Chapter 8

After lunch, Mu Li put some fried dried fish into the small basket. Mrs. Lin was washing the dishes in the stove. Seeing that the three children were about to go out now, she picked up her apron to wipe her hands and stood in the stove. The doorway said: "It's hot today, why don't you go out when it's cooler?"

Mu Li smiled and said: "It's okay." Then he turned to look at Mu Qing beside him and said, "Brother, why don't you go, stay at home and study, I can take care of this matter."

Bribing a child with snacks is the easiest thing to do, there is no safety risk, and she can handle it by herself, so Mu Li thinks that her brother should use his precious time to study hard at home.

Mu Qing doesn't think so, bribing children seems simple and there is no danger, but who can guarantee that nothing will happen on the road, the younger sister and younger brother are still so young, some things can't be handled at all, and he is there There is a caregiver, even if something happens, others will not dare to act rashly.

"I have completed today's tasks, and I can arrange the rest of the time freely." Mu Qing said with a smile.

Last night he only rested when he was studying until he was ugly, and this morning he got up to study as soon as it was [-] o'clock, so that he could have time to spend with his younger sister and younger brother today.

The children in the village don't have so many restraints, they are very wild, and they often don't see anyone until the meal time. When eating, they are also rushing, swallowing dates, and their posture is busier than the county magistrate who is an official.

After eating, when the bowl was thrown away, Sa Yazi ran away.

I have been playing until the sky is dark and I am still reluctant to come back.

That energetic one seems to never be exhausted.

Muli and the others took the fried dried fish to the largest crooked-neck willow tree in the village. The summer wind blew, and the emerald green willows danced gracefully.

There are four little boys around five years old under the willow tree. The two boys are playing cockfighting. At this time, it is in full swing. The victory or defeat depends on one action. The other two boys stand aside and cheer for the people they support, come on Cheer up.

The scene is nothing short of lively.

Even when Mu Xuan came, no one noticed.

"Come on Dalang!" Guawa said excitedly, his eyes were fixed on the two sides of the battle, and seeing that the dog egg showed a flaw, he hurriedly shouted: "Hit him, hit him hard!"

"Goudan, run!" Seeing Dalang's swift attack, Goudan was almost knocked down by him, and he shouted: "Hold on! Hold on!"

The faces of the four children were flushed with heat, and their foreheads were covered with fine beads of sweat.

Guwa and Gouwa who were watching the battle held their breath, and seemed to be more nervous than Dalang and Goudan who were fighting. They didn't even bother to wipe the sweat from their eyes.

The summer wind was blowing again with the heat wave, Mu Li and the three of them just stood here doing nothing, a thin layer of sweat began to break out on their foreheads, and their faces were scorching hot.

The mottled tree shadows changed positions with the wind, and Mu Li and the others stood under the willow tree, being hit by sunlight for a while, and wrapped in coolness for a while, the polarization of cold and heat made their faces more and more red.

Finally, the champion appeared.

After fighting for dozens of rounds, Da Lang won Goudan.

A cockfight game consumed a lot of energy for Dalang and Goudan, and the two children slumped on the ground exhausted, panting heavily.

Da Lang stretched out his dirty little hand, with a triumphant smile on his face, "I won, give me apricot quickly."

Gouwa reluctantly took out two yellowed apricots from his bosom, glanced at the defeated Goudan, and grumbled, "My mother picked these for me yesterday, and it's all because you lost .”

Before the cockfight, the four children made an agreement that the loser would give apricots to the winner.

Seeing Gouwa dawdling like a woman, Dalang snatched it away, gave one to Guawa, and kept the other one for himself, regardless of whether his hands were dirty or not, he casually rubbed an apricot on his body. If you rub it, you will send it to your mouth.

Gua Wa is also very greedy, and she can't wait to send it to her mouth.

Goudan and Gouwa watched them put the apricots into their mouths greedily, swallowing saliva unconsciously, Goudan wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and asked Gouwa, "Where did your mother pick the apricots? Come on, let's go." Go pick a few and come back to taste."

"hiss--"

"hiss--"

"It's so sour." Da Lang's facial features were wrinkled together by the sour apricot, and even tears came out of the corners of his eyes. Da Lang covered half of his face and said, "God, where did you get the apricot, sour?" My teeth are about to fall out.”

Guawa wasn't much better either, he couldn't help but shuddered a few times when the apricots were so sour, and said with a bitter face, "I won't eat."

As he spoke, he threw the apricot on the ground, and the bitten apricot rolled aside, with a lot of dust sticking to it.

"Bah!" Gua Wa spat out the apricot meat in her mouth.

"Is there something not sour here that you want to eat?"

Suddenly, there was a gentle voice with a smile.

The four children looked at Mu Li who appeared in front of them at some unknown time.

Seeing Mu Xuan, Gua Wa excitedly said, "Xuan Zi, have you come to play with us?"

Gouwa and Goudan were also very happy to see Mu Xuan.

Gou Wa: "We are playing cockfight, do you want to join us?"

Goudan: "Xuanzi, don't be angry, we didn't mean not to take you to play."

Three of the four children were very happy to see Mu Xuan, but Da Lang was a little uncomfortable. He stood there with his eyelids down, twirling his toes unconsciously, and he spun a small circle on the ground.

Mu Xuan looked at them and waved his hand, "I'm not here to play with you, I'm here to give you something to eat."

As soon as they talked about eating, Guawa Gouwa Goudan's eyes lit up, and immediately forgot about Xingzi, they hurriedly asked, "What is it? What is it?"

Da Lang's eyes also brightened, but soon dimmed again. He pretended not to care and glanced at Mu Xuan. The three children surrounded Mu Xuan, chattering about something.

Children can’t escape the eyes of adults even if they pretend again. Dalang’s uncomfortable expression after seeing Mu Xuan just shows that he may know the truth about the gold ring, and the children’s reactions after hearing that there are delicious things It just proved that Mu Li's method is effective.

Mu Li looked at him with a smile, and then looked at the children gathered in a group. She raised the small basket in her hand, raised her voice, and said with a smile: "The delicious ones are here."

The three children swarmed and surrounded Mu Li again.

"It's filled with dried fish. It just came out of the pan at noon today. It's delicious, crispy and crispy." Mu Li looked down at the three little greedy cats with a smile, "If you want to eat it, you have to answer me first. Just a question."

Mu Li intentionally placed the small basket low, but at the same time it was out of their reach, so that they could only look at it but not eat it, to lure them on purpose.

Goudan was so greedy that he took the lead in raising his voice: "Sister Ah Li, you can ask, as long as I know, I will tell you everything."

Guawa and Goudan also responded loudly.

Mu Li smiled and nodded in satisfaction, she turned her head to look at Da Lang who was peeking at them, and asked with a smile, "What about you?"

Da Lang was caught by Mu Li, he hurriedly looked away, and pointed the back of his head at Mu Li.

"I'm not hungry." The voice was muffled, and as he spoke, his eyes uncontrollably glanced at the small basket in Mu Li's hand.

Seeing this, Mu Qing felt amused, Da Lang is a well-known glutton in the village, if he can resist the temptation of dried fish, his name will be written backwards.

If it wasn't because he had a ghost about Mu Xuan's matter, Da Lang would have been the first to rush forward.

But of course, Mu Qing couldn't say these words. He took out a small dried fish, deliberately walked to Da Lang's side, and ate the small dried fish in front of him. The small dried fish that he usually eats in one bite, at this moment But it took half a day to eat even half of it.

It's even less than what a lady eats in one bite.

Mu Qing looked intoxicated and satisfied while eating.

"It's delicious, it's almost as delicious as the world."

Mu Li looked at his brother's childish actions and couldn't laugh or cry.

Gua Wa and the others were so greedy, they were drooling, and they all wanted it.
