Farmer's Rabbit

White smoke like clouds and mist rose from the yard of Chang Sheng's house. The two men who were walking towards this side looked at each other, and the man whose face was covered with pockmarks was puzzled: "Such a big smoke, like It floated out from everyone, what is this doing?"

Another young man with oily hair and pink face and wretched eyebrows and eyes said with a smile: "Go and have a look and you'll know!"

In the yard, Chang Sheng strung up the salt-marinated wild pork that had been fried with pepper star anise and hung it on a bamboo pole.Use dry grass and firewood to ignite the cypress branches under the bamboo poles, and suddenly puffs of white smoke with the aroma of grass and trees emerge from the green cypress branches.

Seeing these wild boar meat, Bai Tu Turing had an idea, and deliberately blinked his big eyes to look at Chang Sheng: "There is so much meat! What kind of meat is this?"

"Wild boar."

"Wild boar?" Bai Tutu's eyes widened in shock, "This, is this the wild boar you killed?"

Chang Sheng looked at him silently, Bai Tutu didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said to himself, "Chang Sheng, you are so good! This wild boar is hard to beat, especially this wild boar is tall and strong, and very vicious!"

Speaking of this, Bai Tutu paused, and said in a puzzled and worried tone: "I have heard that this powerful wild boar can eat people, and any wild boar that has been stained with human blood has become a monster." Yes, these wild boar demons usually live in the deep mountains, surrounded by groups of wild boars, ordinary people can't deal with them at all. Chang Sheng, if you go hunting in the mountains, be careful!"

Chang Sheng's indifferent expression suddenly became serious.

Bai Tutu saw that he listened in, and said, "But don't worry too much. Generally, there are many animals in the deep mountains with strong aura that become spirits and monsters. Each powerful spirit monster has its own territory, and checks and balances each other. As long as you don't cross the boundary, don't do anything." Offend their taboos, the monsters inside will not come out to harm people easily!"

The young man had a naive look on his face, as if he really just said those words casually.Chang Sheng suddenly remembered that the little rabbit ran out of the house sad and wronged because he was blamed by himself for not returning home at night.

What if the little thing ran out at night not to play but to inquire about him?

Did I blame him wrongly?

"How do I do this?" Bai Tutu squatted down, watching him light the fire with interest, "I'll help you!"

Chang Sheng frowned, and moved a low stool over for him: "Don't let the fire below go out, just cover it with cypress branches to smolder and smoke out."

"It's easy!"

"I'll go over there, call me if you need something."

"it is good."

……

Da Hua, who just woke up from her afternoon nap, came out of the house lazily. When she saw the billowing white smoke, her eyes lit up and she ran over immediately.

"Meow!"

Bai Tutu was watching the fire, when a big tabby cat passed through the white smoke and pounced on him.

Bai Tutu was startled, and quickly caught it. "You naughty bastard, be careful to smoke you out!"

"Meow!" Dahua broke free and jumped down, ran to the side and stared at the fluttering white smoke, wagging her tail.

Seeing that it was eager to try, Bai Tutu hurriedly said: "Don't make trouble! This smoke will really choke you!"

But before he finished speaking, Dahua took two steps back and suddenly rushed forward, once again passing through the white smoke perfectly!

Bai Tutu: "..."

"Da Hua, don't mess around!" Chang Sheng, who was building a stable across the way, shouted coldly.

"Meow..." After being reprimanded, Dahua yelled embarrassingly, and ran to Bai Tutu's side.

Patting its head, Bai Tutu said: "Look, Chang Sheng scolded you."

Dahua rubbed against his hand, her yellow cat eyes were full of innocence.

"You!" Bai Tutu nodded his forehead and said with a smile, "Let's smoke the meat!"

"Meow?"

"Chang Sheng said that by smoking this wild boar meat for an hour every day, you can make delicious bacon!" Bai Tutu couldn't help but look forward to the plate of crispy and delicious fried pork with bamboo shoots after lunch.

Chang Sheng said that frying bacon and bamboo shoots together is delicious, so no matter what, he must smoke the wild pork!

Dahua looked up at the wild boar hanging on the bamboo pole, her eyes shining brightly.

"You can't eat it now. Chang Sheng said that you have to smoke it for half a month until the surface turns red and shiny." Bai Tutu took a wooden stick and turned over the cypress branch, and added some dry firewood to the fire. It was Geng Wang who covered the cypress branches back.

The more the dry firewood below burned, the more smoke the cypress branches suffocated, and the smoke billowed for a while.Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the white smoke turned around and drifted out of the yard.

The courtyard wall was made of stone and mud, and part of it collapsed due to disrepair. Chang Sheng cleared out the gravel, rebuilt the fence to fill the gap, and transplanted many wild roses under the fence.The briar roses are growing well, and clusters are popping out in clusters, and the green branches and leaves are swaying in the spring breeze with pink buds wrapped in them.

This time, the thick smoke drifted past, covering the fence roses in a hazy way, and it looked a bit fairy-like.Bai Tutu's eyes drifted along the smoke, and he didn't appreciate the hazy beauty of looking at flowers in the fog, and was even disgusted.

He found a pair of eyes, no, two pairs of eyes!

Those two pairs of eyes stared straight at him, and those eyes were naked and undisguised!

With thin eyebrows furrowed, Bai Tutu put down the fire stick in his hand, and picked up Da Hua.

Gently stroking Dahua's back, Bai Tutu whispered in its ear, "There are two people hiding outside the fence over there, Dahua, help me scare them! I'll grill fish for you later!"

Hearing this, Dahua turned her head and wanted to see it.Bai Tutu hurriedly held its head: "Don't look, you sneak around behind them!"

"Meow!" Dahua responded, and jumped off Bai Tutu's lap, while Bai Tutu continued to watch the fire as if nothing had happened.

The two people's noses were running from the thick smoke, but their eyes were still glued to Bai Tutu's body without blinking.

This morning, Chang Sheng and Bai Tutu took the girl to pick rabbits from Widow Zhang's house, and they were spotted by many villagers on the way.During the lunch break, the men in the village gathered together to chat.The topic of chatting was naturally Bai Tutu and the woman.

Someone recognized the woman as Li Yu'e, the youngest daughter of Li Yuan's family in the neighboring Lijia Village.Mr. Li's family is a boat runner, his family is wealthy, and Ms. Li is beautiful, so there is an endless stream of people who come to Li's family to propose marriage, almost leveling the threshold of Li's family.But this Miss Li has high eyesight, and no one looks down on her. Fortunately, she is not very old, and Li Yuanwai and his wife are not in a hurry to make a marriage for her.However, it is said that Li Yuanwai intends to marry the county magistrate and wants to marry his daughter to the county magistrate's eldest son.

The Miss Li family was something farmers like them didn't dare to think about. Everyone only wondered how Chang Sheng knew Li Yu'e, and they didn't dare to make up random arrangements.But Bai Tutu is different.

They had never seen such a supple and energetic person before. The honest man who blushed and ran away when Bai Tutu smiled slightly said that the beauty in white was not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted. Figure boasting flowers.

The beauty of Miss Li's family is obvious to all, and some people don't believe that the beauty in white is prettier than Miss Li.Amidst the discussion, those who had something to do slapped their thighs and booed that it would be better to go to Chang Sheng's house to have a look.And then here they are!

"Chang Da really got rich, and sold so much pork!" The man with pockmarked face stared at the wild pork on the bamboo pole, drooling.

This man is a lazy old bachelor. His family is too poor to open the pot and he is unwilling to work in the fields. He wanders around the village and outside the village all day. Whenever he sees a neater girl's house, he can't move his eyes away.Hearing that Chang Sheng got a lot of money from the mountain and was favored by beauties, he was immediately envious.

"I'm really willing to let the little beauty light the fire!" The young man with obscene eyes licked his lips and smiled obscenely, "The little beauty should be the one to put out the fire!"

"Extremely true! This little beauty is sure to taste the delicate skin and tender meat..."

Dahua quietly walked behind the two of them, and when she heard the obscene words of the two, the cat's eyes flashed sharply.

Walking lightly behind the pockmarked man, Dahua raised her foreleg and patted him hard on the back.

"What are you doing?" The man turned his head wonderingly, unexpectedly, a cat's face suddenly magnified in front of his eyes, the man was startled, and before he could yell out, a sharp claw came towards him!

"!!!" The man's eyes widened in horror, and he fell backwards. He was stabbed several times by wild roses on the fence with an "oops".

The young man next to him was also taken aback, and stood up hastily. Unexpectedly, there was a sound of "shoo" piercing through the air, and a bamboo pole flew straight towards the door in front of him.

The young man's face turned pale, and he hurriedly dodged, but he was caught by the pockmarked man, and he fell straight down, falling into the mud like a dog.

Standing on the roof of the stable, Chang Sheng's face was as gloomy as water, and his eyes were as cold and sharp as a sword.

"Meow!" Dahua bowed her body, showed her sharp claws, and yelled at the two of them.

"You dead cat!" The young man couldn't help venting his anger on Da Hua after suffering from pain.

"Chang Da is here! Let's go!" Seeing Chang Sheng striding forward holding a bamboo pole, a trace of panic flashed in the eyes of the pockmarked man, and he hurriedly pushed the young man away.

The last time Widow Zhang's daughter returned to the village, he said a few words lightly, but unfortunately, he was bumped into by Chang Sheng, and was beaten up by Chang Sheng. He was so painful that he cried and begged for mercy, and Chang Sheng let him go. .This time he doesn't want to be beaten again!

The young man ate his face again, his face turned black, and he was about to scold, "Why are you afraid of him?", but the pockmarked face left him and ran away.

As soon as he sat up, a bamboo pole with a sharpened end was stabbed straight at the eyes.

"Ahhh——" The young man was so frightened that he stepped back hurriedly with his hands on the ground.

The bamboo pole barely stopped in front of him, and Chang Sheng looked down at him with cold eyes like looking at a dead dog.

"There will be another time, and I will dig out your dog's eyes."

The man's tone was extremely indifferent, the young man raised his eyes cautiously, and met those gloomy black eyes all at once, not daring to take a breath.

"Get out!" Chang Sheng said coldly as soon as the bamboo pole was put away.

The young man shuddered, got up on hands and feet, and ran away without looking back, as if being chased by a dog.

"Meow!" Dahua got in through the fence and walked to Chang Sheng's feet.

Chang Sheng squatted down and patted its head, and told it with a serious expression: "Don't do this next time, these people will beat you when they get bad, don't provoke them."

Bai Tutu walked over and said apologetically, "I asked Dahua to scare them. I was in a rush and didn't think too much about it. I'm sorry!"

The young man was sincere and realized that he had done something wrong. Chang Sheng softened his face: "If this happens again, just tell me." Most of the villagers in Changshan Village are kind, but it does not prevent some smugglers.The little thing has a special status, so it is not suitable to directly conflict with people.

"I see." Bai Tutu nodded obediently, twisted his fingers and asked in a low voice, "Did I cause you trouble?" Those two people came for him, and Chang Sheng drove them away. Will you remember Chang Sheng?

The young man's clear eyes were full of worry, and Chang Sheng comforted him gently: "It's okay. They were the ones who were rude first, even if they were beaten, they deserve it."

Hearing this, Bai Tutu breathed a sigh of relief, and gave him a big smile, then sat back on the small stool and continued to watch the fire.

Seeing that it was almost smoked, Chang Sheng said: "After burning this one, put out the fire."

"Okay." Bai Tutu responded, looking up at him expectantly, "What's for dinner?"

Hearing this, Chang Sheng felt a little complicated: "What do you want to eat?" I've heard a saying before: Half-sized children eat poor old people.This young man who is growing up eats a lot and is hungry quickly, he is not afraid that the young man will be poor, but he is afraid that the young man will be full without knowing it.

After all, Aunt Zhang told him before that the rabbit was not full, so he asked him to feed it carefully.

"I don't know." Bai Tutu tilted his head and thought for a while. He had never eaten many things, and he wanted to try them all.but……

"Just now I promised Dahua to grill fish for him to eat, do you have any fish at home?"

The boy said the word "home" in an extremely natural tone, obviously he had forgotten that he only came today, and he never told the boy that the cat he raised was named Dahua.

Really buggy.

Chang Sheng sighed: "No. If you want to eat fish, go fishing later."

"Okay!" Bai Tutu's eyes lit up, and he greeted Dahua. "Big Flower, let's go fishing!"

"Meow!" Da Hua happily shook her tail.

...So there was an extra braised grass carp on the table at dinner.

After eating and drinking, Bai Tutu lazily spread out on the bed, patting Da Hua's back with his hands: "Chang Sheng's cooking is so delicious..."

"Meow!" Dahua echoed.

"Well, I'm so full..." Bai Tutu yawned a little.Today I became a human being and was taken home by Chang Sheng. I was excited all day and didn't take a nap. Now I'm a little sleepy.

Chang Sheng happened to see this scene when he entered the room, frowned, and said to Bai Tutu: "I boiled hot water, go take a bath and go to sleep."

He still remembers that day when he wanted to bathe the little rabbit, but the little rabbit threw the water all over his face. Maybe rabbits don't like bathing, right?But if a teenager wants to be a human being, he must get used to the human way of life, so as not to reveal his secrets.

Opening the closet, I found a new set of clothes made for myself by the widow: "The clothes are new, you wear them tonight, and I will go to the city with you tomorrow to buy them."

"Oh..." Bai Tutu sat up slowly.He doesn't need to bathe or change clothes.But if Chang Sheng wants him to wash it, he can wash it, but...

"Which one do I want to wear, is that okay?" Bai Tutu pointed to the neatly folded white clothes in the closet, and looked at Chang Sheng shyly with his big black eyes.

He likes the smell of Chang Sheng, and he wants to wear the clothes Chang Sheng wears.

The suit of clothes the boy mentioned was very old and turned white from washing.Chang Sheng glanced at the new dark gray clothes in his hand, silently took out the clothes, and silently remembered them in his heart.

The little white rabbit likes white clothes.

Bai Tutu took his old clothes and happily went to take a bath.

The night in spring is cool, but the bathroom is very warm.The half-person-high bathtub is filled with warm water, steaming and white smoke curling up.

Bai Tutu put the clothes on the shelf beside him, then touched and looked here and there curiously.The cloth towel for washing the face, the melon ladle for scooping up water, the bath beans for washing the body... He has never used these before!

Stepping on the low stool under the tub, Bai Tutu reached out and flicked the water in the tub, hesitating a little.He had never had a bath like this before, and it was strange to think of a rabbit soaking in water.

But every time Chang Sheng takes a bath, he looks relaxed. Maybe taking a bath is really a very comfortable thing!

Thinking about it this way, Bai Tutu gritted his teeth, and the white brocade robe on his body slipped to the ground without his hands...

The room was quiet, except for the occasional beeping sound when the oil lamp was burning.Chang Sheng raised his head from the book, his eyes fell on the corner, and his black eyes were a little puzzled.

It's been almost two quarters of an hour, why haven't you come out yet?

After closing the book, Chang Sheng got up and knocked on the door: "Are you ready?"

The door was opened with a sound of "Yi Ya", and dense water vapor rushed towards his face. The rosy-faced young man stood in front of him, glanced at him with big moist eyes, and said softly: "Okay, okay."

The male and female boy is wearing his loose clothes, revealing a large slender neck. Under the clothes, the two white legs and bare round feet are very eye-catching. Innocent eyes, seductive without knowing it.

Chang Sheng hurriedly looked away: "Why don't you wear pants?"

"Ah, the pants are too long, it's inconvenient to wear." The boy opened his hands and looked, as if he was quite satisfied with his clothes.

Who would have thought that when he raised his hand, the front of his clothes would be cut open automatically, revealing a small half white chest.

The boy didn't wear a belt!The bottom seems to be naked too!

Chang Sheng's eyebrows twitched fiercely, and he quickly reached out to gather his clothes together: "Why don't you put on your clothes?"

He spoke urgently and quickly, with a rare look of ferocity between his brows, which startled Bai Tutu.

Bai Tutu stared at him blankly, with aggrieved eyes: "I didn't wear it backwards..."

Chang Sheng was dumbfounded, realized that he was too excited, calmed down, and said: "Tie the belt well."

Bai Tutu looked down at the belt beside him, and said "Oh" muffled.The clothes transformed from the fur on his body were different from Chang Sheng's, and he didn't notice at all.

Afraid that he would see something he shouldn't see again, Chang Sheng hurriedly straightened his clothes.

The man lowered his head to tie his clothes, Bai Tutu couldn't see his face, but saw his reddened ears.

Bai Tutu blinked, feeling a little strange.

Coughing lightly, Chang Sheng looked away: "Put on your pants."

Bai Tutu was reluctant: "It's too long."

Without further ado, Chang Sheng found scissors, picked up the trousers and gestured on him, cut off the part that grew out, and urged: "Put it on quickly! It's cold at night."

Bai Tutu slowly raised his foot to put on his pants, while watching Chang Sheng secretly.The man turned his back to him, and the roots of his ears were still red.

"All right."

Hearing this, Chang Sheng turned around, saw that the clothes had completely covered the boy, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I'm going to take a bath."

After saying that, he quickly took a change of clothes and strode into the bathroom, his footsteps were hurried and somewhat embarrassed.

Bai Tutu stared at his back, feeling more and more confused.

Is Chang Sheng nervous?Why be nervous?

In the bathroom, Chang Sheng poured a spoonful of cold water to extinguish the small flames in his heart and expel all the pictures he just saw from his mind.
