Chapter 57 monkey chase
The last four years of mourning, the autumnal equinox.
The rich green of the oasis seems to have dyed the stratus clouds on the horizon a little emerald green.
There is already a large-scale farmland in the valley, and barley is planted with a height of one person. At this time, the heavy blue-yellow wheat ears fell, almost crushing the thin pole.
Since the end of the funeral, the climate has changed drastically, animals and plants have been alienated one after another, and the growth cycle has changed. Otherwise, if you want to eat wheat, at least the next year will come.
And now, it won’t be long before the wheat can be harvested.
Xiao Shenwei can already walk down the ground. Although his face is still a little pale, his body is already warm.
The re-beating of the heart seemed to have injected new vitality into the young man, and Xiao Shenwei began to move around the oasis with the charcoal head on a large scale.
He loved the pounding of his heart after a strenuous exercise, as if after a long comeback, all that was left was his love for a new life.
Tantou is always interested in the vitality of the vegetable garden, and he wants to take a bite of everything he sees.
But he couldn’t beat the three Tangyuan sisters and brothers who were guarding there.
The three brothers and sisters grew so fast that they were about to catch up with the charcoal heads. They were all fierce and fierce, and they had the demeanor of adult wolves.
As for the charcoal head…
Forget it, don’t mention it…
The field was guarded by three dumplings, and the charcoal head couldn’t go in to cause trouble, but he couldn’t stop Xiao Shenwei.
Xiao Shenwei, whose body is gradually recovering, is like a bird just out of the cage, but he is struggling.
Just like now, this person is smashing arm-length ears of wheat from the wheat field, lighting a fire on the ridge, and roasting the wheat to eat.
The green-yellow bran was browned and blackened in the flames, and the grains of wheat wrapped in it exuded bursts of burnt aroma.
Xiao Shenwei grabbed the still-hot ear and rubbed a handful, and the charred bran fell off, revealing the distinct grains of wheat wrapped in it.
Then he puffed out his cheeks,
“call-”
“Pfft, cough cough…”
Bran ashes were blown all over the face.
Xiao Shenwei dropped his hands and blew a few more times, until he could hardly see any obvious ash, then he weighed his hands, stepped on the fire, and turned to walk towards the warehouse.
Over there, Rong Yunzheng and Ping Hanhai were on the small platform outside, tinkering with some semi-formed mouse traps.
Of course, calling it a mousetrap is not very strict.
In fact, it’s just a large piece of metal plate coated with some adhesive made by Ni Youqing and put some grains as bait.
The first batch of reserved seeds that had been planted earlier had already entered the warehouse, but it had attracted mice.
It was difficult for Hanamaki to be a big boss, because the mouse was two times bigger than Hanamaki.
The third sister and brother Tangyuan were too big to even enter the warehouse door.
As for the charcoal head…
Maybe he will tear down the warehouse directly.
So they can only use this most primitive way and expect the mice to be caught.
When Xiao Shenwei came over, several people were applying adhesive to the metal plate.
According to Ni Youqing, it is not a problem to use this thing for bonding of building materials.
Xiao Shenwei was not interested in that yellow-green-yellow-green sticky substance.
He came over and tugged at Rong Yun’s sleeves, then rolled his eyes and revealed a standard eight-toothed smile:
“Come on, I’ll show you a big baby.”
Rong Yun: “…?”
Xiao Shenwei pulled him to the other side of the house with his back to Ping Hanhai, flipped his hand, and held out a small handful of roasted golden wheat grains.
“Try it, it’s just baked, it’s quite fragrant.”
As he spoke, he picked up a few pills and put them to Rong Yun’s mouth.
The cool fingers touched Rong Yun’s soft lips, Xiao Shenwei’s heart skipped a beat at the touch, and he was about to withdraw his hand, but he felt another touch of dampness passing by his fingertips.
Rong Yun pursed his lips, bent his eyes and smiled: “Well, it’s delicious.”
I don’t know if it was the grain of wheat that was just delivered to my mouth or something else.
Xiao Shenwei: …
My heartbeat doesn’t seem to be normal, is it too fast?
Can’t dance for a long time?
He touched his hot face, and shoved a handful of roasted wheat grains into Rong Yun’s head: “I’ll give it to you.”
Turning to leave.
“wait.”
Rong Yun’s voice came from behind: “I forgot something.”
Xiao Shenwei froze and turned around:
“Huh? What’s wrong… um…?!”
The suddenly enlarged face in front of him and the breath so close at hand made Xiao Shenwei’s heart skip a beat.
A warm, dry hand caressed his neck, then slowly moved to the side of his cheek, rubbing his thumb.
Rong Yun held Xiao Shenwei’s face and gently pecked and kissed.
At this time, Xiao Shenwei was warm.
His eyes were dark and clear, his breath was warm, and his skin was warm and soft.
Rong Yun hugged Xiao Shenwei tightly, under his chest, he felt Xiao Shenwei’s heart beating happily under Xiao Shenwei’s still slightly low body temperature.
pounding—
pounding—
It was the most beautiful sound he had ever heard in his life.
none of them.
“Your reward.”
Rong Yun’s fingers brushed Xiao Shenwei’s wet lips and kissed Xiao Shenwei’s forehead.
Xiao Shenwei blushed and froze for a while, before looking at the back of Rong Yun leaving, blinking his eyes.
He pursed his lips and licked his lips again.
…emmmmm…
It seems to taste good.
Rubbing his face, Xiao Shenwei pressed his beating heart to calm down and followed.
A large sheet of adhesive has been pasted on the outside metal plate.
Ping Hanhai and Tang Qiu were wearing gloves and carefully and slowly applying them.
The afternoon sun is just right.
On top of Hanamaki’s head, a fluffy fat chirp squatted, basking in the sun.
Rong Yun touched a small handful of bait millet and placed it on the edge of the metal plate.
Fatty Cuixi tilted his head, fluttered his small wings and flew down from the top of Hanamaki’s head, hopping over and babbling.
No one stopped.
I couldn’t eat a few of the small things, so I went with him.
Only the charcoal head, who was lying on his stomach with his legs turned upside down, rolled over and turned over, staring at Cuixi with a strange light in his eyes.
Cui Xi talked about the millet happily, and her round, fluffy snowball-like body was bouncing on the ground.
Not far away, the dog head is staring at this place.
Cuixi was so excited to eat, she cried out “Chiu Chiu”.
The dog head took a hunting stance and licked its nose.
Cui Xi flapped her wings twice.
The dog head moved its huge body (thinking it) quietly approaching.
Cuixi sensed danger and turned around.
The dog rushed up.
The target is Tracy, who is crouching behind the mousetrap.
Faced with the charcoal head rushing over with ears and tongues, everyone showed expressions of horror.
“…You don’t come here!!”
Seeing that the dog was about to step on the adhesive, Xiao Shenwei pounced on it and grabbed the dog’s tail.
However, there is no use for anything other than dust.
The people on the opposite side were struggling to move with heavy metal plates.
Xiao Shenwei here was dragged by the dog’s tail and forced to parkour.
Seeing that Tantou’s dog paws were about to step on the adhesive, Xiao Shenwei stretched out his foot with difficulty and stumbled on Tantou’s leg.
“Ow—”
“boom-”
The dog fell and landed face first.
The bird was frightened and squatted on the roof trembling.
Xiao Shenwei looked embarrassedly at the dog whose head was resting on a pool of adhesive.
…emmmmm…
I ask you how much sorrow can you have?
Dog head stuck on mouse board?
Several people looked at the charcoal head struggling and screaming, and looked at each other.
Ni Youqing took a knife.
Xiao Shenwei: “…You stay awake! The charcoal head is not delicious! He secretly eats shit!”
Ni Youqing: “…????”
Then Ni Youqing shaved off the hair stuck to the mousetrap against the dog’s face.
Charcoal is bald and free.
It’s just that a few people looked at Charcoal’s half-bald side face and smiled so that the deer next door didn’t dare to approach.
Ugly.
Tantou was so angry that he cried and howled in the nest for two days and two nights.
But let’s not mention these for the time being, Mao, there will always be a long time.
They have more important things to do.
There is a fruit forest deep in the oasis, and the fruit is now ripe.
They plan to pull a batch out, exchange some supplies with the vegetables produced in the valley, and enrich the dining table for the people of Daxing by the way.
Leaving Ni Youqing, the researchers, and the dogs behind at the base, Xiao Shenwei and Rong Yun set out towards the depths of the oasis with their backpacks on their backs.
That piece of fruit forest is halfway up the mountain.
Ping Hanhai stepped on it.
There are no traces of large predator activity.
The fruit can be eaten, and the guinea pig is still alive and kicking after eating it.
The road in the woods is not easy to walk. The four of them set off when the sun was just dawn, and did not reach the fruit forest until three strokes in the sun.
The towering giant trees almost completely covered the sky, and the huge fruits the size of human heads fell heavily on the branches, crowded with leaves and branches.
Several monkeys of unknown species climbed on the branches and probed their brains.
Rong Yun avoided the monkey and climbed up, twisted it down, and wiped it.
This kind of red fruit, like a mutated wild apple, can be smelled with bursts of sweet and tangy aroma just in the hand.
Pulling out the dagger and cutting a piece, Rong Yun took a bite with the tip of the knife and tasted it. After confirming that there was no abnormal reaction in his body, he cut another piece for Xiao Shenwei.
The peel is so thin that it breaks when you bite into it, and the crisp and juicy pulp is sweet and fragrant.
Xiao Shenwei bit the pulp: “Damn, isn’t this a giant version of an apple?”
The four of them shared the fruit, rested for a while under the tree, and then climbed up the tree.
The ground is covered with a thick layer of dead leaves, and the fruit will not break if it falls.
So for the sake of efficiency, a few people simply rode on the branches, twisted the fruit and threw it down, and then collected it in the back basket.
Until Tang Qiu first discovered something was wrong.
There seemed to be more rustling around.
Something came around.
“Hey, did you… feel…” Tang Qiu poked Han Hai’s rib with his elbow.
Ping Hanhai still bit a piece of grass stem in his mouth, and threw the fruit down: “What?”
Xiao Shenwei pushed his glasses: “Monkey.”
“Um??”
“Monkey.” Xiao Shenwei pointed to the pair of green eyes and the moving monkey head not far away: “A lot.”
Ping Hanhai & Tang Qiu: “…”
Rong Yun: “…We broke into their territory.”
The fruit in Tang Qiu’s hand fell to the ground: “…and robbed their food.”
Ping Hanhai: “It’s over, it’s time to poke the monkey’s nest.”
Xiao Shenwei looked at the leader who bared his teeth and swallowed: “…Run!!”
“Squeaky-”
“Squeak ooh ooh- ooh ooh-”
Wuyang Wuyang A group of monkeys screamed and kept throwing things from the trees.
The four of them held their heads in embarrassment.
“call out-”
A round thing flew over.
Xiao Shenwei raised his hand and caught it.
– An egg of unknown species.
Taking advantage of the escape, Xiao Shenwei asked Rong Yun, “Is this delicious?”
Rong Yun: “…It’s delicious.”
Xiao Shenwei nodded and hid the bird eggs in the inner pocket of his clothes.
The four who were chased and killed by the monkey man oasis fled in the woodland until they crossed a river and almost got close to the edge of the oasis.
Several people slumped on the ground almost exhausted, looked at each other, and laughed at the same time.
…Yes, I lost my wife and lost my army, and the baskets we made are still in the orchard.
Several people who have achieved nothing and achieved negative growth in assets plan to go home.
Only Xiao Shenwei squatted down, lowered his eyes, and looked at a dark trace on the gravel beach under his feet.
“What’s the matter, Xiao Xiao, let’s go?”
Tang Qiu said.
“…blood.”
Xiao Shenwei twisted it a little, showing a striking red mark on his fingertips: “It’s fresh.”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The first and second subjects of UGC are not cool, but the third subject is cool?
as the saying goes,
In my last life, I killed pigs and taught in this life. In my last life, I killed pigs and taught Chinese in this life.
Well, that’s right, the one that gets cold is the knowledge of Chinese…
As for level six…
Anyway, the exam questions are clearly printed, the teacher is very kind, and the invigilator has a great attitude. It’s worth the money to spend 25 yuan for such a great service. Five-star praise, and will come again next year!
kindness!
