Chapter 31: The Father and the Son
The winter sun makes people feel extra warm, the smoke rises, and the Mengjia Village at the foot of the mountain is a peaceful scene. Meng Qingqiang has been walking with people for more than a week. The villagers of Mengjia Village are still working hard to transform their homes under the leadership of Chen Lao.
After breakfast, Liu and Huang led the villagers to the open space in front of the small building for physical and combat training. Huang Guangming carefully instructed the villagers in fighting and the use of weapons, while Liu Tiefeng on the side was listless. Seeing his appearance, Huang Guangming was secretly happy, Wang Yan had been gone for many days, since she went to the transit station with the village chief, Liu Tiefeng looked like a gelding all day long, Huang Guangming secretly thought that fortunately his Shumin was still there, otherwise both of them might lose their spirits.
really said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, and he was still thinking about Liu Shumin just now, when he suddenly saw his sweetheart, he ran over with a panicked face, and Huang Guangming greeted him without saying a word.
"Somin, what's wrong? Urgent. ”
"Brother Huang, Meng Le, Yang Yu, and Xiao Xinyu are gone, some villagers said that they saw them eat breakfast and left the village and went to the mountain, recently some people in the village said that they had seen traces of wild beasts on the mountain, I am afraid that they are in danger."
Listening to Liu Shumin's words, Huang Guangming and Liu Tiefeng were also taken aback, and Liu Tiefeng jumped up and beckoned the villagers to take their weapons and prepare to go out of the village to search for them.
Since Meng Qingqiang and Bai Ying left, Meng Le is like a wild horse on the loose, he is the son of the village chief, and the adults and children in the village have given him a few points, plus he is pure and kind, and the people in the village also like him very much, plus the martial arts coach Wang Yan is not there, and Liu Shumin, who is left, is weak and gentle and a little unable to control him.
Meng Le's weekdays are not short of meat and vegetables, and he has been exercising, so he is ten years old and Yang Yu, who is three years older than him, is almost the same in size, Yang Yu is the son of Yang Fei, the person in charge of the power plant, he and Meng Le, Chen Xinyu are very good, and stay together all day.
This morning, the three of them made an appointment, took their guys, put on their backpacks, and walked to the hill at the edge of the village, ready to hunt, Meng Qingqiang did not allow children to touch the gun, so the three of them only had small crossbows, slingshots and other weapons, and Meng Le also brought a short axe that Meng Qingqiang gave him, although it was a little heavy, but he hung it on his waist all day long.
There was silence in the forest after the snow, only the occasional call of birds and birds could be heard, due to the cold weather, coupled with the villagers' clearance, the mutants on the mountain have become extinct, so the three little ones enjoy the hunting time without worry.
Meng Le, who was holding a short crossbow, walked in the front, while Yang Fei, who was holding a short spear, walked behind, and Xiao Xinyu in the middle was only holding a small slingshot.
Meng Le, who was suddenly walking in the front, waved his hand, and the three little guys immediately got together, Meng Le pointed to the horizontal branch of a pine tree in front, and saw a gray bird finch standing on it combing its feathers, and Meng Le, who put down his crossbow, took out a large slingshot from his pocket, and Yang Yu also put down the short spear in his hand when he saw this, and also took out a slingshot, and the three of them aimed and fired at the same time, only to see the bird and finch suddenly shook and fell, and the three of them pounced on it with cheers.
Then there was a sound of argument in the forest, who hit it, and after some arguments, it was not understood, and finally it was decided to count the collective results, and soon the three of them were happy again. As they went deeper and deeper, the forest grew thicker and denser.
After shooting a few more birds, the three little ones decided not to go any further, they chose a sheltered tree, built a bonfire, plucked a few birds to remove their dirt, put on branches and put them on the fire, and roasted them.
I have to say that the environment exercises people, before the disaster, these three little guys should all carry schoolbags, go to and from school every day, pick up and deliver cars, and live with TV snacks, but now, the three of them have already started to be little hunters, not to mention the two boys, who are as familiar as Xiao Xinyu as a girl.
Seeing that the bird was almost roasted, the three of them put down the comics and game consoles in their hands, and were about to start a picnic, when suddenly the bushes behind Xinyu shook, and with the sound of heavy breathing, a black bear was drilled!
"Bear!! Bear"
I was amazed to see the three little ones of the black bear. Meng Le, who grabbed the crossbow in his hand, shouted, "God, how can there be a bear here?!" ”
Yang Yu on the side also picked up the short spear and said, "How do I know, it won't be out of the zoo." Aren't bears supposed to hibernate in winter?!"
In fact, he really said right, this bear used to live in a nearby zoo, and it is also a black bear living in Southeast Asia, living in the south it has no habit of hibernation at all, after the disaster due to the power outage, it was lucky to escape from the zoo, relying on instinct to escape the killing of mutants, came to the hill near Mengjia Village, at this time it has not eaten for many days has been hungry, three small roast birds, it followed the taste and came over.
Xin Yu, who turned his head and saw the black bear, screamed and jumped up, while the hungry black bear was also furious, stood up and roared loudly.
The three little ones turned around in fright and ran. And this run didn't matter, but it caused the black bear to chase after him.
The forest is covered with dead branches and leaves, coupled with snow, it is difficult to walk, not to mention the panicked running, and soon, Xinyu, who ran at the end, fell down without accident.
Seeing the black bear approaching, Xinyu, who fell, did not get up again, just sat on the ground and cried in horror, and at this moment, a figure blocked the girl's body.
Meng Le, who turned back, shouted for Xinyu to get up and run quickly, and raised the short crossbow in his hand, and at this time, the black bear also came closer, it straightened up its huge body, saliva and roared, the situation was very critical.
Meng Le trembled, but he didn't take a step back, he jerked the trigger, and the crossbow arrow shot out in response, piercing the black bear's shoulder.
Unfortunately, the crossbow was short and weak, and his panicked hands were shaking, so the arrow did not bring much harm to the black bear, but only angered it even more.
A bear's paw whistled down, blood splattered, the crossbow flew away, and the tip of its claw slashed across the childish face.
Yang Yu, who was reflected, saw that Meng Le was knocked down, and he also rushed over with a short spear shouting, but it was still to no avail, and his small body and the broken short spear rolled to the side.
Xiao Xinyu was so frightened that she couldn't make a sound, so she could only watch blankly at a short figure once again, blocking in front of her. Meng Le clenched the short axe in both hands and shouted desperately in the face of the black bear, but the blood on his face made his young face show a might. The black bear was also shocked by the burst of momentum and retreated slightly.
At this moment, two gunshots rang out, "bang, bang", and the black bear's eyeballs exploded and he fell to the ground. Huang Guangming and others finally arrived, they found the smoke rising from a distance, and when they got closer, they saw an amazing scene in front of them, Huang Guangming, a special soldier, shot first, and killed the black bear with two shots. The crowd breathed a sigh of relief
The three children who escaped from the catastrophe were scared enough, and Xiao Xinyu fell into his grandfather's arms and cried silently, Liu Shumin and others also hurriedly checked the children's injuries, Xinyu just broke his foot, and Yang Yu was not in a big deal except for a little abrasion, only Meng Le, who had been bravely blocking in front of Xinyu, had two deep wounds on his face, the wound was drawn from the left cheekbone to the chin, the skin and flesh were turned over, and the blood did not stop. The group didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly took the children down the mountain to return to the village.
A few days later, Meng Qingqiang and others, who had gained a lot of money, returned to Mengjia Village with satisfaction. Before he could speak freely with the separated people, he saw his son, whose face was covered with gauze.
With tears in her eyes, Bai Ying untied the gauze on Meng Le's face, and the shocking wound made her cover her mouth and cry, while Meng Qingqiang, who was sitting on the side, had a gloomy face and didn't say a word.
Chen Lao and the others who were standing around felt very ashamed of not taking a good look at the child, and apologized one after another, but the little guy pointed to the bear skin drying at the door and bragged.
"Shut up! Act recklessly! Meng Qingqiang looked at his son's little face, feeling very distressed, but still angrily stopped his words
At this time, Xiao Xinyu, who was standing beside Chen Lao, walked over with red eyes, and said in a choked voice: "Uncle Meng, don't scold Meng Le, he became like this to save me, I know he has become ugly, but it doesn't matter, when I grow up, I will be his daughter-in-law, I don't think he is ugly." Meng Le, are you still in pain? ”
Listening to the little girl's immature voice, everyone who was sad and ashamed just now was stunned for a while, and Wang Yan, who was standing on the side, burst out laughing.
"Brother Meng, don't be angry, Lele is also very powerful, he will be a hero to save the beauty at a young age, although he has broken his appearance, he has a little daughter-in-law, and he will not suffer." After saying that, he laughed again.
When Meng Qingqiang heard her words, he couldn't hold back his laughter, and the gloomy atmosphere was swept away for a while. Xiao Mengle saw that his father was not angry, so he added fuel and vinegar to tell him what was going on that day.
Looking at his heroic son in front of him, Meng Qingqiang shook his head, he stood up, untied the holster tied to his leg, and handed it to the little guy along with the pistol inside.
"You have finally grown up, you are a man, you have learned to protect others, Dad is very pleased, but in the future, you can't be proud, practice more skills, just have a heart is not enough, but also powerful, only when you are strong can you have the qualification to protect your relatives and friends, this gun is for you, you will follow Uncle Huang and Uncle Liu in the future, practice hard, don't be like this time, wait for others to come to the rescue, manhood must rely on his own hands to protect important people!"
There seemed to be a lot of excited little stars in the little guy's eyes, and he nodded heavily, and he couldn't wait to tie the gun to his thigh.
Everyone on the side looked at Meng Le, who had a short axe pinned to his waist and a pistol tied to his leg, with a scar on his face, and a small version of Meng Qingqiang, who was alive, and they all felt very interesting, and even Bai Ying, who was still sad for her son, couldn't help but look at the big and small figures and laughed.
Children who have grown up learning from their fathers, like the rising sun, will one day bring the dawn of hope.
