Chapter 21: Discovery
Looking at the white snowflakes in front of him, fluttering like dancing elves, rendering the earth into a silver-white world, but the beautiful scenery in front of him could not make Wang Xiaohu's heart feel the happiness of seeing snow in his previous life, because in this era, under the beautiful appearance of snowflakes, it represents the coldness of winter, like venting the anger of winter to the earth.
"Next, I'm going to hurry up and continue to deliver food, even if it's discovered, it's nothing, it's a big deal to be beaten! With ten times his physique, even if he slashes, he may not be hurt, right? Wang Xiaohu thought of his parents with some helplessness and headache in his heart, but his eyes were very firm and ran in the direction of home, after all, it was starting to get cold, and it might be too late if it was late.
A few days later, in the morning, I saw a red sun slowly emerging from the edge of the eastern sky, reflecting the snow-white earth a little crystalline, and the sunlight dispelled the boredom in people's hearts.
"Mother, you see that the snow has finally stopped, and you can go to a snowball fight!" Wang Xiaohu said happily to his mother, who was about to start cooking, that Wang Xiaohu was really happy these days, because he finally quietly gave half of the grain in the cellar to the people in the same village.
"Xiaohu, the snow is actually not very cold, the cold is a few days after the snow!" At this time, Wang Daniu walked into the courtyard with a broom in his hand and said to his son.
"Really, I'll wear another dress later! It just so happens that the deerskin jacket made for me by my mother can be worn," Wang Xiaohu said with a surprised expression, but he rolled his eyes in his heart and thought: "Can I still not understand the principles of snowflakes melting and absorbing heat?" ”。
"Little flower, little flower, get up quickly! Brother has taken you to build a snowman! Wang Xiaohu turned around and ran to the house to call his sister, and put on the new deerskin jacket by the way.
"Xiaohua, do you see that my brother's deerskin jacket looks good!" Wang Xiaohu, who was wearing new clothes, said to his sister who was still lying in the quilt and was reluctant to get up, and at the same time said words to lure his sister to get up.
"It's good-looking, my brother's clothes are good-looking, but my deerskin jacket is even better, and my mother showed me a plum blossom on my clothes!" said that his brother's clothes were good-looking, and later said that he looked better! At the same time, he was motionless in the bed.
"Xiaohua, get up quickly, it's so thick snow on the ground outside, now that the snow has stopped, the sun is out, let's go build a snowman together, okay" Wang Xiaohu continued to say something that wanted his sister to get up.
"Oh no, it's too cold! It's warm in the quilt, brother, next time you shoot more deer, it's better to fight a tiger, and it's definitely warmer to use tiger skin to make clothes and quilts than deerskin. Wang Xiaohua only showed a small head in the quilt, and said with wide eyes looking at her brother who was already wearing a deerskin jacket.
"Okay, next time I will give you a big tiger, and then the tiger skin will make clothes for you! But Xiaohua, if you don't get up again, the sun will dry your buttocks" Wang Xiaohu promised with his mouth full, but he was thinking in his heart:
"I also want to hunt tigers, but after a few trips, I can hunt either deer or cows, or wild wolves and hares, and tigers are really hard to meet. And although some animals can be dealt with by themselves, there are so many people in the hunter team, if someone is injured, it is their own fault, and it seems that they need to find an opportunity to go into the mountains by themselves."
"Then brother, I'll take your clothes and bake the fire, and you will get up, okay! Otherwise, I'll go play with the snowman by myself. Wang Xiaohu continued to say to his sister, and then took his sister's deerskin jacket, which was almost the same as himself, and went to the kitchen!
"Xiaohu, Xiaohua hasn't gotten up yet!" Tian Xia saw her son coming to the kitchen with a deerskin jacket, and asked in a somewhat affirmative tone.
"Well, not yet, I'll get up when I'm done baking my clothes," Wang Xiaohu replied to his mother's words while roasting the fire.
"This little flower is getting lazier and lazier! Xiaohu, you will be less accustomed to her in the future, if you are used to being squeamish, you will not be able to find a good in-law in the future" Tian Xia said to her son a little angrily, feeling that Xiaohu was too accustomed to her sister.
"Ahh Mother, Xiaohua is still so young, it's too early to think so much! Wang Xiaohu was shocked by the second half of his mother's sentence, how old is his sister!
"You have to teach it well from a young age, otherwise you will have it when you grow up" Tian Xia said and deliberately glanced at her son, her eyes were full of joy, indicating that her son's education was very successful, and now the main hunting force in the family is her son!
"Oh! All right! Wang Xiaohu said on his lips, but in his heart he said: Sister ask for more blessings!
"Xiaohu, I don't know why, in the past two days, I have met some people from the same village, who are very kind to me, by the way, and have more respect, it must be because Xiaohu you have great hunting skills, and everyone envies me!" Tian Xia thought of the things in the village in the past two days and said to her son, her face was full of pride, and she laughed silently at the corner of her mouth when she thought about it.
"It must be because of my mother's good popularity, and now that I have a capable son, others want to have a relationship with you." Wang Xiaohu, whose face was affirmative, said to his mother, but he was thinking in his heart:
"I'm sure I'm kind to you! I owe you food! They don't necessarily pay it back, but they owe you something! I hope that when the mother knows the truth, she will be less angry! ”
"Xiaohu, hurry up and tell Xiaohua to get up, and we'll eat later!" I said a word to my son and continued to cook!
"Okay, let's call" Wang Xiaohu said this and went to call his sister to eat!
After Wang Xiaohu left, Tian Xia said to her husband who was burning the fire: "Boss, the noodles are used up, you go to the cellar to fight the bag noodles and come out, and I will make some oil cakes to eat." ”
"Okay, I'll get it!" Wang Da Niu got up and went to the cellar as he spoke!
After a while, Tian Xia saw her husband coming over with a bag of noodles with an angry face, and asked puzzledly: "What's wrong, the master!" ”
After a while, Wang Daniu looked at his wife and said, "Half of the grain in the cellar is missing!" After speaking, he looked at his wife and seemed to ask where the food was!
"Ahh How can it be, how can I have less food at home every day! Was it stolen? Tian Xia exclaimed, her face full of shock and deep puzzlement.
"Ah, isn't that the grain you took? How could it be! Wang Daniu was also shocked, thinking that his wife had taken food to help his mother's family! Because the weather has been getting colder and colder recently, my wife is usually at home! He had just gone to check if there was a lot of silver, but he was pleased that there was a lot of silver.
"I didn't! I was going to give my mother's family a few bags of rice and noodles, but it had been snowing for the past few days! And I'll definitely tell you before I send it! Tian Xia hurriedly explained to her husband, her face was full of puzzlement, she was at home every day tomorrow, and she was fine in the cellar ten days ago!
"Well, what's going on, it's impossible to recruit thieves!" Wang Daniu's heart was full of puzzlement, after all, it was a relatively remote poor mountain village.
Tian Xia shook her head and said that she didn't know, "I'll ask Xiaohu Xiaohua later!" See if you see anyone coming to the house to steal food. ”
"Alas, well! But you will have to look strict at home in the future, after all, we all put the grain in the cellar, and ordinary thieves can't find the cellar! Wang Daniu said helplessly.
After a while, Wang Daniu's family gathered around the table and began to prepare for dinner, but Wang Daniu and his wife had very bad faces, and their minds were not focused on eating at all.
I only heard Wang Daniu suddenly ask: "Xiaohu, Xiaohua, have you two seen strangers coming to the house recently?" Or is there anyone carrying a big bag from home? ”。
"Dad, I didn't see it!" Wang Xiaohua looked at her father suspiciously with innocent eyes.
"Dad, I haven't seen any strangers come to the house to move things!" Wang Xiaohu's face also looked at his father with innocent eyes, but after thinking for a while, he continued:
"However, I sent some food to Grandma Zhou, Grandpa Wang and some other people in the same village, I told my mother!"
"Well, Xiaohu told me!" Tian Xia subconsciously said to her husband.
After finishing speaking, Tian Xia seemed to react and stared at her son and asked, "Ah! What do you give you something to eat? ”
"Mother, you forgot, you asked me to go to the kitchen to get some steamed buns, and I moved a little rice and noodles from the cellar!" Wang Xiaohu continued to look at his mother with innocent eyes.
"What! You said you moved a little rice and noodles, so the cellar is half empty! And when did I let you go to the cellar to carry grain, ah! Mother Tian Xia looked at her son in disbelief and said loudly, That's half cellar food!
Wang Xiaohu looked at his mother, whose expression had changed greatly, and was speechless for a long time, but he still pretended to be stupid and said: "Well, I move less at one time, and half of it will be empty if I move more times, I still want to talk to my father!" Next time I go to the town to buy a little more food, it won't be enough for me to borrow! ”
"Ahh Wang Daniu and his wife looked at their son in a daze, feeling like they were seeing it for the first time.
Wang Xiaohu looked at the eyes of his parents and felt that this might be the collision of ideas of the times!
