Chapter 179 The Shocking Little Stone
Gu Mingyue acted funny on purpose, and only then did his uncle and the others feel relieved.
As they were talking, Guangrong came over holding the crying and hiccuping little Shitou, who held out his hand tightly and said, "Auntie... wuwu..."
Guangrong explained anxiously, "She kept crying on the way back and no matter how I comforted her, she wouldn't stop."
Seeing that Guangrong was also scared and anxious, he held Xiao Shitou in his arms and patted his shoulder with his other hand, "He must be frightened. I'll comfort him and he'll be fine. Don't worry, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard. I didn't help much." Guangrong said a little frustrated.
Gu Mingyue said seriously, "How could that be? You helped Auntie a lot. If you hadn't taken Little Stone away, Auntie wouldn't have been able to fight the enemy with peace of mind. Otherwise, why would I have entrusted him to you in the first place?"
Guangrong couldn't help but tears up his eyes. "Really?"
Gu Mingyue affirmed, "It's absolutely true!"
Worried about leaving a shadow on the children, she asked Guangrong to gather the people who had just been on the mountain together, clapped her hands and said, "Today, I want to especially praise the children who came back to report the news. Thanks to their fearlessness in the face of danger and obedience to orders, I can have no worries. They are little heroes. I suggest that as a reward, we share the wild duck eggs we picked up, and give each person two. Do you have any objections?"
The villagers shouted "No!"
When he got home, Little Stone was still listless.
Gu Mingyue teased him deliberately, "Ah, Auntie hasn't hugged our little Shitou for a long time. I miss it so much. It's like hugging a small heater. It's so caring!"
The little guy raised his head and rubbed her cheek with admiration, "Let aunt hold you."
Seeing that he had calmed down a little, I asked softly, "Are you scared?"
Little Stone whispered, "I'm afraid my aunt won't come back."
"Isn't this back? Auntie won a great victory and beat the bad guys to a pulp. Do you believe it?"
Little Stone nodded and said, "I believe it." Then he said sadly, "But I can't help my aunt, and Brother Guangrong is exhausted from holding me."
"Auntie asks you, taking today's incident as an example, what do you think is helping?"
Little Stone thought for a moment and said, "Let's beat the bad guys together."
Gu Mingyue held him in front of her, looked him straight in the face, and patiently explained, "No, auntie will tell you a word, called 'clear division of labor'. Take cooking as an example. You are small and can't reach the stove, so you are responsible for washing vegetables. Auntie, on the other hand, is good at cooking, so she is responsible for cooking. This way, we can have a delicious meal quickly. If it is the other way around, you are obviously not good at cooking, but you are afraid that auntie will be tired, so you insist on doing it. Guess what will happen?"
Little Stone tilted his head to think for a while, then answered, "If that happens, my aunt and I won't have any food to eat. Besides, my aunt... likes delicious food. If I don't cook well, she will have to cook it again, which is even more tiring."
Gu Mingyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Are you trying to say that my aunt is picky about food?"
The little guy was obviously feeling guilty and shook his head and waved his hands, "No, no."
Gu Mingyue did not expose him, and continued, "Auntie gave you this example to tell you that if you do what you are good at, your work efficiency will be higher. Back to the present, if you had stayed at that time, Auntie would have to be distracted to take care of you, and then I would not be able to concentrate, and I might not be able to beat the bad guys, or even be captured by the bad guys. Do you understand now? Your leaving does not mean that you are useless. Only when everyone does what they can and should do can we effectively repel the bad guys. Tell Auntie, do you still feel useless?"
Little Stone said seriously like a little adult, "Aunt, please wait for me. I will grow up quickly. Next time I meet a bad guy, I won't be the one to be protected."
Gu Mingyue was shocked!
She really didn't expect the little guy to say such words. She felt a sense of relief that her child had grown up, and a sense of accomplishment, like, look, I raised such a sensible child!
"Okay, let's make a deal. When little Shitou grows up, you will always be my aunt's backer and let me lean on you, okay?" Gu Mingyue said as she extended her little finger. "Pin it!"
Little Stone finally smiled. "We'll make a promise and stick to it for a hundred years."
After this incident, the whole village was in a state of panic for a long time, and not only the children but also the women had to travel in groups when going out.
During this period, there were people who came to borrow grain, but the villagers all refused.
In private, families that get along well with each other would secretly take food out in the middle of the night.
This is exactly what my sister-in-law's family did, just to avoid being targeted.
After a month of rest, Guangliang recovered.
As a result, the sister-in-law has been very attentive to Da Mao and Er Mao recently, and is no longer as fearful of them as before.
Because she believed that Guangliang's good recovery was largely due to the fact that Gu Mingyue sent him a pheasant from time to time.
As the main force in catching pheasants, Da Mao and Er Mao's status has risen!
Every meal was delicious Feilong soup. The first thing Guangliang did after recovering was to intensify his training, otherwise, he was really afraid that his eight-pack abs would become just one.
That day, Gu Mingyue found Guangliang and said mysteriously, "A few days ago, Xiao Laosan ran around and fell off a cliff. Fortunately, he was caught by a vine in the mountains. Da Mao came back and called me for help. Then, guess what happened?"
Xiao Lao San was the name given to the lynx cub at home. After Xiao Yi and Xiao Er, calling him Xiao San felt awkward, so we changed it to Xiao Lao San.
Guangliang has a calm personality and is not as jumpy as Guangsheng and the others. Seeing Gu Mingyue's mysterious look, he asked directly, "Did you find anything interesting?"
Gu Mingyue puffed her lips and said unhappily, "You are not as good as Guangsheng in this respect. If it were him, he would definitely jump up and cheer excitedly at this moment instead of revealing spoilers. Boring."
Guangliang said helplessly, "Aunt, I guess the place you mentioned is too deep, and it's not easy to take Guangsheng there. Otherwise, you wouldn't have told me here and would have gone there secretly a long time ago."
Gu Mingyue's eyes widened, "How do you know!" After realizing that she had let the cat out of the bag, she quickly tried to save face, "Ahem... I mean, don't make blind guesses. How can you know what I'm thinking?"
Guangliang sighed, "You are right, so what did you find?"
Without interrupting, Gu Mingyue said, "It's a cave, it's quite long, I don't dare to go in, let's go explore together, shall we?"
"Is there anything you dare not do?" Guangliang asked in surprise.
Gu Mingyue put her hands on her hips and said, "What kind of words are you talking about? You don't allow people to be afraid."
Guangliang laughed. "I didn't mean anything else. I just wanted to praise you for finally not being so foolish and bold. Otherwise, my father would definitely nag you."
Recalling Gu Mingwei's increasingly nagging behavior, Gu Mingyue subconsciously felt her ears itchy and quickly said, "Don't mention your father. Look at my ears. They're automatically red. Are you going or not? Just treat it as exercise. If you get fatter, won't your teammates laugh at you when you go back?"
Gu Mingyue raised his neck proudly and said, "Come on, let's hurt each other."
Guangliang knew he didn't have the eloquence of his aunt, so he immediately gave in and said, "Go, I'll go right away. I'll get dressed and go with you now, okay?"
Gu Mingyue snorted, "Little guy, I can't deal with you yet. Go to the foot of the mountain and wait. I'll go call Guan Youliang and we'll go together."
