In the next few days, Ayu was busy. On the morning of the second day after Ayu lived in Zhou's house, Zhou Xian went out when the sky was just light, and took Zhou Zhiruo to the second grandmother. home, and then I went to Uncle Zhuzi and asked him to help get more bamboo, and said that Ayu would use bamboo to make beds and shelves, and let the idle people in the village come to help.

Hearing such a good thing, everyone was overjoyed. People living in this small village are people who have no ability to survive. They are either the old, the weak, women and children, or they only know how to farm. They are poor in technology, and after several times of exploitation by the Yuan soldiers, they became even more destitute, and almost all of them were empty. When they heard that Ayu had this ability, not to mention those powerful adults, it was the second grandmother's who was as old as Ayu The kid also came over to help.

Speaking of the second grandma's family, it was even more miserable than Zhou Xian's family. The second grandma was a widow, her husband died early, and she finally relied on weaving, farming, raised her son, married a daughter-in-law, and gave birth to a grandson. It was a good day Not long after, the son bumped into Yuan Bing while he was selling things in the town and was beaten to death. The family immediately disbanded. In the thatched house, only an old man and a child were left. At that time, the little grandson was only four years old, and he was still a baby who could only eat but could not work.The second grandmother, who had been overworked for a long time, had to rely on weaving again to support her grandson.

Fortunately, the child of this poor man has been in charge of the family for a long time. The little grandson, Goudan, is very sensible at a young age. Since he was five or six years old, he has learned how to dig wild vegetables and mix something for the family. Although he has never had enough to eat, But anyway, it can be regarded as struggling to grow up.

Ayu looked at this boy with a big head and a small body, whose ribs could be seen through the torn clothes, and felt distressed for a while, saying that they were the same age, and they were both seven or eight years old, but this boy was half shorter than himself He's tall and doesn't even have shoes on his feet.Watching him nimbly chopping off bamboo branches with a machete, he knew that the child might have calluses on his hands from hard work. A seven or eight-year-old child has calluses on his hands. sin.

Ayu can't say anything sympathetic, and he doesn't want to say too much. In the eyes of others, doesn't his own identity also belong to the sympathized member!What he can do is to be as fast as possible, to make the things in his hands earlier, and to see those adults busy happily one by one, and some of them are helping to split bamboo sticks, learning to do some laborious things , Looking at it, you can tell that they want to take care of themselves. Ayu likes it very much in his heart. It is not without reason that he likes ancient times. Most of the people here are kind and simple.

In three or four days, almost every family in the village had extra bamboo beds, bamboo frames, even bamboo baskets, bamboo chairs. Enthusiasm, these days can also be fiddled with some.But even if this is the case, the families are already happy enough, they have not added anything to the family for many years!It is rare to have such a good opportunity.

A few people even suggested to Ah Yu that they would be responsible for chopping bamboo and doing preliminary processing, and Ah Yu would be responsible for making objects, and then they would send people to sell in the town, and get money. Make a living.

This Ayu thinks it is good, but the money is too slow for this matter. Besides, there must be some kind of carpenter or bamboo craftsman in the town. For those who are willing to learn the craft, he can teach it for free. As for selling it for money?If everyone is sorry, in the future when there is something to do at home and the labor is not enough, everyone can help.Like building a house or something.There are three people in the family, and only Zhou Xian is an adult, it's a bit embarrassing to watch.Ayu could see the stars in the sky while lying on the bed last night. This room, if it rains, it must be due to heavy rain outside and light rain inside.

But Ayu is going to take a rest, he has scratched several times with his hands these days, the key is the porridge every day, there is no oil in his stomach, he really can't help it.

It was dawn, and Ayu opened his eyes habitually. He knew that Zhou Xian had woken up when he heard the rustling sounds from the side. , Lunch should always be prepared, simpler, get a big noodle pan, Ayu looked at the bottomed noodle tank, couldn't help but want to frown, the last time he bought rice I forgot, at this time, the area I was in was near Xiangyang, and many people ate more noodles than rice. I was used to Jiangnan, but I forgot this.Next time, I'd better buy more grains like flour!

On the first day, Ayu informed those who followed him to do manual work that he was going into the mountains today.So Ayu wasn't worried about delaying anything today, packed her basket, put on a medicine hoe, put a dagger on her waist, and held a bow and arrow in her hand. Ayu was going to go out with Zhou Xian. Very, especially near Xianrendu, the Han River is like a knife that divides the land into two. The east side is a plain, with occasional hills and scattered small soil bumps, while the west side of the Han River However, the mountains and forests are densely covered, stretching endlessly, and there is almost no flat place. Even those villages are mostly in the valley.The west bank where Zhou Xian ferryed to the south, tens of miles down, you can only see mountains, but no people, but to the north, there are some fields and villages.It's just not close.If you want to talk about this business in such a place, it can only be described as barely.

If Ayu wanted to go up the mountain, he had to go to the opposite side, which was why he planned to go out with Zhou Xian.Ayu packed her things and watched Zhou Xian pick up Zhou Zhiruo, who was still dozing off, and was about to send her to the second grandma's house for further storage, but when she opened the door, the two of them were startled, there was actually a person sitting at the door , probably heard the sound of the door opening, the figure turned around immediately, and at first glance, it turned out to be Goudan, the kid from the Second Grandma's house.

"Dog? If you don't work today, what are you doing here? It's not even light yet!"

In the past few days, Ayu has become very familiar with this kid who is about his age. I don't know if Ayu has a relationship with children. It seems that he has always been easier to get along with children.So the tone of the speech is very natural, without any unfamiliarity.

Ayu finished speaking here and waited for an answer, but Goudan over there was silent, his mouth was tightly pursed, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, he was almost impatient waiting for Ayu, and then he choked out a sentence.

"Ayu, I want to go up the mountain with you and learn how to hunt."

Ayu was taken aback, God, he is only seven or eight years old, how can he learn to hunt!It's not him, he has been in touch with bows and arrows for several lifetimes, he is still practicing martial arts, and he has light abilities to escape, so his safety is guaranteed, this bastard can't do anything!If this is going up the mountain, what if something happens?Second Mistress is his only lifeline.

But looking at Goudan's resolute and firm eyes, Ayu couldn't say the words of refusal.At this moment, he seemed to see Yang Guo, Ah Fei, and Xiao Bao, stubborn, inferior, and determined.Ayu understands very well, this bastard is trying to find a way to survive, he has nothing, except life, he really has nothing!Digging wild vegetables has never been enough to eat, relying on the second grandma, how long can I rely on those half-crippled eyes?So he wanted to find a way out for himself, and also for his dilapidated family. Obviously, he took a fancy to his own ability. Maybe it was the sentence when Ayu just came that Ayu can hunt and support himself, which touched him. In his heart, this child is also eager to support himself.

Ayu couldn't refuse, the kid was trying to grow up, he couldn't dampen his enthusiasm, so he nodded, and said:

"Success, follow if you want, but you must listen to me. After all, there are many dangers on the mountain. It is common for someone to die accidentally. You have to be prepared. This meal is not good."

Hearing that Ayu was willing to take him with him, Goudan's eyes lit up, he nodded hurriedly, stretched out his hand and pulled it towards the courtyard wall, and a basket appeared in front of everyone's eyes, which contained his usual small hoe for digging wild vegetables, and a handful Hatchet, obviously this child has already prepared everything, Ayu even thought, if he disagrees, is this child ready to secretly follow behind.

The conversation between Ayu and Goudan, Zhou Xian didn't intervene, except for frowning, he didn't express anything else, but when he was walking out of the village, he paused at the door of the second grandma's house, and stopped when he sent Zhou Zhiruo in one time.

Ayu clearly saw a figure at the window watching them silently, presumably, the Second Grandma would not have known, nor could she not understand how difficult and dangerous it would be to plan food on the mountain at this age. But she didn't stop her, she just watched silently. Thinking about this time, she felt very uncomfortable, but what can she do!If they want to survive and have a bite to eat, they have to work hard. In their view, Ayu is a capable person. It is better to learn from Ayu than to find it out on your own when you really can't survive in the future.Children always have to grow up, they just push the grown-up age forward.

Ayu felt something was blocking her chest, she couldn't speak, she just walked with her head sullen, and when she got to the other side, Ayu regained her composure, turned her head and said to Zhou Xian:

"Uncle, we will be back before dinner, and we will wait for you here."

"Hey, be careful. Don't go too deep, you are still young, don't worry."

What else can I say, poor people are not qualified to spare their lives, so they can only be more careful.Ayu nodded, and with the dog egg, the two of them walked to the south of the mountain closest to the river, each with a basket on their backs.

Where there are many mountains, people will naturally rely on the mountains to eat. This is the simplest. Although there are no people living in this mountain, it still supports many people.In these days, it is not easy for anyone. Relying on mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water is the most primitive survival instinct.So this is the closest to the Han River, and the mountains and forests close to the plain are the most visited.As for the deep mountains, no matter how experienced Yao Nong was, Orion would not dare to enter at will.

If Ayu was alone, then in order to gain more, maybe he would rely on his own ideas and ability to go a little further, hunting some medium-sized prey for some money, but with such a person, he was worthless. Yes, he didn't dare to do that, since he brought someone here, he was always responsible for the child's safety.So he chose a relatively safe place.

The mountains and forests that people often haunt basically don't have any big prey, especially those ferocious beasts. You must know that if you encounter a good player, these ferocious beasts are just prey for a lot of money. To be deflated.Those medium-sized wolves also know how to seek good fortune and avoid harm, so they don’t often move around in such a place, so this place has basically become the world of small animals. This time, Ayu just wanted to get some meat, and by the way Forget about the medicinal materials, waiting for this dog to have some basic knowledge of mountains and forests, and have a certain skill, thinking about going into it.

Ayu has been talking about the rules of entering the mountain since he went up the mountain.

"Dog, remember, the first thing you do when you enter the mountain is to tie your trousers tightly. You must know that there are a lot of snakes and insects in this mountain. If you don't pay attention, they can easily be attacked by them. In a When walking, you should look around more carefully, so as not to step on something that should not be stepped on, such as a snake or something. If you step on it, it will bite you directly, and try to be as gentle as possible. If you make any big noises, it will easily scare away the prey, and you can't speak loudly..."

Ayu chattered non-stop, and even pointed to the branches and told Goudan how to find the direction in the woods, how to make marks to prevent getting lost, and how to distinguish the footprints of animals.It's completely like an old hunter. Fortunately, Goudan doesn't know anything, and he doesn't know how long it takes to learn these skills to reach Ayu's current level. This is entirely the experience of several lifetimes!If another person listened to it, they would probably be able to look at Ayu's body to see if this guy is the original one.

Among them, Goudan saw a lot of wild vegetables and mushrooms, and asked if he should pick some. He was trained by Ayu again. Orion never picked these things when he went up the mountain. It was all when he went down the mountain. The reason is very Simple, they need to travel lightly, and they can't increase their burden for such things.Goudan nodded again and again, and looked at Ayu with eyes full of admiration, looking at Ayu who wanted to slap his forehead. How could he look like the way he took a group of children to sweep around Yangzhou back then.

Don't say it, don't look at Goudan who doesn't know anything, but he digs wild vegetables all the year round, his legs are still very good, and his temper is also resolute. He is obviously tired from walking, and his face is flushed, and he refuses to stop. Follow closely.In the end, Ayu couldn't bear it, and taught a few breathing methods. Of course, this is not about internal strength, but pure Taoist breathing, which has a certain effect on relieving fatigue.

The two children walked halfway up the mountain and began to enter the dense forest area. Ayu slowly stopped talking, looked around for a while, put down the basket in a relatively open place, and signaled Goudan to do as he did. , and then began to use a bow and arrow, carefully exploring step by step, staring at the boss even more, after walking dozens of steps, there was a burst of noise from the bushes on one side, and without saying a word, Ayu shot directly , a pheasant that was shot in the wing flew up from it, but with the arrow on its body, the pheasant could not escape the fate of being destroyed, but it just fluttered a few times in vain before falling headlong, dog egg His eyes were red, and without waiting for Ayu to greet him, he rushed up, grabbed the pheasant in his hand, and wanted to drag it back. At this moment, Ayu flew past Goudan's scalp with an arrow, and Goudan I was so scared that I almost peed my pants, and I didn't know what was going on for a while.

When Ayu walked over quickly with a gloomy face, and tore a green snake that had been shot in the neck from a tree less than one meter away from his back, Goudan's complexion also changed, turning pale, this is Zhuyeqing , It's a poisonous snake, if you let it bite you, your life will probably be over in no time.

"You forgot what I said, be careful, be careful, there are dangers everywhere in this forest, what is the difference between you doing this and sending yourself to death? If you do this again next time, I will never bring you here again. One, how should I explain to Second Mistress."

Goudan had a guilty expression on his face, he knew that Ayu had saved his life, he was really careless, he saw that there was nothing else in the eyes of the pheasant, and he ignored what Ayu had been saying just now, to watch more.

Ayu looked at the half-dead Zhuyeqing in his hand, and casually tore off a cloth bag from his body and put it in. Goudan was obviously very puzzled, and didn't understand what Ayu wanted him to do with this little meat, but he didn't dare to ask. Getting into trouble, this is the time when you are at your least courageous.Thinking in her heart, if Ayu wanted to tell him, she would definitely say it, so she stopped talking.

In the following time, Goudan followed Ayu step by step. Be careful, for fear of offending Ayu, he really won't take him next time. After seeing Ayu's miraculous arrow, he had already made up his mind. You must learn to hunt from Ayu, and you must learn to archery. This is indeed a way to survive, a very good way to survive. If he can be as good as Ayu, the family will no longer have to worry about food.

After all, the forest here has been raided quite frequently by people, and the prey is pitifully small. Ayu and the others have been tossing around all morning, but they only killed two pheasants.Seeing that it was time for lunch, if Ayu was alone, he would definitely get a beggar chicken to eat at this time. The noodle pancakes are really not attractive, but looking at the way Goudan carefully protects his prey, he is really If you can't do it, forget it, for the perennially hungry Goudan, the biggest function of this prey is not to eat, but to exchange for money, and then buy food.If I really ate it, I would probably make this child sick to death with resentful eyes.

Ayu divided the pancake in his arms into two and handed it to Goudan. The kid obviously didn't plan to eat anything for lunch. He swallowed while looking at the pancake, but he still stubbornly refused it. Ayu looked at him a little funny , and stuffed it directly into his hand.

"Let's eat. If you haven't eaten, you still have strength there. If you feel embarrassed and hunt prey by yourself in the future, just ask me to eat a meal too."

Having said that, Goudan also laughed, as if he could really see such a scene in front of him, so satisfied, biting the pancake with a big mouth, and greedily touching Ayu's bow and arrow with his other hand, obviously he was very satisfied with Ayu's love. The set guy is very envious.

"This pair costs eight taels of silver, which is not cheap. I bought it in a blacksmith's shop. It has a hardwood bow, thirty arrows, and a complete set. If you want to get it cheaper, you can find a way to buy it from Orion in the future. They can make it themselves. An old bow can be used after repairing it. It only costs about three taels. Let’s save money slowly. As long as you study hard, it will actually be very fast.”

Hearing the astronomical price that Ayu said, Goudan's whole face was wrinkled together. Fortunately, Ayu gave him hope, Goudan nodded fiercely, and silently withdrew his hand, Ayu Seeing it in his eyes, he nodded appreciatively in his heart, this is a child who knows how to measure, he is not greedy or jealous.

After eating pancakes, the two of them took a break and continued their hunting trip. After half an hour, they finally caught another rabbit. Ayu himself gritted his teeth for this harvest. It was too little. Sorry to say he did it.Hey, carrying a tow bottle is a hassle.

Looking up at the sky, Ayu decided that today's hunting would be over, and he should just concentrate on gathering herbs, maybe the harvest would be bigger.

Next, Ayu pointed at Goudan, and the two children started digging the ground, including medicinal materials, wild vegetables, mushrooms, fungus, and even wild fruits. Bird eggs on the trees would not be spared. He took the dog eggs and went down the mountain with a full basket on his back. He didn't go to the ferry, but to the town. The pheasants and rabbits were all exchanged for money. He doesn't have the heart to tan the leather now. That Zhou Xian I don’t have anything at home, and I don’t even have a place to put the tanned things. It’s better to sell them all directly, and sell them for a hundred yuan.

And that Zhuyeqing, who was not dead yet, was sold by Ayu to the pharmacy. Snake gall and snake venom were needed by the pharmacy. Shiwen, wild vegetables?Take that home and eat it yourself.

With 150 Wen, Ayu turned around and returned to the butcher shop with the dog eggs. He spent [-] Wen to buy a few big bones, ready to go home and make soup. The conditions are tough!Let's top it with bone soup first, and buy the rest of the black noodles, seven cents a catty, and the copper plate in my hand is exactly twenty catties.Ayu divided the black noodles into two bags, one was [-] catties and the other was [-] catties.Put it in the back basket, take the food, and the rest of the dozen eggs and a few bones in the back basket and walk to the ferry.

Zhou Xian had been waiting at the ferry for a while, but fortunately there were no guests, so he just sat quietly on the boat, keeping his eyes on the road. Although he knew that Ayu was very powerful, he was thinking of a child and took him with him. Another child, still a child who knows nothing.He was really worried. Seeing that the time was coming, his heart was in a panic, for fear of any accident.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for him to see those two little figures. Zhou Xian was relieved at last, and he didn't ask them how they got. He just kept holding them onto the boat and returned to the east bank of the Hanshui River together. .

Waiting to arrive in the village, in the yard of Second Grandma’s house, Ayu was smiling and holding the five catties of black noodles and a big bone, seven or eight bird’s eggs and taught Second Grandma, the eyes of the dog’s eggs widened.

"Ayu, this, this."

"What about this and that? You scoured the bird eggs yourself. It's the same as your wild vegetables, mushrooms, and fungus. The black noodles and bones were replaced by the medicinal materials you dug. Why are you not satisfied? Boy, I have more than you. But who made you have no prey! Right."

"No, no, I mean, there are too many, there are really many, I... I... I don't have many medicinal materials, you taught me how to recognize them, and I can change them there."

"Okay, you're a man anyway, why are you so sticky! I say as much as you want, son of a bitch, if you want to go with me again, just cut down on the ink."

There's something else I don't understand, it's obviously that Ayu is taking care of Goudan, the second grandma is looking at her grandson's rations, things, and watching Ayu's adult-like movements, she doesn't know what to do for a while, her eyes She shed tears of joy, took Ayu's hand, and kept shouting:

"Good boy, thank you, thank you. Good boy."

On the other hand, Zhou Zhiruo, who was hugged by Zhou Xian, looked at the eggs, drooled, nodded with her fingers, and shouted:

"Egg."

After hearing Zhou Zhiruo's words, Second Mistress wanted to put the bird eggs back for Ayu, but Ayu refused.

"I still have some here, sister, let's go home and eat egg custard! Second grandma, you are also cooking and eating, and there are still bones, which can be eaten in soup to replenish your body. Goudan will go up the mountain with me tomorrow. We will not be short in the future." You should also save on food, eat more, your body will be healthy, and you will be able to hunt more prey in the future, otherwise you may not even be able to draw your bow."

Second Mistress nodded quickly, and said in one voice:

"Hey, Ayu is a capable child. Goudan will be able to follow you in the future. Second Grandma will eat it, and Goudan will eat it too. If you eat well, let Goudan be a good helper for you."

I can't listen to it anymore, it's just five catties of black flour, a few bird eggs, and a bone. Full of hope, when Ah Yu finally walked out, he felt a bit like he had run away, living is not easy!
