He Luyi was extremely excited and happy to be able to go out for a walk. She kept pointing with her little finger, directing her brother which direction to go.
I am already familiar with the surrounding environment. After all, my father and grandfather have taken me there countless times. I still enjoy the familiar environment.
"Ahhh~ah!" This way, this way, go to the back, gee, gee~
He Luyi was jumping around happily, unable to stop being excited.
"Don't move, don't move, I can't hold you anymore!" He Ming is still a child after all. Although he has some strength, he can't withstand He Luyi's constant bouncing.
"Ah~" Oh, okay, I won't move. I'll be a good boy.
He Luyi saw her brother's difficulties and knew that he could not bear the weight of her brother, so she immediately calmed down.
"Okay, which way do you want to go?" He Ming knew that although his sister was naughty, she could understand what the family said.
"Ah~ah" Fat He Lyuyi pointed to the road on the left side of the gate, walked up from the left, bypassed the bamboo forest behind the house, and kept walking along the overgrown path. The path on the back mountain was winding and there were many wild flowers and weeds along the way. It was midsummer, and there were prickly grass and leucophyllum scattered around, and there were many thorny rose-like flowers. However, unlike roses, this flower was very small, not as gorgeous and flamboyant as roses, and the bright red color was not so fascinating.
It is reserved and modest, pink and tender, with five or six branches growing from one trunk, either close to each other or blooming alone.
Although it is not as beautiful as a rose, it has its own unique beauty, like a beautiful girl next door.
Maybe it is afraid of being broken by others, so the small thorns on the branches are its protective color.
There are many more, big, small, tall, short, coexisting in harmony. Its beauty is waiting for a confidant to understand it. There is nothing better than meeting a soulmate in the mountains and rivers.
And these... are not the key points at all. He Luyi's goal is: to hunt pheasants.
He Ming didn't dare to stay with his sister for too long, otherwise when the elders in the family came back and saw that no one was at home, they would definitely get beaten.
"Little sister, let's go back, okay?" He Ming was completely confused. Why was she so excited to see some grass and flowers? Isn't this very common? They are everywhere!
"Ah~" No reply, wait a little longer.
He Luyi shook her head to refuse.
"Ah, but grandpa and grandma will be back soon, and so will mom and dad. Don't you miss your parents?" He Ming said. He had been out for a while and wanted to go back.
"Ah~ah~" Okay, he nodded, but he was obviously wilted and most of his energy was gone.
Just when He Ming was about to turn around and leave, an accident happened. A pheasant flew by. It was unclear whether to say that it was unlucky or that He Luyi was lucky. The pheasant he had been thinking about just... came?
With a "bang", it hit the tree trunk next to He Ming heavily, and fell directly to the ground with a "pa" sound, just in front of He Ming.
"This... a pheasant falling from the sky?" He Ming suddenly felt it was fantastical. Pheasants... were all so stupid? But why had he never caught one after running to the back mountain so many times?
No matter how surprised he was, he would rather take advantage of a bargain than not. No matter how it came about, He Ming only knew one thing: there was chicken to eat today, so he took the risk of being beaten and took his sister out to have some fun, and then he swept it all away with trepidation.
The only thought in my mind was "There's chicken to eat! There's chicken to eat!"
There was no other way. Although the family raised chickens, ducks, and even geese, they were all kept for laying eggs. When they accumulated to a certain number, they were brought to the county town and sold at the market, which brought in some income.
The number of times he could eat chicken at home was very limited. He Ming had been craving it for a long time. He almost forgot when he last ate chicken. Was it when his little sister was one month old? Or was it some other time? He couldn't remember. You can imagine how much he craved meat!
He Luyi is better than He Ming. Although there is a patriarchal mentality in her family, fortunately, it is not so serious for He Luyi. On the contrary, the bad-tempered old He is quite good to his granddaughter. Every now and then, he asks his wife to steam an egg custard to satisfy her craving.
Therefore, no matter how greedy he is, he is much better than his cousin He Ming. Although the "youngest son, eldest grandson, lifeblood of mother-in-law" is somewhat reflected in He Ming, it is really not much. Old He is not partial to him. The biased old lady He may care more about him, but it is definitely not as important as farm work in the fields.
Anyway, what a strange family. They favored boys over girls, and my cousin was the most affected. He Lvyi didn't feel anything at all. In fact, relatively speaking, in a sense, she was the most favored one.
He Ming, whose eyes lit up when he saw the pheasant, was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do. Both his hands were used to hug his sister and he had no extra hands. What should he do?
He Ming didn't dare go back to call the adults, worried that if someone suddenly came up the mountain and took it away, what would happen?
He Luyi looked at her cousin with a twisted expression, and probably guessed what he was thinking. He Luyi didn't know what to do for the time being. After all, she really didn't have the ability.
Even if their abilities allow, reality doesn't allow it. Who has ever seen a six-month-old child lift several kilograms of things with their bare hands? That's not just shocking, it's abnormal!
After much thought, He Lvyi came up with a dirty trick. But how should he communicate with his brother? The two of them were talking incoherently, like talking to a deaf person, or playing the lute to a cow!
Forget it, He Luyi gave up and saw what her brother would do! Hey, you know what, the kids who often go out to play are really capable.
He Ming thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Since he couldn't take it away, he couldn't just hide it first. He sent his younger sister back, then asked his elder sister to come back and watch it first, and then he would go up the mountain to get the pheasant.
Is there any other way? He Ming's brain is limited after all. In his 8-year-old life, this is the last resort.
Once you've made up your mind, just do it. Put He Luyi aside first and sit against the tree. Don't think too much about your clothes when they get dirty. Just wash them.
"Sister, I'll find a place to hide the chicken first. I'll come back to get it after I send you home." After placing He Luyi aside, He Ming hurriedly looked for a place to hide something.
After looking around, I finally saw a small hole on a low hill not far away. There were dense weeds growing around it. If you didn't look closely, you couldn't see it.
"Hey, that's you! I'm so smart." He Ming couldn't help but feel complacent. Coming up with such a good idea was really great! Holding the pheasant, he walked over there, busying himself, trying to make it look natural and without any traces of human intervention, so that even someone wouldn't notice it for a while.
"Hehehe, we have chicken to eat tonight, but you have to put more potatoes in the meal, it tastes amazing!" He Ming, who had made enough promises for himself, thought that it was almost time, so he quickly took He Luyi back, hurriedly called his elder sister back to look after them, and turned around and ran to the back mountain to get the chicken.
Of course, he also did not forget to take a small backpack and pretend to be picking grass for pigs to cover it up. He had to be a little careful, eat delicious food quietly, and make a fortune quietly.
