A good wife and a good mother

Chapter 3
"You ask me why I make this up? Half of it is to prepare for tomorrow's departure, and the other half is to pass the time. If you don't find something to do at the bottom of this valley, people will really go crazy. Uh, of course, I am From a human point of view, for you pigs, there is no such leisure. After all, no matter where you are, you will only eat and sleep, and live so heartlessly that you will be slaughtered... er , I'm sorry, I'm talking about the sad things of your pig clan again."

"Hmph!" The suckling pig bared its teeth angrily, dissatisfied with Maude's attitude of belittling their pig clan.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry! By the way, let me give you a name, it's convenient to call you like this!"

"Hmph..." Although the suckling pig was not convinced, it seemed that he was looking forward to the name Modai gave it.

"What do you call 'Pink Pig'?"

The suckling pig directly turned his head to express his protest, and made his request with a whimper.

"Huh? I don't like it. You said you want a name that makes other creatures know that you are strong and powerful when they hear your name, and also has a strong personality? Wow, it's so difficult, ah, Got it!" Mo Dai had an idea, and struck fists and palms together, "I'll call you Maru Niu!"

The suckling pig turned to look at Modai, his little eyes were full of doubts.

"The cow represents being strong and mighty, and the pill means being delicate and cute, which is exactly your characteristic. It's very appropriate. Okay, let's call it Maru Niu!" Mo Dai made a final decision, and the suckling pig had no room to refute. Strong and mighty why not called dragon, lion or tiger?
This night, Maude slept peacefully on a flat cyan rock, while Maru Niu (it is a suckling pig, you get used to it when it screams a lot) sleeps at her feet. I have to admit that with Modai, it feels that the time has passed much faster.

In the early morning of the second day, the golden glow of the rising sun awakened one person and one pig.

When Mo Dai came to the stream, she took a brief wash in the cool water, and then went to pick some oranges and a bunch of bananas for breakfast.While gnawing on the oranges, the suckling pig squinted at Modai who was picking oranges, persimmons, lemons, and bananas.

Modai’s straw basket was woven yesterday, half a person’s height, with straps and a lid, and it can hold a lot of things. She first put thirty lemons on the bottom, and spread a layer of large bananas. After the leaves, put bananas, oranges, persimmons, and finally grapes. The straw baskets are filled to the brim, and the lid is finally closed.

Lemons are not delicious, but their nutritional value is extremely high. Supermarkets sell them for more than three yuan each. Now that there are free fresh lemons available for picking, and Modai especially likes lemonade, he is not afraid to pick them hard.

Modai knew that Maru Niu was very dismissive of her preparing these things, but for some reason, she felt that she had enough to eat and felt at ease.After everything was ready, Mo Dai came to the dead tree to perform her blood-dropping tree saving ceremony.

According to Maruki, the inexplicable sweet muscle fruit she ate had the ability to heal living things only by merging with the blood of living things. She solemnly used a black hard needle grown from a plant stem , pricked his ring finger like a modern blood test, squeezed out a few drops of blood and dripped on the dead tree stump.

The moment the tree stump received the blood, Mo Dai was stunned, because the scene that Maru Niu had said really happened. The speed quickly grew and grew into a towering tree. The tree didn't stop growing until the branches and leaves of the big tree completely covered the entire valley bottom.

Modai stared blankly at the dead wood that instantly grew into a towering tree like a monster, and the hooting of a pig came from her ears: "Hey, the blood is enough, quickly remove the hard needle, really What a waste!" Then she felt the pig licking her bleeding ring finger with its wet and hot little tongue...

Mo Dai's eyelids twitched rapidly, thinking, Grandma, what kind of ghostly place did Mo Dai fall into?
What Maruki said was right, her dripping blood to save the tree ritual had an effect, and now she walked out of the valley that she couldn't get out of no matter how hard she walked.

But what Maru Niu said is not necessarily correct. It clearly said that as long as they cross the barrier, they can go out soon. However, they set off early in the morning, and it is already evening now, but they are still circling in a forest. The road is slim, and I really can't estimate how long it will take to get out of the forest.

Modai unloaded the straw basket on her back and sat down to rest under a big tree about the thickness of two people hugging her arms. She took out two bananas from the straw basket, handed one to Maru Niu, and ate the other by herself.

Mo Dai glanced at the stock in the grass basket, and within a day, the fruits had already been reduced by half, and most of them had entered the belly of Maru Niu.I really didn't see that this little pig actually ate more than an adult like her, presumably those owners who keep pigs as pets are extremely rich.

Maru Niu nibbled on the banana, rubbed the skin with his front hoof deftly, and finished eating in two or three strokes. After eating, he raised his eyes to look at Modai, his eyes full of anticipation.

Modai really wanted to pretend she didn't see it, but in fact she did so, she turned her face away, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the pleasant feeling of the breeze in the forest.

"Hmph!" Maru Niu walked up to Modai, dissatisfied with her intentionally ignoring it.

"Maru Niu, it's not that I'm stingy and don't give you food, but we really don't have much in stock, we have to save some money, we probably won't be able to get out of this forest today, alas!" Who dismissed what she had prepared back then?

"Hmph, hum..." Maru Niu hummed more and more softly, because the slander could only be carried out in a low voice.

It also feels very embarrassed at the moment, but it has not been out for more than 50 years, and the way has long been forgotten. Although it was a big talk before, but what, it did not mean it. Why is this woman holding it like this? Do you not let go of your mistakes?Then what, it is too inhumane to deduct its rations?Think how much a small pig can eat?It can be seen that this woman is ungrateful, bullies the small with the big, and doesn't love small animals...

Maru Niu was enjoying himself in this chamber, when his ear was suddenly picked up by Modai, with such force that it thought that Modai would cut off its pig's ear to drink, and was about to growl, the next time Mo Dai pinched his mouth again for a second——

"Hush! Maru Niu, listen!" Modai listened mysteriously, her expression showing excitement and anticipation, but at the same time her body was tense and on guard.

What are you listening to?Nervous woman!Maru Niu continued to slander, unwilling to admit that Modai's hearing is actually much more sensitive than that of wild animals. Its ears are much bigger than hers, and it is a wild animal, so why didn't it hear?
Mo Dai heard that the sound was very similar to the rustling of human feet stepping on fallen leaves and dead branches, but it could not be ruled out that it was the footsteps of wild animals, so she was both surprised and wary.
