Chapter 189: Being Trapped
After walking around the space, Zhang An stopped staying in it.
I just went in, just wanting to teach this wild big brother a lesson.
Now that the monkey had obeyed, Zhang An took it out.
Elder brother didn’t notice yet, and in a daze, he saw that he had changed places again.
The two eyes became very cute, with big questions flashing in their small eyes.
It was as if I was thinking about whether I was dreaming about that place just now.
But when it lowered its head, it found the peach that it had eaten half of.
Then I tried to take a few more bites. Well, the taste was still familiar, and the doubts in my eyes slowly faded away.
After coming out, Zhang An did not continue to take care of his senior brother.
Just now, in order to educate my senior brother, I only picked half of the bayberries.
So Zhang An then climbed up the tree and picked the bayberries on the tree.
While picking, Zhang An found that there were bayberries on his head that would fall into the basket on his own.
Looking up, I found my senior brother who was still messing with me just now.
Now I have climbed to the tree above to help myself pick the bayberries.
The senior brother saw Zhang An looking up at it and baring his teeth at Zhang An, as if he was smiling.
Zhang An couldn't help but feel a little happy. It seemed like this guy was a mess.
Ignore it nicely, but it is not convinced.
I made myself angry and gave it a few meals, but it became obedient.
She is still willing to help her with her work. This girl is a bitch.
But having monkeys to help is a good thing.
The bayberries on the top of the tree are larger and redder in color than those below.
But Zhang An couldn't reach those bayberries himself, so he couldn't pick them unless he cut down the trees.
Because the tree trunk becomes thinner as you go up, those branches cannot bear Zhang An's weight.
So Zhang An can only pick the ones that can be picked below.
With the help of the monkey, the picking speed increased a lot, and the small basket was quickly filled.
These are enough, the rest will be left on the tree for Zhang Tie and his group of monkeys to pick.
Zhang An picked up the bayberry on his back and prepared to go down the mountain and go home.
Then he looked at his senior brother and remembered that he had just helped him with the work.
It took two peaches from the space and regarded it as payment for the work it had just done.
Although he was a bit stubborn at first, Zhang An is not a person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong.
Handing the peach to Brother Monkey, Zhang An waved to it, indicating that he was off work and it could go home.
When Zhang An and his friends were young, they went to Qingshang to play, but no monkeys were found on this mountain.
Most of them can only be found at Swallow Rock and Wild Boar Rock.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, this nearby mountain has also become their activity range.
Zhang An walked for a while, and when he was about to go down the mountain, he always felt like something was following him.
Looking back, I found that the senior brother had not left, but was following me from a distance.
Zhang An frowned, and a thought suddenly came to his mind.
Is this monkey not planning to return to the mountain and relying on him?
Zhang An himself has no intention of going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, so he does not need it to escort him all the way and help subjugate demons.
But no matter how Zhang An greeted him, the monkey refused to leave and followed him from a distance.
Following me from the mountain to the bottom, the senior brother still refused to go back.
Arrived at the entrance of the village, the senior brother was quickly discovered by several dogs playing at the entrance of the village.
Faced with such an uninvited guest, all the puppies in the village began to gather around.
Slowly approaching Senior Brother, it seems that he is preparing for a big fight.
The dogs in the village all like to go to the mountains to play, but after entering the mountains, they are often bullied by the monkeys on the mountains.
Now that I have caught a lone bird, why not seize the opportunity and take revenge quickly?
This big brother is actually quite smart, seeing that there are many people on the other side.
It didn’t start to show its teeth and provoke each other like other monkeys.
But he turned a corner, as if he had borrowed Nezha's Hot Wheels, and hurriedly ran to Zhang An's feet.
This made several local dogs very angry, and they started yelling at them.
"Hey, Anzi, where did you get the monkey?"
Maybe they heard the dog barking outside, and the people nearby thought someone was coming, so they walked out See what's going on.
As soon as I came out, I saw the monkey at Zhang An's feet. It turned out to be the family dog and the monkey.
But seeing this monkey grabbing Zhang An’s trousers, I thought it was Zhang An who caught it from the mountain and raised it.
Because Zhang An has too many animals in his house, everyone knows that he likes to keep these animals.
"I didn't catch this monkey, but it followed me back."
Zhang An now thinks that this guy is a bit of a Muggle, and he is not very willing to raise this thing.
Because the monkeys in this mountain are quite noisy, especially this macaque.
The teeth are long and pointed, and people often come to my home. It would be bad if I hurt anyone.
"Then it means that it is destined to you, so just raise it, and you can do monkey tricks for everyone in the future."
Anyway, the people in the village were just watching the excitement and did not think it was a big deal, so they persuaded Zhang An to raise it.
If it were them, they wouldn't be willing to raise this thing.
Because we are not only responsible for its food, but also if it bites someone, it would be hard to say.
The dogs in the village became quiet after being called back by each family.
Otherwise, there would be so many dogs barking in my ears all the time, which would make my ears noisy.
Seeing more and more people watching the excitement around, Zhang An casually said a few words to everyone and then went home.
The eldest brother learned his lesson and stayed close to Zhang An, never taking a step away.
When Zhang An returned home, Wang Fang saw a basket full of bayberries and was very satisfied.
This backpack is relatively small, holding about twenty or thirty kilograms of red bayberries.
However, Wang Fang found that the monkey following Zhang An was also curious.
Zhang An could only explain what happened to the monkey to his mother.
Of course, we must hide the matter of Wuzhishan.
Zhang An had nothing to do with this rogue monkey. It followed him home and Zhang An gave up the idea of driving it away.
Let’s raise it first and then talk about it. If it doesn’t work, then we can throw it into some space.
It was still early, so Zhang An began to select bayberries to prepare wine.
It doesn’t matter when you eat it, but when you use it to make wine, you still have to soak it in salt water.
After all, we have to drive out the fruit fly larvae inside.
Otherwise, if you soak it directly in the wine, there will be a layer of white worms floating in the jar.
As a native of Qian Province, my drinking ability is still ranked among the best in the country.
The people in Zhang An's area are not only good at drinking, but they also have a lot of tricks to drink.
Everyone finds it boring to just drink brewed liquor.
And there are some relatively ancient customs that have been passed down, and there are more and more wine-making. In everyone's eyes, everything can be soaked.
I won’t talk about Chinese herbal medicines such as ginseng, velvet antler, gastrodia elata, polygonatum, etc.
Because most people can't afford these things, even if they have them, they sell them for money.
But many things can be seen everywhere, such as bayberry, prickly pear, jujube, and mulberries from some time ago, etc.
There are also silver-threaded snakes, bamboo-leaf green snakes, five-step snakes, centipedes, wasps, etc., which are all the targets of everyone's wine making.
In everyone’s eyes, there are too many things to soak in.
Sometimes it is easy to find things to make wine, but you are reluctant to buy wine because it costs money.
There's nothing that others can't think of, and there's nothing they can't find.
And these brewed wines have their own miraculous effects.
For example, removing rheumatism, nourishing yin and replenishing yang, etc., many of them are folk remedies passed down from long ago.
After spending some time, Zhang An and his mother picked out some large and intact bayberries from the pile of bayberries.
First soaked in salt water for half an hour, and then washed several times.
The bayberry is considered clean until no white bugs float out of it.
When people use bayberry to make wine, they usually dry it first and then use it to make wine.
Because I have just washed them several times, there is still a lot of water in the plums.
Just soaking it with liquor like this will not only affect the taste of the wine, but also cause other problems.
And after drying the bayberry, the wine brewed will have a more mellow taste.
"Xiao An, have you quarreled with Xiaoying recently?"
"No, how could we quarrel."
Zhang An felt a little confused when his mother asked this No idea.
"Then I see that you haven't gone to school to see Xiaoying in the past two months. I thought you two children had a quarrel."
In the past, Zhang An would come to school every two weeks. I will go to the city to see Su Ying once.
But during the recent period, Wang Fang found that her son did not go out, and the two of them did not even make phone calls.
She thought the two young men were angry because they had a quarrel.
“No way, I’ve been busy recently, and I don’t have time to go to the city.”
However, Wang Fang’s words reminded Zhang An that he really didn’t have any time during this period. Kong, working in the fields every day.
But Su Ying didn’t know about it, and she didn’t tell her in advance.
Su Ying is still young, and the child has many thoughts. If she thinks too much, it will be bad.
"Anyway, I have nothing to do now. I will go see her on Saturday."
Although distance brings beauty, feelings still need to be kept warm.
Wang Fang felt relieved after hearing what Zhang An said.
Now Zhou Yang's family is building a new house, and it is estimated that he will marry his new wife after it is built.
Wang Fang doesn’t want Su Ying, the daughter-in-law who is about to get her, to have any accidents happen.
She was extremely satisfied with the girl Su Ying.
After Zhang An finished drying the bayberries, he took time to go to the enclosure to prepare a monkey nest for his senior brother.
Now that you have decided to take it in, let’s give it its own place.
When we got to the pen house, we saw the monkey rummaging around in the little tiger's body.
Zhang An thought he was wrong, because when he just came back, Xiaohu didn't look like he was welcome.
The monkey may have felt that the big dog in front of him was more dangerous than the other native dogs it encountered in the village.
So he didn’t dare to be arrogant. Zhang An took it to the pen house, and it found a place to lie down by itself.
The way Xiaohu just looked scared the monkey.
Unexpectedly, it took just a short while to settle the relationship with Xiaohu.
This monkey will have something by then.
The two people who should not be messed with in Zhang An's family are Xiaohu and Huatou.
Hua Tou had already fought with it, and when he got home, it didn’t take much time to coax the little tiger to good health.
Seeing Zhang An come in, the monkey left Xiaohu's side and ran to Zhang An's feet to behave.
Zhang An ignored it, found a place to build a nest for it with hay, and pointed to the place where it would be from now on.
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, with a "dang-dang-dang" sound of bells ringing, the primary school in the village had finished school.
Zhang An just saw Li Yao coming home in the yard, and soon heard him crying in the house.
Although the crying sound is not earth-shattering or weeping ghosts and gods, you can still feel that it is full of rich emotions.
Zhang An thought he had committed something and was being educated by Zhou Lan at home.
He walked over to their house to take a look, so that he could help his godson out of trouble.
In the past, Zhou Lan was reluctant to beat and scold Li Yao because he was an only son and he was very spoiled.
But since coming to Changqing and being pampered by Li Hongbin's parents, Li Yao has become a little disobedient.
Zhou Lan also saw a lot of how other families treat their children in the village, and exchanged a lot of experiences with them.
I know that my son cannot be pampered over and over again, otherwise he will become a prodigal son sooner or later.
So I started to act silly at home.
I was reluctant to hit him before because I was afraid of breaking him.
Now after talking to other women, my understanding of spanking children is getting better and better day by day.
Knowing what to hit with will not break the child, but it can also teach him a lesson.
Because of this matter, Zhou Lan's mother-in-law and Zhou Lan blushed.
She thought Zhou Lan was resentful because Li Yao insisted on coming to the countryside to live with the two elders.
But Mr. Li was a sensible person, so he immediately lost his temper at home.
Tell your old lady that she can love and pamper her grandson.
But you are not allowed to delay your daughter-in-law’s education of her grandson. The youngest is such a single child in the family, what should I do if she is spoiled?
Old Mrs. Li realized that she had wrongly blamed her daughter-in-law after Li Hongbin and his son gave her some rational explanations.
We are all a family, and there is no such thing as being red-faced all the time, so after the matter was settled, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law reconciled as before.
So in the days to come, Mrs. Li will also pay attention to how much she dotes on her grandson.
When Zhou Lan was educating Li Yao, she didn’t open her mouth much.
So the number of times Li Yao yells like this is increasing day by day.
Many times, it was Zhang An who came to rescue him and then taught him the truth.
Li Yao liked Zhang An before, but now he plays with the big brothers in the village.
Like everyone else, he regards Zhang An as his idol.
Maybe he might not listen to Zhou Lan beating him up.
But if it’s Zhang An and you reason with him, he will be obedient easily.
Zhang An walked to Li Yao's house and found Li Yao himself lying on the sofa crying very sadly.
Zhou Lan on the side did not hold the golden bamboo stick in her hand, but had an embarrassed look on her face.
You know, when she usually dealt with Li Yao, she always acted with reason and looked upright.
I suddenly forgot that I only updated one chapter yesterday because I have been too busy recently. I will update it for everyone when I am on vacation.
