The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

"Xiaowen, Xiaohua, father and mother are going to your grandmother's house tomorrow, and I will leave the family affairs to you. Also, don't go to the forest all the time, who knows if that big tiger will appear again."

At night in early summer, Zhong Mugen was busy collecting dried tofu on several wooden racks in the house and putting them into two baskets.

The big tiger Zhong Mugen was talking about was the one that attacked the village last year. It appeared again in winter, but luckily it didn't come down to the village.

"Father, Mother, we know."

Zhong Wen and Xiao Hua both opened their mouths at the same time and replied to Zhong Mugen and his wife, this is not the first time they have confessed in this way, every seven or eight days, there will always be one time.

For Zhong Wen and Xiao Hua, the two brothers and sisters are not afraid of mountains and forests for a long time. As long as they are interested in places, they always go to have a look.

The brothers and sisters always hold a long gun in their hands every day. You pick and stab each other and try it out. The strength in your hands increases, the speed of running increases, and your endurance increases, so that the two brothers and sisters can't finish using it every day. strength and energy.

In the eyes of the brothers and sisters, the mountain forest is also the place where they play or catch hares. Of course, there are also places where some wild fruits come from.

Of course, they wouldn't go deeper in the forest. Apart from the difficulty of walking, they were also a little worried. After all, the roaring sounds in winter still lingered in the ears of their brothers and sisters.

As for whether there are other large beasts in the forest, there must be some, but they are not common, and they are encountered occasionally.

Such as wild boars, wild wolves, cheetahs, etc., will appear occasionally. However, wild boars will appear once every few days. As long as you don’t mess with them, you don’t have to worry about them. You can know the movement hundreds of meters away.

Chapter 43 Raising a Big Bird

In the early morning of the second day, Zhong Mugen and his wife carried their burdens and went out to the mountains, leaving Zhong Wen and his brother and sister at home again to guard them.

"Brother, I will fight you for three hundred rounds."

Not long after Zhong Mu and his wife left, Xiao Hua held her spear in her hand and yelled at Zhong Wen that there would be a big fight for [-] rounds.

"Okay, today is as you wish, I will fight you for three hundred rounds, and I will beat you to the ground."

Zhong Wen, who was pulling nondescript words, picked up his long gun from not far away, held the gun in one hand, and pointed at Xiao Hua with the other, looking like a little general, and shouted loudly.

"I stab, I sweep."

Xiao Hua brandished her long spear and stabbed at Zhong Wen, not forgetting to shout a few words.

"Little girl, it's still this kind of move, look at my spear."

Not to be outdone, Zhong Wen stabbed Xiao Hua to the left with a gun, and then swept Xiao Hua to the ground.

"Hmph, brother, you bully people, every time."

Xiaohua quit, always felt that the spear in Zhong Wen's hand was longer than hers, and she couldn't stab it no matter what, and was always thrown to the ground by her brother.

"Okay, stop playing, let's go to the wilderness to see if there are any wild rabbits, take your long gun, and today we will cook them as roasted rabbits."

Zhong Wen walked over, pulled Xiao Hua up, and then raised his legs and walked towards the wilderness.

In today's wilderness, after less than half a year of storage, Zhong Wen once again set his hands on this wilderness in the afternoon of the day before yesterday. In this wilderness, a lot of slings have been arranged.

After Zhong Wen's observation, in fact, there are quite a few hares in this wilderness. As for how many there are, it can only be described in one sentence, but it is innumerable.

Zhong Wen really can't count, there are too many hares, who would take the time to count, as long as there are quite a few.

"Brother, there is movement."

Xiaohua held her spear in her hand, and she heard the sound of animals running not far away, and called out to Zhong Wen.

"There must be some movement, let's go, first go to the condom to have a look."

Zhong Wen didn't doubt that he was there, and started beating and beating with a spear in his hand, walking towards the sling not far away.

After the trip, Zhong Wen carried six hares on his spear. It seemed that the past two days had been settled, at least saving the rabbits at home.

"Brother, give me two, and I can pick them."

Xiaohua looked at Zhong Wenkang's long spear on his shoulder, with six hares on it, thinking of helping her brother to share some weight, even a little bit.

"Forget it, there are only six hares, and they are not heavy. You go get some wild vegetables later, and I will clean up the hares."

While walking, he told Xiao Hua behind him, anyway, brother and sister are like this every day, and there is no need to stop Xiao Hua from working because Xiao Hua is too young, otherwise Xiao Hua will be unhappy.

"Okay, brother."

After hearing this, Xiaohua took her spear and left, went to the side, and began to use her spear to dig up wild vegetables. These wild vegetables were also taught to her by Zhong Wenping, so she naturally knew which ones were edible and which ones were used for drying. Well.

Breakfast is stuffed hare meat. Because of time constraints, I gave up calling roasted rabbits and didn't cook. Although it is simple, it makes the brothers and sisters have a good taste.

Every time, whenever Zhong Mugen and his wife left home to go to their grandmother's house, the Zhong Wen brothers and sisters must be like this, and occasionally they would get some grilled fish to eat.

"Brother, when I went to collect firewood two days ago, I saw a big bird flying in and out of a tree. Brother, let's go and have a look after breakfast."

Xiao Hua held the bowl and ate the stuffed rabbit meat in big mouthfuls, but she began to think about the big bird she saw two days ago.

"Okay, after we finish eating, let's go and have a look."

Zhong Wen didn't care too much. There are many big trees here, even more big birds, and there are also many eagles. Some eagles spread their wings three to five meters wide, so it's not surprising.

Maybe it's because this side belongs to the forest and there are many big trees, so there are so many big birds. Zhong Wen often sees many eagles circling in the sky.

Of course, Zhong Wen didn't catch it, mainly because he didn't catch it. The tree is too big and too high to climb. On the one hand, he is more likely to be attacked, so the gain outweighs the loss.

Not long after the meal, the brothers and sisters closed the door of their house and walked towards the place where Xiao Hua found Big Bird.

Two quarters of an hour later, I came to the bottom of the big tree. In fact, this tree is just a big pine tree. The diameter of the tree is more than one meter, and the height is estimated to be about thirty meters high.

For Zhong Wen, although he could climb up, he had to investigate first before making a decision. If there were no so-called big birds or cubs, Zhong Wen would not have climbed directly to dig out the bird's nest.

Unleashing his consciousness, he came to the top of the tree fork more than 20 meters high, but found that there were three young birds lying in the bird's nest above the tree fork, estimated to be less than ten days old. Zhong Wen didn't know what kind of young birds they were. , only after their parents come back will it be possible to know what kind of birds they are. However, this young bird has grown as big as a chicken just after it hatched, and it seems that the adult bird is definitely not small .

"Xiaohua, I'll go up first and catch a few baby birds to raise. Maybe they can be raised by then, so we can catch wild rabbits for our family."

Zhong Wen withdrew his consciousness, and after speaking to the little girl beside him, he began to hug the tree trunk and climb up with all his strength.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Zhong Wen returned to the tree and took out two young birds from his arms.

"Brother, is it so big? How do you raise it?"

Seeing the two young birds in Zhong Wen's hands, Xiao Hua couldn't see them. They looked big, but they hadn't grown any fur yet. She didn't know how to raise them if she wanted to, not to mention, she had never raised birds before. Yes, this bird doesn't know what to eat. Although it is a baby bird, it is definitely a big baby bird.

"Little sister, let's go home first, let's try raising it first."

Zhong Wen was worried that he had caught two young birds, and that the parents of the young birds would attack the two of them when they came back, so it was better to leave as soon as possible.

Afterwards, the two brothers and sisters walked home, holding two young birds who didn't know what they were. It didn't mean that Zhong Wen didn't want to have a one-pot meal, but if it was really going to be a one-pot meal, then these two big birds must have Crazy, or maybe tweet every day.

Only catch two, so as to leave a seed for others. Besides, it's hard to say whether I can support myself or not, but I think I can support it. Zhong Wen can only comfort himself like this.

And those two young birds, if they knew that their fate would be handed over to the little kid in front of them, they would be so angry that they would end their lives on the spot.

After returning home, Zhong Wen began to make a bird's nest for the two young birds, so that they could have a place to live. As for what to eat, you have to observe what their parents feed them every day. .

"Little sister, you stay at home for a while. I'll go and see if the two big birds are back. I have to see what the big birds are feeding the young ones, so that I can feed them."

Zhong Wen handed the bird's nest to Xiao Hua, and asked her to watch the house at home, but he went to the big tree again, but he didn't go far, and chose a place to sit for a while.

Letting out his consciousness, he stopped at the bird's nest to see what happened next.

Half a quarter of an hour later, a huge bird flew over. Zhong Wen didn't know what this big bird was called, because it was so big that Zhong Wen couldn't describe it. Looking at the big bird standing on the branch, everyone felt Nearly one meter high, with a mouse in its mouth, it walked to the edge of the nest, tore it up and fed it to the remaining young bird.

After Zhong Wen looked at it, he was sure that the young bird was eating meat, so it would be much easier. Then, in the next time, as long as he feeds some meat, he believes that he can also feed the big ones.

But when Zhong Wen was still thinking about the young bird, the big bird suddenly sang. The sound was indeed a bit like that of an eagle, and the appearance was [-] to [-]% similar.

Zhong Wen withdrew his consciousness, then left and walked home, he caught two of his cubs, he should vent his anger, if this big bird found out his existence, Zhong Wen was sure that he would never be able to handle this big bird Well, that person really has a sharp mouth and sharp claws. If you really want to slap yourself, it must be a big blood hole.

"Brother, do you know what this bird eats?"

Seeing Zhong Wen come back, Xiao Hua hurriedly asked, but her eyes turned back to the bird's nest on the ground.

"I know, these birds eat meat, but I have to give them a small piece, but I think they must also eat bugs. You can catch some bugs and feed them. As long as they have meat, they will definitely eat them."

Zhong Wen approached, looked at the two young birds in the nest, and began to expect them to grow up quickly, just like their parents. If so, the two young birds would grow up I got up, and there must be more hares in the house.

The poor two young birds have so many fates. They left their parents when they were young, and when they grow up, they have to be exploited by this little kid in front of them. How much blood and tears their birds have had in their lives.

But at this time, on the other side of the big tree, two huge birds were circling in the sky, and their chirping sound seemed to break through the sky. Zhong Wen heard the chirping sound and knew that they must be calling the two people in front of him. only cubs.

Zhong Wen believes that after only a few days, the singing of this big bird will disappear. The instinct of animals is like this. If they can’t find their cubs within a few days, they will definitely give up and continue their predation. with the remaining young bird.

In the afternoon, two small figures ran around in the paddy field. If they didn't know it, they thought Zhong Wen and his sister were playing.

But the brothers and sisters were busy catching bugs and frogs, even the small fish in the ditch.

"Brother, we caught so many, let's go back."

Xiaohua looked at the insects, frogs and fish in the small basket, at least enough for the two young birds to eat for a day.

"Okay, let's go back, I guess they are all starving now."

Zhong Wen carried the basket and walked home with the little flowers, while the two young birds at home were opening their mouths wide, waiting for their parents to feed them. It had been a long time since their parents came to feed them.

"Come, eat, I'll give you a locust to eat, and a small fish to eat."

Xiao Hua grabbed locusts and small fish from the basket and fed them one by one, while Zhong Wen watched from the side.

"Brother, look, they must be very hungry. If you feed one, they will eat it immediately."

Xiao Hua, who was being fed food, looked at the eating of the two young birds, and shouted to Zhong Wen who was on the side.

Zhong Wen didn't speak, and looked at the two young birds quietly, but at this moment, he was searching for the name of the bird in his mind.

After a long time, Xiao Hua finally fed the two young birds to their full, but Zhong Wen did not find the species name of this bird from his memory.

Maybe Zhong Wen has never seen it, maybe it was extinct in the previous life, who knows?Moreover, in Zhong Wen's previous life, he had rarely seen this kind of large eagle-like bird, and at most he only learned about it from the animal world.

"Little sister, this bird's nest will have to be put in the house in the future. I saw their parents just now. It's a big one. If their parents knew that we had caught their baby bird back, they would definitely not Let us go, so we have to be more careful in the future."

After looking at the two young birds, I heard the chirping of two big birds.

"Brother, didn't you say you want them to bask in the sun?"

Xiaohua didn't understand her brother's words, she said she should bask in the sun, and put it in the house, she didn't know what to do.

"You can't bask in the sun all the time, just take it out once in a while and put it in the house first."

Zhong Wen was actually afraid that the two big birds would discover the existence of the young bird. If they were discovered, how could his brother and sister be able to resist, not even adults.

The eagle's sharp claws and sharp beak are really no joke. If you really want to have a grudge, this thing will always follow you, and it will be very annoying.

After hearing Zhong Wen's words, Xiao Hua carried the bird's nest into the house and placed it near the door so that she could carry it out later.

Before the evening of the second day, Zhong Wen took Xiao Hua to the small road to wait for his parents to come back. Every time Zhong Mugen and his wife left home to go to the second village or the city, Zhong Wen would take Xiao Hua to the small road to wait. .

With the experience of selling hare fur a year ago, Zhong Wen would be somewhat worried, otherwise, his father would not have gone to the city to sell dried tofu and encountered trouble, so he would have gone to seek advice from Li Daochang in the temple.

This favor has been owed for a long time, and Zhong Wen doesn't know how to repay it, and he will definitely not be able to repay it with money. It is only reasonable to repay a favor with a favor.

After two or three quarters of an hour, Zhong Mugen and his wife appeared at the end of the small road in the distance, but they were followed by two people, which made Zhong Wen a little curious.

Could it be that my uncle came over?Zhong Wen remembered that his uncle and the others only came here during the New Year's Eve, and rarely came during the farming season.

Although it is not the busy farming season right now, the farmland needs to be taken care of, just like the people in the village, everyone has to go to the field to weed.

"Brother, it's uncle and cousin."

Xiaohua saw the four people walking slowly, and after realizing that the two behind her parents were her uncle and his son, she yelled at Zhong Wen.

"Well, I see it."

Zhong Wen had indeed seen that the people who came were his uncle Xu Lisheng and his cousin Xu Shuangma.

Chapter 44 Revenge

"Xiaowen, Xiaohua, why are you waiting for us again? Come here quickly, I have seen your uncle and Shuangma."

Xiu came over with a burden on her back and started talking to Zhong Wen and his sister.

"Hello uncle, hello Shuang Ma, and cousin."

The Zhong Wen brothers and sisters hurriedly greeted Xu Lisheng and Xu Shuangma, but Xu Lisheng was carrying a load of soybeans at this time, and Shuangma was empty-handed.

"Xiaowen and Xiaohua have grown so big, Shuangma, hurry up and say hello to your cousin."

Xu Lisheng put down his burden, and pulled out the double hemp behind him.

"Hello, cousin, hello, cousin."

Xu Shuangma didn't seem strange at all, after all, he also came here during the New Year's Eve last year, and he was familiar with the Zhong Wen brothers and sisters.

"Let's go home first."
