The Marginal People of Jia's Family in the Red Chamber
Chapter 57 6.1
When he woke up again, he still saw the familiar white light. Wang Li blocked the dazzling white light with his right hand and lay motionless on the ground.
"Hehe, is it possible that you still want to never get up for the rest of your life?" Bai Pao mocked.
"It's just taking a break, even Zhou Papi is not enough to describe you."
Bai Pao curled his lips indifferently, he knows how to poke Wang Li's sore feet best: "Aren't you going to see the original body's wish?"
As soon as Wang Li waved his hand, the bottle representing Jia Qiong's soul flew over. The soul inside was no longer warm and pure white, but a little gray. "Sure enough," said the prince to himself.
"People's wish is just to be a wealthy idler and marry a stunning beauty. Are you meddling in the royal family and court disputes, and are you still trying to be satisfied with yourself?"
"Wealth, the richest people in the world are businessmen, and the most expensive is the royal family. Jia Qiong's fate is at stake, and I don't want to work hard to make another rebellion. Being a relative of the emperor is the best way , I am leisurely and carefree on weekdays, and when I am bored, I can find something to do, and by the way, what's wrong with brushing up the emperor's favorability?" Wang Li plausibly defended himself.
"Then what did you do to kill Lin Daiyu?"
"Hey, hey, what do you mean I killed her? She had a difficult delivery. You can only choose one child or an adult. No, you can choose two. There are two children in her belly, the hope of the Jialin family." Wang Li retorted.
"Hehe, you can keep Lin Daiyu alive, but you are just lingering on the sick bed. The two children can also survive, at most they are not in good health. You are just doing it for your own convenience, and you don't want anyone to be with you. Don't be a bitch. The memorial archway has been erected."
"At that time, the child was weak, and there was no difference between not growing up and not surviving. Even if I stayed with him all my life and served him with good medicine and good medicine, I couldn't change the injury suffered at birth. Compared with his wife, Jia Qiong is not Should you value your son more?"
"Then let's skip this matter, Jia Yushu, how can you explain it? Look at your good show, how much you have disguised yourself as a white lotus? When Jia Yushu knew the emperor's thoughts and asked you to get close to the emperor, you Do you know? You pretended not to know, and played your good brother wholeheartedly, but in the end he died cleanly. But the queen and the emperor turned against each other, and the prince also separated from the emperor and queen. You see, after the prince ascended the throne, Guangna In the harem, let these people fight like raising Gu worms, and the one who is the most vicious and vicious at the end sits on the throne." With a wave of the white robe's sleeves, the scene of the crown prince ascending the throne appeared in the air.
"Is it possible that because of my special ability, my life is not my life? I gave Jia Yushu the greatest honor in the world. The emperor was no longer close to the people in the harem at that time. As long as she manages well, the throne belongs to her son. She will also be the Empress Dowager. Unfortunately, she only wants to sit back and enjoy the benefits, why should I take advantage of her?"
"As for the emperor, it's not an exaggeration to call him a virtuous minister. For those dark thoughts in his heart, he ruined a generation of virtuous ministers. Speaking of true love, are you sure he didn't want to label Jia Qiong as a sycophant?" body, so as to cover up the radiance." Wang Li analyzed rationally.
"Tsk tsk, you are really dark, and you still talk about others." The white robe sighed.
Wang Li put Jia Qiong's soul in his hands, and said: "This level is still usable, it's not a failure, at most it's just a difference between [-] and [-] points, I'm not a perfectionist, [-] points enough."
Bai Pao watched Wang Li play with the bottle containing the soul, but didn't say much.
Wang Li dealt with Jia Qiong's soul, and chose among many candidates for his soul wishes, and said, "Help me find someone who is really poor and white. Doesn't the Jia family have poorer offspring?"
"Why, have you had enough of your rich life?"
"No. It's the same as a child who doesn't cherish rice, so let him eat cornmeal for a day; a child in the city doesn't cherish the living conditions, so let him go to the mountains to change his shape. It's just a change of taste. Why does Buddhism have the practice of penance? What? When the will is not firm enough, external forces come to help." Wang Li explained.
"It's up to you, go this way, it's all in line with your conditions." The white robe pointed.
Wang Li went over to take a closer look and asked doubtfully, "Aren't these people surnamed Jia?"
"Who said that Jia's mansion only includes people with the surname Jia?" Bai Pao sneered.
Wang Li closed his eyes, touched it casually, and sank into the darkness.
……
Hungry, hungry, hungry!
Leng Ergou was woken up by hunger. He had never felt such hunger in several lifetimes. He was so hungry that his chest stuck to his back, his stomach was sour, and he couldn't lift his strength.
Leng Ergou turned around slightly, felt a warm body next to him, rubbed it up and touched it.
"Ergou, don't move, save some energy, your father is going to find something to eat." A hoarse female voice came from the side, and Leng Ergou silently stopped moving.
The person lying on the kang quickly fell asleep or passed out.
Leng Ergou looked through his memory, and found that this place suffered from a drought, and the child's memory didn't remember which province or county this place was, and if he could use the kang, it should be in the north.
As for why the whole family has to lie in bed waiting to die, instead of going out to find food, or escape famine, just look at the scenery outside.
It’s not just talking about thousands of miles in the red land. Now there is no green in the place where you are looking. The grass roots and bark have been eaten clean. They are all green and lush, but now all the trees on the mountain are dead, and the animals inside have long since disappeared. You just have the ability to subdue dragons and subdue tigers, and the animals are gone, so what can you do?
As for fleeing famine, to walk, one must first have strength. To have strength, one must first eat. Where did one get the food?I heard that cannibalism has started outside, I thought that Leng Ergou walking out with such thin arms and legs is just a piece of meat in a big pot.Fortunately, the people in the village have almost left now, otherwise the male owner of the family would not dare to leave the women and children at home to find food.Otherwise, when you come back, you will be a pile of bones.
"Grass roots and bark are exhausted, food is exhausted, refugees carry their way, starvation fills the wild, and the dead lie on their pillows." Drought, hunger, pain unimaginable, morality has been lost, and most people cannot survive.
Leng Ergou moved slightly, looked down at his thin body that was almost out of shape, touched his cheek with his hand, guessed that he was an alien now, four matchsticks propped up a glutinous rice ball In terms of image, the only thing that stands out on the face is a pair of eyes, so thin that the cheekbones poke people.
Leng Ergou couldn't sleep, his stomach was burning and aching. He knew that since the original body could live up to his entrusted wish, he would naturally have a chance to survive, but it was just too uncomfortable. Now he began to regret his unreliable thoughts. You shouldn't just touch one at random with your eyes closed, it's really unlucky.
Leng Ergou had no choice but to fall asleep again in such pain, and when he became conscious again, the male master of the house had already returned.Ragged clothes, thin body, still thin, only a pair of protruding eyes on the face, 30-year-old people are already wrinkled and old, no wonder people who turn 40 want to call themselves old men, think about the average life expectancy of 35 years Bar.
"Dali, Ergou, and Sanwa come to eat." Leng's father said weakly.
"Don't move, save your energy, I'll just pass it to them." Leng's mother reached out and passed the things over, one by one to each person's hand, which is also to prevent food snatching.
Leng Ergou held seven or eight short grass roots that belonged to him, wondering if he should call them food.Looking at the two brothers who were devouring, he still stuffed the grass roots into his mouth.The grass root still smells like earth when it enters the mouth, and the mouth can no longer secrete a lot of saliva. Leng Ergou carefully grinds the grass root with his big teeth. The grass root contains a certain amount of water, which can also bring certain nutrients to the body.Leng Ergou took a long time to finish chewing his own grass roots, and then the two brothers next to him withdrew their eyes from staring at him.
Early the next morning, Chen Ergou was woken up, which was unique in his memory. He slept on the kang every day to save energy, and was only asked to sleep, and was never woken up.
"Go, follow." The father of the Leng family explained a word, and asked the mother-in-law to put on the best clothes and shoes in the house for the child, and then put on the ragged clothes outside. The father of the Leng family carried a shriveled little bundle on his back, It is the entire property of a family of five.
Leng Dali, Leng Ergou, and Leng Sanwa went out with their parents in silence. Leng's parents didn't explain to the children where they were going, why they left their hometown, and why they didn't leave earlier?The children of Leng's family didn't ask either, including Leng Dali who was said to be ten years old but looked only five years old, and Leng Ergou who was seven years old and several hundred years old.
The Leng family started off in the morning and walked slowly for nearly two hours before hiding in the abandoned village house to rest.Those who can walk have left, and the houses in the village are basically abandoned.The members of the Leng family are basically dead, and there are only five members left. Without the protection of the clan, the father of the Leng family dare not take the risk to go with other families, otherwise, if something happens, the Leng family must be unlucky first, maybe, just Attached to the Chinese meal of a certain big family, the real Chinese meal.
At this time, Leng Ergou deeply felt why the clan system can last for thousands of years. In the face of such an irresistible natural disaster, it is natural that there are many people and strength, and how can they survive without a group.
Having escaped the hottest sun at noon, the five members of Leng’s family went on the road again in the afternoon. The youngest Leng Sanwa walked for a whole day without crying, let alone arguing to be carried or hugged. This was walking in silence, and it was getting dark When it was time to walk, the mother of the Leng family carried the third baby on her back.At this time, the father of the Leng family cannot be disturbed. He is the only security guarantee for the family of five, and his physical strength cannot be wasted.
At night, they rested in the dilapidated and abandoned house again, and they ate the same food as at noon, which was grass roots and bark from the shriveled bundle of Leng's father.There is no way to light a fire at night. There are only five of them. No matter if they are discovered by humans or wild animals, they will be killed. In other words, people can also be called beasts now.
Leng Ergou doesn't know which season it belongs to now. Looking at the bright sun and high temperature outside, it should be summer, but drought, spring and autumn are not impossible.He didn't know where he was, his parents wouldn't tell him, and his family walked around the crowd, fearing that they would be caught and cooked, so he couldn't get some news from others.Just follow along in silence, not knowing where to go or where to go.
After walking for six days, the Leng family's father ate up all the things in the small bag no matter how economical he was, and Leng Sanwa couldn't walk anymore.The Leng family persisted for another day, and the Leng family's mother held the dying Leng Sanwa to her chest.
On the night of the seventh day, the father of the Leng family silently took Leng Sanwa out of the arms of the mother of the Leng family.
"Baby's father, baby's father..." Leng's mother cried, she didn't know that there was still water in her body that could flow out of her eyes.
"Last night, it was time to go." Leng's father said hoarsely.
"Bury him, bury him." Leng's mother begged in a low voice.
"I don't have the energy to dig a hole. Even if I'm buried, I'll be dug out to eat." The father of the Leng family sighed, and then went out with the child in his arms. The mother of the Leng family wept softly, and she had no reason to stop. He took care of his two sons, sat down and hugged the two children in his arms, his shoulders kept shaking.
Leng Dali looked at it suspiciously, but didn't make a sound. Leng Ergou knew that he didn't understand what his father was doing with Leng Sanwa, but Leng Ergou knew, so he shivered.
Easy to eat!
What a simple four words, Leng Ergou never imagined that he could see this incident with his own eyes in several lifetimes, and what he will bring back later will be a pot of broth. In this life, as long as the bottom line starts to drop, the Hopeless.When you start eating people, you will take it for granted that the weak are food and not the same kind. Even if you get out of drought and famine in the future, you will still not be a complete person.
Leng Ergou doesn't want to eat human flesh!
Of course, he is even more afraid that he will become a pot of food. He is seven years old now, and he is the weakest in his family. No matter how capable he is, he will be restricted by such a body. Leng's father and mother will treat him as a monster, and give them a reason to abandon him and use him. He is afraid that he will be another one who is carried out silently.
Leng's parents didn't know what happened in the end, Leng Ergou thought, the original body could live to such a big age without being distorted, he must not know what he was eating at that time, thanks to his young age.
Leng Ergou was very scared, he trembled with Leng's mother's sobbing, he raised his head slightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Mother, I'll wait for dad at the door, my brother's foot is broken, let him warm himself by the fire."
"Don't go far, just at the door, your father will bring you something to eat."
Leng Ergou nodded, and moved slowly to the door. This is their family of five, and now they are looking for a shelter for their family of four. It is a ruined temple. Those with a little ability would not come to snatch it, so they dared to build a small bonfire in a dark corner. Even such a small fire should be built in a small place blocked by three walls. Afraid of attracting attention.
Leng Ergou walked out of the ruined temple and headed south, running in the opposite direction to the north where Leng's family was going.Leng's family is going to the capital, at the foot of the emperor, there will be His Majesty and senior officials to help.
Leng Ergou didn't run away, he just walked slowly, and there was no extra emotion in his heart. He was not indignant. With Leng Sanwa already dead, his parents had no choice but to trade him for food. To survive, let alone two children.He thinks he is not qualified to criticize the Leng family's parents from above. He just doesn't want to eat or be eaten, so he left silently.
It doesn't matter if he left, the Leng family's parents should be able to walk faster without such a burden like him, and have a better chance of surviving. As for Leng Ergou, he believes that there is no unparalleled road, and he believes in his own ability.
Leng Ergou walked most of the night under the night wind and moonlight, caught a lizard with a piece of iron that he had hidden long ago, took out a flint and steel, burned a small handful of withered reeds, and roasted the lizard.Leng Ergou promised that this was the most embarrassing moment in his life, and Leng Ergoufei swore that he would never close his eyes casually.
Leng Ergou put on the best clothes at home. He said it was the best, but it was just a coarse cloth. It was rare that it was not patched. Leng Ergou walked to an abandoned village house, first checked that there was no one inside, and then carefully During the search, there was indeed no food in it, and then I carefully slept in a corner sheltered from the wind.He decided to hide at night and go out at night. He was alone, small and weak, so he couldn't take risks.
He was sure that Leng's parents would not look for him. Leng's father might sigh "smart boy". Leng Dali, who is older than him, is still happy for the delicious food, and Leng Ergou knows that he is worried for his life.You may also sigh "fool", a lonely child, what he can do, sooner or later is nothing but death.Leng Ergou doesn't care about these anymore.
Leng Ergou walked to the south with his own ability. It's not that he didn't encounter strong people on the way, but when he didn't need to hide his ability and he was young and thin as a cover, he could still save the day.After walking in silence for half a month, eating snakes, insects, rats and ants for half a month, green finally appeared in the scenery that Leng Ergou could see.
The scenery that entered the destination was shriveled khaki at first, then dark yellow with moisture, and then yellow-green. Today, Leng Ergou finally saw the verdant green. Leng Ergou decided that his favorite color in this life must be If it is green.
Leng Ergou walked forward quickly, he even saw a stream! ! !
Looking at the sparkling water surface, such a small stream where no fish and shrimps grow, makes the eyes of Leng Ergou hot. He has never been so excited to see rare treasures in the past.
Leng Ergou pounced on him and drank a few mouthfuls of water. He knew that drinking water like this was not good for a body that had been hungry and thirsty for a long time, but he still couldn't help it.He has been here for a month, and he always draws water from grass roots and tree bark. This is the first time he has drunk real flowing clean water.Leng Ergou tried to use thermal expansion and cold contraction to collect water in the morning and evening many times on the way, but all failed, which made Leng Ergou very frustrated.
Green is good, water is good!Leng Ergou first washed his body, washed the tattered clothes and worn-out shoes. He was wearing the rough cloth clothes that had no patches before, but now they were pickles. straw sandals.Leng Ergou is thankful that he learned Liu Bei when he was bored, because he was curious about why an emperor would weave straw sandals, so he had such skills.
Dressing himself up again, Leng Ergou took out the iron piece he had sharpened on the road and the long knife he had pulled out from the dead man, and went along the stream to the deep mountain.
Leng Ergou was very careful along the way, afraid of bumping into people.A long knife was useless in the hands of a thin and short child of his.At this time, ironware was a controlled item, and the hoes and sickles in farmers' homes were important assets passed down from generation to generation, let alone such a shining big knife.This is the same as if you are holding a gun or a machine gun in your hand in modern society. Isn’t it just looking for a draw?
Fortunately for Leng Ergou, it was probably because of the proximity to the dry area. He went up from the north slope, and there was no one there. He shot a rabbit and a pheasant. Leng Ergou wept with joy, and he finally ate decent meat.
Wash a thin slate with stream water, heat the slate with a fire, and knock a few bird eggs on it, which is a fried egg.
As far as Leng Ergou's current stomach is concerned, it can't adapt to a large amount of barbecue, but he doesn't have cooking utensils, so he can only make clay pots.Leng Ergou had learned pottery in an arty way before, and burned a crooked clay pot with obviously inappropriate soil.But no matter how hard you try, the first meal can't wait for the birth of the clay pot, so the first meal, Leng Ergou still eats barbecued rabbit meat, and it seems that it is good to eat barbecue for a month with the sweet stream water I ate a lot.
The next day, the clay pot was formed, and Leng Ergou stewed the pheasant before going hunting.He had to take good care of himself in the mountains before he could go out to meet people, otherwise the game would be over.Escaped from the drought after all the hardships, don't carelessly die in underestimating the enemy, this is the experience summed up by Leng Ergou in several lifetimes.
Hunting was not an easy task for Leng Ergou with small arms and short legs. He killed two more rabbits and then stopped. Now those large animals are not within his reach.
Leng Ergou went back to the stream, drank his own chicken soup, and put on his dry clothes. His task today is to find a place to rest, and he can no longer sleep under a tree. What if it rains? Do, he has no right to be sick now.
Wanting not to disturb people and not to be attacked by animals, Leng Ergou walked deeper and deeper, and finally found a stone cave on the cliff of the deep mountain. This place should be formed naturally. There is only one path to go up. But that path.There is a cliff next to it, and there are no traces of animals frequenting here, and there are no traces of raptors living there. Leng Ergou dug out the herbs collected on the way to find a habitat, smashed them, and sprinkled them around the cave. There were no raptors and raptors. What I am most afraid of are snakes, insects, rats and ants. After eating these things for more than half a month, I will never want to see them again in this life.
He went back the same way, went to get his rabbit, and carried his rattan pannier on his back. He saw a lot of herbs and practical materials on the way here, and he should bring them back. Leng Ergou still lives in this deep mountain. Let's get to the bottom of it!
"Hehe, is it possible that you still want to never get up for the rest of your life?" Bai Pao mocked.
"It's just taking a break, even Zhou Papi is not enough to describe you."
Bai Pao curled his lips indifferently, he knows how to poke Wang Li's sore feet best: "Aren't you going to see the original body's wish?"
As soon as Wang Li waved his hand, the bottle representing Jia Qiong's soul flew over. The soul inside was no longer warm and pure white, but a little gray. "Sure enough," said the prince to himself.
"People's wish is just to be a wealthy idler and marry a stunning beauty. Are you meddling in the royal family and court disputes, and are you still trying to be satisfied with yourself?"
"Wealth, the richest people in the world are businessmen, and the most expensive is the royal family. Jia Qiong's fate is at stake, and I don't want to work hard to make another rebellion.

At night, they rested in the dilapidated and abandoned house again, and they ate the same food as at noon, which was grass roots and bark from the shriveled bundle of Leng's father.There is no way to light a fire at night. There are only five of them. No matter if they are discovered by humans or wild animals, they will be killed. In other words, people can also be called beasts now.
Leng Ergou doesn't know which season it belongs to now. Looking at the bright sun and high temperature outside, it should be summer, but drought, spring and autumn are not impossible.He didn't know where he was, his parents wouldn't tell him, and his family walked around the crowd, fearing that they would be caught and cooked, so he couldn't get some news from others.Just follow along in silence, not knowing where to go or where to go.
After walking for six days, the Leng family's father ate up all the things in the small bag no matter how economical he was, and Leng Sanwa couldn't walk anymore.The Leng family persisted for another day, and the Leng family's mother held the dying Leng Sanwa to her chest.
On the night of the seventh day, the father of the Leng family silently took Leng Sanwa out of the arms of the mother of the Leng family.
"Baby's father, baby's father..." Leng's mother cried, she didn't know that there was still water in her body that could flow out of her eyes.
"Last night, it was time to go." Leng's father said hoarsely.
"Bury him, bury him." Leng's mother begged in a low voice.
"I don't have the energy to dig a hole. Even if I'm buried, I'll be dug out to eat." The father of the Leng family sighed, and then went out with the child in his arms. The mother of the Leng family wept softly, and she had no reason to stop. He took care of his two sons, sat down and hugged the two children in his arms, his shoulders kept shaking.
Leng Dali looked at it suspiciously, but didn't make a sound. Leng Ergou knew that he didn't understand what his father was doing with Leng Sanwa, but Leng Ergou knew, so he shivered.
Easy to eat!
What a simple four words, Leng Ergou never imagined that he could see this incident with his own eyes in several lifetimes, and what he will bring back later will be a pot of broth. In this life, as long as the bottom line starts to drop, the Hopeless.When you start eating people, you will take it for granted that the weak are food and not the same kind. Even if you get out of drought and famine in the future, you will still not be a complete person.
Leng Ergou doesn't want to eat human flesh!
Of course, he is even more afraid that he will become a pot of food. He is seven years old now, and he is the weakest in his family. No matter how capable he is, he will be restricted by such a body. Leng's father and mother will treat him as a monster, and give them a reason to abandon him and use him. He is afraid that he will be another one who is carried out silently.
Leng's parents didn't know what happened in the end, Leng Ergou thought, the original body could live to such a big age without being distorted, he must not know what he was eating at that time, thanks to his young age.
Leng Ergou was very scared, he trembled with Leng's mother's sobbing, he raised his head slightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Mother, I'll wait for dad at the door, my brother's foot is broken, let him warm himself by the fire."
"Don't go far, just at the door, your father will bring you something to eat."
Leng Ergou nodded, and moved slowly to the door. This is their family of five, and now they are looking for a shelter for their family of four. It is a ruined temple. Those with a little ability would not come to snatch it, so they dared to build a small bonfire in a dark corner. Even such a small fire should be built in a small place blocked by three walls. Afraid of attracting attention.
Leng Ergou walked out of the ruined temple and headed south, running in the opposite direction to the north where Leng's family was going.Leng's family is going to the capital, at the foot of the emperor, there will be His Majesty and senior officials to help.
Leng Ergou didn't run away, he just walked slowly, and there was no extra emotion in his heart. He was not indignant. With Leng Sanwa already dead, his parents had no choice but to trade him for food. To survive, let alone two children.He thinks he is not qualified to criticize the Leng family's parents from above. He just doesn't want to eat or be eaten, so he left silently.
It doesn't matter if he left, the Leng family's parents should be able to walk faster without such a burden like him, and have a better chance of surviving. As for Leng Ergou, he believes that there is no unparalleled road, and he believes in his own ability.
Leng Ergou walked most of the night under the night wind and moonlight, caught a lizard with a piece of iron that he had hidden long ago, took out a flint and steel, burned a small handful of withered reeds, and roasted the lizard.Leng Ergou promised that this was the most embarrassing moment in his life, and Leng Ergoufei swore that he would never close his eyes casually.
Leng Ergou put on the best clothes at home. He said it was the best, but it was just a coarse cloth. It was rare that it was not patched. Leng Ergou walked to an abandoned village house, first checked that there was no one inside, and then carefully During the search, there was indeed no food in it, and then I carefully slept in a corner sheltered from the wind.He decided to hide at night and go out at night. He was alone, small and weak, so he couldn't take risks.
He was sure that Leng's parents would not look for him. Leng's father might sigh "smart boy". Leng Dali, who is older than him, is still happy for the delicious food, and Leng Ergou knows that he is worried for his life.You may also sigh "fool", a lonely child, what he can do, sooner or later is nothing but death.Leng Ergou doesn't care about these anymore.
Leng Ergou walked to the south with his own ability. It's not that he didn't encounter strong people on the way, but when he didn't need to hide his ability and he was young and thin as a cover, he could still save the day.After walking in silence for half a month, eating snakes, insects, rats and ants for half a month, green finally appeared in the scenery that Leng Ergou could see.
The scenery that entered the destination was shriveled khaki at first, then dark yellow with moisture, and then yellow-green. Today, Leng Ergou finally saw the verdant green. Leng Ergou decided that his favorite color in this life must be If it is green.
Leng Ergou walked forward quickly, he even saw a stream! ! !
Looking at the sparkling water surface, such a small stream where no fish and shrimps grow, makes the eyes of Leng Ergou hot. He has never been so excited to see rare treasures in the past.
Leng Ergou pounced on him and drank a few mouthfuls of water. He knew that drinking water like this was not good for a body that had been hungry and thirsty for a long time, but he still couldn't help it.He has been here for a month, and he always draws water from grass roots and tree bark. This is the first time he has drunk real flowing clean water.Leng Ergou tried to use thermal expansion and cold contraction to collect water in the morning and evening many times on the way, but all failed, which made Leng Ergou very frustrated.
Green is good, water is good!Leng Ergou first washed his body, washed the tattered clothes and worn-out shoes. He was wearing the rough cloth clothes that had no patches before, but now they were pickles. straw sandals.Leng Ergou is thankful that he learned Liu Bei when he was bored, because he was curious about why an emperor would weave straw sandals, so he had such skills.
Dressing himself up again, Leng Ergou took out the iron piece he had sharpened on the road and the long knife he had pulled out from the dead man, and went along the stream to the deep mountain.
Leng Ergou was very careful along the way, afraid of bumping into people.A long knife was useless in the hands of a thin and short child of his.At this time, ironware was a controlled item, and the hoes and sickles in farmers' homes were important assets passed down from generation to generation, let alone such a shining big knife.This is the same as if you are holding a gun or a machine gun in your hand in modern society. Isn’t it just looking for a draw?
Fortunately for Leng Ergou, it was probably because of the proximity to the dry area. He went up from the north slope, and there was no one there. He shot a rabbit and a pheasant. Leng Ergou wept with joy, and he finally ate decent meat.
Wash a thin slate with stream water, heat the slate with a fire, and knock a few bird eggs on it, which is a fried egg.
As far as Leng Ergou's current stomach is concerned, it can't adapt to a large amount of barbecue, but he doesn't have cooking utensils, so he can only make clay pots.Leng Ergou had learned pottery in an arty way before, and burned a crooked clay pot with obviously inappropriate soil.But no matter how hard you try, the first meal can't wait for the birth of the clay pot, so the first meal, Leng Ergou still eats barbecued rabbit meat, and it seems that it is good to eat barbecue for a month with the sweet stream water I ate a lot.
The next day, the clay pot was formed, and Leng Ergou stewed the pheasant before going hunting.He had to take good care of himself in the mountains before he could go out to meet people, otherwise the game would be over.Escaped from the drought after all the hardships, don't carelessly die in underestimating the enemy, this is the experience summed up by Leng Ergou in several lifetimes.
Hunting was not an easy task for Leng Ergou with small arms and short legs. He killed two more rabbits and then stopped. Now those large animals are not within his reach.
Leng Ergou went back to the stream, drank his own chicken soup, and put on his dry clothes. His task today is to find a place to rest, and he can no longer sleep under a tree. What if it rains? Do, he has no right to be sick now.
Wanting not to disturb people and not to be attacked by animals, Leng Ergou walked deeper and deeper, and finally found a stone cave on the cliff of the deep mountain. This place should be formed naturally. There is only one path to go up. But that path.There is a cliff next to it, and there are no traces of animals frequenting here, and there are no traces of raptors living there. Leng Ergou dug out the herbs collected on the way to find a habitat, smashed them, and sprinkled them around the cave. There were no raptors and raptors. What I am most afraid of are snakes, insects, rats and ants. After eating these things for more than half a month, I will never want to see them again in this life.
He went back the same way, went to get his rabbit, and carried his rattan pannier on his back. He saw a lot of herbs and practical materials on the way here, and he should bring them back. Leng Ergou still lives in this deep mountain. Let's get to the bottom of it!
