Chapter 55: The Morning of Miao Village
The first birdsong of the morning penetrated Mo Yan's ears. But what really sobered him up was the frolicking of Xiao Taoyao and Wumei in bed. When he opened his eyes, the faint morning light had whitened the window.
The wood in the stove was about to burn to ashes, and only a faint glow remained. The three people on the ground were still sleeping deeply, and their snorts could be heard. Of course, the woodcutter and the bandit leader were set to sleep, and if they were not relieved, they would have to sleep for twelve hours before they would wake up naturally.
Mo Yan slapped their acupuncture points open in the air, and woke up the dark clouds again.
Xiao Tao Yao pestered Wumei to comb her hair, and her mother was busy adding firewood to the stove. The woodcutter got up from the ground yawning, and said that he had drunk too much and slept deeply, and that the bandit leader was also a master, and he knew a little about his still drowsy head. The dark clouds are awake, but they can't open their eyes, and the fat people are more sleepy.
Wumei cleaned up by herself, brought water to wash Mo Yan's face and brush her teeth. Xiao Tao Yao tilted his head to watch Mo Yan brush his teeth, and asked curiously, "Sister, what did the big brother put in his mouth?"
"That's a toothbrush, don't you have it here? My sister will buy one for you later, okay? Use it every day to brush it, and your teeth will be white and bright." Ume explained to her. In the prosperous area of the south of the Yangtze River, toothbrushes have become a daily necessity, while Guizhou belongs to the remote mountainous areas, where are these novelties?
"Yes, yes! I want my teeth to be white and shiny. Xiao Tao Yao was so happy that he jumped while talking
Wumei waited for Mo Yan to finish washing, and then helped him tie his hair high to the top of his head. Mo Yan's facial features are deep, his face is sharply outlined, and his hair is tied up, which makes him even more heroic.
"Big brother is also very good-looking. Xiao Tao Yao looked at Mo Yan with a pair of bright eyes, and then looked at Wu Mei, "You two are very good-looking." Tong Yan was unscrupulous, Mo Yan was laughed by him, and Wumei naturally blushed again.
There was a boy about six or seven years old in the neighbor's house who came running to the door, and the houses here were quite compact, and the children were often running around to play. Seeing that Tao Yao was holding the golden hairpin that Wumei gave her, she snatched it up, "What is this?"
Xiao Tao was in a hurry, chasing after him, "Give me back!" But the little boy was already naughty and mischievous, and the golden hairpin was exquisitely abnormal, so he didn't want to pay it back, so he provoked while running, "Come on, come on, come and get it if you have the ability!"
"Mother! Her mother was busy feeding the pigs, but she replied, "He will pay you back if he plays." "Adults generally don't care about this kind of thing when children are fighting.
Xiao Tao chased for a while, but he couldn't catch up, so he cried anxiously.
"Come here!" Mo Yan said to Xiao Taoyao.
Xiao Tao Yao came to Mo Yan with a sob.
Mo Yan wiped away her tears, "Don't cry! My brother taught you a way to keep him from running away." Then tell her that if the tiger runs in this direction, his left foot should step in this direction, his right foot should step in that direction, his right hand should point to his place, and his left hand should grab something, and if he runs that way, what should he do, etc.
After saying that, Xiao Tao Yao demonstrated, and Mo Yan corrected her again, saying, "Now you can go and get your things back." ”
Huzi stood next to him curiously and watched Mo Yan teach Tao Yao, and now seeing that she had learned the method to grab something, she turned around and ran, but just ran two steps, Xiao Tao Yao followed Mo Yan's footwork to teach her, and she rushed to him in front of him in three steps and two steps, and stretched out her right index finger to poke under his left ribs. Huzi couldn't help laughing, and Xiao Taoyao reached out to grab the golden hairpin. Huzi hurriedly suppressed his laughter and raised his hand high, Xiao Taoyao was too short to reach.
"Young, you didn't poke him hard enough, use some force this time. Mo Yan pointed out.
Huzi saw that he was almost snatched by Tao Yao, and thought: This method taught by this person really works, I still ran to a spacious place outside the house, and she couldn't catch up.
Just ran a few steps and was blocked at the door by Tao Yao, who arrived first, stretched out his right index finger and poked it under his left ribs, this time Huzi couldn't help but laugh and bent over, Xiao Tao Yao took the opportunity to snatch the golden hairpin.
"Got it! Got it! Dad, the big brother's method really worked. Little Tao Yao happily ran up to her father and jumped and jumped.
"Big brother is a very powerful person, and the methods he teaches are of course very effective. The woodcutter said to his daughter, "It's a pity that the eldest brother is leaving, otherwise please teach you more methods, and ...... later." The woodcutter seemed to want to say something, but he stopped talking.
Mo Yan smiled slightly: "Teasing children, don't take it seriously." ”
The woodcutter said no more.
The clouds and the bandit leader have packed up and it's time to leave, and everyone says goodbye to the woodcutter's family.
"I sent you out of the village, I came late last night, I'm afraid you didn't see how to go, our stockade, house to house, road to road, people who are not familiar with it can't go out for half a day, and they are still in the village. The woodcutter said.
"Don't bother Brother Tao, let's just go by ourselves, I remember how to go. Mo Yan said.
"Do you remember how to walk?" the woodcutter's voice was full of surprise, "so many twists and turns, so many twists and turns, how can you remember?"
"When you first arrive in an unfamiliar place, if you can't see clearly, you should try to write down the things around you as carefully as possible. There are indeed many roads in this village, but they are not complicated, and they are easy to remember!" Mo Yan said with a smile.
"Since Childe is so powerful, how many steps does the ladder outside my house have?"
"There are thirteen ladders outside your house, five steps to the south and eight steps to the north. The third family on the left in the fifth row below your house calls you Uncle Tao, but the first family on the right calls you 'Brother Tao', I don't know if I'm right or not?"
The woodcutter pondered for a moment, "Indeed!
"And last night's drinking, you had to drink half a bowl of soup before every drink. In the middle of the process, you get up and go out to relieve yourself three times, and you excrete the wine you drank through the small solution. In the end, they are really drunk, but Brother Tao you are pretending to be drunk. Mo Yan continued.
The woodcutter looked embarrassed, and You Ziqiang argued: "I'm really drunk and unconscious, you all saw it." He knew that he was in a coma by Mo Yan, and he was still pretending to be confused.
Mo Yan smiled and didn't answer, but said, "In short, thank you for your hospitality." ”
"Childe is a master, naturally everything can't be hidden from Childe's eyes, but we have our unspeakable secrets, and we really don't dare to be careless, but we have absolutely no malice. At some point, the woman stood up and said.
"I know this! Your husband wants to get them drunk, and when you take the wine again, I signal you not to take it, but you still don't take it. ”
"I'm ashamed! I'm not as upright as Childe thought, I just thought: What's the use of getting them drunk? Childe is the most powerful master, if Childe has any evil thoughts, our family can't escape. The woman said.
"So when you're adding firewood, hesitant to put the thing you're holding in the stove. Mo Yan said.
"You found out too, I see you have your eyes closed!" the woman exclaimed.
"Now can you tell me what you're going to put in the fire?" Mo Yan asked without answering.
"It's ecstasy, but I don't want to hurt anyone, I just want you to sleep too. ”
Mo Yan nodded and said, "Fortunately, you didn't do that, when I can't be sure what you are holding in your hand, how much harm there is, you can only strike first to protect yourself." At that time, I already had a throwing knife in my hand. ”
In many things, the good and bad results lie in the original thought.
"Now that the words have been said, we should leave it at that, and we should be on our way. Dark clouds said.
This time, the bandit leader took the initiative to come over and bend down and pick up the ink words.
Don't go past the woodcutter's family, along the way, Mo Yan kept instructing, "Go down ten steps and then to the left", "Go eight steps to the right and go down", "All the way down"......
Everyone admired Mo Yan so much.
Looking at this cottage during the day, I feel that it is magnificent, and it occupies most of the mountain, which is no less than a town in the south of the Yangtze River, but the traffic is inconvenient.
When everyone finally climbed onto the road, they were dumbfounded: where was the shadow of the car on the side of the road? Only a little wood residue left by others when they unloaded the car remained on the ground.
