"Sister, we will make it for you tomorrow."
Lin Shi pulled Lin Shuangxi up and made a promise.
"Don't worry, I'll come to your house to pick it up in a few days."
Jiang Henian smiled and handed the oil-paper bag in his hand to Lin Shuangxi, "Here."
Lin Shuangxi's eyes lit up, but he didn't dare to move.
"Here, it's just a few dollars."
"I've had a falling out with my family and don't have many friends. I can't even give out wedding cakes and candies. Oh, how unlucky! When he comes back and sees there's still so much left, he might not buy me anything next time. Maybe your brother-in-law will kick me out tomorrow..."
Jiang Henian's nonsense scared the Lin brothers and sisters so much that they went home obediently with a small bag of snacks wrapped in oil paper and an egg.
Before leaving, he repeatedly assured me that the food would be delicious and I would eat it all, without wasting any crispy or icing sugar.
Lin Shuangxi became a little bolder and waved to her proactively.
On the other side, in a thorn bush on the back mountain.
He Jinshan was pulling the taut hemp rope in his hand, and suddenly he sneezed several times.
"Hey, brother, you're not catching a cold, are you?"
Chen Erhu, holding a fat gray rabbit with an injured hind leg in his hand, turned around and asked.
"I was saying I should make some ginger soup. The Qingshui River is very cold today. A few days ago, my uncle's pig ran away and fell into the river. It took a long time to fish it out. It didn't survive and was taken to the meat processing plant to be slaughtered early. Oh—ah!"
He was kicked by He Jinshan and almost fell back into the hunting cave.
He would rather drop the rabbit in his hand than let go.
"Wrong, wrong, I'm a bad mouth."
He rubbed his butt, brushed off the dirt, and climbed up with a grin, grinning, "Brother Shan, are you really going to give this rabbit to me?"
Bleaning came from the hunting hole more than a meter deep in front of the two men.
He Jinshantou continued to pull the rope upwards without looking back, "Come work for me tomorrow."
“Okay!!”
A few days ago, Chen Erhu was chased to the back mountain by his mother Ma Guihong to collect firewood. He was impatient and walked around everywhere. He happened to see He Jinshan going up the mountain with a bow, and immediately begged to follow him.
When he saw a wounded musk deer in the hunting cave dug by He Jinshan, his jaw dropped in shock.
Several nearby villages are adjacent to the Wuling Mountains. You can go up the mountain by walking in any direction in the village. Logically, many people should go up the mountain to hunt.
Not to mention hunting a big wild boar, even if you hunt a pheasant or a rabbit, you can give your family some meat to eat.
But in fact, even during the famine ten years ago, few people went up the mountain to hunt, and they just dug wild vegetables and tree roots.
Firstly, the Wuling Mountain is full of dense forests and is unfathomable. There are not only ferocious beasts and poisonous snakes, but also elusive poisonous fog.
A long time ago, many people entered and could not get out, and the villagers have a deep-seated fear and reverence for Wuling Mountain.
Secondly, even on the outer hills facing the village, the animals there are all like spirits, so difficult to catch! Whether it's shooting arrows or digging holes or setting traps, no one will be caught.
After a whole day of fluttering around in the mountains, I only caught a sparrow that was no bigger than a palm. The meat I ate was not enough to make up for the physical strength I had expended that day. Besides, I had to work and go to the fields every day, so where would I find the time and energy?
So, after seeing He Jinshan catch a musk deer and shoot an arrow through the wing of a turtledove, Chen Erhu knelt down.
This is a fucking archer?!
He followed He Jinshan twice and saw that the hunting hole he dug and the noose he set up looked nothing special, but he was able to catch living things.
The original closeness to He Jinshan completely broke through the filter of the "little brother" during their childhood playmates and directly rose to admiration.
Chen Erhu held tightly onto the big fat rabbit tied with vines and followed He Jinshan down the mountain.
"This sheep isn't injured at all. Brother, are you going to sell it, eat it, or keep it?"
"Look at her."
The man carried the sack on one shoulder and walked down as if he were walking on flat ground.
Chen Erhu took a while to react before covering his mouth in shock and looking at He Jinshan's strong and tall back.
Depend on!
Brother Shan, do you mind having another male wife?!
In autumn, the sun sets earlier and earlier.
Looking from halfway up the mountain, the border between the fields and the sky is a brilliant golden color.
Like a scrambled egg yolk.
Chen Erhu raised his head and took a long breath in comfort. Suddenly, his eyes saw the foot of the mountain through the branches and his eyes widened.
"Brother Shan!!! Our house is on fire?!"
…
“Cough cough cough…cough cough!”
Billowing black smoke billowed towards us.
Jiang Henian straightened his back and turned his face away, coughing so hard that his lungs were almost bursting, and still holding a small black branch in his hand.
"Ahem! Ouch... why is there only smoke coming out, ahem..."
On the newly built two-burner stove at the front end of the side wall of the thatched house, there is a large iron pot on the left and an aluminum pot on the right.
Thick black smoke rose along the edges of the two pots, and the two stoves where firewood was added also emitted thick smoke.
Jiang Henian sat on a stone brought from the foot of the mountain behind the house. He bent his arms to cover his face to avoid the smoke, and at the same time, he poked the stove mouth with a wooden stick, trying to ignite the dying sparks.
At first glance, the billowing black smoke looked like a fire in the house.
He Jinshan ran all the way down the mountain and saw such an anxious scene.
He walked over quickly with a sullen face, put his hands under Jiang Henian's armpits, picked her up, turned his back and walked away two steps with her before putting her down.
"Ahem...y-your back!"
Jiang Henian's eyes were almost blocked by the smoke. His face was wrinkled and his eyes were squinted. Tears from the smoke flowed down the red corners of his eyes.
