some money, isn't that ...... I'm afraid you'll take it away, haha. ”

"Oh, like this~ Eh, how long do you have to walk to the city to pick vegetables?" This sentence is the key. In fact, the fat man wanted to know how far it was from this middle-aged man's house to the city, and he asked people whether they could grow vegetables or sell them, all of which were foreshadowing.

"Not many steps!" The middle-aged man said.

That's what I'm most afraid of! "Not a few steps", how many steps is it?! And if someone else answers like this, you can't chase after you and ask "how many steps are there".

Before the field was open, Xiao Xi only led the duck forward, and gradually entered the village, and there was a fork in the road, Xiao Xi didn't know where to go, and turned to look at the little bearded girl. A group of ducks also followed Xiao Xiqi to turn backwards, and "quack" at the three people walking slowly behind them.

The little bearded girl said, "The duck told us to hurry up." ”

The fat man smiled and said to the middle-aged man, "You go ahead and lead the way." ”

The three of them walked up from behind, the fat man and the middle-aged man walked in front, and the little bearded girl led Xiao Xi's little hand and followed behind. A flock of ducks "quacked" all the way, bypassing a vegetable patch, and the sound of dogs barking came from the yard.

As soon as a few people entered the courtyard, the yellow dog of the family ran over with its tail wagging and barked around the middle-aged man's feet.

Xiao Xi saw the big yellow dog, overjoyed, clapped his little hand to learn that it was called "Wang Wang", the big yellow dog "Wang Wang" responded, abandoned the owner, and ran to Xiao Xi's side to circle around Xiao Xi.

The middle-aged man turned around and looked at the big yellow dog and one beside Xiao Xi

A flock of ducks, thoughtful. After a long silence, he said to the fat man: "My wife will come out in a while, don't let this child learn from my wife!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged man's wife came out of the kitchen, and before the person arrived, the voice arrived first, "Dead ghost, you still know how to come back!" ”

The fat man was terrified and turned his head to stare at Xiao Xi. Xiao Xi looked confused, blinked, and tilted his head to look at the fat man. Meaning: Why are you staring at me? I didn't learn her to speak.

The fat man's doubts are: Why don't you learn this? Don't you learn everything?

"Ah~ Guests?" The middle-aged man's wife saw the fat man and greeted them very warmly, "Sit down and drink water!" I'm going to heat it up. ”

The daughter-in-law turned around and went back to the kitchen, it seemed that the middle-aged man was disturbed by Xiao Xi on the way home because of the duck, and he was delayed, he came home late, and the food was cold.

The fat man said, "Go and eat, and we're leaving." ”

The middle-aged man said politely: "Hey, it's always fate to meet, if you don't come up with a good idea, I won't be able to come back with these ducks, so sit down and eat some together!" ”

The fat man knows that this poor family in the countryside lives on a budget, so how can there be extra meals to entertain guests?

"No," said the fat man, "the boy has made trouble for you." Besides, we've eaten, go quickly, let my sister-in-law don't add rice, and we'll go. ”

Xiao Xi followed Miss Hu on the side, leading this group of ducks and a big yellow dog to jump up and down, making a lot of noise in the yard.

The middle-aged man said, "Look, the child seems to like small animals very much, let him play for a while." Have you eaten it? Sit down and have a drink or two! ”

"Hey, I'll tell you the truth, we're in a hurry!" In fact, it's not in a hurry, it's really no problem, the fat man can only say that people are like this, you have to tell him "don't bother", he must say "no trouble, no trouble", you say "I have trouble, I'm in a hurry", he won't keep you.

The middle-aged man lowered his head, his eyes showed some loss, and his speech slowed down, "Oh, you want to hurry, then ...... That ......"

"Eh, how did you spit?" The fat man said, "Tell me what's wrong with you?" "The duck has been sent home to you, you and I have met in Pingshui, and there is no deep friendship, I won't eat if I don't eat, you send me out with a mourning expression?

The middle-aged man's eyes were moist, he covered his face and sighed, "My child has been lying in bed for half a year. I can see that the three of you are not ordinary people, if you are not in a hurry, do me a favor, take a look at my child, I can just kneel down and kowtow! The middle-aged man said that he was about to bend his knees and kneel.

The fat man hooked his arm and lifted it up, pointing at Miss Hu and Xiao Xi, "I'm an ordinary person, but those two are not." I look at your child, whether I look good or not, I don't know if it's good. Don't blame me. ”

"Where, I'm too ...... Thank you so much! "Such a big man who has experienced vicissitudes and comes and goes in the wind and rain, choked up and cried for his children.

The fat man followed the middle-aged man into the house to see his child. The child was lying on the bed with his eyes open, but his eyes were blank.

"Dad, you're here~" The child talked to the middle-aged man, he was weak and extremely weak, and it seemed that if he could say one more sentence, it was time to lose his breath.

It is indeed a serious illness, and the fat man can see it at a glance. But it's useless to just look at this, he's not a doctor, he knows how to treat it?
