末世 二三 事

"This imprint looks like a plum blossom, what kind of animal does it look like?"

"I feel like a cat."

"This forest is so deep, could it belong to wolves?" This was a villager who couldn't tell the difference between the footprints of cats and canines.

"We don't have wolves here, jackals have never seen one."

"I haven't seen that big crocodile before, why did it appear on the mountain again, and let us meet it."

You said what I said, and everyone discussed it, and it was impossible to guess what it was for a while.In previous years, it would have been nice if people could find traces of pheasants and hares in their mountains and forests, but after all, the current situation is special, and it is not surprising that there are suddenly more things that could not appear before.

Gao Changhui said: "Don't care what kind of animal it is, don't want to eat people again. Let's dig out the ears."

"Yes, yes, the footprints are not small, it must be very dangerous to encounter them."

They originally came out in the afternoon, and it was getting late, so they went down the mountain before dark and dug as much as possible.

Yan Fei, Jing Lin and others also returned to their original positions.

Yan Fei asked Jing Lin, "What kind of animal footprints do you think it looks like?"

"It belongs to the canine family." Jing Lin said, cats have pads on the soles of their feet, and they walk silently, with their paws retracted.The paws of the canine family cannot be retracted. They will make noise when walking on smooth ground, and they will slip when they are fast. The footprints left on the ground also have claw tips.

The shape left by these footprints is slightly clear, and the villagers don't see much so they don't notice it. Jing Lin and the others can see it a little more carefully, but it's really hard to guess what kind of animal it is, but the size is not small. of.

We also need to pick other things. We don’t dig much Zheergen, and we can’t finish eating after digging too much, so the most important thing is the thorny berries and mushrooms.It took about half an hour to dig, because almost every family had at least two people, so each family dug more than half of the bags, and the few were five or six catties.

"Go up." Yan Fei said, although the place below is empty, but because of the shade of the branches on the hillside, the light should be darker, and I'm afraid it's not safe to stay any longer.

When everyone was slowly climbing up the grass and trees on the slope, there was an indistinct roar of animals in the distance behind them.

"My mother!" Zhang Dazui was frightened by the sound, slipped his foot, and kicked his son Zhang Kai's face, Zhang Kai's nosebleed came out all at once, and tears came out in pain.

"My father, be merciful!" Zhang Kai was still holding the bag in one hand, and couldn't cover his nose bleeding, so he could only look up with tears hanging down his head, waiting for his father to climb up and put down his things before coming to meet him.

The calls of unknown animals in the distance continued, one after another.

Everyone used their hands and feet to climb up the slope at a faster speed, and they all breathed a sigh of relief when they successfully climbed up. Looking at the mountains and forests in the distance, everyone was afraid for one thing, but they were all curious about what kind of animal it was, "What kind of animal is this?" screaming?"

"I don't know, I haven't heard of this kind of thing."

Jing Lin said uncertainly: "It sounds like the cry of a deer." When Lele first came to him, he took him to the zoo several times to make Lele happy. The sound is a bit impressive, a bit low and hoarse at the beginning, and the sound is sharp and high-pitched at the end.

"Deer?" Li Feiyu smacked his mouth, if it was really a deer, then there would be a lot of meat, grab one and eat it for days.

Yan Fei could tell what was going on in his head just by looking at his expression, he raised his hand and patted his head, "Even if it's really a deer, you'll have to come another day if you want to catch it, and I don't know what animal those footprints were. "

Li Feiyu clutched the back of his head and let out a resentful oh.

The sound was far away, and everyone picked the wolfberry heads for a while, and then walked back with the things.Soon we arrived at the thornberry, and everyone rushed up to grab a good position, because the thornberry cluster has thorns, and the outer part is the best to pick. up.

A pheasant popped up suddenly and ran past Yan Lu who was picking fruit. She had no stones in her hand and watched the pheasant get farther and farther away from her. She grabbed the freshly picked fruit and hit it. I saw a pheasant, and then I saw that pheasant was hit by the fruit in an instant, and was knocked away for a long time.

Everyone who saw this scene opened their mouths wide open. As expected of a strong girl, a fruit is stronger than a stone.

"Haha!" Yan Lu ran over to pick up the pheasant and shook it in her hand. Seeing that the pheasant didn't respond and looked completely fainted, she shrugged her shoulders, wiped the fruit pulp on the chicken with weeds, and pretended Put it in your carry pocket.

Jing Lin was actually holding a stone in his hand all the time. The reason why he didn't make a move was that Yan Lu and Zhao Zhiwen had been wanting to practice with the pheasant along the way. He only makes a shot when someone hits him, and when Yan Lu throws the fruit, he is planning to make a shot.

Jing Lin walked over, watched Yan Lu put the pheasant in, and said, "It is estimated that the internal organs of this chicken were broken by your fruit."

Yan Lu said with a smile: "For the first time, I was not sure about my hand strength. I will know after trying more."

Zhao Zhiwen didn't come over, and he was the only one of the four who hadn't hit him all the time, and he was cheering himself up by the side.It's a pity that there were probably too many calls back in the morning, and there were not a few wild animals around in the afternoon. At this moment, I kept squinting and paying attention to the movement of the surrounding weeds.

The bag of pebbles that Li Feiyu gave Jing Lin was useless this afternoon.

After working for more than an hour, dozens of people picked all the places outside the bushes that could be picked. As for the middle ones, they had to pick them tomorrow. Those who picked a lot picked nearly two bags this time. There is also a little more bag, which can be taken back to make jam or fruit wine.

Picking mushrooms on the way back, everyone saved the inedible ones that Mimi had removed, and the goal became clearer.When you pick mushrooms, you are like grabbing them. If you can’t finish the mushrooms, you can dry them and save them. Everyone wants to pick more. The places they pass by are like locusts crossing the border.

After picking all the way to the bottom of the mountain, many people almost only have a pair of feet free, shoulders and hand-carrying, and a lot on their backs, and some people still have a bag that doesn't contain much in their mouths.

Among the group, Zhao Zhiwen and Yan Lu had the tallest back baskets. Several hemp belts were stacked on top of the back baskets, and they were extra careful when walking. When their legs shook, the things on their backs also shook. Lin and Yan Fei followed behind the two of them, looking worried for them all the way, but they were still chatting and smiling with relaxed faces.

Everyone went to Ma Renshan's home with their things on their backs, weighed them one by one according to the roster registered before, and then piled up a layer of harvests and put them aside. After they were all weighed, they distributed them to those who went in the morning people.

In the morning, the group of people saw that there were more and more things that had been divided out, and they all took their eyes off. After carrying their own things back, they came back with empty backpacks and bags.

"It was a good deal to go there in the morning." Zhao Shaoqian chatted with others while filling the bag with fruit.

Zhang Kai said: "I think our village must continue this tradition in the future. Those who are in the lead will eat more meat, and the people behind will be motivated." With motivation, they can pick more things, and they can share more.

Although some people feel distressed about giving away so much at once, they think that what they gave away is not much compared with what they got in the end, and the way to get it is very safe, and they are very content with the status quo and think about what will happen next time Good thing, he will probably still choose this way.

Jing Lin and the others carried all their things back. Zhou Yu had already killed the pheasant and stewed it. As soon as they arrived at Zhao's house, the smell of chicken wafted through their nostrils.

"Sure enough, it's because I didn't eat lunch. I feel very hungry all afternoon, and I feel like I can eat three big bowls tonight." Yan Ruifeng put the things in a corner of the room, rubbed his hands and walked into the backyard.

In the kitchen in the backyard, Zhou Feifei was sitting in front of the stove warming up the fire, Zhou Yu was tearing mushroom strips, saw the Zheergen that Zhao Zhiwen brought in, and said happily: "Wash some in water, let's make a cold salad tonight, there is still a small piece of bacon at home , I can make a dish of fried bacon with pea pods later.”

Lele ran around carefully with the cleaned thorn berries, Yaya chased after him and clamored to eat them.

Zhou Yu knew that even if Lele ate thorn berries, he could still eat like Jing Lin and the others, but he still told him, "Lele, eat less, and you still have to drink chicken soup at night."

"Grandma I know." Lele replied, then stopped to feed the fruit to Yaya.

Yaya is too tall, and Lele has to lower his head to eat the fruit when he feeds him.

The evening dishes are cold Zheergen, fried bacon with pea pods, fried cabbage with dried chili, and fried mushrooms in oil. Satisfied my hunger.After the chicken soup is finished, there is still in the pot, and if there is not enough, go directly to the big pot in the kitchen.

After the meal, everyone sat on the chairs to rest, Yan Ruifeng said: "I just want to eat like this every day."

Zhou Feifei said: "I don't ask for every day, it's good to eat once in a while."

Zhou Feifei grew up as a girl in the city, and she didn't suffer much. When she was a child, her family pampered her and grew up. After she got married and had a child, her husband and children pampered her and grew old. She really didn't understand the care of her family. How difficult it is to be in this world.But although she didn't understand it, she knew it, so she cherished the present life more than before. She didn't want to eat well and dress well, and being with her family and being beautiful was the most important thing.

After resting enough, Zhou Yu and Zhou Feifei cleaned up the dishes and the kitchen. Yan Fei asked Jing Lin to wait at Zhao's house for a while, and he sent the things back to help him carry them. The three of them went home together.

Jing Lin agreed, and took Lele to play at Zhao's house for a while.

Home, what a beautiful word.Before that, when talking about going home, all he thought of was the deserted rental house and old house where he and Lele stayed. Now that Yan Fei is added, everything seems to be different.

Yan Fei came back soon and helped Jing Lin carry the things, Ya Ya walked around in front of Jing Lin with his chest up, expressing that he could also help share some of the load.

Jing Lin looked at its large body, which was not inferior to the size of an ostrich. Despite doubts, he put a sack of mushrooms on its back under the fiery gaze of Duck and Duck, and watched the bag twist and twist as it walked. , but it never fell off, and finally let it be carried back successfully.

When they got home, Yaya tilted his body and put the bag into the living room.

Lele, who was staring at it strangely all the way, suddenly grabbed it by the neck, kicked his calf, and then straddled Yaya's back. At that moment, he yelled excitedly: "Duck Ya, you are so strong, you can move me behind your back!"

Yaya was confused by his little master: "?"
