Chapter 46: I've Taken a Fancy to You
【92z】 When I got up the next morning, I was surprised to find that a Band-Aid had fallen out of the bed. When I looked at it again, all the scratched wounds on my body were scabbed.
"So?"
I don't understand, this speed is obviously wrong, the scratched wound will be a little red and swollen the next day, and it will scab overnight, which is too fast.
I tried to remove the scab and found that although there was still blood underneath, it was indeed a hard shell.
"Could it be that the woman in red helped me recover?"
I guess last time she came to me with a serious injury, sucking me black and sucking me all over the face, and she saw me hurt last night, so she helped me too?
Thinking of this possibility, I suddenly felt strange, I was scared by her at first, but now I seem to have slowly become accustomed to her presence.
……
Shaking my head, I got up immediately, it was already three poles in the morning, and the mandrill had not been fed for two days and three nights, and it was estimated that it was about to starve to death.
I bottled a little well water with mineral water, rode a motorcycle to a waste brick kiln, dug out some dead loaches and rotten yellow eels buried in the soil, and walked in with my nose pinched.
To my surprise, there was a pile of broken bones scattered next to the mandrill's chicken coop, and a green melon scoop with water in it.
It's been fed!
The bite marks on the bones are very fresh, and the melon scoop filled with water is not his own, and he usually uses a rotten porcelain bowl to feed water.
The silver-eyed mandrill looked at me, struggling in horror, jumping up and down, not at all like he had been hungry for two days and three nights.
I couldn't help but wonder, who fed it?
Huang Mao or Cao Nan?
After thinking about it, I called Cao Nan first and asked if he had come to feed the silver-eyed mandrill, but he said that he had been taking care of his father in the health center and had never come.
I called Huang Mao again, but he was swearing in the Internet café, and he didn't listen to me carefully at all, so obviously it couldn't be him.
I was immediately alarmed, could anyone other than the three of us know about the existence of the Silver-Eyed Mandrill?
But if you know, why do you want to feed us? If someone who practices Dharma has his eye on the mandrill, he can take it away and take it as his own, so why stay here?
It's a paradoxical thing, because it's a bit inexplicable.
I immediately rode back, dragged Huang Mao from the Internet café back to the store, and told the story again.
Huang Mao listened to it at this time, "You mean, someone gave the silver-eyed mandrill food and drink?" ”
I nodded, saying that it was alive and kicking, not at all like it had not eaten or drunk for two days and three nights.
"Have you seen the scoop that filled the water, is it green or dry?" Huang Mao asked again.
I didn't understand what he was asking for what he was doing, but I remembered it anyway and said, "The melon scoop is green." ”
"There you have it." Huang Mao snapped his fingers and said: "The melon scoop is green, which means that it has just been picked from the melon seedlings, and there is only one conclusion, eating and drinking are sent by those mandrill minions." ”
"You mean, it's the mandrills of the mountains who bring water and food to their leaders?" I was surprised, but Huang Mao's judgment was very reasonable.
The scoop is a kind of thing called a scoop gourd, which is cut and dried, specially used to scoop water, and in the old days when there were no plastic products, everyone used the scoop to kiln water.
And the scoop used by people must be sun-dried, because if it is not dried, it will rot in two days when it is stained with raw water.
But the glance fed to the silver-eyed mandrill was cyan, and the process was completely conceivable, and the mandrill minions did not find the tool to bring water to the leader of the mandrill, so they did not know where to pick a scoop of melon and break it and use it to hold water.
It can also be seen that the mandrill is a very intelligent thing.
"However, isn't the mandrill herd enslaved, and the silver-eyed mandrill is expelled, why do you still give it food and drink?" I wondered that I hadn't figured this out, so I mistakenly thought that it was a person who delivered the food.
"This is a broken thread, which is not a bad thing, which shows that the silver-eyed mandrill still has a certain majesty in the group, but it just doesn't dare to go back to the mountain." Huang Mao said, and said: "Actually, you can think about it, although the silver-eyed mandrill is lying on your aunt's back to suck popularity, it always has to eat and drink, who has been supplying it all these years, it can only be the mandrill below." ”
I nodded approvingly, and that made sense.
"Then can I stop feeding it in the future?" I hope to ask, dealing with those dead loaches and stinky yellow eels every day, not to mention disgusting, and it costs money.
"That's not going to work!" Huang Mao immediately straightened up and said: "If you want to tame the silver-eyed mandrill, you must let it get familiar with you first, if you don't go, it will definitely not work, try not to let those mandrill minions do it for you, otherwise its wildness will not disappear, and it will never be tamed." ”
The corners of my mouth pulled, and my heart said that you have a mouth, let's do it, Lao Tzu spends money, not to mention that it also affects appetite.
I was upset, so I had a few words with Huang Mao.
At that moment, a man came in at the door, with a graceful posture and a basket in his hand.
When I saw it, I was quite surprised, Feng Deliang's wife, Wang!
Yesterday, I met Feng Deliang on the mountain, and today Wang is also here, which is really amazing.
Wang Shi smiled at me, saw the yellow hair beside me, looked a little unnatural, and said, "Xiao Lei, where are you." ”
"It's Aunt Wang, come in and sit." I went out and pulled up a chair for her, and said, "Is there something you are here for?" ”
"Oh, I...... I'm not going to sit down, there's something going on at home. She was obviously a little cramped, walked in and put the basket on the counter, and said, "Isn't it almost half a year ago, I made some Qingtuan rice crackers, which are a bit too much, and I can't eat them all by myself, thinking that there is no one around you, so I brought some over for you to taste." ”
"This ...... How embarrassing is that. "I was flattered and weird at the same time.
Rice crackers can be regarded as a Hakka specialty in the south, and they are made of rice flour, because the south only produces rice but not wheat, and there is no flour, so only rice flour can be used.
There are two kinds of rice crackers, one is Aimi Fruit, the other is Qingtuan Rice Cracker, Aimi Fruit is steamed with soft rice flour of mugwort leaves in March of Yangchun, and is steamed before the Qingming Festival; Qingtuan rice crackers are July 15.
It's a custom, but if it's just that, it doesn't make me feel weird. The real reason is that these two kinds of rice crackers have another function - to express their hearts.
In the past, if a girl in the countryside fell in love with a man, she would send these two things to confess, signaling that if the other party was also interesting, she could come to the door to propose.
Don't laugh at it, country women are different from the ladies who don't go out of one door and the other door, and when they really meet the men they like, they are often much more active than those who are passively waiting.
And they don't know the elegant things of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting from big families, and the way to show their virtue is to make a good rice cracker.
Rice crackers are something that the family enjoys around the table, and giving rice crackers means that you want to be a family with you.
Of course, this way is no longer in this era, and it seems very earthy.
But the soil is returned to the soil, and the sayings and concepts are still there!
If someone's girl likes a descendant, people will joke that Xiao Nizi secretly gave rice crackers to that descendant.
That's why I feel weird, this thing is generally not easy to give away, if it is sent between relatives and elders, it is nothing, but I and Wang are not related.
"You're welcome, anyway, my aunt can't finish eating alone, you are busy first, and my aunt will leave first." Wang said, turned around and wanted to leave.
"Aunt Wang, wait a minute." I hurriedly called out to her and said, "Thank you for your kindness, if I replace this basket, you can take it away now." ”
Although it feels weird, I can't refuse her kindness.
"Don't worry, you'll return it to me when you're done." Wang smiled, and left in a hurry after speaking, looking like he was fleeing.
……
"Ouch...... Tut-tut-tut. ”
As soon as Wang left, Huang Mao came over and squeezed his eyebrows at me, and said obscenely: "This love is long, boy, your peach blossom luck is good." ”
I glared at him and said, "They just sent some food, what are you thinking?" ”
"Am I deluded?"
Huang Mao was not angry, and said: "Boy, do you really don't understand or don't understand, she has taken a fancy to you!" ”
"It's over, isn't it?"
I'm angry, I have to have a degree of joking, Wang's age is two rounds older than me, what's the same?
Huang Mao suddenly rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "Why is your reaction so slow, she wants to borrow seeds from you, stupid!" ”
"What?!" I was stunned
"Tsk!" Huang Mao looked like you were stupid, "You still don't understand, Feng Da Niu hasn't conceived after working on her for a month, she has shifted her target to you!" ”
"I'll go!"
I was stunned, what was this?
