Old Xiucai Guo saw the little taupe bunt boy Tong Tong, obviously born exactly the same as the previous one, but he felt a little excited for no reason.

"Qing Yu, Qing Yu, you're right this time, aren't you?" Elder Guo said excitedly.

Mei Qingyu stood by Mei Qinghuang's side. The two brothers might look alike at first glance, but those who are familiar with them can tell the difference from their expressions.

Mei Qingyu was young, but there was a calmness in her eyes that was not commensurate with her age.

"Is there something the old man wants from me?" He asked again.

Old Xiucai Guo coughed: "That's right, are you willing to worship me as a teacher and study with me?"

Mei Qingyu didn't seem to be surprised, he just asked very politely: "Why?"

Old Xiucai Guo coughed: "Because you are a talented person, I can't bear to have you buried in this small mountain village; also because I just came back from the gate of hell yesterday, I am worried that there will be no students for my knowledge."

Mei Qingyu nodded lightly: "So that's the case. It's just that I'm running away from famine now. Firstly, I don't have the energy to study with the old man. Secondly...it's hard to say where I will stay and how I will live in the future. I'm afraid It is to live up to the kindness of Mr.

Guo Laoxiu was obviously a little anxious, he said anxiously: "It doesn't take much time to study..."

After a pause, Old Xiucai Guo seemed to realize the gaffe in his words. He coughed and covered up, "What I mean is that you can study while you are on the road. The key to learning is persistence."

Mei Qingyu shook her head, did not let go, and only said: "Thanks to the old man's love, I really don't have any extra energy right now. Fortunately, I am still young and have a long life, so I am not in a hurry."

Qiao Huaping glanced at Mei Qingyu with a half-smile, and then at old scholar Guo.

Old Xiucai Guo didn't realize that since just now, the rhythm of this conversation has been firmly controlled by her family, Yubao.

Old Xiucai Guo saw Mei Qingyu's determined look, no matter what he said, he just smiled and shook his head.

The old scholar Guo became more and more unwilling, so he could only look at Qiao Huaping: "Mr. Qiao, there is no harm in such things as reading. Children are ignorant, and you are ignorant, too? Don't you want to persuade them?"

Qiao Huaping spread her hands, shook her head, and said deeply: "The child is old enough to have his own ideas. I can't control it."

Seeing that the mother and son could not be persuaded, Mr. Guo could only let out a long sigh and leave resentfully.

After the Guo family left, Mei Qingyao clicked his tongue and complained in a low voice: "Why does the old scholar look like he can't wait to tie up his second brother?"

Qiao Huaping laughed.

She can more or less guess the purpose of Mr. Guo's scholar.

Don't you just want to tie it up?

Fortunately, although her family Yubao is young, she is sober and intelligent like a young adult. Knowing that old scholar Guo suddenly came to take the initiative to recruit apprentices, it must not be that simple, and she doesn't need to worry about it...

"boom!"

The wind and rain were blowing outside the cave, and the thunder roared, shaking as if the whole cave was shaking.

When Qiao Huaping saw Mei Qingyu, who was still calm and calm like an old dog just now, her face turned pale!

The body also trembled slightly.

Qiao Huaping: "..."

Got it, Yu Bao is afraid of thunder.

But looking at him frozen in place and not moving, it was obviously embarrassing to say.

"boom!"

Another thunderstorm.

Many children in the cave were so frightened that they hid in their mother's arms and trembled, screaming a lot.

Mei Qingying was unexpectedly courageous, but she wasn't afraid of this.

She was squatting on the ground, playing the game of jumping over the pond with herself, playing very leisurely.

Mei Qinghuang muttered something: "... I don't know if the meat will taste better when the lightning strikes it."

Qiao Huaping: "..."

Okay, I respect you for being a qualified foodie.

Qiao Huaping stepped forward and hugged Mei Qingyu.

Mei Qingyu's small body froze slightly.

"Oh, thunder is a bit scary." Qiao Huaping put her arms around Mei Qingyu, as if gossiping, "When I was young, I was at home and encountered a particularly big thunderstorm. I was always worried that the thunder would strike me On the head. Unfortunately, no one at home could hug me at that time... Yuyu, let's hug for a while, I won't be afraid anymore."

Mei Qingyu's small body softened.

He leaned his head lightly on Qiao Huaping's shoulder, and said softly, "Mother is so humble, she's still afraid of thunder."

Qiao Huaping admitted frankly: "What's the matter, everyone has something to be afraid of."

Mei Qingyu raised the corners of her mouth and said nothing more.

This torrential rain fell for most of the day.

Village head Lu had a sad face. It was raining and it was difficult to start the trip, and the trip had to be delayed again.

But there is no way to do it. Rainy days are full of disasters. For the sake of the lives of the whole village, it is natural to be cautious.

Mei Qinghuang still remembered the last time after the rain, Qiao Huaping took them to catch landscape oil seeds and fry them to eat. The oil was delicious, delicious and fun.

He looked at Qiao Huaping expectantly.

Qiao Huaping flicked Mei Qinghuang's little head: "I have to wait for the sun to come out, and the ground will not be so wet... It's already late today, the sun is probably gone, I guess there is water everywhere .If you step on a swamp pit when you go out, you won’t be able to save it.”

Mei Qinghuang answered honestly.

It has rained outside, and the floor and walls of the cave have become wet and damp. Coupled with the poor ventilation, it is really uncomfortable to stay in this cave.

Qiao Huaping was thinking about making a mint drink to refresh her mind—the last time she encountered a large clump of wild mint in the woods, she pulled the roots and planted them in her space without being polite to them. inside.

Just as she was thinking, Qiao Huaping heard a scream from somewhere in the cave: "Ah!"

Qiao Huaping immediately stood up and looked towards the source of the sound.

There was already chaos over there, there was no light in the depths of the cave, it was dark and cramped, it was noisy for a long time, and finally even Zhu Xiangyi went there with a medicine box.

Of course, Zhu Xiangyi didn't come to watch the excitement, it was because a villager who was resting deep in the cave was bitten by something on his hand, half of his arm was blue.

Qiao Huaping heard that Sister Du came back and gossiped with her waving a cattail fan, saying that the wound was also very strange, I don't know what kind of animal bit it, looking at the tooth marks, it turned out to be two rows of fangs inside and outside.

Qiao Huaping's eyelids twitched.

"... I searched for a long time in the depths of the cave with a torch, but I couldn't find what it was biting. It's strange." Sister Du shook her cattail fan twice, and wondered, "Could it be that he came outside?...Look. That tooth mark should not be small, what exactly is it?"

Sister Du finally concluded: "Anyway, when you sleep with your child tonight, be careful...it's so scary, even Doctor Zhu doesn't know what it is, so I can only treat the wound briefly."
