Volume 1 The Long Mountain Road Chapter 39 The Flowers
Zhong Hansheng's mother and daughter settled down in Shanghe Village.
After eating a full stomach and washing away the sludge on his face, Zhong Hansheng was already burly, and at this time he looked like an adult man, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, except for being malnourished and slightly thin, his appearance and appearance were excellent.
Although Lu Orion is kind in nature, but the thinking is a bit old-fashioned, patriarchal, with his wife Lu Song after marriage only one daughter is Xiaohua, a mountain hunting craft has no heirs, now happened to meet Zhong Hansheng, looking at the young man is very spirited, tall enough, the skeleton is big enough, is a good seedling, as long as the conduct is good in the future, then you can be accepted as an apprentice, if it is a fate, and then further accepted as a righteous son.
Lu Lihu was skillful, took Zhong Hansheng to cut down two trees on Daqing Mountain, cut off the branches with an axe, repaired them to the same thickness with a woodcutter, chiseled out the mortise with a stone chisel, and then inserted six stout wooden stakes into the pre-dug soil pit and tamped them, and used a wooden stick and a stone chisel to punch holes at the end of each wood.
Then the slightly thinner wood is used as a skeleton, trimmed to the right length, and inlaid into the square holes, and the wooden house has a skeleton.
Then they cut down wood of different thicknesses on the mountain, fixed it on the skeleton, and filled the gaps with thatch, and the wooden house took shape.
Lu Lihu picked hemp, took out the wooden winding car and spindle, and asked his wife Luzon to spin the hemp into semi-finished hemp rope blanks through the winding car for later use, and operated the spindle himself, and twisted the wound hemp rope blanks together through the passing car to make hemp rope.
The spindle is shaped like a dumbbell with a hook in the middle, and when using the spindle, you should sit on the hillside, lean forward, hold the spinning hammer in your hand, and drop it in the air, with a twine blank on your head. First wrap the hemp rope blank on the hook, hold the hemp rope blank on the hook in one hand, pull it with one hand, the spinning hammer will rotate up, and then keep pulling the thread and twisting the thread with both hands on it, and the rope will continue to lengthen, and when the thread reaches a certain length, it will be wrapped around the spinning hammer, and then turn and twist again, and repeat the operation.
Operating the spindle is very interesting, it seems simple, but Zhong Hansheng can't learn anything, while Xiaohua draws a scoop according to the gourd, and he is very proficient in half a day.
The spindle operation requires skill, and the folding makes Zhong Hansheng have a headache, and he can't learn it, so he smiled and watched it from the side.
The ingenuity lies in the fact that the spindle must rotate for a long time, and the top and bottom must also be vertical, otherwise the hemp rope will be loose and of different thicknesses.
This handmade hemp rope is very strong and durable, and the wooden house is tightly tied up and down, left and right, and Zhong Hansheng's mother and daughter have a place to live.
Zhong Hansheng often followed behind Lu Lihu, learned to do farm work, accompanied Xiaohua to herd sheep, and Lu Orion occasionally carried a sandblasted earthen gun and took Qin Shanhai into the mountains to hunt, which was Zhong Hansheng's happiest time.
It's the beginning of July, the weather is hot, the mountains are full of rape flowers, Zhong Hansheng can eat a full stomach, and he has no yellow muscles and thin muscles in those days of escape, and occasionally he can follow his life-saving benefactor Uncle Lu into the mountains to hunt, mix some game to eat, and his whole body is also full of vitality, a fierce man plunges into the Daqing River, and can swim two back and forth in one breath!
Zhong Hansheng often dreams at night, dreaming of his father's last flustered look at him, and he feels extremely sad in his heart.
After dawn, I saw my mother by my side, and I was glad that the mother and daughter were able to meet a kind person and survive.
Xiaohua is a nickname, Xiaohua has no big name, this year is just fifteen years old, two braids walk and shake.
Since Zhong Hansheng came to Shanghe Village, Xiaohua has been subjected to seedlings.
Xiaohua often herds sheep, sits on the hillside alone, sits for a long time, watching the rape flowers blown by the wind together, just like the waves of the Daqing River. Xiaohua loves to pick a rape flower and pin it in her hair, Zhong Hansheng felt naïve and funny when she saw it, so he laughed at her as a "rape flower".
Xiaohuaxin said, the boy from a foreign country, at first my father asked me to call him Brother Hansheng, but then he didn't call him brother, because this Brother Hansheng didn't have a brother, and when he was free, he came over to make trouble.
Xiaohua is afraid of frogs, and even more afraid of snakes and insects on the mountain, Zhong Hansheng has a snake tied to his waist, and he comes to Xiaohua with a frog in each hand.
When Xiaohua saw clearly the snake wriggling around Zhong Hansheng's waist and the frog struggling in his hands, he screamed in fright and ran away, but Zhong Hansheng laughed behind his back.
Xiaohua squatted at the door of the house and cried, but Zhong Hansheng ran over to apologize with a red face, Xiaohua just ignored him, and said that this person is really bad!
On this day, Xiaohua was still herding sheep on the hillside, Zhong Hansheng swam around in the Daqing River, and just got ashore wet, he heard a scream, "Help!"
Zhong Hansheng listened to the direction from which the voice came, which was where Xiaohua often herded sheep, picked up a branch casually, and ran over.
Xiaohua screamed in fright because she saw a light brown wild boar, she had heard her father say that this kind of wild boar in the mountains was extremely ferocious, and even wolves and tigers were not opponents, so she didn't know what to do for a while.
The wild boar looked at the flock of sheep behind Xiaohua and slowly walked over, Xiaohua's scream angered it, lowered its head and bared its fangs, and rushed towards Xiaohua with a strange scream.
This time made Xiaohua frightened, in the crisis, I don't know where the power came from, and suddenly fell to the side, avoiding the attack of the wild boar.
Xiaohua's body lost its balance, fell on the ground, and had no strength to stand up at all, the wild boar flicked its tail, took a few steps backwards to accumulate strength, and lowered its head and bumped into Xiaohua.
In the moment of lightning, Zhong Hansheng had already run over at this time, and when he saw that it was a wild boar, he knew that the branch in his hand was useless, because he had heard Uncle Lu say that the skin of this wild boar was very hard, and it was like wearing a pair of armor on its body.
Seeing that Xiaohua was about to be hit by a wild boar, Zhong Hansheng had an idea, lifted the stones under his feet, raised his hands to run a few steps, and smashed at the wild boar like a slam dunk.
A shrill strange cry sounded, and the wild boar was in pain, shook its head, and turned its target to Zhong Hansheng.
"Rape flowers, hurry, go up the tree!" Zhong Hansheng shouted, pointing to a big tree not far away.
Xiaohua got up and looked back, "Brother Hansheng!"
"Quick, don't look back, run, climb the tree!" Zhong Hansheng shouted.
In the blink of an eye, the wild boar collided with him, and Zhong Hansheng was defenseless, so he could only rely on the flexibility of his body to dodge.
Xiaohua ran to the big tree and tried twice, but she didn't climb it. "Brother Hansheng, I can't climb trees!"
Zhong Hansheng dodged the attack of the wild boar again, his body swayed from side to side, stalemate with the wild boar, and glanced at Xiaohua again, sweating profusely.
Zhong Hansheng ran in the opposite direction, trying to lure the wild boar away, but the wild boar failed to attack several times, and also went crazy, screaming and chasing after him.
Zhong Hansheng noticed that although this wild boar was fierce, the speed was not as terrifying as Uncle Lu said, and he could still run with it at first, but after a few laps, Zhong Hansheng was tired and out of breath, and the wild boar seemed to be extremely patient, and the speed did not slow down at all, and he was about to be caught up after him.
There was a dirt slope not far ahead, Zhong Hansheng collapsed and fell to the side of the dirt slope, and the wild boar flew over his head and dropped a head of dirt.
turned around and ran back, but before he had time to look back, the wild boar actually "whoosh!" and ran past him, heading straight for Xiaohua.
Zhong Hansheng was in a hurry, going around in circles with this beast, and he thought that he could hold on for a few rounds, and let Xiaohua, who had no power to tie the chicken, deal with this beast, there was really no way, only to be knocked to the ground.
The physical exertion was too great to outrun the wild boar for a while, so he opened his mouth and shouted: "Rape flower! This beast can't turn when it runs, and circles around the tree!"
Xiaohua heard this in a panic and understood the meaning, seeing the wild boar rushing in front of her, she felt the hairs on her body stand up, and held the trunk of the tree with both hands, ready to dodge this attack.
Zhong Hansheng anxiously stared at the situation on the field, watching Xiaohua still be dexterous, and circled around the tree for half a circle, but he could be regarded as avoiding the wild boar's sprint, but his legs were weak in fright, and he fell to the side.
Ran to the edge of the tree, lifted Xiaohua's back, and pulled her up, "Hold on!" Zhong Hansheng squatted down and hugged Xiaohua's legs, and slammed it up, Xiaohua grabbed the branch sticking out above with both hands.
The girl's arm was weak, and she was frightened, but her arm grabbed the branch, and her body had no strength to climb up, and the wild boar at this time was already impatient, and rushed over with fangs again, and had the momentum of not bumping into people and not stopping.
Zhong Hansheng only cared about sending Xiaohua to the tree, and was defenseless against the wild boar's attack, holding Xiaohua's legs and feet with both hands, Xiaohua borrowed his strength and climbed one foot onto the branch, which temporarily stabilized his body.
Xiaohua only felt the emptiness of the other foot, Zhong Hansheng's hand supporting the foot was gone, and his hands hurriedly worked hard to stabilize his body.
He held the branch with both arms, one foot on the branch and one foot in the air, and looked down with his eyes.
This glance looked down, and Xiaohua's tears flowed out.
Because Zhong Hansheng was hit by a wild boar in order to help her up, his legs were covered with blood, and his calves were visibly deformed.
"Brother Hansheng, I'll go down and save you!" Xiaohua shouted.
"Don't move, rape flower! Catch it! You'll kill me if you come down!" In a panic, Zhong Hansheng shouted unquestioningly.
"Brother!" Xiaohua cried again.
"It's okay! You lie down and don't move, this beast can't go up the tree, hold on for a while! Hear the sound for a while, it's time for someone to come to the village!" As soon as Zhong Hansheng's words fell, the wild boar hit him again, his legs were already unconscious, and the desire to survive made Zhong Hansheng bury his head and roll a few times.
Although he had escaped the fangs of the wild boar, he was still stepped on in the arm by the pig's trotters. This wild boar weighed more than 100 catties, and when he stepped on it, Zhong Hansheng, who was in pain, grinned his teeth, felt a hot breath in his chest surge, and suddenly smelled of blood in his mouth.
"Brother, I'm coming down!" the words fell, and the little flower fell from the tree.
When the boar heard the noise, he turned his head to look, and lowered his head to aim his fangs at Xiaohua, who sat on the ground and kept moving her body back.
"Bang!bang!" Three gunshots rang out, and Lu Orion, carrying soil and guns in his hands, fired three shots at the wild boar.
Zhong Hansheng turned his head and saw that there were many people behind Lu Orion, all of whom were in the prime of the village, and everyone was carrying hunting tools and handy guys in their hands.
The wild boar was shot three times, the gun fired iron slag, the penetration is not strong, the wild boar has blood stains, but still standing, looked at the place, pulled out the legs and ran to the mountain, running on the way, shed a little blood.
