Chapter 12: Grandpa Hunter
Grandpa Hunter was a good marksman, and he could hit the fruit of the tallest tree in the forest from a great distance, but he had never hit any of the animals here. ———— and Shibi
The first drop of morning dew in the forest fell from the leaves in fright by the first morning light that suddenly appeared on the horizon, and the first rooster to wake up in the distant village proudly wanted to tell the world that it was the first to get up, and the clucking sound could be heard even in the mountain forest where Heshibi was.
He Shibi immediately jumped out of the nest the moment he heard the chirping, "Immortals, immortals." Calling to me.
The soul does not need and cannot sleep, I have forgotten what it is like to dream, and I counted the leaves of this tree in boredom, and counted one night, this one is ten thousand and twenty-four leaves, and the lesson next to it is eleven thousand. I was in the sky when he called me, observing how the first clouds were formed.
"You're finally awake." It's nice to have a guy talking to me, because I've been so bored all night, and I only know how to be in a daze, and I don't pay attention to me at all, so I can only play with myself. After becoming a soul, I realized how happy it was to be able to sleep.
"Grandpa cried!" It says, "Just now!" ”
"But you were still sleeping!" I glanced at the old man in the cabin who had just sat up from his bed.
He Shibi tilted his head, "Really?" Then he climbed on the branch and looked at the hunter's grandfather's living room from afar.
Under the tree, a chubby squirrel stretched and lifted the fruit that had been buried above his head. Thanks to the blessing of dreams, Landau spent the night in the embrace of fruits and dried fruits. According to Randot, it was the best day of his squirrel life. The chubby little guy reluctantly climbed out of the pile of fruits that had been lying all night, climbed to the top of the tree with "hey, hey, hey", and looked at Heshibi in the tree hole behind him.
The old hunter in the hut washed his face with a basin of water from the water presser in the backyard, hurriedly stuffed something into his mouth, and walked up the hill with a shotgun and a basket on his back. He Shibi quickly climbed down the tree and quickly followed in the woodland. Lan Duo just climbed to the top of the tree, wiped the sweat on his forehead, saw that He Shibi arrived at the bottom of the tree at once, and "hey, hey" grabbed the trunk and slipped down, stood on the fruit pile, took two steps forward, reluctantly glanced at a pile of fruits under the tree, and then looked at Heshibi, who ran away, hurriedly grabbed a handful of hazelnuts, and hurriedly chased after it.
The old hunter walked around the hill with a basket on his back, and when he saw a few mushrooms in the shade of the trees, he picked them and sniffed them, and then threw some edible ones into the basket.
"He'll be happy if I can help him, right?" He Shibi turned his head to me and asked.
"Perhaps." I wondered if an old man who was called a hunter's grandfather by He's Bi didn't go hunting, but he picked mushrooms here.
Fortunately, there were many mushrooms, and they no longer followed the old hunter, but collected them in the shade of the woods next to the path that the old hunter had to return, and then put them all in the middle of the road.
Landuo panted and crawled over, grabbed a piece of beautiful-looking mushroom and stuffed it into his mouth, then spit it out with a "hard to eat" expression, and stuck out his tongue to rub his tongue. He Shibi hurried to the place where the old hunter had just passed, carefully observed the mushrooms, and then picked the ones that looked more reliable.
The hurried little hands were nowhere near the size of the human ones, and even the dwarf mushrooms looked similar in size, and the chubby Rando sat on the ground with a "hey-hee" sound after carrying two small mushrooms to the middle of the road. He Shibi moved six or seven times, but only moved the same number as the old hunter gathered once.
Lan Duo watched with a big mouth and Heshi Bi ran into the shade of the tree to collect mushrooms again, hesitated for a while and ran over with "hey, hey, hey". When he was tired, he fell to the ground, rested and began again, and repeated it many times, until the old hunter, who had come up the mountain in the afternoon, came down from the mountain. The two little ones immediately hid in the grass.
As I said before, there are many mushrooms, and the old hunter's back basket is full of mushrooms, enough for a man to eat a month's worth of mushrooms every day. He was stunned at first when he saw a small pile of mushrooms in the middle of the road, then looked around. Lan Duo looked in his direction, moved his steps nervously, and then fell out of the grass, the old hunter saw Lan Duo, his eyes did not show the slightest love for small animals, his nose out of breath "snort", and stepped over the mushrooms they had picked for a day.
It was the fruit of a day's labor, worthless. He tilted his head, then looked down at his paws. Lan Duo swallowed and glanced up at He's Bi.
"Let's go." He Shibi turned his head and beckoned Landuo to leave with him. They followed the old hunter back as they had done in the morning, until he returned to the hut. He Shibi quietly approached the old hunter with concern, tilting his head to look at the old hunter.
The old hunter also found it. When he was about to close the door, his gaze did not have any charity that an old man should have, he glared at He Shibi fiercely, and stomped his feet to the ground, "Get out!" Damn brutes! ”
As if he hadn't heard anything, he didn't move, and Lan Duo hid behind a tree in fright, shivering.
The old hunter saw that He Shibi was motionless, and immediately became angry, "You damn brute! Don't get out of here! Get out! While scolding, he raised the muzzle of the black hole and aimed it at He's Bi.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lan Duo immediately jumped out from behind the tree, grabbed He's Bi and was about to run back, but He's Bi still didn't move, tilted his head, and looked at the old hunter intently.
"Bang!" The gun rang off, hitting the ground one centimeter in front of He's Bi's feet, He's Bi was startled, and Lan Duo didn't know where to get the strength, so he dragged Heshibi and ran away. The old hunter's bullets flew through the air, each one hitting them behind, and the old hunter's shout of "You brutes!" came from behind! Isn't it enough to take away my little grandson! "Bullets are fired until there are no more bullets in the gun. The lean arm threw the gun into the house, and the old hunter slammed the door shut.
"What are you doing there?" I glared at He Shibi, who was almost killed, "You don't want to die!" ”
"I just wanted to help him." He Shibi looked down at his paws.
"Why would you want to help that kind of person?!" I couldn't understand, "He almost killed you!" ”
"It's okay." He shook his head, then raised his head and told me, "Grandpa Hunter's marksmanship is very good, he can hit the fruit of the tallest tree in the forest from a long distance, but he has never hit any of the animals here." We call him Grandpa Hunter just because he carries a gun. ”
"What makes you want to help him?" I have trouble understanding the mind of a squirrel.
"He saved my life." It turned its head to look at the old hunter in the house, "I heard that his little grandson had been taken away by the wild beasts of the mountains, and until then he was a very laughing man. ”
"Look." Its short forelimbs pointed in the direction of the old hunter "Now, he's crying." ”
In the humble hut, the lean old hunter bent down and looked at the photograph in his hand, in which was a very cute little boy, in which the little boy was holding his hand tightly and pulling him in the direction of the mountain outside the house, and they were smiling very happily. Tears hit his face in the photo, blurring his smile.
"When he laughs, I'm happy." He Shibi said to me, "Now he's crying...... Why do I feel sad too? ”
I'm speechless.
He Shibi once again set his eyes on the old hunter, his eyes were full of hope, and in the tree hole behind him, Lan Duo silently looked at He Shibi and took a bite of the hazelnut in his hand......
In the middle of the night, there was a violent coughing sound from the old hunter's house......
