Wearing a mountain village tuff

The person on the bed didn't move, Ye Baiyou sat down beside the bed, and approached the person on the bed with his hand protecting the lamp.

Suddenly, a pair of eyeballs in the dark were extremely bright, and small orange flames danced in the pupils.

"Fuck!"

"You don't know if you're dead or not!"

Ye Baiyou leaned back in fright, and almost threw the lamp in his hand directly at the man to be cremated on the spot.

Shen Wujing woke up when he came back.He is now physically weak, and it is slightly difficult to turn over.Wanted to see what he would do, then he was taken aback.

My brother is vulgar and cowardly.

Shen Wujing closed her eyes: "Sorry."

"Has a hoarse voice?"

He had some pity: "You didn't lie down for a night and a day, and didn't eat anything!"

Shen Wujing's face changed slightly. "have eaten."

"Oh. That's good, I said I'll roast some loach for you."

He brought back a lot of loaches, and he was generous.But since everyone ate them all, there was no need to waste the few pieces of meat he dug out so hard.

Shen Wujing choked.

"Can you..."

As soon as the words came out, Ye Baiyou had already left him behind and happily went out.

In such a hot day, the loach is easy to spoil if it dies.It happened to be a little cooler at night, and while I was free, I made the dried loach first.

Generally speaking, to make dried loach, you need to put them in the water and spit sand first.But conditions are limited, mud can be eaten, and loach with mud is no problem.

Ye Baiyou temporarily forgot about the patient who was staying at home.

The oil lamp flickered, and the big flame projected the movements of Ye Baiyou's hand onto the muddy wall.

Between the fingers, the salt grains fall and rest.That preoccupation made the oil lamp shake in the wind.Confound the shadow.

The miserly half-ladle of water was stained with a pinch of salt, stirred well and poured into the basin.Make sure that each palm-length loach can roll around in the salt water.

Rain and dew soaked.

After marinating for 10 minutes, Ye Baiyou cleaned up the large vat next to the kitchen stove.Wipe the inside with the cleanest veil, and then slowly pour in the clear water that has been left to stand.

The sound of splashing water is pleasant to the ear.

But two and a half buckets go in, and a bottom has just been laid in the big tank.

Ye Baiyou leaned on the outer edge of the tank, and took a closer look.As if he had relieved his greed, he put the lid back on and started to process the loach.

The marinated loach should be washed with water.

Ye Baiyou also used half a ladle of water, and rubbed the slippery ones into the water a few times.Wash it for a while, then wrap it with a clean cloth to remove moisture, and then put it in the sieve you found.

Just spread it out and place it on the stove, and put it outside in the sun as soon as the sun comes out tomorrow morning.

In this weather, it would be fine to set him up for three or two days.

As soon as I finished packing, drowsiness came immediately.

Stretching out, he locked the kitchen door to prevent the cats from coming in. Ye Baiyou changed his clothes, threw himself on the bed, and immediately fell asleep.

Listening to the movement outside, Shen Wujing, who was waiting for Ye Baiyou to come in again, pursed her lips into a straight line.

Gently press down with the hand on the abdomen.

He had already eaten half a pie this morning.

Actually, a little hungry.

-

In the early morning, Ye Baiyou, who was used to getting up early in the morning to work, turned over and twisted the hair that covered her eyes helplessly into a lump and fixed it with cloth strips.

Ye Baiyou walked out of the room, leaving behind a clear figure lying sideways on the wooden bed.

He came out of sleep.

"Loach, loach." Ye Baiyou muttered and pushed open the kitchen door.

Very good, the whole family is still slumped on the sieve.Now that there is a slight breeze outside, Ye Baiyou lifted the stools in groups of two and put the sieve on them.

Higher, less gray.

The loach covered the whole bamboo sieve, crowded together.

Thinking about going out later, if a stray cat or something comes in, wouldn't all this effort be in vain?

He turned his head and knocked on the door of Shen Wujing's room: "Brother?"

One second, two seconds...

There was no voice inside, but there was a bang, as if something had fallen to the ground.

Ye Baiyou quickly pushed the door open, and saw the small wooden sculpture lying on the ground.

"Brother, excuse me, it's such a thing..."

Ye Baiyou said and looked at Shen Wujing.As a result, the mouth is so dry that the skin is dry, and the face that was originally so white is now so white that it turns gray!

"Brother, this is you!!"

"water……"

The person on the bed closed his eyes tightly, only half-opened his lips and murmured softly.If he just looked at his face like this, he would be like an immortal.

But now the celestial beings need water...

Ye Baiyou patted his head and hurried out, but his steps were a bit heavy.

water!He also has no water!

Come back quickly and hand over the water, but people can't catch it anymore.

Helpless, he could only put down the bowl first.

"Offended." As he spoke, he helped him up, and as soon as the bowl touched his lips, he began to drink.

Drinking water is also gentle.

Maybe it came from a big family.But now it's mixed like this, it looks really miserable.

After the eldest brother finished drinking the water, he also opened his eyes.

With their eyes facing each other, Ye Baiyou's breathing stagnates.If the elder brother with his eyes closed is restrained and gentle, then the elder brother with his eyes open is inexplicably oppressive.

Ye Baiyou's heart trembled, and he lost his mind for a moment.I only saw his lips move a few times.

Waiting for people to stop, Ye Baiyou regained consciousness in a daze.

"What did you say?" Ye Baiyou was embarrassed to be put down, "I didn't hear it."

A dark color flashed across Shen Wujing's eyes. "nothing."

Ye Baiyou nodded: "That's a good relationship. I have something to ask for your help."

"It's just that I'm going to the mountains, and I'm afraid the cats will eat the loach I'm drying outside. So I want you to come out and take a look when you hear the news." He stopped for a while, and seeing Shen Wujing listening, he continued, "As a reward ..."

Ye Baiyou looked at the empty bowl in his hand distressedly.

"As a reward, I am willing to give you two loaches."

There was no wave in Shen Wujing's heart.

"Then... three?"

Shen Wujing looked away, and lightly pressed the hand on her abdomen again.He is dignified and quiet, independent of his family, and managed his mother's shop in two years, making it famous in the whole of Kyoto.

There are tens of thousands of taels of business in his hands, how can he bend his waist for just two or three loaches now.

joke!

Ye Baiyou saw that he had the feeling that he opened his mouth like a lion, the sun was about to come out outside, and he couldn't afford to delay.He stomped his feet, dripping with pain.

"Five loaches and a bowl of water!"

Shen Wujing slowly turned her head around, the light in her eyes was more foxy than a fox.

"make a deal!"

"Humph!"

"I counted it, if one is missing! It will be halved!" Ye Baiyou was furious.

"Ah."

Shen Wujing felt a lot better when she saw the back of her brother running out in anger.

I thought I would have to ask for some food, but now that it is delivered to my door, I don't want to squeeze more, I'm sorry for his stomach that has been hungry for two or three days.

"Xiu Yan thanked you for this." He said to the deserted thatched cottage.

-

The first task today is still fetching water.

With yesterday's experience, Ye Baiyou observed the hanging vines while walking.However, there are many people coming from the outside, and there is no food to eat when they stop and go.

Gathering his thoughts, Ye Baiyou walked directly to the water pool.

We dug such a big pool yesterday, and today we can definitely fill two buckets of water.

As good as you can imagine, how ugly the reality is!

Among the layers of trees, Ye Baiyou brushed away the weeds in the ditch.Half of his body was exposed in the ravine, but what he saw was the dented tree branches that had been stepped on.

Beside the water pool, there are scattered footprints of wild beasts.

The paw prints and hoof prints are vaguely recognizable.Ye Baiyou panicked, climbed up the ditch and stepped on the mud to the edge of the pool.

"Oh my god!"

The treasure nestled in the hand is broken!

The water inside was turbid, instead of the expected palm-high clear water, it was a puddle nearly one centimeter in size.

He made a wrong step and fell into a big mud pit similar to footprints, and sat back when he missed the step.

"footprint?"

He stretched out his hand and compared it, it was astonishingly big.

Ye Baiyou supported the stone beside him and pulled his leg out.In other words... besides animals, there were people who came.

He squatted on the stone slab and looked around the small puddle.

Seeing the fallen grass and footprints, they came from the opposite direction.

Over there...not Daquan Village.

Such a big foot must be a man. Ye Baiyou compared his thin body of 1.9, and a tall man with a height of at least [-] meters was commensurate with this footprint.

No, I can't beat it!

In a desperate situation, human nature is unpredictable.

Ye Baiyou's heart sank more and more.

If this land is taken by force, he will have no water source.

Thinking of this, Ye Baiyou scooped out the last layer of shallow water in the puddle.A little bit is a little bit.After catching loach again, Ye Baiyou looked at the scattered food and suddenly became suspicious.

Do you want to go on like this forever?

I have been staying in this place without water and food, and when I think of it this day, it will rain a little to save me.

Too passive, Ye Baiyou doesn't like it.

Now that Yuanchen's parents can go north, the elder brother also said that there are still some ways of life in Jing'an Mansion.

Then should he also try to go north?

Ye Baiyou mulled this idea over and over in his mind, but the movements of his hands didn't stop.No matter what, store enough food first before you can choose conditionally.

He continued up the ditch, looking for edible roots.

There is already a yam in the back basket, and the rest is the newly dug up soil by others.

Ye Baiyou's eyes fell on the category belonging to the deep mountains.

The plants are dense and the vines are intertwined.When people go in, they can be directly submerged by the grass.Ye Baiyou's eyes became deeper and deeper. "Either go further in, or go north."

Standing on the edge for a while, Ye Baiyou cut some vines and dragged them to the edge of the pool.

Try it first.If you make a simple trap, you may be able to catch small animals, which is also an additional food source.

This time, not much was gained.

After Ye Baiyou filled the water again, he walked down the mountain.When we got home, it was still dark.

First checked the loach and turned it over.Then put today's reward—five grilled loach and a bowl of water—by Shen Wujing's side.Ye Baiyou went out with a lot of worries.

Shen Wujing narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard the movement.

Where are you going?
