Chapter 69(1/2)
Piyou's imagination was always online, and he actually imagined the little mushroom as a child bride. I couldn't help but laugh.
When I didn't say anything, Piyou curled his lips and said, "Don't you have the custom of child brides in China? Don't think I don't know."
I smiled and said, "Stop guessing, we are sworn brothers and sisters. Didn't you hear her just call my father godfather?"
Piyou looked at me sideways, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Absolutely true."
Piyou seemed relieved.
It was obvious that his father really liked his daughter Xiao Mushroom. Xiao Mushroom looked at the busy construction site and said, "Daddy, are you going to build a house here?"
"Well, Piyou wants to live here, so I'm going to build her a small house. You don't have to live here, I'll take you home to live."
But Xiao Mushroom shook his head, "Godfather, I like it here too, can I live here?"
My father said kindly: "Of course, it's just about the materials for this house. I've only prepared one room. If you want to live in it, you have to wait a few days."
Little Mushroom pointed at my house and said, "Isn't there one there?"
"Oh, that belongs to your Brother Chongzi." said his father.
"It's okay, I can live in the same room with Brother Chongzi." Xiao Mushroom said. She is an indigenous person, and her father passed away early. How could she know that she has so many ethics and morals.
My father grew up in China and was influenced by the teachings of Confucius and Mencius since he was a child. Who would have thought that a little mushroom could say such a thing? He frowned and looked at me.
I trembled in fright, "Little mushroom, don't talk nonsense, how can we live together?"
Little Mushroom said: "But didn't we live in a cave?"
"I was helpless at that time, but it's different now. We can't live in the same room." I could already feel Piyou staring at me gloomily, like a little female cat trying to catch mice, and he hurriedly explained to Xiao Mushroom.
He said, and at the same time he clarified it to Piyou, and then said to his father: "Dad, Xiao Mushroom is an Australian Aboriginal. She doesn't understand some ethics and morals. I have never forgotten your teachings for a moment."
The father's expression softened a lot, "It's best if you don't forget, otherwise, I will skin you."
I was so scared that I shivered. If my father knew that I had kissed Piyou, would he really take off my skin?
Little Mushroom said here: "Godfather, Brother Chongzi, I still like this room."
The father looked at Xiao Mushroom with an unprecedented kindness on his face: "Okay, okay, you can live in this room."
I have never seen my father so happy. He said anxiously: "But I have no place to live."
The father's face was gloomy: "You come home with me."
Unexpectedly, as soon as the words were spoken, Piyou and Xiao Mushroom said at the same time: "Not good!"
The father was stunned, and Pi You muttered: "Uncle, bugs don't live here, I'm a little scared."
"Me too," Xiao Mushroom followed.
The father smiled helplessly and said, "It seems that we really need to build another small house."
But Piyou said: "No need, uncle, I can live in the same room as Xiao Mushroom."
Father said to Piyou: "Are you so crowded that you don't realize it? You are a rich lady and the president of our Jiuzhou Mining. Chongzi and I will listen to you from now on."
Piyou glared at me bitterly: "It's okay, as long as the little mushroom has no objection, I have no objection, and I have to prevent cats from eating fish."
The father laughed loudly at Piyou's words, "Okay then, I will build the small house for you two bigger so that it can accommodate two beds. As for the design, you and Xiao Mushroom can discuss it.
How about that?" He said and looked at Xiao Mushroom, who nodded.
Piyou took Xiao Mushroom together at the construction site, discussing how to plan their small house. They chatted endlessly. The craftsmen were also willing to cooperate with them and build according to their requirements. Girls always said no when they were together.
After that, I finally believed it.
Little Mushroom finally has a playmate, and she is always made happy by Piyu. I have never seen her so happy since I met her, and I feel a lot more at ease.
We were busy until the evening, and my father took us back home. Annie was very fond of Xiao Mushroom when she saw her. She measured Xiao Mushroom's figure, took out her treasured girlhood dress, and gave it to Xiao Mushroom.
Mushrooms, little mushrooms look radiant after wearing them, and they no longer look like that wild girl running wildly all over the mountains.
After the meal, Annie made sure to leave the mushrooms at home, so I had to return to the vegetable garden with Piyou. It seemed that we would be camping on the top of the mountain again tonight.
Piyou seemed to like the night on the top of the mountain very much. She sat on the swing mountain in the small courtyard, looking at the bright moon in the sky, in a daze.
"Chongzhi, I heard that in Chinese mythology, there is a palace on the moon?"
"Yes, it's called Guanghan Palace. There lives a beautiful fairy, people call her Chang'e. She took a magical medicine and soared to the moon. There is also a laurel tree. The Chinese believe that the shadows in the moon are mottled.
It is the shadow of the osmanthus tree, and there is a man named Wu Gang who wields an ax to chop down the osmanthus tree every day."
Pi You was surprised and said: "It is such a pity that such a good Osmanthus Village was cut down by Wu Gang."
I smiled and said, "No, then Wu Gang made a mistake while learning Taoism. The Emperor of Heaven punished him to the Moon Palace and ordered him to cut down the osmanthus tree every day. He said when he cut down the osmanthus tree, when would he be able to do it?
He became an immortal. So Wu Gang cut down trees every day, but he didn't know that the osmanthus tree was five hundred feet high and was a sacred osmanthus tree. Wu Gang could only cut down a little bit every day. When he got up the next day, he found that the ax wound on the osmanthus tree had healed on its own.
In this way, no matter how Wu Gang chopped it down, he could not chop down the osmanthus tree, so naturally he never became a god."
At this time, Piyou turned into a quiet little girl and listened quietly to me telling a story that every Chinese person is familiar with. After listening to my story, Piyou said: "If I were Wu Gang, I would not be a god.
To dream about it, just keep guarding the sweet-scented osmanthus tree and Fairy Chang'e every day, and you can also use the sweet-scented osmanthus tree to make some things, such as weaving baskets with the branches of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, decorating the small house with sweet-scented osmanthus flowers, etc."
I smiled and said, "Your idea is very interesting. I heard from my father that Wu Gang really did what you did, but instead of weaving baskets or picking osmanthus, he used osmanthus to make wine. If any guests came, he would
We brought out sweet-scented osmanthus wine to entertain the guests. Unfortunately, there were only two people in the Moon Palace, Chang'e and Wu Gang, and no one went there anymore."
Piyou couldn't help but be fascinated, "It's enough if we have Chang'e. Wu Gang can drink osmanthus wine with Chang'e under the osmanthus tree. Bugs, let's plant an osmanthus tree in our yard. We can stay in this vegetable garden all our lives."
, guarding the sweet-scented osmanthus tree every day and growing vegetables every day, I think this kind of life is very good."
I suddenly remembered Xiao Mushroom's wish. She also expected to go to Luming Valley and stay there for the rest of her life. She would not go anywhere, just stay there, catching fish and flowers every day. From this point of view, Xiao Mushroom and Piyou were quite similar.
Very similar.
I smiled and said, "Piyu, I heard that you are a princess and you like fun. How can you stay in this small house all your life?"
Piyou shook his head, "You don't know my past. I didn't want to be a princess, so I ran away. I like liveliness, but I prefer quiet. If it gets too lively here, I might run away again.
"
I asked Piyou: "At the banquet yesterday, I saw that you and Hamid had a good chat. It didn't look like they had ever fought before?"
Piyou glanced at me and said, "Hamid has his own difficulties. Our quarrel in the Governor's Palace that day was actually planned. Hamid wants me to go back, but definitely not now. If he can successfully become the King of the Ottomans, he will
They even don’t want me to go back.”
I was confused when I heard that things could actually turn around like this.
Piyou seemed to have lost interest in the conversation, stood up and walked into the cabin.
I was also prepared to spend another night in the haystack.
Here Piyou came out, "Chongzhang, will you get sick if you sleep outside? Or..." She bit her lip, "How about you sleep in the cabin with me."
I smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I have been hunting in the wilderness for many years and am used to sleeping in the wild."
Piyou was still a little worried, so she reached out and pulled me up, "Let's go and sleep in the cabin with me."
I thought about it and realized that this was okay. At least it was better than using the quilt as a bed in the yard. The dew in the middle of the night was so heavy that I couldn't bear it.
So Piyou and I walked into the cabin together.
My cabin is not big, only nine square meters in size.
The cabin is on an elevated position and does not have a bed. I usually just lay a layer of straw mat, and then put a mattress and sheets on the straw mat. It is very comfortable. This takes up about three square meters. It can usually be used by one person.
Comfortable, the place to sleep for two people suddenly seems a bit small.
I moved my usual bows and arrows, swords and guns, boxes, and small tables, and found a straw mat to spread on the ground. I spread the mattress directly on it, and then lay down there with my clothes on.
Piyou got into bed after entering the cabin and watched quietly tidying up the room. When I lay down and looked at her again, she was already asleep.
I turned off the light and fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up in the morning, I found that Piyou had squeezed into my arms for some reason, and one of his legs was still on my body. It was funny in my heart, this Piyu was not honest when sleeping.
Piyou's expression in her sleep was no longer as arrogant as usual, and she slept quietly in my arms. She already had a bright face, and she looked even more beautiful in this early morning.
I once carried Piyou back to her villa and put her on the bed. I couldn't help but kiss her when I saw her sleeping. Now that I had her delicate body in my arms, I couldn't help but want to stop.
Finally, I forced myself to get rid of those charming thoughts from my head. I gently moved her legs down, then slowly got up, covered her with the quilt again, and then walked out of the cabin.
My father was standing in the courtyard. He had rushed over early. When he saw me walking out of the cabin, he frowned. This old feudal man was going to lose his temper again.
"Dad, you are here."
"Well," my father responded solemnly, "Since we sleep together, we must be responsible."
"Dad, you are going too far again. There was heavy dew at night, and Piyou asked me to make a bed on the floor of the cabin." I explained.
My father didn't want to hear my explanation anymore, "The little house can be built today and tomorrow. I'll let the craftsmen rush the work. Annie will come over soon. You call Piyu. We have some things to discuss."
The sound of my father talking to me woke Piyou up. She said in the room: "Uncle, you are here! Will Annie be here soon?"
After a while, Piyou ran out, and after waking up, Piyou turned into that innocent little girl again.
Father said, "Let's go down the mountain. Annie is probably at the bottom of the mountain."
Sure enough, when we went down the mountain, Annie and Xiao Mushroom had already arrived at the bottom of the mountain. We found a few rocks to sit down, and my father said, "Annie, tell the story!"
