Chapter 5: Don't Do This, Don't Do That!

His smiling face also became very serious, and he began to pray: "Old man, I have come back to see you." ”

After a sentence, I was already crying. When he cried, Lan Lan's tears also crackled.

Yang Xu wiped away the tears on his face with his sleeve, reached out and patted Lan Lan's head: "Old man, our family has introduced more people. Just like when you picked me up, I also picked up a granddaughter for you. This is the style of our home. Sleeping in the old cat room, which has been passed down from generation to generation. Lan Lan, kowtow to your grandfather! ”

Lan Lan has had no relatives since she can remember, so she really wants to have a family and have relatives. Although she couldn't fully understand what that meant, she also knew that it was an extremely important moment, so she put crystal tears on her face and respectfully kowtowed three times.

"In the future, your name will be Li Xiaoya!" Lao Wang nodded with satisfaction. Then he saw that beside Lan Lan, Xiaobai was kneeling on the ground with dignity. He kowtowed, his eyes still fixed on the fat chicken provided. He was inattentive.

You Tibetan mastiffs are going to participate in this event and want to know your ancestors. Lao Wang is a little sad, but everyone else kowtows, so from now on he will be a family. It seems that we were prescient when we named Xiaobai. But what generation is it, and is it the same generation or the next generation as Lan Lan?

After the confession ceremony, Yang Xu also packed up his mood and led his family back. By now, they have become a family. What he didn't know was that from the moment they struggled together in the river, their destinies were completely connected as the magic bead entered their bodies.

Lao Wang turned back as he walked, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and hit his monkey head twice: this thing must not be nostalgic for the grave, but nostalgic for the fat chicken offered.

Woo - Xiao Hei roared twice in his throat, then suddenly turned and ran back. When Wang looked back, there was a faint red light flickering on the cemetery. He was shocked that the paper had been burned and that it must have come back to life. Now the weather is dry. If the grass is set on fire, it will be troublesome to burn the camp.

The mountain was most afraid of this, so he ran back at great speed. It is estimated that Bolt will have to follow him to eat ash when he comes.

I ran back to see it, but luckily it was a false alarm. The grass on the ground did not catch fire, and everything was the same as before. Only Blackie sniffed on the ground.

It seems that the red light just now is on again - Lao Wang couldn't help but pat his forehead. What's going on lately? It's always a bit of a trance.

No, where is the chicken butt?

I saw that the fat cock was still in its original position, but the part of the chicken's butt was bitten and turned bald. Lao Wang couldn't help but shout angrily: "Xiaobai, you trash, did you steal it?" ”

Xiaobai hasn't come back yet. As soon as he heard that this was wrong, he shook the monkey's head a few times, and then looked at an old elm tree with a crooked neck next to him, and rushed up in twos and threes.

This performance more and more confirmed Yang Xu's speculation and made it clear that he was guilty. There are many genetic factors that go into monkeys in this regard. In the beginning, their ancestors, the monkeys, never stole anything!

"Uncle Uncle!" Xiaolan is very righteous and helps Xiaobai clean up. She pointed to Xiaobai's mouth and shook hands vigorously, indicating that it was clean. Ghost Xiaobai also pointed to his small mouth and grinned at Lao Wang.

Lao Wang also took a closer look. There are no grease stains on Xiaobai's mouth. Strange, is this called ghost eating?

Thinking of this, Lao Wang couldn't help but feel a cool breeze blowing on his back. He suddenly remembered a mistake: when the old man was alive, he seemed to like to eat chicken butts the most!

Did the old man really show up? Lao Wang looked at the tomb with surprise in his eyes. The idea is a bit shocking.

When Lao Wang was not sure, he heard Xiao Hei roar a few times and rushed towards the willow bushes not far away. At the beginning of spring, the willow bushes are pale yellow and appear sparse, so a red shadow soon flashes.

"Ah," Lan Lan shouted. In fact, she wanted to say "leopard".

It turned out to be a fire leopard - Lao Wang patted his chest and sounded a false alarm. It must have been the leopard that smelled the chicken. This is my filial piety to the elderly. What's the matter with you running to pick up the bargain?

In a fit of rage, Lao Wang really wanted to catch the chicken thief and bring him to justice, but he thought about it. There are fewer and fewer animals in the mountains. Leopards are rare. Don't kill it all. Life is not easy.

So he called Xiao Hei back. The tiger hisses with a long tongue and looks tired. However, with the sensitivity of a leopard, it is unlikely that Blackie will be able to catch it. Moreover, Xiao Hei is already seven or eight years old, and according to human algorithms, he has entered old age.

When leaving the cemetery, Lan Lan seemed a little reluctant and looked back from time to time. Passing through the branches of the willow tree, there is a large elegant leopard with eyes as bright as blue orchids, watching passers-by.

On the way home, Xiaobai, who had cleared his grievances, began to be dishonest again. He climbed the tree and was not noisy. Gradually, Yang Xu also noticed something unusual: every three or five times, there was always a tree that grew different, obviously a little thicker and taller than the surrounding trees.

Having lived here since childhood, Yang Xu still has some research on trees. This secondary forest is a small tree that has been around for more than a decade; These striking trees are only forty or fifty years old and look like the giant Yao Ming standing in the crowd.

Strange, strange,—— Yang Xu frowned at that time. Although he is a bit fat, he should be able to see when such an obvious situation arises.

Seeing that her uncle was blind there, Lan Lan pointed at Xiaobai, then pointed to the faint urine stain under the root of the tree, and then fanned her hand in front of her wrinkled nose.

"Isn't it ridiculous that you say this is the reason for Xiaobai to pee?" Lao Wang understood what Lan Lan meant. Although manure is a good fertilizer, the village elders often talk about crops and flowers, and the whole family relies on manure, but the effect is not so immediate.

In other words, practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Lao Wang decided to check it. So, he dragged Xiaobai to a larch with a thick bowl mouth, and made a long gesture to tell him to urinate on the spot.

But at this time, Xiaobai's smart power disappeared, and he looked at it blankly, not knowing what to do. The angry old king really wanted to kick it up the tree: didn't you just laugh!

It seemed that it was just a gimmick, so he pulled Lan Lan aside. Lao Wang unbuttoned his pants, pointed to the big tree, and demonstrated to Xiaobai. To verify the effect, I didn't really pee.

As expected, the power of the model is endless. Xiaobai really understood this time, squatted under the tree, raised one hind leg, and urinated in a pose. Are you a monkey? Why do you learn from tigers?

In order to verify with his own eyes, Lao Wang squatted next to him, staring without blinking. After waiting for more than a minute, Xiaobai still hadn't urinated. He turned his head to Lao Wang, grinned, and looked hard. However, his body structure is different from that of a dog. He can't urinate when he wants to.

Why don't you pee again now? Lao Wang was very angry. It seems necessary to replenish Xiaobai with more water.

Seeing that there were no outsiders around except Lan Lan, he stretched out his hand to the ground and saw a clear stream gushing out of the ground. Under his guidance, it was injected directly into Xiaobai's mouth.

It happened that the Tibetan mastiff was also thirsty and ate a few bites. The water didn't decrease, and finally I choked.

Lan Lan also ran over and helped the Tibetan mastiff beat his back. After a long toss, Xiaobai slowed down and finally threw a bubble at the root of the tree.

I've never seen anything so laborious - Lao Wang pulled Xiaobai aside so as not to block his view. However, this practice is a bit of a donkey killing, causing the little white to squeak.

Under Lao Wang's gaze, the larch with the thickness of the bowl began to grow at a rate visible to the naked eye. The dry branches also begin to emit fluffy green needles that become more vibrant.

Oh my god, it's so peeing! Lao Wang squatted for a long time and felt a little numb. In addition, he was surprised and sat on the ground.

About half an hour later, Xiaobai's watered larch was originally only the size of a bowl, but now Lan Lan could barely hold it, and the height was more than 10 meters higher than the next few larch. At this point, Lao Wang was finally convinced that all this was really the effect of Xiaobai.

But it's not scientific. Even if Xiao Bai's ancestor Monkey King came here, it was very likely that he would not have this ability. In the beginning, Monkey King peed on the Buddha's fingers. He doesn't seem to have heard of this effect.

Although he was confused and seeing was believing, Lao Wang still had to choose to believe. Then he couldn't help but start dancing and almost sang "Wahaha".

It's really exciting to think about, under Xiaobai's diligent irrigation, the small trees all over the mountains will become a large primeval forest in a few years, and they will be restored to their original state. How could Lao Wang not be excited?

So much so that the eyes looking at the crotch of the little white pants are very longing: really precious!

Chirp - Xiaobai was also frightened by his hot eyes. His two little paws were still tightly covering Xiao Ding, and his round eyes were staring nervously at Lao Wang: What do you want?

Hey, hey, hey, Lao Wang smiled a little: "Brother Monkey, I'll bring you a drink bottle, and put it in the bottle when I pee." Don't waste it. The mountain is all up to you. And, when I have money in my pocket, I will give you drinks, sodas, watermelon, and beer every day! ”

After promising many benefits, the Tibetan mastiff was elated and proudly climbed on the shoulders of the old king. In this regard, the short man has no complaints: Brother Monkey, you are so powerful. You're just peeing on my neck, I don't have to say it!

But the Tibetan mastiff forgot that its bad owner did not have fleas, and could not even take out a five-cent coin.

At the entrance of the village, Lao Wang looked back at the wild mountains and made a certain decision in his heart

Finally, Yang Xu and his family stood in front of the wooden door. These are three adobe houses. The tarps on the roof were rotting, and the doors and windows were grinning, as if they were crying excitedly when they saw their owners returning.

Batabata, Yang Xu's tears also fell involuntarily, and the corners of his mouth choked: "Lan Lan, this is our home!" "That's right, it's the home he's lived in for 24 years, and there are so many memories here. Now, it's back in the arms.

Lan Lan's big eyes looked at the big house and yard. Is this home, a name she doesn't dare to think of?

Xiaobai didn't care about the two people, the big one and the small one, they were all crying silently. It swooped down from the wooden gate and fell into the yard. Then, a green shadow flashed, and Xiao Hei flew directly out of the wicker fence more than a meter high. It seems that this is reduced to the posture of the waiter who is white.

Yang Xu also cleaned up his mood, opened the rusty lock, pushed the door and entered the hospital. Now that he's back, he'll build his own family well, including Grizzly Swallow.

The rustic courtyard is very spacious and there is a large garden in front and back of the house. When the time comes, you can grow some vegetables and be completely self-sufficient.

When I opened the door, there was a musty smell inside. The entrance is the kitchen, often referred to as the exterior room. To the north, there is a stove where pots and pans are all located, but covered with dust.

There are two houses on the east side and two houses on the west side. Xiaobai has already pushed the door into the house. There is a quilt cabinet on the north kang and two small cabinets on the ground. There is some clutter on the cabinet. The house is simple.

"Clean the house!" Yang Xu waved his hand. Why not clean the whole world without cleaning the house.

At this time, Aunt Biao also brought a washbasin with warm water and began to clean the rag and wipe the table and kang. Yang Xu first wiped the frame on the top of the cabinet cover. There are several photos in it. Looking at the old man with a goatee and a smile, Yang Xu murmured silently in his heart: Old man, I really came back to accompany you this time. ”

Lan Lan was not idle. She found a feather duster under the quilt cabinet and cleaned the tower ash from the roof. When Yang Xu was a child, he often guessed riddles. One of the riddles is "shake, shake, root". That's what he said.

However, the feather duster in her hand was soon taken over by Xiaobai. She saw it jump up and down, swinging. It's a pleasure to do it. Aunt Biao wrinkled her mouth happily: "This Tibetan mastiff cub uses feathers as arrows-"

After a while, Lao Li came in with a few rice bags; The manager also walked around with his hands on his back, and then asked the eldest boy, Li Dashuai, to pull firewood and branches in a donkey cart; Li Daming also came wearing an antenna hat: "The east wind is blowing, and the war drums are beating." This guy is in full swing. I'll help him too. ”

Even Erdan's daughter-in-law came to help. She brought some noodles, potatoes, dried vegetables, and a large piece of meat skin. She said that Yang Xu would boil the pot for a while, but it didn't work. The pot is rusty and useless. All this made Yang Xu's heart hot: instead of losing an old guy, it is better to lose a handful of gold.

Seeing the daughter-in-law of the second egg, everyone started joking again. Li Da understood, and said slowly: "It must be said that women are very careful and considerate. Rice, noodles, oil, and salt are all ready. Erdan's daughter-in-law, what are you doing here? ”

A piece of pork rind was pressed to his face, and Milan sneered, "If I don't gag your mouth—"

Few people are good at cooking, and many are good at work. After more than an hour of busy work, the house was finally finished and looked a bit like home. The helpers continued to disperse, and Yang Xu did not leave us to eat. Now his pockets are cleaner than his face. It's good to keep a few things in mind. There will be opportunities in the future.

Place the futon on a lattice to dry, then take a bundle of firewood and start boiling a large cauldron. After the fire, Lan Lan and Xiaobai squatted at the kitchen door to be responsible for starting the fire, while Yang Xu threw the meat skin into the pot, fat side down, and rubbed it hard. One is to remove rust, and the other is that the iron pot can only be used if it is smooth after eating grease.

Xiaobai poked a flashlight with two forks in the kitchen pit, but the result was that the lamp smoked and no fire was seen, which made both it and Lan Lan blush and tears burst out of their eyes. It seems that the burning of fires is also a technical job, and they need further research.

It is estimated that the chimney does not burn easily because it has not burned for a long time. Yang Xu pushed open the door and looked at the chimney on the roof, there was no smoke at all. Just as I turned to enter the room, I heard a dull thud from the room, which made the floor flicker. I saw a puff of smoke coming out of the pit in the kitchen, mixed with sparks. Soon, no one could see the room outside.

Then, two black men rushed out of the room with strange screams. Yang Xu saw Lan Lan turn into a black African child. As for Xiaobai, changing his name to Xiaohei is almost the same.

Yang Xu also experienced this situation. The main reason is that the cold air in the kang cave is too large, and the hot and cold air currents converge, resulting in a splash of water from the kitchen pit, commonly known as choking. If the situation is severe, the pot may collapse.

When the smoke clears, go inside and have a look. Luckily, the pot table was fine, but the sand and mud around the side of the pot had collapsed, and the smoke was blowing out. Just now, there was still some sand and mud left in the stove. It will be done within a circle.

After a big sneeze, the stove was also ventilated and burned. Yang Xu continued to refine the pot, while Lan Lan wiped the ashtray that had just fallen from the pot and jar with a rag. I could tell that this little guy was very competent and took care of the family.

He rubbed the large iron pot black and shiny, and poured a few scoops of water into it. It was only then that Yang Xu found that the water tank was filled by someone else. Because Grizzly Bear Village is relatively remote and backward, the tap water is not connected, and the water in the small well is not delicious, so people still draw water from the big well decades ago. The large well is more than 30 meters deep. The windlass shook for a long time. Even on dog days in May, June, and June, there is a ring of ice at the bottom of the well. After dinner, the elderly of every household gather at the well with a flat pole, which is also a public place for small talk.

Take out the skin of the meat from the pot and give it to Xiao Hei. Maybe it was because he knew that Yang Xu would not leave, and Xiao Hei officially went home. He kept walking around the house, not knowing if he was looking for a shadow of the past.

Of course, Xiaobai rushed to do the work, but it smelled good. It took a bite, remained motionless, and was handed to Blackie.

Although Xiao Hei looks fierce, he has a decent mouth and does not bite Xiao Bai's claws when he picks at his skin with his mouth. Looking at this pair of children, Yang Xu was also very happy. He remembered that Xiao Hei was very sensible when he was a child. In winter, if the child of the family nibbles the cake outside, he will always be taken away by the cake and will never bite his own hand.
