Solstice Secrets

In order to eat that sweet and delicious dessert again, the little mouse accepted Ling Dongzhi's commission without hesitation.However, after leaving the cave, it regretted it.

The stone was heavy, almost as heavy as its whole body.The straw rope was very long and tough, and it was wrapped around its thin neck many times. After running, it became tighter and tighter, and it was almost out of breath.Moreover, the tassels hanging from the stone tripped it several times.

Dandan hadn't climbed the hillside yet, her limbs twitched from exhaustion, and she lay down in the grass nest by the roadside and couldn't get up.Counting from its birth, this was the first time it was so tired.This made it a little annoyed. If it had known that the stone was so heavy, it should have gone back to find rice balls.Mi Tuan is bigger and stronger than him.Maybe I shouldn't have promised so happily, is the sweet snack worth it compared with the hard work it has put in now?

Eggy's mind is full of sweet snacks, but he didn't expect the danger to fall from the sky.When it found that the surroundings were filled with a dangerous smell, it had already been pressed to the ground by a powerful claw.

What's happening here? !

Eggy was so frightened that she almost lost her soul, "Squeak?"

In the night, a black shadow slowly came around from behind. A pair of crystal clear blue eyes looked at Eggy up and down, and shook his head with some regret, "It's too small, how can it be full for such a small head."

Eggy was trembling all over, begging for mercy, "Yes, yes, I'm still young, don't... don't eat me."

Behind the gray-black shadow came a brown-black civet cat. It flicked its tail disinterestedly, "Forget it, little one, it's too small for us to share."

"It's better than nothing." Xiao Mian'er was unconvinced, "If you can't finish your mouth, I'll eat it first." As he spoke, he frightened the paralyzed little mouse with his paws, "Although it's small, it's still quite fat ……wrong!"

Xiao Hui and the servant were startled by its sudden raised voice, "What's the matter?"

Small sample leaned on Eggy's back and sniffed it vigorously, "This smell...how is it possible...you all come here and smell it, it's the smell of the winter solstice."

"what?"

"It's really... the taste of the winter solstice..."

Xiao Mao turned the little mouse over impatiently, "Hey, where did you meet the winter solstice? Why do you smell like him?"

The poor little mouse was overturned by the cat's slap, and he turned two somersaults on the ground before stopping. His internal organs were about to be vomited out from the stone under his belly, so he couldn't speak.

Xiao Hui held down the irritable little boy, and meowed at the little mouse with a pleasant face, "Don't worry, we won't eat you, but you have to answer our questions honestly."

The little mouse lay on the ground and rolled his eyes.

The servant was also anxious, "You are too anxious, little man, if you want to kill it, let's ask someone. Hey, are you all right?"

Eggy is about to cry.Is this all right?It's falling apart!

Xiao Hui glanced at the impetuous Xiao Yang in warning, walked over slowly, and carefully touched the testicles with his paw.As soon as Eggy moved, the stone next to it was exposed.Xiao Hui looked at the thing wrapped around its neck in surprise, leaned over and smelled it, the cat's eyes showed surprise, "Who gave you this thing?"

Eggy cried twice weakly, "It's the man who gave me snacks."

Xiao Hui reminded it, "Tall, smiling when talking?"

Eggy nodded with tears in her eyes.Compared with the three ferocious big cats, dragging stones on the road is weak!

The servant was anxious, "Why did you see him, where is he now?"

Xiao Hui raised his paw and pulled it aside, and continued to interrogate the little mouse with a pleasant face, "He gave you this thing?"

Eggy shrank back, shaking her head and nodded.Why does it think this blue-eyed gray cat is more terrifying than the other two companions?It seems that the gray cat it encountered on the way to find snacks was this one. At that time, it was huddled in a deep grass nest. The cat seemed to glance at it, but did not come to catch it...

Can you really hide from the first day of the junior high school but not the fifteenth day? !

Xiao Hui grinned at it kindly, "When did he give it to you? Why did he give it to you?"

"I gave it just now," Eggy looked at it pitifully. "He wanted me to find rice balls and give this to his relatives. Because he was arrested..."

"What?!" several cats yelled together.

Eggy trembled in fright, and shrank back a few steps shaking her hands and feet.

"He's in the cave dwelling in the valley ahead, his paws are all tied up," Eggy raised a small paw and pointed to the direction it came from, "Many people are carrying shotguns."

The three cats looked at each other.

"The winter solstice is in danger." Xiaohui tapped his paw lightly on the ground, "Little things lead the way, I'll go to see the winter solstice. You two run fast, take the things of the winter solstice back to find Brown Tang and its daddy, let them Come and help." Xiao Hui said, pulling the thing off the little mouse's neck with its paws, and hanging it around the little mouse's neck, "I will leave marks along the way. Little boy, master, you must hurry up. OK."

Xiao Yang nodded, picked up the stone and ran quickly along the way he came.The servant turned his head to look at the little mouse that was huddled aside, then at Xiao Hui, and ran away after chasing the figure of the little boy.

Xiao Hui looked down at the shivering little mouse, "Okay, kid, now take me to the place where Winter Solstice is locked up."

Eggy didn't dare to say no, she shook her paws and began to lead the way.There is only one ferocious big cat left here. Although it looks smiling, that doesn't negate the fact that it is actually a cat.And there are only two of them left in this open field, and no one will know if they are eaten.

Xiao Hui felt that its legs and feet were probably weakened by fright.This can't work, you can't walk fast at all.

"Don't worry, we won't hurt the friends of Dongzhi." Xiao Hui tried to reassure it, "Because we are also friends of Dongzhi. By the way, what's your name?"

Eggy's little paw trembled, "Eggy... Eggy."

"Your name is...Eggy?" Xiao Hui was puzzled, what's your name?Also three words.

Eggy burst into tears.

The man who gave it snacks gave it a name, not a nickname!

Xiao Hui was defeated by its sad eyes, and explained with a little guilt, "Don't be afraid, I really don't want to eat you."

Dandan sniffled, "My name is Dandan. It's the person you mentioned, the winter solstice named me."

Xiao Hui twitched the corner of his mouth, and praised against his will, "This name is so cute."

Eggy's mung bean eyes finally lighted up a little, "Really?"

Xiaohui ground her molars, "Really."

Eggy finally felt a little happier, "Let's go, I'll take you there."

"You can just show me the way, it's too slow to follow you." Xiao Hui rubbed his paws on the ground, opened his mouth to grab Eggy, and sprinted out in the direction it came from.

Eggy was frightened out of his wits by its sudden movement, until he realized that it had no further movement, and then slowly returned to his senses.Although the big cat looks scary, it seems that it really has no intention of eating it.And running with it in its mouth is indeed much faster than running around with its four short legs.

What a fantastic experience.Eggy thought, it would be considered material when bragging to his brothers and sisters in the future.

Fortunately, Xiao Maoer and his servants rushed to the mountain temple from the village, and followed the scent from the mountain temple to come here.Neither of them knew of any other route back to the village.If they took a shortcut and hurried back to Shiliu Village, they would just bypass Zhuangzhou and the others.

From a distance, he noticed movement in the mountain temple, and Xiao Maoer and his servant became excited.The two cats ran up the wall one after the other, looking inside.If they are really acquaintances, they will go in. If not, they will not be so reckless.

In the main hall, brown sugar, who was sleeping soundly by the warm fire, jumped up from the ground, startling everyone else.Before Zhuang Zhou could ask what's the matter, Brown Tang rushed to the entrance of the main hall like crazy, scratching and trying to push the gate open, and whining anxiously.Zhuang Zhou quickly stood up and walked over to push the door open for it. Brown Tang squeezed out before the door was pushed open, whining in the direction of the corner.

Under the bright moonlight, the two kittens stepped lightly on the red tiles on the wall, their round eyes shining brightly, just like those spirits with supernatural powers in the legends.

Brown Sugar barked angrily, "Traitor! Bad guy! Disrespectful!"

The servant reassured it without sincerity, "Hey, we're just looking for the way, just looking for the way. Isn't this back. Meow."

Brown Tang jumped up, put his paws on the wall and continued to growl, "Run away without saying a word, I'm worried, I won't give you yogurt anymore! Stop the jerky too!"

The little man had already figured out its virtue of being tough on the outside and soft on the inside, and jumped off the wall, stepping on the brown sugar dog's head as a stepping stone, then rushed straight to Zhuang Zhou's feet, tugging at his trousers, meow meow cried out.

Zhuang Zhou picked it up by its front paws in great surprise, "Where did it go? What is this?" He curiously pinched the thing hanging around Xiao Xiang'er's neck.

The people in the main hall were also attracted by this commotion. Ling Dongzhi's cousin had seen these two cats before, and now it was very strange to see them running back by themselves.Seeing the stone hanging around the cat's neck, I couldn't help but screamed, "This is something from the winter solstice, the rope that Sanya wove... Where did you find it?!"

Although Zhuang Zhou had a premonition in his heart, he was really surprised when he heard him say that, "Did you find Dong Zhi? Where was he taken?"

The little boy turned his head and meowed at Brown Tang and the servant on the wall a few times. Brown Tang walked over unwillingly flicking his tail, and the servant also jumped off the wall. Their eyes flickered and looked at Zhuang Zhou together.

Zhuang Zhou, "..."

The big cousin looked at the three animals huddled together in a strange posture, and asked hesitantly: "What does this mean? Sitting in a crowded pile... There are a lot of them?"

The three small animals spread out, and the little boy raised a paw towards the brown sugar, and let out a meow.Brown Tang fell to the ground with a slap, his legs twitched, his big tongue was dragged out and tilted to one side.

Zhuang Zhou, "..."

The big cousin immediately understood, "They have guns?!"

Brown Tang got up in a jiffy, and his big tail swished out of the wind.With a look of begging for praise, he leaned over to rub against its father.Zhuang Zhou patted its head, and felt for the first time that his silly son was actually quite thoughtful.

The surprised expression on the uncle's face has not faded away, and his eyes have become serious, "This season haunts the mountains, and there are guns in hand, so it's right that they are poachers. Let's plan carefully." Turning to ask the two kittens, "Do you know where they are?"

The little guy licked his paw, "Meow."

"The police will go up the mountain tomorrow, and Lao Wu will bring people back to the village to meet him," said the uncle, "Mr. Zhuang and I will go over there first to check the situation. Then you will follow the signs."

A short man repeatedly agreed.

Zhuang Zhou also nodded and said, "When shall we leave?"

"It will be dawn in two hours, and then we will leave." The uncle looked at his watch and comforted him, saying, "Don't underestimate these cats and dogs, they are spiritual after being kept around people for a long time. "

Zhuangzhou was very anxious, but he also knew that it was useless to act in this mountain.

The uncle squatted down and touched Xiao Xiang'er's head, and said with emotion, "The old man said that those who are kind-hearted are blessed. The winter solstice is kind-hearted, no wonder the animals help him. Don't worry, we will definitely rescue him. "

The little guy licked his finger and called out softly, "Meow."
