Sourness

On the day Jing Rong left Baoji, the master and apprentice also set off with a group of furries traveling in a group.

After they went down the mountain, they didn't stop at Qingshui Town.That night, Mi Yue detoured to a mountain village called Majiayu under Lin Qingshan's guidance, and stayed at the home of a local Orion family.

Orion's surname is Ma, and he is older than Lin Qingshan. Besides himself, there are several fat and strong dogs in the family.

When the guests walked into the yard, the big dogs were all chained up, stretching out their necks one by one, grunting and acting like a baby at the master, and trying to pounce on the guests.

Miyue heard them muttering about which guest looked familiar, and which one was their first time visiting their house... She just wanted to laugh, but Da Mao and Little Pearl were terrified, wishing they could pat each other like Xiao Mao. Wings fly away.

Da Mao ran directly into Mi Yue's arms, while Little Pearl anxiously grabbed Mi Yue's trouser legs, trying to climb up along his trousers.

Mi Yue had no choice but to pick up this one as well, holding them both in her arms.

Lin Qingshan and Uncle Orion walked in front, and they didn't forget to turn around and laugh at the apprentice who looked like a nanny, while Mi Yue reluctantly stayed to explain to the dogs. After all, from the perspective of the dogs, Da Mao and Little Pearl's reaction was also very hurtful... hurtful to the dog.

"This... I'm sorry," Miyue stopped two meters away from the dog fence, concerned about her companion's feelings, and explained politely: "My Da Mao was bitten by a very vicious big dog before. However, this is a little pearl, and it was often chased by hunting dogs when it was in the mountains...so please be more considerate."

Five or six big dogs squeezed over and carefully looked at the frightened little animal in his arms. The leader was the biggest and most powerful looking big dog with a look of suspicion, "cough, cough, this... ...There is no other way, if we really want to go to the mountains, we have to obey the master's order."

Miyue also understands this, otherwise why would Orion keep hunting dogs.

"It can't be said that you are at fault." Miyue had no other choice, so she had no choice but to make peace, "Let's treat it as a short truce during the war between the two armies."

The dogs agreed.

They are also not happy to hunt in their own yards.Besides, people in the village praised them for their mightiness. It would be shameless for them to hunt a bald monkey and a shivering little fox cub for such mighty ones.

And since you have entered the gate of their house, you are a guest at home, and the personal safety of people (monkeys? foxes?) must also be protected by them.

Mi Yue mediated on both sides, and finally the little animals reached a consensus.The dogs volunteered to play in the nearby woods with Big Mao and Little Pearl.

Da Mao has deep-rooted trust in Mi Yue, Mi Yue said don't be afraid, the dogs won't hurt him, Da Mao completely relaxed, while Little Pearl was completely infected by Da Mao's reaction.

In its simple world view, the one with the most meat is usually the one that is prioritized by hunters.

Compared with Da Mao\, it is of course thin and small.Since the targets of the first sequence are not afraid of being bitten, Little Pearl feels that she doesn't have to worry.

When Miyue followed the big dogs across the yard, she realized that she seemed... to have made her own way, and hurried to the door of the main room and shouted, "Uncle Ma, I let the dogs go to play!"

Uncle Ma still knew his big dogs well, and replied, "Let's play, don't be afraid, they have been trained and won't bite people casually."

Mi Yue ran to the backyard with the big dogs at ease, and then followed the fence gate of the backyard to the woods behind the village.

Although it has been agreed to play together, there will be conflicts between strange children from time to time, Mi Yue thinks it is better for him as a parent to watch from the sidelines.

In the main room, Uncle Ma asked Lin Qingshan to sit down, and entertained the guests with his own wild tea.

Lin Qingshan was not too polite, and asked directly after two sips, "This year's taste is better than previous years, do you have more? Take some away for me."

Uncle Ma smiled until his eyes narrowed, "Yes, yes, I will pack two bags for you when you leave."

Lin Qingshan asked again, "The thing I asked you to inquire about last time..."

Uncle Ma looked outside the courtyard, lowered his voice very vigilantly, and said, "I've inquired. In addition to our village, there is also the Jinhua Village behind. Someone has looked for it. But it's not the same person."

Lin Qingshan looked solemn, "Is the surname Zhao?"

Uncle Ma shook his head, "One's surname is Zhou, and the other's surname is Cheng. They are both strong men in their forties. Their routines are similar, and they all have friendship with someone in the village who has gone out to work, so I think there is a way for us to work together. To get rich, you can feel more at ease looking for a familiar brother... It's all the same way."

Lin Qingshan nodded, this was almost the same as what he had inquired about before.

Uncle Ma said again: "The man surnamed Zhou came to our village. He knew a young man named Shitou from our village. Shitou knew the grandson of the village chief's family well, so I wanted to drag him into this matter... The village chief found out. Didn’t you tell the village chief about these things last time? So the village chief called these young people together and scolded them.”

Lin Qingshan nodded, secretly thinking of such a thing, he has to go to the village chief's house to sit down later.

"This matter in our village is so dirty. The village chief took Lao Zhou to a meal politely and sent him away. Before this man left, he sneaked to my house to win him over. I... I bah!"

Uncle Ma said a little breathlessly: "Are you saying that you are angry?"

Lin Qingshan laughed, "The village chief did the right thing. Why offend such a villain for no reason?"

Uncle Ma is also an elderly person, and he knows the truth of "it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain".But this feeling of being tricked into someone's head and having delicious treats... really suffocating.

"Where is Jinhua Village?"

Uncle Ma hurriedly said: "Hey, I almost forgot about them... The village head and the head of Jinhua Village also talked on the phone. At that time, the head of Jinhua Village promised well that he would control the people in his village, but I After inquiring around, they all said that there was a man surnamed Cheng who came back as a guest with a man from their village who went to work in Baoji."

He picked up the teapot and filled Lin Qingshan's cup with water, and continued: "This man surnamed Cheng lived in the village for a few days, and then left with a few brothers from the village."

"Didn't say what to do?" Lin Qingshan asked him.

Uncle Ma scratched his head, "It is said that it is for transportation, and it is for a big company to deliver goods... This is a rumor from one villager to another. I can't tell if it is true or not."

Lin Qingshan felt that there was nothing wrong with this, it must be fake.Even if these guys in the mountains can drive, they haven't taken the driver's license test in a big city. Will the transportation company pay to send them for the test?

Impossible to think about.

Maybe they were tricked away in the name of auxiliary work...

Lin Qingshan said: "I'll stay for one more day and go to Jinhua Village tomorrow."

Uncle Ma thought for a while, "It's okay. There are a few young people in their village who came back from outside, and they all have mobile phones. Maybe someone else took pictures of these people."

Lin Qingshan also thought of this level.

Maybe the person who came to Majiayu was photographed by someone in the village.Wait a minute but ask carefully.

In the woods in the backyard, the big dogs ran around happily, and two of them chased the big fur to the tree trunk, stood up and put their front paws on the tree trunk, and groaned at the big fur that jumped up the tree, thinking it was playing tricks.

After talking about the race, how can you run up the tree while running?This is too foul.

The big dog protested in vain, turned his head and wagged his tail pitifully at Mi Yue, and motioned him to look up the tree with his eyes.

Mi Yue suppressed a smile, "It can't control itself, because it's good at climbing trees, so when it's racing against you, it jumps up in a hurry... It didn't mean to play tricks on purpose."

The big dog tilted its head and looked at him, seriously suspecting that this beautiful human being was fooling them.

"Really," Mi Yue pointed to the little Pearl who was running in front of her and rolled her eyes, "Little Pearl can't climb trees, no matter how anxious she is, she will only run on the ground... If Da Mao wanted to play tricks, he would definitely take her to climb trees with her." .Really, it was just a careless one, and it just... jumped up."

After Mi Yue finished speaking, she felt a little blushed.

He is blatantly helping relatives but not helping.

"Of course, I will criticize Da Mao." Mi Yue coughed dryly to cover up, "I will talk to him about obeying the rules of the competition."

The big dogs got the answer they wanted, and ran back to the second round contentedly.In the second round of the competition, Da Mao, the cheater, had already been eliminated.

When the group of big dogs roared past under the tree, Da Mao slipped down with lingering fear.

He knew in his heart that they were partners and were playing together, but the conditioned reflex of his body was really irresistible. Seeing a dog chasing him, Da Mao couldn't hold back the urge to climb the tree.

Mi Yue touched him comfortingly, and then hugged the little Pearl who was about to collapse from running away.This solid-eyed kid played games with the big dogs for the first time, and he was trembling all the way.

It's a pity that its short legs have no advantage at all, and the big dog threw it behind with a light leap.

Little Pearl stuck out her tongue and said, "I heard them talking bad about us!"

Mi Yue couldn't help laughing, "What bad words?"

"They say that people from outside are not real, and they always try to deceive them from the mountains."

Mi Yue was slightly startled, "What kind of outsider?"

"The big dog said it." Little Pearl changed her position in his arms, and let out a comfortable breath, "They said that there was an unreal person in the village before, and they wanted to trick Uncle Ma into making a fortune with him."

Mi Yue frowned, "Why make a fortune?"

Little Pearl didn't know much about human society, so she huddled in his arms in confusion and said, "It's... just getting rich."

Mi Yue also quickly realized that she had asked a question, "Did the dog say where this person is now?"

It knows this problem!

Little Pearl cheered up, "The village head grandpa invited him to dinner and drove him away."

It doesn't understand human behavior patterns, so it's also a little confused, "Why do you want to treat people to dinner before driving them away?"

Miyue felt that the amount of information contained in these few sentences was quite large, "Well, I just... want to drive him away, but don't want to offend him, so as to prevent him from doing bad things in the village."

Little Pearl seems to understand.

Da Mao knew better, "It's because this person is more powerful."

Mi Yue patted its head, "What you said makes sense."

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the relationship behind this person is very complicated.It is so complicated that it may make a small mountain village feel uneasy.

The author has something to say:

Big Dog: The people outside you are not real~

Miyue: Everyone is very honest...really~~

Big Dog: I heard that when you human beings emphasize "truth", what you say is all lies~

Mi Yue: ...
