Hearing this voice, the child subconsciously stopped sobbing, looked at each other with big watery eyes pitifully, then let out a howl, turned around and crawled two steps towards the little friend. Although these children are young, their vigilance is very high.
In today's world, there are many people who take the initiative to sell their daughters and daughters, and many who rack their brains to kidnap other people's children and sell them.
There are only a few tenants in the entire farm, and they are all familiar with each other. At first glance, he saw a strange strong man, or a black-faced man with such an ugly appearance, wouldn't he be startled? Several children screamed and ran away, attracting the attention of the adults who were doing farm work nearby.
Nowadays, there are too many black-hearted people who kidnap and sell children. Women often get together to talk about some short stories about parents. Most of the content is inseparable from such trivial matters as firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, and more gossip. He took it away, or someone's child was sneaked away and sold by a thousand knives because the adults were not paying attention, so that the family was separated.
In order to prevent such tragedies from happening in their own homes, adults often tell their children stories about people kidnapping and selling children, or stories about wild wolves taking and eating children, so as to improve children's vigilance against strangers, and also Let them not dare to run around casually.
Hearing the screams of several children, two men working in the fields rushed over with hoes.
"Go away! What are you trying to do! Stay away from the child, or a hoe will kill you!"
One of the tenants threatened with a hoe in his hand, and the other took care of the frightened child. The two stared at the black-faced strong man as if staring at a human tooth, "I can tell you, this is a noble farm, if you don't want to die. Get away!"
The clothes on the black-faced strong man were a little worn out, and there were cracks in some places, revealing the bronze skin under the cloth. He didn't look like a good person, and a few children were scared to cry. The two tenants watched The black-faced strong man was naturally more defensive.
The black-faced strong man's cheeks were red, and he was a little embarrassed. He waved his hands slightly, indicating that the two tenants didn't have to be so defensive about him, but his face was too dark, and he didn't know what cinder was on it. Couldn't tell if there was any blush.
"No, no... I'm not a bad person... The two big brothers don't have to be like this, I'm a passerby... No... Don't be like this... "
He got a little closer, and the two tenants not only did not dispel their suspicions, but became more vigilant.
Not to mention anything else, the black-faced strong man in front of him was very burly and sturdy, his head was a whole head taller than them, and his back was bearish.
One of the tenants gave the other a wink and said, "Since you are passing by, hurry up and leave."
The black-faced strong man rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassedly, "This, this... Can I borrow some water to drink... I've been on the road for a few days, my straw shoes are worn out, and I haven't eaten much... I... No I know if the two big brothers can do it well..."
Having said that, the two tenants noticed that the black-faced strong man's straw sandals were worn out, and a few dark toes were exposed, and when they noticed their gaze, they moved a little uneasily. There were also some frayed blisters mixed with blood.
Seeing the pitiful appearance of the black-faced strong man, and indeed without any malice, the two tenants softened their hearts, it is not easy for anyone these days.
When the alarm was lifted, one of the tenants breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't a kidnapper or a bandit in the mountains nearby, everything would be fine. The atmosphere of the farm is relatively simple, and it also takes care of the travelers who come and go. It is normal to borrow some water.
"Seeing that your feet are worn out, if you don't mind wearing mine first."
Saying that, a tenant took off the clean straw sandals hanging from his shoulders and gave them to the black-faced strong man, motioning him to put them on.
Because the straw sandals are very expensive to dry in the ground, the tenants are accustomed to prepare an extra pair when they do farm work.
"This, what's so embarrassing..." The black-faced strong man shyly looked very embarrassed, but after the other party's repeated enthusiastic requests, he finally carefully put on the pair of clean, obviously new straw sandals, "Thank you for this little brother. son."
The black-faced strong man had huge feet, and when he stepped on the pair of straw sandals, the entire upper was covered, and some feet were exposed.
"Hey, what's this?" The tenant smiled kindly, put down his hoe, and rubbed the little boy who was carefully pulling up his trouser legs with his other hand, and said, "Don't mind, now there are stealers outside. There are too many children, and some time ago I heard that the neighboring Zhuangzi lost three children, and the children’s mother cried blindly, so we are very concerned about the children here.”
The black-faced brawny man didn't care, but smiled and said, "It's very, very, very, very chaotic now, children should be optimistic, they are all good, and they know how to cry and yell at adults. My old village, child When someone touches them, they are silent."
When it comes to this topic, the tenant has a little more affection for the black-faced strong man.
"It's almost time for dinner, why don't you come to my house to eat, this little boy scared you just now."
The tenant angrily gave the little boy who was clinging to his trouser legs, neither light nor heavy, with a very doting expression on his face.
Obviously, the child who was crying and bumping into the black-faced strong man belonged to the tenant's house.
The tenant carried the hoe on one side, and picked up the leather child with the other hand, and took the remaining children back to Zhuangzi like a sheep.
The black-faced strong man followed the tenant unhurriedly and sighed, "I rarely see such a skinny child now..."
"Isn't it? Even adults can't get enough to eat these days, where does the money come from to raise a child?" The tenant sighed, turning to sweep away the sadness on his face, and said quite proudly, "I'm also lucky, I met a Good Lord, this day can go on."
The black-faced strong man did not continue to ask, and followed the tenant to his house, and the other party shouted at the door.
"My son, is the pancake ready, come two pieces, and then boil some hot water."
"Knowing that you are back, what to shout, call your soul."
A woman dressed in sackcloth, but her clothes had been starched, came out of the house with two steaming pancakes in her hands.
The tenant greeted, "Pour some hot water for this big brother and drink it while it's hot to warm up."
The black-faced strong man was just about to say that he could just drink some cold water, but the woman had already entered the house with agile steps, shouting as she walked, "You are precious, the water must be boiled, and the firewood at home must be boiled. No money."
"Didn't the host's mother say that drinking raw water can easily damage your body, so if you don't let you boil water, you'll be stubborn with me..."
Although these two are bickering, but a discerning eye can see that their relationship is quite good.
