The three children immediately looked at Gong Tianhao seriously and nodded,
Yes, Uncle Gong, we’re listening!”
Gong Tianhao said, “Kids, you know that strangers have been appearing at
Taoyuan Village, right?”
Xiao Xiaohui seemed to know what Gong Tianhao was going to say. He said
confidently, “Uncle Gong, even if there are strangers, we are not afraid. The
village has video surveillance installed on every road.”
As soon as he heard that there were video surveillance cameras installed, Gong
Tianhao’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately reacted.
That’s right. We can use those to look for evidence
However, he had to deal with the matter at hand first.
Gong Tianhao said, “Yes, there are video surveillance cameras installed at
every big road in Taoyuan Village. But the bad people know how to avoid the
big roads.
After saying that, Gong Tianhao pointed at the intersection where Xiao Xiaohui
and the others were standing and said, “Xiaohui, tell me, do you have
surveillance cameras installed here?”
Xiao Xiaohui frowned and shook his head. “No.
“Okay, then let me ask you again. Where does this small road lead to? Does it
lead to the intersection of Taoyuan Village?
“No! The three children shook their heads in unison.
“Then where does this small path lead to? Gong Tianhao wasn’t familiar with
this place, so he really didn’t know. Therefore, it was better to figure it out.
“It’s Da Wa village!” The three children answered together.
“Da Wa village? Gong Tianhao asked with a frown.
“Yes! Xiao Xiaohui didn’t know why Uncle Gong was asking these things, but
he knew Uncle Gong must have his reasons. Xiao Xiaohui explained, “Go
straight from this small road, and after two mountain peaks, you’ll reach Da
Wa Village.”
Gong Tianhao realized this was a dangerous path. He asked, “Are there other
paths like this?
“Yes.” Xiao Xiaohui pointed to another small road and said, This road leads to
the back mountain village, and the fork road leads to another Big Li Village...
When Gong Tianhao heard this, he realized that there were too many
loopholes. Fortunately, he had discovered it in time.
Gong Tianhao said very seriously, “Children, listen to me. This place is very
dangerous. Don’t come to the mountains to herd cattle in the future. Also, no
matter where you go to herd the cattle, you have to stay together, understand?
The three children looked at each other in dismay. Then, Xiao Xiaohui asked in
puzzlement, “Uncle Gong, what’s the danger here? We have herded the cattle
like this for half a year. There was no danger.”
Gong Tianhao patted Xiao Xiaohui’s little head and said, “Just because there
wasn’t any danger in the past doesn’t mean that there isn’t any danger now. Do
you understand? Now be obedient and lead the cows away. In the future, I’ll
explain the dangers to you
Although the three children didn’t know what kind of danger there was, since
Uncle Gong had said so, they obediently drove the cattle back.
Xiao Xiaohui walked in front of Little Light and patted its head as he said,
“Little Cattle King, did you hear that? We should go down the mountain and
stop playing here. Uncle Gong said that this place is very dangerous.”
The Little Cattle King rubbed its head against Xiao Xiaohui’s palm and mooed
twice. Then, he rubbed his head against his mother and moaned twice.
The cow stuck out its tongue and licked her child’s head. Then, the two got up
from their lazy state and walked down the mountain in a familiar and obedient
manner.
Gong Tianhao narrowed his eyes. “This Little Cattle King is indeed very
intelligent. It can even understand human speech.
The cattle went down the mountains and avoided the crops. Even without the
reins, they were still well-behaved and would not destroy anything. There was
some wild grass at the bottom of the mountain.
However, it was obvious that the mother and son had eaten their fill.
Then, the group went home.
They drove the cattle back to the cattle pen.
The Little Cattle King and his mothers home was not ordinary. It was very
clean and covered in clean hay. In summer, there were many mosquito bites.
The mosquito incense was lit every day to make them comfortable.
The two cattle paid special attention to hygiene. They had a special corner
where they relieve themselves.
Little Light bounced the door open with his head. Then, he waited for his
mother to walk in. After that, he bit the rope on the door and pulled the door
close.
Gong Tianhao was surprised. ‘No wonder people believe in the Little Cattle
King. He is so clever!
When Xiao Xiaohui saw that the cattle were back in their home, he asked,
“Uncle Gong, is there anything else?”
Gong Tianhao shook his head and said, “There’s nothing else. You can go play
now.”
“Alright, Uncle Gong, well go out and play.” When they heard they could go
play, the children’s eyes lit up, and they ran away.
Gong Tianhao, who had always beena neat freak, stood in front of the cow pen
and observed it for a while.
After that, he looked at the time and walked towards the Xiao family’s house.
The cow pen was right next to the Xiao family’s house. Through a window in
the courtyard, they could see the cattle in the pen. They would hear strange
movements immediately.
When Gong Tianhao entered the courtyard, he saw Xiao Lingyu in a white
dress. She was rubbing her eyes as she came out. She was still in a dazed state.
When Gong Tianhao saw this, he shook his head and smiled. Then, he tidied up
the recliner. He arranged the pillows, cushions, and other things.
After everything was done, he smiled and said, “You’re awake.”
Then, he went forward and helped her lie down on the recliner. She continued
to sleep for a while.
After a while, she would be completely awake.
Gong Tianhao returned to the house and poured a cup of warm water for Xiao
Lingyu. He placed it on the stone table in front of her. Then, he stood up and
returned to the house. After a while, he brought out a plate of fruits and placed
it on the stone table.
People say that eating apples would make the child fair and cute. Therefore,
Xiao Lingyu would eat at least two apples every day.
However, she did not like to eat the apple skin. Therefore, she would peel the
skin every time. Before Gong Tianhao arrived, Xiao Lingyu would peel the
apples herself. After he did, this became one of his tasks.
Xiao Lingyu sat on the recliner for a while. She reached out her hand, and Gong
Tianhao quickly handed her a glass of water.
After drinking two mouthfuls of water, she accidentally choked.
“Drink slowly!” Gong Tianchen said immediately. He put down his work and
rushed to her side. He patted her lightly and said, “You’re already an adult, yet
you still choked when drinking water.”
Xiao Lingyu was completely awake then.
Hearing Gong Tianhao’s words of concern, she felt a little uncomfortable. She
said, “It was an accident. There’s no need to be so concerned.”
Gong Tianhao said, “How can I not be concerned?”
Xiao Lingyu didn’t say anything.
Gong Tianhao patted her twice. After she stopped coughing, he also stopped.
He walked back, sat down, and continued peeling the apple.
After a moment, he finished peeling the apple and handed it to Xiao Lingyu. He
said, “Eat this one slowly. Be careful of choking.”
Xiao Lingyu took the apple. Her face was slightly red, and she said awkwardly,
“I know. I’m not a child. Why wouldI choke on an apple.”
After saying that, she took a bite of the apple.
However, for some reason, her luck was against her.
Xiao Lingyu coughed uncomfortably.
Gong Tianhao’s expression changed, and he quickly patted her back a few
times. Then, Xiao Lingyu managed to catch her breath.
Xiao Lingyu coughed a few more times.
Gong Tianhao took the cup of water and brought it to her mouth. “Drink some
water!
Xiao Lingyu obediently drank a few mouthfuls of water.
Gong Tianhao said, “I told you to be careful. You’re really like a child. But no
matter, I’m here to look after you.
“PEFT! Xiao Lingyu spat out a mouthful of water.
Gong Tianhao patted her back a few more times.
Xiao Lingyu finally calmed down, and she finished the apple.
Gong Tianhao sat at the stone table. He supported half of his head with one
hand, but his eyes were staring at Xiao Lingyu seriously.
When Xiao Lingyu met his gentle gaze, her cheeks quickly turnmed red. Her eyes
darted around, and she appeared a little shy...
