Fields of Gold

Chapter 136 Night Return

Yuan Sinian's eyes lit up, "This name is much more elegant than a saltwater duck! Why don't you just call me Guihua Duck? Around mid-autumn this year, my husband came back to taste Yu Girl's craft. That's the deal! ”

Yu Xiaoxue can't laugh, Dean, which one of you has agreed? Alas, I blame myself for talking so much and causing a “debt”!

When the three brothers came out of the Zhenzheng Tower, the sun was already westerly, Wednesday few were not very relieved: “It's late, we have to go back to Dongshan Village to pass a mountain road. Why don't we just rest in town for one night and go back tomorrow! ”

Yu Xiaoxue categorically refused. Her thirteen filial fathers, if they don't see their sons and daughters back tonight, don't know how much to worry about. Alas! Ancient times were bad, it was too inconvenient to connect. If you had a cell phone, dial a past and everything was taken care of.

Zhou Zixu saw that she had decided to go. She busily brought the horses from the stables and had to send them back. In his opinion, the three younger brothers were younger than 10 years old, and if there was an accident or something along the way, the three children should not be called out every day. He's not relieved!

He doesn't even look at himself, he's only 13 or 14 years old. Is there anything he can do to help? But his heart is moving.

Yu Xiaoxue made several excuses, but was no match for Wednesday's lack of determination. Therefore, a donkey car accompanied by a little red horse, in the sky red and xia quickly drove to the distance, the scissors were so harmonious, as if writing a painting of the landscape...

Little Grey's body was transformed by the spirit stone water at no less speed than the little red horse under Wednesday's crotch. I'm afraid the grass would have gone faster had it not been for the grass to spit out.

Wednesday, less look at the little grass, slightly impatient: “The rubber wheels have been booked for you and are expected to be available next month. You won't feel so bad going away. ”

“Thanks three less!” Yu Xiaograss's face is white, her lips seem to have lost their original color, she is so sad and still thinking about watermelon seeds, “Third Major, did you have any eyebrows about the last time you asked Little Togo to send you a letter to help you find watermelon seeds? ”

Zhou Zixu nodded slowly: “I saw it last time at a seed shop in the capital city, someone has already bought it. Don't worry, when did I delay you? When the seeds arrive, I'll have Takumi bring them to you! ”

By this time, the sky has darkened. The horses also enter a rugged mountain road, on the side of a curved trail, from tall trees and how tall a person is, hidden noises of night birds, in the quiet and dark mountain forests, appear so awesome and creepy.

Yu Jia's old house is at the foot of Xishan. I haven't heard any birding, but I don't feel anything. Wednesdays are different. When does he show up in the mountains at night? Obviously a little nervous about the nightbird grunting.

“Don't be afraid, it's an owl scream! Owls are beneficial birds and can catch rats!” Yu Xiaolian smiled patiently, comforting Wednesday and laughing in his heart.

Zhou Zixu regretted not carrying a weapon in his hand. If he brought the bows and arrows he practiced every day, he wouldn't be afraid. He looked at the shadows of the dark trees surrounding him, and the furry tunnel in his heart said: "Is there a wolf in this mountain? ”

“Wolf? However, the beasts are generally in the deep mountains, and only when no food is found in the year of disaster will they descend on the villagers. This road is pedestrianized every day, and there shouldn't be wolves or anything.” Yu Xiaograss consoled. After all, he is a 13-year-old child, but he is still a young master who is accustomed to being raised with honor. He is not afraid or ashamed of himself.

“Ahead… what is the light? I heard that the wolf's eyes glowed at night, didn't they...” Zhou Zixu swallowed his mouth and spit, holding the wrist of the reindeer, slightly sweating. He looked around to see if he could find a stick or something to protect his three brothers.

Little rock chuckled and said, "Brother Zhou, have you seen a wolf with glowing eyes? Wouldn't that be a one-eyed wolf? Besides, the wolf's eyes were blue and green at night, and in front of it was dusk, obviously the lights of the night walkers. ”

“Strange, in the middle of the night, who walks the night with a lantern?” Yu Xiaograss spoke for himself.

As the donkey car moves smoothly, the dusk lights get closer and closer. The person carrying the lantern seemed to hear horseshoes and cars roaring, screaming with hesitation: "Is it the weed? ”

“Daddy, it's Daddy's voice!!” The little rock shook up and shouted joyfully.

“Dad! It's us!!” Xiao Lian seemed to have the main bone, shouting out loud at the light.

Soon, the donkey truck came to the lights, and Yuhai saw a white paper paste wind lamp, standing on the side of the road for a long breath, as if he had gone to a heart accident.

“Dad, what are you doing here?” Yu Xiaowei gave way to the side and waited for Yuhai to jump on the donkey cart before asking.

Yu Hai glanced at the three brothers and said: "Why am I here?! Look what time it is. The moon is hanging high on the treetops. You're not home yet. Can't you and your mother be in a hurry? I think you guys are out of your minds in town. Forget about coming home! ”

Zhou Zixu quickly explained for the three brothers: “Uncle Yu, it's not me! Little Grass taught Chef Wang to be a duck of laurel, which delayed the time, so he came back late. If you blame me, blame me! ”

Yu Hai had just been filled with the three brothers. Afraid of what had happened, it was only then that he realized that Wednesday the three younger brothers had been sent back. He was so thankful: “We're running out of trouble. It's getting late. Go back! ”

Wednesday, when I saw less, I couldn't reach out to the five-finger road, and I promised, but I didn't want to turn back. Little Grass said to his father: “Father, it's still a little more than an hour before the Third Major returns. The night breeze is high, which makes people uncomfortable. Isn't this coming to our house soon? Why don't you let him sleep at our house and go straight to the pier from our house tomorrow, even closer! ”

Yuhai saw Zhou Jia Wednesday and didn't have to be a parent and son. He was also a half child. If you go back like this, it's really uncomfortable, so say to Sanxiao: “Sanxiao, if you don't mind, rest at my house for one night. How's it going?”

“Thanks Uncle Yu, then I'm sorry to bother you!” Zhou Zixu smiled with gratitude at the grass. Little Grass was kind enough to understand her intentions, and this was just in his arms.

After this mountain road, you can see the tree at the entrance of Dongshan Village. A dark shadow wanders beneath the tree. Needless to say, that familiar figure is precisely the Liu family worried about their children.

Liu Shi saw little Wednesday and didn't say much. He just said with interest: “Come back early in the future. Your father and I are waiting for you. How anxious! ”

Yu Xiaograss jumped off the carriage and held Liu's hand. “Don't worry, Mother, it won't happen again! ”

When I got home, the hot water had been burned on the stove, Wednesday the little brother and the weed washed up, and my feet were burned with hot water, all warm and baked.

At night, Wednesday, Yuhai and Yuhang's father and son slept on the kang in the main house. Liu's family lived in the east room with Xiaolian, Xiao Wei and Xiao Rong. Little Rock protests: "Mother, I am also a man, I want to sleep with my father and brother in a kang! ”

“Men and women are seven years old. You're only six years old. What do you care? Go to sleep!!” Yu Xiaograss, despite the protest of the small stone, took off his coat and shoved him into his duvet. Little stones screamed and fought, but were suppressed by several women in the family.

Less Wednesday next door, lying on a warm, baked kang, measuring everything in the house with a dull oil lamp. The house, though renovated, still looks old. However, the house is simple and tidy.

The walls on the edge of the kang were about to peel off, and a layer of wallpaper was pasted. The mattress cotton underneath is hardened but the slurry is washed clean. The quilt on the body should be new, soft and loose, with a clear scent of soap horns...

Zhou Zixu thought he would be unable to sleep in a different environment. Unexpectedly, his upper and lower eyelids began to fight. In the hazy space, he heard the snoring of the proud people around him. He didn't feel noisy and slept more comfortably.

He has lacked a father's role in his life since birth. If he had a father in his life, would he love him in his bones, like Grass's father, and have a snoring voice accompanying him to sleep?

Zhou Zixu woke up in the bird's singing. For a moment, he seemed to forget where he was. He was somewhat confused and stunned.

“Pfft -” The girl's laughter woke him up suddenly.

He looked up and saw the rest of the grass grinning, some shrinking into the quilt in panic.

“Hiding from what? You're not naked... Oops! Mother, why did you hit me?” Yu Xiao Xiaole was extremely sad, with his head covered and his mouth shut and his face grieved.

Liu Shi hated iron and steel, pointing at her head and reprimanding her: "Look at you! Is that what girls are supposed to say? I'm not afraid of three jokes! Let's see, you better stop running and learn the rules. ”

“Mother, Wednesday is not an outsider. Isn't this a little joke?” Why the fuss, Yu Xiaograss blinked innocent eyes, spared no effort to sell adorable.

Zhou Zixu spoke for her: “Auntie, Little Grass is still young. Besides, when the Emperor proposed to improve the status of women, there was a women's school in the capital. It is no longer advocated that women's doors remain open. ”

“Can girls go to school too? After a while, send Little Grass and Little Lotus to study. Our Little Grass is smart, maybe we can take a female exam to come back!” Yuhai smiled and looked proud.

Liu Shi glanced at him: “You, what's the fuss? Third Major is talking about the capital city, we Tang Gu this little place, there is no girls' school? Girls' houses can read just a few words. What are you studying? ”
