Chapter 181 The Young Patriarch Educates the Children
"You little kids, you know you want a gift! I will answer a question from my sister first. Have I told you that you should not go to the stream to play without the adults present?"
An Yi stopped and pretended to be angry.
"have!"
"Yes! However, Sister Lan happened to pick peach blossoms today and didn't have time to accompany us. However, Sister Young Tribe, don't worry, we are not afraid of water at all now. We were just practicing holding our breath in the stream..."
A little boy who looked very excited blinked his big watery eyes and looked at An Yi and said.
"Oh?! Is that right? Xiao Luo, tell me quickly, how long can you hold your breath in the water now?" After hearing the little boy's words, An Yi stopped wearing a stern face, and instead showed a gratified smile.
The child, who was called "Xiao Luo" by An Yi, raised his head with an arrogant expression and said, "I can hold it in the water to a hundred counts now!"
"Well, it's good, it's good! Xiao Luo, it's great! You're no longer the little brat who cried as soon as he got into the water..." An Yi said, and laughed "giggling".
"Sister An Yi, you are laughing at me again. I am no longer that little... I am already a little man now!" Xiao Luo was exposed by An Yi in front of "outsiders". His little mouth immediately pouted and he couldn't wait to defend himself.
"Sister An Yi, and I, and I! I can hold it to a hundred and twenty counts." The little boys next to him, who were a little taller than Xiao Luo, couldn't wait.
"Well, Xiaoshan is also great, but you have to keep working hard, otherwise Xiao Luo will soon overtake you!"
An Yi stroked Xiaoshan's head with his hands and said.
At this time, An Yi's eyes fell on the face of another little boy who looked a little shy. Seeing that he had not spoken, he walked over and asked softly, "Xiaoqiang, how are you? How long have you been able to dive now?"
The three little boys have completely different personalities. The little boy named "Xiaoqiang" just ran behind the butts of the other two little kids from the beginning, without saying a word.
"I, I, I can only hold up sixty numbers."
The child said, and said, I don’t know what happened, but tears were almost falling.
"Sister of the Young Tribe, don't worry about him, he will know how to cry." Xiao Luo said from the side.
"Xiao Luo, you are all friends and good friends. You can't say that to your friends. Everyone has their own strengths and their own weaknesses. When we see other people's weaknesses, we should not laugh at them, but help them, do you know?" An Yi said very gentlely.
"Sister, Young Tribe Chief, I'm sorry, I know I'm wrong, I will never do this again." Xiao Luo seemed to recognize his mistake and said very seriously.
"Well, it's a good kid to know the mistake and correct it. Xiao Luo is so awesome!" As he said that, An Yi turned his head and looked at Xiaoqiang and said:
"Xiaoqiang, what's wrong? Didn't my sister tell you before? Boys must be brave, dare to act, dare to take responsibility! It doesn't matter if you can only hold up sixty numbers now. As long as we practice carefully, we can make progress in the future. Sister believes in you, come, let's pull the hook."
An Yi said, stretching out his little finger to Xiaoqiang. Xiaoqiang blinked his eyes twice, and the tears that were about to fall were squeezed back again. A smile appeared on his face, and he also stretched out his little finger to An Yi and pulled the hook.
"Hook and hang yourself, you will not change for a hundred years! Yes..."
"Remember, your name is 'Xiaoqiang'. You must become stronger and stronger in the future. Don't always cry, do you know?"
"Well, I remember, Sister An Yi..." Xiaoqiang said, and a bright smile finally appeared on his face.
"Well, okay! You are all great. Let's see what delicious food my sister brings you back!" An Yi said as he took out a pack of fruit candy from his pocket and held it in his hand.
"Wow, it's water candy, it's so good, it's water candy..."
"Thank you, Sister An Yi..."
"Thank you, Sister An Yi..."
The three children danced and danced.
"You can share these candies with other children. Remember to share them with all the children, don't just eat them..."
"Yes, Sister An Yi, we understand!"
"Wait, put on your clothes first before going, and you're still a little man?! Just bare butt like this. Wouldn't you be ashamed if you meet a little girl?"
After An Yi said that, he laughed "giggle".
Several children ran and put their clothes on their bodies. In just a blink of an eye, they ran away without a trace.
An Yi looked at the direction where the children had disappeared, took a deep breath, then turned to look at Zhong Lin and said, "Let's go too, I'll take you to see your mother-in-law."
As he said that, An Yi had already taken the lead in walking forward.
Maybe it was because of the terrain that almost all the houses here were not next to each other, one in the east and one in the west. When she walked to a house located under a big peach tree, An Yi stopped.
"My mother-in-law is inside. This house is where I usually live with my mother-in-law." An Yi said as he walked straight to the door and gently clasped the door knocker on it.
"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, come back."
The door was not locked. As soon as An Yi finished speaking, he heard a "squeak" sound, and the wooden door was opened from inside.
Zhong Lin could see clearly that the person inside the door was the mother-in-law he had met in the Shili Taolin before.
"An An, you know how to come back!" said the mother-in-law in a slight reproachful tone. Suddenly, she looked behind An Yi inadvertently, and frowned for a moment: "An An, you, how can you bring outsiders in with you for a good idea?!"
My mother-in-law's face changed very quickly, and it can be seen that she was very angry.
"Mother-in-law, you've seen this person before, do you still remember?" An Yi signaled Zhong Lin to get closer.
"Of course I remember that my eyes were not so close that I could not recognize anyone. Wasn't he the young man we met in the Ten Mile Peach Forest?"
"Mother-in-law, hello, it's me, my name is Zhong Lin." Zhong Lin said politely.
"Um."
The mother-in-law just said "um" at Zhong Lin, then turned to look at An Yi and said, "I have seen it, but I am asking you now, why do you have to take advantage of the initiative to bring outsiders in. Have you forgotten the rules set by our ancestors? Have you forgotten the family law? Don't forget, you are the young clan leader now, and you will still be the clan leader in the future!"
"I……"
An Yi looked at his mother-in-law with aggrieved look on his face, but he did not refute.
"Mother-in-law, I think you misunderstood. Maybe An Yi didn't tell you in advance. Actually, she brought me in to treat you..."
"Zhong Lin, don't say..." Although An Yi interrupted Zhong Lin's words, it was obviously too late to stop him.
"Treat me? I'm not sick at all! An Yi, you can send him back now!"
After the mother-in-law said that, she closed the door with a "slap".
An Yi shook his head, smiled bitterly, and then said to Zhong Lin: "Zhong Lin, don't be angry, mother-in-law has such a temper. It seems that there is no way to treat her today. I will take you out of here first."
"Leave here? Where are you going? You won't really go back like that, right?" Zhong Lin said, thinking to himself, "If that's the case, that's too much. This joke is a big deal! Let's talk about the secret passage under the water..."
When I thought of this, Zhong Lin suddenly became a little confused. Yes, how to break the underwater secretly slut? If An Yi was not there, he might have drowned inside. When he went out, would he still have to...
"What are you thinking?" An Yi looked at Zhong Lin's expression, his eyes widened, and he said coquettishly.
"No, I didn't think about anything! I was wondering where we are now?" Zhong Lin said embarrassedly. An Yi guessed right, Zhong Lin was really thinking a lot just now.
"First find a place for you to settle down. After I understand my mother-in-law, I will treat her illness. She has a very strange temper and has always been unwilling to accept her old age, let alone admit that she is sick. There is no other way now, so I can only wait and talk about it..." An Yi said leisurely.
"Wait?! Then when will you wait?"
"Three days! If I can't convince my mother-in-law to ask you to treat her in three days..." An Yi said this, paused for a moment, and then continued in a low voice: "If my mother-in-law doesn't ask you to treat her in three days, I will send you back!"
In fact, Zhong Lin had no choice but to agree even if he disagreed, because he had no way to go back. Therefore, he could only nod. Fortunately, An Yi proposed the deadline not long, otherwise he would have really been on the "pirate ship"...
"Since I'm here, I'll take you to see where we live. I've lived here since I was a child, and I didn't know that there was an outside world before I went out. Don't look at our place, but as the saying goes, sparrows are small and all-in-one! We work from sunrise, rest from sunset, and are self-sufficient. Everyone lives a life of plenty of food and clothing, carefreeness, and everyone here seems to be so happy and so happy..."
That's right, since you come, you can rest! Zhong Lin is also thinking about it now, because it's useless to be anxious. Fortunately, An Yi has already informed his people and is not afraid that they will worry about him anymore. Listening to An Yi's introduction, Zhong Lin began to carefully observe this paradise.
To be precise, this place should be a place similar to a sinkhole. At the bottom of the pit, it is impossible to estimate how deep the sinkhole is. The bottom of the sinkhole, that is, where they are located, is really not small. It looks only larger than Zhongjia Village, and not smaller than Zhongjia Village. There are many caves of large and small size near the edge, which can be used to store items or serve as a place to live.
"This phoenix statue should be carved from the phoenix that saved the ancestors of your tribe as you said before, right?" Zhong Lin asked, pointing to a huge phoenix statue.
"Yes, it was carved based on the original shape of the phoenix. No one knows how long she has been standing here. We respect her, worship her, and regard her as our patron saint. Every year our tribe holds grand sacrificial activities. You are here very coincidental. This year's sacrificial activities will be held the day after tomorrow."
