Chapter 960 Night (13)

The sun hasn't completely set yet, but the moon has risen and is hanging on the top of the mountain.

The evening breeze blew down from the mountain forest and was extremely cool. Zhang Tan was worried that the children would catch cold and urged them to go ashore and go home.

Thump thump thump~~~

Xi'er hugged the little yellow duck and splashed in the shallow water, playing enthusiastically. She always wanted to touch the deeper water, where Xiaobai and Dunzi were, but she was repeatedly discovered by Xiaobai, and then was driven back, saying that she couldn't swim and could only stay in shallow water unless she learned how to swim.

However, the so-called deep water area only reached her belly.

snort!

If she is not allowed to go, then she won’t go! Xi'er also had a lot of fun holding the little yellow duck in the shallow water. She had never played like this before!

In the past, she would always take a bath at home, and at most she would fiddle around in a basin filled with water, and there was a sister watching next to her, so she couldn't let her get high as she pleased.

It's different here. There's such a big river, so she can play with it as she pleases.

Xi'er heard Zhang Tan's shouting but ignored it. She was indulging in playing in the water and didn't want to go home so early.

She secretly glanced at Xiaobai and Dunzi, feeling that their side was more fun. Not willing to give in, she got up from the water, hugged the little yellow duck, and sneaked over again. However, she was soon discovered by Xiaobai, who was watching in all directions, and escorted her away. return.

"hiahiahia~~~Xiaobai Xiaobai, let me come to your place to play." Xi'er said reluctantly as he was being escorted away.

"You can't swim, you will die." Xiaobai was also heartbroken, not wanting Xi'er to die as soon as she came to her house.

"hiahiahia~~~I can swim, I can, Xiaobai! Look!"

"Then you have fun." Xiaobai decided to give her a chance.

Xi'er immediately climbed down and sank into the water. She hugged the little yellow duck and fetched the water with her feet, pressing her small hands against the bottom of the river.

Xiaobai gave up on her decisively, "This is not your strong point."

Xi'er returned to the shallows with a silly smile, looked down at the pebbles under her feet, raised her feet, and splashed with water.

Immediately he found himself flying up and was picked up by Boss Zhang and put on his shoulders.

"Go home! It's time to eat."

He called Xiaobai and Dunzi to go ashore as well, because it was close to home. Once they got ashore and crossed the small bridge, they were home, so they didn't bring a change of clothes.

The group returned home under the setting sun and moonlight, put on clean clothes, and went to Dunzi's house together to prepare for dinner.

"I didn't put too much chili pepper, Zhang Tan, you can eat it without worry." Dunzi's mother was very considerate. She finally knew that Zhang Tan didn't like spicy food, so she made dinner as light as possible without adding too much chili pepper.

"Boss Zhang likes spicy food~" Xiaobai said.

Zhang Tan lifted her away and said, "Don't block the road."

He went to the kitchen to serve the dishes. The dishes from his hometown were all delicious and delicious.

The dining table was moved to the yard outside. At this time, the moon hung in the clear night sky, the moonlight was like water, the sun had completely set and disappeared, and the whole world was blue and black.

The mountain breeze is blowing, and there is no need for air conditioning or electric fans. However, there are many mosquitoes in the mountains, so a pile of grain crumbs are lit in the yard, raising a curl of green smoke to repel mosquitoes.

Xi'er was still asking Xiaobai whether she could go to the deep water to play in the deep water next time. Xiaobai never agreed, but she was anxious.

"Xiaobai Xiaobai, if you let me take a bath, can I call you sister?" Xi'er applied.

Xiaobai: "I am your sister."

Xi'er was stunned for a moment, scratched her neck and said, "I'm already 9 years old!"

Xiaobai laughed and said to Dunzi: "Xiwawa said she is 9 years old! Hahaha~~"

She stood in front of Xi'er, compared her height with Xi'er, patted Xi'er's little head, "Little one~"

Xi'er was so angry that she sang:

"Xiaobai Xiaobai went up the stairs,

Turn on the TV,

Pull up the little antenna,

The TV doesn't look good.

Turn off the TV;

Xiaobai Xiaobai went down the stairs,

…”

Xiaobai went to chase Xi'er, but Xi'er ran away quickly.

"Come here for dinner, don't run away, or you'll sweat again." Zhang Tan called to them.

Teacher Jiang and Dunzi's mother brought the last dish to the table, washed their hands, and sat down at the table.

"This is the rice wine I brewed myself. It's not high in alcohol and very sweet. Zhang Tan drinks a little." Dunzi's mother said. The pot was filled with rice wine. When the lid was opened, a scent of wine floated to the tip of the nose. There was no commercial wine. The pungent smell is light and mellow.

Zhang Tan poured a bowl and juice for Xiaobai, Xi'er and Dunzi.

"hiahiahia, godfather, I'll trade with you. Mine tastes delicious." Xi'er tried to exchange her juice for Zhang Tan's rice wine.

Zhang Tan smiled and said: "Children can't drink, you will get drunk."

Xi'er leaned her little head, her nose twitched, and she said intoxicatedly that it smelled so good.

Zhang Tan pushed her away. Does this little fool still have such talent? But no matter how good the talent is, it cannot be given to her.

Zhang Tan picked up the wine and clinked glasses with Teacher Jiang and Dunzi's mother, especially thanking Dunzi's mother for the hospitality.

Seeing this, Xiaobai also picked up his own cup and asked Xier and Dunzi to clink their glasses together.

…

The moon moved silently from the top of the mountain to the top of the head, and the stars came out, like the red and purple flowers produced by the lespedeza in the yard, filling the sky with stars.

After dinner, we sat in the yard for a while and then took the children home to sleep.

In the mountain village, people usually watch TV for a while and then go to bed.

Dunzi followed Xiaobai subconsciously, but was stopped by his mother.

Tan Jiner sent a message to ask about Zhang Tan's situation. Zhang Tan called Xier, who was being taught by Xiaobai, "Your sister sent a message. Come over and make a video call."

Xier immediately asked Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, Xiaobai, my sister misses me. Please let me go first~"

Xiaobai pinched her little face and let her go.

Xier then ran over and squeezed into Zhang Tan's arms. Zhang Tan handed her the phone that had just been connected and asked her to talk to her sister.

Xier was laughing all the time, saying that it was fun here, so fun, she didn't want to go back, and the food was delicious. She immediately boasted that she had eaten three bowls of rice tonight! She asked her sister to remember to help her cross out the food she owed in the little notebook.

Xier chatted with Tan Jiner for a while, and Xiaobai also came over. Finally, Zhang Tan also talked to her for a while and hung up the phone.

"Go back to sleep."

The night in the valley was particularly quiet. The house was filled with the sounds of chickens and various unnamed insects. From time to time, the deep calls of small animals came from the forest behind the house, adding to the quietness.

Xiaobai and Xier both slept with Teacher Jiang. Zhang Tan slept in a room by himself. The room was the new house of Jiang Ping and Bai Xinyu. There was even a broken Chinese character "囍" on the window frame.

The big bed was facing the dressing mirror. The mirror reflected the table lamp faintly. Zhang Tan leaned against the head of the bed and looked up to see the scene in the mirror.

He didn't think much about it. He turned off the table lamp and went to sleep. He was awakened by a strange cry in the middle of the night, like a child crying, one after another, wow wow.

Zhang Tan shivered, and all sleepiness disappeared. The hair on his body stood up. He dared not move. He pricked up his ears to listen. The sound came from the window, as if it was lying under the window.

After a while, the voice was still calling, with no intention of leaving at all, as if it had decided to stay here.

Zhang Tan was confused, wondering what it was. It sounded like a child crying.

Suddenly the sound stopped, and then it sounded in his ears. His hair stood up, and he sat up suddenly. Then he looked at the window in the moonlight, and saw a pair of green eyes staring at him. He felt a chill from his tailbone to the top of his head, and shouted to give himself courage:

"What is there!!!"

"Meow~~"

The thing on the window made a cat cry, jumped down the window, and disappeared from sight. There was a rustling sound in his ears, and soon the sound disappeared.

Zhang Tan turned on the light in the room, first glanced at the window, there was nothing there, then looked at the dressing mirror, and it was him in the mirror.

There were footsteps outside the door, and Teacher Jiang stood outside the door and asked him what happened.

Zhang Tan calmed down and said that a wild cat had just climbed to the window.

Teacher Jiang: "Wild cats in the mountains often appear in the village, close the window."

Zhang Tan was greedy for coolness at night, so he didn't close the window.

After such a commotion, he lost his sleepiness and sat against the head of the bed thinking about things. He didn't know how long it took before he fell asleep. The next day, he was woken up by Xiaobai knocking on the door. Xiaobai told him that Xiwawa had wet the bed last night!
