There were only so many things in the house, and with Pu Guiying's limp and demented appearance, there was definitely no hope for anything. Chen Xiuyu was filled with despair.
She never expected that she would encounter such fatal things just by going to the bee farm to help out, dealing with bee theft and collecting honey.
What troubled her the most was the child she was carrying on her back, crying loudly and heart-wrenchingly, and there were blind bears running around outside.
What else can you do?
She could only hold the honey-cutting knife, which was more than 30 centimeters long, in her hand and stared nervously at the door while shaking the child on her back to see if he could calm down.
If Blind Bear barged in at this time, all she could do was probably fight him out with a honey cutter. And she simply couldn't imagine such a result.
No, no matter what, you can't hurt the child.
This is the lifeblood!
Women are naturally weak, but mothers are strong.
At this moment, these words were reflected so vividly in her body that she even opened her mouth and bit her arm hard, trying to use the pain to calm herself down.
She did it!
Although she was still extremely anxious, she finally had more sense. A spark suddenly burst out in her mind, and she suddenly thought of something.
She immediately looked up to the top of the house.
On the top of the wooden-carved room, there are wooden floors, and a layer of wooden boards is laid on top to form a flat roof of the room, which has the functions of heat preservation, heat insulation, and sound insulation. The floor and herringbone roof also have a triangular space.
.
Usually there is an entrance and exit to the upper floor, which is convenient for storing some things on the upper floor or cleaning the dust accumulated on the upper floor.
Looking at the thick but increasingly unreliable wooden door, Chen Xiuyu, who was completely unsure, knew that perhaps it would be safer to climb up.
With a quick glance, she immediately saw the square wooden board against the wall of the house that covered the entrance and exit.
But at such a height, she could barely reach the stairs when she jumped. There was no stool or anything like that in the room to put her feet on... No, honey bucket, you should be able to reach it by stepping on the honey bucket.
Chen Xiuyu did it whenever she thought of it.
She ran to the corner, picked up a honey bucket, carefully stepped on the lid of the honey bucket, and finally touched the cover. With a strong hand, she lifted the wooden board and placed it on the floor aside.
The first thing to do is to untie the child from his back, carefully push it up through the entrance, and place it on the floor.
In any case, it was safer up there than down below. Chen Xiuyu finally breathed a sigh of relief as her biggest worry was solved.
But now, there is a bigger trouble, that is Pu Guiying.
It was probably the first time in her life that she was so close to a blind bear. The girl was so frightened that she was completely paralyzed.
Even a strong adult man may fall ill if he is frightened by a blind bear, let alone a girl.
It's not surprising that he was so frightened that he was paralyzed and stupid.
But the difficulty is that when you are so scared, you don’t even know if you are really scared or something is wrong!
It's strange, and I don't know why. After Xiong Xiong ran around in the next room for a while, he didn't break the wooden door immediately and broke in. He didn't know what he was doing, which made the next door rattle.
The child on the floor was still crying, Honey was in the house where she was, and it was only a matter of time before the blind bear broke in.
But Pu Guiying is her best sister, so she can't just die without saving her.
The anxious Chen Xiuyu immediately jumped down from the honey bucket and ran to Pu Guiying as soon as she put the child away.
At this time, she didn't dare to shout, so she could only support Pu Guiying, who was lying limply on the ground, and shake her.
After shaking it several times in succession, Pu Guiying had no reaction at all. Her eyes were just open in a daze, as if she had forgotten to blink, without any intelligence... She was stupid!
Having no choice, Chen Xiuyu waved her hand and slapped Pu Guiying on the face, trying to wake her up.
This shot was very heavy. Pu Guiying was shocked by the pain, suddenly turned over and sat up, and finally regained consciousness.
She covered her aching face and seemed to remember that there was a blind bear. She immediately jumped up and screamed: "Blind Bear..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Xiuyu covered her mouth tightly and shook her head at her. Then she pointed to the noisy outside room and made a silencing gesture to her.
Seeing Chen Xiuyu like this, Pu Guiying, whose head gradually returned to clarity, was still pale, but at least she had stabilized a little.
At this moment, Chen Xiuyu pulled her over, pointed to the entrance above, and lowered her voice: "Hurry up, climb up!"
Pu Guiying nodded quickly, followed Chen Xiuyu's instructions, climbed up to the honey bucket and stood there, hooking her hands around the edge of the floor entrance, trying hard to climb up.
But that's what women are like. Normally, they seem to have a lot of strength, and it hurts to hit someone, but when it's time to use it, their hands are like decorations, and they don't have the strength to hang up the body, let alone climb up.
Seeing this, Chen Xiuyu could only squat down, let her step on his shoulders, stood up with all her strength, and lifted her up. Finally, she lifted up her upper body. This time, Pu Guiying used her hands hard, rolling and crawling on the ground.
onto the floor.
Chen Xiuyu also hurriedly followed, but like Pu Guiying, she couldn't use her hands at all and couldn't climb up.
Pu Guiying, who was on the floor, was spinning around anxiously. She reached out and grabbed Chen Xiuyu's hand and dragged her upwards. Chen Xiuyu climbed up the wooden wall with her feet.
But as soon as her feet left the honey bucket, Pu Guiying couldn't hold on anymore, and Chen Xiuyu fell directly. Instead, Chen Xiuyu fell to the ground, and the empty honey bucket next to her fell to the ground with a bang and rolled out.
.
Ignoring the pain in her butt, Chen Xiuyu hurriedly held the honey bucket.
Looking around, she noticed the ropes on the two honey buckets containing honey, and quickly untied the ropes.
This rope was one of the several ropes that Meng Zhaohua used to tie up the gauze frame to prevent it from falling from the car when he went to Yan's Nest Island to pull the geese. When he was lifting the honey bucket full of honey, he was reluctant to cut it and even connected it.
Used together, it is about seven or eight meters long, quite thick and strong.
After taking it off, Chen Xiuyu stood on the honey bucket, handed the other end of the rope to Pu Guiying, and tied the other end around her waist. After thinking about it, she handed over the honey cutting knife, and then she grabbed the edge of the entrance with both hands.
He put his feet on the wooden wall and used his own strength. Pu Guiying also helped pull the rope and dragged him. He used all his strength to finally climb up.
This period of busy work is a long story, but it actually only took two or three minutes to complete.
It was finally a little safer. Even if a blind bear broke in, it would be very difficult to get up through this small entrance. In addition, there were two people guarding it, which made it even more difficult.
Chen Xiuyu covered the wooden board at the entrance, breathing heavily, her chest rising and falling rapidly.
Beside, the crying child's voice was hoarse.
She quickly picked up the baby and rocked it for a while, but it still didn't stop. She could only lift up her clothes and let the baby suck milk.
After receiving breast milk, Xiao Zhengyang finally stopped crying after sobbing a few times and started sucking the milk.
On the roof, the raindrops kept hitting the wooden tiles, making a crackling noise.
Only then did Chen Xiuyu have time to look at Pu Guiying: "Yingzi, are you okay?"
"It's okay... I'm just scared!" Pu Guiying said softly.
Chen Xiuyu reached out and rubbed her face: "The situation was urgent and I had to fight..."
"I know...thank you, Sister Yu!" Pu Guiying said gratefully.
Fortunately, she still knew about this kind of thing. If Chen Xiuyu hadn't slapped her awake, what would have happened if the blind man broke in.
That was to save her life!
She looked at Chen Xiuyu with fear: "Sister Yu, what should we do next?"
"Just wait here. It's not that easy for Blind Bear to get to the floor above... It will be easier when someone comes!" Chen Xiuyu has no idea of provoking Blind Bear now.
"But what if someone comes and the blind bear jumps out?"
Pu Guiying's words made Chen Xiuyu slightly startled.
If you think about it carefully, this blind man came here for the honey. There is so much ready-made honey and honey residue inside, and I am afraid it will not be easy to leave. If anyone comes here at this time, wouldn't it be a disaster?
"You're right, we have to find a way to drive away the blind bear, or find a way to notify others..." Chen Xiuyu nodded, she knew that the situation was still very serious!
"But we can't get out!" Pu Guiying had no idea what to do.
The child was full of milk in her arms. Despite the noise, she felt safe in Chen Xiuyu's arms and did not cry. She was just uneasy with a pair of small gloves sewn from cotton to prevent him from scratching herself.
The ground is moving.
Chen Xiuyu looked at the child, then at Pu Guiying, and put the child into Pu Guiying's arms for her to hold: "I'm going to see what Blind Xiong is doing and see if there is any other way... On the floor of the room next door
Is there such an entrance?"
"Yes, it's just above the cabinet where it was placed!" Pu Guiying whispered.
Chen Xiuyu immediately stood up, tiptoed, carefully passed through the triangular beams, and touched the floor of the room next door. After a while, she came to the place where the cabinets were placed before, quickly found the wooden board, and gently peeled it off.
Open it, lie down on the floor and look down.
I saw the blind bear wandering slowly, sniffing everywhere on the ground. Finally, I smelled the bottom of the cupboard with the door, stretched out my paws to poke around, and pulled out a potato.
Xiong Xiazi couldn't tolerate cold or heat, but it seemed that the aroma of roasted potatoes had some magical attraction to it, so he opened his mouth and ate the potatoes.
These dozen or so potatoes that had been placed on the charcoal fire were scattered on the ground when Chen Xiuyu smashed the blind man with the brazier. At this time, the surface temperature had dropped, but the inside was still very hot.
As soon as the potato was bitten into the mouth, it was so hot that the blind bear let out a strange scream, and he quickly spit it out again, circling around the hot potato, and occasionally sticking out his tongue to lick his raised right front paw.
After waiting for a while, he lowered his head again, chopped the potatoes that had cooled down a bit, and swallowed them piece by piece into his stomach.
Chen Xiuyu finally understood why the blind man didn't see him and immediately broke open the door to the back room and rushed in. He was attracted by the smell of roasted potatoes and rummaged around the house looking for roasted potatoes.
Looking at the house that had been messed up by the blind bear looking for baked potatoes, Chen Xiuyu glanced around and found that except for a baked potato on the collapsed kang, there was nothing else.
Sure enough, after eating the baked potato, the blind bear hunched his nose again and looked around the room. He accidentally stepped on a piece of hot charcoal and was burned so hard that he screamed and ran to the side. After making a slight adjustment, he continued to search.
Potato, after a while, jumped on the kang again and ate the roasted potato on the kang.
This time I jumped up and the place where I landed did not collapse. After eating the baked potato, Xiong Xiazi walked around the house and found nothing more. He seemed to remember that there was more attractive honey, so he walked to the door and faced the door panel.
A sharp sniff.
It must be that when carrying honey, the hands of the people who came in were stained with honey. When they opened the door, the honey was stained on the door panel. After the blind bear sniffed the door panel, he stuck out his tongue and licked it.
