The He Family Brother of Farming

At lunch, when the rest of the family knew that He He cooked the porridge today, they were once again praised by the two men in the family, which made He He feel quite embarrassed to hear it.

Because there is a rush to get the field ready, so that the seedlings can be planted quickly, so He Er and the others only rested for half an hour after lunch, and then went to the field again. Fortunately, this world has invented a rake for plowing the fields. , that is to use manpower to pull.

It's boring to stay at home alone, so He He also goes to the field in the afternoon. Even if the field can't help, it's okay to help pour a bowl of water.

The paddy field allocated to his family happened to be near the foot of the mountain, and directly facing it was a small piece of bamboo forest. If it was too hot, he could go there to avoid the sun, so the family did not refuse.

When he arrived at the field, He He went up to have a look at the bamboo forest. The area is not small, and there are several types of bamboo, but it's a pity that it's not the time to grow bamboo shoots.

The bamboo forest is close to the deep mountains. When he saw the trunks of those big trees, He He stopped and did not continue to move forward. There was a small slope on the right, and wild plantains grew on the slope. Bamboo and wild plantains were both They are easy-to-grow plants, and they expand their territory accidentally.

The left side is towards the village. There are busy villagers at the foot of the mountain, which is more lively, but when you enter the bamboo forest, except for the sound of the wind and the occasional bird song from the distant mountains, it can be said to be quiet. Sometimes I don’t know what The sound of animals jumping into the grass or leaves makes people startled when they are frightened.

He He was looking at a clump of bamboo in front of him in a daze, when suddenly a black shadow of a black object flashed in the corner of his eye, followed by the rustling of dead leaves.

After being taken aback, He He didn't dare to look at what it was, and quickly turned around and ran down the mountain to the left, fearing that it might be some kind of beast.

For adventure or something, I will come again next time I pull people.

"What are you running for?"

Damn! The beast can still talk!

He He ran even harder.

"Stop! Xiao Hemiao, why are you running?" The voice changed to a roar.

"!!!" Upon hearing his own name, He He realized that the thing behind might be a person, reflexively stopped following the roar, and looked back carefully.

He He rolled his eyes indecently.

Yep, it's an acquaintance again.

"Meat, four, mud!" I was really angry, and ran away in a hurry.

It's also inexplicable for Ye Lin to be surprised by his white eyes, but he didn't expect to scare one twice in one day.

"Ni, what, it's...here." He He asked angrily.

Ye Lin took off the leaves that were sticking to his shoulders, and replied innocently, "We're already here."

Seeing the distrustful look in the other party's eyes, I had to explain again, "Really, my father and I were digging bamboo rats, and you came here. I just wanted to call you, but suddenly ran away. If you don't believe me, just come and see .”

"..." He He examined him for a while, and then followed the person half-believingly.

Bypassing the clump of bamboo before, Ye Lin's father was behind him, and a hole was dug there, and beside the hole was Ye Sen, a fat boy who was squatting and biting wild plantains.

It was only then that He He believed that what others said was correct. He was suspicious before and made a misunderstanding because he didn't see clearly.

"Oh, brother He Miao, why are you here?" Ye Sen by the pit was the first to find the extra He He, and asked inarticulately, "Do you want to eat plantains?"

"Sensen, don't eat too much. There are a lot of these seeds. Be careful and you won't be able to pull out the poop." Seeing that there were four or five plantain peels thrown on the ground, Ye Lin frowned and said to him.

Ye Sen, who was reaching out his hand to the next one, could only pout and withdraw his hand when he heard what his elder brother said, and he was still obedient and didn't eat any more.

Ye Cheng, who was busy digging the ground, also heard his son's conversation, so he stopped to take a rest and drink a sip of water before continuing, anyway, he had almost dug.

As soon as he stopped, it was Ye Lin who went down to shovel the soil. He stepped on the shovel, lifted his wrist lightly, and the shovel was picked up, and he just threw it to the side.

"Did Xiaohe scare you before? Haha, I'm sorry, there are usually fewer people here, and we didn't pay attention." Step aside to shovel the soil for his son, and after Ye Cheng drank the water, he apologized first.

This time He He already knew what he saw and heard out of the corner of his eye before, and he was a little embarrassed, but fortunately, his facial nerves are missing now, so people can't see it.

Asking the adults to apologize to him, he himself didn't see clearly that he couldn't blame others, so he shook his head quickly after hearing Ye Cheng's words.

"Bamboo...rat?" He He looked at the pit, full of curiosity.

Seeing him like this, Ye Cheng smiled heartily, "Well, the leaves of this bamboo tree are a little wilted, I looked at it, and there is indeed a hole at the bottom, if not, let's dig it out and have a look."

"Is there?" Following what the other party said, He He looked up at the bamboo leaves, and he looked a little listless, so he couldn't help asking again.

"Well, my father said yes." The one who answered him first was Ye Sen who was next to him. He obviously believed in his father's ability. Bar?"

"Little greedy cat, I'll let you do it when dad digs it at night." Ye Cheng smiled and hooked the bridge of the youngest son's nose, without objecting.

In exchange for a big smile from his youngest son, Ye Cheng felt his body was full of strength again. Isn't his hard work just to make his child show such a smile?

After Ye Lin shoveled almost all the soil he had dug out, Ye Cheng asked his eldest son to rest and he continued digging.

This time he had only hoeed a few hoes, and suddenly a "gungun" sound came out from the hole. The three little ones present still didn't understand what made the sound, but Ye Cheng already had a satisfied smile on his face.

"There's really something, haha." Ye Cheng laughed out loud as he stretched out his hand to touch his younger son's head, "Son, wait, dad caught you and add meat to eat at night."

Seeing that the elder son and the younger Hehe didn't understand, he patiently explained to them, "This sound is the sound of bamboo rats digging holes and trying to escape, digging the soil."

Only then did Ye Lin and He He understand why he laughed when they heard the voice.

"But if we don't hold on tight, maybe they will escape or dig deeper into the soil, so we have to continue digging." He said, picking up the hoe and digging vigorously in the direction of the sound.

After listening to his explanation, knowing that it was possible to see it with his own eyes, He He was also a little nervous, and his eyes were fixed on the hole below.

The more Ye Cheng dug, the more clearly he could hear the voices coming from the inside when standing on the side. Even Ye Cheng himself, the four of them were a little excited and nervous.

"Bang-"

Ye Cheng used too much force, but he didn't expect to dig a bamboo root below, and the hoe stopped immediately.But that piece of soil also fell down, and there was a hole just under the bamboo root, and something flashed through it quickly.

"There are bamboo rats! I saw it!" Ye Sen shouted, pointing at the hole.

Ye Cheng didn't bother with the hoe, and hurriedly leaned down to peek inside. It seemed that something was really moving.

Looking up to the side, he pulled a dead bamboo thick as his thumb, took the hatchet from Ye Lin and sharpened the ends with three or two strokes, then told the children to step back, and explained, "This Things like to eat tree roots, they have very sharp teeth, so be careful not to get bitten."

Both Ye Sen and He He stepped back obediently, trying to stand on tiptoes to ensure that they could see clearly later. Ye Lin didn't follow behind, but stood on the other side holding the shovel in both hands, staring at the entrance of the cave.

"If someone runs out later, don't hesitate, look for it and shoot."

Instructing the eldest son, Ye Cheng squatted down again with the bamboo stick, and first tentatively stretched the bamboo in and stirred it. Some guys are real, but I don't know how many are in there.

I thought about the bamboo in my hand and tried to push it out, but when I pushed it out, I saw a tail. When I lightened my hand, the prey flew back. I tried several times, but I couldn't push it out.

Ye Cheng took a deep breath, it seemed that he couldn't catch him alive, so he had to count.

The posture of holding the bamboo in his hand was changed to throwing, and then he stabbed hard into the hole. The feeling told him that he had hit the prey. With a smile on his face, he pulled back the bamboo. Sure enough, there was a bamboo rat with smooth fur on the other end. , this weight, a little over two catties is fine.

"Ah! I caught it." Ye Sen screamed happily when he saw the thing on the bamboo.

"Hahaha, if dad said he would catch you, he will definitely catch you, isn't it amazing?"

"Yeah!" The two little ones present looked at the bamboo mouse, their heads nodding like chickens pecking rice with sparkling eyes.

When it was brought up, the bamboo rat was still alive, its limbs were still struggling, and it didn’t hit the vital point. It was only inserted in the back thigh near the belly, so it was still twisting its body, and its mouth was always turning the other way around. Biting something that hurt it.

The few people saw what kind of bite force Ye Cheng was talking about. Turning around, their teeth clicked against the bamboo, and a piece of bamboo as thick as the little finger fell off. If a human finger can really bite through.

The faces of He He and Ye Sen turned pale, and at the same time they took a step back quietly, hoping to stay away from that little thing.

Ye Cheng looked funny, and deliberately sent the bamboo mouse to them to be funny. When he saw the two of them, they would back away in fright, so he couldn't help laughing haha.

This grown-up's bad taste is really enough!

"Father, the one inside is about to run away." It was Ye Lin who was righteous enough to interrupt his father's teasing behavior.

He felt so ashamed of his father's childish behavior, so let's save his father's great image.

"Cough!" The eldest son's words made Ye Cheng finally turn his head around. He faked a cough and took back his joke, "Kill this too, it's not easy to put away. I'll see if there is any more in it."

Putting the squirming bamboo mouse on the ground, the bamboo mouse immediately moved its limbs to escape, but was slapped down by Ye Lin with the shovel, and it didn't move for a while.

After confirming that the bamboo rat was dead, Ye Cheng pulled out the bamboo and poked it into the hole again. He took it out and saw that there was indeed another bamboo rat on it, but it was a little smaller, and it weighed more than a catty.

Ye Lin came with a shovel as before, and then put the two together. Ye Cheng didn't immediately use as much force as before, but changed to teasing. After a while, he directly reached in to take out.

After digging it out, he saw two little cubs in his hand, which had just grown a layer of light hair, crawling tightly in his palm.

They have run into a nest of bamboo rats.

Looking at the two in his hand, Ye Cheng lowered his head and asked the two younger ones, "Do you want it?"

Seeing the little thing that looked like a mouse cub, He He shook his head first. He didn't feel pressured to eat the big one, but the small one... anyway, he didn't want it.

"Can it be raised?" Ye Sen asked hesitantly.

Ye Cheng shook his head and replied sincerely, "Probably not."

"Then no more."

Seeing his father's gaze cast towards him, Ye Lin refused first, "I don't want it!"

Ye Cheng had no choice but to put them back into the cave. Whether he could live or not depended on how well they were exposed.

He pushed the soil back a little to make it smoother, grabbed a few fallen leaves and sprinkled it on it, Ye Cheng clapped his hands to indicate that it was time to go back.

I didn't come here today to dig bamboo rats...Thinking of this, Ye Cheng clapped his hands for a moment, turned his head and said to his eldest son with a mournful face, "It's over, I'm going to be scolded by you."

"...!" Ye Lin also remembered something.

The father and son looked at each other for two seconds, "Linzi, did you say that when you see the bamboo rat, will you forget to mention us?"

Dad, you better wake up, Ah Mo will only remember more clearly that we slipped up the mountain after plowing halfway.
