The five brothers and sisters looked at each other with a touch of concern and a little curiosity in their eyes, and then asked in unison: "Feng, how do you know your mother is angry?"
Since they began to understand, the bird, named Feng, has always been by their side, living with them. When they were young, their mother was often too busy to take care of them, and it was Feng who took on the responsibility of protecting them and accompanying them to play. Whenever they feel hungry, Feng always comes back with a variety of fresh and delicious fruits and feeds them. Over time, they and Feng established a very deep emotional bond, the kind of emotion, even beyond the ordinary family and pet friendship, as if Feng has already become an indispensable member of their family.
In addition, Feng is surprisingly clever, not only able to speak, but also mastered the language of various animals and plants, which is just like their powers. At first, the little ones naively thought that everyone in the world was born with the same magical ability to communicate with animals and plants as they were. Only later did they gradually discover that neither the evildoers in the village of evildoers nor the people from the outside world had such powers. In this vast world, it seems that only they, their parents and Phoenix have this unique skill.
Feng sighed gently, as if there were endless feelings. Then, it flapped its wings hard, and then two PAWS firmly stopped on the shoulders of Huo Dong, and said in a squeaky voice: "Masters, you make trouble all day, as long as the ancestor is angry, he will habitually take out the ruler from the space to appreciate, I have been with the ancestor for many years, how can I not know the subtle signs of this?"
Recalling thousands of years of long time, since the ancestor fell into a deep sleep, as her mount, Feng alone in this world lonely spent thousands of years. Five years ago, when the spirit of the ancestor woke up and the soul pierced the mortal body, the Feng, with his keen perception of her breath, sought it out from thousands of miles away and has been faithfully accompanying the ancestor's side ever since. It knows the joys and sorrows of the ancestors, although the ancestors always appear placid on the surface, as if anything is difficult to touch her heart, but if you carefully observe, you can still find some subtle changes in her emotions, so as to determine whether she is angry.
A few little ones heard the words of Phoenix, the forehead instantly emerged a fine bead of sweat, that one bead of sweat along their young cheeks slowly slipped. A ruler? Their minds suddenly emerged of the majesty of the mother holding a ruler, the heart is not good. Oh, shit, shit! It seems that my mother is really angry this time, and I am afraid that she will beat them severely.
Honan looked at Huo Dong, his eyes revealed a hint of timidity, and his voice trembled slightly and said: "Brother, we should leave quickly."
Horsey, Huo Bei, Huo Zhong also echoed with one voice: "Yes, wait for the mother's anger to disappear, we will come back." In their young minds, escape now seemed to be the only way to avoid punishment.
Huo Dong thought for a moment in his heart, and also felt that the proposal had some truth. What they could do was to travel to a nearby town for a while, and then return after their mother's anger had subsided. So he nodded slightly and said softly, "OK."
Just as they stood on tiptoe and were ready to slip away quietly, like thieves, a cold voice, like a bitter wind, suddenly sounded from the room: "Where are you going?" There was an unmistakable sense of authority in the voice that momentarily froze their steps in place.
"Are you really going to run away forever? What did I usually teach you? When you do something wrong, you have to admit it, not just run away from it." Huo Bingbing's voice came again, and the words were full of disappointment and blame for them.
"Also, what you have done today is really out of line. I don't think you'd think to dig up someone else's grave. If it weren't for this wicked village, you'd be in a terrible mess today. Don't you understand what a terrible sin it is to dig up the graves of one's ancestors?"
All of a sudden, the five little ones were as if they were under a binding spell, and could not move their feet any further. Their hearts are full of regret and helplessness, whoo... My mother found out what they were up to.
"Don't hurry in." Huo Bingbing's cool voice sounded for the third time, this time with a tone of irresistible command.
Feng gently patted Huo Dong's head with her wings and persuaded him in a high-pitched voice: "Masters, don't make unnecessary struggles, Feng advised you, or go in and be punished!" In Phoenix's view, these small masters are really naive and naive, trying to escape in front of the ancestors. They don't seem to really realize the power of their ancestors. Who are the ancestors? She only needs to glance at a person, with its extraordinary ability to calculate everything he has done in his past life, know his origin and life, even his ancestors 18 generations can be counted clearly. From the moment they entered the house, the ancestors knew all their thoughts and intentions.
Huo Dong heart understand that there is no retreat at this moment, can only reluctantly turn around, with his brother and sister slowly walked in.
In the room, Huo Bingbing was wearing a dress as white as snow. The material of the dress was soft and elegant, and it swayed slightly with her movements, which better matched her beautiful face and elegant temperament. She is like a figure from the painting out of the fairy, quietly sitting on the cane chair, holding a ruler in her hand, eyes lightly swept over a few little people, softly said: "You give me kneel."
Not daring to defy the slightest, the five little ones obediently knelt down in front of her. There was a hint of fear in their eyes, but more of a sense of guilt over their wrongdoings.
Huo glanced at them and said in a calm but unmistakable voice, "Put out your hand."
'Oh! A few little guys know that the next is about to face the ruler's whipping, but they also dare not have the slightest resistance, can only obediently reach out, the small hand slightly trembling, as if swaying leaves in the wind.
Ms. Huo raised her ruler slightly and made an arc in the air before landing heavily on their palms. One, two, three... She gave each of them twenty strokes of the palm, each with full force, until their palms swelled high and red, and slowly spared them.
"The next time you offend, double the punishment. Do you all remember that?" Huo Bingbing looked at them, her eyes revealed a hint of severity, she hoped that through this punishment, they can really realize their mistakes, from now on.
