Chapter VI
"Hello uncle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Yu Kuiwu said hello to the man who had delivered firewood in the village before.
"Huh, why are you here?" the man asked, surprised.
"I'm in town. Yu Kuiwu answered the question.
"No, how did you get here?" the man was not led by the nose.
"Well, actually, I've been driving in the back of your car, uncle, you just don't know. Yu Kuiwu scratched his head with a smile and said embarrassedly: "Thank you uncle for sending me over, I had a great time." ”
The so-called "reach out and don't hit the smiling person", this sentence is the same when applied to the child, the man just scolded Yu Kuiwu a few words, but still took him back.
"You little things are just mischievous, my horse is riding so fast, how did you get on it?" told your uncle!," the man wondered.
Yu Kuiwu smiled innocently, scratched his head and said, "Uncle, it's actually very simple, just pick it up." ”
"You don't lie to your uncle here, you little ghost, I can also see it, and you are also a naughty mischievous!" The man stretched out his finger and tapped Yu Kuiwu's head a few times, and smiled.
"Uncle, if you stop the car, I'll show you the car immediately!" Yu Kuiwu said with a swear.
"Yo, awesome, awesome!" the man said three times in a row, and jokingly said, "Then I'll put you down now, if you can't pick it up, then I'll leave you here." ”
"Ahem. Yu Kuiwu cleared his throat, sat upright, and stopped talking.
"Hahaha, you're still playing with your uncle, it's the other way around!" the man smiled and touched Yu Kuiwu's head.
The two of them drove on the forest road in a horse-drawn carriage, dragging a lot of things and several bags in the back seat of the car.
"Uncle, what's behind this?" asked Yu Kuiwu after a while.
"Oh, this is something for the villagers, don't move, there are some things that can't be pressed. The man turned his head and said.
"Oh. Yu Kuiwu nodded.
The carriage continued.
"Uncle, can you catch lunch?" Yu Kuiwu lay on the carriage, looking at the sky from here, there were green trees on the left and right, and the blue sky in the middle, the wind was blowing the clouds, drifting through the white clouds,
"Yes, what, hungry?" the man waved his whip and rattled it, and the carriage went a little faster.
"No, I just have nothing to do, I want to go home and do something. Yu Kuiwu put his hands on his head.
"Alas, you are in the midst of blessings and do not know blessings. The man took the reins, looked at the road, and said, "Now you can lie down for a while, and when you grow up, you will have to be as busy as me." ”
"But I'm busy right now. Yu Kuiwu watched the clouds drift south, "I'm going to be busy going home." ”
"You're busy?" the man laughed and said, "What are you? You try to feed the cattle before dawn, you try to cut a cart of firewood to sell in the city, you try to drive a horse-drawn cart, you try your uncle's work in a day, you know how comfortable you are now." ”
The carriage continued to drive, and when Yu Kuiwu heard the sound of the river, he knew that he had arrived in the village, and Yu Kuiwu got out of the car, thanked the man, and walked towards the seven ale taverns in the village.
You can smell the smell of meat from afar, it is potato stewed chicken. The tavern was bustling with activity, with the sound of cheerful music.
"Summer is here, summer is here, hey!
How happy the bugs are to eat and drink!(Ahh
Only the ants are working hard to move home!(Hard work to move home, hard work to move home!)
The cricket stood on the leaf and laughed at the ants:
'There are mountains of grain outside, and there is too much grain to eat!'
Why are you still moving home? (moving home!)
Look how happy I am!
Look how happy I am!(hey!)'
The ants didn't speak,
The ants didn't speak.
Winter is here, winter is here, hey yo!
The cricket came to the ant's house in tattered clothes,
It wants to beg for some food to survive the winter.
Ants laugh at crickets:
'There are mountains of grain outside, and there is too much grain to eat!'
Why are you still looking for us?
I just won't give it to you!(hehe!)
(hey!)'
Hey yo yo,
Just don't give it to you!
I just won't give it to you!"
After the song was over, Yu Kuiwu thought that this group of people would have to rest again, but he didn't expect the pianist to turn around the rhythm and tune the song to the beginning again, and he felt that he couldn't stop at all.
Yu Kuiwu had heard this story, but he didn't expect there to be such a song.
Yu Kuiwu curiously asked the yellow-clothed student who was playing the piano, "Brother, what is the name of this song?"
"Huh?" the smiling yellow-clothed student turned around, played the piano in his hand, and said, "Oh, little brother, this song is called Crickets and Ants!"
"Oh, that's right!" Yu Kuiwu smiled and nodded at the yellow-clothed student.
"Little brother, can you help me get a beer?" The yellow-clothed student said to Yu Kuiwu: "You see how happy everyone is, the music can't stop, my hands can't leave the piano." ”
Yu Kuiwu nodded, and walked through the crowd, in the middle of the tavern, there was a stage made of three tables, and the two boys played one as a cricket and the other as an ant, dancing happily. In the first half of the song, the person playing the cricket straightens up and the person playing the ant pretends to drag the food, while in the second half of the song, the opposite is true, the "cricket" shrinks up and the ant dances.
"Here, brother. Yu Kuiwu brought over a glass of beer, and there was a reed pipe in it as a straw. The yellow-clothed student thanked Yu Kuiwu and took a sip of the reed pipe to drain the beer.
"Ah~Awesome!I seem to be full of strength again!Yo roar!" the yellow-clothed student shouted in satisfaction, and the rhythm of the music became more cheerful.
It's so lively, Yu Kuiwu likes it very much.
When it was time to eat, Shan Yufen shouted, "The meat is ready!" Everyone stopped singing and dancing, and lined up in front of the counter with lunch boxes. "Ladies first!" the boy consciously asked the girl to stand at the front of the line. Shan Yufen brought a big pot of potatoes and roasted chicken to the counter, the chicken and potatoes in the pot were stewed to the full, gave each person a big spoonful of chicken and potatoes, and the lunch box was piled high, and then poured a spoonful of broth on it, and said to those students with a smile: "It's not enough to scoop it again, it's enough!" Some students couldn't help the aroma, Shan Yufen took a spoon to eat while serving him meat, and was ridiculed by the classmates behind, Shan Yufen also grinned and said, "You go back to your seat to eat first, and then come back after eating." Yu Kuiwu was on the side, one for each student. Soon, the whole tavern was filled with the sound of snoring and eating.
Seeing that these students had eaten, Shan Yufen wiped her sweat with the back of her hand with relief and said, "Kuiwu, you should go and eat too, I have worked hard for you." ”
"I'm not hungry, I can wait a little longer. Yu Kuiwu said sensibly. Shan Yufen rubbed his head and said, "You are growing your body, you can't do it without eating." Then he put a bowl of chicken and potatoes on a table and let Yu Kuiwu eat first.
"Where's my sister?" asked Yu Kuiwu.
"She's cooking butter in the back kitchen, don't worry, we'll eat it later." Shan Yufen smeared butter on a slice of bread and placed it in Yu Kuiwu's bowl.
Yu Kuiwu was indeed hungry, but he didn't shirk it, picked up the spoon, and took a bite of chicken and a bite of potatoes. The aroma of the broth is stewed into the potatoes, and it is simply enjoyable to eat; the chicken is stewed softly, and when you put the chicken thigh in your mouth and suck it, the meat on it falls off, and Yu Kuiwu spits out a chicken bone with satisfaction, and the tenderness of the chicken skin flows between the teeth, which is delicious!
Yu Kuiwu quickly finished eating, and wanted to eat a little more, so Shan Yufen served him another bowl. When everyone had finished eating, Shan Yufen and Zihua began to eat.
This time, everyone was humming in their seats with their stomachs up, and the girls were fine, but they hiccuped with their hands over their mouths, and they didn't want to be like those stinky boys......
The previous yellow-clothed student played the piano again, this time with a melodious song, which was just right for this group of people lying on the table after eating and drinking, maybe the lyrics were made up.
"Oh ~ potatoes
Your taste is so good~
Oh ~ potatoes
You go well with any dish~
Served with beef~
It's potato roast beef~
Served with chicken~
It's potato stewed chicken~
Oh~"
Yu Kuiwu yawned, lay on the table and fell asleep, and when he closed his eyes, he saw Shan Yufen and Zihua eating with a bowl, it turned out that there was also rice here.
Yu Kuiwu, who woke up, saw a round of the sun hanging obliquely in the sky, he took a look, he was upstairs, it is estimated that Shan Yufen picked him up, the time on the alarm clock pointed to three o'clock in the afternoon, and he slept for two or three hours.
Yu Kuiwu went downstairs, couldn't find Shan Yufen and Zihua, shouted, but didn't find anyone, the tavern was clean, and the stone bricks on the ground were still very wet, this was just sprinkled water.
Yu Kuiwu suddenly remembered that there were still a lot of water spirit fruits on the wolf cart, walked to the carriage shed behind, took out a basket of water spirit fruits from the box of the wolf cart, tasted one, it was not bad, it was just a little hot, it was estimated that the box was too stuffy. Yu Kuiwu walked to a small shed next to the stable, where was the pressurized water well, pressed the faucet up and down a few times, the water came out, turning the iron basket into a basin, Yu Kuiwu washed the water spirit fruit in the basin, and then lowered the temperature of the iron basin a little, so that the water spirit fruit inside was cool.
"Are you awake?" was the voice of the purple flower, and Yu Kuiwu looked back. Zihua brushed the hair from her ears, sighed, picked up a water spirit fruit and asked curiously, "What is this, grapes?"
"I don't know, the brother who plays the piano gave it to me. "Yu Kuiwu is lying.
"Didn't you fall asleep? Zihua suddenly became stern, "You can't steal other people's things." ”
"Indeed, he gave it to me, and he said that he had good things for us, and told me to show them to you when they were gone. Yu Kuiwu pointed to the wolf cart, "Look, it's taken out of there, it's a little hot after a long time, I'll take the well water and ice it." ”
"Oh, that's right, that's good. Zihua clapped her hands and breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she didn't steal it.
"What is this?" asked Purple Flower towards Yu Kuiwu.
"I don't know, but it's like grapes, I just tasted one, and when I bite into the skin, something like juice comes out, and it's delicious. Yu Kuiwu said to Zihua.
"Oh, I'll taste it. Zihua lifted the hem of her skirt, squatted down, and fished out a water spirit fruit from the basin.
"Wow, the water is so cold. Zihua took out a water spirit fruit and shook the water in her hand. The speaker has no intention of listening, and when Yu Kuiwu heard it, he quickly changed the temperature of the iron basin back, and he didn't want anyone to know his superpowers.
"Hmm!" the expression on Zihua's face was wonderful, first curious, then surprised, and finally enjoyable.
"Wow, it's so delicious!" Zihua grabbed Yu Kuiwu's shoulder and shook it excitedly, "You know what, you know, what's delicious!
Yu Kuiwu was caught by the purple flower and dangled around, and hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, wait a minute! Don't shake, I know!"
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, brother. Zihua rubbed Yu Kuiwu's head, took out a few more water spirit fruits from the basin, and said, "I'll take a little for my mother to eat now, and wait for my sister to bring a basket to load, you wait a minute." Then Zihua happily ran to the back kitchen, where there was a lot of butter to cook, and she and her mother had been busy all afternoon, and these fruits were just enough to comfort her.
Yu Kuiwu shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and continued to wash the water spirit fruit, anyway, he couldn't eat so much, and he was happy to share, but Shan Yufen's mother and daughter were still busy in the back kitchen, which made Yu Kuiwu a little regretful, he wanted to sit at the table with them and enjoy these delicacies.
When you come to this world by yourself, what you want most is a place where you can belong, and if you don't have it, then make it yourself.
Zihua ran out of the back kitchen, carrying a bamboo basket in her hand, and helped Yu Kuiwu put the washed water spirit fruit into the basket.
"Mom also said it was delicious, but Mom said it wasn't like ordinary fruit, so let's eat it first. Purple Flower placed the basket next to the iron basin.
"Sister, are you and your aunt done?" asked Yu Kuiwu as he put the water spirit fruit in the basket.
"Now that we're done, just wait for the butter to solidify. Purple Flower asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"No," Yu Kuiwu shook his head, "It's just that now that these fruits are frozen, if you don't eat them quickly, they will be frozen for a while." ”
"Well, yes, ⊙v⊙, then I'll go and ask my mother to come and eat together, and you can put the fruit in the tavern." Zihua got up and went to the back kitchen, Yu Kuiwu poured the remaining water spirit fruit into the basket, put the iron basin next to the well, and carried a basket of water spirit fruit into the tavern through the back door.
The sun shining in from the west shone in from outside the door, Yu Kuiwu sat on the bench, looking at the sunlight on the ground, the tavern floor tiles had just been sprinkled with water so it was very cool, Yu Kuiwu rode the bench and shook it, this feeling seemed familiar.
Someone walked in from the back door, it was Zihua and Shan Yufen, they hung the aprons in their hands on the wall of the back door, Yu Kuiwu waved his hand and said, "Sister, aunt, the fruit is ready." ”
"Young master, eat first, don't wait for us. Shan Yufen didn't go to eat, but brought out a glass of milk for Yu Kuiwu to drink. "The sweets just now are indeed delicious, but the young master is still growing up. "Shan Yufen still calls him the young master when there is no one.
Yu Kuiwu shook his head and said to Shan Yufen: "Don't call me young master, Aunt Shan, from now on, we will spend many years together until I grow up, so we are no different from a family, please don't be formal." I thought I was a wandering duckweed, but you made me feel at home. ”
Shan Yufen shook her head stubbornly and said: "Young master, this matter is not chaotic, I can't repay the master's kindness to me, if I can't even distinguish between respect and inferiority, then I am a person without conscience." After speaking, he also asked Zihua to stand up and admonished: "Zihua, my mother told you that the young master is the benefactor of my family, and you can treat him as a younger brother in front of others, but you have to remember that he is still your young master, and we can't forget the kindness of others." ”
This is a waste of work, Yu Kuiwu covered his head and sighed.
"Young Master. Under Shan Yufen's teaching, Zihua bowed to Yu Kuiwu, "I shouldn't treat you as a younger brother, I hope the young master will forgive me." ”
"No, no, no, you don't have to, sister, I still treat you as a sister. Auntie, you persuade her. Yu Kuiwu hurriedly got up from his seat and asked Zihua not to salute him.
Shan Yufen said respectfully: "Then let's be like this, young master, we call you 'young master' when no one is around, this is our own request." ”
"I refuse your request. Yu Kuiwu frowned and waved his hand, "Don't be like this, I just want to treat you as an aunt and Zihua as a sister, how good we are, why do you want to behave properly?"
"The young master is kind-hearted, and we can't forget our duty. Shan Yufen said.
"Okay then," Yu Kuiwu shook his head, it seemed that it would take a long time for them to accept him, "Auntie and sister should come and eat these fruits, this is my request, you don't have to be formal, okay?"
"Thank you, young master. Only then did Shan Yufen sit down. Zihua looked at Yu Kuiwu, a little disappointed in her eyes, it seemed that she didn't have a younger brother.
The three of them were eating the water spirit fruit, and suddenly the basket trembled, shaking out a few fruits, and then a fist-sized water spirit fruit suddenly jumped out of the basket!
Yu Kuiwu had the impression that this green water spirit seemed to be the fruit on the head of the particularly "huge" green water spirit in the forest.
Yu Kuiwu suddenly remembered that the book said that the reproduction method of the green water spirit was to wait for the fruit on the head to ripen, and the water spirit fruit would become a new green water spirit, and the fruit on the head of the "huge" green water spirit might be about to ripen......
Two eyes appeared on the water spirit fruit, and then a mouth, and the green water spirit shook the dew on his body, and jumped towards the nearest purple flower.
Green Water Spirit: "Wave chirp!"
A big man smoking suddenly appeared in Yu Kuiwu's heart, and the man was trying to find a way to make this lie clear, and Yu Kuiwu's mind was full of smoke.
Isn't the voice of the green water spirit "Bo Ji"?
Well, it doesn't matter! The most important thing is how to explain where the fruit monster came from? Why did such a monster appear? Sure enough, you can only lie to strangers, and it is really painful to lie to acquaintances, no, it's best not to lie to anyone, no, no, no, none of these things matter, the most important thing now is how to explain, damn it, use your brains! Yu Kuiwu!
The big man in his mind finally came up with a way when he was about to finish his cigarette, that's right, a flawless lie! Yu Kuiwu was about to explain, when Zihua suddenly held the green water spirit in one hand.
"It's so cute!" Zihua was very happy to pick up the green water spirit and rub it on her face.
"Tweet Tweet!"
