Farmer's Rabbit

Chapter 20

Chang Sheng held Bai Tutu in his arms, and said as he walked, "I was favored by Aunt Zhang when I was young. Now she lives alone in the village and has no one to rely on. I have to take care of her. I picked it this morning. There are quite a lot of wild ganoderma, I will bring some to her."

Bai Tutu's eyes brightened slightly, did Chang Sheng report to him?

In fact, there is no need to tell him specifically, those Ganoderma lucidum are not his.but……

Bai Tutu shook his ears, feeling very happy.

Chang Sheng is willing to tell him because he respects him and treats him with an equal status!

The feeling of being valued by others made Bai Tutu feel happier than ever, until he saw Aunt Zhang, he still maintained a happy mood.

"Auntie, there is too much meat at home and I can't finish it. I'll bring you some to taste." Chang Sheng untied the basket and took out the pheasant and wild boar inside.

Widow Zhang is getting old and her teeth are bad. He specially selected for her crispy plum meat, pork heart and liver, as well as a few catties of high-quality pork belly and pork ribs, and cut another piece. The pork leg is going to be brought by Widow Zhang to Sister Yan.

"Chang Sheng, you, why did you go up the mountain again?" Widow Zhang looked at the pheasant, not happy but worried.

Chang Sheng nodded: "The pheasants and hares in the mountains are almost flooded if no one hunts them. I caught a few, and I ate the dead ones, and bought the live ones."

"Then what's the matter with the wild pork?" Widow Zhang asked nervously.She could tell at a glance that the pork was slightly darker than ordinary domestic pigs, and it was wild boar meat!

"I fell into the trap myself." Chang Sheng replied truthfully, and put the pork wrapped in banana leaves on the table.

Hearing this, Widow Zhang didn't feel at ease, but became even more worried: "Good boy, my aunt knows that you are capable, but you can just catch some pheasants and hares, and don't provoke these wild boars!" They were all excited, and resentment was written on their weather-beaten faces: "The wild boar not only hurts people, but also eats people. Your uncle was harmed by this beast back then!"

Both Chang Sheng and Bai Tutu were taken aback.

Being reminded of the sad event, Widow Zhang felt sad: "That year a group of wild boars came down from Daliang Mountain. The head of the boar was huge, like a moving hill, with blood-red eyes staring like copper bells. The fangs are long and sharp, and the mane on his body is like steel needles standing up..."

"This beast led its descendants to sweep down the mountain, not only ruining the crops in the field, but also destroying many houses!"

"But everyone was tired from work that night and slept soundly. The herd of wild boars came to attack the village and no one noticed until the gate was slammed by wild boars!" The light of hatred said, "The gate of my house was knocked open by that beast, and your uncle was bitten off by that beast in order to protect me and Sister Yan!"

"Your uncle hurt him to death!" Thinking of her husband's miserable situation at that time, Widow Zhang couldn't help but shed tears, "The worst thing is that Liu Ergou's family has only orphans and widows left in the family. His family is only three years old. The doll was eaten alive by that animal!"

What!Bai Tutu's eyes widened in disbelief, and only then did he understand why Chang Sheng cared so much about the herd of wild boars.

Chang Sheng's expression became more serious.The danger of this wild boar is more serious than he imagined!

The tragic scene is vivid in my mind, and the terrified screams of the villagers seem to be echoing in my ears. Widow Zhang said tremblingly: "The animal's skin is thick and fleshy, and it can't be attacked by weapons or guns. The men in the village can't beat it at all. Many people were killed and injured at that time." I couldn’t take it down, and finally the old village head asked everyone to take out the oil in the house and set it on fire all the way to drive them back to the mountain!”

"The fact that some villagers never came back after going up the mountain is not a rumor. People from other villages who escaped from the mountain saw that beast eating human thighs with their own eyes. Those missing villagers are most likely eaten by that beast!"

Bai Tutu was secretly startled.When he was wandering in other places, he had heard about tiger monsters eating people. Could it be that this wild boar has become a monster?

Some bad monsters don't want to work hard and just want to take shortcuts, and use people's essence to boost their own cultivation. This method is extremely harmful, and these fairies who are diligent in self-cultivation are very shameless about this!

Widow Zhang wiped away her tears, took Chang Sheng's hand and said earnestly: "So Chang Sheng, you should avoid going up the mountain in the future!"

Chang Sheng frowned: "I understand, but because of such hidden dangers, I have to go up the mountain even more."

Widow Zhang's complexion changed, and she said angrily, "Why don't you listen to persuasion, child?"

Chang Sheng patted her hand, telling her to be calm: "Auntie, listen to me..."

The man's deep and powerful voice sounded above his head, and his steady voice was reassuring and convincing.Bai Tutu picked up Chang Sheng's skirt and stared at his Adam's apple rolling when he spoke, and suddenly felt an urge to touch it.

Chang Sheng soothed Widow Zhang's excitement, but she still didn't want Chang Sheng to take the risk. "Chang Sheng, this is not your business alone, you don't have to take risks for this, and others will not accept your favor!" It's not that she thinks too much, but that this is how the world is!Out of consideration for everyone's safety, Chang Sheng went up the mountain alone to investigate the traces of the wild boars, and set up traps to prevent the wild boars from going down the mountain to disturb the people. For the benefits, blame him for eating alone!

Chang Sheng's expression was indifferent: "It's just convenient, I didn't just go for this. If others see that I benefit from it and want to go up the mountain, I can't stop it, and it has nothing to do with me if something happens."

Knowing that he had made up his mind, Widow Zhang sighed helplessly.

Chang Sheng took out Bai Tutu and held it in his palm: "Auntie, do you still have little rabbits at home?"

Widow Zhang's attention was suddenly attracted by Bai Tutu, and while gently touching his head, she replied, "Yes, there are several litters!"

"My little darling, this little thing is so beautiful!" Widow Zhang looked at the little dumpling with big watery eyes and hair as white as snow and soft as clouds, and she felt much better, "I want to give it to you!" Looking for a companion?"

"No." Chang Sheng squeezed Bai Tutu's little paw, "The last time I went to the city, many people saw that he was cute and wanted to buy him. After I refused, I asked them if they wanted an ordinary little rabbit. You two have already placed an order. You happen to have little rabbits, why don't you bring them to the city and sell them in pairs, the price will definitely be higher than your rabbit meat."

Widow Zhang hesitated: "Will this be too much trouble for you?"

"No trouble. Anyway, I have to go to the city to run errands." To make smoked meat, the pork needs to be marinated in salt for a few days. The salt at home is not enough, so he has to buy more tomorrow.In addition, he wants to go to the pharmacy to buy some medicinal materials and make some good wine to make medicinal wine.

In the previous life, the elders of the family suffered from rheumatism and bone pain. They found a way to spend a lot of money to ask the national players for a prescription, and specially invited snake catchers to catch snakes to drink snake wine. Snake wine has a good effect.At that time, he was weak and had to drink a small glass of snake wine every day to keep himself healthy.

The body is young and strong now, and there is nothing wrong with it, but he is worried that the original owner has hidden injuries from overwork in the past. He just picked wild ganoderma lucidum and brought a snake back, so he wanted to drink some snake wine.

"That's fine, but," said Widow Zhang with kind eyes, "the price for selling rabbits is equal."

"No need, auntie." Chang Sheng didn't even think about sharing the money, "This rabbit is raised by you, I can't take your money."

How could Widow Zhang agree: "You child, you send me all the good things, and my aunt doesn't give you anything back, and I don't have much money for selling rabbits, even if my aunt thanked you!"

Chang Sheng didn't like to push and push like this, so he agreed to sell the rabbit a little more expensive so that Widow Zhang wouldn't suffer.Afterwards, she handed over a paper bag: "Auntie, here are some wild ganoderma lucidum, just a pheasant, you can make chicken soup to nourish your body." Widow Zhang raised her daughter by herself and suffered a lot, so that she was only 40 When I was many years old, my temples turned white, my face was full of weather, and I was as old as a person in his 60s or [-]s.

Hearing this, Widow Zhang was startled, opened the paper bag, and said anxiously: "You child, I just said that you will send all the good things you have, and you really sent such good things? I will be buried soon Old woman, what are you doing with this tonic?" Then he stuffed the paper bag back into Chang Sheng's hand: "Hurry up and take it back!"

Chang Sheng put the paper bag on the table: "I still have it at home. You can eat these. If you don't want to eat, you can give it to Sister Yan."

"Auntie appreciates your kindness!" Widow Zhang's eyes were full of emotion: "Listen to what Auntie said, take it back! You haven't married yet, so sell these to medicine shops and save the money to marry a wife!"

These words reminded Chang Sheng of that charming spring and dream, and a somewhat unnatural flash appeared on his face: "I have no such plan." If he really likes men, there is no need to deceive other girls.

Thinking that Chang Sheng was afraid that his reputation would not be good and no girl would marry him, Widow Zhang patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "The male college should be married and the female college should be married. You are old enough to get ready quickly. Auntie has already found someone for you." Two girls! If you want my aunt, I will propose marriage to you!" When she and Li Chunhua argued last time, she said that she would find a wife for Chang Sheng and have ten or eight children for him.

"Those two girls aren't very good-looking, but they look pretty good-natured..."

Widow Zhang smiled, obviously very satisfied with the two girls mentioned.Chang Sheng didn't want to discuss this with her, so he hugged Bai Tutu and interrupted her: "Stop talking about it, auntie, take me to see the little rabbit, and I'll bring it into the city to sell tomorrow."

"This rabbit can't run away in the yard! Listen to me first!" Widow Zhang still said enthusiastically, "When you marry a wife, you should marry a virtuous person. Those two girls are both diligent and thrifty housekeepers, that is..."

Chang Sheng refused in a deep voice: "Auntie, I don't have such thoughts now, if I want to marry a wife, I will definitely tell you."

The tall and stern man hugged the little rabbit and gently smoothed his hair. His whole person was less indifferent in front of others and more gentle. When he looked down at the little rabbit, his eyes were rare and gentle.Widow Zhang saw it in her eyes and was anxious.

"Chang Sheng, the children of young people who are about your age in the village will be able to herd cattle, so hurry up and get a wife! With a wife to accompany you, you don't have to be bored all day raising cats and rabbits for fun. I will let you The daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy, how wonderful it is for the daughter-in-law and the child to be hot on the kang!"

Bai Tutu's ears pricked up all of a sudden, and he stared at Widow Zhang with big black eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable.

What is raising cats and raising rabbits to make fun?He and Da Hua are not Chang Sheng's playthings to pass the boring days!

Chang Sheng pinched his little ears, Bai Tutu trembled itchyly, and looked back at Chang Sheng.The man didn't change his face, looking at him with deep and calm eyes.

"I didn't raise them because I was bored," Chang Sheng said after a pause, "I think it's pretty good now."

Widow Zhang's eyes were full of anxiety: "These cats and rabbits can't cook for you, wash clothes and have babies. You listen to your aunt and marry a wife!"

The eyes of the woman in front of him were full of eagerness, Chang Sheng asked coldly: "Auntie, did you hear something?"

Widow Zhang hesitated to speak, hesitated for a while before saying: "Chang Yong, the naughty boy of the Chang family, was beaten up by his father for stealing food that day. Forget it as your son. Say you are more promising than his father, raise a cat and eat better than people, and there must be delicious food at home..."

A trace of disgust flashed in Chang Sheng's eyes.

"You can't be a bachelor all your life, you have to find a partner no matter what, and you can have someone to talk to when you have something on your mind, right?" Widow Zhang followed her advice, "In this case, why don't you look for it now, you have to wait until you are older? "

Chang Sheng was silent.

"Also, you are too nice to this cat and rabbit, and it is easy to be criticized." Widow Zhang sighed earnestly, "Auntie knows that you are kind, but you can't go too far! How can this rabbit and cat go past people? "

Chang Sheng remained silent.He has a different concept from the people here, he can't change their deep-rooted thoughts, and he can't make them understand him.

Widow Zhang continued: "When you have a wife and children, your attention will naturally be diverted, and you will naturally understand who is the most important to you."

Chang Sheng didn't agree with Aunt Zhang's words, but the other party cared about him, and he didn't want to hurt her again and again, so he nodded and said, "I'll make a note."

Bai Tutu's eyes suddenly widened.

... What does Chang Sheng mean by this sentence?

Widow Zhang smiled happily: "Auntie is waiting to drink your wedding wine!" After saying that, she got up happily and walked to the yard.

The expression on Chang Sheng's face didn't change much, but Bai Tutu could see that he was relieved, and his heart tightened.

Did Chang Sheng agree to marry this woman?

Widow Zhang built a shed in the yard, with several cages stacked inside.The adult rabbit with fat head and big ears was eating green vegetables with its head depressed. When it saw someone coming, it only looked up and then continued to eat with its head down.

Widow Zhang was diligent and kept the rabbit cage clean, but there was still an unpleasant smell in the whole yard.Chang Sheng glanced at Bai Tutu calmly, his little thing was dry all the time, and there was no strange smell.

"Little bastard is here." Widow Zhang opened a fence and let Chang Sheng come in to check.

Sensing a stranger coming in, more than [-] little white rabbits with long ears ran into the cage with a "swoosh", and those who ran slowly were pushed to the edge of the cage door by their companions, unable to get in.

Chang Sheng subconsciously looked at Bai Tutu again.His little things are not very courageous, but they are much smarter than these little rabbits. When they are cold, they will crawl into his arms to keep warm, and they don't like living in cages...

Bai Tutu, who was silently followed by Chang Sheng, lay on Chang Sheng's palm depressedly, feeling depressed and uncomfortable.

Chang Sheng is going to marry a wife, so will he treat him and Dahua so well after marrying a wife?

After looking at the rabbits, Chang Sheng thought for a while and said, "Auntie, you pick out eight pairs of these rabbits, and tie a red string to the female ones, so that guests can choose easily."

"Hey, okay."

Widow Zhang quickly picked out eight pairs of healthy rabbits. Chang Sheng helped them put them in cages. After carefully asking how these rabbits should be taken care of on weekdays, she said, "Then I'll go back first."

"Okay." Widow Zhang sent Chang Sheng out, watching Chang Sheng's tall figure go further and further away, with a smile on her wrinkled face.

A few days ago, Li Chunhua poured dirty water on her, saying that she traded the rabbit for Chang Sheng's pheasant, but she never expected to be slapped in the face by Chang Sheng afterwards, saying that the pheasant was used by him to honor her godmother.

She heard the villagers say this at the time, and although she understood that Chang Sheng said it to silence the villagers, she still couldn't help being happy in her heart, and hoped that it was true.

She liked Chang Sheng from the bottom of her heart, but Chang Sheng didn't mention it to her face to face, so it was difficult for her to ask Chang Sheng.

After closing the courtyard door, Widow Zhang went into the house to pack up the pork and pheasant and prepare to go to the city.

Yan'er was still breastfeeding the child, and this pig leg happened to be sent to her for milking, and she also pulled some cloth back to make two clothes for Chang Sheng.

There is no woman to take care of this child at home, and the clothes are still white after washing, so she has to hurry up and get this spring shirt ready for him.
