Chapter 12: The Battle of the Chickens

Seeing that she was curious, the monk also spoke patiently, and finally suddenly asked, "Are you literate?" ”

Originally, judging by her clothes, the children of poor families were illiterate.

But after a few words, seeing that although this little girl was only three or four years old, and some of the questions were very naΓ―ve, they were very organized, so she asked casually.

Meow Meow nodded, raised her little chin proudly, and replied crisply, "Recognize!" My third brother taught me! ”

The monk didn't ask much, but he felt that this little girl was very cute, and said, "You wait." ”

Then he turned and went back to the house, and soon came out again, and took a book in his hand, and handed it to her.

"This is a book about silkworm farming, if you are interested, you can read it, and you should be literate."

Meow Meow took the book excitedly, opened it at random and took a look, and found that the full scent of sandalwood came to her nose.

Looking at the handwriting again, the pen is strong, like flowing water, I know that this is a manuscript, and I was immediately grateful, and the baby was put into my arms, my hands were folded, and I bowed deeply, "Miao Meow, thank you for the gift." ”

"Amitabha, if you like it, it's fine." The monks were also delighted.

Originally, Meow Meow still wanted to ask the master for a few silkworm babies to go home and try to raise them, but they all received such precious things from others, and the rest were difficult to speak.

But the monk seemed to know what she was thinking, so he took a small basket next to it, spread a thick layer of mulberry leaves, selected dozens of plump larvae and put them in, and finally covered a layer of mulberry leaves, and handed it to her, "Since you like it, then take it back, raise it, maybe it can help your family solve the problem of food and clothing." ”

Meow meow turned out a small basket, put it at his feet, folded his hands seriously, followed the appearance of a monk, and recited it devoutly, "Amitabha, thank you for the gift from the master, I am grateful!" ”

These words came from the mouth of a three-year-old girl, and it seemed to be still mixed with honey and wrapped in the smell of milk.

The monk returned the salute and said, "Because of hard work, the result will follow!" Be careful not to think of the past, and do not wish for the future, the past is gone, and the future is not yet here. Little benefactor, I wish you all the best! ”

Meow Meow's heart suddenly tightened, and when she looked at the master again, she saw that he had turned around and entered the meditation room.

She had no choice but to bow to his back again, and then went back with the small basket.

Miao Le was in a hurry, and when she saw her coming out, she hurriedly greeted her, "Where have you been?" It scared the hell out of me for so long! ”

Meow Meow lifted the basket and said excitedly, "I just met a master who gave me a lot of silkworm babies. ”

Miao Le gave her a strange look, and then went to look at the basket of fleshy white worms, and couldn't help but shiver, rubbing his arms, not understanding why such a lovely sister likes so, uh, disgusting things.

I was afraid that I would hurt my sister by saying it, so I had to say it slowly, "That, meow, if you are hungry, tell the fourth brother, and the fourth brother will go up the tree to dig out the eggs for you." This, this thing it can't eat! ”

Meow Meow glared at him, carefully covered the silkworm baby tightly with mulberry leaves, and said crisply, "Who said I was going to eat it?" I'm going to keep it! ”

"Huh?" Mimere was surprised. However, in his heart, his sister can do whatever she wants!

Then, he took the basket and couldn't help but shake his body, "If you want to raise it, the fourth brother will hold it for you!" Let's go, it's time for us to go home! ”

Meow Meow felt that today's harvest was also good, so she jumped up and down the mountain after the fourth brother.

The two of them walked to the place where the wild boar was killed the day before yesterday.

Miao Le stopped and looked around.

Meow Meow also looked around, and asked softly, "Fourth brother, what are you looking at?" ”

"I'm looking to see if there's any more wild boars that have been killed!" ”

Meow Meow's face was full of black lines, "Fourth brother! Where did you get so many ......?"

Before she finished speaking, a pheasant fell in front of her, startling her.

The brother and sister looked at each other.

It was Miao Le who reacted first, grabbed the pheasant, and shouted excitedly, "Meow, look!" The Buddha must have heard our thanks just now, so he sent another pheasant over! ”

Meow Meow stretched out her left hand to look at the slightly hot palm, think about it, the last time I found a hare and a wild boar, the palm of my left hand seemed to be the same, but I was too excited at the time and ignored it.

Now thinking back to that night's dream, Meow Meow realizes that maybe she really has some kind of magical power.

She tried to stretch out her left hand and wave it to see if there were any surprises, followed by a scold, "Stop! ”

Meow Meow followed the sound and saw a figure appear on the hillside behind, looking at the height, it should be about the same as the eldest brother Miao Fu.

"You can't summon a big living person out this time, right?" Meow Meow Frightened!

Miao Le looked at the young man who came over vigilantly, but he didn't forget to hide the pheasant behind him.

Although the young man who came was very tall, he looked like he was only seven or eight years old, and he was dressed in the kind of monk's robe worn by the little novice in the temple, neat and clean.

His thick hair was tied up only by a black and shiny wooden hairpin. He was also carrying a fine bow and arrow in his hand, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his face was unruly.

The ones on his feet are also the kind of monk shoes that only monks wear.

Meow Meow looked curiously at this teenager who looked so discordant all over his body.

The boy stopped on the hillside ten paces away from them, crossed his arms around his chest, and raised his chin, "Take it out!" ”

"What?!" Miaole pretended to be stupid.

Usually in the village, he is also something that ordinary children dare not provoke.

Everyone knows that the four sons of the Miao Dahai family are the most united, and everyone in the family protects their shortcomings, so although Meow Meow can't speak, everyone is just talking behind their backs, who dares to call a little fool in person, the fourth child of the Miao family went up with a stick.

And Qi Jingchen, who is also a well-known little overlord in Beijing, saw Miao Le's hard mouth, and sneered, "I advise you to hand it over happily, don't let me do it myself!" ”

Miao Le measured his height visually, although he was more than a head shorter, it could be seen that the other party looked very rude, and he also mixed up, took out the pheasant from behind him, and shook it in the air, his face was full of provocation, "You said you would hand it over?" I'm not happy yet, sir! You have the ability to come! ”

After speaking, he dragged Meow Meow, who was still in a daze, and started running.

Meow Meow was still wondering in her heart whether this was a little monk or the son of which family, and she was almost made by the sudden action of the fourth brother.

Miao Le relied on his thin body and shuttled flexibly through the forest.

And Qi Jingchen, who has practiced martial arts since he was a child, thinks that he is invincible to fight all over the young people in Beijing, running on the flat ground, and galloping on horses, but only this drill bush is really ...... It's hard to put into words.

After a while, he was left behind.

In a fit of rage, he pulled out an arrow from behind his back and shouted, "If you run again, I'll shoot an arrow!" ”

Meow Meow couldn't run at this time, panting, and grabbed the fourth brother who was still running, "Fourth brother, I, I can't run......"
