Chapter XVI Distress
It was a sunny day with no clouds. The old lady suddenly rose to take a look outside. It's April now, and the villagers in the mountains know that spring can't hurt the mother beast with her cubs, so there is not much hunting, every family is busy planting seedlings, and children as young as seven or eight years old also have to help in the fields.
The maid and the woman and her group of people surrounded the old lady out of the village, afraid that the villagers would kowtow or something to delay the farm work, and the old lady only needed to go around under her own mountain to speak.
Before going out, there was a young man who sold the hare in his hand to Zhuang Tou, and took a string of money from Zhuang Tou's hand, and he was very handsome and had a sallow complexion, not short but a little thin, and at a glance he knew that this was caused by long-term malnutrition.
Seeing that a large number of people from the maid and the maid were coming over, the head of the village hurriedly came over, saw the old lady looking at the child, and explained: "This is a child from the village, don't look at the twelve-year-old and thin, but he is born with divine power and is a good hunter. ”
The old lady nodded and said, "It's not easy for such an older child, you can't bully others." Zhuang Tou hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare." The old lady didn't pay much attention to it, but only called the head of the village and a few rough envoys, and a group of people came to the bottom of the mountain.
Looking at the flowers all over the mountains and breathing the unpolluted air, even the old lady exhaled lightly, and happily pointed out to the maids around her the wild vegetables they saw along the way, which wild vegetables can be eaten, which wild vegetables can cure diseases, the old lady is clear.
After walking a short distance, there is a small stream, the water is shallow, very clear, and you can see small fish and shrimp swimming at the bottom of the water. Across the stream, not far from the woods, the old lady smiled and said, "Let's just eat lunch tonight, and ask someone to bring some meat and vegetables, and we will roast and eat." A group of maids and servants applauded.
When everything was ready, the floor was covered with clean mats and felt, and there were servants roasting meat and stir-frying vegetables beside them, and the maids sat down around the old lady, which was really beautiful like a painting.
The aroma of barbecue gradually spread, and at this moment, there was a commotion in the woods, and before everyone could take a closer look, a wild boar came out of the woods like a gust of wind, and ran straight towards everyone, scaring the ladies and relatives.
Su Su was stunned for a moment, and immediately came back to his senses, but he didn't care about anything, and shouted: "Sister Pearl, quickly protect the old lady and run to Zhuangzi." This shout woke everyone up, and the servant woman panicked, and Pearl and a few maids escorted the old lady to run into the village, and they didn't care about any manners, and shouted as they ran.
Su Su didn't have time to think about it, so he took out a burning wooden stick from the barbecue grill and chased after everyone, and the wild boar, which was about two hundred pounds in size, passed through the stream and went straight to the barbecue grill, as if it was scalded by the meat, and the women shouted loudly, startled it, and howled straight to the crowd.
Su Su was very glad that the men of Da Chu did not bind their feet, and they were not far from Zhuangzi, and at this time someone had already heard the shouting and ran over, but the speed of the wild boar was not comparable to that of this group of pampered women. Susu was also afraid, but reason told her that she must not let the wild boar hurt the old lady. If something happens to the old lady, all the people present, including her, will definitely not have any good fruit to eat. Even if the old lady is merciful, who dares to put the slave who is not effective in protecting the master by her side anymore.
Su Su was reincarnated, watching the wild boar that was getting closer and closer and raised his stick, and at this time, Yang Liu, who heard the voice and turned back, saw this scene and exclaimed: "Su Su! The old lady and the pearl and the others couldn't help but turn their heads, and the wild boar was only ten meters away from them, and the villain behind them had already raised a wooden stick thicker than her arm, and protected them with a lonely courage of a husband.
Seeing that the wild boar came to him, saying that it was too late and that it was fast, a sharp arrow broke through the air and shot directly at the head of the wild boar, and a figure also rushed forward, grabbed the hind legs of the wild boar, and with a "bang", the wild boar of more than 200 catties was dragged out three or four meters away, and Su Su touched the little face that was splashed with pig blood, and smirked at the young man with a cold face in front of him: "Little brother, you are so good." With that, he fainted.
And Su Su, who fainted after selling cuteness, naturally didn't see the surprise and smile in the little boy's eyes, and didn't know that people still caught her fainted little body, let alone beat the maid who collapsed on the ground and the old lady who was standing strongly. And the villagers who followed the little boy praised again and again: "The strength of the sheng boy is great again, fortunately, you came in time." ”
The women put the old lady and the maids into the Zhuangzi, naturally did not forget Su Su, the old lady even asked everyone to place Su Su in the blue yarn cupboard in their main house, invited the old doctor in the village to show Su Su, and asked people to invite the little hero who shot the wild boar into the Zhuangzi. The men in the village had already lifted the wild boar to Zhuangzi, and the old lady used the wild boar to set up a banquet and called the whole village to eat in the Zhuangzi.
Su Su was not injured, the reason why he fainted was purely because he was scared and out of strength, so he woke up before dinner, his head and face were cleaned up, and the clothes on his body had been changed cleanly.
Bi Si was sitting on the edge of the couch in a daze, when she heard the sound and saw Su Su wake up, she rushed over and hugged Su Su and cried with joy: "You finally woke up." Bi Si, who has always been reserved, was really frightened when he saw this, and thinking back to the scene at that time, Su Su was also afraid for a while. Patting Bith on the back, "It's okay, it's okay!" Bith snorted and laughed: "You stinky girl, but let you comfort me." Su Su smirked: "What about the wild boar?" But I have to tell the old lady that I have to eat two bowls of meat to get angry. ”
At this time, the old lady and Pearl and other maids who were entering the blue yarn cabinet to visit Su Su couldn't help but laugh, and this smile diluted the fear in their hearts.
Su Su saw the old lady coming in and was busy getting up to salute, so the old lady stopped her and sat next to Su Su: "Good boy, don't talk about two bowls of meat, as long as you are good, the old lady is willing to eat a pig." After that, he stroked the top of Su Su's hair, "Su Su, why were you so bold at that time?" If you have a bad one, how can I be at ease? ”
Su Su cautiously stuck to the old lady's side, her palm-sized little face was up, her eyes were clear, "At that time, the slave maid was also afraid, but the slave maid knew that she was not as fast as her sisters, and she couldn't protect the old lady, so it was better to just block the wild boar, the slave maid had a stick in her hand." What she said made the old lady and the pearl almost shed tears, and the old lady didn't know what to say, but muttered: "Silly boy! ”
Su Su smiled: "As the saying goes, fools have foolish blessings!" Old lady, what about the little brother who saved Su Su? There is no way to repay the grace of saving his life, at least Su Su wants to say thank you in person. ”
The old lady smiled: "That's not just your savior, it's mine." But that little boy is very good-natured, and he doesn't want anything or money. I heard that the child was an orphan who grew up eating hundreds of family meals. ”
As soon as Su Su heard this, she knew that the old lady was sincere in repaying this life-saving grace on the one hand, and on the other hand, she was also afraid of spreading a reputation of ingratitude. Su Su thought for a while and said: "That little brother grew up eating hundreds of family meals, and he must have a deep affection for the neighbors in the village, since he refuses to accept gold and silver, it is better to benefit the neighbors, presumably because of this friendship, the village should take more care of him." ”
When the old lady heard the applause, Pearl also smiled and said: "No wonder the old lady took a fancy to Su Su at a glance, how did this little head grow melon seeds?" ”
The old lady thought for a while and said, "Send a message to Zhuangtou to exempt Hongshan Village from land rent this year." Pearl nodded and went out to speak. Su Su thought that although he had no long things, he couldn't reveal the grace of saving his life in a word, "The slave doesn't have any great skills, and in the future, I will make eight sets of clothes for my little brother every year, all of which should be a part of my heart." ”
The old lady praised: "This is a good idea, the child is alone, although he has the help of his neighbors, but the family is not rich, these things must be ill-thought-out." ”
