Chapter 23: Returning Home
The night gradually began to swallow the whole world......
After a day and a night of inhuman experience, Chen Chen, Little Fat Man, and Thin Monkey all had a feeling of the aftermath in their hearts.
Especially the little fat man and the thin monkey, after eating more than 20 pieces of bear meat, holding a round belly, and enjoying the sun for an hour or two, their faces were full of expressions of satisfaction and enjoyment.
After seeing the small village in the distance, the mood was even better when the three people who had left what seemed to be decades old.
"Skinny monkey, how do I feel that I haven't eaten enough?" said the little fat man with a bitter face, touching his stomach.
"You've eaten at least fifteen pieces, and you're not full?" said the thin monkey in surprise.
"Really, look at my stomach, I'm hungry again. The little fat man pointed to his round belly.
"Get out!" the thin monkey glanced at the little fat man rather speechlessly.
"Hey, wait, I'm really not full, give me your piece of bear meat. ”
"Get out of here!"
"Why are you so cruel to me!"
"Get out of the way!"
......
However, as he got closer and closer to the small village, Chen Chen noticed that at this point in time, it was supposed to be the time when every household was raising the smoke to cook, but there was no smoke at all.
As soon as the three of them entered the village, they saw a group of people in front of them, and there was a lot of discussion.
Next to it, there were several strong men with weapons in their hands, and these strong men were none other than the hunting team members of the village.
When Chen Chen saw this scene, he was faintly surprised, and secretly wondered if the people in the village were going to come out to find them.
After all, the three of them hadn't been back for almost a day and a night, and thinking of this, Chen Chen quickened his pace.
Getting closer, a burst of crying came over, and as soon as Chen Chen heard it, he heard that the crying was made by Aunt Liu, the mother of the little fat man, and Aunt Zhang, the mother of the thin monkey.
At this time, the thin monkey and the little fat man also heard the crying and hurriedly ran over.
"Chen Chen, they're back!"
Obviously, the people in the village also discovered Chen Chen and the others, and the crowd began to stir.
"Where did you go, why are you only back now?"
"I need to ask? I must have gone to play. ”
"It's really naughty!"
"Chen Feng too, no matter how good Chen Chen is, every time he runs around with the other two little rabbit cubs!"
"Hey, he's getting older, and his body is getting weaker and weaker, I see it......"
"Hey......"
......
Under the talk of the people, the little fat man and the thin monkey went to their mother.
At this time, a strong man with a beard on his face walked up to Chen Chen and roared:
"You still know how to come back!"
"I'm really sorry to worry you, we met the Timberwolves yesterday afternoon and had to swim across the river, and then we met the Giant Bear, so we're only coming back now. Chen Chen explained.
The bearded man's bronze bell-like eyes widened, and he obviously didn't believe what Chen Chen said.
Because, if you want to talk about who knows the pit trio best in the village, except for Chen Feng, it should be him, the hunting captain.
Usually naughty and mischievous, Captain Hu has not seen them do it uncommonly.
However, this time, they dared not come back for a day and a night, which made the people in the village anxious, and almost the entire hunting team was about to go out to look for them.
The most hateful thing is that this kid in front of him dares to lie that he has encountered a timberwolf and a giant bear!
So, the bearded man snorted coldly: "Are you saying that within this radius of dozens of miles, you have encountered a jungle wolf that has not been seen for decades, and even a giant bear?"
Chen Chen pursed his lips, he knew that Uncle Hu would not believe him, but except for the two parties, the little fat man and the thin monkey, only Hou Ling could testify, but Hou Ling was not here at the moment.
Sighing silently in his heart, Chen Chen said a little helplessly: "Why don't Uncle Hu go with me to see the scene?"
Captain Hu's eyes widened: "Do you think I have that time to mess around with you?"
After speaking, Captain Hu turned around and waved his big hand: "Go and get Wang Er and them back." ”
Immediately, several people took their weapons and walked out of the village.
Chen Chen found out that the father of the little fat man and the father of the thin monkey were not in the village.
"Second Uncle Wang, where have they gone?" Chen Chen asked softly.
"Where else can I go, I'm going out to find you!" Captain Hu glared at Chen Chen.
After speaking, Captain Hu waved his hand to everyone again: "Okay, since they are all back, they will all disperse, let's go home and cook." ”
"Hey, it's good to come back, if you don't come back, I guess the whole village will have to go to them. ”
"yes, the night is getting longer, and it's really troublesome to go out at night to find someone. ”
"These three people are really messing around!"
"Forget it, they're all kids, don't blame them. ”
......
In the midst of the discussion, the crowd gradually dispersed, and the little fat man and the thin monkey also walked back to the house under the questions of their respective mothers.
"Uncle Hu!" Chen Chen called out to Captain Hu after glancing at the scattered crowd.
Captain Hu stopped and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
Chen Chen walked over, thought for a while, and said slowly: "I think the village should still strengthen its vigilance, after all, there are jungle wolves, you know, jungle wolves never act alone." ”
Captain Hu, who was full of beard, narrowed his eyes: "Yo, did you really meet a jungle wolf?"
Chen Chen nodded heavily, and then pointed to his broken clothes: "Otherwise, how could I look like this?"
"I've never met a timberwolf when I've grown up. Captain Hu looked at Chen Chen carefully.
"We really met a timberwolf!" Chen Chen said with some annoyance.
Captain Hu stared at Chen Chen, as if judging whether Chen Chen was telling a lie, and Chen Chen also looked at him without giving in.
After a long time, Captain Hu nodded, said nothing, and turned to leave.
Looking at Captain Hu's back, Chen Chen sighed silently in his heart.
Why doesn't he believe in himself? Is he so untrustworthy in his heart?
Of course, if there are no wolves, then there is no problem at all, but in case the wolves come, the village is not prepared at all, and there will definitely be heavy casualties.
What to do?
Chen Chen thought as he walked......
Unconsciously, Chen Chen walked to the front of his yard, gently pushed open the door, and saw Chen Feng contemplating with a book in front of the lamp.
"Ah Gong. Chen Chen shouted softly.
Chen Feng nodded: "Hmm." ”
After waiting for a while, the expected blame and punishment did not come, and Chen Chen glanced at Chen Feng with some surprise.
Because, in the past, if he hadn't gone out to collect medicine and didn't return at night, Chen Feng would have fired first, and then punished Chen Chen.
Although Chen Feng didn't ask, Chen Chen still decided to explain: "Grandpa, yesterday I met a jungle wolf and a giant bear with the little fat man, and then Uncle Hou saved us. ”
"Well, there's no need to explain anything. Chen Feng slowly put down the book, and then said softly: "When you grow up, do what you have to do." ”
After speaking, Chen Feng picked up the book he had just put down again and began to ponder......
