Poor family mother and son

Chapter 523 Put it away quickly while no one sees it
The older children have to work every day, helping their younger brothers and sisters wash clothes and dry fish. They are very busy every day, and the little magpie has become Shui Xiaomao's best playmate.

When Shui Xiaomao was finally able to walk for a while without falling, the little magpie recovered from his injuries and could fly.

As a reward for Shui Xiaomao learning to walk, Shui Maomao brought back a meat bun for Shui Xiaomao that day.

It was the first time the little baby ate such a delicious food. He shared a bite with the little magpie, and the little magpie ate a big bite, and he only ate a little bit.

That day, the little magpie, who had eaten the first steamed stuffed bun in his life, flew away after flying in the yard for a while. Shui Xiaomao cried for a long time, because the older child said that it would not come back once it could fly.

At dinner time, the little magpie came back with a red catalpa fruit in its mouth for Xiaomao.

Since then, Shui Xiaomao has called it "Calpagoda".

The two of them eat together every day.

However, the magpie is a bird after all, and it eats miscellaneous things. If the children can’t get enough to eat twice a day, they will go out to look for food every day.

"Cathalpa" would bring something back to Shui Xiaomao every day, sometimes it was a catalpa fruit, sometimes it was beautiful little stones, sometimes it was even gold earrings or pieces of silver.

Once, it brought back a group of magpies, and the children were very happy, because then they also had magpie friends.

Later, magpies and crows often visited their yard, even if they changed places to live, they would come to find them.

When the children met magpies and crows outside, they would also give them food.

Both magpies and crows like to make friends. After a long time, the children have a huge number of bird friends.

Because "Calpalum" is closest to Shui Xiaomao, it will also imitate Shui Xiaomao to do things. If Shui Xiaomao is asked by adults to deliver things, it will follow.

Slowly, the children trained the birds to send letters and find things, and they were not idle anyway.

Water Ermao even trained them to speak.

Sometimes when magpies and crows came to play with the children, they would hear "little old man", "maomao" or something like a dog barking from time to time.

"Talpa" did not learn to speak, but he and Hou Ze learned to whistle!
As soon as he saw a beautiful girl passing by, before Hou Ze opened his mouth, "Calpa" whistled out. Once, Hou Ze even slapped a girl in the mouth for no reason.

"Unfortunately, 'Calpa' is a bit old." Shui Xiaomao ended this topic with some sadness.

"Cathalpa" is one year younger than Shui Xiaomao, and is seven years old this year. Shui Maomao said that the lifespan of a magpie is only eight or nine years.

It's over, I just changed Xiaobao's mood, but I made my own mood bad.

Although the "Cathalpas" were not as fast as the pigeons, they were more than enough to catch up with those boats.

And as the head bird, the team of "Talpa" can be described as spectacular.

Satisfied, they sang along the way, making more magpies join their ranks.

When "Talpa" approached the cargo ship, he called a series of "cha-cha-cha-cha", informing his partners that the target is here, and his companions also responded to the chirping calls, saying: Received the news.

The first few magpies made the boat boss and his boatmen feel much better.

The atmosphere of everyone along the way was very low, and they were unable to extricate themselves from fear. The cry of the magpies gave them a sense of averting danger.

They looked up to find the source of the sound, hoping to see the auspicious magpie, so they saw it—the magpie chirping like a dark cloud and chasing after them.

The bewildered boatmen all widened their eyes and opened their mouths, forgetting what they were doing, and looked up in a daze.

A few magpies swooped down and landed on the deck of the boat, pacing around, and more magpies hovered above, blocking out the sunlight.

Isn't the magpie an auspicious bird?What are they... wanting to do?

The boatmen who had been frightened by the crow all night bowed down on the spot without waiting for the order of the boat boss!

The boss of the boat looked at the magpies, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse, and was very worried, but his reaction was not to kneel down, but to search himself immediately to see if he could find the copper coins.

Naturally, he didn't have it on him, but he had it in his luggage. When he went out, he couldn't take too much money with him. He always had to bring some broken silver and copper coins.

He turned around and ran to the cabin.

"Cathalpa" flew in after him.

The boat boss shook his hands to untie the knot, but because of his nervousness, he couldn't even grasp the knot.

"Crack!" A round bead the size of a little finger landed on the bag.

The sudden noise and falling things made the boss of the boat tremble, and he took a closer look: Pearl?

He looked at "Talpa" suspiciously, but "Calpa" opened his mouth, "Crack!" Another pearl of the same size fell down.

"Calpalum" landed on his bag, stepped on two pearls regretfully, and whistled: "What a beautiful little thing, I can't take it home."

After stepping on it, my heart was balanced, "Talpa" turned and flew out of the cabin, and took off into the air with two "cha-cha".

The magpies hovering in the air also responded to it, and some of them forgot that they still had small fruits or small stones in their mouths, and dropped them as soon as they opened their mouths.

"Magpie Cloud" flew away singing all the way again.

The boatmen who kowtowed on the ground found that there were "rewards" from magpies in front of them: some were grapes, some were beautiful pebbles, and one person got a key!
The first reaction of the ship boss who received the pearl in the cabin was: How do you feel being molested by that bird?
How does it whistle to itself?
Just like the movement of the boatman molesting the laundry girl,
Quickly hold the pearl, hold it in the palm of your hand, feel it, it is a real pearl.

I couldn't help but looked around, but no one came in, so I opened my palm and looked at it again: Haizhu!Not River Pearl!
At this time, the boatmen's comments came from outside:

"Is it true that we have been forgiven by the gods? The magpie is here to report the news?"

"Shouldn't it? You see, they didn't give us a 'grave head'!"

"We even gave us a reward!"

The boss of the ship quickly put the pearls next to his body and walked to the deck.

The boatmen were still kneeling on the ground. When they saw the boss of the boat coming out, they all looked at him questioningly, wondering what he got?

The boss of the boat rolled his eyes and said, "Just now, I wanted to find some copper coins for them, but their head bird followed me into the house, slapped me, but confiscated my money, and blew several times toward the east. "

The boatmen looked at each other: what does this mean?
"What does this mean?" The boat boss continued: "This is the lesson the magpie taught us about our greed, and it's also because I didn't take you well!

However, we didn't do anything harmful, so we just gave me a wing!But also pointed out the way, hurry home! "

The boatmen suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, they are flying towards the east!"

"Yes, I saw it too, but I had to kowtow and didn't dare to look more."

"Then let's go back quickly!"

"Yes, boss, let's stop dawdling, hurry up and stop the boat."

The boss of the boat nodded: "I will take you to kowtow three more times. I have to thank the Crow God for letting us go, and thank the Magpie God for coming to give us advice! Light the incense!"
