Chapter 3: The Boy and the Dog

"The big guys are all gone, Xiaotian is fine!" Sun Laofu said to the crowd of people, but when I walked in, he looked at me a little strangely, shook his head and sighed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Mother, my dad is fine." I asked softly, and my mother made a pouting motion, but I didn't ask again, and then I noticed that my father's eyes were a little dim and weak.

"You kid, what are you doing in a daze, go find some dry firewood, go to the kitchen and light the fire, I'm going to boil medicine for your father." I answered, turned and headed for the kitchen.

Rhubarb, who had just stopped barking, barked again in the yard, and his two front paws kept digging into the dirt in the yard, I was a little puzzled and walked over, maybe I sensed something, Rhubarb stopped picking up the soil, and pounced towards the wagging tail.

"Wow!" It barked twice and shook its head and tail, I squatted down and touched its head, looking at the pit it it had dug out with its claws, the clear dog paw prints were all over the small pit, I fixed my eyes and saw that it was a simple black knife, the strange thing is that the blade has not been stained with the slightest rust, but it is still cold and shining.

I didn't use the black knife, and buried the small hole that Rhubarb had dug out, and Rhubarb seemed a little dissatisfied, and let out a few low wails, and went back to his kennel to lie down.

A few hours later, my mother boiled the yellow dragon grass given by Sun Laofu into a bowl of yellow decoction, gave it to my father, and hastily turned off the lights and went to sleep.

The night seemed uneventful, but I couldn't sleep as I tossed and turned in bed, and all I could think about was the story that had been left on a few pages of the story.

In the second half of the night, the gongs sounded, and the rhubarb in the yard was also screaming, I opened my sleepy eyes in a daze, put on my clothes and shoes randomly, and saw that the courtyard was bright, and the flashlight for lighting was hung by my mother, holding the machete that usually chops wood in both hands and guarded the door.

"God, why are you up, go back to sleep!" My mother looked panicked and clenched her hand on the machete. I was also trembling unconsciously.

"Mother, what's the matter, it's the middle of the night, what are you doing at the door with a knife and a pestle." I was a little puzzled, and asked directly, how did I know that my mother didn't explain to me at all, kicked me in the ass, scolded, and said that she would let me go back to sleep.

I pretended to be obedient, and when I returned to the house, I tiptoed on the window again, wanting to see what was going on, dozens of torches in the distance were particularly dazzling in the dark night, and I muttered in my heart, and I thought that several tunzi outside had been electrified for many years, why did our tunzi not be electrified, or was there something hidden in between.

I don't know how long I lay at the window, my feet were numb and I didn't move, until the dawn was almost dawn, the door of my house was opened, and my mother put down the machete in her hand, then I noticed that my father's face was bloodless, and he whispered a few words to my mother, and the two of them returned to the house in silence.

The morning sun is rising, the east is white, in this late autumn day, I rarely get up early in the morning, and the rhubarb that has been barking in the middle of the night is gone in the morning.

As soon as I was about to go out, I was reprimanded by my father, "You are not allowed to go anywhere this morning, stay at home honestly, and go back to your grandmother's house with your mother in the afternoon." "I don't know why my dad did that, and I didn't think much of it, oh.

When my father and mother were out, I took out the wooden box hidden under my bed, put it in my arms, and carefully put it back under my father's bed, but when I pulled out the green brick, the three copper coins that were close to the gap in the green brick caught my attention.

After returning the wooden box to its place, I took out the three copper coins that had been stuck in the gap in the bricks, looked at them, saw nothing, and hurriedly put them in my pocket.

Coincidentally, as soon as I crawled out from under the bed and cleaned the dust off my body, I pretended to be full of arms with my mother.

"What are you looking for in my house?"

"I'm not looking for anything, I'm just hungry, find something to eat, mom go cook." I was a little flustered, but my mother didn't think much of it and laughed at me.

"You're a starving ghost, you wait for me to cook for you." My mother is a typical housewife, weaving and cooking has become a daily thing for her, and even the cloth shoes I wore when I was a child were sewn by her with stitches and threads.

I was a little weak-hearted, swallowed a mouthful of spit, and was just about to take a step when a foul smell hit my nose.

"Wang! Woof! "Rhubarb doesn't know when he got into the house, but fortunately, my mother just left, otherwise this dog would have been beaten.

Rhubarb stuck out his tongue, and the hair on his whole body was wet, giving off a smell that made me sick, ", you dead dog, you stink, did you fall into the dung pit." I yelled angrily and ran away from the rhubarb, thinking that the stupid dog had actually chased after me.

I had no choice but to take a basin of water and splash it at the rhubarb, but the effect of a basin of water was obviously not much, the smell only weakened, but it was still very pungent, and the feeling was more sour than the socks I had not washed for a month.

After three or four basins of water, the smell of rhubarb was very faint, it shook its body, and after getting rid of the water on its hair, it called at me, I was a little strange, the washed rhubarb was more energetic than before.

You must know that this yellow dog, I have been in my house since I was a child, in addition to playing with Ge Dazhuang, I spend more time with this yellow dog.

"Mother, why is the chain tied to rhubarb missing?" I was a little puzzled, this yellow dog seems to have been free-range since yesterday, it used to be tied up, and the details that were ignored yesterday suddenly remembered it, and it suddenly made me a little puzzled.

"Ask your father, he put the dog." My mother was a little impatient, as if she was venting something, and sat alone in front of the stove with firewood.

"Oh, mother, my father said that let us go to my grandmother's house in the afternoon, I can't go so far." I really didn't want to go to my grandmother's house, I was used to being in the countryside, and suddenly going to live in the city for a while was a torment for me.

I don't know how my parents met, it seems that my mother didn't say it, but I went to my grandmother's house more than a dozen times a year since I was a child, and every time I removed my grandfather, my uncles, aunts or something, we were not very welcome.

"God gives you to clean up, wait for your father to come back, we will leave after dinner, remember to go to your grandma's house, be obedient, you are not young."

"I know, mother, I promise to be obedient, when will your meal be ready, my stomach is almost hungry." I muttered, my stomach growling.
