Initially, he never would have thought that there would be so many people at home. Fortunately Dou Wang and Lin Chunnuan were not around, otherwise, it would really be insufficient, and Zhang Liu was glad that his daughter did not listen to him when he was buying, and had instead bought a few more bowls. Otherwise, it would really be awkward.
There were not enough chairs to sit on and not enough food. However, they were all eating on the brick bed then, and since they were all young men, it was inconvenient to eat on the brick bed. Besides, the table was not big enough.
An Zi was also a young lad who was willing to speak, and had already started addressing Zhang Liu like beans.
But Zhang Liu felt that she should treat her elders like this.
"Zhang Liu, don't always be like this, this old granny cannot accept it. Furthermore, you are the boss, how can you take care of this old granny."
Chinese milkvetch root said some polite words, but his heart was very comfortable. Zhang Liu's wife was so nice, she reached out and patted the back of Zhang Liu's hand, smiling from ear to ear.
"Fine, you don't have to be courteous with aunty, but aunty, don't say that you're old. Aunt is still so young, and you're already saying something that doesn't make you old. This makes us juniors feel uncomfortable."
Chinese milkvetch root's eyes were a little red. It had been many years since she had heard such comforting words. Although her son was filial, he was still a kid after all.
"Alright, hurry and eat. The dishes are already cold."
"Come, try this meat of deer. It's not easy to eat it normally."
"Right, right, right. Hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, get on the brick bed and lie down. After you rest, you'll have to build a house."
Chinese milkvetch root also quickly rubbed his eyes, telling the children to hurry up and eat, he had gotten up from town early in the morning, and directly went to chop wood, if he did not rest now, he would really tire out.
Who wouldn't want to defy them in good times? It's just that these children had been with Mingzi for a long time, they were all like her own children. There was nothing that Chinese milkvetch root didn't pity, they were also filial to Chinese milkvetch root.
Lin Chunnuan and Dou Wang were still working hard on the mountain. This time, the two of them brought a total of four baskets here, two were bigger and two were smaller, the bigger ones were obviously for Dou Wang to carry, and the smaller ones were for Lin Chunnuan.
When the two of them reached the mountain, Dou Wang sent Lin Chunnuan to the side of the tea forest. He then went to pick mint, and also brought Little Spot along.
Seeing that the two leopards had stopped, Dou Wang untied the cloth strip on the back of Great cheetah's leg and changed it. The great leopard's leg had recovered very well and its external injuries were almost healed.
Of course, this was only seen from the outside, a fracture was not something that could be healed in a short period of time. Although Dou Wang did not understand the high end of the term bones and veins, but he did understand that a fracture was difficult to recover from. As the saying goes, a injury takes a hundred days, and the great leopard had only recovered for a few days, it was still far from being completely healed.
"You have to be good. When you're not hungry, don't run around, okay? "This fracture is mainly for maintenance. You are running all over the place, and if the bones ever get crooked, that will be something big that will happen to you for the rest of your life. I did my best to help you heal the bones, and at that time you can't blame me for not being skilled enough."
Dou Wang only cared about nagging at the Great cheetah. He didn't care if the other person could understand his words, but his hands did not slow down as he changed the Great cheetah's mint juice into a fresh cloth and tied it up. This was prepared for the great leopard before they left the mountain, although he did not know if he would actually meet it.
"You play with Spotty for a while, I'm going to pick mint."
Dou Wang stopped writing with the Great cheetah and turned to pick mint. The mint grew the best in this area, although there were some elsewhere as well, but they were all scattered and only grew in this area, it was very dense. Dou Wang just needed to come here to gather some and he would be able to fill up two of the big wicker basket.
It was faster to pick mint than to pick tea, because it could be picked in a single pinch, unlike tea, which could only be pinched at a small point, and it didn't matter if it was even a little dirty because it could be washed when it got back, so Dou Wang was quick and finished picking mint near noon.
"great leopard, let's go look for spring heat. Are you coming with me?"
While Dou Wang was speaking, Little Spot had already jumped onto the Great cheetah's back. Dou Wang was about to walk towards the warm spring, but who knew that the great leopard would suddenly disappear in a flash.
"Sigh, where did you go? Do you want to come with me to see warm spring? Or — — did you bring Little Spot away? Hey, great leopard, are you coming back yet?"
Dou Wang shouted twice but was unable to get the two leopards back. He was a little anxious and shouted loudly.
In the end, he still did not hear a reply, so Dou Wang was in a very bad mood. He pursed his lips, put the basket on his back, and looked in the direction the two leopards had disappeared in, but he really couldn't see it anymore. Dou Wang could only walk back in disappointment, and along the way, he kept looking back.
"What's wrong? Why does he look like he's in a bad mood?"
When Lin Chunnuan came out of the tea house, she had just finished picking a basket of tea leaves. She carefully placed the basket on the side and came over to help Dou Wang put down the two big baskets on his body.
"The great leopard has taken the little leopard away."
The more he walked in this direction, the more he felt that he couldn't keep the two leopards, and his heart felt especially uncomfortable. Furthermore, he also felt that he was sorry to have the warmth of a spring;
"Did the great leopard take the little leopard away?"
Lin Chunnuan was also shocked.
"No, a fracture is not that easy to heal. Since the great leopard gave the small dot to you to raise, then it shouldn't have healed it so early."
"But it just left. Little Spot sat on the great leopard's back, and then the two of them disappeared with a whoosh. I yelled for a long time, but I still couldn't call them back.
Dou Wang really was a bit sad. Although he hadn't been with Little Spot for a long time, Little Spot was still very rare.
"I don't think they will leave. Maybe the great leopard is just bringing the little leopard for a stroll in the forest."
Although Lin Chunnuan felt that the two leopards were gone, but reality was reality. She didn't know how to comfort Dou Wang either, so she could only spout nonsense.
"Really? Will he really come back?"
Dou Wang really believed in warm spring words, so when he heard warm spring say that the two leopards had only gone for a stroll, he became spirited. However, in Lin Chunnuan's heart, he sighed, "I'm just spouting nonsense, big brother. Can you not take it seriously, I'm only trying to comfort you."
The sound was getting louder and louder, and the distance between them was obviously getting closer and closer. At this moment, Lin Chunnuan was really not afraid, she seemed to have a premonition that there was no danger this time, the great leopard had returned.
Lin Chunnuan pointed in Sha Sha Sha's direction as she listened carefully.
"Listen, Wangzhige, Sha Sha's voice, the great leopard must have returned."
Dou Wang also heard the voice, but he didn't dare confirm that it was the great leopard, so he immediately stood in front of Lin Chunnuan, shielding her behind him.
Rustle, rustle, rustle, rustle, rustle, swish.
"It's really a great leopard. Wangzhige, the great leopard has returned."
Dou Wang naturally saw it too, and ran over, quickly bringing the two leopards back. So great leopard went to get their prey, this time there were three pheasants, Little Spot was busy looking after the three pheasants on Daddy's back, not letting them fall.
"The great leopard is for Little Spot to eat."
Dou Wang grabbed the two stalks of grass beside him and twisted them skillfully to tie the three pheasants together. Then, he hung them on a high branch and Little Spot looked as if he was relieved, making Lin Chunnuan extremely amused.
"Let's hurry up and eat. After eating, we'll go down the mountain and gather the remaining baskets."
Lin Chunnuan covered the tea leaves and mint basket with a cloth and placed them under the shade of a tree. She took out the scallion pancake and the meat of deer that her mother brought him that morning.
The moment he took it out, Little Spot pounced on him. This fragrance was too familiar. He was hungry and hadn't had any meat for the whole morning. Dou Wang pointed at the pheasant hanging on the tree.
"Little Spot, you're hungry too. That's your food. Can I get one for you?"
Just as Dou Wang was about to get up, Little Spot chirped at him, trying to please him by making fun of him. was really adorable.
