The He Family Brother of Farming

into the mountains again

After playing by the water for more than an hour, everyone began to pack their things and prepare to go home.

Fishing is purely a matter of personal luck. Some bamboo tubes have quite a lot of harvest, while others have only a few scattered ones, but it’s better than returning empty-handed, right?

The youngest of these children is Huzi, but regardless of the smallness of the family, the harvest is pretty good, not to mention the excited look that he is carrying a bamboo tube.

The brothers and sisters of the Ye family are also good. There are nearly twenty fish and shrimps, although they are all small fish and shrimps, but they will have a delicious meal when they bring them home and ask their mother to fry them.

The one who gained the least was He He, who taught everyone, only three or four, which can be said to be really bad, but who told him to fall asleep halfway.

Ye Linhetian was here to see people, so he didn't catch many.

After a few more days like this, the other children were still in high spirits, and even attracted the attention of children under the age of 13 in the whole village. There's always going to be a lot of fun.

However, He He felt a little bored. He played the same game every day, and he lost his interest after a while.

Then he turned his attention to the mountain again. Now is the season when all things are ripe. He has no part to climb trees and pick fruits, but he can also follow along to join in the fun, right?

The fruits are ripe, and the animals in the mountains are also preparing for the winter. It is the time when they grow fat. In the past, Ye Cheng would often go to the mountains at this time, but this year, because he is fishing and selling fish with his family, he has not yet into the mountains.

It's also hunting, but obviously fishing is more deeply in Li Ran's heart, at least he doesn't have to worry so much about his man's safety.

But now there is no need to spend the night outside, as long as you put the bait in the evening, you can come back. If you can’t change the bait all the time, you can choose a few more bamboo baskets, and the harvest will not be too bad. It’s just the weather. As it gets colder, not so many fish come out, and the family has to prepare for the work in the field.

One day, when the children came to He Er's house as usual, He He said that he would not go fishing anymore, and everyone should go by themselves. Although the children who were still interested were a little disappointed, it was not necessary for him to go before everyone could go, anyway. It’s fine if you don’t have to be alone, so they said goodbye one after another and left with the fishing rod on their backs.

Since He He didn't want to go, then He Tian definitely wanted to accompany his younger brother. Although Ye Sen still wanted to go, but it seemed that neither of them would go, and his brother didn't say he would go, so he had to stay with him.

Now he basically rarely goes to play with other children in the village by himself, except for occasionally going wild with him when he is tortured by the tiger.

Zhang Xiaoxi was basically what He He said, so he would basically be ignored. Fortunately, he himself got used to it and followed everyone silently.

"Now there should be a lot of fruit on the mountain, right?"

When the family quieted down again, He He suggested that he saw that there were only 'his own people'.

His brother immediately cast a disapproving glance at him, "Don't think about it, your body is not in good shape, and your parents will definitely not agree."

"That's why I have to go now. Brother, don't worry, I will never climb a tree, just wait for you to pick it for me to eat under the tree, okay?"

In fact, his goal is still the animals in the mountains, meat! In order to nourish his body, the family now almost has fish soup, and crucian carp and catfish come to him in turn to drink.

Although fish is also meat, given the current situation of their family, it is already good to have fish every day, and he really shouldn't think about other things.But he still wanted to change his taste. He would drink fish soup until his eyes turned green. It would be great if there was pheasant.

It's a pity, just thinking about it, he doesn't have that ability for hunting... That's right, who stipulated that hunting must have the skills of shooting and arrows, can't they still dig traps!

"Brother, go, just go for a while, I promise I won't run around."

He Tian was still a little embarrassed, but suddenly his eyes lit up to his younger brother, and now he looked like he was begging, and he knew that going to the mountains was inevitable.

He also discovered that since his younger brother recovered from his illness, he has not only become a lot smarter, but also has become a little more stubborn in some places, for example, when he wants to do something, he can't persuade him.

"Actually, it's not bad to go up the mountain now," Ye Lin said slowly, knowing his friend's worry, "There are a lot of those pheasants and hares. If we're lucky, we can catch one of them to make Xiaohe healthy."

Hearing this, He Tian was also moved. There is only one old hen in the house, maybe it is really old enough, and it lays fewer eggs now.

Now the eggs my younger brother eats are still exchanged with the villagers.

But he still asked a little uneasy: "Are you sure?"

"You can try." Ye Lin nodded, "We don't go too far, just go to the place where we got the eggs before."

In the end, He Tian was finally persuaded. Now that he had passed everything, it was still early, so everyone followed He He's wishes and went to the mountains today.

Bring a hatchet and a hoe, and a basket is a must. He He thinks it is better to weave a back basket next time, because it is very inconvenient to carry the basket up and down the mountain.

Passing by Ye's house, Ye Lin also went in to get the bow and arrow he made in his spare time, which aroused the eyes of others. He also generously showed the bow to everyone, and said very modestly: "It's not good, I can't do it without me." Dad's one is amazing."

He He also took it to look at it. I don’t know what kind of tree the bow is made of. It’s quite heavy to hold. Anyway, the village is surrounded by mountains and there are the most trees. He doesn’t know all the species, but the arc looks very It is beautiful, and it looks very standard when you look at it. The bow string is also a kind of animal tendon. I tried to pull it, and the elasticity is good.

He He didn't know much about this, but felt that at Ye Lin's age, he could make it by himself, and the handwork was quite good.

Thinking of a certain popular TV series in his previous life, he posed in a classic pose out of curiosity, but unfortunately he could only draw a small part of the bow with all his strength, let alone fully draw the bow.

Ye Lin was afraid that he would be injured by the rebound, so he quickly took the bow and asked him to let go slowly. He He had also seen some novels that said that if the bow and arrow were suddenly retracted, he would be injured instead, so he did not try to be brave and let the other party take over. After letting go, I felt that my arms were so sore.

Fortunately, no one laughed at him. Now he is recognized as the weakest in the village. Even a four-year-old Huzi is probably stronger than him.

When everyone satisfied their curiosity, they entered the mountain together.

From a distance, it is still full of green, but when I walked in, I found that some of the ground had already been covered with a layer of yellow leaves. It had rained a few times before, and it was still a little wet when I stepped on it, but it was within an acceptable range, unlike the deep mountains. There is a thick layer of rotting leaves and branches underneath.

This kind of environment is a bit uncomfortable, but it is a favorite place for mushrooms. As long as you observe carefully, there will always be clusters of mushrooms growing under the roots of trees, or directly from dead leaves. He Zhang Xiaoxi was very happy to pick it.

It is the season when the mushrooms grow fat and tender. Even if other villagers come up to pick them, as long as it rains, they will always find them if they are careful. So after a while, five people picked a blue mushroom, the variety is still diverse.

He Tian found a tree, hung the basket on it, and picked it up when he came back, and then continued walking inside.

I have been here before, and I still remember the way, so it didn't take long to arrive.

It's not winter yet, and there are still many animals out and about in the mountains, so there's no need to worry about big wild animals or dangerous hunters coming here to look for food.But even so, Ye Linhe Tian still carefully observed the surroundings before moving forward.

After all, they are just a few children, how can they have the ability to support them?

The trees here have become denser, and some of the grass on the sunny side has begun to turn yellow. From time to time, squirrels jump over the branches and leaves of the trees, and occasionally they are frightened by the sound of the dead branches being trampled by them, flapping their wings and flying away. passing birds.

Inadvertently, several people will be startled, especially the timid Zhang Xiaoxi. This is his first time entering the mountain, and he is often startled by any noise, but he is frightened, and he is not like ordinary people. Shouting or screaming like that, even though his little face turned pale with fright, he just bit his lower lip tightly to prevent himself from making a sound, as if almost everyone was glued to He He's body.

In fact, due to illness, He He, who was about the same size as the two before, is now thinner and weaker than him. If something happens, He He can't protect him at all, but He He is the only brother here. Who does he post?

He He is also very helpless. After getting along these days, they all know that Xiao Xi has such a temperament. He usually doesn't talk much, and often hides behind others. He is often ignored by others, but he is the most careful of them. It's too timid to make people hate it.

He He could only comfort him as much as possible, "It's okay, there are so many of us, they are just big birds and squirrels, what are you afraid of."

"...En." Zhang Xiaoxi nodded, and responded in a small voice, but he still didn't let go of his arm, but he didn't hold it so hard anymore.

In fact, he also saw that it was a bird pine tree and the like. Some bold pine trees would stand on the branches and look at them as intruders, holding some fruits in their front paws, and occasionally biting them. Its mouth moves a lot, and the fluffy tail flicks behind it, which looks cute.

Gradually, he became less afraid, and sometimes he would forget to walk. It was He He who gave him a hand to recover, so the rest of the road went smoothly.

It's still in the same place, the pheasants are still there, but there seem to be more chickens.Six or seven colorful pheasants are leisurely looking for food among the dead leaves not far away, cooing in their throats from time to time to communicate with each other, or to guide their companions to stay away, so as not to be caught by predators.

Everyone was very happy to see the flock of chickens. They didn't move any further. They nervously watched Ye Lin draw the bow and set the arrow, praying that they could hit the prey.

Ye Lin took a few deep breaths, trying to hold his breath away from everything outside, only seeing the flock of pheasants over there, then raised his hand and slowly drew the bow, took aim, and released the arrow, the movements were all done in one go.

"call out--"

With this clear sound, the bamboo arrow pierced through the air and shot into a pheasant with black feathers and colorful tail near the thigh.

The pheasant was in pain, screaming and trying to escape. The pheasant flock was also frightened by the sudden movement and flew around. Ye Lin ignored the injured pheasant, and quickly drew his bow and shot two arrows, one of which missed. , One arrow after another shot a pheasant that escaped a little slower, but they missed the point, but hurt the thigh, dragging the arrow and running away.

Seeing Ye Lin, he didn't wait for other reactions, and others quickly ran up to catch up. He Tian didn't move slowly, he left a sentence to let the three of them stay where they were, and then chased after him to help.

The first one was obviously seriously injured, and it couldn't run for a long distance. It fell to the ground and fluttered its wings. It still tried to escape, but it was caught by He Heyesen and the others without any effort.

Ye Lin and He Tian didn't chase very far. After all, his leg was injured, and the pheasant lost strength after running too far, so he hid in the grass, hoping to escape the hunter's pursuit, but in the end he couldn't escape being caught. destiny.

"Haha, Lin Zi, you can do it!" He Tian couldn't help laughing as he walked back with the chicken leg in his hand, "When did you practice it? I haven't seen you practice it before, and your shots are so accurate!"

Ye Lin smiled and replied: "Just practice for a while sooner or later. I'm lucky today."

In fact, he also has secret pride in his heart, but he is not used to expressing it.After returning to the original place, and receiving the adoring eyes of the three again, the pride in my heart became more obvious.

But I don't know why when he met He He's bright eyes, which also showed admiration for himself, it made him suddenly feel uncomfortable all over, and his ears felt faintly hot.

Little Ye Sen's admiration for his brother is like the waves of the Yellow River, as if he empathizes with him, the smug smile on his round face is unstoppable.

"Lin Zi, you are really good!" He He gave him a thumbs up without hesitation. Not everyone has that accuracy. "Have you practiced a lot? Uncle Ye will be so happy to know."

"Cough-" Coughed uncomfortably, Ye Lin looked away first, "Fortunately, I'm trying my luck too, I didn't expect to be so lucky today, I ran into a flock of pheasants."

He Tian bumped him with his elbow, and continued to hold the pheasant while talking, so that Xiaoxi could tie the pheasant, "Luck is also a skill. If it were us, no matter how many pheasants there are, we might not be able to catch them." .”

Careful Zhang Xiaoxi pulled a few grass vines, tied the legs of the two pheasants, and tied one end to the handle of the basket, so that they would not be afraid of them running away.

It is estimated that there was too much movement before, and everyone walked around again. Although they found chickens again, it was just as Ye Lin himself said, good luck. In she, but it doesn't matter, I have already gained something today.

He He asked his brother and Ye Lin to dig several pits one meter or half a meter deep in these places. Some of the pits were bottomed with wooden stakes at the four corners, and vines were randomly entangled into a net, and some grass and dead leaves were spread on top. After marking, a simple trap is set.

I didn't use the sharp fork because I was afraid of accidentally hurting innocent people.

Everyone else is skeptical about this trap. Even He He himself is the first to practice it, and he cannot guarantee that he will be able to hunt the prey [-]%, but he will know after the experiment. Anyway, come back in a day or two to see the result. up.

The four of them were right after thinking about it, so they returned the same way with the pheasant.At first I thought it would be quite late, but I didn’t expect to be so lucky that I could harvest as soon as I entered the mountain, so when I returned to the place where the mushrooms were placed, everyone decided to change the direction, go to see wild fruits, and pick some to eat.
