Deng Fang looked at the little black donkey spinning in circles in the snow, pursed her lips, and jumped off the tree after struggling in her heart.
After getting off the tree, Deng Fang shouted: "Donkey!"
When the little black donkey heard this, he stopped, raised his head and pricked up his ears. He turned around and found Deng Fang.
"Ah ah ah..."
The little black donkey ran towards Deng Fang, barking very excitedly.
When he arrived at Deng Fang's side, the little black donkey kept rubbing his head on Deng Fang's arms and shoulders, very affectionately.
Deng Fang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "I don't want to send you back either, so as not to cause trouble for myself again, just follow me from now on!"
The little black donkey blinked his big eyes and stared at Deng Fang, his eyes full of kindness.
Deng Fang continued: "From today on, you will be called Donkey, and I will take you to Shaolin!"
With that said, Deng Fang hugged the donkey's neck, turned over and rode on it.
At this moment, Donkey'er was unexpectedly cooperative and allowed Deng Fang to sit on his back.
When Deng Fang saw this, she looked up to the sky and laughed. She rode her donkey and walked leisurely on the snow until she disappeared between the vast sky and the earth.
…
Deng Fang rode his donkey and had been walking for a full day and a half.
Heavy snow began to fall from the sky again, and the snow on the ground could already bury the donkey's hooves.
Deng Fang was a little worried.
To be honest, he didn't know where he was going...
He didn't know whether he could see the crowds or not.
Fortunately, the donkey is not a human and cannot speak, so I don't need to explain to it.
But I and Donkey always have to eat!
Thinking of this, Deng Fang was already a little anxious. After all, he had not eaten for almost two days. If he was thirsty, he would just hold some snow in his mouth.
And he also felt that Donkey's footsteps were beginning to feel a little weak.
"well......"
Deng Fang looked up at the heavy snow in the sky and sighed.
But before he could finish his sigh, Deng Fang noticed puffs of white mist floating vaguely behind the hill in front of him on the left.
This white mist is very hidden in the heavy snow, and it would be difficult for Deng Fang to spot it if he didn't raise his head.
Looking at the bursts of white mist, Deng Fang was curious and rode her donkey towards the direction of the white mist.
After going up a small slope, Deng Fang finally saw the source of the white mist, and was overjoyed.
It turned out that there was a small village in the distance ahead, and the white mist was drifting from that small village.
"Finally I met someone!"
Deng Fang shouted excitedly and led the donkey towards the small village.
The donkey seemed to know that he was going to have something to eat. At this moment, his legs were full of strength and he could run very fast.
Not long after, Deng Fang and Donkey entered the village.
As soon as they entered the village, they saw a large group of people eating something around a big pot. There were hot steamed buns with white flowers beside them. Deng Fang and Donkey'er drooled at the sight.
Deng Fang got off the ground and led the donkey over.
When the surrounding villagers saw Deng Fang approaching, they all stopped holding their chopsticks and looked at him in surprise.
Deng Fang walked in front of everyone, raised his hands and praised: "Fellow folks, I am passing by your village and feel hungry. I hope you can..."
Before Deng Fang finished speaking, two or three middle-aged women in the crowd screamed.
Immediately afterwards, the people around him pointed at Deng Fang angrily and yelled.
Deng Fang was confused and didn't know what happened.
In desperation, Deng Fang looked up and down on his body, but there was nothing special about him.
But when she turned around, Deng Fang knew why she was scolded.
The donkey was standing in the bamboo basket containing the steamed buns, minding his own business munching on those white steamed buns!
"You damn donkey!"
Deng Fang jumped up from the ground in shock, rushed to the donkey's side, and kicked him on the butt.
The donkey was enjoying his meal when suddenly he was kicked. He turned around with half a bun in his mouth.
Deng Fang was furious, but Donkey was extremely calm. After looking at Deng Fang again, Donkey continued to lower his head and picked up another steamed bun.
At this time, the surrounding villagers swarmed up and surrounded Deng Fang and Donkey.
Deng Fang was surrounded by curses, which made his head explode.
Suddenly, there was a shout from outside the crowd. After hearing it, everyone stopped and slowly backed away.
At the same time, an old woman with gray hair and plain linen clothes walked into the crowd, looked Deng Fang up and down, and asked.
"Little baby, is this your donkey?"
Deng Fang nodded sheepishly and said, "I'm sorry, old lady, we haven't eaten for almost two days. The donkey was so hungry that he ate everyone's food."
The old woman smiled and waved her hand, and responded: "Forget it, everyone celebrates my birthday today. It is a happy event, so just eat it."
When Deng Fang saw the old woman saying this, her heart was relieved.
The old woman continued to ask: "Where are you from? Why are you here alone?"
"My master and I went to the city to buy goods, but we got lost and lost our way..."
Deng Fang was stunned for a moment, and then started talking nonsense.
The old woman nodded and replied: "Oh, that's it. We are only two days away from Jingjiao City. I guess your master is waiting for you in the city."
When Deng Fang heard this, he became interested. He could enter the city in two days' walk, which was good news.
Deng Fang looked at the old woman and nodded her head, clasping her hands into fists: "Thank you, mother-in-law."
The old lady liked Deng Fang's courtesy very much. She thought for a moment, looked at the donkey, and then said to Deng Fang.
"Little boy, I'm afraid you don't have money or food with you, do you? I think you are also a well-educated person. So, if you teach my little grandson a few words and let your donkey help us work for a day, we will give him a gift. How about some dry food for you?"
When Deng Fang heard this, he thought it was a good idea and nodded in agreement.
Then, the old woman waved, and a skinny kid came out of the crowd. He looked like he was no more than six or seven years old, and his eyes were full of timidity when he looked at Deng Fang.
"There are no literate and educated people in our village, but I want my little grandson to be able to work as a bookkeeper in the city in the future, so that he can have a serious way of living and become a city citizen."
Deng Fang nodded, understanding the old woman's intention.
The old woman continued: "You don't need to know many words, as long as you can recognize the accounting figures."
Deng Fang patted her chest and agreed.
The old woman and everyone were very happy when they saw her. It seemed that this was an opportunity for a big shot to come out of the village.
Then, the old woman asked several young men to take the donkey into the village, and told Deng Fang that they would take the donkey to grind the mill.
Naturally, Deng Fang had no objections. He couldn't even pull the mill, so what kind of donkey was he?
Besides, I still managed to pull it off for most of the day!
Then, the old woman took her little grandson and led Deng Fang to a piece of pure white snow, and said to Deng Fang apologetically.
"Little sir, no one in our village can read. We don't even have paper or pens in the village. You just have to teach them as you go."
Deng Fang smiled knowingly, even writing on the ground was the same, and then started writing on the ground with his hands.
When the surrounding villagers saw it, many of them stuck their heads out to take a look, but they all retreated after being scolded by a few older people.
Even the old lady herself, after seeing Deng Fang start teaching, she walked away with great respect.
Deng Fang watched every move of these people. It was really funny, but he was also glad that he and Donkey entered such a village. They were really lucky!
