Farmer's Rabbit

"Have you seen my Changsan?"

In the drizzle, the woman with a skinny face and a haggard face was staggering. Every time she saw a villager, she would go up to ask, but the villagers she asked shook their heads and answered that they hadn't seen them. The woman's eyes became more and more sad. shed tears.

"Chang San! My son! Where have you been?" The woman collapsed on the ground, crying in pain.

"Aunt Li, get up quickly!" "Yes, Aunt Li, you are still sick, you can't catch a cold in the rain!" Seeing this, the familiar village women hurriedly helped him up.

"Er Niu Niang, didn't your Er Niu go up the mountain yesterday? Did he see my Chang San?" The woman asked, holding on to the visitor's sleeve tightly, her eyes full of hope.

Chang Erniu's wife, Chang Liu, patted the back of her hand: "Don't worry, I'll call Erniu to ask."

The woman nodded hurriedly, but Chang Erniu came to ask, but Chang San was not seen.

Angkor Angkor who passed by heard about this and asked all the villagers who went up the mountain yesterday. Everyone said that they saw Chang San going up the mountain, but they didn't see anyone when they went down the mountain.

Chang San was worried about sharing the prey equally with others, and he was unwilling to team up with others to hunt. He always acted alone.

The woman burst into tears: "My family often comes home late when I go up the mountain, but I always go home before dark, but last night it was dark and I haven't seen anyone. I feel uneasy and can't eat. , guarded at the gate all night..."

Speaking of this, the woman burst into tears: "My son, come back quickly!"

"Aunt Li..." Er Ge couldn't bear it, thought for a while and said, "Chang Sheng also went up the mountain yesterday, I'll ask him."

The villagers spoke out to comfort her one after another, telling her not to worry.Angkor turned around and walked quickly to Chang Sheng's house.

Bai Tutu was sitting in the room bored, it was wet outside, and he didn't want to move, so he just hugged the big flower in a daze.

"Chang Sheng—"

An eager shout came from outside, Dahua's ears moved, Bai Tutu patted its head, carried it out of the room to see who was looking for Chang Sheng.

"Chang——" Erkor Angkor was about to shout a second time when he looked at Bai Tutu curiously, and his voice suddenly stuck in his throat.

He had long heard that a young man from a rich family lived in Chang Sheng's house, and also heard that the villager said that this young man looked as if he had walked out of a painting, but when he saw it now, Erkor Angkor was still shocked.

The young man standing at the door had red lips, white teeth, clear eyes, noble and elegant demeanor, and was dressed in white clothes like snow, making him unparalleled, more eye-catching than any rich man he had ever seen.In particular, Chang Sheng's fierce big tabby cat obediently lay in the boy's arms, making the handsome boy even more charming and cute.

"Chang Sheng has gone to the fields, what do you want from him?" Bai Tutu asked.He had seen this black-faced man standing outside the fence. He had come to look for Chang Sheng the first day he was picked up by Chang Sheng. He still remembered what this man had said to Chang Sheng.

The little boy's voice was soft and soft, very comfortable to hear.Angkor scratched his head embarrassingly: "I just wanted to ask Chang Sheng, he didn't see Chang San on the mountain yesterday."

"Chang San?" Bai Tutu thought for a while, "Is it the young man with a mole on his left cheek?"

Angkor asked in surprise, "You know him?"

Bai Tutu nodded sincerely: "I know, he always talks bad things to the villagers."

Angkor Angkor looked embarrassed, and said with a sneer: "Chang San didn't return last night after going up the mountain, his mother was crying and looking for someone..."

Bai Tutu understood, and said, "Chang Sheng and I went up the mountain yesterday, but we didn't see him."

"That's fine, stop nagging." Angkor thanked him and left in a hurry.

Knowing that Angkor Er failed to bring back Chang San, the woman cried heart-rendingly: "My son, it's all for your mother's fault. If I had known earlier, I would have died secretly outside, so you don't have to be tired all day long." Raise money for my medicine..."

After saying that, the woman's eyes turned dark, and she fainted from crying.

This matter soon alarmed the village chief. The village chief of Changshan Village is a middle-aged man in his 50s with a calm face. The young and strong in the village came to discuss.

"Chang San hasn't gone down the mountain for so long, I'm afraid he's in trouble, we have to go up the mountain to look for it."

Immediately someone choked: "That's what he deserves! At the beginning, Angkor Er reminded us that we were not familiar with the situation on the mountain, so it's better to go together. But Chang Sanfei said that Changda went up the mountain alone, and he couldn't compare with him. ! This time it’s great, everyone is gone!”

"Yeah, I'm afraid we took advantage of him. Did something happen this time?"

"It's meaningless to talk about it now." The village chief waved his hand to appease everyone's excited emotions, "Chang San also has difficulties. His mother has been ill for more than a year and has to take medicines worth hundreds of pennies every day. Chang San's family However, you also know that this kid’s family was almost unable to open the pot a few days ago, so he had to come to me to borrow a few taels of silver. Later, he hunted wild animals on the mountain and immediately took them to the city to buy them, and returned the silver to him the next day. I……"

Speaking of this, the village chief sighed and said: "Everyone is considerate of him for the sake of his filial piety."

The woman cried so miserably just now, everyone felt sad when they saw it.They are all from the same village, and many of them are cousins, so Chang San cannot be left alone on the mountain.

The village head glanced at everyone: "You have all gone up the mountain, and anyone who wants to go up the mountain to find someone can stand up."

A villager expressed his worries: "We usually hunt pheasants and hares outside, what if Chang San runs into the mountains?"

"How about we call Chang Da up? Chang Da is more familiar with the situation on the mountain than we are!"

As soon as these words came out, many people looked at me and looked at you, but they didn't make a sound.

Only then did the village head notice that Chang Sheng was not there: "Why didn't Chang Sheng come?"

The simple-faced man who was ordered by the village head to call someone looked at the village head and asked him, and said: "In the past, when there were things in the village, Chang Da didn't participate. It was Chang Wu who came forward. That's why I..." Chang Youde's family has three sons. Every household had to send a man out to discuss matters. It stands to reason that the original owner was the eldest son, so he should come, but he had too much work to do, and Li Chunhua wouldn't let him go.Over time, the villagers began to call Chang Wu instead of the original owner.

Standing in the crowd, Chang Wu's heart skipped a beat, and he felt the eyes of the villagers swishing over him, and his face changed suddenly: "If you don't call him, it's still my fault!"

The village chief also knew that some things were not done very kindly in the past, but now that Chang Wen is in the government examination and is expected to be a scholar, he doesn't want to lose face to Chang Wu, so he said: "Okay, don't talk about this, call Chang Sheng here quickly .”

The simple-faced man was reluctant: "Village chief, let Angkor go, I won't go." When they were clamoring to go up the mountain, Chang Da had warned them that there was danger on the mountain and told them to be careful, but none of them would He didn't appreciate it, but under Chang San's instigation, he uttered bad words to Chang Da.

The nearby villagers whispered: "Chang San said so many bad things about Chang Da, how could Chang Da agree to go up the mountain to find Chang San?"

"Chang Da is not the kind of person with a small belly." Angkor looked at the village head and said, "I went to Chang Sheng's house just now, and Mr. Bai said that he has gone to the field. I will go to the field to find him."

Hearing this, the silly-faced man hurriedly said: "Er Angor, you should leave! Chang San went down the mountain with us last time, and he was talking bad things about Chang Da again, just happened to be bumped into by Chang Da and Young Master Bai. Chang San He also slandered Mr. Xiaobai, saying that he was bought by Chang Da from the land of fireworks to be his daughter-in-law. He was scolded by Mr. Xiaobai, and even we were scolded..."

The villagers who were present at the time were ashamed.

Angkor was surprised, no wonder the young man was so impressed with Chang San, it turned out to be because of this!

but……

Angkor Angkor said seriously: "Human life is at stake, I'd better ask Chang Da."

"Da da da--"

Just as he was talking, a familiar sound of horseshoes approached from a distance, and everyone looked sideways.

In the drizzle, a man with a stern face galloped forward on a black steed. As soon as the eyes of the two met, the man tightened the reins, and the black horse gradually slowed down. It stopped when it approached the villagers.

The village chief was overjoyed: "Chang Sheng, you came just in time!"

Briefly explaining the matter, the village chief said earnestly, "I have heard about the unhappiness between you and Chang San. Chang San was too much, but his mother fainted from crying, so you should take pity on her." She went up the mountain with us to look for Chang San. It's really worrying that she hasn't returned all night."

Angkor also persuaded: "Chang Da, you can go up the mountain with us."

The rest of the people also looked at Chang Sheng, and Chang Sheng's tone was cold: "You guys go first, I'll go home and say something."

Angkor relaxed, and greeted the rest of the people: "Whoever is willing to find someone can go up the mountain with me now! Those who don't want to go stay!"

Chang Da, who was at odds with Chang San, said it, who else would be embarrassed not to go?Everyone looked at each other and followed behind Angkor.

The village chief looked relieved and told everyone: "Be careful."

Chang Sheng turned the horse's head, kicked the horse's stomach lightly with his feet, and ran home when he saw the big black.

Bai Tutu, who was sitting at the door watching the rain with a big flower in his arms, saw Chang Sheng come back, his eyes lit up: "Chang Sheng!"

Chang Sheng didn't get off the horse: "Chang San is gone. The villagers and I went up the mountain to find someone. You wait for me at home. If I haven't come back at noon, you can go to Aunt Zhang's house for dinner."

"No!" Bai Tutu refused without thinking, "I want to go with you!"

Chang Sheng frowned: "Be obedient."

Bai Tutu stubbornly stared at him, and said aggrievedly, "I don't want to stay at home by myself!"

Chang Sheng's heart was shocked, and he lowered his tone: "I will be back as soon as possible."

Bai Tutu ignored it, touched Dahua and said something to it in a low voice, Dahua opened his eyes and responded with a "meow", and Bai Tutu hugged it and hurried towards Sheng.

It was drizzling outside, Chang Sheng hurriedly dismounted, took off the bamboo hat on his head and put it on for him, and said helplessly, "The humidity on the rainy mountain is heavy, you will catch the cold if you are not healed."

"I'm really well!" Bai Tutu met his deep black eyes and said seriously, "Chang Sheng, I've grown up, I will take care of myself, you don't have to worry."

Chang Sheng was stunned, pursed his lips lightly, and finally went into the room and got another coir raincoat for him to put on.

Bai Tutu hadn't put on the coir raincoat yet, so he opened his arms and twirled around, smiling, "Chang Sheng, I feel like a big bird!" The coir raincoat was divided into two parts, the upper body was propped on the shoulders like a cloak, and a The piece looks like a sleeveless short hexagram, and when worn on the body, the whole person seems to have spread its wings.

Chang Sheng's eyes flickered, and he said "um", telling him to get on the horse.

In the depths of the mountain forest, a dark-skinned man with a rather wild and unruly expression looked down at Chang San who had passed out on the ground, raised his eyebrows, and said "tsk": "I don't know if I'm alive or not!"
