Adopt an old man

At noon, Mu Mu, who was on guard last night, had enough rest. Seeing that Erniang hadn't come back to cook, he knew that everyone was busy, so he rushed to the field with tools to help.

The monkey's eyes are sharp, and he can see him from a long distance, and he raises his hand high and swings it back and forth.Wood saw the gesture and walked over.

While rolling up his sleeves, he asked him, "Can I come here?"

The monkey bent down to work, and said seriously, "It's very important, so I called you here."

"Brother, you are here, come and help me." Mu Mu looked up, and Shui Sheng was calling him, dragging a large bundle of dry firewood for heating in winter.

Mu Mu hurried over and helped him put the dry firewood on his back. After Shuisheng carried the dry firewood, he asked him with a smile, "Brother, what did you discuss secretly with the monkey? As soon as you came out, you ran towards him."

Mu Mu held the dry firewood for him and sent him to the road, "I haven't said anything yet, you just called me, and I don't know what he wants to say?" Put your hands down, "After you send the dry firewood back, go to the vegetable field and ask you/mother to go back to cook. The sun is very strong at noon. After eating, rest for a while before continuing to work."

"Okay, I'll go back now."

Shuisheng left, and Mu Mu went back to pick up the tools and collected the grain while saying, "Tell me, what did you want to say just now?"

The monkey raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead before continuing the conversation, "This morning, after you and the village chief finished talking about it, I'll go and wake everyone up and tell Shitou Shitou to keep silent. It turned out that I got up earlier and went to the mountain to pick fruits."

"Yeah." The monkey waited for Mu Mu to continue talking, but Mu Mu couldn't hear him and turned his head to look at him, "Continue talking, what's wrong with Shi Shi going up to the mountain to pick fruit? But did you meet that person last night?"

"Oh, no, but he said he nearly stepped on a stray trap."

The movement of Mu Mu's hand froze, and then he said: "That's it, just run back. Recently, everyone has been more vigilant, and there is no harm. I will trouble you to tell others in a while. Don't go up the mountain alone recently. At least five people can go up the mountain together. .”

Monkey: "OK."

Around the time of eating, the stone came over and told everyone to go back to eat, but the wood did not move, and continued to do the work at hand.

The monkey stopped and straightened up and asked him, "Brother Mumu, are you not going back?"

Without raising the wood, he said, "I ate dry biscuits before I came out. I'm not hungry. You go back first." The monkey quickly answered "Yes".

Seeing that everyone had left, only the log was still in the field, Shi Shi ran to him and called him, "Brother, go back and eat."

Mu Mu nodded, dropped the tools in his hand, pulled the stone and walked back. When he reached the entrance of the village, he didn't go inside, but walked towards the forest.

"Brother?" Shitou was wondering, and suddenly realized that this was the road he and Shanshi ran up the mountain at night, seemed to have thought of something, so he pursed his lips and stopped asking.

When he reached the place where the footprints were obvious, Mu Mu compared the footprints of the person above with the foot of the stone. After the comparison, he stood up and looked down at the stone, frowning tightly, waiting for the stone to speak without saying a word.

Stone continued to purse his lips and said nothing, and Wood pointed to the dung and asked him: "What is that? Today/your monkey brother told me that you went up to the mountain to pick fruits early, but I didn't see you coming from the mountain. Come down, did you deliberately go another way?"

Stone: "Yes!"

Mu Mu nodded, and put his big hands on his shoulders, "Let's go, go back to eat."

Wood: "That wild boar is your friend in the mountains?"

Stone: "Yes"

Wood: "Does he have a name? What's his name?"

Stone: "Mountain stone."

Wood: "Stone in the mountain, this is not the same as your name, ha ha."

"It's not the same," Shitou patted his hands off his shoulders, raised his head and said, "My name is Shitou."

"Oh~ stop talking, go to Erniang's house for dinner." Almost at the door of the village chief's house, Mu Mu asked him again in a low voice: "Did you bring the clip back?"

Stone shook his head, "I threw it."

Mu Mu slapped him on the head, "That is the public property of the village, why did you throw it away?"

The stone looked up at him, "I don't like it." After saying that, he stopped talking about the wood and went into the house.

There are still some considerations in Shitou's heart. Although this time it is because of the panic caused by the arrival of the mountains and rocks, every year when the grain harvest season comes, there will always be robbers and robbers because of natural disasters and man-made disasters. First, it is not easy to explain to everyone. A false alarm makes it easier for the guards to relax their vigilance. Second, once the mountain stone is discovered by the villagers, it is easy to be caught back. I am still young and have no right to speak in the village, so I can't protect the mountain stone at all. .So it's better to just throw the clip away.

Still young?This word was added under the stone heart.

Shitou and Mumu entered the house, the village head and Shuisheng were there, Shuisheng/mother saw that they were about to serve soup for dinner, Shitou hurried to take the soup in his hand, "Er Niang, let me serve it."

Shuisheng was biting a piece of pigtail grass in his mouth, and after Shishi sat down, he stuck the grass on the head of the stone, "The stone is not bad, I will reward you."

After a while, Shitou looked at Shuisheng and said, "Brother Shuisheng, if you want a reward, just reward me with the piece of meat in your bowl!" Shuisheng was so frightened that he backed away, not noticing that there were stones behind him that were going to surround the fire, his toes hit the stones, and he let out a cry.

Only then did Shishi take down the grass, and pulled the corner of his mouth with the bowl. The village chief picked up his chopsticks and knocked on the stone, and then on the water several times, with a serious face: "Eat when you eat, what does that sound like?"

After the daily reprimand before meals, the two brothers will settle down and sit in their own seats to eat honestly, just like the wood.After the meal, Shuisheng/mother must come to tease the two brothers. Although Mu Mu has a bold temper, he is already in his 20s and has long passed the age of being teased.On the contrary, Stone has been fed by her since he was brought back by Wood, and he is emotionally like his own son, so teasing Shuisheng will also bring Stone along.

After the meal, the village chief and Mu Mu discussed in detail the arrangement of the sentry personnel and the location of the sentry posts, and they left with Mu Mu and the stone after the discussion.

In the afternoon, Shi Shi came to work in the fields with buckets and tools. The monkey looked at him with some embarrassment: "Shi Shi, you are still young, and the work here is too heavy. The work in the vegetable field is done."

Shitou: "No, the work in the vegetable field over there is very easy, and it can be done with the help of a few children."

The work in the vegetable field is done by women and underage children. The work is less and easier. The work in the crop field here is done by adults in their prime. The work is heavy and distributed equally. A child over ten years old It is not in compliance with the regulations to do the same work as young adults in their 20s, which really embarrasses the monkey who assigned the task.

Shitou lowered his head to look at a small pile of harvested wheat nearby, pursed his lips and remained silent.The monkey can't spend too much time working on this, and when he was in a hurry, he repeated the two words of persuasion until Mu Mu passed by and nodded in agreement, and the one-sided dialogue ended.

By the time the stones had finished their work in the field, the sun had already set and they were ready to go into the mountains.

The stone went into the forest again, and met the wood on the edge of the forest.During this period of time, you are not allowed to enter the mountain alone, and if the stone meets a log, you can only go with him.

On the way, the stone climbed up the tree and picked a lot of bananas. He tore off the wood's coat and packed the bananas.

Mu Mu looked at him with a smile, "Pick so many bananas? But bananas are not easy to store."

Shitou glanced at him, "Why does Brother Mu always make fun of me like those aunts. This is not taken back for storage, so you don't have to worry about it being damaged."

"To see the stone?" Mu Mu bent down and brought his head closer, and said in a low voice.

"It's the mountain stone." Taking advantage of his approaching opportunity, the stone delivered the package of bananas in his arms to Mu Mu's hand, "Didn't you know what I was going to do, and why did you wait on the edge of the forest?"

Mu Mu has never been able to say anything about this younger brother, and he knew that it would be good to shut up when he heard the words. The tree leaves with sap lead the wood to the cave that it left in the morning.

As expected, Shanshi was obedient and did not come out for a whole day. The camouflage at the entrance of the cave was well done, which was highly praised by Mu Mu.

Hearing the sound of walking, Shan Shi got up from the sleeping straw mat and walked out. Seeing Shi Shi holding the leaf in his arms, he ran over happily and started to eat it "huh huh huh~".

Mu Mu was very curious about him. It was the first time he had seen such a big Bamei pig. He had a strong body, well-developed muscles, especially the hind legs, and powerful kicking. It looks like his father is frowning and making a serious look, looking very majestic, and when Bamei sees a stranger intruding into his territory, instead of driving or asking about the stone, he eats the leaves immediately , This is also the first time he saw that he likes to eat leaves and eats them with relish.

Mu Mu put down the banana package in his hand, crossed his arms and said, "Stone, this is the first time I've seen Bamei who likes to eat leaves."

Shi Shi handed the leaves to Shan Shi's mouth one by one, trying not to let the leaves fall on the ground, and explained with a calm face: "It's not that he likes to eat leaves, he likes to drink. The juice of this leaf tastes like wine... ..."
