Chapter 50: Growth
Early the next morning, Liu Bo came. When he entered the door, he said loudly: "Xiaobai, come and taste it, it's all good things." ”
When Jiang Xiaobai saw him, he didn't mention the previous basket today. Instead, he carried an earthen pot and an oiled paper bag in the other.
When the oil paper package was opened, a thick sweet smell of honey wafted out. Jiang Xiaobai looked at it, and it was a bear's paw inside. It is fried until golden brown and covered with a layer of honey.
Jiang Xiaobai took a bite, and the sweetness of honey had penetrated into the meat. It tastes delicious.
"Where did the honey come from. Jiang Xiaobai asked casually while eating. He remembered that Liu Bo's house had no honey.
"It's not thanks to you. The village chief asked someone to send it last night, and this method was also taught by that person. Liu Bo said with a smile.
"Are you very familiar with the village chief?" Jiang Xiaobai asked. If he remembered correctly, Liu Bo didn't say a few words to the village chief.
"Uh~ It's okay. I think the village chief is a pretty good person. Liu Bo said.
Jiang Xiaobai looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what ecstasy soup the village chief had poured into him.
"Xiaobai, I'm trying this, it's very supplemental. Liu Bo pushed the earthen pot in front of Jiang Xiaobai and changed the topic.
In the jar is boiled soup. The whole is off-white, and it smells like a rich flavor of meat. Jiang Xiaobai stirred the spoon, and a few tiger bones on the bottom turned up.
Jiang Xiaobai tasted it. The taste of Shuhua ran down the tongue and warmed all the way to the stomach. I closed my eyes and tasted it, and it was a wonderful taste.
"How's that, it's delicious. Liu Bo looked at Jiang Xiaobai and asked with an intoxicated look.
"Very good, thank you Auntie for me. Jiang Xiaobai said.
"If you like it, if you like. Let my mother know that you love to drink so much, she must be happy to die. Liu Bo said to himself.
Jiang Xiaobai continued to eat. After a while, I felt a warm current spread from my stomach to my whole body. Sweat broke out on his forehead, and the heat seemed to rush out of his head.
Jiang Xiaobai knew that this was because of the great replenishment of food, and the effect that was shown through the absorption of the devouring ability.
Eat about the same time. There was the sound of gongs and drums outside the door, getting closer and closer. finally stopped at the door of Jiang Xiaobai's house.
A rough voice shouted: "Is Jiang Xiaobai at home?" The village chief called you to go to the Great Hall to receive the award. ”
"In~in. Jiang Xiaobai hadn't spoken yet, Liu Bo said first. Run over and open the door.
Outside the door is a small gong and drum corps. Leading the way was a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man looks a little like the village chief.
"Are you Jiang Xiaobai?" the middle-aged man asked.
"No, I'm his friend Liu Bo. Jiang Xiaobai was inside. Liu Bo said.
"Then don't call him out. The middle-aged man said.
"I'll go. Liu Bo responded. Run back into the house.
"Xiaobai, it's a good thing. The village chief has sent someone to invite you to receive the award. Liu Bo said to Jiang Xiaobai.
Jiang Xiaobai had already wiped out all the food. Prepare for activity to speed up the absorption of nutrients.
Hearing Liu Bo's words, I looked at him with an excited look on his face. Jiang Xiaobai was inexplicably irritable in his heart, and said, "You let him go back, I'm not free." ”
"It's a great honor, how can you not go. Liu Bo said, and he was going to pull Jiang Xiaobai out.
Jiang Xiaobai broke free and said, "I'm going to go to you, aren't you all ready?"
"Really, then I'll go. Liu Bo didn't see Jiang Xiaobai's ugly face, he was now completely surrounded by happiness. After saying that, it was like running out the door.
"Liu Bo~" Jiang Xiaobai shouted at the door.
Liu Bo stopped, only to find that Jiang Xiaobai looked at him like a stranger. He asked weakly, "What's wrong?"
"We are friends. Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking. Show a smile and say no more.
"Of course, we are ......," Liu Bozheng said.
The voice of the middle-aged man at the door came. "Why hasn't it come out yet, is it dead? He said impatiently. The tone was as if he had come to arrest a prisoner.
"Here we are. Liu Bo replied. walked out of the door and said to the middle-aged man: "Xiaobai is not feeling well, I will go to receive the award for him." My thank-you words are all written. ”
"Why is it uncomfortable at this time. It doesn't matter, just have someone come with me to claim the prize. The middle-aged man said even more impatiently.
Then the gong and drum team beat and escorted Liu Bo to the Great Hall.
After Jiang Xiaobai and the others left, they practiced long boxing in the courtyard. I was not happy in my heart, and a set of long fists became more and more fierce by him the more I practiced.
Not long after Liu Bo entered the door today, he felt that Liu Bo was different from usual and became snobbish. From his demeanor and tone, it is obvious that he has a taste of deliberately pleasing himself.
Coupled with Liu Bo's performance towards the middle-aged man just now, Jiang Xiaobai was very afraid of losing this friend. That's why he said that, hoping that Liu Bo could come to his senses.
Liu Bo has been back since yesterday. As Jiang Xiaobai's friend, he has been praised by many people. It made him feel respected like he had never received before.
Most of the people in the village knew him. When you see him, you will stop and say hello to him. Let Liu Bo, who has been neglected and has an inferiority complex because of his thinness since he was a child, found a new door.
He wants to prove to the whole village that he can be good. It gave him a fluttering feeling. He enjoyed it.
The gong and drum corps carried him all the way to the Great Hall, and the middle-aged man took him inside. The General Assembly Hall was packed. There are those who know, and there are those who don't. Liu Bo didn't care much about this. He just wants to prove himself.
"What about Jiang Xiaobai?" the village chief stood by the door and didn't see Jiang Xiaobai ask.
This sentence woke Liu Bo up at once. He saw everyone in the Assembly Hall staring at him. The originally bright smile on his face gradually disappeared. It gave him a bad premonition.
Don't wait for him to answer. The middle-aged man said: "Dad, Jiang Xiaobai is uncomfortable, let his friend ......"
"By the way, what's your name?" the middle-aged man said halfway, turning his head and asking Liu Bo.
"Liu Bo~ My name is Liu Bo. Liu Bo replied with a sweat on his head.
"Yes, it's Liu Bo. Jiang Xiaobai asked him to accept the award instead of him. The middle-aged man continued to say to the village chief.
"Nonsense, can this be replaced, aren't you afraid of other village jokes when you say it?" said the village chief, holding back his anger.
"Dad~ I can't help but give awards! It's all here, just let him go up and try it." The middle-aged man pointed at Liu Bo and said to the village chief.
Many of the villagers can't wait to see the heroes who fight the tigers. Discussions erupted, and the entire General Assembly Hall was buzzing.
"Okay then! You go up and try it. When you go up in a while, you must explain that you are taking the place of the tiger hero to receive the award. Do you know?" the village chief had no other way to explain to Liu Bo.
Liu Bo didn't know how he got on the podium. The people in the audience all looked at him with puzzled expressions. It's like he's been put in a frying pan now. I just want to finish the manuscript quickly and get out of here.
Under the gaze of everyone, he took out the manuscript tremblingly and began to read: "I want to thank the village chief, it is his care ......"
When the people in the audience heard this, they began to heckle loudly. The village chief's face was as black as the bottom of the pot.
"Dad, it turns out that the hero of fighting tigers was cultivated by you. The village chief's son said to him.
When the village chief heard his son's words, his face turned from black to blue. He kicked his son and said, "Go and bring him the pennant and tell him to get out." ”
Liu Bo heard the commotion below, and he couldn't read it anymore. But he didn't know what to do, and still read in a hoarse voice: "Thank you to the villagers for your ...... for many years."
"He's not a tiger hero, I'm going to fight a tiger hero. A cute child's voice said. The person who spoke was the little girl who was rescued.
Liu Bozheng wanted to explain. But the little girl's words were like a pebble thrown into the lake. Waves.
The villagers shouted: "We want to fight the tiger heroes~ We want to fight the tiger heroes~" The voice was overshadowed. Liu Bo holding a microphone.
Liu Bo looked at everyone blankly. In the crowd, found his mother. She was looking at her son with a puzzled expression.
Liu Bo was ashamed now, and wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into. At this time, he finally saw the village chief and his son, escorting a pennant up.
Liu Bo thought that when he got the pennant, the nightmare was about to end. He can get out of here.
