Zhang Ning walked along the sheep intestine path for more than an hour, and when he was so tired that he was about to despair, he suddenly saw wisps of cooking smoke in the col ahead. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He ran like a chicken for about ten minutes, and finally came to a poor village.

There were only a dozen or so houses in the village, most of which were crumbling adobe houses, and there was a thatched shack in the corner of the village, and I don't know if it was the house of a guy who was not as good as a dog.

The villagers were all dressed in plain clothes, and the two children who were peeing and playing in the mud at the base of the wall turned out to be completely naked, with a standard image of malnutrition.

By this time it was already getting dark. Zhang Ning thought to himself, thanks to his buddies playing basketball, otherwise he would have to take a break from cooking halfway, and he would definitely have to sleep in the wilderness. Although this mountain village is a little poorer, you can always find a place to stay, so as not to rain at night and become a soup chicken.

Zhang Ning swallowed dryly—but unfortunately his throat was smoking, and there was nothing to swallow—and he reluctantly said to a nearby villager: "That, uncle, is there any water?"

The uncle walked away without squinting. He asked the other villagers about it, but everyone ignored him.

I thought that my sunny and handsome appearance would attract a large group of villagers to come forward to watch, but who knew that no one paid attention to it sadly.

When he was considering the possibility of fetching water for himself, he saw a half-grown man about his age rushing over, grabbed his hand and shouted: "You're all right, it's going to be dark, I'll look for you if you don't come back! Why is your hair so short?"

After finishing speaking, he wondered: Didn't you say that you were going to fish? As he spoke, he looked back and forth in front of and behind him, "Where's Shanwang?"

Zhang Ning scratched his head and just said: I...

The young man said impatiently: "Throw it away, I'll do it again!" After speaking, he pulled his arm and looked at him carefully: "You look stronger than before, why are you finally willing to take a bath?"

Zhang Ning's heart was beating wildly, is there another person who is so similar to himself? Is he in tune with him? Will there be a dirty version of dementia or a neurotic version of "Zhang Ning" in his bathroom?

At this time, in the door of an adobe house, a middle-aged village woman stretched out half of her body and shouted to the two: "Erzhu, the dog baby is back, give him a vegetable nest." ”

The young man named Erzhu agreed, and ran back to the earthen house, and in a blink of an eye, he came out with a clay pot and two black vegetable nests. He said to Zhang Ning: Dog baby, let's go to your place to eat, I also brought salty pimples. After finishing speaking, he walked towards the corner of the village, Zhang Ning had no choice but to follow the second pillar of the acute son, he was so thirsty that he was about to become dehydrated.

Erzhu walked straight into the extremely simple shack.

Zhang Ning followed, looking at the shelter where the wind was ventilated on all sides, the grass pile was used as a bed, and half a piece of wood was used as a chair, and he was speechless for a while.

The two pillars sat down unceremoniously on the only "chair", bit a vegetable nest by themselves, and handed the clay pot and another vegetable nest to Zhang Ning.

Zhang Ning took it with both hands, his mouth was really dry, he took a sip of water with his eyes closed, the bitter and astringent taste in his mouth was really unbearable, his throat refused to swallow, and squirted out directly. Zhang Ning thought to himself, no wonder the village is so poor, it seems that this area is saline-alkali land.

Erzhu asked him strangely what was wrong, and Zhang Ning could only choke on it.

I saw Erzhu gobbling up the vegetable nest, and occasionally biting the disgusting-looking black-brown lumpy salty lump in his left hand, and ended the battle in three or two clicks. After he finished eating sweetly, he poured a stomach of water from the crockpot, and handed the remaining half of the salty lump to Zhang Ning, who was busy thanking him.

Erzhu didn't care, he took back the salty pimple and stood up, stared at the vegetable nest in Zhang Ning's hand, swallowed his spittle, and said: Why don't you eat? Zhang Ning hurriedly explained: I'm not too hungry, let's save it for the night.

Erzhu turned around and walked out of the shed, and said: Then I'll go back first, tomorrow morning I will find you to go with you to collect firewood, you have to take me to the place you said last time, we will get the drill wood worms out and burn them to eat!

Zhang Ning opened his mouth, he wanted to go to Erzhu's house to spend the night, but suddenly remembered that everyone in that kind of house slept together as a family, so he quickly swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

He saw that Erzhu was far away, sat on the pile of firewood and grass by himself, smelled the dinner in his hand, and took a small bite, the rough noodles were sandwiched with bran and wild vegetables, and it felt like gnawing a mouthful of sand wrapped in rotten grass, and he really didn't dare to swallow it.

Zhang Ning hurriedly spit out the scum in his mouth, looked at the crockpot and didn't dare to rinse his mouth, with a mouthful of strange smell, he lay down on an empty stomach.

By this time it was already completely dark, and there was no light in the village.

Zhang Ning lay silently for a while, suddenly remembered something, felt out of the shed and looked at the night sky, he didn't recognize a single constellation, there was no North Star, no Big Dipper, and no Milky Way.

He sighed and went back to lie down in the firewood, thinking in his heart that this day's adventure was really wonderful. Maybe you wake up and find that it's just a dream, so go to sleep. After walking on the mountain road all afternoon, Zhang Ning was indeed tired, even if he was thirsty and hungry, his mouth was full of strange smells, and his legs and feet were sore, he still fell asleep quickly.

In the early morning of the next day, there was still dew hanging on the blades of grass, Zhang Ning was dragged out of the "quilt" by the second pillar, he handed Zhang Ning a stone axe, and walked to the mountain road. Zhang Ning followed behind dizzily, feeling thirsty and hungry again, thinking of the luxurious life of other people who were surrounded by beautiful women in fine clothes and food as soon as they opened their eyes, and was so depressed that they wanted to take revenge on society.

Not far away, Zhang Ning was so hungry that he couldn't walk a single step. Seeing him like this, Erzhu had to take out one of the two vegetable cakes that Erzhu Niang brought.

This cake is a close relative of Caiwowo, the difference is that there is a little more vegetable oil and salt. Zhang Ning devoured three bites without any temperament, took a water bag made of some kind of animal skin, and poured half a bag of water. There was food in his stomach, Zhang Ning eased up for a while, felt that he no longer had low blood sugar, stood up and motioned to Erzhu to continue going up the mountain, Erzhu looked at him and didn't say anything, the two walked for about an hour, and came to the mountainside with more shrubs.

Erzhu began to chop wood, his movements were sharp, Zhang Ning learned from his appearance and was clumsy and awkward, he was deeply speechless for the stone axe in his hand, am I dressed in the Stone Age? Of course, he didn't ask Erzhu why he didn't use the iron axe, he was not so confused as to ask, "Why don't you eat minced meat?"

It took most of the day, the two of them, to be precise, finished cutting firewood, tied the firewood with straw rope, took out the remaining cakes from their arms, and ruthlessly broke half of them to Zhang Ning, but Zhang Ning refused. On the premise that he would not starve to death, Zhang Ning was very reluctant to eat this kind of food anymore.

He had seen a number of wild fruits along the way, and after the two pillars had identified them, several of them were edible, and he had already collected a bunch of them, and took them out of the bamboo basket behind him and gnawed them.

After Erzhu finished eating the cake, he mentioned what he said yesterday about finding insects. Zhang Ning said that he couldn't remember it clearly, but he still went to the forest together.

Zhang Ning remembered that I don't know if it was in the textbook or on TV, there would be insect droppings under the insect-eaten trees, and after carefully searching for dozens of trees, he really found two diseased trees, and the two of them cut and dug and caught more than a dozen insects.

Erzhu knocked out the sparks with a flint and ignited the velvet, added hay and wood to it, and soon set up a fire, and then used a thin wooden stick to pass through the meat worms, put them on the fire and burned them crackling, the most wonderful thing is that the two pillars magically pinched out a little salt and sprinkled it on the roasted insects! This delicacy is so incomparable that Zhang Ning wants to swallow his tongue. Zhang Ning complained in his heart that Bei Ye had a strange taste, and he wanted to pursue the taste of bursting pulp, he felt that the roasted food was extremely delicious and nutritious.

The two and a half children were growing their bodies, where were a few insects enough, and the two continued to find some grass seeds and wild vegetables to eat, among which there were even wild vegetables that Zhang Ning also knew.

After the two barely ate, Erzhu picked more wild fruits and vegetables, wrapped a few insects he saved with grass, and took Zhang Ning back to the village with firewood.

Because Zhang Ning found that his food seemed to be supplied by the Erzhu family, he was considered to be working for others, so he blushed a little when he looked at the firewood on his shoulder, which was only one-third of the Erzhu. Fortunately, the sky had already darkened, Erzhu Niang took the firewood cut by the two, and when she saw the food brought back by Erzhu, she hurriedly called Sanzhu and Liunier, and invited Zhang Ning to have dinner together.

The second day after Zhang Ning crossed over was spent so fullly.
