Chapter 172 Fish Bait
At the breakfast table, Shitou and Xiaohuan looked at Lu Chengjing's neck again and again, and couldn't help but ask, "Brother-in-law, what's wrong with your neck?"
This lush green patch looks like a vegetable leaf has been pasted on it.
"Bitted by mosquitoes." Child Chu Xu answered with a poached egg between his legs, "I asked just now."
Xiaohuan worriedly said: "What kind of mosquito can bite such a large area? It can't be fleas and poisonous insects."
Shitou took a sip of porridge and wondered: "I smoked it yesterday, so why are there mosquitoes? Why are there no mosquitoes in my house?"
Lu Chengjing: "..."
The ears have a tendency to become warm.
"Ahem, your brother-in-law attracts mosquito bites." Shang Wan suppressed the raised corners of his lips and put a soup dumpling into a bowl for the embarrassed person.
"Mom." Yuanyuan pushed her small bowl towards her mother, and Zaizai wanted it too.
Shang Wan also took one for her and warned her in a warm voice: "Be careful of burning it."
"Don't be afraid!" Yuanyuan patted her little bib with her oily hands. Zaizai was brave.
Shang Wan burst out laughing, Chu Xu chatted with Yuanyuan all day long, and the little baby girl could speak more and more words.
After breakfast, Shang Wan moved baskets of fried ginger slices to the small platform for drying medicine. With her skills, she could jump up and down without using a ladder at all.
Chu Xu looked envious, he also wanted to have such good skills.
"Aunt Shang, can you teach me martial arts?"
"My martial arts is not considered martial arts, and I haven't learned it systematically. Teaching you will only mislead others." Shang Wan knocked on his little head, "Your family is a general family, and it must have inherited martial arts. Compared with learning from me, These wild ways are better for you as a scholar."
He does have inherited marksmanship, but Chu Xu doesn't like to use guns. He prefers to use knives instead of guns.
Shang Wan said: "Every inch is longer and every inch is stronger. You said you will go to the battlefield to earn military merit and become a general in the future. There is no harm in learning marksmanship. If you really like knives, you can learn both. You are still young anyway. Really?" A master doesn’t pick a weapon.”
After hearing this, Chu Xu immediately recalled the scene where Shang Wan used leaves to kill the assassin that day. He was so cool!
He followed Shang Wan like a little tail and asked, "Aunt Shang, how did you become so powerful?"
"Beat them." Shang Wan replaced the zombies. "If you are put into a place surrounded by evil wolves, you will be eaten if you don't kill those wolves. This will happen every day, every moment. If you slack off and stay for a long time, you will be able to save your life."
Chu Xu opened his mouth in surprise. He didn't expect that Shang Wan's experience would be so bumpy. Isn't this a method used by big families to train dead soldiers?
Could it be that Aunt Shang was a dead soldier before?
However, dead men are all emotionless killing tools. How can there be someone as lively and lively as Shang Wan who can get married and have children?
Unable to turn his little head around, Chu Xu raised his hand and patted it, looking at Shang Wan with sympathy.
Shang Wan:? ? ?
What is this kid thinking?
Chu Xu patted his chest and said seriously: "Aunt Shang, don't worry, I will keep your secret."
Shang Wan's head was full of questions, "...What secret?"
"I will never tell anyone your true identity." Chu Xu raised his hand to swear, "Not even my parents and brother."
Shang Wan: "..."
Forget it, whatever.
"Be good." She raised her hand and rubbed the child's head. "Those assassins probably won't come. I have to go check out the fields later. You can go and play by yourself."
Chu Xu stood still, rolled his eyes twice, and asked in a low voice: "Aunt Shang, can I go into the mountains to play with Yuanyuan?"
He had not mentioned it before because he was worried about causing trouble to everyone, but now that he heard that the assassin would not come, his little thoughts came to life, and he really wanted to go into the mountains.
"Ask Yuanyuan." Shang Wan didn't care how the two children played, "If Yuanyuan wants to take you there, you can go."
"Okay." Chu Xu immediately jumped to find Yuanyuan.
Yuanyuan just asked Aunt Xiaohuan to fill herself with a jug of goat's milk, put the milk jug on her back, and prepared to set off. She received a mission from her mother today to bring back the doe that had given birth to cubs.
My mother said that she had to find her own food and be independent from an early age.
She will definitely complete the task!
"Yuan Yuan Yuan, can I go too?" Chu Xu pulled at the door frame and looked at Yuan Yuan...the gray wolf riding on her.
Riding a wolf is really majestic, and he wants it too!
Yuanyuan blinked her big eyes and tilted her head to look at him, "Go to...then?"
"Go into the mountains." Chu Xu came over and touched Xiao Hui, "I want to go into the mountains with you. I asked Aunt Shang, and Aunt Shang asked me to ask you."
"No." The round little hands turned into claws, and he opened his small mouth and whined at Chu Xu, "There is an ax... tiger."
"I'm not afraid." Chu Xu's calculations began to crackle, "As long as you protect me, I'll be fine."
Yuanyuan pursed her lips, "No!"
She has a mission today and can't play with her little brother.
"Be good...be good." Yuanyuan stretched out her little fleshy hand and patted Chu Xu's arm, waiting for her to come back before playing with her little brother. He must be obedient.
Chu Xu wanted to say something else, Yuanyuan patted Xiao Hui, "Let's go!"
One person and one wolf ran out of the yard in the blink of an eye.
"Hey!" Chu Xu immediately ran after her, "Yuanyuan, wait for me!"
I just wish I had two fewer legs!
Shang Wan saw it on the platform and shook his head, "You're pretty good at abacus."
Children will definitely watch Yuanyuan's majestic ride on a wolf and want to ride a wolf through Yuanyuan.
It's a pity that my cub didn't take the trick and ran away leaving this little brother behind.
Seeing Chu Xu chasing further and further away, with no intention of turning around and coming back, Shang Wan touched his chin, a playful smile flashed across his eyes.
The bait has been spread out, so it’s time for the fish to bite the hook, right?
She packed up the medicinal materials, jumped off the platform, went to the woodshed to find the bamboo basket, lifted it over her shoulder, and went into the mountain.
On the other side, Chu Xu kept chasing after him, and then he got into the forest and lost the man and the wolf.
"You didn't even wait for me. I won't take you to sit on the swing when I come back." Chu Xu muttered and complained, turning his little head and looking around, "Which way are you going?"
It feels the same in the dense forest, and I still feel dizzy after spinning around a few times.
Chu Xu patted his head, squatted down and looked at the footprints. After looking at them for a long time, he finally found a direction and continued chasing according to his feeling.
Shang Wan who came with him was very happy.
The child is very courageous. Not only did he bravely choose the opposite direction, but he also moved forward without hesitation. Do you really think that all the jackals, tigers and leopards in the forest are vegetarians?
Chu Xu was not bold, he really thought he was chasing in the right direction.
He also planned to go back the same way if he couldn't catch up after counting to three hundred.
And then...he got lost in all his glory.
"I remember coming from here, where is the stone I left?" Chu Xu looked around with his short legs, unaware that danger was approaching.
"It seems to be this one." Chu Xu bent down and picked up a gray stone, which felt very similar to the one he threw away.
He glanced at the dense forest in front of him and said confidently: "Go this way."
The little short legs take a step forward bravely.
