The next morning, the sky was blue and white clouds. The rising sun sprinkled ten thousand golden rays on Le Jinghui's house.

After Zhang Shaofei and Le Jinghui's family had breakfast, they stretched their waists and said, "When you're full, go up the mountain to collect medicine!" ”

Le Zhicheng put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at Zhang Shaofei standing next to him and said, "Ah Fei, Ah Mei, I'll go with you." ”

"Second brother, today is the Tiangang Pingwei period, didn't you and Daddy make an appointment with the merchants outside the mountain to exchange goods? I'll just go with Brother Afei. Don't worry, we'll take care of each other. Le Zhidan reminded.

Le Zhicheng touched his head, looked cute, and said, "Oh, if you don't say it, I forgot about it." ”

Zhang Shaofei looked at Le Zhicheng and said, "Let's go together next time." ”

"Okay, I'll have to wait until next time." Le Zhicheng said with a smile.

Le Zhidan brought a small bamboo basket and a small hoe from the old house, and was about to say to Zhang Shaofei, "Let's go." ”

Unexpectedly, the eldest sister Le Zhihua came over and took the small back basket and the small hoe, and said in the tone of the elder sister: "Third sister, you were chased by a tiger on the mountain yesterday, and you haven't returned your soul yet, so you can accompany A-Niang at home today." Sister Shanlu is more familiar than you, and it is more appropriate for me to accompany Ah Fei to go up the mountain to pick mountain herbs. ”

Le Zhidan saw that Le Zhihua wanted her to stay at home with her mother, of course she was unwilling. But she was forced to make Le Zhihua her sister, so she reluctantly pleaded with her father: "Daddy, I said yesterday that I would let my sister accompany my mother at home." ”

Who knew that Le Jinghui said: "What the eldest sister said just now is reasonable, you should stay at home and recuperate." ”

Le Zhidan had no choice but to see it helplessly and said, "That, okay." ”

"Ah Fei, eldest sister, go up the mountain to collect medicine, climb the rock and go down the gully, you must be careful." Le Jinghui and Shi Jinying admonished in unison.

"Don't worry, we will pay attention to safety and come back safely." Zhang Shaofei said as he took the small hoe in the eldest sister's hand and carried it.

Le Zhihua carried the bamboo basket on his back and whispered, "Ah Fei, let's go." ”

Along the road, the trees are like forests, the mountains are like the sea, and the water is murmuring, Zhang Shaofei walked a few steps closely, parallel to Le Zhihua.

Zhang Shaofei made a grimace, coughed dryly, and looked at Le Zhihua: "Sister, you ...... What did you just call me? ”

Le Zhihua said coquettishly: "Ah Fei! ”

"Then do I have to change my words and call you Ah Hua?" Zhang Shaofei said with a smile.

"Okay! Aren't you afraid that your little Lanmei will be cool when she hears it? Le Zhihua deliberately touched Zhang Shaofei with his arm, and ran away like a gust of wind.

"Ah Hua, wait for me! Don't lose me......" Zhang Shaofei's deep male voice stirred up a deep echo in the mountains and ravines in the early morning.

After a few days of contact and getting along, Le Zhihua, a woman known for her arrogant "cold beauty" in the village, seemed to be secretly moved by Zhang Shaofei's handsome appearance and talent. Last night's excessive intimacy with Zhang Shaofei, she inexplicably gave birth to a trace of love, and was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night, got up early in the morning, and dressed up carefully, as if she was going on a date with her first love.

……

Zhang Shaofei was about to step forward to take Le Zhihua's hand, when suddenly, he heard a burst of wailing from the tea grove not far ahead.

"Hey, Ah Hua, what's that sound?" Zhang Shaofei listened carefully.

"It's the wailing sound of the horse's injury." Le Zhihua often followed her father and younger brother to hunt in the mountains, and she dealt with all kinds of prey a lot, so she naturally knew it when she heard it.

Zhang Shaofei and Le Zhihua followed the direction of the cry and came to the depths of the tea grove.

Sunlight shines through the dense canopy, casting swaying spots of light onto the ground.

Under a large tea tree with pimples on its bark, two horses with brown and yellow fur put their hands into a wooden box and shouted "whoa, whoa".

When the two horses saw one with a small hoe in his hand and the other with a small bamboo basket on his back, thinking that they were hunters who had come to kill them, they cried out in fear, trying to run away but could not pull their hands out of the wooden box.

On the light red faces of the two horses, the pair of round eyes were full of tears, looking at Zhang Shaofei and Le Zhihua, full of horror and pleading.

"What's going on?" Zhang Shaofei came to the big tea tree not far from Ma Liuzai, took a look, and realized that the two Ma Liuzi were caught by the trap laid by the hunter.

It turned out that there were a lot of horses in the high mountains and dense forests, and the hunters in the mountains knew that the horses loved to steal fruits, so they dug a small hole in the wooden box, and the size of the hole was just enough for the horses' hands to reach into.

The hunter put the horse's favorite fruit in the wooden box, and the greedy horse's sense of smell was Trane, and when he came to the wooden box, he would reach into the hole and steal it when he found the fruit in the small hole.

It was easy for the horse's empty hand to go straight into the hole, but the hand holding the fruit took the shape of a fist, and it was difficult to retract it again.

Ma Liuzi is smart, but he will be ignorant for a while in the face of greed.

They don't want to let go of the fruit in their hands, so the harder they pull out, the tighter the hole gets into their hands and they can't break free.

Hunters often set up such traps to catch horses.

After Zhang Shaofei learned about this method of "catching monkeys" through careful inspection, his compassion suddenly rose, and when he saw the frightened state of the two horses who were trapped in the mechanism and couldn't extricate themselves, he walked forward gently, showed a smiling face, made gestures, and calmly said to Ma Liuzai: "Don't panic, I won't harm you." ”

Although the two horses can't understand people's words, they are very intelligent creatures, from Zhang Shaofei's friendly expression, they know that this person is not malicious, and their hands are stuck in the wooden box and can't be pulled out, so they can't pull out their legs and run away, so they have to let it go.

Zhang Shaofei pinched his chin and stared at the small wooden box and the trapped horse, how to rescue them?

Oh Qing, having an idea in his heart, took a small hoe and slammed it down towards the top of the two wooden boxes, "pop, pop" twice, and the wooden boxes were smashed open.

Seeing this, Le Zhihua wanted to step forward to stop it, but it was too late.

Zhang Shaofei saw that Ma Liuzai's hand was still greedily clutching a sand pear, and said with a smile: "This pair of gluttonous ghosts, no wonder they are doing it to themselves." Then he pulled away the hand that Ma Liuzi was holding on to Sha Li, and then slowly dragged his hand out of the small hole to free the two horses.

Zhang Shaofei stretched out his hand and pointed to the depths of the dense forest, and said to the two horses: "You have to pay attention in the future, don't be hurt by greed, let's go." ”

Strange to say, the two horses did not leave immediately, but stepped forward and pulled Zhang Shaofei's trousers in a friendly manner, this time the "whoop, whoop" cry was no longer frightened, but to express their gratitude.
