Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 12
Niu Huahua shuddered involuntarily after hearing the gasp, and said in a crying voice, "I, I must have encountered a monster... What, what should I do..."

"boom--"

Xiaoqiang threw a stone from the pit, and it hit the tree trunk with a muffled sound.

Niu Huahua was frightened, she wanted to turn around and run away, but her legs were no longer in control, she knelt down on the ground, crying loudly: "Dad... Mom... I'm afraid ..."

"What, what is this...?"

Niu Xiaoqiang was terrified when he heard the cries. He took two steps back, leaned his back against the wall of the pit and raised the shovel, trying to pretend that he was very powerful.But his trembling body betrayed him. As long as he is not blind, he can see that Xiaoqiang's classmate is terrified at this moment.

There was only a distance of about twenty meters between the two parties, so Niu Huahua's cry was still very clear. Niu Xiaoqiang listened to it for a while, trembling, and suddenly he was taken aback, thinking: It sounds like Niu Huahua is crying , but... why did she run up the mountain at night?No, it can't be her, this must be a ghost in disguise, trying to lure me into being fooled.

The theory of ghosts and gods is still popular among the people, especially in rural areas, where superstition is very serious.Although Niu Xiaoqiang received a materialist education in school, he was influenced by the villagers' ears and eyes.The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a trick of the wronged soul, but he didn't dare to climb out of the pit to verify it.

"Hua Hua, where are you?"

Niu Xiaodong's voice came from afar.After he escaped just now, he realized that the watermelon he had finally stolen was still in Niu Huahua's hands.Niu Xiaodong felt that he couldn't work in vain, so he squatted at the intersection, planning to wait until Niu Huahua went down the mountain before sharing the melons.

But he waited and waited until he found Niu Xiaoyong, and he didn't even see a hair of Niu Huahua.Together, the two felt that Niu Huahua could not be allowed to eat alone, so they followed the mountain road to find it.

"Well, you Niu Xiaodong! You actually left me just now!"

When Niu Huahua heard the shout, she was both happy and angry, and hurriedly stood up to meet her.

Only then did Niu Xiaoqiang, who was hiding in the pit, be sure that the other party was not a wronged soul, but a living person.He was very puzzled by Niu Huahua and the National People's Congress who came to the mountain at night. In order to find out the situation, Niu Xiaoqiang secretly climbed out of the pit and followed.

After the three comrades-in-arms met, Niu Xiaoyong couldn't help hesitating: "Huahua, why are you crying? Did you get scared?"

Of course, Niu Huahua couldn't reveal the fact that she was scared to cry, she retorted loudly with some overreaction: "Fart! Am I that timid?"

Niu Xiaoyong asked the bottom line: "Then why are you crying?"

"I... I accidentally fell when I was escaping just now. In order to protect the hard-won victory, I put my life on the line and hugged the watermelon tightly in my arms. It turned out that the watermelon was fine, but I was hurt by the fall."

When the two heard that their comrades in arms were so brave, they immediately gave a thumbs up and praised Niu Huahua:
"Huahua, you are amazing!"

"Don't say anything, I will definitely vote for you next time when our class elects class cadres!"

Niu Xiaoqiang, who was not far away, understood the situation after hearing the conversation. He thought to himself: So these three guys came out to steal melons. Let me just say, why did they run away if they didn’t stay at home in the middle of the night to enjoy the shade? When you come to the mountains, your feelings are for sneaking.

Niu Xiaoqiang thought again: They did me a lot of harm during the three afternoons, I can't let them go no matter what, um... yes.

"Huahua, in order to commend you and let you continue to maintain this fearless spirit of sacrifice in future revolutionary work, the Red Scarf Squad of Niujia Village specially allows you to eat the largest portion of watermelon later, come here, give me the watermelon , I will distribute it."

While talking, Niu Xiaodong took out a pencil sharpener from his pocket, and was about to share the spoils.

"The three of you are really hardworking. Instead of staying at home to enjoy the shade at night, you actually formed a gang of thieves and went to the mountains to steal watermelons. Hmph, I'm going to report and expose you!"

The sudden appearance of Niu Xiaoqiang startled the three of them a lot, and when they came to their senses, Niu Xiaoqiang was already walking down the mountain with a shovel in his hands.

Niu Xiaodong hurried forward and grabbed Xiaoqiang's arm: "Brother Qiang, please speak up if you have something to say, we are all comrades in the same trench, how can you be a traitor?"

Niu Xiaodong thought that Niu Xiaoqiang was still the same Niu Xiaoqiang from before, and he could handle him by fooling around.

Although Niu Xiaoqiang's appearance remained the same, his mind was different from before. After hearing Niu Xiaodong's words, he shook off his opponent's hand in an upright manner, and said righteously: "Who is your comrade-in-arms now? Comrade Xiaodong, Please clarify the situation, you are the thieves who stole the watermelon, and I am the people's guard who caught the melon thief, are we the same way?"

Niu Xiaodong couldn't help being taken aback, and said to himself: Oh, this idiot actually knows so many things, it's not easy to be fooled, hum, I don't believe I can't handle you.

"Brother Qiang, you can't say that. You have long joined the red scarf squad in Niujia Village. No, the three of us stole—no, didn't the three of us forget you after we picked up the watermelon? We returned in the middle of the night I specially ran to the mountains to invite you to eat melons, you can't ignore this painstaking effort."

After Niu Xiaodong finished speaking, he quietly kicked Niu Xiaoyong. Niu Xiaoyong immediately understood, and echoed: "Yes, yes, we went all the way and risked stepping on poisonous snakes to come here to treat you to eat melons. Not only do you not appreciate it, you actually It’s too embarrassing to expose us, isn’t it?”

Niu Huahua also had an expression filled with righteous indignation: "Brother Xiaoqiang, you can't wrong a good person!"

Niu Xiaoqiang glanced around the three of them with a half-smile, tilted his head and said, "So, it's really me who wrongly blamed you?"

Although the three of them felt that Niu Xiaoqiang's tone was a little bit wrong, they still nodded and said that Niu Xiaoqiang had indeed wrongly blamed themselves.

"Come on! Someone is stealing watermelons! Come on! I caught the melon thief!"

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't want to waste his time with the three of them, so he yelled at the top of his voice, and ran down the mountain while yelling.

The three of them were startled, and hurried to catch up, covering their mouths, pulling their arms, and it took a lot of effort to persuade Niu Xiaoqiang.

These days, parents are very strict with their children's education, and the concept of "stealing needles from childhood and stealing gold when they grow up" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.Therefore, any matter involving such misconduct, parents will deal with it strictly and seriously, and will never allow their children to become social scum.

If their parents found out about Niu Huahua and the three stealing watermelons, not only would they have to be beaten up, but they would also kneel on the washboard for deep reflection. That would be really uncomfortable.
