The Black Duck Brothers and Sisters

On the shore of Jingxin Lake, there is a small boat next to it. Further ahead, there is a small wooden house, where two black ducks live. They are a pair of brothers and sisters. The older one is called Dada, and the younger one is called Dada. One is called Jiajia. Their parents died of illness early in life, leaving them alone to depend on each other. Usually, Dada goes out to catch earthworms, while Jiajia is responsible for cleaning at home.

One day, Dada went out to catch earthworms as usual. When Jiajia was sweeping the floor, she saw a little cockroach with wings flapping and taking off. Jiajia chased after him with an electric mosquito swatter in his hand, and the little cockroach panicked and ran forward desperately. At this moment, the door opened, and the little cockroach flew out of the door.

Dada was amused when he saw Jiajia holding an electric mosquito swatter and panting. He asked casually: "What are you doing? Are you sweating profusely from running?" Jiajia pouted. , said with disdain: "I am killing cockroaches. One cockroach can have a nest, so it must be killed!"

Dada took Jiajia's electric mosquito swatter and joked Said: "Forget it! Cockroaches are also living things. At worst, let's let them fly!" Jiajia also wanted to argue: "But they are pests!" Dada patted Jiajia on the shoulder and said, "Come and see! Brother I brought you something delicious. All of them are your favorite bugs."

Jiajia originally liked eating bugs, but this time she couldn't be happy and ate them glumly. . Dada said: "Does it taste good? Don't worry, my brother will catch more bugs for you to eat in the future." Jiajia said helplessly.

A few days later, Jiajia found that the cockroaches flew back again. This time, good guys, three or four cockroaches flew together. Jiajia decided to change her strategy. She took a newspaper and a hot water bottle and quietly followed the cockroaches, waiting for them to rest before annihilating them in one fell swoop. Thinking about it, he saw a cockroach that couldn't fly. It was a good time to take action. At this time, Dada pushed the door in and the cockroaches flew away when they saw the opportunity. Jiajia put down the newspaper and hot water bottle angrily and got angry at Dada: "It's all your fault! Otherwise they wouldn't be able to fly away." Dada looked at Jiajia fiercely and said, "Why are you so small-minded? Even cockroaches can’t be tolerated?”

Jiajia was very angry and said aggrievedly: “Then you live with the cockroaches! I’ll leave!” After that, she carried a small bag and ran away. Going out to chase, he just said: "Go away and see who will catch earthworms for you in the future! Let's go! Let's go!"

Jiajia ran far away in one breath, crying loudly as she ran, obviously I was right, so why didn't my brother listen? She felt even sadder when she thought about how her brother, who was always thinking of her and who was kind to her, suddenly spoke harshly and hurt others. She saw a boat by the lake and thought of Uncle Sun in the next village. If she didn't go there to avoid the limelight, she wouldn't be able to return home anyway.

Jiajia hurried to Uncle Sun's house before it was completely dark. Finally, before dark, we arrived at Uncle Sun's residence. She knocked gently on the door. Uncle Sun heard a knock on the door and asked, "Who is it? It's so late!"

"It's me. I'm Jiajia." Jiajia Said with a cry.

"What's wrong? Come into the house and talk." Uncle Sun greeted Jiajia into the house and poured a glass of milk. Uncle Sun took off his glasses and newspaper and said, "What happened? Why didn't you go home so late?" Jiajia cried and told the whole story. After hearing this, Uncle Sun smiled and said, "That's it? I thought it was such a big deal? It's too late today. I'll talk to your brother when I send you back tomorrow. Don't cry, your eyes are wet." Turning red from crying." Jiajia wiped away her tears and stopped crying.

Uncle Sun said: "You must be hungry after coming all the way. Eat some earthworms and millet first! I will make your bed."

The next day, Uncle Sun took Jiajia home. Jiajia saw the familiar cabin and shouted: "Brother! Brother!" No one in the house responded, except for a few fresh earthworms on the table and a note next to it.

Jiajia: It was my brother who spoke too hastily yesterday. It was my fault that I caught a pot of earthworms that you like to eat. I hope you can forgive me.

Dadaliu

When Jiajia read this note, she bit into half of the earthworms and thought of her brother who worked tirelessly to catch earthworms and went out early in the morning. I was moved to tears. Uncle Sun said that I am relieved to see that you are okay. I'm going back first. My vegetables are still waiting for me to water them.

Jiajia said goodbye to Uncle Sun happily and was busy cleaning up the house at home, preparing to reconcile with her brother. Who knew that after waiting for a day, it was already dark and my brother didn't come back. Jiajia felt a little worried. Could it be that her brother was still angry with her? It doesn't make sense, so why catch her favorite earthworms? Then why haven't you come back yet? Is my brother going to be okay? I have to go find him.

Jiajia flashed a flashlight and shouted "Brother! Brother!" It was raining heavily outside, and Jiajia didn't bring an umbrella. She saw the fireflies on the roadside, flashing one after another, and asked: " Dear fireflies, have you seen my brother?" The leader of the firefly flew to Jiajia in a flash and asked: "Who is your brother?" Jiajia gestured and said, "A dark-skinned duck. , about this high." The fireflies shook their heads, said, "I haven't seen it before," and flew away.

The next day, Jiajia asked dragonflies, ants, spiders, rabbits, chickens, etc. one after another. They all said that they had never seen Dada, which made Jiajia very anxious. Jiajia hid under a tree alone and cried. The tree suddenly spoke: "A few days ago, I saw a duck being fascinated by a Dutch spirit, just in the pond in front."

Jiajia was anxious and asked the big tree: " Is it a dark-skinned duck that is so tall?" Dashu nodded and said, "Yes. I heard that he came to find his sister and was kidnapped by He Jing for some reason." "Then how can I find her. Where is he?" Jiajia asked impatiently.

The big tree said calmly: "This lotus spirit claims to be the lotus seat of the Bodhisattva. It lies everywhere and says that it can do anything. Whenever it rains, its power is infinite and it is good at capturing the heart. , especially for males, has an irresistible charm. It is not easy to break her curse. "

"What should I do for my brother? "Speak quickly!" Jiajia rushed to say.

"This lotus spirit is very cunning. She usually dresses up as an ordinary lotus and looks like nothing else. She only shows her true colors on rainy days, which is also the most dangerous time. I see you This little duck is no match for her, so don’t die!”

“No, I must rescue my brother. So what’s her weakness? How can I rescue my brother?” "

"You need to prepare fresh tea leaves, pine leaves and an axe," said the tree.

"Okay. I'll prepare now." Jiajia said and immediately went to prepare.

Early the next morning, Jiajia climbed the mountain to find the freshest tea leaves, carrying a full basket on her back. Then he went to collect pine leaves. This was not as easy as collecting tea leaves. Jiajia pulled the leaves from the pine trees with his mouth. He cut many scars and there was still blood, but when he thought of his brother who was confused by the lotus essence, Jiajia still gritted his teeth. Keep pulling. After pulling out a basket of pine needles, Jiajia's mouth was surrounded by deep blood marks. The last one was to find an axe. When the little fish in the lake heard about Jiajia's story of saving her brother, they were very moved and collectively gave Jiajia an axe.

*** After finishing their things, Jiajia was preparing to hit the road, but found that she was too hungry and couldn't walk much. After all, I haven't eaten properly for several days, and I feel obviously exhausted. Jiajia blamed herself for being too stupid and not learning how to catch earthworms, otherwise she wouldn't be so embarrassed. Jiajia once heard her brother say that vegetable leaves can satisfy hunger. Jiajia found vegetable leaves in the vegetable field near her home and ate them like a jujube.

After Jiajia was full, she took the boy to the lotus pond and waited for the rain. The hard work paid off. Three hours later, it finally began to rain heavily. He Jing appeared. When he saw Jiajia, he said, "Little girl, I think you are very empty. Who are you waiting for after sitting here for three hours?" Haha." Jiajia said seriously: "He Jing, please give me back my brother. Today I want to rescue my brother.

”

“Little girl, what a big breath. If you have the ability, kill me directly. Otherwise, not only will I not return your brother, I will also take you in with him. Look at the moves. "As soon as he finished speaking, He Jing tied Jiajia with his own roots, so that Jiajia couldn't move. "Ah! ah! Let me go! "Jiajia kept struggling, and suddenly remembered that she had brought a lot of pine needles. Jiajia tried her best to get rid of the shackles of the rhizome, stung He Jing with pine needles, and gave a beautiful counterattack.

He Jing was confused by the situation. Miao wanted to escape, so Jia Jia stepped forward and struck with an ax, splitting He Jing in half with a bang. But she couldn't find her brother, so she kept shouting: "Brother, where are you?" "I only heard someone echoing in the distance: "I'm here! I'm here! "She thought of the third treasure, which was tea leaves. She sprinkled all the fresh tea leaves into the water, and with the heavy rain from the sky, they suddenly turned into white and flawless lotus flowers, delicate and beautiful, noble and elegant. Jia Jia He panicked and said, "Are you all the substitutes of that He Jing? Don't move. Give it back to my brother, or I won't be polite. "

Those lotus flowers all laughed, pointed to the lotus in the middle, and said, "Look, that black duck is your brother? "

Sure enough, the pond was full of lotus flowers, and the brightest one in the middle was indeed a black duck. Jiajia shouted: "Brother, brother! Dada also ran towards Jiajia and said, "I finally found you." "

"How could you be confused by the Dutch spirit? Makes me so worried! "Jia Jia said.

"Aren't we looking for you? What do you still say? That day, I braved the rain to look for you. I heard He Jing say there was a way to find you, so I believed her. Unexpectedly, she cast a spell on me and made me dizzy! "

"She is so hateful! "Jiajia said angrily.

"Yeah. Leave her alone. I have created my own delicious food again, go try it now! "Dada said proudly.

"What? "Jia Jia asked curiously.

"You will know after eating it. "After Dada took Jiajia home, he asked her to stay in the house and not allow her to come out. Then she quietly put something from a jar and gave it to Jiajia to eat. Jiajia took a bite and felt the taste. It was very strange, so I vomited it out and asked, “What are they? "

"Hey, they're all those damn cockroaches! It tastes good! "Dada laughed loudly, and Jiajia next to him made a disgusting gesture and spat out his mouth.
