Another morning, Lin Muya, who had slept peacefully all night, was awakened by the sound of birdsong, and when she saw that the sky was bright, she got up busily. I went down the ladder to the attic, and saw half a pot of goat's milk on the stove, knowing that it was for myself, I drank it in one go, and went out to wash the pot.

Outside the door, Zhou Meng was dressed neatly, and was putting the bulging cloth bag into the back basket, I don't know what it was loading, it seemed that he was going out. When Zhou Meng heard the footsteps, he didn't raise his head, and said to Lin Muya: "I'll go down the mountain and come back before noon, you are honest here, don't run around." ”

"Okay! What are you going to do? Lin Muya asked curiously.

Zhou Meng didn't hide it, and said directly: "Let's see if anyone adopts you." ”

When Lin Muya heard this, she remembered that she was unpopular, and laughed dryly: "Hehe, I'm a girl, maybe no one wants to ask for it, don't worry!" Take your time. ”

Zhou Meng ignored it, picked up the things he packed and went down the mountain.

Lin Muya teased the goat for a while, and found a nest of ants after watching it for a long time, feeling a little bored, and was about to have some fun, when she heard the bleating of sheep behind the house, and hurriedly ran over to look.

A large flock of sheep was grazing on the hillside, and a sheep herder with a broken straw hat was watching with a whip.

Lin Muya got closer, and the sheep herding baby also found her, and neither of them spoke, looking at each other.

The sheep baby is about eight or nine years old, not tall, the face under the broken straw hat is gray, I don't know how long it hasn't been washed, thick eyebrows, round eyes, it looks stupid, but a little cute and cute.

Lin Muya liked this kind of sheep herding baby a little, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Da Chun!" The sheep herding baby said a little naïvely.

"Oh Da Chun, what a name! My name is Xiaoya, and I live here," Lin Muya pointed to the house behind her: "Where do you live?" Da Chun didn't answer, and pointed to the village below the mountain.

"Wow! You've run so far to herd sheep? It's amazing! Are these all your sheep? Lin Muya asked exaggeratedly.

Da Chun seemed to be said to the itchy spot, hehe laughed twice, and talked a lot: "What is this?" I've been farther afield, and I've had to go over two mountains, where the grass is fatter, and the sheep have more milk and meat. ”

Climb two mountains to herd sheep, time is on the road, right? But looking at this little kid is very honest, not like bragging.

Lin Muya doesn't care, there is no tangled search for the roots. Very perfunctory expression of surprise.

She didn't know what she was supposed to do here, she was a little bored, she had someone to talk to, she didn't look stupid, and she didn't care about what she was talking about.

Da Chun is obviously also very happy to have someone to be his companion, the two of them quickly play together, you talk one by one, sometimes they are amused by each other and laugh, and when Lin Muya is hungry, when she remembers to look at the time, she finds that the sun has passed noon, and it is a little westerly. She unconsciously accompanied Da Chun and the sheep to run most of the hillside, and Zhou Meng's house only had a pointed roof and chimney to be seen.

Zhou Meng should be back, I don't know what the result will be? Lin Muya hurriedly said goodbye to Da Chun.

Da Chun already likes this little sister very much, and he hasn't played enough, so he told him several times to play together tomorrow.

Lin Muya was a little anxious, so she ran up! I didn't expect to feel so good about running, now my body is light, my legs are flexible, and I am not tired at all when I run. There was also the wind blowing on her face, tickling, Lin Muya felt that she was a deer, and ran down the hill with a smoke.

Lin Muya, who was sweating profusely, entered the room happily and saw Zhou Meng sitting on the only chair with an expressionless face.

Lin Muya sensitively realized that the situation was wrong! Although Zhou Meng's face was expressionless, it was worse than a gloomy face, as if he was very, very angry. was hit by his own crow's mouth, and things didn't go well?

Zhou Meng said: "Where did you go?" The voice is also straight, without a trace of fluctuation.

Lin Muya had already reacted, because she didn't say a word and ran around, causing trouble to others, and apologized very sincerely: "Uncle, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I won't run around next time." ”

This is the first time that Lin Muya has officially included Zhou Meng's uncle, Zhou Meng was a little stunned when he heard it, and he forgot to say what he had thought of.

Lin Muya explained again: "I was playing with the sheep herding baby Dachun, I didn't pay attention, and ran away with the sheep." ”

Zhou Meng didn't expect this kid to have a good attitude and admit his mistakes so quickly, he held his anger in his throat and didn't let it out. He obviously knew Da Chun too, so he didn't say anything more, and went to cook silently.

Lin Muya quietly breathed a sigh of relief, covered her mouth and snickered, she had already seen Zhou Meng holding a whip in her hand, she didn't have to think about it to know that it was a lesson for disobedient children, fortunately, she reacted quickly, otherwise she wouldn't have survived if she was beaten!

One day later, Lin Muya had just finished drinking goat's milk, and she heard the cries of many sheep outside, and when she came out, she saw that it was Da Chun who kept looking at this on the hillside, and flicked the sheep whip from time to time, and the frightened sheep kept calling.

Zhou Meng saw that Lin Muya got up, and took out a cross-body schoolbag, which contained a leather water bag, a large piece of white flour cake, and a big piece of dried meat between the cake.

Zhou Meng took out the three sheep in the house, carried the schoolbag to Lin Muya, and said to her, "You can also go and herd the sheep, this is lunch." ”

Although he was staggered by the big ewe, the newly appointed sheep herding baby was still very happy to work.

Da Chun ran over to pick up her sheep, looked at her and laughed: "Haha, great, you can also herd sheep with me in the future?" ”

Lin Muya replied: "Yes, but you have to help me, I'm too young to pull the sheep." ”

"Don't worry, I have a lot of strength, you just have to play! Leave it all to me. Da Chun said in a big way.

"Well, Da Chun is the best! How old did you start herding sheep? ”

"I don't remember!" Da Chun probably felt that this answer was not majestic enough, and Hu said: "I started herding sheep when I was two years old!" ”

"I don't believe it!" Lin Muya laughed, and the crisp laughter floated far away.

Zhou Meng watched the two children, one high and one low, walk away, and heard their fairy tales like little adults, a smile spread out at the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but think that it seemed good to leave his niece behind.

Da Chun is worthy of being an experienced sheep herder, and soon found a place with abundant water and grass for the sheep to graze.

Lin Muya was chasing butterflies and catching grasshoppers to play, and Da Chun looked at the sheep very sensibly. Lin Muya played for a while, wanted to drink saliva, and ran back to find that her schoolbag under the tree had been opened, and there were two obvious tooth marks on the dough cake, and Da Chun twisted her head to the side and pretended not to see it.

"Yikes! Who ate my bread? Lin Muya said deliberately.

Da Chun still pointed at Lin Muya with the back of his head, and said sullenly: "I don't know! Didn't see it. ”

Lin Muya said: "Da Chun helped me herd the sheep, and my uncle said that the cakes could be divided into half of Da Chun, but my uncle also said that I couldn't play with lying children. ”

Da Chun turned his head, his face flushed, and he said after a while: "I ate your cakes, I just want to taste them, and I don't want to eat all your cakes." ”

Lin Muya smiled and said, "I know, my uncle said that if you know your mistakes, you will be a good child," Lin Muya broke half of it and handed it to Dachun: "Give you half, thank you for helping me herd sheep!" Da Chun hurriedly waved his hand: "I can't eat your cake, my mother will scold me!" Lin Muya was very angry: "Are we friends?" Aren't you going to help me herd the sheep? Da Chun shook his head and nodded, thinking about it, he nodded and shook his head, Lin Muya, who was looking at it, couldn't pretend to be able to do it, and laughed: "Hahaha, then you will eat, otherwise I won't be good friends with you!" I'm not going to tell your mother! ”

The two villains laughed and ate the meat together. Da Chun felt that this was the best food he had ever eaten.
