Chapter 6: Childhood Fun Stories
Although Dumb is called Dumb, he is not stupid at all.
He knew in his heart that if he insisted that he saw the white-bearded old man, his mother would let the third uncle pour water on him and whip him.
So, Dumb cleverly chose to say that he didn't know.
Dumb was also a little glad in his heart, fortunately he told his family at the beginning.
If it were someone else, would he use a knife to cut him?
Dumb felt a little cold in his neck, shivered all over, and was a little scared in his heart.
Dumb suddenly remembered the words of the white-bearded old man, and no one could say anything about him.
"The old man with the white beard is so smart, he must have thought that he was too stupid. ”
Dumb rubbed his buttocks, a hot pain, he must remember this lesson, and what Whitebeard said, he must not forget.
"But what else did the old man with the white beard say?"
"No, it should be a peep into the sky, and then look?"
"But what do you think?"
Dumb thought about it, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth pulled down hard, staring the two eyes like bull's eyes.
"Is that what you see?"
Dumb stared with big eyes, took small steps, looked east and west, and finally walked to the cowshed and met his old cattle.
The fourth daughter-in-law, who was taking the soles of her shoes at the gate of the courtyard, saw Dumb's strange appearance, and couldn't help but say, "Second sister-in-law, why does Dumb keep staring?
When Xue Mu heard this, she also frowned and looked at Dumb.
Dumb on the side trembled when he heard this, and he suddenly thought of irrigating water and whipping.
He didn't want to be evil anymore, his big eyes turned, he was in a hurry, touched the head of the old cow, turned back to Xue Mu and said, "Mother, do you think my eyes are bigger than the cow?"
Seeing this, the fourth daughter-in-law smiled, "It turns out that the child is playful, not evil." ”
Xue Mu frowned, and scolded with a smile, "Your big." ”
Dumb clapped his little hands and shouted excitedly, but he thought to himself, "When I practice watching by myself in the future, I have to find a place where no one is around." ”
"I want to ride a horse and a horse, ride a horse and ......" At this time, Dumb's little sister ran over, pulled Dumb's trouser leg, and looked at Dumb expectantly with a pair of big shining eyes.
Dumb grinned and fell to the ground.
The little girl got up happily, skillfully grabbed Dumb's placket, and shouted crisply, "Brother, run." ”
Dumb propped himself up on all fours and got up on the ground.
The little girl pointed to a stake stool in front of her and looked excitedly, "Brother, hurry up, hurry up, let's overtake the horse in front." ”
"Okay, old girl, sit tight. ”
Dumb exerted strength on all fours, quickly got up, and Xue Xiaoyingle on his back was singing loudly.
The fourth daughter-in-law smiled mildly when she saw it, "Their brother and sister have a really good relationship, second sister-in-law, you are really blessed." ”
Her own child was praised by others, and the somewhat vain Xue Mu had a smug look on her face, but she said modestly, "Don't mention these two cubs, it's not worrying at all." ”
Xue Mu said and yelled at Dumb, "I don't know if it's dirty, if you crawl on the ground again, I'll hit the butts of the two of you." ”
Dumb suddenly stopped when he heard this, put down Xue Xiaoying, picked up a small pickaxe that was less than Dumb's knee and pulled Xue Xiaoying to run into the distance.
This little pickaxe was begged by Dumb, and Xue's father specially asked a blacksmith in the town to beat him, but now it belongs to Xue Xiaoying.
"Stinky boy, don't take your sister too far. Mother Xue yelled at the dumb Xue Xiaoying, but her face was full of smiles.
Marrying into the Xue family, what she is most satisfied with is that she gave birth to this son and a daughter.
His pair of sons and daughters made the entire Qingniu Village envious.
Dumb pulled his sister to trot for a while and stopped, panting for breath while looking at the beautiful scenery of Qingniu Village.
Qingniu Village is backed by a big mountain, because it resembles an old cow, there are many pines and cypresses on the mountain, and it is lush and green all the year round, so the people of ten miles and eight towns have given this mountain a name, Qingniu Mountain.
And the small village that lives at the foot of the mountain naturally becomes Qingniu Village.
At this time, it is spring, the grass and trees on the mountain are lush, the wild flowers are splendid, the fragrance of flowers is pervasive, and it is beautiful, and some girls in the village like to play on the mountain.
Some will pick some wild flowers, and some will dig some wild vegetables, such as mother-in-law and brain melon, which can be dipped in sauce and eaten as vegetables.
Most of the boys like to go to the big river in front of Qingniu Village to play near Yishui, swimming in the river and catching fish.
There are a lot of fish in the Yishui River, and the older children say that they can catch a few in one basket.
Dumb fished it a few days ago, but he didn't catch any of it.
Maybe it's because the basket is too small.
As early as a year ago, Dumb liked to listen to Xue's mother cook and watch Xue's father weave baskets and bamboo baskets.
After watching it a few times, Dumb learned to make a fire and learn to weave bamboo baskets.
You know, even if an adult watches it a few times, it may not be able to learn, and Dumb Niang can't make it up.
But Dumb tried a few times and made it up, so Xue Mu always felt that Dumb was smart, and tried every means to let Dumb go to the Immortal Academy.
Dumb pulled the little girl and gasped a few times, the two looked at each other, and suddenly they both giggled, and then ran towards Yishui quickly.
There are many tall trees, weeds and wildflowers on both sides of the Yishui, and Dumb saw that the little pickaxe gave it to the little girl, and asked the little girl to dig her mother-in-law on the ground.
The little girl listened to her brother very much, grabbed the pickaxe with her two little hands, and looked down seriously.
When I saw a mother-in-law, I used a small pickaxe to dig it down little by little.
Dig one down, shake the soil, and then put it in your pocket, and then look up again to see if my brother is still there.
When she saw her brother's figure, the little girl opened her eyes wide again and continued to look for it seriously.
Dumb ran to the river and picked up in the grass.
When he saw a rope, a smile appeared on his lips.
Immediately grasp the rope and start pulling up.
Dumb is only five years old, and his strength is not very strong, and it seems very difficult to pull the rope, but the rope is still pulled up section by section.
It didn't take long for the rope to come to an end, and a wet, knee-high, bowl-thick bamboo basket was pulled up.
fluttering, fluttering......
Two fish jumped out of the bamboo basket, Dumb hurriedly grabbed them, and with a slip of his hand, the fish fell into the water and escaped.
Dumb touched his face, looked at the bamboo basket, and thought to himself, should I make this mouth smaller.
Dumb hugged the bamboo basket and looked inside.
The bamboo basket was filled with long, black loaches, the largest of which was long and the thickness of a thumb.
There is also a palm-sized tarpon with a white surface.
There are also a few prawns, and crabs.
A happy smile appeared on Dumb's face.
Although he couldn't scoop the fish in the basket, he thought of a good solution.
I secretly hid a little cake when I ate last night, and threw it into the bamboo basket after that, and I came to fish it today, but I didn't expect to catch so many good things.
"Old sister, old sister, come here, come here, look at the good things my brother caught. Dumb shouted excitedly.
