The first rooster crows the next day, and Fang Rui wakes up after hearing the sound. He looks outside the house through the window, and the genius is dimly lit.
Remembering that Xiao Hei had not returned home before going to bed last night, Fang Rui got up, put on shorts and pants, and walked out of the house, his body trembling uncontrollably. The temperature in this early summer morning was still a bit cold, just like Fang Rui's mood at this moment.
Fang Rui did not rush to go for convenience, but went straight into the yard. When he looked into the small room where Xiao Hei lived, there was no sign of Xiao Hei. Did Xiao Hei not come back all night? Fang Rui suddenly wondered in his heart
It felt like he was blocked by something and felt very uncomfortable. He tried to call Xiao Hei's name a few times, but there was no response. All he heard was the impatient cry of the little white pig in the pig pen who had disturbed his dream.
Purr.
"Xiao Rui, stop shouting, Xiao Hei hasn't come back." At this time, my mother appeared at the door connecting the house to the yard, her shoes were stained with mud, her hair was covered with mist, and her face was filled with deep worry.
.
"Mom, have you already gone out to search?"
When Fang Rui saw his mother's tired and sad look, he became more and more confused.
"Xiao Hei didn't come back all night, I feel uneasy!"
Yu Yinghong took a deep breath and exhaled it for a long time. It could be seen that her heart was not calm at all.
"Mom, don't worry, Xiao Hei will be back."
Fang Rui comforted his mother and was also comforting himself.
More than five years ago, Fang Rui brought Xiao Hei back from Lao Bian's house. Xiao Hei lived in Fang Rui's house for more than 1,800 days and nights. Fang Zhengping's family has long regarded Xiao Hei as an indispensable part of the family.
member. And Xiao Hei, who always returns home on time every day, suddenly stays out all night. How can Yu Yinghong and her son not be worried?
Behind Xiaotai'er Village is Mount Li. Mount Li is deep and steep. There are many kinds of ferocious beasts living in the mountains. Although few people have seen traces of wild beasts in recent years, does it mean that they are extinct? There are also poisonous snakes.
Giant pythons and other things... and if the competitive Xiao Hei encounters them, the consequences will be really disastrous.
……………………
I heated up some leftovers for breakfast.
Mother and son each ate a bowl hastily.
After finishing the meal, Yu Yinghong silently cleaned up the dishes on the table and then went to the kitchen.
The air in the room was very dull, so Fang Rui moved a chair and sat under the willow tree in the field. He sat there blankly, letting his thoughts fly all over the sky. He sat there for more than two hours. By about ten o'clock, Xiao Hei
Still didn't come back, Fang Rui felt so blocked that he couldn't stand it anymore.
I have to find something to do to vent my anger.
Fang Rui carried a wide and thin board hoe, picked up a single-cylinder dustpan, and went to the pond to pick up mud. The bottom of the pond had not been cleared for several years, and the mud was as deep as his knees. Since it was going to be used for raising fish,
The eel should be cleaned up properly.
Fang Rui first dug a few ladders at the dock of the pond, otherwise it would be difficult to walk with a heavy dustpan full of mud, right? Then he cleaned up the messy weeds around the pond, and then began to dig out the mud.
Put it in a dustpan, then pick it out and dump it on the open space next to the pond where vegetables are not yet grown.
The pond mud is very fertile. While picking up the mud, Fang Rui wondered whether he should plant something in the pond mud in the next few days.
Time passed quietly with the waving hoe and the sweat on his cheeks. In addition to carrying dozens of loads of pond mud in the morning, Fang Rui also harvested more than a pound of eel and about a pound of loach, all dug out with a hoe.
of.
Fang Rui poured the eel and loach into the cement tank in the back yard and checked the eel inside. There was no abnormality. The giant eel was also guarding a corner by itself, quietly. Fang Rui fiddled with it a few times.
It only twisted its body slightly and soon returned to silence.
Fang Rui didn't care. He used a ladle to scoop out the turbid water in the tank and replaced it with clean well water. He thought to himself that raising eels in this cement tank was not an option. He had to work harder to clean out the pond.
That’s it….
……………………
By lunch time, there was still no trace of Xiao Hei.
After eating two bowls of rice dully, Fang Rui said to his mother, "I will go to Lishan to look for Xiaohei this afternoon."
Yu Yinghong paused while picking vegetables with her chopsticks, looked at her son and shook her head, "Lishan is so big, how can you find it?"
Hearing what his mother said, Fang Rui fell silent. Yes, go to Mount Li to look for Xiao Hei. Let’s not talk about whether it’s dangerous or not. What’s the difference between the chance of finding Xiao Hei and finding a needle in a haystack? And even if we find Xiao Hei, maybe
It was already... Fang Rui didn't dare to think about it.
……………………
After working hard all morning, Fang Rui went to bed to take a nap because he was very tired.
Halfway through his sleep, he vaguely heard his mother shouting from behind the house. Fang Rui was woken up and felt nervous, wondering if he had lost his baby again. He quickly turned on the system and checked, and sure enough, it was between one-thirty and two o'clock.
There are two records of negative growth in energy values during these two time periods.
Damn, I really lost two more chickens!
Fang Rui hurriedly ran to the bamboo forest behind the house. His mother was counting the number of chickens with an anxious look on her face. When she saw Fang Rui coming, she hurriedly shouted, "Ruizi, come here quickly. Check to see if there are two more chickens missing."
chicken?"
"Mom, it's ninety-six." But Fang Rui still wanted to count? He already knew it, but even if he knew it, he still had to pretend.
"I've lost two chickens a day for three days in a row. If this continues, won't all the hundred chickens be fed? How about we look for the reason again?" Yu Yinghong was already very depressed because of Xiao Hei's incident, and now she is missing two more chickens.
Chicken, she was even more upset.
Fang Rui and his mother searched in the bamboo forest for a long time, but still didn't find any clues. His mother said, "Xiao Rui, why don't you put the chickens in the yard and raise them? Anyway, we don't have any chickens this year.
The chicken pens are all empty."
After hearing his mother's suggestion, Fang Rui thought about it:
Raising chickens by yourself is not a joke, and it will gradually increase in scale. Raising a hundred chickens in a yard as big as a palm is not a big problem, but it is not a long-term solution. No, raising chickens by yourself is a business
If we want to continue, we must find out the reason why the chickens were lost... and wandering around in the bamboo forest like this, we will definitely not find anything. It seems that if we want to find out the reason, we can only continue to leave the chickens.
In danger.
Fang Rui told his mother what he was considering, and her mother also thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Then let's not go too far from home recently. At least one person must be near the house. It's best to be there if there's nothing wrong."
Go for a walk near the bamboo forest."
……………………
In the next few days, Xiao Hei still didn't come back.
Yu Yinghong and Fang Rui were completely disappointed. Both mother and son were in extremely low mood. Even when Liu Xiuhua came over and asked Fang Rui to see her girl, Fang Rui refused and said she would go there after a while.
Then in the bamboo forest in the back room, even though both of them paid close attention to it and went to check it out from time to time, the chickens were still missing two by two. One day, three chickens were even missing. This matter was really mysterious and distressing.
Fang Rui was in an extremely depressed mood. He worked hard from dawn to dusk to clean the mud in the pond. In the past few days, he had cleaned up the mud completely, and harvested a total of more than six kilograms of eels and more than four kilograms of loaches. The system energy value increased again.
It was a huge sum of money, which gave Fang Rui a little comfort.
