The tiger is truly the king of the forest.
Carrying Ye Yutong on his back, he ran as fast as lightning. It's as fast as a modern sedan.
They reached their valley in a few days.
Ye Yutong took his second brother out of the space and took another large bag of wheat seeds.
Ye Mingzhe stood at the gate of the valley and shouted excitedly, "Mom, eldest brother, Uncle Yongchang, Uncle Wencai, we are back!"
There was silence in the valley for a moment, and cheers immediately began again.
The door of the valley was opened, Ye Mingxuan ran at the front, and what caught his eyes was a big tiger.
But before he could react, Ye Mingzhe jumped on him and shouted excitedly: "Brother, I miss you so much. Do you miss your brother?"
Ye Mingxuan pulled his younger brother off his body and saw his sister putting her hand on the tiger's neck with a smile. His mouth was half open in surprise.
Only then did I realize that there seemed to be one person missing.
He hurriedly asked: "Mingzhe, Tongtong, where is Ping An? Why didn't you see him?"
"Brother, Ping An is walking behind with a few people and a few cars of things. My second brother and I came back on a tiger."
Seeing them all staring at Brother Tiger, Ye Yutong said, "Uncle Yongchang, Uncle Wencai, please carry this bag of grain in first. I have something to tell you."
The two nodded and asked with concern: "Okay, Tongtong, Mingzhe, is the journey going well?"
"Uncle, everything is fine, and the journey went smoothly."
"That's good, that's good."
When Yongchang and Wencai were preparing to carry the grain, Mantang picked up the big sack and walked towards the valley.
He didn't ask for help, and he could easily carry more than a hundred kilograms of wheat.
Ye Yutong smiled and said: "Mantang's strength is getting stronger and stronger!"
Yongchang smiled and shook his head, "No, this kid may have done it. He seems to have endless energy. He gets up and digs the ground before dawn every day. He also said that he will plant ten acres of land next year."
A few of them were still joking at the entrance.
Li Wenxiu ran out of the valley and saw the two children standing there intact. Her eyes instantly turned red and she hugged them tightly in her arms.
"Why were you out for so long? My family is almost worried to death."
Ye Yutong patted her shoulder comfortingly and said with a smile: "Mom, aren't we back?"
Li Wenxiu wiped her tears and realized something was wrong. Three children went out, why did only two come back?
She asked anxiously: "Where is peace?"
Ye Mingzhe took her hand and said, "Mom, Ping'an is at the back. He pulled several carts of things and brought some people back."
"Then why didn't you leave together?" Li Wenxiu asked doubtfully.
According to the personalities of my daughter and son, they would never leave Ping An alone and run back first.
Ye Mingzhe explained: “We have obtained a high-yielding wheat seed at the foot of the mountain, and now we need to plant it in the ground quickly. If it is too late, it will affect next year’s harvest.
So Ping An asked my sister and I to bring wheat seeds, and Brother Tiger came back first. He took people and several carts of goods and walked slowly. "
Li Wenxiu heard about the high-yielding wheat seeds and took a look at her daughter.
Ye Yutong blinked at her.
She knew that several children had discussed it at the foot of the mountain.
When she took her daughter's hand and was about to enter the valley, she discovered a big tiger standing next to her.
"My mother." She was so frightened that her legs were weak, and she quickly protected her daughter behind her.
Then he called to the boys surrounding Tiger, "You guys go in quickly, Yongchang, Wencai, Mingxuan, hurry up and copy this guy."
Ye Yutong hurriedly stopped her, "Mom, mother, this tiger is our good friend, it was the one who carried my second brother and me back."
Li Wenxiu was shocked, "What? A tiger carried you back? Why are you two so brave? How dare you ride a tiger? Are you not afraid that it will eat you?"
Ye Yutong held his hand and walked towards the valley, smiling and saying: "Mom, Brother Tiger agreed to it himself. We got to know him when we went down the mountain. If it hadn't been for his help, why wouldn't we have come back so quickly? "
"Oh, that's it." Li Wenxiu helped her daughter smooth her messy hair.
"So did you go down the mountain smoothly this time? What's the situation at the bottom of the mountain?"
"We walked directly forward. We walked for about more than a month. There was a very small Qingshan Town. It was not affected by the disaster. It was just that outside things couldn't get in, and even if we wanted to buy some salt, we couldn't.
So we went to Qingzhou City and Dongyang County, where we purchased a lot of salt and daily necessities, enough for us to eat for several years. "
Wen Cai suddenly realized, "It turns out that the other side of Lingnan Mountain is next to Qingzhou City!"
Ye Yutong explained to him, "Uncle Wencai, we don't count them next to each other. Lingnan Mountain is still half a month away from Qingzhou City. Because we all rode tigers at night, we walked faster."
"Oh, I see."
Yongchang asked: "Tongtong, are there many victims in Qingzhou City and Dongyang County? Are there droughts in those two towns?"
Ye Yutong sighed, "Qingzhou City is better. Dongyang County is more severely affected, and there are a large number of victims at the gate of the city. I heard that there is a drought in many places this year, which is much worse than last year."
Wencai shook his head helplessly, "If this continues, I don't know how many people will starve to death from thirst."
Everyone's heart was heavy. Although they escaped deep into the mountain, they felt very sad when they thought of the tragic situation below.
"Ouch, my butt." Ye Cheng fell to the ground on all fours, touching his butt and moaning in pain.
"You deserve it. Who asked you to touch Brother Tiger's head? You brat is so brave."
Although Ye Song cursed his brother, he still pulled him up from the ground.
Ye Yutong smiled and said: "Ye Cheng, Brother Tiger hates others touching his head and hugging his neck. I was pushed to the ground by him a few days ago."
Ye Cheng said embarrassedly: "Sister Tongtong, I don't know. I like Brother Tiger very much. I wanted to get close to him, but I didn't know he would nudge him in the butt."
Ye Yutong touched his head and said, "It's okay. Once you get familiar with it, it won't nudge you."
Mantang and Ye Mingxuan closed the door of the valley, used a tree stump to top it, and installed three bolts before following in.
Ye Yutong saw that the door was thicker and stronger than before, and they were so cautious.
He asked: "Brother, did something happen while we were out?"
"It's not like anything happened. It's just that a black bear and a few wild boars came here some time ago, and they almost broke the door open.
Uncle Yongchang and Uncle Wencai took us out to cut down some trees and re-strengthen the door. "
He said it very easily, but only they knew the danger at that time.
If he and Mantang hadn't climbed up the stone wall and threw rocks at them, the black bear and wild boar would have broken in!
Ye Yutong didn't know how dangerous it was in the deep mountains, but no matter how dangerous it was here, it was still much better than at the bottom of the mountain. At least there was no need to worry about food and drink here.
"Brother, why don't we install another door?"
Ye Mingxuan nodded, "Uncle Yongchang and Uncle Wencai said the same thing. We have cut down the tree back, and today we are building the gate inside."
"Tongtong, Mingzhe, are you back?"
Yongchang's wife and Wencai's wife were cleaning the cave just now, and they didn't know they were back.
It was the children at home who called them.
Ye Yutong said with a smile: "Auntie, not only are we back, but we also brought back a lot of salt, cloth, and cotton. It will be enough for our family for several years, and we can live here with peace of mind in the future."
