Chapter 42: The Crow Feeds Back
Aunt Zhang took the sesame candy and handed it to Bailu first, then to Li Yuan, and finally to Chihu.
didn't refuse, nor did they dislike it, the three little ones all looked like they liked it very much, and ate it in small bites.
Laughing happily, her eyes narrowed with laughter, and tears flowed out of the corners of Aunt Zhang's eyes.
In his last days, he accompanied and visited himself not the three children who had been raised with hard work, but three animals.
Aunt Zhang didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a while.
Raising her hand and wiping the corners of her eyes, Aunt Zhang didn't want the three little guys to find out.
"Eat slowly, Auntie, there is still this."
Bailu chewed sesame candy and nodded towards Aunt Zhang.
Looking at Bailu, the little guy who accompanies her the most, Aunt Zhang raised her hand again and stroked it gently.
"Little white! Don't go down the mountain in the future, there are bad people down the mountain, and the mountains and forests are your home. β
Bailu refused and shook his head.
"Be obedient, the eldest lady can go up the mountain to see you in the future."
Hearing this, the naΓ―ve Bailu believed it and nodded again.
Without further words, Aunt Zhang picked up another piece of sesame candy and handed it to Bailu, watching it eat it, and smiling happily.
After standing for a while and feeling tired, Aunt Zhang entered the house, took out a bamboo chair, put it next to Bailu, and slowly sat down.
After eating the sesame candy, Bailu stayed next to the chair, knelt down, and lay on the ground.
The courtyard was very quiet and peaceful, Aunt Zhang sat on a chair, holding a wooden stick in both hands, and looked at the three little ones with a smile.
The sun gradually rises to the middle of the day, and the time comes to noon.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and Li Yuan, who heard the movement, gave the red fox beside him a look.
Aunt Zhang, who was sitting in the yard, knew her child's virtue, and hurriedly said to Bailu: "Xiaobai, take your friends away!" β
When Aunt Zhang spoke, the red fox had already used illusion to cover the figures of the three.
Bailu, who was lying on the ground, stood up, shook his head at Aunt Zhang, and signaled that he would not leave.
Seeing this, Aunt Zhang didn't say much, just clenched the wooden stick tightly with both hands.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Aunt Zhang's second son appeared at the door.
In his hand, he held an earthen bowl full of notches, which contained porridge and some leftovers on top, which were initially mixed together.
The second son seemed to be in a bad mood, pushed the wooden door open very hard, and walked in quickly.
Aunt Zhang looked at her son who came in, a little nervous, worried that he would do something bad to Bailu and them.
But to Aunt Zhang's surprise, the son who walked in didn't seem to be able to see Bailu and his friends, and walked straight in front of him.
Looking at his mother with an indifferent expression, and without speaking, the second son went into the house and placed the earthen bowl containing the food on the wooden table.
Walking out of the house, the second son looked coldly at his mother.
"It's a day's meal, don't eat it all at once."
After speaking, the second son didn't wait for Aunt Zhang to have anything to say, and left directly.
Li Yuan stood in place, looking at the direction where Aunt Zhang's son left, with anger in his eyes.
Red Fox's reaction was even worse, she was already on her feet, as if she was going to trouble that bastard.
Li Yuan hurriedly stepped forward, raised his paws, and hugged the red fox.
The body stiffened instantly, and the red fox's head was directly empty, unable to think.
After seven or eight seconds, the red fox reacted, his body was hot, the tips of his ears were red, and he quickly broke away from Li Yuan's block.
Glaring angrily, the red fox cared about Aunt Zhang on the side, and did not speak.
Aunt Zhang noticed Li Yuan and Chihu's actions, and also saw Bailu's anger.
Aunt Zhang, who had already looked away, laughed, and said loudly: "Xiaobai, don't be angry. I am his mother, he is my son, he is like this now, I didn't teach him well, I don't care about him. β
Bailu lowered his head and rubbed lightly, comforting Aunt Zhang.
Touching the white deer again, Aunt Zhang stood up slowly with a wooden stick.
"Xiaobai, auntie, please don't go to them. The eldest lady doesn't blame them, as long as they live well, I will be content. β
After listening to Aunt Zhang's words, Bailu didn't want to agree, she stood silently in place, motionless, and protested silently.
"Xiaobai, listen to the words of the eldest mother, don't ruin your cultivation for them."
Looking at Aunt Zhang, facing the kind and pleading gaze, Bailu nodded lightly.
I stayed with Aunt Zhang for a while, and when the old man finished lunch, the three monsters took the initiative to say goodbye and walked out of the yard.
seemed to have a hunch that this was the last time she would see Bailu, and Aunt Zhang followed her all the way out of the yard, standing outside the wooden door and watching Bailu leave for a long time.
As when they came, relying on illusion to cover up, the three youkai swaggered through the village.
Walk to the west exit of the village, and from there, the path up the hill will be connected.
Standing at the intersection of the village, Li Yuan stopped.
There was a lone tree standing tall in front of the intersection.
"Wow... Wow! Yikes! Yikes..."
Three crows flew above the tree, making a rough and hoarse call.
Li Yuan, who had excellent eyesight, noticed that there was a nest of birds in the big tree.
The crows flying in the air were very orderly, and they took turns to land on the edge of the nest, as if feeding.
Li Yuan stopped the white deer and the red fox in front of him, and under the puzzled gaze of the two, he walked in the direction of the big tree.
As the distance approached, Li Yuan could see the scenery on the trees thoroughly.
An old crow lay in the nest, and she was too old and frail to fly, so she could only stay in the nest.
The three crows that had just flown in the air were supposed to be the children raised by the crows, and they took turns walking to the edge of the nest, opening their mouths, and feeding the crows.
Following Li Yuan, the white deer and the red fox who came over also saw this scene.
"The lamb kneels and the crow feeds!" Li Yuan looked at the tree and said with a sigh.
Bailu and Red Fox can both understand the meaning of Li Yuan's words.
"If you want me to say, you should go and arrest those three bastards and teach them a good lesson!" The red fox, who had the most quick temper, couldn't help but say angrily.
"Sister, Aunt Zhang, she doesn't want to do this." Bailu persuaded on the side.
Li Yuan withdrew his gaze and looked at the angry red fox.
Taking the initiative to walk to the red fox's side, Li Yuan said comfortingly: "Although the son is not filial, the mother still loves the son, this is nature, let's not let Aunt Zhang feel uncomfortable when she leaves last." β
Hearing Li Yuan's words, the red fox didn't speak, just snorted coldly and turned his head to look in other directions.
Stretching out his paws and patting the red fox, Li Yuan continued: "Yueyue, don't be angry, it's not early, let's go back!" β
Shaking his body, the red fox slightly pulled away from the position of himself and Li Yuan, and said loudly: "You bastard, you are rude to me again!" β
"I'm comforting you!" Li Yuan explained.
The red fox was happy in his heart, but he pretended to be disdainful on the surface, and said arrogantly: "I don't need you to comfort me!" β
After speaking, the red fox looked at Bailu again and continued: "Xiaobai, let's go!" β
