Mu family's little lucky girl

Chapter 17 Let Your Child Do It

"And me!" Xiao Muxuan stood up on the stool with a "snag" and patted his chest with his small hands, which was really a bit of a posture.

"Okay, okay." Mu Qing said three times in a row, with a helpless look on her face, she stretched out her long arms, and hugged Xiao Muxuan off the stool, "But you are still young, you can't help the family much, just take care of yourself gone."

Saying that, Mu Qing raised her eyes to look at Mu Li, and said seriously: "Forget about hunting."

"There are too many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts in the mountains. You are still a little girl and have no hunting experience. It is very dangerous to go into the mountains alone."

Old man Mu nodded, thinking of what happened a few days ago, his face became serious.

"There are too many poisonous snakes on the mountain. A few days ago, a person from the next village went up the mountain alone and was bitten to death by a poisonous snake. That person still often haunts the mountains and forests, and this kind of thing cannot be avoided. In the future, you should also stay away from that mountain."

"Yes." Mrs. Lin also heard about this, and said worriedly: "A Li, if you go to collect firewood again, you can do it at the foot of the mountain, and don't go into the mountain again."

Xiao Muxuan knew that the mountains were very dangerous since he was a child, and there were ferocious beasts that eat people there. He did not dare to approach that mountain at all, and the children in the village did not dare to approach it. unwilling.

He hugged Mu Li's arm and began to act coquettishly, he refused to let Mu Li go hunting without saying anything, and even cried after speaking.

Crying like prickly pear blossoms raining, sad, as if she had already encountered an accident, Mu Li stared at his little face for a moment, somewhat dumbfounded, pulled him to come to him, and wiped away the tears on his face.

She has known the danger on the mountain for a long time. When she was a child, without the presence of adults, she could not even take a step closer to the foot of the mountain.

That is to say, starting from this year, her parents saw that she was a big girl, so they allowed her to go to the foot of the mountain to collect firewood by herself. Before going back, Mrs. Lin would tell her that she could only collect firewood around the foot of the mountain, and not Going into the mountains, even if it's just going in at all, won't do.

However, what Old Man Mu and Mrs. Lin didn't know was that Mu Li had gone into the forest alone when she was five years old.

There is so much firewood in the mountains, every time Mu Li goes in, she can return with a full load, which is why some girls in the village who are older than her go out to collect firewood, but they don't get as much firewood as she does.

However, Mu Li only dared to stay outside, and didn't dare to go too deep inside.

It's too dangerous inside.

Coupled with the experience of collecting firewood in the past few years, Mu Li also knows the situation of this area very well. She knows exactly where the pheasants frequent and where the hares gather.

That's why she mentioned hunting.

Mu Li told her family about her thoughts. In order to let her family agree to go hunting in the mountains and believe that she has the ability to protect herself, she also told them her experience of going to the mountains to collect firewood over the years.

After Old Man Mu and the others heard this, their expressions changed drastically, and they were all terrified. Thinking of those years when Mu Li went to the mountains to collect firewood, Old Man Mu and Mrs. Lin felt very worried and palpitations.

In addition to being frightened, I was angry and blamed.

The scolding from parents and elder brother lasted for a long time before it ended, and Mu Li just sat there obediently without moving, not talking back, and even thoughtfully poured a bowl of water for the three of them to moisten their throats.

Mu Li understands the feelings of the family members very well.

A five-year-old child, without the company of an adult, went alone into the mountain where countless dangers are hidden. Even just thinking about it makes one's scalp tingle and one's heart tremble with fear.

If one is not careful, the child may be buried here.

If it were her, she might have reacted even more than her parents, and she would have already slapped her in the face.

Therefore, a few reprimands from parents and elder brother should not be too gentle.

After the reprimand, under Mu Li's persuasion and guarantee many times, old man Mu reluctantly agreed to Mu Li's request.

But this time, old man Mu was much stricter.

"If you let me know that you are disobedient and go into the deep mountains alone, I will break your legs."

Old man Mu was really scared.

Because there are too many dangers in the mountains, he must speak to the extreme, so that his daughter will be obedient and dare not go into the deep mountains without authorization.

Mu Li immediately stopped his back, and said with a serious expression: "I promise to listen to what Dad says."

"Old Mu, it's too dangerous inside the mountain, we can't let Ah Li go by himself." Lin's eyes were red again, and she couldn't help wiping her tears.

Old man Mu glanced at his sad wife, but didn't try to comfort her.

He said earnestly, "A Li, Dad knows that you have your own ideas in how you do things, and your parents won't stop you, but it's a matter of safety, you must protect yourself and not let your parents worry, you understand?"

Mu Li nodded heavily.

Seeing his wife crying non-stop, old man Mu sighed softly, "Okay, Ah Li has been smart since he was a child, he knows what to do and what not to do, and also understands the truth. I have explained some things to her clearly, and she You will remember it in your heart, so don’t worry about it.”

"Stop crying, let the children see a joke."

Mrs. Lin was sobbing, thinking of her husband's heart being so big, he hit old man Mu's shoulder with a fist. It was limp, but he didn't have much strength. Old man Mu took his wife's hand and said to the children: "It's not early Let's all go back to the house and rest, Ah Qing has to go to the academy to study before dawn."

Mu Qing looked at Mrs. Lin who was still frowning, and then at the old man Mu who was supporting his mother. She moved her lips several times, but she still didn't say anything.

After the children all returned to the house, old man Mu and Mrs. Lin also returned to their own room.

The moonlight poured into this small bedroom through the window. Old man Mu shook his cattail fan and fanned his wife. The buzzing mosquito sounded for a while, and then went out for a while.

By the moonlight, Mrs. Lin watched her husband put down his cattail fan to chase and beat the annoying mosquitoes. After several times, he didn't catch any of them. Old man Mu was a little frustrated.

"Come back tomorrow with some wormwood, fumigate it well, I'll see how long this mosquito can go crazy." Old Man Mu said, gnashing his teeth.

"Pfft," Lin laughed.

Soon, she put away her smile again, frowned and asked her husband: "The mountain is so dangerous, why do you want your daughter to go hunting? There is more than one way to make money. Do you have to choose this dangerous one?"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Lin complained to her husband, and looked at her with sorrow.

The old man Mu waved away a mosquito that just flew over, without looking at his wife's expression, he said: "Take it as a training for her, A Li has grown up too, we as parents have to learn to let go, let the child We make our own decisions.”

"Just explain the truth."

"You can say nice things." Old man Mu's words made Lin a little annoyed, "Don't you worry about her safety? Did you know that there was a wild boar going down the mountain to hurt people last year? Ah Li, a thin little girl , what if you encounter a ferocious wild boar?"

"When the time comes, you will have no place to cry when you regret it."

Old man Mu hugged his wife into his arms, patted her on the back with one hand, and comforted her softly: "A Li is my daughter, so why don't I worry about her safety?"

"However, as long as you don't go deep into the mountains, basically there won't be any major problems; wild boars hurting people don't happen often, and it happened once in decades. If it continues like this, in recent decades There will definitely not be any more incidents of wild boars hurting people."

Hearing her husband's calm and breezy tone, Lin Shi pinched Old Man Mu fiercely. Seeing him gasp in pain, Lin Shi felt more at ease.
