Chapter 3 Competition
The farmhouse is made of bamboo, not too big or small, with one living room and two bedrooms, with a kitchen on the west side of the house, and a walkway leading to it.
The front of the farmhouse was covered with green, green and beautiful, and there was a fence around it. Not all of these vegetables are left at home to eat, and some are to be transported to the market to be sold, which is one of the sources of livelihood for Aunt Shen's family.
"Aunt Shen, your vegetables grow well, and they will definitely be sold at a good price. Yuan Ming ran to the vegetables, looked at them with wide eyes, and grinned.
"Okay, Xiao Ming, when will you learn to speak polite words" Aunt Shen scolded with a smile: "Come in, don't let Xue'er wait in a hurry." ”
Yuan Ming smiled at Aunt Shen, and then walked towards the house. However, Yuan Ming was stunned when he walked in, this Xiaoxue would be in a hurry, lying on the table and falling asleep. Aunt Shen, who walked in later, also saw Xiaoxue sleeping with her head down, she looked at Yuan Ming embarrassedly, and then twisted Xue'er's pink ears in annoyance, and said in a warning tone: "Xue'er, if you are still like this next time, impatient and rude, I won't let you play with your brother Yuan Ming!"
"Brother Yuan Ming......" Shen Xue's red and tender little mouth muttered unconsciously, and suddenly woke up, and her eyes, which were originally slightly open, suddenly widened. She raised her head a little slowly, and when she glanced at Yuan Ming, her pure black eyes suddenly showed a gleam of joy. But in an instant, she pursed her red and tender little mouth and snorted heavily, as if she was a little dissatisfied with Yuan Ming's tardiness.
Yuan Ming saw her like this, and said with a smile: "It seems that Xiaoxue doesn't welcome me today, Aunt Shen, I think I'll go home to eat." As soon as Shen Xue heard this, she immediately got up from her seat, ran to Yuan Ming, pulled his arm and said, "Welcome, welcome, how could Xiaoxue not welcome Brother Yuan Ming, come and sit, the dishes made by my mother today are delicious." ”
After speaking, Shen Xue dragged Yuan Ming to the table, sat him down with both hands, and then pulled Aunt Shen with a smile on her face, and said, "Mother, come and eat, otherwise the food will be cold." ”
Hearing Shen Xue's words, Yuan Ming lowered his head reproachfully, he knew that it was he who had cultivated for half an extra hour, and Aunt Shen and Shen Xue had almost cold the food in order to wait for him to eat together.
"Good, good. Mother, eat it too!" Aunt Shen walked to the table and sat down, and said with a smile. She didn't notice anything unusual about Yuan Ming.
The three of them didn't say much, and just started eating. Aunt Shen glanced at Shen Xue and saw Shen Xue gobbling up food, frowned, and scolded: "Xue'er, how does my mother usually teach you!
Hearing her mother's scolding words, Shen Xue chewed the rice in her mouth in two bites and whispered, "Mother, I know." Then he slowly put the rice into his mouth, but Shen Xue always felt that it was awkward to eat like this.
Yuan Ming couldn't help laughing when he saw Shen Xue's actions that seemed to be pretending, and the original feeling of self-blame was also swept away. He turned to Aunt Shen and said, "Aunt Shen, Xiaoxue is hungry because of my tardiness, let her let go and eat." ”
"Uh-huh. Shen Xue hurriedly nodded and looked at Aunt Shen pitifully. Aunt Shen shook her head helplessly and said with a smile: "You two, okay, Xue'er, you can eat as much as you like this time, but remember this is only this time." ”
"Uh-huh. Shen Xue's mouth was quickly filled with food, as if she was a lion who hadn't eaten for a few days. Of course, Shen Xue is not a lion.
In this way, the three of them silently ate the food on the table, and a heart-warming family affection quietly permeated, blended into the meal, and melted into their hearts. Yuan Ming looked at the rice bowl full of vegetables, and his eyes couldn't help but be clouded with a layer of mist......
Not long after, the three of them finished breakfast. Yuan Ming was about to go back to practice the Summoning Technique, but Shen Xue pulled him and ran out.
"What's wrong, Xiaoxue?" Yuan Ming asked when he saw that Shen Xue seemed to be in trouble. "Brother Yuan Ming, you won't forget, today is the day for all of us to compete every month!" Shen Xue said hurriedly.
"Competition?" Yuan Ming muttered. It's not good, how did I forget this stubble, I must be late today, and that Li Gufeng is going to scold me again. Alas!
"Brother Yuan Ming, let's run, that hateful Li Gufeng is definitely going to scold us. Shen Xue said. Yuan Ming nodded, and then ran with Shen Xue.
The two of them ran along the path between the village to the north, and after running for a while, gradually the weeds on the ground became more abundant, and the ground became more rugged, and there were one or two trees growing sparsely and sparsely, and they had come to the outside of the village.
The two ran another dozen meters north, then turned left. There were no roads on the ground, but they could still easily discern the directions, which showed that they had been here many times, so they were so familiar with the road.
After Yuan Ming and Shen Xue turned left, they kept running towards the west, about a hundred meters, and there was a road faintly appearing on the road where there was no road.
It's easy to get lost in the area before the roadway appears, because the scene from the inside is the same, and it's hard to discern the direction. Some people think that they can come out by looking at the peaks of Huoyao Mountain, but those who have experienced it know that people can't see anything at all, except for trees and weeds.
One of Yuan Ming's friends, Shen Yifeng, had fallen into it and it took him a week to get out of it, but he also unexpectedly found a treasure land, which was Yuan Ming's competition venue.
The two of them kept running along this path, and the deeper they ran, the thicker and denser the originally slender and sparse trees became. Later, the trees were next to each other, and the dense foliage blocked the sunlight, making the whole forest dim.
"It's finally here. Yuan Ming gasped heavily, he turned to Shen Xue and asked, "Xiaoxue, are you tired?" Shen Xue swallowed dryly, and smiled weakly with a pale face: "Not tired." Ahem, ahem. As soon as Shen Xue finished speaking, she couldn't help coughing twice.
"Xiaoxue, it doesn't matter to you, do you want us to rest first?" Yuan Ming asked with concern as he slightly supported Shen Xue. "It's okay, let's go in first. Yuan Ming hesitated, but nodded.
In front of them is a row of stout trees, with countless vines entwined on the trees, especially the one in front of Yuan Ming, the roots are entwined, forming a natural green curtain, and their competition venue is also behind this curtain, a circular field without trees and weeds, which is completely different from the outside world, which makes people feel surprised and puzzled!
