The blacksmith in the village specially made a set of shackles for Monkey and Hanniu. There is a three-foot-long iron chain in the middle. Each person's foot is covered with a buckle and riveted, so the two of them need to be there no matter what they do.
Together.
Han Niu has not smiled for three or four days, not because his butt hurts, or his head hurts, or because he has no food, but because the monkey was surrounded by people when he was washing his butt with salt water that day.
A group of children, big and small, with runny noses and open mouths laughing and laughing at their bare butts. They never stop talking nonsense. What's even more outrageous is that there are a few little girls in colorful clothes.
Hiding aside and whispering.
From the beginning to the end, Han Niu didn't feel the pain in his butt. He wanted to put on his pants immediately, even if his butt was rotten, but the stubborn monkey insisted on cleaning the last wound before helping him put it on.
pants, but Han Niu was completely numb at this time.
At what age does a person need face the most? Yun Zheng will tell you without hesitation that it is when he is thirteen or fourteen years old. As a teacher, he understands the thoughts of these children very well. He is still obsessed with face at such a young age. He has just gained a little bit of himself.
At this time, humiliation is far worse than corporal punishment.
Han Niu is a living example. He really doesn't care about getting hurt. A little injury with rough skin and thick flesh will heal in a blink of an eye. But this time exposing his butt to the broad daylight will not hit him for three or two days.
He has only one thought to be able to recover, and that is to run fast, far away, to a world where no one has seen his naked buttocks. Only then can he regain his pride, but the iron on his feet
The chain made it impossible for him to leave Dousha Village.
The dinner was surprisingly rich, including snow-white rice, a bowl of green vegetables, and a bowl of radish stew. The monkey found that Yun Er, who was squatting next to him and eating, also had these two dishes in his bowl. If there was a difference, it was Yun Er's bowl.
There is also a peeled hard-boiled egg inside.
"Do you want to eat eggs?" Yun Er asked the monkey while picking up the eggs with chopsticks.
"I don't want to eat it!" the monkey replied resolutely. A piece of beef made Hanniu not even interested in his favorite meal. When another egg came, the brothers wiped their necks clean.
The radish stew is so delicious. Monkey has never thought that the food can be so delicious.
Yun Er regretfully took back a small bite of the egg inserted on the chopsticks, took a small bite, and muttered to the monkey: "My eldest brother doesn't like eggs, and I don't like them either, but he forces me to eat two a day."
Eggs, they say they can grow faster this way, but I actually don’t want to grow up at all. Do you like growing up?"
The monkey put down his rice bowl without even a grain of rice left. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "I really hope to grow up, so I hope that I can have a full stomach and never be bullied again."
Yun Er looked around, but didn't see Yun Da and Bacon. He quickly poured the rice, vegetables and half an egg from his own bowl into the monkey's rice bowl, winked at the monkey, and then shouted loudly, Bacon, saying that he
After eating, I want to drink soup.
Bacon came out of the house and looked at Yun Er's rice bowl in confusion, and then at Monkey's bare rice bowl warily. Then he scooped out a bowl of soup and gave it to Yun Er. After thinking about it, he gave it to Monkey and Han Niu as well.
A bowl.
Hanniu ate half of the egg and was still thinking about the delicious food he had just eaten. He couldn't remember the last time he ate eggs. In short, it was a long, long time ago.
I didn't sleep in the open air at night, but in a formal bamboo house. There was no shortage of blankets and cushions. Although there was golden straw under me, it was not surprising that everyone spread it.
I haven't seen Zhang Dahu since I woke up, but the name seems to be false, because the monkey heard other children calling the clean child Yun Er, and by analogy, his eldest brother should be called Yun Da.
I heard that Yunda was recuperating from his injuries, and his face was so swollen that he couldn't see anyone. The people in the village even hired a bone-setter for him. It seemed that Han Niu's punch was not that good.
Lying on the soft hay, Monkey stared at the moon outside the window in a daze. How long had it been since anyone had felt so comfortable? Even though his feet were still shackled, he still felt relaxed all over his body.
The people here will not kill themselves and Han Niu. The monkey can feel it. From the moment he wakes up, the monkey knows that because his heart does not feel the danger, he allows Han Niu to accept Yun Er's beef jerky.
, he was a robber and broke other people's houses, so he felt that it was only natural that he should be punished.
After sleeping in a daze until midnight, Han Niu sat up with a start and pushed the monkey gently. The monkey opened its eyes in confusion, and Han Niu's eyes seemed to be shining. He raised his ears vigilantly to listen to what was going on outside.
Then he looked out the window and said quietly to the monkey: "Let's run. No one is watching us. Run quickly."
Monkey had no choice but to say that he was unwilling to run away. Seeing Han Niu's resolute face, he had no choice but to follow his brother's temper. Only he understood how unwilling Han Niu was to stay in this village any longer, even if he could have a full stomach.
The two of them grabbed the iron chain and walked along the hillside. Fortunately, the moonlight was extremely bright tonight, so they could still see the road clearly among the grass and leaves.
Xanthium, who was guarding the silk in the stockade, had long seen these two sneaky figures. He scratched his head and asked the lame man next to him who was constantly playing with the saw: "What are they doing if they don't sleep well?"
The lame man glanced over there, continued to play with his saw, and said impatiently: "What else can I do? I am afraid that we will send them to the official to behead them, so I want to run away."
"Yunda doesn't plan to send him to the official position. He said that there are two young boys in the family. He plans to get rid of his wild temper and become a new man. People in the Yun family are not that bad, right? Bacon's life is better than that of the girls in the village.
?”
"They didn't know, so they wanted to run away." The lame man carefully oiled his saw and put it away.
"If you want to run away, why don't you go through the gate? That area is full of traps to prevent wild boars. What if you fall in?"
"If you fall in, you'll fall in. After you fall in, you'll sleep in there all night, and then go out to catch them at dawn." The lame man found it very difficult to talk to Xanthium sibiricum, so he yawned loudly, and leaned against the pillar with his arms folded to rest his mind.
.
The screams of the monkey and Han Niu when they fell into the trap didn't even make him open his eyes. Xanthium bared his teeth and shuddered. At this time, there was more than a foot of dirty water in the trap. At night in the mountains, it was very strange.
