Chapter 3 Five-Colored Fairy Fruit

"Hey, where's the little green cat?" Mengsheng suddenly remembered the little thing that was almost swallowed by the big green snake. Although I didn't take my life for it, I was also scraped by the reeds and bloody. Mengsheng searched everywhere.

"Here it is. Mengsheng found that the little green cat was biting on the head of the big snake.

"What are you doing, little thing?" said Mengsheng to the little green cat.

The little green cat glanced at Mengsheng, still biting the snake's head, and its two front paws pulled hard. "Meow!" With a cheerful cry, a round ball the size of a golden pigeon's egg came out of his mouth, and when he saw Mengsheng standing on the side, he held it with its two front paws and sent it to Mengsheng's hand.

Looking at the bloody golden pigeon eggs, Mengsheng dared to take it, and regardless of whether it could understand it or not, he shook his hand and said, "I don't want it, please use it yourself." ”

The little green cat glanced at Mengsheng gratefully, and then ate it with relish, smiling humanly with a small face, and after a while, he ate the pigeon egg, and kept licking his two front paws. Then he jumped into the arms of Mengsheng. Mengsheng was knocked to the ground and sat down, and subconsciously hugged it tightly without caring about the bloody hands. Suddenly, the little green cat's whole body flashed blue, and a feeling of reunion of old friends after a long absence surged in Mengsheng's heart, and Mengsheng seemed to feel that he was closely connected with the little green cat in his heart. Mengsheng, who has been lonely, thinks that it is not a good thing to have a little green cat as a companion in the future. I wonder if people are willing to follow me?

Mengsheng asked tentatively, "Are you willing to follow me?"

The little green cat nodded and cried happily, "Meow!"

"You're all blue, I'll call you Xiaoqing. Mengsheng said.

The little green cat snuggled tightly into Mengsheng's arms, and barked softly, as if to say, "Good! good!"

Mengsheng thought happily, in the future, Xiaoqing will accompany me to play pigweed and play with me, and I will never be lonely again.

"Xiaoqing, let's go home. Mengsheng was so happy that he picked up the sickle and called Xiaoqing to go out. When he saw the long snake lying on the ground, Mengsheng remembered that his father had hunted a much smaller snake than this before, and he had sold it for 3 taels of silver, and the family had eaten a full meal for a month. Then this snake can be sold for at least 5 taels of silver. But can I hold such a big snake? Mengsheng stared at the long snake in a daze.

"Why are all the reeds down here?"

Mengsheng looked out, it was Uncle Li and his uncle in the east of the village.

"Uncle Li is good! Brother Huzi is good!" Mengsheng greeted cordially.

"It's a dream. Ah, did you kill this snake?" exclaimed Uncle Li.

"Hehe, Uncle Li, it crashed into my sickle and committed suicide by disembowelment. Mengsheng said happily.

"Little thing," said Uncle Li, "the frontal bone is high, otherwise your life will not be saved." ”

"Uncle Li, I can't take this snake, you can take it. Mengsheng pulled Uncle Li's sleeve and said.

"How's that going to happen? This will sell for at least five taels of silver. You hit it, Uncle Li will help you take it home. ”

"That's it, Uncle Li, you take it and sell it, half of everyone, you just give the money to my little mother. ”

"This kid is so sensible. Okay, I'll sell it. Uncle Li carried the long snake, and Huzi walked out with the snake's tail.

Mengsheng put Xiaoqing in the straw basket, and walked out of the reeds with a relaxed humming of the "Book of Poetry: Tao Yao" taught by the old gentleman of the private school. didn't go far, Xiaoqing suddenly jumped out of the basket, biting Mengsheng's pants and not letting him go. Mengsheng wondered, will Xiaoqing take me somewhere to eat well?

So he followed Xiaoqing all the way, and after a while, he came to a one-man tall artemisia grass. I saw a five-colored stone in the middle of the grass, and a plant more than a foot tall grew on the stone, and five five-colored cherry-like fruits grew on the plant, and a faint fragrance came to my nose.

"Xiaoqing brought me here to really have delicious food!" Mengsheng thought happily. At noon, he only drank half a bowl of thin porridge soup, and his stomach was already so hungry that he screamed, seeing this tempting fruit, smelling this clear fragrance, Mengsheng jumped on the stone, and the five fruits had all been eaten before they tasted anything, and they only felt that there were five hot currents in the stomach in the whole body and disappeared, and then five fragrant farts were released. Yes, it's fragrant fart, and there's a little bit of the smell of that fruit.

Mengsheng wiped his mouth, "It's so fragrant", I don't know if it's the fragrance of fruit or the fragrance of his fart.

"If only I could bring this little tree home. "The little ones are starting to be greedy, too.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the little tree and the five-colored stone were gone, and Mengsheng was just like a second monk, confused, and even Xiaoqing blinked his eyes anthropomorphically and looked at Mengsheng.

"What do you think I'm doing, even I don't know what's going on?" Mengsheng said to Xiaoqing, "I ate it anyway." Come home!"

When he got home, Mengsheng wanted to hide Xiaoqing secretly in the firewood room where he slept, but he was still seen by his half-brother, and he had to let Mengsheng play with him. Mengsheng had no choice but to give Xiaoqing to him, but Xiaoqing didn't do it, biting and screaming at him, scared him to cry "wow", Mengsheng was naturally abused by Cai's again, and chased and beat him with a broom.

Mengsheng fled with Xiaoqing in his arms, but he didn't expect to bump into Uncle Li's arms.

Uncle Li had already sold the long snake and got 6 taels of silver, and when he saw that Cai's was chasing Mengsheng again, he canceled his plan to give Cai's silver taels and pulled Mengsheng out. When he came to no man's land, Uncle Li took out 3 taels of silver and handed it to Mengsheng, "Child, you can take this silver tael, and if you are hungry, you can buy some food for yourself." As you grow up, you have to grow up. ”

Mengsheng hugged Uncle Li excitedly and said, "Uncle, I want to leave here, you can help me figure out a way." ”

"Alas!" Uncle Li thought angrily, "Especially if you are scolded, beaten and starved all the time, you might as well go outside and try it." ”

"Mengsheng, in ten days it will be May 15th, which is the day when the Huiling Gate of Yufeng Mountain opens the mountain gate to accept disciples, if you have the qualifications, you can practice there. I also want to send Huzi to try, so you can go with you. ”

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Li. Mengsheng said happily.

"If I stay up for another ten days, I must enter the Huiling Gate to practice. Mengsheng slept on the bed and thought secretly. Although he didn't even eat the Dragon Boat Festival dumplings today, the five fruits made him not feel hungry. In a daze, Mengsheng came to his dream again. But today's dream is different from the past, the original only square foot of the square circle of the place has now become a square circle, more strange is that there is a five-colored stone in the center, there is a small sapling of more than a foot growing on the stone, and the top begins to bear fruit again, but it is not yet ripe, and the color is green. Did the stone and the little tree come to my dream? In the next few days, Mengsheng found that the five fruits were slowly ripening, and by the eighth day, they were fully ripe, and they were still five five-colored cherry-like fruits, with a faint fragrance. Mengsheng took one and put it in his mouth to taste it carefully, but it melted in his mouth, and he only felt that his whole body was hot and gone. It didn't matter, anyway, eating it would fill his stomach, and he put the rest into his mouth in a row. It's just that this time I didn't even fart incense, but I was sweating profusely, and the heat was unbearable. Dream Sheng woke up from the dream, found that the whole body was damp, touched with his hand, a layer of greasy and smelly body, I thought that the things in the dream were fake, it seems to be real, did I really eat five more fruits. Mengsheng got up and went to the well to clean the dark greasy all over his body, returned to the firewood room, and saw that Xiaoqing was still sleeping with his head in his paws, since this dead cat was brought back, how did he know how to sleep, recalling the situation in the dream, it was really strange every year, especially this year. It seems that only after going to Huilingmen to practice will find a way to find out.
