Chapter 615: Happy Child

“Let’s go! Everyone quickly finds a place to hide. The enemy is right in front of us. When they come, we will catch them off guard!”

A fair and tender child who was not even as tall as an adult’s legs was standing on the tallest haystack. He was wearing a pair of short-sleeved shorts. A fair and chubby little hand was raised high up. The words he spoke were young and full of vigor.

This person was a one-and-a-half-year-old Xiao Tong. He stood on the tall haystack with the bearing of a great general.

Under the haystack stood some four-or five-year-old children. Their tender faces were drenched in sweat, and their faces were red from the sun. Their clothes were stained with dirt from playing, and their clothes and hair were a little messy.

However, they didn’t care about this. They were playing very happily.

At this moment, their eyes were bright as they looked at the child on the haystack. There was even a look of worship in their eyes.

They were now playing a war game. The youngest, Xiao Letong, was their supreme commander.

“Yes, boss. Quick, everyone, quickly find a place to hide!”

The eight or nine children below immediately shouted excitedly.

“Quickly hide so that the enemy can’t see us. When they arrive, we’ll capture them!”

“Boss said that if we capture an enemy, he’ll give us a piece of candy!”

“No, where did boss get the candy? I remember his mother saying that he’s not allowed to eat candy?”

“That’s right, where did boss get the candy?”

Xiao Letong, “…” We’re in the middle of a war. Why are you discussing where I get my candies?

Xiao Letong’s eyes turned sharp, and then he shouted in a very dignified voice, “Why are you still standing there? The enemy is coming. Are you waiting to be caught?”

With the reminder from boss, the soldiers immediately jumped up and hurriedly looked for places to hide. If they were caught by the enemy, they had to give the enemy a piece of candy. They were not willing.

Xiao Tong stood on the high ground and saw where the soldiers were hiding and was speechless again.

Hey, Soldier One, do you have to stick your head out so obviously?

Soldier Two, it’s a good idea to hide behind a tree, but you have to find a tree that can hide your body. Why do you have to find a tree that’s only a little bigger than your own leg? Half of your body was exposed.

Soldier Three, you are standing in the middle of the road with your eyes closed. Do you think that the enemy can’t see you?

…

Xiao Tong rubbed his forehead and covered his small face. He didn’t know what to say. ‘Forget it. If they’re captured, I’ll only lose some candy.’

“Xiao Letong!” Just when Xiao Letong was deciding where to hide, a roar came.

Xiao Letong’s body, which was about to move, suddenly froze. Then, he looked at his two cousins with an embarrassed and fawning expression. He smiled and called out, “Big Sister, second sister!”

His two cousins, Xiao Rourou and Xiao Lulu were eight and seven years old. They were both wearing pink dresses with two small braids and two pink bows. They looked beautiful and cute.

However, the two beautiful and cute girls had their hands on their waists. Their eyes were fierce as they glared at their little cousin.

Xiao Rourou raised her hand and pointed at Xiao Letong. She shouted sternly, “Come down!”

The girls were normally so gentle, but they exploded like a volcano around their little cousin.

Scared by his sisters, Xiao Letong quickly slid down from the haystack. Then, he walked in front of his two cousins and said with a smile, “My two good sisters, I’m down here now. Don’t tell Grandpa, Grandma, and mom, Okay?”

After saying that, he even stretched out his two small claws to grab Xiao Rourou’s sleeve.

Xiao Rourou immediately swatted away his two small claws and said loudly, “Your hands are very dirty. Don’t grab my clothes! Second Grandma bought these clothes for us recently.”

When Xiao Letong heard this, his eyes lit up. He then stretched out his little claws again. He said with a smile, “Big Sister, your skirt is really beautiful. I really want to touch it!”

Xiao Rourou immediately jumped up and said loudly, “Don’t touch it!”

Xiao Letong didn’t put down his claws but started to bargain. “I won’t touch your dress, but you have to promise that you won’t tell on me.”

“No!” The two sisters immediately refused.

Xiao Rourou said with a very serious expression, “Xiao Letong, what if you fall from the high haystack? You must know how dangerous that is!”

Xiao Lulu nodded and agreed, “Brother, aunt warned you severely that you can’t climb trees, walls, or swim in ponds. You should be obedient. You’re still young. What if you hurt yourself?”

Xiao Letong immediately said, “Second sister, I’m obedient. I didn’t do any of those things.”

“But you climbed the haystack!” Xiao Lulu said.

“But mom didn’t say that I can’t climb the haystack, did she?” Xiao Letong said with a smile, “Eldest sister, second sister, look at this haystack. It’s not that tall. It’s only as tall as an adult. And even if you fall from it, it’s fine. Look at the hay below. Also, look, I have so many brothers and sisters below to catch me, right?”

If there were adults around, they would be able to tell that Xiaotong was trying to fool his two sisters.

However, even though Xiao Rourou and Xiao Lulu were older than Xiao Tong, they were only seven or eight years old. They were still very naive. After listening to their little cousin’s words, they looked around and felt that what he said made sense.

“Sister, what brother said makes sense,” Xiao Lulu looked at her sister and said.

Xiao Rourou frowned. She felt that something was wrong, but she couldn’t tell what it was.

In the end, she still insisted, “But little brother, climbing the haystack is very dangerous. You can’t do it!”

“…” Xiao Letong. It looks like I can’t fool them forever.

Just as Xiao Letong was about to speak, a soldier below shouted, “Boss, the enemy is here. Should we hide?”

“Boss, hurry up and hide. You’re so small. If you don’t hide, you’ll definitely be the first to be caught. That won’t be good.”

Xiao Rourou and Xiao Lulu, “…”

When Xiao Letong heard this, he immediately ran away and said loudly, “Sisters, I’m not going to talk to you guys anymore. I’m going to go hide.”

The two sisters, “…” What just happened?

“Hey, little brother, come back here!” Xiao Rourou stamped her feet and shouted loudly.

Xiao Lulu looked at her sister with a puzzled expression and said, “Sister, do we still have to tell aunt about little brother climbing the haystack?”

Xiao Rourou said, “Hmph, of course, we have to. That was so dangerous!”

Xiao Lulu said with hesitation, “But if we tell aunt, will little brother be beaten again?”

Everyone in the Taoyuan Village was reluctant to scold Xiao Tong. However, there was one person who was always ready to spank Xiao Tong. That person was Xiao Tong’s biological mother.

Xiao Rourou bit her lips and didn’t say anything.

She didn’t want her brother to be beaten either.

But… But..

Xiao Lulu looked around and said in a low voice, “Sister, why don’t we just pretend that we didn’t see little brother?” Then, they wouldn’t need to lie.

Xiao Rourou thought for a moment and said, “Okay!”

Then, the two little sisters held hands and left.

Xiao Letong saw their receding figures and immediately patted his small chest, saying, “I was really scared to death. If the two sisters really told Mom about this, my butt will not be safe.”

“Haha, I caught You!” Suddenly, an excited and tender voice sounded in Xiao Letong’s ear, “Haha, I caught the boss! Quickly come out and surrender!”

Xiao Letong, who was caught, covered his ear with one hand and then shouted at that person, “So what if you caught me? Do you need to shout? It’s so loud! You have almost deafened me!”

However, he was a little depressed in his heart. He was the first one to be caught, and he was the boss. He felt so ashamed. So he looked quite unhappy.

“Ah, Boss, is your ear okay?” The person who had been yelled at did not get angry. Instead, he was very anxious as he kept looking into Xiao Tong’s ear.

“Boss, what’s wrong with your ear?”

“It’s all your fault, Changsheng. You yelled so loudly that it broke Boss’ ear.”

“Yeah, Changsheng, it’s all your fault. I won’t play with you anymore.”

“I won’t play with you anymore either!”

..

Xiao Changsheng was only five years old. Because he broke Boss’ ear, his little friends all said that they wouldn’t play with him anymore. His little face instantly became scared and panicked.

And then…

“Wah Wah…”

Xiao Letong, “…”

This was the bad thing about being a child. He was surrounded by other children who’d cry at the drop of a hot.

However, returning to his mother’s side as a child was really good!
