Chapter 285 Playing Games
In the mountains, a cool breeze blows, the leaves on the ground rustle, and the winding streams gurgle. The fragrance of flowers and grass is light and refreshing. Birds chirped, calves mooed softly, and a medley of cows and birds filled the mountains.
Yike was holding a small stick and driving his own calf. Chen Fugui was sitting on the calf's back proudly. Xu Chaoqun was nervously grabbing Chen Fugui's clothes and sitting next to Chen Fugui on the calf's back, with his expression full of fear and excitement.
Li Xiaoying's leg injury has healed. Except for heavy work, she can do some light work now. When she saw Yi Ke was going to herd cattle, she also led out her own calf and followed Yi Ke to the mountains.
Hu Lili and Hu Fangfang were originally going to work in Dongtianfudi with their mother, but when they heard Chen Fugui say that Sister Yi Ke was going to herd cattle, they changed their minds and brought their own cattle to join in the fun.
Hu Fangfang also volunteered to help Yi Ke lead a cow. The little girl said sweetly: "Sister Yike, my hands are empty, can you give me a rope to hold?"
But she had to herd two calves. She coiled one rope around the horns and held the other in her hand, so she didn't need any help from anyone. But the little girl spoke so nicely. She didn’t offer to help, but instead said it was because she had nothing. What a considerate girl!
Yike untied the rope from the ox's horn, handed it to her and said, "Fangfang is such a good girl, thank you!"
"Sister Yike, you don't have to thank me. My mother said that we are living such a good life now, it is all thanks to you, so we should be grateful. Qianniu is not grateful enough. I will thank you when I grow up."
Hu Fangfang's childish words can move even those who are not easily moved. The quality of a child really has a lot to do with the education of his parents.
Several teenage girls and boys were sitting horizontally on the backs of cows, with Chen Fugui's cow leading the way and the other cows slowly following behind.
One can happily recite: "In the morning, I herd cattle, and go down to the river. At night, I herd cattle, and go through the village valley. Wearing straw raincoats, I come out of the forest to enjoy the spring rain. I lie down with a reed pipe blowing on the green sedge. I have arrows stuck all over my waist, but I am not afraid of tigers bullying my yellow calves."
"Sister Yike, it sounds great. Can you teach us to sing? We want to sing too." Hu Lili shouted from the front. "This is not a song. If you want to learn to sing, I will teach you a cowherd song. Come, I will sing a line and you follow me." Yi Ke opened his throat and sang:
The sun is coming out
Catching the cows up the hill
Cows go to eat grass
Let's go fishing in the river
The sun is coming out
Catching the cows up the hill
Cows go to eat grass
Let's catch birds
The sun is coming out
Catching the cows up the hill
Cows go to eat grass
Let's all fight.
The sun is coming out
Catching the cows up the hill
Cows go to eat grass
We are all happy
Several little girls followed and sang along.
Chen Fugui was reluctant to sing at first, thinking that singing was something only girls did. After a while, I was attracted by the singing and couldn't help singing along.
Nature also felt the joyful atmosphere. The wild grass beside the stream swayed in response to the singing, beautiful butterflies danced in the singing, and the stream joyfully flowed into the distance along with the singing...
Chen Fugui rode a cow and took everyone to a lawn, and everyone got off the cow's back.
As soon as Xu Chaoqun stepped on the ground, he became bolder and started to touch the cow. He didn't know what was so special about a cow.
The rope was tied around the calf's horns. Chen Fugui patted the calf's butt and the calf walked towards the lawn with a clatter.
Niu'er was free to look for his favorite little sister, Xiaocao, and Yike played the game of catching wolf with Li Xiaoying, Hu Lili and several other children.
Everyone uses the game of scissors, rock, and paper to decide the winner. The loser becomes the wolf and the winner becomes the hunter. There was only one hunter, and Chen Fugui was the final winner. He became the hunter and laughed triumphantly toward the sky. A clear and loud laugh sounded, and the calf not far away responded with a "moo".
Chen Fugui waved his hand and said proudly: "Hu Lili, Hu Fangfang, you better be careful, I will catch you first." After Chen Fugui finished speaking proudly, he said to Yike in a flattering way: "Sister Yike, I will catch you last."
"Okay, thank you." I answered with a smile.
"No, no way, you are biased." Hu Lili was not convinced.
"Humph, I like it. I'm a hunter after all." Chen Fugui raised his head and stretched out his little hand. "Let's start. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. Here I go."
Hu Lili didn't dare to yell anymore and turned around and ran away. Li Xiaoying had already gone to find a place to hide when Chen Fugui was laughing.
Yike picked up Xu Chaoqun and quickly ran to a place with several big trees. He climbed up a tree and hid Xu Chaoqun on the top of the tree with dense branches and leaves. He tied him up with a belt and told him not to make any sound.
Then Yike sat on a higher branch not far away, his short legs swinging in the air.
Hu Lili was chased by Chen Fugui all over the woods. Hu Fangfang was disturbing them from time to time. The two sisters fled to Yike tree. They looked and saw Yike sitting leisurely on the tree.
The silly girl Hu Lili, in a panic, climbed up her tree, and Chen Fugui followed closely behind her.
Hu Fangfang yelled under the tree: "Sister, hurry up, hurry up."
I'm really worried about these naughty kids. They're on a tree. How fast can they go? They might fall down if they're not careful.
"Lili, left, go to the left and go to another tree. Hu Fangfang, hide quickly." Yike shouted loudly.
Hu Fangfang stopped shouting under the tree and ran away quickly.
Hu Lili on the tree followed Yi Ke's command and climbed up the branches to move to the left.
The branches of another tree on the left extend to this tree. The branches of the two trees are so close that you come to visit my house and I visit your house, forming a natural bridge.
Hu Lili quickly crossed the bridge and reached another tree. She looked back at Chen Fugui. Chen Fugui had also reached the "bridge". He chased after her across the bridge.
Hu Lili immediately slid down the tree, and waited for Chen Fugui to cross the bridge. She then quickly ran to the tree again, and watched Chen Fugui slide down the tree. She quickly climbed up the tree again, and waited for Chen Fugui to run over and climb up the tree. She then went to another tree, and when Chen Fugui chased her, she climbed down the tree again and climbed to this tree.
The two of them started a game of chase and escape, blocking and retreating around the two trees. In the end, both of them were exhausted and out of breath, and neither could do anything to the other.
Chen Fugui had to give up trying to catch Hu Lili, the cunning wolf, and turned to look for the wolves that were hiding.
Li Xiaoying and Hu Fangfen were found and captured by Chen Fugui within a few minutes.
Li Xiaoying was caught because she couldn't run fast, and Hu Fangfang was young and definitely couldn't escape Chen Fugui's clutches.
"Xu Chaoqun, Xu Chaoqun, Brother Chaoqun." Chen Fugui searched for Xu Chaoqun for a long time but couldn't find him, so he shouted loudly.
"Brother Fugui, I'm here." Xu Chaoqun replied from the tree.
Yi Ke stroked his forehead and said, "This unlucky and stupid child."
"Haha, Brother Chaoqun, I'm here." Chen Fugui quickly climbed up the tree and caught Xu Chaoqun who was tied to the tree.
