The old man was very happy and thought he would be caught soon, but as soon as he passed by, the short mule suddenly looked ferocious and pounced directly on him.
Having said this, the old man suddenly stopped.
Qin Fan and others were surprised when they heard this. At this time, Chen Yingying blinked her big eyes and couldn't help but asked: "Grandpa Lin, what happens next?"
The old man waved his hands with an embarrassed smile and said: "When I woke up, I was lying on my hard bed at home. I was found by the villagers."
After a pause, the old man said thoughtfully: "I told them that I met a short mule, and then the short mule attacked me. Then the villagers scolded me for being crazy, saying that I accidentally stepped on the air and fell directly into a
I fell into a ditch and they rescued me."
Chen Yingying made a sound, shook her head and said, "Weren't you being attacked by a short mule? How could you end up falling in the air?"
The old man shook his head and smiled bitterly and said, "I actually still can't figure it out. I clearly remember that I was on a very flat ground when I passed out."
At this time, Qin Fan frowned when he heard this, and then he asked: "Then where did you meet the short mule?"
Old man Lin told Qin Fan directly that he met him in the mountains here, and then he probably told Qin Fan how to get there.
After listening, Qin Fan asked the old man about other things.
After he finished asking, Qin Fan almost finished asking, and then he nodded towards Chen Dawei.
Chen Dawei knew that Qin Fan had finished asking, and then Chen Dawei smiled at Old Man Lin and said, "Uncle Lin, thank you for today. We have finished asking."
"Yes," Qin Fan nodded and smiled. Taking advantage of the other party's lack of attention, he took the five hundred yuan and put it behind him.
Immediately, several people came out of the old man's house.
On the road.
Chen Yingying couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Fei, do you think he deceived us just now? I think what he said was inconsistent."
"Yes," Chen Dawei nodded in agreement: "This is indeed somewhat inconsistent, and I can't figure it out."
Upon hearing this, Qin Fan thought for a moment and said, "It's not a contradiction. What the old man said should be right. It's just that the short mule is too smart."
“Are short mules smart?”
Chen Yingying shook her head and wondered: "How smart can a rumored animal be?"
Qin Fan smiled and shook his head and said: "Actually, some animals are smarter than humans. This dwarf mule should be very powerful too."
It didn't want to kill the old man, so it probably threw the old man into the ditch. When it was discovered, no one would believe what the old man said.
When Chen Yingying heard what Qin Fan said, she felt that it was really possible.
At this time, Chen Dawei asked: "Brother, do you mean that there really are dwarf mules?"
Qin Fan nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, I plan to catch the dwarf mule in the next two days."
Chen Dawei was not surprised when he heard this.
When he came, he could probably guess that Qin Fan wanted to catch the wild mandrill, otherwise he wouldn't be so interested in the dwarf mule.
Chen Dawei didn't say anything, but Chen Yingying next to him said to Qin Fan: "Xiao Fei, then I'll go with you."
Upon hearing this, Qin Fan shook his head and said, "No, I can go alone."
Chen Yingying wanted to say something else, but Chen Dawei glanced at her and signaled to shut up.
When Chen Yingying fell silent, he said: "Brother, if you need anything, just tell me."
Qin Fan nodded and said yes with a smile, and then the three of them returned to Qinghu Village.
The next two days.
In addition to teaching the children, Qin Fan also prepared tools for catching dwarf mules.
In fact, there was nothing much to do. Based on what the old man said about the short mule's appearance, Qin Fan directly asked Chen Dawei to help him get a fishing net.
The fishing net doesn't need to be too big, just enough to catch the short mules.
There are other dirty things in the mountains, just in case.
At the same time, he asked someone to prepare some donkey hooves.
There are also glutinous rice and other things ready.
Upon hearing this, Chen Dawei quickly prepared everything for Qin Fan, and then Chen Yingying specially made some food for Qin Fan.
This day.
Qin Fan was going to go to the mountains alone to catch wild mandrills.
During the past two days, he had almost gotten a general idea of the situation in the mountains.
night.
Qin Fan ran directly to the place the old man mentioned.
A full two hours.
When Qin Fan arrived, it was already dark.
He found an open space to sit down, put down his things, and looked up at the moon.
The reason why he wanted to catch the wild mandrill today was because Qin Fan checked the weather forecast. The weather was the best today, and the moonlight would definitely be better at night.
He checked the information and found that mandrill monsters generally do not come out at ordinary times. If they do come out, they only come out to play when the weather is good.
And when these guys come out, they usually come out in the middle of the night.
So Qin Fan didn't have anything to do at this time. He was nesting there in the cold wind and seemed a little cold.
Qin Fan originally wanted to smoke a cigarette.
However, he thought that he was in the mountains, so he endured it. Then Qin Fan wrapped his clothes tightly and began to sleep with his eyes closed.
The mountain wind blew gusts, the woods swayed, and the insects and birds chirped in the forest.
Twelve o'clock in the morning.
Qin Fan opened his eyes.
After checking the time, he cheered up and looked at the movement in the mountains.
The place where Qin Fan is located is at a high point and is considered condescending.
Coupled with his perspective, Qin Fan could see clearly as long as there was a slight movement in the grass below.
An hour later.
There was not much movement in the woods.
Two hours later there was still no movement.
Qin Fan was still lying in the grass, his eyes staring at the grass like cold swords.
Until dawn, not to mention seeing the dwarf mule, not even a bell rang.
After waiting all night and finding nothing, Qin Fan shook his head and smiled bitterly, then he stood up and went back carrying his things.
The next night.
Qin Fan still kept watch all night, but there was no hair left.
At this time, Chen Yingying watched Qin Fan get nothing for two consecutive nights, and she felt sorry for Qin Fan.
So when I came back from get off work in the afternoon, I immediately made chicken soup and planned to bring it to Qin Fan to school.
Seeing his daughter like this, Chen Dawei said with a jealous smile: "I didn't even make chicken soup for your dad before, but now you are so active."
Yes, when a daughter grows up, her heart goes out, Mother Chen joked at the side.
When Chen Yingying heard this, she immediately blushed, and she said with a sigh: "Mom and Dad, you guys... I won't talk to you anymore."
I looked at my daughter and felt a little embarrassed.
Chen Dawei smiled and said: "Okay, no more joking, Yingying, hurry up and bring it to Xiao Qin, otherwise it will be too late if he goes out at night."
Chen Yingying nodded and smiled, reached out to hold her parents' hands and said with a smile: "Mom and dad, don't worry, I will always be your daughter."
After saying that, she picked up her lunch box and left happily.
