"Mom, look what you're talking about! Am I still young?"
"You're already twelve or thirteen years old, you should get married when you're fifteen, you're not too young!"
"Isn't it? Anyway, I'm still young~" The fourth year, the fifth year...Jiang Chen's bird's nest was repaired and kept under the eaves.
No other birds dared to live in it anymore, after all, they would definitely be driven out by Zug.
In the sixth year, Jiang Chen returned to this small village with the big army again. The little girl who used to be happy and danced has grown into a slim girl.
Even though she is still so cheerful, she has the shyness and timidity of some girls, and she is not as careless as before. At this time, the little girl's face is clean, and her round face looks very happy.
Recently, many matchmakers have come to their door, even from other villages, but when the matchmakers from other villages came, they also brought some other news.
"You've heard about it too! There are horse thieves coming out of the mountain over there in Qiao's Village, so we should be more careful here."
"However, if your daughter marries into the Li family, she will definitely enjoy a blessing. You must know that the Li family specially hired a guard."
"The Li family made it very clear at the time that they want a girl like yours, and they will be attractive when they look at them~ They will definitely be taken care of after they go, just like their own daughter."
The matchmaker was dressed in colorful clothes, her face was full of richness, her mouth painted with red rouge opened and closed, and any words could come out of her mouth like flowers.
In the woods, the chirping sound of birds is like music. This year, the migration time of birds is earlier, and it is difficult for human beings to notice if they do not pay careful attention.
After all, in the eyes of most villagers, it is normal for birds to fly around and call back and forth, just listen to it, why, if they fly away, they have to be called back.
Don't you have to come and go like this every year?Besides, that bird is different from chickens, ducks, fish and pigs. Basically, only rich people have the leisure to raise and play.
Even if it was used to eat, it still couldn't fill his stomach, but this time he didn't leave early with the big team, it wasn't because he was abandoned, or he didn't want to leave early.
That kind of intuition, the instinct of birds, he has what other birds have, he just stays quietly in the nest, looking down from time to time.
Seeing Father Chu coming out of the room, he would fly out and spin around twice, screaming a few times. "Chichi!"
"Father, why does Swallow say hello to you every time you come out!" Chu Ge said looking at Jiang Chen who was circling in the yard.
"Is there? I really haven't noticed it?"
Father Chu on the side was weeding the vegetable garden without raising his head and said, in fact, only Chu Ge cared so much about this swallow in the whole family.
For Father Chu, most animals can be hunted for food or sold for money, but the couple did not interfere too much with their daughter's little hobby.
Chapter 299 Big Swallow 'repays kindness'
Sometimes, I even help my daughter to see if the big swallow's nest is occupied by other birds, or if it will affect the bird's nest when it rains heavily.
"Yes, it will fly out as soon as you leave the backyard in the past few days. I have observed carefully, and it will fly out three times when you come out three times today."
In Zug's eyes, this was a greeting.
"There is such a thing?" Hearing what his daughter said, Father Chu was a little surprised. He pulled out the last bit of grass in the vegetable garden, and then raised his head from the ground.
Sure enough, the big swallow was flying in circles over the vegetable garden. You must know that animals are different from human beings, most of their behaviors are based on the instinct of survival.
For example, reproduction, nest building, and migration. Father Chu doesn’t know whether these animals have IQ, but there is no doubt that animals have their own advantages in certain survival instincts.
Thinking about the year-round hunting, he also found out the laws and habits of some animals. Suddenly, Father Chu looked at it for a while, and said suddenly.
"Gege, have you seen other swallows recently?" Chu Ge was slightly taken aback when he heard that, "Other swallows?" Chu Ge really didn't pay much attention to this point.
But after thinking about it, he ran to other places to have a look, and said: "The birds in the two nests under the eaves here are not in it."
"Okay, I got it!" Father Chu seemed to realize something, frowned and said, "Go back!" Chu Ge agreed, and the father and daughter walked into the room.
Father Chu looked out through the gap in the back door after a while, and found that the big swallow circled in the air again after he entered the house, and then returned to the nest.
In the evening, Father Chu and his wife talked about it.
You must know that the swallows have already migrated at this time, and he even went to the village and the back mountain to look at them today, and they have basically left.
Chu Niang was not very clear about these situations, so she hurriedly asked, "Is there any problem?" In her opinion, don't swallows migrate once a year?
But since the husband brought it up, he must have something to say. At this moment, the house was lit with a weak oil lamp, what was Chu Niang embroidering with a needle and thread by the light?
The daughter has reached the age to talk about marriage. As a mother, she naturally wants to prepare something for her. When she heard her husband's words, she temporarily stopped her hands and looked up.
I found Father Chu sitting by the bed, with a serious expression on his rough face.
"I don't know why? I always feel that something is not right. This is not the time for the migration in previous years, and the migration will start at least half a month away."
Chu Niang thought for a while, and said, "Could it be that the horse thief from Qiao's Village made trouble? So they all flew to other places?"
"Wait until I go out tomorrow to inquire about it. For the past two days, you and Gege should try to go out as little as possible."
"Well, good to know!" The conversation in the bedroom ended.
backyard.
In the bird's nest under the eaves, Jiang Chen tilted his head, changed his position, and fell asleep again. The next day, Father Chu went out to inquire, and came back at night, looking not very good.
At the same time, he also brought back two boys. 'The horse thief has robbed another village, and the yamen has already been dispatched! '
While dripping water for him, Chu Niang observed his expression and said, "Just take care of the yamen!"
"En." Father Chu nodded, took a few sips of water, although nothing happened, but he always felt a little uneasy in his heart, it was a bit strange that these horse thieves came.
As if it appeared suddenly, he had gone hunting with others on those hills, and he had never heard of any horse thieves.
If it happened in the past two years, it would be too ostentatious. The two of them had this conversation in the bedroom, and Chu Ge didn't know about it.
So as not to let the child worry about it, but they didn't expect that things would happen so quickly.
That night, Jiang Chen, who was resting in the bird's nest, suddenly woke up, and saw its head moving, its dark eyes were very focused, as if it was seriously discerning what?
After a while, it spread its wings, left the bird's nest, went directly into the cabin through the window, and began to cry "Chi Chi!" It was the middle of the night, when human beings entered deep sleep.
In his sleep, Father Chu vaguely heard clear birdsong and thumping sounds. Father Chu opened his eyes in the darkness, turned over, and blurted out, "Who?"
For a moment, those who didn't know thought that a thief had come in, but the next second, there was a bang sound, and something was swept to the ground in the darkness.
"Chichi" sounded again accompanied by the sound of flapping wings. At this moment, Chu Niang also woke up, and she subconsciously went to her husband's side to take the exam.
The other hand was quietly feeling for anything that could defend itself.
"Don't panic, it doesn't look like a person." Father Chu's vision gradually became clear, and under the faint moonlight, he could vaguely see a thumping shadow.
He got up, fumbled to light up the oil lamp, the room gradually lit up, and the couple could see what was going on, and soon a big swallow flew back and forth in the small room.
There were still two calls from time to time, and there were still some small objects that had been swept down on the ground. Seeing that the two woke up, Jiang Chen flew forward, grabbed Chu Niang's clothes and pulled them out.
He anxiously called Shengsheng again. "Chichi!"
"Is this the one in our backyard?" Chu Niang said.
Father Chu looked at the swallow's movements, and for some reason, he thought of a series of things that happened recently. He thought for a while and said, "Get up first! What should it want to tell us?"
As soon as the words fell, the swallow immediately let go of Chu Niang's clothes and flew outside.
Here, Jiang Chen came to another bedroom of the cabin, landed directly on Zug's face, let out a clear cry, and stepped on it a few times with his claws.
Simple and rude is also the fastest way to wake people up. Chu's father is Orion, and Chu's mother is also an adult, but Chu Ge is different. At least he shouldn't be half asleep and half awake, and slap him away.
"Chichi!" Jiang Chen yelled twice, and stepped on Chu Ge's face.
Chu Ge couldn't help shaking his head in his sleep, trying to get rid of the thing on his face, but unfortunately, shaking his head, he woke up, sat up, and looked at Jiang Chen dimly.
A little bit surprised and said: "Big Swallow?"
As soon as Jiang Chen heard a "chichi" sound, he grabbed the corner of Chu Ge's clothes and pulled it out.
"Where are you going?" Zug followed the strength of the swallow and just got up when there was a knock on the door.
"Ge Ge, get up quickly." Father Chu said.
Chu Ge put on a coat and left the bedroom: "Father, where does the big swallow seem to be taking me?" Finally waking up the three of them, Jiang Chen hurriedly flew out of the room.
Chapter 300 'I' want to leave
After flying for a few meters, he stopped and waited for the three of them. Father Chu brought some weapons at hand and said, "Let's follow up and see, maybe there is something wrong?"
Jiang Chen led the three of them to the forest behind the village. Father Chu also went this way for hunting on weekdays, so they wouldn't be in the dark.
"Father, do you think that the other half Yanzi likes is injured, or do you want us to help?" Zuge guessed, recalling the contents of the storybook.
It was mentioned in the scriptures that all spiritual animals are like this, leading humans to help. However, it wasn't long before the three of them walked into the woods.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of "Tata" coming from the entrance of the village, and the human voice and the sound of horseshoes were mixed together in an instant, and the fire could be seen faintly.
"A horse thief?"
"Hush, let's go!" The faces of the three of them changed drastically in an instant. Now, without Jiang Chen's urging, they had already quickened their pace and walked as far as possible on a remote route.
If it was really those horse thieves, even if they go back now, they will just die. At this moment, most people in the village are still asleep, and it is too late when they hear the sound and wake up in a daze.
It is impossible to escape, let alone organize it?Gradually sparks ignited the haystack, and the fire spread instantly, with the sound of iron clashing and the screams of the villagers.
Accompanied by the laughter of the thieves, they all gathered in the sky above the village. The three of the Chu family only looked back on the way, and saw the flames reflecting half of the sky.
Then he didn't dare to look back any more, just buried his head on the road, but after an unknown amount of time, the voices from the village gradually became smaller and finally fell silent.
At first, it was Jiang Chen who flew in front, but when he got to the back, it was Father Chu who led the way. If he was tired, Jiang Chen would directly land on Chu Ge's shoulders to rest for a while.
The three of them walked straight forward, turning and turning for an unknown distance, until a gleam of light appeared in the sky, and Father Chu stopped in his tracks.
"Okay, let's take a rest here after walking all night!"
The three of them found a place to sit down, but they didn't speak. Zug looked in the direction of the village and could see the smoke rising from a distance.
However, that was not cooking smoke. At this moment, Chu Ge looked a little like crying. She turned around and wanted to ask her parents what should they do in the future?But I saw that my parents were also looking in the direction of the village, their eyes were red.
The atmosphere was tense for a while, and the surroundings were also very quiet, as if a needle dropped on the ground could be clearly heard. Suddenly, Jiang Chen jumped from Zug's shoulder.
He flew to Chu Niang's side, pecking at the bundle in her hand, Chu Niang came back to her senses, checked the tears at the corners of her eyes, tugged at the corners of her mouth, and smiled with difficulty.
"Thank you for saving us." After finishing speaking, he opened the bag, which turned out to be some dried meat and some dry food. After copying the noodles, they went through various processing and finally dried to form rice crackers.
If you are hungry, you can take out a bite anytime.
"What do you want to eat?" Chu Niang said, she thought that the swallow wanted to eat something after smelling it, so she asked this question, but the swallow in front of her only barked at her and didn't eat the food inside thing.
Seeing this, Chu Niang was very puzzled. She hadn't dealt with Yanzi before, so she didn't know what it meant.
"Mother, is it telling us to eat?" Chu Ge guessed.
When Chu Niang heard this, she looked confused at first, then tentatively picked up the dried meat, and then saw Jiang Chen also yelled twice, then flew to the side, and began to look for food.
You must know that you must conserve your energy in the future. Seeing Jiang Chen's actions, Chu Niang's eyes showed surprise. Thinking about the past few years, this is the first time she has started to look at this swallow squarely.
It turned out that she had never seen spiritual animals, but she had never encountered one that could interact with humans in this way.
"This is a good swallow!" Father Chu came over, sighed and continued: "Eat something, or you won't have the strength later, and this place is not safe now."
Thinking about walking all night, yesterday's dinner has already been exhausted, no matter whether it is physical or mental strength, you have to keep up with it.
However, father Chu was also a little surprised at first about the burden in Mother Chu's hands. You must know what he always saw his wife busy with in the past few days?
But it never occurred to her that she was actually preparing this, so she couldn't help asking: "Why do you want to bring this?" Chu Niang said while sharing the food.
"After you went to inquire about the horse thief and came back, I saw that your face was not very good, so I prepared some, just in case, so that nothing really happened."
"Who knows, the incident happened suddenly tonight, and I felt uneasy, so I brought a bag of dry food, and the rest are still at home..." At this point, Chu Niang couldn't help but pause, and continued to say, " Where do we go next?"
At present, the village where Zug and his family are located originally belonged to the border of Zhaoguo and Xiguo, but in fact their location is a little closer to Xiguo.
Sometimes, if there is any trouble on their side, the people on the border of the country will also help. It was said that the people from the yamen would come to solve the matter of the horse thief, so it is naturally the yamen on the side of the country.
In the process of chewing the food, Father Chu decided on his future destination, and then said: "Let's go to the country of stinginess and see how the situation is there? Can we settle down?"
"Okay, listen to you!" Chu Niang nodded.
In fact, Chu Niang and Chu Ge didn't have much experience of traveling far, so they all listened to Chu's father's arrangements at such times. After eating, they took a short rest and started to walk to the country of misery.
The closest to here so far is the Youzhou of the Ning Country.
At this time, Jiang Chen had finished foraging, got up and flew onto Chu Ge's shoulder, and went on the road with them. Chu Ge rubbed Jiang Chen on his shoulder with his face and said, "Thank you, Swallow, thank you very much."
Afterwards, the three of the Chu family walked for another four or five days. After the dry food had been eaten, Father Chu tried to find a way to start hunting. He remembered that when he came out that night, he brought some self-defense equipment.
Moreover, even without these props, Father Chu can reach the prey with his many years of experience. Considering that when he first learned to hunt, he often lived in the mountains, so it is not difficult for him to make a fire and process food in the wild. .
Along the way, in order to avoid encountering horse thieves, they took small paths, but nothing special happened. The only time they encountered a wild boar in the woods.
The wild boar's teeth were exposed, it was long and sharp, and its body was fat. Even Chu's father finally arrived at the gate of Youzhou city in the country of stinginess without any preparation.
There were many people coming in and out at the gate of the city, and some carriages passed by. They were about to enter the city to see if they could settle down, but just when the Chu family was about to enter the city.
