Chapter 13: First Action
"Sister, An An, brother is back. ”
When Guan Ping'an heard Guan Tianyou's voice, he was so frightened that he hurriedly put the soles and needles and threads in his hands into the basket and pushed them to the corner of the kang tail.
Guan Tianyou rushed into the east house with a smile on his face, and raised his little arm in front of the kang, "An An, our mother has caught a lot of loaches, and we can eat them tomorrow morning." ”
"Brother, you wait. Saying that, Guan Ping'an got up, slid along the edge of the kang to the small bench, put on cloth shoes, and ran to the outhouse.
The men of the Guan family will work as a carpenter, especially Uncle Guan, he likes to tinker with a wooden plate or barrel or something, that is, the trees on the mountain have been public in recent years, so he stopped, otherwise he can make a little money or change something in the market.
Guan Ping'an carried a wooden bucket to the back room, and scooped a few scoops of water one after another with a gourd scoop, and finally let a bag of loaches and yellow eels move in.
Guan Tianyou's little eyes were full of envy, and then he straightened his waist proudly: This amazing sister is his!
Guan Ping'an didn't know that he was in a hurry, so he asked her mother what she was doing today, and whether her brother had met her father, and frowned when she learned about it.
Is it really farm work?
Her mother didn't have a good rest last night, so she should be tired.
"Sister, let's go out and play. ”
Guan Ping'an smiled and shook his head, "Mother let me sleep inside, brother, don't you sleep?"
"Then you sleep, I'll have to wait until it gets dark. Guan Tianyou looked at her hesitantly, "Can you be at home alone?" I want to go out and play." ”
Guan Ping'an pointed to the bucket on the ground, "I have to guard it, brother, go play." If anyone bullies you, you beat him, but you can't run back first and then find a chance to take revenge. ”
&
Sent away Guan Tianyou, she couldn't stay for a while, came to the front of the house, raised her head and looked at the mountains on three sides with a pair of bright eyes.
Especially one of the highest mountain ranges. From here, I saw that the top of the mountain was entangled in mist, and the looming peak went straight into the sky, as if it was connected with the heavenly realm.
Immediately, she glanced regretfully at her own pair of small short legs.
If you want to say that she has faded from 16 years old to 6 years old, what makes her the least accustomed to is undoubtedly her small body, and she can create food and housing conditions, but only this height has to grow up slowly.
The whole courtyard was silent.
Before the evening is about to set, not only the adults will not come back, but even the cousins who go out have to dig wild vegetables and hunt pigweed to hurry home for dinner.
Guan Ping'an looked at the main room in front of him, but he didn't know if Westinghouse, whether her good uncle was still raising his waist, and where did her wayward father go?
After standing for a while, unable to resist his curiosity about the new world, Guan Ping'an finally ran to the outhouse of the main courtyard with a pair of small legs.
The little man was in the outhouse, satisfied with finding the only firewood knife in the house, took a thin hemp rope, and poured it back into the backyard with great dignity.
As soon as she pushed open the back door of the fence yard, according to her memory, she deliberately avoided the area where she used to dig wild vegetables this time, and walked straight east from the back door.
Walking and watching, it was not far from a small river, and at the fork in the Maomao road, a small figure turned a corner and went up to the foot of the mountain.
Wangshan ran a dead horse.
It seems to be close at hand, but before she reaches the foot of the mountain, Guan Ping'an's calves began to ache, this is still her mental method, fortunately, this small body is very qualified.
Malutun is also known as Gushantun, as the name suggests, it is surrounded by mountains, and the only exit is the road leading to the outside world in the village.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, Guan Ping'an touched the little hat on his head, glanced around, smiled slyly, and stepped on the soft withered grass and fallen leaves and the tender grass that had just emerged under his feet......
When she came to the foot of a big tree, she looked up at the branches, and if it weren't for the firewood knife, she almost stumbled backwards.
So angry that she stretched out her calf and kicked it against the tree, the branch shook for a while, and she stopped with a shocked face, but don't kick down the tree, if you are caught, you will be criticized, she will also become a little monster.
The big tree still stands upright as before, Guan Ping'an's eyes show nostalgia, recalling that when she was a child, her master took her to climb the tree and hunt with a smile on his face......
Guan Ping'an, who was gloomy and sad, quickly restrained his emotions, rubbed a pair of small hands, had both hands and feet, and suddenly climbed to the branch and stood firm.
Finally able to stand on a high place and look at the entire Ma Liutun from afar, she couldn't help but smile.
In the fields, the villagers are busy with farm work, and piles of green smoke are swaying in the sky...... The old locust tree at the entrance of the village beckoned to the outside of the village like a human......
The tranquil village is like a paradise, and she finally returns to her farm life.
Guan Ping'an clapped a pair of small hands with satisfaction, slipped down the tree, grabbed a firewood knife and split a branch into a wooden stick and a small stick with a sharp end.
Tie the small stick with a fine hemp rope and hang it diagonally on the side, but I forgot my small height for a while, so I had no choice but to do it all over again, and it finally succeeded.
So she hung a small stick on her side, and with a firewood knife in one hand and a stick in the other, she walked slowly to an old forest in the lower depression.
The forest is quiet, with occasional birds chirping overhead, and the leaves have not grown after a winter, so the light in the forest is unobstructed.
Hearing her mother's thoughts about eggs before, her heart moved, especially the little brother who looked at the loaches and drooled.
If you dig two traps in the depths of the old woods, you will not be fooled by unlucky pheasants and hares. If you're lucky, you might find a few snakes, but they're real meat.
There is not much time left for her, from the time she went out at home to now, it should be almost an hour before she sees the sun, Guan Ping'an is moving forward while knocking with a stick......
Knocking on the grass here, the pheasant that caused a frightened bird to appear in the depths of the opposite side soared in all directions, and she was so pleased that she grabbed and threw it to her side with her little hand......
As a result, the stick fell far to the ground, and the pheasant flew.
Guan Ping'an was stunned.
- A pair of big round eyes, blinked in disbelief, she actually dried up the meat, it was meat, fragrant meat.
All of a sudden, her little short legs ran vigorously. What does it mean that there is a pheasant? It means that there are one and there are two, and she must find its companions as soon as possible, and by the way, find its little darlings.
On the way, she accidentally trampled on several herbs that had just grown tenaciously upward, and the corners of her eyes twitched in distress, this is money.
But no matter how much money there is, no matter how much money there is, it's still not as good as real meat, right? There will always be herbs, and this account was thought out by her to the depths of the forest.
When he came to the take-off point of the chicken, Guan Ping'an searched for it, and finally found a place where six wild eggs were lying, looked at his body, and decided to dig a trap first.
A huge body of strength is one of the things she is most proud of. Look, the firewood knife splits, first chop out the wooden shovel, insert it into the ground, line up one by one, two, three, and then pry it, a small pit is formed, and then use the wooden shovel to shovel a few times, and insert a small stick with a pointed tip to the bottom of the pit, and spread the weeds.
It's done!
