The little guy who was playing with the grass mantis raised his head: "Mom..."
"Xiuyan!!! Come home soon!!!" the female voice was still calling.
"Mom, I'm here!!!" Li Xiuyan took two steps towards the voice.
Lin Su stood up and said, "Tangtang, see you next time."
The little guy didn't understand what was going on, but his attention was attracted by his mother's calling again. Lin Su picked up the sweet potatoes that the children had found from somewhere, turned around and walked around the wall.
It’s not so easy to deal with those children today. It’s better not to cause trouble to these orphans and their widowed mother.
Li Xiujian had not walked a few steps when a woman wearing a floral jacket and an apron wrapped around her waist came from the other side of the dirt road. Compared with the tanned women in the village, her skin was relatively white. Even though her clothes were patched, they were very clean. Such simple clothes did not hide her beautiful eyebrows and eyes.
The little one's eyebrows and eyes are 50% like her, and the other 5% may be inherited from his father, who specially picked out the good features.
But everyone living in this village knows that Li Xiujian's father ran away.
Hu Zi also vaguely remembered that he had overheard the adults gossiping. When the educated youth went to the countryside, Li Xiujian's father fell in love with Li Aihong, the most beautiful girl in the village.
What those people said was so mysterious that no one knew which one was true and which one was false. All they knew was that the man had stayed here for a few years and had lived in Li Aihong's house. Later, when he returned to the countryside, Li Aihong became pregnant with Li Xiujian not long after. Although the era of arresting people had passed, this kind of behavior of not knowing who the man was would still be criticized behind people's backs.
Harsh words can hurt like a cold summer wind. Those children are only half grown up, and they have no idea what happened in the past. They can say those things, and they must have been taught by those who gossip behind their backs.
It is true that poor and remote areas produce unruly people. However, we are not yet at the stage of universal education, and this undisciplined state is simply impossible to control.
"Mom!" Li Xiuyan was picked up by the woman.
"Why are you here? Did those kids bully you again? Didn't you tell me not to run around and stay at home? I was so busy that I didn't realize you were missing. I must have been worried." Li Aihong hugged him and wiped his little face.
The woman looked a little thin, but her arms were very strong, and her rough hands showed that she often did housework.
"Brother..." Li Xiuyan turned around and pointed. When he didn't see Lin Su, he was a little confused. "Brother Huzi is lying on the ground. Where is he?"
"Okay, go home and don't run around anymore." Li Aihong hugged him and turned around and said, "Where's the nest I gave you?"
"Brother Hu Zi has eaten it." Li Xiujian answered her question in a soft voice.
"Next time, eat by yourself and don't play with him." Li Aihong sighed.
"Brother Huzi drove away the bad guys and gave me this." The little guy held the grass mantis gently, obviously liking it very much.
Li Aihong sighed again and said, "...He's also a pitiful person."
"Mom?" Li Xiuyan was a little confused.
"It's okay, let's go home." Li Aihong said.
The little guy was carried away, and Lin Su walked towards the woods with the sweet potatoes in his arms.
In order to survive in place of the original body, the first thing to solve is the problem of food and clothing. Now it is the time for autumn harvest, and the autumn heat has not yet passed. We can still wear such thin clothes that expose our arms and legs. When this heat passes and the weather gets cold, there will be thick snow here in winter. If we still can't solve the problem of clothes by then, I'm afraid we will freeze to death.
Lin Su cleared a piece of space in the woods, then piled dry leaves and branches together, lit a fire, and threw a few sweet potatoes in.
A small steamed bun was not enough to fill his stomach. The flame burned slowly. Lin Su added firewood into it. He waited for the fire to go out, simmered it for a while, and then took out the sweet potatoes from the fire.
There are no later varieties, but this kind of sweet potato with white flesh is very sweet and delicious. In the era of food shortage, food that can fill the stomach is good food.
Lin Su ate two of them, and then wrapped the rest in leaves and took them with him after it cooled down.
Farming can provide enough food these days, and Hu Zi does have land. It was his parents' land and the land he was given when he was born. However, he was only five or six years old when his parents died, and everything they left behind was taken away by his uncle's family. The land was also cultivated by that family. Hu Zi could probably get it back when he came of age, but relatives were sometimes not as good as neighbors. He didn't even wait until he came of age and was starved to death on the roadside.
It’s not like people didn’t starve to death in previous years, but in recent years such behavior can only be intentional.
What can a seven or eight-year-old child do? Soon his uncles and aunts will find out.
The original person was able to swallow his anger even though he was about to lose his life because he was still a child and was naturally afraid of adults. But he was not like that. If he took the money and didn't do the job, he would have to spit out what he had swallowed.
When Lin Su stood up, a few feathers and a drop of bird droppings fell from the tree and landed right in front of him. If he hadn't stood up quickly, they would have fallen directly on his head.
He looked up at the bird's nest on the very high tree, and his eyes lit up.
At this time, they still don't care about protecting animals. If they offend him, it will be unfortunate for the whole family.
Lin Su climbed the tree very quickly. This height, which was too high for an ordinary child, was not a problem for him at all. There were six bird eggs in a nest, and Lin Su touched five.
Faced with the attack of a pair of bird parents, he caught one of them, tied its legs and took it away.
[Host, this is truly tempting... and cruel.] 06 said.
Before the little bird even hatches, it faces a crisis of family destruction, such as separation from wife and children.
[Mm, it tastes good.] Lin Su plucked the bird, roasted it, and ate it straight away.
There is not much meat on a bird, but for a body that has not tasted meat for a long time, it is a real delicacy.
Lin Su did not touch the remaining eggs, but put them in his arms and walked out of the forest towards the village.
People passing by working in the fields would just glance at him, pick up their hoes and walk away. Only the shepherds would come over with whips cracking and ask him, "Where have you been?"
"I'm going to collect bird eggs." Lin Su looked at the sheep that were nibbling grass and dropping dung balls along the way and said, "Uncle Qian, you've raised these sheep really well."
"Of course not. We have to get up early and stay up late every day to make them graze. If they eat the seedlings, we'll have to pay for it." Uncle Qian whipped the sheep and untied a water bottle from his waist. "Would you like to try something good?"
Lin Su was a little confused: "What?"
"Come on, open your mouth." Lin Su smelled something when Uncle Qian turned the kettle.
A mouthful of goat milk poured into my mouth. It had a slightly fishy taste, but at the same time it was very mellow and tasted quite good.
