Chapter 111
Tang Ji was stopped by Zhuang Dun. He looked down at the sad mutant creature crying and silently shut his mouth.
"Let's go. We can't go up this mountain anymore. We should take this thing back quickly."
Seeing that the mutant creature had been captured, Captain Dai and his team members checked the surroundings again. After finding nothing special, they turned around and prepared to take the mutant creature back down the mountain.
"You little ones should be careful when you play. We're already outside now. It's clearly not within the protection of the locust tree on the mountain, right?"
Before leaving, Captain Dai thought of something and turned around to remind the children to be careful.
"Uncle, don't worry. Xiao Hei is here. Those mutant animals outside the mountain won't attack us if they have any brains."
Hearing his uncles' worried words, Shitou did not mention his own abilities. After all, his abilities were not enough when the mutant creature's strength was growing rapidly. He simply took out the little black creature in his hand.
Facts speak louder than words.
Not to mention that Xiao Hei's own strength is enough to protect Shitou, the fact that Xiao Hei is the only cub of the mountain king in this mountain is enough for him to follow Xiao Hei like a crab and walk sideways in the mountain.
Even if they encountered those brainless mutant creatures, any mutant animals in the mountains who paid a little attention to these children would come forward to help fight.
In a short period of time, Shitou had already spent quite a bit of time wandering around the mountains with the other children around him, and had found quite a few good things.
Of course, the good things that Shitou mentioned are only in their own eyes, and they are not good things in the eyes of adults.
The adults should be thankful that I don’t bring back anything that would cause them trouble.
If it weren't for the godmother saying that these children all have special abilities and that they can go out and walk more while they are young and have people guarding the way in the mountains, the adults in the village would never let these children wander around and bring random things home.
"Since you already know what's going on, that's good. The uncles are busy going down the mountain now. Once we finish the task at hand, we'll come up the mountain and bring back the toys we promised you. Is that okay with you?"
Captain Dai looked down at Xiao Hei who was coiled around the wrist of the stone, then turned back to look at Guo Shanfeng who was also coiled motionless in the bushes. Knowing that these children had someone to rely on, he didn't say much.
The one who was crossing the mountain peak could see that these people were trying to trick children with their toys but chose to be magnanimous and not take them out. It was obvious that he had a good temper.
Of course, he also knew that this good temper was definitely not directed at them.
They are very self-aware.
Guo Shanfeng had just been focusing his attention on his own cub, but when he sensed the gazes of Captain Dai and the others, he turned around and met their gazes. Guo Shanfeng impatiently shook the tip of his tail, signaling Captain Dai and the others to take the ghost thing and leave.
In fact, the reason why I didn't leave after I gave the toy to my baby when I crossed the mountain was because I knew that the ghost thing had some abilities. I was afraid that my baby would lose the ghost thing while playing with it, and then cry to it after losing it, so I watched from the side.
Now that these humans have traded their own toys with the human cubs in front of them, and their own cubs have no objection, there is nothing wrong with crossing the mountain.
Anyway, from the beginning, it didn't expect its cub to be able to play with that damn thing for long.
It is neither edible nor easy to play with, it is simply useless.
"Thanks."
Inexplicably, they could tell what the beast wanted to express from the swinging of its tail, and Captain Dai and the others showed gratitude on their faces.
Nowadays, there are not many mutant animals that can still maintain such a gentle attitude towards humans.
Especially there are even fewer mutated animals like the mountain-peaked one, which was originally a wild animal before the mutation.
"Brother Shitou, now that they're gone, what are we going to do now?"
Shi Tou and the other kids just watched Captain Dai and the others leave. Only after they could no longer see anyone did they ask Shi Tou.
Shitou has become the center of the group of children in front of him and the next leader of Daxi Village.
The adults in the village obviously noticed something, but they didn't try to stop it and let it develop freely.
With Shitou accompanying them, these children don’t have to worry about getting lost in the mountains.
The most important point is that adults all think that Stone has good luck.
Whether it is Ali from the village chief's family, or Shitou's own abilities, and finally Xiao Hei who follows Shitou, and finally Guo Shanfeng who is quite indulgent to the children in the village because of Xiao Hei and takes care of them from time to time, there is some luck involved in all of this.
After all, from the very beginning, it was the stone that provoked them, but in the end, the stone was still taken care of by them after provoking them. How can this not be considered extremely lucky?
Because of Ying Huai's existence, adults are more or less superstitious and believe in luck.
It is better to follow the lucky stone with the children than for the children to be naughty on their own and get themselves hurt.
"You kids, where are you going to play again?"
Zuzu sat under the locust tree, watching the children from the village come back from outside the village in a calm mood, and asked them with a kind smile.
"Grandpa, let's go down the mountain to play."
Shitou walked forward, got close to Zuzu and cuddled up to her for a bit before answering the old lady.
"Since you're out having fun, why are you acting like this? You don't look very happy..."
Zuzu asked softly, pressing his cheek against Xiao Shitou's.
“There’s nothing fun to do on this mountain.”
As Shi Tou spoke, he was speechless.
"The mutant animals on this mountain run away when they see us. They only come out when we're fighting those brainless mutant plants and animals. They're usually invisible."
Shi Tou said this with a hint of grievance in his tone.
This cannot be blamed on the mutant animals on the mountain. Children like Shitou are just teenagers now. Although they are more sensible, they are still a little careless and do not pay attention to the environment when playing with the mutant animals.
They often took the mutant animals to places that people didn't like to play. Once they got there, they couldn't leave and had to play with the children. After a few times, the mutant animals in the mountains didn't like to get close to these children when they had nothing to do.
"You kids, since the ones in the mountains won't play with you, go find your brothers and sisters in the village."
After hearing what Shitou said, Zuzu pursed her lips and smiled slightly, then came up with a bad idea.
"The brothers and sisters in the village went down the mountain before, so there was no one to play with you. Now that they are back in the mountain, it's a good opportunity for you to play together. They play games that use your abilities, so they can exercise themselves and play with you."
Zuzu said, a smile evident on her face.
These children in the mountains, because the adults are not as capable as them, can only watch them mess around outside the village. Even if they make mistakes, at most they will be asked to copy the text, or beaten at worst. But there is really no way to control them and improve their abilities at the same time.
This time, Tang Rufeng and others who brought people down the mountain returned to the mountain. Seeing that their abilities had obviously improved, it would be a good idea to use them to take care of the children and help Shitou and others improve their abilities at the same time.
The third son of the Wu family and his wife haven't taken much care of the children recently.
The children are able to keep up with their homework, and the most important thing now is how to improve their abilities.
With the godmother's word, the village elders will not stop the children from going out to play.
After playing for so long, their strength hasn't improved much. Instead, they almost drive themselves crazy by going out to play every day.
"Then can we go now?"
After listening to Zuzu's words, Shitou suddenly raised his little head and looked at Zuzu with expectation in his eyes.
"Well, you guys go now, they are free now."
Zuzu agreed with a smile, and seeing the children's expectant looks, her smile broadened.
"If they don't agree, just say it was your godmother who asked you to do it."
Zuzu finally said a bad idea, and then waved to the children who were excited to set off, indicating that they could set off.
"Is this the grandpa's own idea, or the idea of the village elders..."
Leaving the village entrance and walking into the village, the children in front were running very fast. Gangduan, who was running behind, turned his head to look at Momo and asked in a low voice.
"Since Grandpa can tell you, the adults in the village should all know about it."
Momo shook his head, looked at the excited and expectant children in front of him, and added silently.
"It's hard for the village elders to come up with the idea of asking the idle brothers and sisters who have returned from the village to take care of the children."
Although Momo still plays behind Shitou and the others every day and is not the oldest among these children, he considers himself to be more mature and sensible than Gangduan.
Most of the time, he would not make himself too messy when playing, especially when he had Xiao Ling'er, his sister who liked cleanliness, by his side, so he would not get himself too dirty.
"Perhaps the elders have their own ideas?"
Gangduan thought for a long time, and thought about how the elders in the village were extremely busy recently and didn't even have time to check if their children made any mistakes. He inexplicably felt that something big must have happened recently, but he didn't say his guess out loud, and just followed Momo's words.
"That should be it..."
"We're here! Brother Rufeng, Sister Tangtang! We're here to play with you!"
Before Momo and Gangduan could come up with anything to discuss, Shitou, who was walking in front, had already reached the village office. He saw Tangtang sitting at the door and yelled.
"ha?"
Tang Tang was still in a daze when he was startled by the howl. He tilted his head to look in the direction where Shitou and the others came from, with a confused look on his face. He pointed at his face in confusion.
"Me? You want to play with me? What to play?"
Tang Tang was a little confused. Both adults and children in the village basically knew what her situation was. As long as they didn't want to be unlucky, they wouldn't want to play with her, right?
"Yeah, yeah, Zuzu said that if you play with Sister Tangtang and you guys, you can improve your abilities!"
Shitou was very honest and told Zuzu directly.
"What did Zuzu say?"
Tang Tang was confused. How could Grandpa make such a suggestion?
"You two should explain it clearly first, we still have to train later."
Before Tang Tang could figure it out, Hu Zi and others who heard the noise had already gathered around Shi Tou and the others.
After hearing what Shi Tou said, they realized that there must be a reason. Instead of thinking about it for a long time, they might as well ask directly.
