"Dog! What are you doing? ”

The little boy with a snot snot was squatting on the ground, digging around with a wooden shovel, not knowing what he was digging.

Hearing someone call his name, he turned around and saw that it was Zhu'er, wiping his nose with his black and shiny cuffs, and said disapprerovitously: "It's you, I'm digging beetroot." ”

Beetroot is the rhizome of a weed, the first half of which dies in autumn, and the lower part remains in the soil, is slender, white, and slightly sweet to eat.

It is usually dug up by children as a snack and chewed in their mouths to sweeten it.

"Why dig beetroot?" Zhu'er asked knowingly.

The dog snorted, in the winter, he, like Zhu'er, was wearing summer clothes, and his exposed hands and feet were frozen and bruised, and it was estimated that he had already lost consciousness.

"What else can you do, eat."

"You don't have any food at home?"

"Originally, there was still there, but there was no more food after handing over, my father went to the town to transport grain yesterday, and my mother has been crying at home!"

"Why is your mother crying?"

"What else can you cry about?" Goudan sighed, gave Zhu'er a wooden stick, generously made a place for him, and asked him to dig together, "The food at home is gone, my brother was born less than a month, and he has to pay three buckets of food, if he hadn't reported my brother, it is estimated that my mother would have strangled him." ”

Zhu'er was shocked, "Who said they were going to strangle him?" ”

"Who else can it be, my mother."

"Is she willing?"

"Even if you are reluctant, it is better than starving to death as a family."

After saying this, the dog no longer spoke, but silently dug the beetroot, and when he dug it, he rubbed the soil with his sleeve and pinched a beetroot and put it in his mouth, as if chewing some delicacies.

At the same time, there was a hunger cry in his stomach.

"You haven't eaten?"

The dog looked at Zhu'er angrily, did this person find fault, he said that there was no food at home.

Otherwise, his mother wouldn't have cried every day!

But at this glance, he was directly stunned.

I saw Zhu'er take out a piece of white cake from the cloth bag around his waist, put it to his mouth and took a bite, and a strange sweetness of food filled the air, drifting down the air to the dog's nose.

He opened his mouth wide in surprise, and a stream of sparkling saliva flowed from his mouth.

"Zhu'er," he almost choked on saliva, swallowed quickly, and continued to look at Zhu'er with straight eyes, "What are you eating?" ”

"Cake, my sister made it for me." Zhu'er looked disapplieving.

Goudan couldn't believe it: "Yesterday, your sister couldn't hand over the food and was almost beheaded, if it weren't for Grandpa Shao's help, it is estimated that several of you would have died, this cake is so white, how good wheat flour does it take to make it?" ”

Prompted by hunger and a desire to eat, the egg-looking goofy reacts quickly.

Zhu'er looked nervously left and right, and saw that there was no one around, so he leaned into the dog's ear and whispered: "This is a secret, my sister can conjure food, and this cake is what she conjure." ”

With that, he grinned and took another bite of the pie to look at the dog's eggs.

The dog looked at him wistfully, his expression glazed.

"Really? Then give me a bite of your bread. ”

He clearly didn't believe it, but in order to eat something, he still pretended to believe it with a clear conscience.

Who said that dogs are stupid and easy to deceive?

Zhu'er rolled her eyes in her heart, pretending to be reluctant to look at the cake in her hand, "No, this is made for me by my sister." ”

Goudan patiently coaxed him: "I won't eat you for nothing, I'll exchange beetroot with you." ”

As he spoke, he shoved a few beetroots with dirt into Zhu'er's hands.

Zhu'er returned it to him: "I don't want it, there is no cake to eat." ”

The dog no longer gave it to him, but stood up and looked around quickly.

"What are you looking for?" Zhu'er was a little curious.

"See if there's anybody." After saying that, the dog smiled evilly, flew to Zhu'er, and snatched his cake.

Good guy, coercion and temptation can't be found, and it's time to start working.

Goudan is thirteen years old this year, four years older than Zhu'er, but it can't be seen from the outside, they are all poor families who can't eat enough, hungry to the bones, Zhu'er has a full stomach during this time and began to grow big, and he has fought back and forth.

In fact, he can easily press the dog to the ground and beat it, but for the sake of his sister's plan, he endures it.

Finally, I don't know how long later, Zhu'er lay on the ground panting, and his cake was snatched away by the dog, who squatted on the ground with his back to him and devoured it, not caring about the pain in his body.

"Zhu'er, I'm sorry, I'm so hungry."

After eating the cake, the conscience of the dog who ran away from home returned.

He turned his head to look for Zhu'er to apologize, but his eyeballs almost fell out, only to see Zhu'er take out another piece of cake and chew it in his mouth.

"You ......"

The dog wants to talk and stops, is Gu Lan so generous? Aren't they starving to death without food? Why are there so many delicious cakes?

Crystal saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth again.

Zhu'er looked disdainful: "I have a lot of this kind of cake at home, didn't I tell you that my sister made it?" She can make what you can't eat become edible, but I'll only tell you one person, and you must not let anyone know! ”

The dog's brain is a little insufficient.

"What did your sister take?"

"You really want to know?"

"I want to!" The dog was so excited that he was about to break his voice, if he could know the way, the family would not be hungry, and the mother would not have to think about strangling her brother, and she would not cry day and night.

How he wanted to fill his stomach!

But such a simple request has not been fully fulfilled since birth.

Zhu'er's eyes were dripping, and he grinned: "My sister said, this method can't be told to outsiders, unless you are not an outsider." ”

"From then on, we will be brothers! I'm covering you, and if anyone bullies you, I'll help you beat him! The dog's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he felt that the snow-white and sweet cake was beckoning to him!

"Brother? No, I don't lack brothers, so let's do it, I'm going to be a general in the future, I think you're not bad, why don't you be my subordinate? In the future, when I am developed, as long as I have a mouthful of meat to eat, I will have you to drink a mouthful of soup, how about it? ”

Anyway, there is no one else, Zhu'er patted his chest and blew loudly, recruiting a little brother, naturally the bigger the blow, the better.

He snickered in his heart, not thinking that this cowhide would come true in the future.

Goudan didn't notice the first half of his words at all, only heard the meat and soup, and he was about to tremble with excitement.

"Okay, you eat meat, I'll drink soup! I'll be your subordinate! ”

"Then let's pull a hook!"

Hanging for a hundred years is not allowed to change, whoever changes is a bastard!

In a secluded and remote village in winter, a group of people and horses are rushing here in the distance, and the sound of horses' hooves has not broken the tranquility of the mountain village.

Under the warm afternoon sun, a small joke is brewing into a towering tree.
