Chapter 4: Yu Chen

"Rhubarb, look for it, where is Ah Chen, take me to him, and go back to reward you for eating meat and bones!" Yu Wan stretched out his little hand to smooth the rhubarb's back and tempted it.

Rhubarb got Yu Wan's instructions, as if he really understood what Yu Wan said, he began to sniff around, and after a while, he spread his limbs and ran in one direction.

The speed of the rhubarb was too fast, and he ran away without paying attention, and when Yu Wan saw this, he had no choice but to chase after him......

She followed the direction of Rhubarb to the village, and when Yu Wan arrived panting, she saw the picture of Rhubarb frolicking around a group of children.

To be precise, Rhubarb was chasing the five-year-old boy who was running around a group of children.

As the child ran, he turned back from time to time to see if Rhubarb was chasing after him, and the children around him were also like peek-a-boo, teasing Rhubarb to run after them.

Seeing them playing, Yu Wan was not in a hurry, walked to the old tree standing in the middle of the village, and sat on the stone bench to rest.

Her attention was drawn to the old tree, and she had not looked closely at it after having been in the village for so long, so she looked up.

This tree, with its thick taproot and ancient branches, is coiled like a dragon, and its crown is like an umbrella, and its shape is beautiful.

From Yu Wan's cognition, this should be a king-sized dragon claw, in her previous life, she had only seen a large tree in the back garden of the Forbidden City, but she didn't expect this inconspicuous mortal village to have such a tree?

I heard the old man in the village say that this tree has been around for thousands of years, and the specific time is no longer known, only that this tree existed when the village existed.

Because it is shaped like an umbrella, with thick branches and lush leaves, it has naturally become the best place for the village to relax and escape the heat, so that someone has made a swing and a set of simple stone tables and stone benches on this old tree for the elderly or children in the village to rest and play.

After resting for a while, he also recovered, got up and looked at his younger brother who was still teasing Rhubarb and running, and shouted helplessly:

Ah Chen...... Stop playing, it's time to go home for dinner, my mother is still waiting for us. ”

When Yu Chen heard Yu Wan's words, he ran to her with two little short legs and hugged her:

"Sister, you're back. ”

Yu Wan touched his brother's head and said:

"I'm not good today, I ran out to play?"

"I don't have anyone, I have big waves and small waves and Ah Li to accompany them. ”

After speaking, he turned his head and pointed to a group of children playing with rhubarb, and Yu Wan looked over.

Three boys, the oldest is only six years old, the youngest is three years old, the one called Da Lang is the biggest of them, and the name of the family is also casual enough, the big name is called Yu Dalang;

The youngest of the three years old is Yu Xiaolang, Da Lang's younger brother;

And Ah Li's name is Yu Li, and he is a five-year-old boy with Yu Chen.

Several children came to Yu Wan, and Da Lang was the first to come over and said:

"Sister Evening, I heard that you are going up the mountain again?"

After speaking, he was very excited and continued:

"Sister Wan, you are so bold, you dare to go up the mountain alone, can you take me with you next time you go up the mountain?

As soon as he finished speaking, the big bun in his arms, and Xiao Lang and Ah Li behind him, also hurriedly responded:

"Take me too!"

"Take me too!"

"I'll go too!"

Yu Wan had no choice but to hold her forehead, did this group of bear children go to play when she went up the mountain?!

If it weren't for the fact that she was an old aunt in the core, who knew wild vegetables and fruits more knowledgeable than them, she wouldn't want to go to the mountains of Dongjun to find food if she could.

At this time, Yu Wan just wanted to send these bear children away quickly, go home for dinner, and even urged with a threatening belt:

"You guys should have fun going up the mountain, huh?"

"There are fierce beasts out there! If you're not careful, you'll be easily snatched away!"

"Sister, I only dare to dig wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain, okay, it's noon, you all go home." ”

As he spoke, he summoned Rhubarb, took his brother's hand, and waved them home. Yu Chen was pulled by her and involuntarily followed her home.

When Da Lang heard Yu Wan's refusal, they all showed disdain:

Hmph, who are you scaring about! You're not back yet!

At noon, Da Lang also led his younger brother to say goodbye to Ah Li, and they all went home.

Just as everyone left, the old locust tree, which was originally standing quietly, swayed up without wind in the entire canopy, and in just a moment, it returned to its previous calm.

When Yu Wan and Yu Chen returned home, they smelled the smell of meat at home from afar, and trotted up happily, looking for it:

"Mother!

"We're back!"

"Wow!

"Do we have meat to eat today?

Looking for the taste and came to the square table in the main hall, Yu Chen's little meat hand was holding the edge of the table, on tiptoe, his eyes were shining, looking at a plate of fried chicken on the table that had been out of the pot for a long time, three bowls were full of gruel, Ling Niang was holding three pairs of chopsticks into the room, and said with a smile:

"You still know that when you come back, sit down and eat, and see that you are like a glutton, and you are hungry. ”

Yu Chen consciously climbed on the stool and sat down:

"A-Niang, where did this chicken come from, shouldn't it be a plate of Ah Hua at home? I haven't eaten meat for a long time, but it's so fragrant. ”

Ah Hua is the only big hen in the family, and the name of "Ah Hua" was also taken by Yu Chen when he saw the form.

Ling Niang listened to her youngest son's words, funny and distressed, and couldn't help but think of Father Yu, when there was Father Yu in the past, he could still eat a meal of meat from time to time, all of which Father Yu hunted from the mountain.

Since Yu's father left, Yu Jiang secretly sent it a few times to avoid suspicion, and Ling Niang still refused at first, but in order to support the child, Ling Niang still accepted, and always felt that Yu Jiang owed more and more favors.

Seeing Yu Chen like this, Ling Niang sandwiched another piece of chicken into Yu Chen's bowl:

"Eat more delicious, eat well to grow up, and then repay you Uncle Jiang when you grow up, you know? This chicken was hunted by your Uncle Jiang and brought back by your sister, so you can eat it." ”

Yu Chen ate chicken in his mouth, and said vaguely but firmly:

"I want to grow up, and when I grow up, I will be able to protect A-Niang and A-Sister, and I can also protect Uncle Jiang!"

Yu Wan couldn't help but laugh when she heard it:

"You, you're still a little bean, and you still want to protect Uncle Jiang? Uncle Jiang's hunting skills are very good, and Uncle Jiang doesn't need your protection. He giggled.

"Sister...... Hmph, ignore you!"

Seeing that his sister was ridiculing herself, she turned her head and ignored Yu Wan.

But the chicken in his left hand did not let go, and he gnawed on it fiercely to vent his anger, and threw the leftover chicken bones in his right hand to Rhubarb, and Rhubarb shook its big tail, and consciously harvested the meat and bones around the three of them.

Ling Niang was also amused by Yu Chen's appearance, seeing that the children were all by her side, and the family was happy, Ling Niang felt very content, but she thought of that incident again......

Ay...... She couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Lately, she has always been restless and always feels like something is going to happen?

I'm afraid that the incident is coming, and her inner worry is caused by it, right?

It's better to find a time and ask what you think?
