Cross-country exchange

Xia Yu turned around and found nothing but a small pile of fruit shells.He walked into the cave and opened the hidden can, and sure enough, as he expected, there was less meat inside.

It didn't take long for him to go back and forth. He didn't expect that the stealer was extremely fast. He was able to steal the meat in a short period of time and at the same time close the lid of the can very well, as if he was walking away. It was pretty much covered before.

Xia Yu pondered for a while, planning to come again the next day.

As a result, the next day, the weather was not good, and there was a heavy rainstorm. This was the first heavy rainstorm since summer. The rain continued and the temperature dropped a lot.Xia Yu saw that the dirt road was difficult to walk, so he gave up going to the mountain to catch thieves, and worked at home with peace of mind.

Both the pig zodiac and the sheep zodiac have been carved. Next, Xia Yu chose a tiger that is full of vigor.He conceived in his mind for a moment before starting to move the knife.

This engraving lasted for several days, the rain outside had stopped long ago, and the temperature only buffered for a few days before rising all the way up.When Xia Yu thought of the food thieves on the mountain, most of the marinated meat in the jar was about to bottom out.

Xia Yu returned home and picked up some necessary tools for hunting that he had spent the past few days remodeling, and ran up the mountain with them.While it was still dark, he arranged around a bit, and then ignited the fire in the cave with great fanfare. After setting up the two shelves, he took out a few slices of meat that had been marinated before from the can, and divided it into pieces. They were skewered one by one, put on the grill and grilled, keeping an eye on the size of the flame, and then rolled the meat back and forth.

In the entire cave, the sound of "Zi Zi Zi" was heard as the meat was grilled.

Not long after, a smell of meat spread in the cave, and the mouth-watering aroma could be smelled in the air.Xia Yu sprinkled some spices on top of the meat. After the meat was cooked, he put it aside, and then continued to grill another skewer of meat slices.

The barbecue was going on all the time, and Xia Yu would occasionally take out a bunch of roasted meat and put it under the tip of his nose to sniff it twice, try a bite or two, and let out a big sigh of emotion, "It's delicious."

A pair of red eyes outside just stared at the piece of meat in Xia Yu's hand, and the saliva couldn't stop drooling.

Just when Xia Yu ate the fifth skewer of meat, a scream of an animal suddenly came from outside the cave.

Xia Yu immediately extinguished the flames, and ran out to see that a snow-white monkey had its hind legs covered by a noose, grinning in pain, and its two front paws were trying to tear off the rope around his feet.Seeing Xia Yu approaching, it immediately waved its hands fiercely at Xia Yu and let out a low growl.

Xia Yu put his arms around his chest, and looked at the white monkey in front of him curiously. It was different from the monkeys he had seen before. The eyes of this monkey were bewitching red, and there was a golden light in the blood red. It's not that it's getting dark.

"Squeak squeak."

The strength of the white monkey was very strong, every time when he was about to tear off the noose, he let go, and the rope bounced back to his hind legs, tightening a bit, causing him to jump and scream in pain.

Xia Yu looked at it amusedly, this noose was borrowed from Luo Liangna on purpose, in the pretense of saying that he wanted to make an identical one, but in fact it was used to deal with the thieves, before coming, Xia Yu also It was specially modified to make the rope tighter and more elastic, and a double rope set was installed at the same time.Take off one, no, you must take off the two nooses at the same time.

The white monkey was desperately struggling with the noose, while Xia Yu went back to the cave for a while, took out several skewers of meat, and sat on the floor facing the white monkey, eating with enjoyment.

Seeing the meat, the white monkey struggled less and less frequently, staring at Xia Yu with a pair of weird eyes, and protested with a squeak, and finally just imitated Xia Yu, sitting on the ground, watching Follow him to eat.

Xia Yu was amused by his reaction, and put a piece of meat some distance away from him and said, "Want to eat?"

The white monkey was drooling because of his greed, and just stared at him. Just as he stretched out his paw, Xia Yu withdrew his hand again and threw the piece of meat into his mouth.

The white monkey realized later that he was being teased, and immediately stood up and grinned at Xia Yu, his red eyes becoming more and more alluring.

Xia Yu clapped his hands and said, "As your punishment for stealing bacon, obediently guard the cave here, and if you are obedient, I will find you something to eat."

After speaking, Xia Yu threw a piece of meat to it.

The white monkey has been struggling, jumping and jumping, expending a lot of energy, and now it sits and eats obediently after receiving the meat slices, the posture is exactly the same as when Xia Yu was eating just now, and its two small eyes are looking at Xia Yu sneakily.

After Xia Yu extinguished the flames, he sprinkled some water in the cave to get rid of the smell of smoke in the cave, sealed all the remaining meat in earthen pots, and went down the mountain.

In the next few days, Xia Yu would take a little time from time to time to go up the mountain to look at the white monkey and bring him some wild fruits. To his surprise, the white monkey stopped struggling, as if he knew that he could not struggle Beast trap, he simply ate and slept outside the cave. After a few days, his body gained weight and his hair shone.

The only thing that made him feel funny was that when he was holding the crock pot and was about to leave, the white monkey jumped up and down, with its mouth wide open, and its eyes were fixed on the crock pot.

"You thief monkey, with such a tricky mouth, who can afford you, I will let you go today, so you can do it yourself." Xia Yu really opened the trap.

The white monkey stared blankly for a while, but didn't move. It scratched its head and looked at Xia Yu suspiciously.

Xia Yu said, "Go back wherever you came from."

The meat in the crock was originally intended to be traded, but the white monkey took more than half of it. He grilled a few pieces, but there was not much left.He thought about going to the county seat tomorrow, so he took the crock pot with him to see if the bacon could catch anyone's eyes.

Xia Yu went all the way down the mountain, and the white monkey followed him all the way, probably because he had been bound by a noose for a long time, and one of his legs was still weak, so he wobbled and limped when he walked.

"Go back quickly, if someone from the village sees you, they will probably be locked up again." Xia Yu reprimanded coldly.

The white monkey scratched its head, scratched its body, and didn't know whether it understood or not, but it stopped following. It didn't turn around until it couldn't see Xia Yu.

Xia Yu went to the county town to sell vegetables with Xia's father. At that time, there was still no light in the sky, and the handicraft workshop must have not opened yet, so Xia Yu patiently sold vegetables on the sidelines.

The vegetable shop next door was still the same Grandma Liu, who glanced at Xia Yu from time to time.

Xia Yu pretended not to notice that Li Mo's story had spread widely. Not only Li Zhuang and Hexi Village, but people in the next few villages generally knew that there was a man who was wearing a big green hat before he got married.Recently, the eyes of people around him have changed, showing sympathy, pity, and even some eyes that he doesn't understand.

In his opinion, Li Mo's matter was not a big deal.When he met Li Mo for the first time, he felt that Li Mo was not very satisfied with him. At that time, he thought like his parents that the relationship can be cultivated slowly in the future. If he had known that Li Mo would treat him like this If he regretted the marriage in such a decisive way, he should stand up and reject this relative earlier, which is better than the current situation of being unable to advance or retreat.However, Xia Yu was even more worried about Father and Grandma. After all, their thoughts belonged to the stubborn school, and they might not be able to accept so many rumors all at once.

Xia Yu was really worried. After returning from Lizhuang, Xia's grandma and grandpa stayed up all night and discussed it. They planned to find another relative for Xia Yu as quickly as possible. The sooner they got engaged, the better. Use happy events to dilute those bullshit things, so that people around you can forget what happened to your kid.

Unfortunately, Xia Yu didn't know that this time he was still selling vegetables. As long as he was passing by, he would strongly recommend the marinated ground meat in a can, but most people may have never seen it before. He left without interest.

Xia Yu also had the attitude of trying before, and he was not disappointed when no one appreciated it.It's just that after selling the vegetables, he asked Father Xia's family to go home first.I went to the handicraft workshop with my things again, and Feng Yang was alone in the shop in a daze.After Xia Yu asked, he found out that Mr. Feng had gone on a long journey, and it might take half a month.

After Xia Yu put down the carved sheep zodiac, he asked Feng Yang to keep it carefully and left.

It has been almost a month since the last time I went to the blacksmith's shop. Xia Yu was thinking about his carving knife and wanted to see the progress of Brother Ruoshu, so he turned to the blacksmith's shop.

From a distance, he saw a little brother sitting at the door of the blacksmith shop, with his head buried and not knowing what he was doing.

"Brother Ruoshu." Xia Yu stood outside the door of the iron shop and called out.

Tie Ruoshu immediately put down what he was doing, and came out a little excitedly, "Brother Xia Yu, you are here. Come on, brother Xie is looking for you like crazy, what's the matter with you two?" Let's have a good talk, don't let others down because of a little thing."

"Brother Xie, come on, I have found the person you are looking for. If you have anything to do, talk to little brother Xia Yu."

Xia Yu was confused when he heard that, and when he turned around, he met those big watery eyes. The person sitting buried in the door of the iron shop just now was the little brother he saved from a group of bullies last time. You." A few days ago, he was still worried about this little brother, really thinking about what to do.

When Xie Yun saw Xia Yu, his face turned red. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Xia Yu's sleeve and dragged him aside. He said very gently, "Thank you for what happened last time. Without you, I wouldn't know about it." What will happen..."

Speaking of Xie Yun, he was afraid for a while. When Xia Yu retreated from the alley, he was really desperate.I didn't expect this person to come back again. No, it should be because he never planned to die.

Xia Yu has never seen such a slender and weak little brother. His voice is as soft as a spring breeze, which makes people's bones weak when they hear it. "You're welcome." Then he asked again, "Did that group of people trouble you again?"

Xie Yun shook his head immediately, and stared directly at Xia Yu with watery eyes, "No more. You, were you injured last time? I've been waiting for you here for a long time, but you didn't come. I'm worried about you."

The soft-spoken words suddenly hit Xia Yu's heart, Xia Yu froze for a moment, feeling a little complicated, growing up so old, except for the master, except for the Xia family, no one had ever said anything to worry about him.

Before Xia Yu could answer, Xie Yun stretched out his hand and delivered the prepared medicine to him, "Here, this one is for you."

Xia Yu took it, opened it and smelled it. It was an ordinary hemostatic medicine. Xie Yun looked at him nervously.Xia Yu smiled, took Xie Yun's soft little hand and put it back, "Thank you for your kindness, I am not injured, so these things are unnecessary."

"Really." Xie Yun's eyes brightened all of a sudden, and he said in a low voice, "That's great." Suddenly he thought of something, pulled Xia Yu closer, and tiptoed to Xia Yu's ear.The warm breath spread over Xia Yu's neck. Xia Yu had never tried to get so close to a brother. He turned his head slightly and saw the spring light on Xie Yun's neck.

"Are you free now, I want to take you to a place."
