Poor family mother and son

Chapter 522 Shui Xiaomao's "Difficult Brother"

When the men emptied the boat, assembled, and prepared to "lift the cargo" with ropes, Hou Ze rushed back: "Don't go, just wait!"

When the first ray of sunlight shone through the leaves in the morning, Shui Maomao swam to the opposite bank against the mosquito bags on his eyelids.

Hou Ze was counting the goods all over the floor, and the men moved the goods he had counted to their own boats bit by bit.

Next to the goods, there were several corpses of crows, and there were scraps of silver, rings, pendants and other small things on those corpses.

"They're gone!" Hou Ze reported to Shui Maomao, "They moved the goods overnight, and then burned incense and kowtowed after moving, you see!"

Next to the crow's body, there was a rough censer and a few pancakes.

Hou Ze told Shui Maomao and everyone what happened last night.

Because the little old man fell asleep waiting, Hou Ze was reluctant to wake him up, and kept the passion of telling the story for the first time, because the second time it would not be so full of emotion.

But after holding it in for a whole night, he still processed and polished a lot in his heart, and he would be suffocated to death if he didn't tell it!

After finishing the story of last night vividly, everyone enjoyed listening to it!
Someone commented disdainfully: "Hmph! The bow of the boat saved their lives! Otherwise, we'd 'plant' them into the bottom of the river!"

They have done a lot of "doing justice for the sky", and they seem to think that they are the judges of the underworld.

Some people also said: "Then he also saved his life, otherwise, the gang would have to kill him and share the spoils?"

Shui Xiaomao, who was tying a basket to the side to catch small fish and shrimps, disagreed: "Our crows don't command them, they won't actively attack people, how can they kill them!"

The crow babies are very sensible, so they are not as cruel as they say!

Shui Damao thought a little more, and said, "Not necessarily. Both crows and magpies like shiny things. If those people go to look through the cargo and find that there are silver and precious stones on board, they will definitely take them. Those people have no choice. Drive them away? Once it hurts, they will take revenge!"

This is true.

Crows and magpies are close relatives and share the same habits.

They like to collect shiny things to decorate their nests, so that when it comes time to court, they can lead their "girlfriend" to visit the newly prepared house, show off their aesthetic taste, and increase the chances of a successful marriage.

Shui Xiaomao was indifferent to this statement, but when magpies were mentioned, Shui Xiaomao slapped his head: "It's bad! I called them all yesterday, but I didn't let the magpies come out to play, I should be angry!"

He hurriedly went to check the fish baskets in the distance again, regardless of whether the fish was large or small, he did not sort them out, but brought them up, waving the cloth strips and whistling.

(Yes, you have to pay for empty driving)
But where is this little fish and shrimp enough?Shui Xiaomao put on his clothes in a hurry.

Xiaobao comforted him: "Don't be afraid, bring the grain bag, get out some sorghum, corn, and wheat!"

Shui Xiaomao disagreed: "That's all food!"

Xiaobao said: "Give your friend something good to eat, let's have a tooth-beating festival! I'll bring some food later."

Don't look at the fact that Chuan Gang is not short of money, but they are all very frugal.

Hearing Xiaobao say to give some good food to his friends, Shui Xiaomao thinks it makes sense: "Then little brother, you can also feed them later, they will get close to you."

Xiaobao has fed the crow before, and will feed the magpie later.

The discussion of adults continues:

"The bow of the boat is also quite unlucky. With such a group of people, it's never certain that someone will 'do' it!"

"No!"

"Hey, people are poor and short-sighted, and horses are thin and long-haired. For money, what can't be done?"

"How do you think people can do that!"

"Don't say "people", a large group of people are thrown down with one shot, as if they are all like that, they are not the same as us, we and the gang leader are close friends and relatives! They are just looking for a place to make a living!

"You said that the bow of the ship took over the job, and he will be responsible for the investigation. He saved everyone's life, so what should he do?"

This made everyone unable to think of an answer.

Hou Ze said: "I heard what they said, it seems that no one will look for them in the Meng family for a while, after all, it is a long-distance shipment, and there is no certainty when they will come back;
They planned to sneak back home and run away with their families overnight. They said that even being a refugee was better than being killed by the Crow God. "

Everyone nodded, there was no better way.

When Xiaobao heard it, he felt a little bit uncomfortable - isn't this a burden to others?
There are always many helplessness in life.

You may meet good people, they will not harm your mind, and they can help you and relieve your worries.

But people will change, and different people are different individuals, with different interests to choose from.

Even if they are friends, they hold different weights in each other's hearts. Who knows when there will be any changes?
When you can bring benefits to them, the human nature of a friend is kind; when you cannot bring benefits to him, perhaps, his human nature is selfish.

But when you touch his interests, your friend's humanity...maybe become evil.

It can only be said that the boss of the boat met people unkindly and made friends carelessly... Well, he can't be regarded as a friend either.

The magpies have been called by Shui Xiaomao, and they are flying here one after another.

Xiaobao is happy.

After feeding the magpies, Xiaobao took out two pearls the size of little fingers and handed them to Shui Xiaomao, asking him to bring them to the magpies who were tracking the cargo ship all the way.

"Go!" Shui Xiaomao gave a task to one of the magpies, and then said to Xiaobao: "This thing can be exchanged for enough money to live on the bow of the boat for several years. How many times does he need to transport goods to earn so much money!"

Seeing that Xiaobao just bowed his head and didn't respond, Shui Xiaomao said again: "The bow of the boat knows that there is something wrong with the brick, so he just pretends not to see it."

Shui Damao has always put his ear on Xiaobao's side, and he also said when he heard this: "There are times when good people narrow the road, and there are times when bad people donate money. Why are there so many ideas!"

Xiaobao still didn't speak, but nodded.I've done everything, what's the use of thinking so much.

Anyway, Shui Damao's words made Xiao Bao feel less entangled.

Shui Xiaomao immediately changed the subject: "You can't go wrong with giving the bead to 'Calpa', it's so powerful, you can't go wrong if you let it transfer things."

"Calpalum" is the magpie carrying the pearl, and it has an unusual relationship with Shui Xiaomao.

When Shui Xiaomao was just learning to walk, the men couldn't take the children with them every day to take care of them, so they enclosed the children in the yard and let the older ones take care of the younger ones.

But sometimes the men can't come back in time when they are outside, what should the children do if they are hungry?
At this time, the older children will start a fire and cook, regardless of whether it is delicious or not, as long as they fill their stomachs and do not cause a fire.

Once, there was no more firewood in the yard, and the older child went out to collect it. When he came back, he brought a little magpie who had injured himself when he was just learning to fly. Its parents didn't know where it had gone.

This magpie became Shui Xiaomao's "brother", because one learned to walk and the other learned to fly.Those who are stumbling are really a pair of brothers and sisters.
