Listening to Tiger and the others snoring, Chu Wu was restless and anxious. What if he couldn't find Lao Liu by tomorrow?
Those are my own brothers.
But they had almost climbed the mountain and dug three feet into the ground, yet they still couldn't find it.
It was as if they had vanished into thin air.
Where did the person go?
I got up on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year to check on the staff and, incidentally, let off some gas after holding it in all night.
Tiger, who was standing shoulder to shoulder with him while relieving himself, asked worriedly,
"Fifth Brother, what should we do? If we don't find Sixth Brother, Grandpa will definitely be worried."
"Sixth Brother is Grandpa's only grandson."
Just as I was about to offer some words of comfort on the fifth day, I suddenly felt a gust of wind coming.
It feels like someone has ripped out a tiger's heart.
He instinctively grabbed the wrist of the person who was attacking him.
He was about to pull her forward into his arms and then throw her over his shoulder.
Little did he know that the person who came was already on his shoulder.
But for some reason, I couldn't lift the other person; it felt like they weighed a ton.
A large hand gripped his throat tightly.
Chu Wu was shocked; this person's technique was extremely skillful, and it was clear that he had practiced.
Just as they were about to continue fighting, they unexpectedly heard a strange voice say in their ear.
"Don't move, I'm here to deliver a message."
"What message should we send?"
"Old Six asked me to deliver a message to you."
The fifth day of the Lunar New Year was shocking.
The struggle instantly weakened.
"Who are you?"
"Don't worry, I'm definitely not here to harm you. If I were here to harm you, I wouldn't have sent you this message."
I've given you the letter; read it yourself.
I need to hurry back, in case I'm not there.
That could be fatal.
On the fifth day, he suddenly grabbed the other person's arm with a backhand and pinned him to the ground.
The moment the other person looked up, they saw Old Liu's face in the moonlight.
"Old Liu?"
Old Liu couldn't help but chuckle.
"You're pretty good, kid. You're really skilled. No wonder Lao Liu said we'd be saved once you arrived."
"Why is it you?"
Why can't it be me?
I was arrested too; I didn't take this opportunity to escape and deliver this message to you.
Now that the message has been delivered to you, seeing me should give you even more confidence.
Okay, I can't say any more. The checks over there are strict. I only managed to sneak out by making an excuse.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, they let go of Lao Liu, who rubbed his shoulder.
"Alright, the message has already explained it very clearly to you. You should know what's going on."
"Thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, we would probably have been wiped out."
Just as Old Liu finished speaking, he heard the sound of birds taking flight in the distance.
Just then, Tiger's voice was heard.
"Fifth day of the lunar month, fifth day of the lunar month, where did you go?"
Old Liu disappeared into the jungle in an instant.
On the fifth day of the lunar month, while pretending to fiddle with his belt, he stuffed the letter in his hand into his pocket.
"Tiger and I went out to take a shower, why are you up?"
Tiger Brother cautiously looked me up and down and saw that I looked like this on the fifth day of the lunar month. Sure enough, I had just finished relieving myself, especially with Tiger next to me.
"I'm going to release the water too, so let's go back and get some sleep. I'll send people to patrol the night."
On the fifth day, I agreed and quickly returned to my room.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, he turned his back and opened the letter.
After Tiger finished relieving himself of the water, he suddenly heard a strange bird call.
The moment he heard the birdsong, he cupped his hands to his mouth.
The silent woods were filled with the calls of different birds, rising and falling in waves.
Tiger came back and knocked on the window of the fifth day of the lunar new year.
"Fifth day of the lunar month, are you asleep?"
If you're not asleep, I'm hungry. Let's get some late-night snacks.
"The brothers have been working hard, so let's make sure the ones on night watch have something to eat for the past few days."
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, he rubbed his eyes, yawned, and walked out.
"What should we eat? We've almost finished the dry rations we brought."
How come there's still enough for a late-night snack?
"Let's make do for now, and if we can collect the goods one more day tomorrow, we can go home."
"You know what, I just hunted two wild animals with my brothers, and while I was taking a break, I saw something flash by in the distant jungle."
Here are a few wild rabbits; let's stir-fry them and they'll make a perfect snack with our drinks.
My brother still has some dry rations; let's share them so we can all have a proper meal tonight. If we can find a place to stay tomorrow, great; if not, we'll head back.
On the fifth day, Chu Wu glanced at the five or six plump wild rabbits, his eyes flickering. There were clearly holes in the rabbits' necks; these were rabbits that could only be killed by shooting.
But there was no gunshot at all.
"Oh, okay, then I'll have everyone gather their things together for a while, and we can all have a late-night snack together."
I also had some strong liquor brought, which will go perfectly with the hare.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, he got a little excited, smacked his lips, and looked like he was craving some wine.
Tiger was surprised.
Why did you bring alcohol with you?
“Bringing alcohol is normal, you know we’re on our way.”
Living outdoors and sleeping in the open, they often have to drink some alcohol to get rid of dampness and cold.
Besides, if you get injured or something, this alcohol can disinfect. Everyone in our village carries alcohol with them when they go out.
This is our own homemade sorghum liquor, brewed by my uncle himself.
The wine I'm carrying now is at least ten years old.
