Chapter 31 Clay Figure
After finishing the chicken legs, Zhou Huaishan took a few sips of the stream water and smiled at Zhou Ping and said, "Have you ever played with clay figurines?"
Zhou Ping chewed the chicken bones and said, "Of course."
"Have you ever played with clay figures?"
Zhou Ping sat up and looked towards Zhou Huaishan.
Snapped!
Zhou Huaishan had prepared a lump of mud in his hand and patted it directly on Zhou Ping.
After taking the photo, he turned around and jumped away, laughing.
Zhou Ping
Is my second uncle crazy?
Zhou Huaishan and Zhou Ping's playful play soon attracted other children in the village.
The fight between the two immediately turned into a multi-person melee.
The sun sets over the western mountains and the sky turns dark.
Without the light, farm work in the fields can no longer be done, and people in the village go home one after another.
However, until it was time to eat, the little boy who usually gets anxious when he smells the smell of food never showed up.
"Runzi, go home for dinner!"
"Daqiaozi, go home for dinner!"
"Tiedanzi, go home for dinner!"
"Second brother, Pingzi, go home for dinner!"
Among the many voices calling the children home, there was Zhao's voice.
However, no matter how much the parents called, there was no sign of the child. The parents became anxious and every household went out to search.
This dispatch brought out almost half the village.
"Your children haven't come back either?"
"You haven't come back home yet?"
"Where can the children go?"
"Don't go to the back mountain."
"Oh my god! There are wolves and poisonous snakes in the back mountain."
"Hurry, hurry up."
With a lot of chatter, everyone, led by the clan leader, ran towards the back mountain holding torches.
Zhou Qing sat on Zhou Huailin's mule cart, watching the spectacular torches approach from a distance, and twitched his eyes, "Third uncle, is our village celebrating the Torch Festival?"
There is no such section in my memory.
Zhou Huailin shook his head, "Maybe someone has lost something, and everyone is looking for it."
The crowd and the mule cart were heading towards each other and soon met.
When Zhao saw Zhou Huailin, she rushed forward with weak legs and feet, "His father, second brother and Pingzi are missing. They said they might have gone up the back mountain."
Zhao rushed forward suddenly, startling Zhou Huailin.
However, her words made Zhou Huailin jump out of the mule cart.
"What?"
Mrs. Zhao cried: "Many children in the village have disappeared. Could it be his father? There are wolves in the back mountains!"
Zhou Huailin immediately turned to Zhou Qing and said: "."
Before Zhou Huailin could speak, Zhou Qing had already jumped out of the car, "My third uncle and I will go look for him together."
After saying that, Zhou Qing said to Shen Li: "Can you drive two cars back by yourself?"
Shen Li nodded, "You go first, I'll send the car back and come back."
The troops were divided into two groups and took action immediately.
Following the villagers, Zhou Qing was worried all the way.
In the crowd, the men kept shouting the children's names with livid faces, and the women couldn't help crying.
If you really meet a wolf
The guys ran all the way up the mountain, and when they were about to reach the river at the bottom of the mountain, they heard a loud noise.
It's the voices of children.
As soon as they heard this lively sound, the anxious parents breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he breathed out another breath.
"Hahahahaha, Pingzi, if you don't speak, I won't even recognize you."
"You too, hahahaha, you are covered in mud, you are really a clay man."
"Only Uncle Huaishan can recognize it, but no one else can tell the difference."
In the dark sky, the children were standing by the river, happily smearing mud on themselves.
At a glance, there are clay figures high and low. If they stand still, they are no different from the eighteen bronze figures in the temple.
Among a group of dwarf clay figures, Zhou Qing saw Zhou Huaishan at a glance.
It’s impossible not to see him, such a big man, standing out from the crowd, scooping up mud and smearing it on his arms.
Zhou Qing was so angry that he almost fainted.
The parents came with torches, and the children looked at the parents with wide eyes in panic.
Parents.
Seeing the monkey-like cub in front of me, I couldn't suppress the anger in my heart. I just wanted to rush over and kick him so that the wolves could eat him!
How anxious and scared I was just now, now I want to hit someone so much.
However.
A group of clay monkeys stood in front of them, and it was impossible to tell who was whose child.
The patriarch stood at the front, looking at the situation in front of him, his beard trembling with anger. There were so many children, it was difficult to get angry, so his anger went directly to the stupid big one among the group of children.
"Whose family do you belong to? Why don't you go to the fields with your parents when you are so old? Why do you come here to fool around! If you want to fool around, be careful. You can come to this back mountain?"
Zhou Qing hurried forward and dragged Zhou Huaishan out of the pit.
"Sorry, sorry patriarch, this is my dad."
Zhou Huaishan lowered his head and let Zhou Qing pull him out. When Zhou Qing's voice came out, everyone was so shocked that their eyes did not drop.
What?
who?
That lumpy second son of the Zhou family?
this.
Looking at the clay figure in front of them, it was difficult for everyone to connect him with the honest man Zhou Huaishan.
As soon as Zhou Huaishan came out, Zhou Ping followed him out with his basket on his back and stood next to Zhou Huaishan.
As soon as Zhou Ping appeared, Zhou Huailin came up and kicked him, "I asked you to study with your second uncle at home, but you came here to feed the wolves! I'm so tired of living!"
After kicking him over and seeing what was in the basket, Zhou Huailin followed up with another kick.
"This is the apprenticeship ceremony your senior brother gave to your second uncle. Why are you reciting it?"
Zhou Ping felt aggrieved and said, "My second uncle asked me to carry it out. My second uncle said that he was afraid that we would not be around, so he asked me and my aunt to take it away."
everyone
Could it be that Zhou Huaishan came here to fool around with the children to avoid the Sun family and the Wang family?
Could it be that he couldn't stay at home anymore?
After all, Zhou Huaishan is an honest man. Everyone would rather believe that Zhou Huaishan came out to play in the mud because he was bullied by the Sun family and Wang family and could not stay at home. They would not believe that it was Zhou Huaishan who came willingly.
Otherwise, when I go out, I have to carry the apprenticeship ceremony on my back.
Everyone looked at Zhou Huaishan sympathetically.
The patriarch coughed and said, "Don't even look at where this place is. The children are young and immature, but you should know how powerful it is! Okay, I'll go tell your father and learn from now on in a down-to-earth manner at home."
Since it was Zhou Huaishan, it was hard for him to reprimand him. After all, he was an adult and an honest kind of adult.
Zhou Qing smiled apologetically at the clan leader, "I've caused trouble for Third Master."
The clan leader said nothing and turned to look at the group of almost identical high and low mud monkeys.
"What are you doing? Why don't you hurry up and go to your parents? I'm really waiting to get home and get beaten!"
Upon hearing this, the mud monkeys moved towards their parents.
The pace is called reluctance.
It was as if his procrastination could really escape the fact that he would go home and be beaten.
After everyone received their babies, they not only went home, but also staged a scene of violent beatings.
For a moment, screams could be heard one after another at the foot of the back mountain.
Zhou Qing looked at Zhou Huaishan coldly and gritted his teeth, "Do you know what I want to do now?"
