Adopt an old man

Shitou has been assigned to the ranks of young and middle-aged adults in the village, but he is still a child who has just turned 11 years old. He has been exhausted from running around for many days in summer. With a back as hard as a rock, Shan Shi felt soft in his heart, so he walked home slowly with the stone on his back.

Wood is as meticulous as a hair, and when Shitou counts the prey and sends it to the underground warehouse to receive the villagers' praise, he cleans out the house that Shishi hasn't lived in for many days, and before leaving, he also leaves the food made by Ari for Shitou and Shanshi.

Shanshi stepped into the house first, intending to grab Shishi's food, but when he saw that the stone bowl was full of meat, he went over and lay down on the spot, put his head on the basin, and ate mouthfuls.

After Shi Shi entered the house, he glanced at him, and Shan Shi flicked his short tail on purpose.

Shanshi's tail was relatively stiff, he flicked it provocatively, but it was like a twitch, Shishi ignored him, and also ignored his lazily eating posture, and ate his own food with a bowl in his hand.

Shan Shi looked lazy in his movements, but actually ate very quickly, which echoed what Shui Sheng said: he was reincarnated from a starved ghost.

After eating, Shan Shi saw that Shi Shi ignored him, and the hero felt insulted in his heart. He rubbed on the ground and moved forward without getting up. He moved to the side of the stone, put his mouth on the stone's leg, and wiped his mouth... …

He expected that the stone would do nothing to him, so he lay on his hind legs, stood up with his upper body, and put a huge head on the bed. After the stone finished eating, he stared at him for a while.Shan Shi thought to himself, he had tiger scratches on his neck and buttocks, so Shi Shi didn't dare to do anything to him.

I saw Shan Shi's small eyeballs turning and turning with Shi Shi's hand, Shi Shi used one hand to hold the food utensils before, and the other hand flicked Shan Shi's black and red nose with lightning speed, and then He quickly got up and took away the rice bowl kicked by the mountain stone, opened the door and left.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...painful...

Shi Shi washed the basin and sent it back, just as Shui Sheng was there, the three brothers sat down and chatted for a while.

Shuisheng recalled the tragic cry just now, and joked: "Shanshi has helped you a lot on this journey, and you will abuse/treat him like this when you come back?"

"Brother Shuisheng thinks that I have abused Shanshi, so you can take Shanshi home, and I won't abuse/treat Shanshi if I can't see him."

Shi Shi immediately threw the words back, and Mu Mu remembered that Shan Shi always left him a disdainful back, and it is estimated that Shui Sheng was treated in the same way when facing Shan Shi, thinking about the scene, he smiled shamelessly.

"Brother!" Shuisheng said, "Brother, if you smile like this again, I will think that you must really want to raise Shanshi, or you can bring him back. The owner of Shishi is simply abusing/abusing animals. 'Aww~' two voices."

Mu Mu frowned slightly habitually, "Except for stones, Shanshi always leaves a shadow of others when he sees them, and if he brings them back..."

"Nonsense," Shuisheng glanced at Mumu, "Shanshi always greets people when he sees him, and he is very close to us." Shuisheng paused here, with a smirk on the corner of his mouth, "The reason why big brother said that, Could it be that Shanshi shows your ass every time he sees you?"

Mu Mu stretched out his arm and patted Shui Sheng's head, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Shi Shi interjected again, "Brother, do you know why Shan Shi treats you differently than he treats others?"

really different?Mu Mu put down the hand that abused Shui Sheng, "Why? I thought he had the same attitude towards everyone except you."

"Because you took his brother away from him back then, and he has been remembered by you for so many years."

……

"Back then?" Mu Mu recalled for so many years, he had never hunted Bamei, let alone carried Bamei, what had he carried?

Wood recalled that it was about 11 years ago. The village suffered the largest and most brutal bandit attack. His mother died in that battle. A large part of the women and children in the village that year There were countless losses in the prime of life, and there were countless casualties in the prime of life. Almost all the grain hidden in the warehouse above the ground that could be taken away was taken away.

In the knee-deep snow, Mu Mu followed his father and others up the mountain to look for prey that hadn't hibernated or other food. He accidentally got separated from the adults and walked for a long time. Judging from the smell in the cave, wild boars live in the cave.

Even though wild boars generally don't eat people, animals are hostile to foreign creatures that invade their territory.

Just as Mu Mu was retreating out of the cave with slow movements that would not disturb the wild boar, she heard the cry of a child, and after listening carefully, it was indeed the cry of a human child. After a moment of hesitation, she rushed into the cave impulsively. There is only a human child and another piglet in the hole.

The little piggy groaned and hummed non-stop at the child. The child seemed to have fallen out of a nest piled up with withered grass. It may have hit a stone. The fleshy little arms were covered with bloodshot wipes. hurt.

Mu Mu quickly walked up to the child and picked him up to check the injury. The little piggy might feel that Mu Mu had violated his territory, so he howled angrily and held the leg against the wood.

How was the wood made then?

Oh, he was young at the time, and he wasn't as good as he is now. He was pushed back a step, staggered and almost lost his footing. He was afraid that the sow would come back and hurt him, so he wrapped the child tightly with his clothes. , leaving the little piggy to run out of the cave.

Even though he was wrapped in clothes, he could still feel the biting cold. The cold irritated the scratched wounds and made them hurt more and more. The child was crying all the time. He carried the child and ran away from the cave in fear until the adults heard the sound They were found and the child was taken back to the village.

When Mu Mu thought of these times, Shui Sheng also thought of the year when he was younger, the old, weak, sick and disabled who stayed in the village to help his mother survive on schedule, and when he returned home after a busy day, he found his brother holding a baby.

In the famine era, those who survived had no food to eat. Who was able to take in a child, and the father and a few elders who had the right to speak in the village held a special meeting for Mu Mu.

For the sake of this child, Brother Mu disobeyed the orders of his elders for the first time. He held the child tightly in his arms and refused to let go.

The elders took the next best thing and demanded: It is okay not to give up the child, but he should go back to where he came from.

"Did you hear that?" Shui Sheng said here, and stopped deliberately, with his arms bent and resting on the shoulders of the stone, "Brother is so kind to you. In comparison, I am not my real brother."

No need to listen anymore, Shitou also knew that Wood was under pressure and left the child behind, and took care of the child until he grew up.Therefore, Shitou continued to pour water and drink tea with a numb face, ignoring Shuisheng's jokes.

"I just don't understand, hey, big brother," Shui Sheng reached out to pick up the wood that was trapped in memories.

"what happened?"

Shui Sheng took his arm off the shoulder of the stone and put it on his leg, "Why did you like stone so much back then? Give the stone all your food, but don't give the stone back to the old sow."

"Brother Mumu can't find where the pig's nest is, or where will I be sent?" Shito tilted his head and looked at Shuisheng. He actually had a vague and hazy impression of what happened back then.

Mu Mu sighed, his voice sounded dull, "This is one of the reasons. I was afraid that the sow would come back, and I couldn't handle it myself. Besides, you have a baby by yourself, how big can a sow be to support you."

"There is another reason. When my mother was killed, I picked up a child in the forest not long after. This always makes me feel that my mother has not gone far..."

"Ah!!" Shui Sheng grabbed Shitou's arm, "Shitou, you have to be careful of this abnormality in front of you, he actually regards you as his mother..." Before finishing speaking, he got a chestnut on the head.

But because of Shui Sheng's intentional interruption, the atmosphere of the chat relaxed.

The three brothers chatted about some big and small matters again, and before the end, Mu Mu suddenly thought of something, and he asked: "By the way, stone, why is the mountain stone called a mountain stone?"

Shitou paused, "Oh~ I just picked it up casually, meaning the stones in the mountains..."

Oh... just randomly...

The author has something to say:

Hmm~~ There is tender meat on the pig's nose, it's actually quite gentle when you flick it, after all, the stone didn't stretch out your hand~~~
