Chapter 538: Little Stone (Page 1/1)

Early in the morning, the sky was just dawning.

Outside Qingyang Mountain, in a remote mountain village, a child about 10 years old is sitting outside several thatched huts and playing.

He sometimes used a branch to flick the crawling ants on the ground, sometimes chased butterflies, and sometimes caught grasshoppers in the grass, and had a lot of fun.

And just as he was having fun, a middle-aged strong man came out of the hut in the middle, came to the child, and said to him, "Little stone, Dad will go to work in the fields in a while, and you will go to the back of the village to help Dad herd the cows, okay?"

The boy named Little Stone immediately gave up chasing the butterflies, obediently came to the strong man, patted his little chest and said, "Okay, Daddy, Little Stone will definitely feed the cows to their heart's content." ”

The strong man lovingly pinched the little stone's face, and said with a smile: "You are a boy, you must remember that the man's promise must be fulfilled, otherwise if the cow is not fed well, then the father will beat the fart when he comes back." ”

Xiao Shi immediately puffed up his small chest, pretended to be a man, and said solemnly: "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely feed the cows, this is a man's promise!"

The strong man patted the little stone on the head and said with a smile: "This is what you said, this is a man's promise." So saying, he went to the cowshed with the little stone, untied the reins of the ox, handed it to the little stone, and then instructed: "The mountain is very dangerous, don't go into the mountain when you are grazing the cattle, just graze the cattle outside the mountain, remember?"

Xiao Shi nodded solemnly and said, "Remember, I will definitely not go to the mountains, this is also a man's promise." ”

When the strong man saw that the boy had promised well, he left the house with a hoe. After saying something to his mother, the little stone mounted his ox and walked slowly towards the back of the village.

After walking for half an hour, a man and a cow came to the outside of Qingyang Mountain, and the small stone left the cow in a place where the water and grass were more abundant to graze, and he was watching it seriously.

The sun was gradually rising, the weather was slowly getting hotter, and the cries of crickets could be heard in the surrounding grass.

Xiaoshi looked at the cows grazing not far away, and then at the grass where the crickets kept crowing, and after a moment's hesitation, he cautiously walked to the grass and began to pick up the crickets inside.

The crickets jumped up and down in the grass, so that he couldn't catch them. I don't know how long it took for him to finally catch the first cricket, and jumped up with joy, just like the cricket in his hand.

After the excitement, he looked up at the sky and saw that the sun had gone into the sky, and there was a gurgling sound in his stomach, which made him realize that it was time for lunch.

So he prepared to take the cow home for dinner, but he looked around several times, but he didn't see any sign of the cow.

He couldn't help but start to get anxious, this cow is the most important property of the family, and most of the work in the field depends on it, if he loses it, he will definitely be killed by his father and mother.

Thinking of that serious consequence, he burst into tears. It's just that, after crying for a while, he felt that it was useless to cry, and he had to find the cow first.

So he stopped crying, wiped away his tears, and began to look around, but after looking around, he still did not find the cow.

He couldn't help but think in his little heart, since he couldn't find the cow anywhere, would the cow run into the mountain, so he couldn't find it.

It's just that his father said never to enter the mountain, and his heart suddenly hesitated a little.

Just thinking of the consequences of losing the cow and the promise of the man he had told his father at that time, he immediately put his father's warning behind him, and walked towards the mountain step by step.

"Niu'er, where are you?" he shouted as he walked, passing through the big trees, over the bushes, and gradually into the Qingyang Mountain.

However, the cow was never nowhere to be seen, and he became more and more anxious. At the same time, his stomach was getting hungrier and hungrier, and he protested in bursts of protest.

"The cow was really lost. He couldn't help but be a little depressed, "Let's go back first, let Daddy come and find it, Daddy will definitely be able to find it, it's a big deal to be beaten by Daddy when the time comes." ”

Thinking of this, he finally decided to go back, but just turned around and looked around, and then he was dumbfounded.

"Where is this?"

He had been looking for cattle and had gone deep into the mountains, so much so that he was now completely lost.

"Dad, mother!" couldn't find the way back, which made his little heart suddenly frightened, and he began to shout for help, hoping that his father and mother could hear and come here to find him.

It's just that after shouting for a long time, his voice is a little hoarse, but no one responds. As a last resort, he could only suppress his crying, and then chose a direction that he thought was home, and walked forward step by step.

The little figure walked through the mountains, from noon to evening, still not out of the mountains and forests, and did not find the way home.

As the night gradually came, the mountains and forests became a little terrifying, and any wind and grass around him could startle him. Timid, he could only find a bush and hide in, so as not to encounter wolves, tigers and leopards and become their mouths.

After walking for most of the day, he was very tired and sleepy, and under the mixture of hunger and exhaustion, he soon fell asleep in the bushes.

When he woke up and opened his eyes, he found that it was already dark, and a little sunlight was scattered through the cracks in the trees.

"Gurgling......" his stomach screamed again, and the hungry little stone could only start looking around for anything to eat.

After a long turn, he finally found some fruit and devoured it.

After eating, he continued to walk in the direction he had decided.

Days had passed in the blink of an eye, and he had come to a valley.

These days, he can only eat some fruits every day to satisfy his hunger, drink some mountain springs to quench his thirst, a pair of straw sandals have worn out, and the soles of his feet are also painful.

However, he still couldn't find his way home.

Looking at the increasingly unfamiliar mountains and forests, and listening to the cries of birds and beasts from time to time in the mountains, he became more and more frightened, and he became more and more frightened.

"I can't find my way home, I'm bound to be eaten by the beasts of the mountains. ”

Just as he was crying in a low voice of fear, his eyes suddenly found something, and he immediately stopped crying.

Not far ahead, among the dense trees, there seemed to be a little bit of wall eaves exposed.

"Found a home. He cheered, and ran toward it.
