The Dead Dad is Back - Chapter 72
Roads are rugged, overgrown with grass and trees, and shade the sun. If someone rashly strayed into the deep mountains, they would definitely get lost in it.
Miaomiao didn’t dare to run around here by herself, and could only rely on the **** dog to find her way.
But the bearded person she encountered was obviously very knowledgeable about the terrain in the mountains. She sat on the shoulder of the bearded and watched the trees receding beside her. where to go.
The prey was dragging on the ground, and the **** dog was adorned in the distance. Miaomiao glanced back at it before turning around and asking, “Have you really seen rhubarb?”
“I don’t know if that dog is the one you’re looking for, but I’ll find out if I look at it.” The waist drilled through. “Be careful.”
Miao Miao Yiyan hugged her bearded head tightly, her palms tickled by his beard.
“Why are you catching rhubarb?”
“I don’t know the dog that our boss brought back.” The bearded man smiled honestly: “The dog is so big, it should be eaten.”
Miaomiao flattened her mouth and wanted to cry again.
The terrain in this mountain is steep, Miaomiao tried her best to memorize the road at first, but her little head also fainted. She didn’t know how long the whiskers had gone, but when the sun was about to set, and her little belly made a long gurgling sound for the first time, they finally stopped.
“Here it is, here it is.”
Miaomiao looked up, and in front of her was a gate with several people tall, with sentry booths on both sides, and a big man with muscular knots appeared and shouted at them: “Mao Er Where did you steal that child from?”
“I picked it up in the mountains.” Beard raised the prey in his hand: “I caught a big one today, hurry up and open the door!”
The high wooden door made a heavy noise, and the bearded man walked in with Miaomiao. Miaomiao opened her eyes wide and looked around curiously. In this big mountain, there are actually many houses, and the people living here are all big men with beards. When they passed by, their eyes fell on Miaomiao. It looked horrible.
People keep asking, “Where did this kid come from?”
Beards answered one by one: “I picked it up on the mountain.”
Miaomiao sat on his shoulders, clutching his beard nervously.
She didn’t say a word, watching Beard hand over the prey to a person before taking her back home.
He put Miaomiao down first, poured a bowl of water clumsily, and didn’t know where to find a packet of sugar. I don’t know how long the sugar cubes have been kept. After they melted, they stuck together with the oil paper and solidified again. After breaking the beard, they couldn’t break it out, so I had to push the bowl of water over.
Miaomiao dared not drink it, and asked cautiously, “Where’s Rhubarb?”
“Oh, yes, you are here to find the dog.” Bearded said: “You stay here first, and I will find out where the dog has gone for you.”
Miaomiao nodded and watched him go out, then she waved to the **** dog and hugged the dog quickly.
Then she dared to look around. There are several beds in the house, obviously more than a bearded person lives alone. The people who live here are not very particular, and the house is messy and stinky.
I saw Miaomiao Fang when I came in. There are many, many houses and many people living here. It is obviously on the mountain, but it is like a small village, and there is even cultivated land. Many crops are grown and many people are busy.
Miaomiao didn’t dare to walk around, she held the **** dog and waited.
But before Beard came back, it was lively outside, and a rough voice shouted: “Where’s Mao Er?! Mao Er brought back a child?! Who allowed him to bring outsiders? come in?!”
Miao Miao heard that they were talking about themselves. She stood up nervously and walked around the room. Before she could find a place to hide, people outside strode in.
The person who came in was also a big man. He was wearing a coat made of tiger skin, with a tiger’s back and a strong waist, and his muscles were bulging. There was a scar on his face, which slanted from the right eye to the left. Looks very vicious. He immediately found Miaomiao, grabbed her by the back collar and lifted her up as easily as catching a chicken.
“Is this the child?”
The big man behind him nodded: “Yes, this is it.”
“Where are the two Mao?”
“We don’t know where he went, boss, I’ll look for it.”
Miaomiao’s eyes lit up, and she was no longer afraid, and immediately asked, “Uncle, are you the boss here?”
The boss bowed his head: “What’s the matter?”
“Can you return my dog to me?” Miaomiao said: “My dog is called Da Huang, it is a big yellow dog, you took it away yesterday. It is mine Dog, can you give it back to me?”
The boss was stunned.
He lowered his head to meet the little girl’s eyes, round and wet, full of prayer. The little girl’s eyes are round, her face is round, and even her tears are round. The boss paused, and just wanted to speak, Miaomiao begged him pitifully: “Please.” He immediately blocked his words.
The boss wanted to be fierce again, but a big man next to him said: “Boss, forget it, she is just a child.”
“…”
The expression on the boss’s face changed several times, and his face became more fierce, but when he spoke again, his tone was strangely softer: “Are you looking for a dog?”
Miaomiao nodded quickly.
The big men said: “Boss, didn’t you bring back a dog yesterday?”
“Yes, yes, it’s a big yellow dog.”
“The dog was disobedient. It kept making a fuss and wanted to run, but it was tied with a rope.”
“Boss, how come the dog you brought back has an owner? Now everyone’s owner is coming!”
Boss: “…”
The boss raised his face and said, “Then Mao Er can’t just bring people back. Our cottage must have the rules of the cottage, even a child can’t break the rules. If we can come in, we have long been discovered.”
Miaomiao immediately said, “Boss, return the rhubarb to me, and I’ll go home.”
Not waiting for the boss to say anything, several big men around said: “What kind of skill is it to steal a child’s dog? Boss, give it back to her.”
Miaomiao raised her head and looked at him pleadingly.
Being watched by the little girl and persuaded by so many people next to her, the boss quickly relaxed: “Okay, I’ll return the dog to you.”
Miaomiao was dizzy. She thought it would take a lot of effort, but she didn’t expect it to be so easy, and she didn’t expect people here to speak for her. This experience is really too strange. But that didn’t stop her from being happy: “Boss, don’t worry, I’ll go home as soon as I find rhubarb, and I won’t cause you any trouble!”
“It’s so late outside and it’s dark, how can you go back alone?”
Miaomiao thought about it, she and her grandfather were separated, and the capital was far away, but Miaomiao was not worried: “Da Huang will recognize the way, I can ride Da Huang back.”
The big men looked at her with disapproval.
Soon, Miaomiao was taken out.
The big men took her and the **** dog to a place like a dining room, and soon, the big yellow dog was also led over.
When Rhubarb was brought over, he grinned at the big man with a fierce face and struggled fiercely, even the fierce big man was almost unable to catch the rope. But after seeing Miaomiao, it rushed over immediately, licked Miaomiao’s cheek excitedly, turned around Miaomiao, and wagged its tail behind him. Miaomiao touched it up and down worriedly, but she didn’t find any scars, only the belly was empty, and the dog tag on her neck was missing.
The rhubarb was safe and not eaten, Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief.
The big men quickly came over with two bowls of hot broth.
“This dog has not eaten since yesterday, and no one will feed it, and one of the ropes has been cut off by it.”
Miaomiao embarrassedly touched Rhubarb’s fur and said, “Rhubarb misses me.”
She originally thought that Rhubarb was captured by some bad guy, but now, although these people look fierce, they seem to be good people. Although I don’t know why they want to arrest rhubarb, Miaomiao is not afraid of them.
Miaomiao carefully picked up the broth and tasted it. She was hungry and everything was delicious.
One person and one dog finished drinking the broth under the watchful eyes of the big men, and the boss said, “Wait tomorrow morning, I’ll send someone to take you back to the capital.”
Miaomiao narrowed her eyes happily and thanked softly: “Thank you, you are such a good person.”
Boss: “…”
The big men around looked at each other with complicated expressions.
They had been on this mountain for so long, and it was the first time they heard someone say they were a good man.
Miaomiao had more things piled up in front of her. The big men brought dishes to her with enthusiasm, and even the two dogs had a pot of meat and bones.
The whiskers who went out to find the dog finally came back, and he followed behind a man.
“I heard that Mao Er brought back a child? To find a dog?”
The big men called him: “Second Master.”
Miaomiao also called out: “Second Master!”
The second master was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: “Such a small child, also come to be a mountain bandit?”
“Mountain bandits?” Miaomiao widened her eyes: “Are you mountain bandits?!”
The big men laughed loudly: “You have been here for so long, don’t you still know who we are?”
Miaomiao shook her head quickly.
The big men finished laughing, afraid of scaring people, and explained: “Don’t worry, the world is peaceful now, and we won’t do bad things.”
Miaomiao was puzzled: “Then why did you all want to be bandits before?”
The big men looked at each other, pushed each other, and no one could tell.
The second master was about to speak when his eyes suddenly shifted down and landed on Miaomiao’s clothes.
After a day, Miaomiao’s clothes were covered with soil and dirt, and she could hardly see the original appearance. But the face of the second master changed greatly: “Are you a student of Qingsong Academy?”
Miao Miao nodded obediently.
The boss noticed that there was something in his words, straightened his face, and asked, “What happened to that school?”
The second master looked ugly: “You don’t know. In the capital, only the children of high officials and nobles can attend this school. Where did this child come from?”
Everyone looked at Miaomiao, and all looked at the beard.
The bearded man murmured: “I found it in the mountains, isn’t it a school, is it okay?”
“Who said it’s okay!” The second master said excitedly: “They lost their child, how could they not find a way to find her? This child apparently escaped from the school, maybe the person who is looking for her is Already on the way! What if they find here?”
“There are so many of us that they will soon find out.”
Everyone fell silent for a while.
Miaomiao hugged the two big dogs tightly and did not dare to say a word.
However, the second master has already looked at her.
He said grimly, “This child can’t be kept.”
The sky was dark outside, and in the deep mountains and forests, a few wolf howls could be vaguely heard.
