Chapter 22 Into the Mountains to Hunt

A charm went down, Widow Zhang was quiet, the young man felt bored, turned around and left, Yun Nan took the opportunity to pull Er Ying forward, hiding behind Lao Dao and staring at Widow Zhang, she was very curious, this winter, how did Widow Zhang hit the evil after the snake essence, and after a while, Widow Zhang woke up, Lao Dao stepped forward to take a look, waved his hand, it's okay, just drink something hot for a while.

"Mom, how did you get this, it scared me to death. Widow Zhang's daughter asked her mother while wiping her eyes, hearing this, Yun Nan hurriedly pulled the old way of packing up her things and preparing to leave, the old way turned around and was happy, nodded Yun Nan's head, turned around and patted her clothes and pants and stopped.

"I don't know, I got up early in the morning to hold the fire, thinking about heating the kang early and waiting for you, but I saw a big long worm with more than a dozen small long worms coming out from under the firewood pile, this winter, scared me to sit on the ground, as if I was pressing one, uncle, you help me take a look, do I have to make some offerings?" But I haven't heard of an earthquake at my grandmother's house before? Lao Dao pinched his fingers with a solemn face, and he didn't come to any conclusion after half a sound.

When he returned to his grandfather's house, Uncle Tang was sitting on the kang and said about this, these days he intentionally or unintentionally saw a few long insects going to the side of the big black mountain, and said that it was so abnormal, there must be a monster, and talked about the legend that I don't know where to hear, Yun Nan loves to listen to this the most, Uncle Tang saw that she listened attentively, and talked more and more about the way of God, talking and talking, just talking about a big black mountain story, this story is very short, only said that it was more than a hundred years ago, an old couple, the daughter married to the county town on the other side of the mountain, the old couple heard that the daughter gave birth to a child to visit, the way back was delayed, so they wanted to take a shortcut, from a small road on the big black mountain to go home, There was nothing to do along the way, to the col of the big black mountain, the donkey of the donkey cart suddenly knelt down, the old couple almost did not pout from the car, looked up, there was a big snake coiled on both sides of the col, the snake had to be a zhang thick, coiled up high like two hills, the old couple was frightened, and quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, kowtowing while chanting, they were honest and honest, never killed lives, and never did a bad thing, begging the great immortal to spare their lives and other prayers, the old couple chattered, quietly looked up, saw the two snakes still looking at the sky posture, and guessed that they were let go, and hurriedly pulled the donkey cart away, and went home and told their sonThe son called a bunch of brothers up the mountain to see the next day, and saw two big nests (traces) in the snow on both sides of the col, which did look like something out of the plate, the son of the old couple was careful, and found that in addition to the two big nests, the snow around them had crawled over the marks, and when he went back, the old people in the village said that the two snakes were turned into dragons and soared.

After hearing this, Yun Nan's mind moved, others probably only thought it was a story, but Yun Nan, who had already cultivated a small amount of truth, already knew that time did have this kind of fantasy, and this thing was also very likely to be true, but did those two snakes succeed in ascending? Yun Nan was itching in her heart, and she wanted to fly to the Great Black Mountain to check it in person, but unfortunately she was not free now, and it was a pity to think about it.

"Nan Nan, Dad will take you to the Great Black Mountain to hunt tomorrow!" Yun Nan's regretful emotions had not yet fully brewed, and after eating in the afternoon, Yun Dad, who was a little drunk, took out the shotgun and assembled it, flicked Yun Nan's head, and announced the good news that Yun Nan had been looking forward to for a long time.

Daheishan is behind the Great North Mountain, it is said that there are a lot of wild animals, as well as bears and blind people, this time they set off together are Yun Dad's fox friends and dog friends when he was a teenager, and they are all in the prime of life in the village, there are two elders who lead the way, there are seven or eight of Yun Dad's peers, and there are six or seven children with him, in addition to Yun Nan, there are Wu Dasheng and his cousin Wu Dafu, Da Zhuang, Da Fat, two dogs, and Er Ying who cried for half a night.

At half past four o'clock in the morning of the next day, a large group of people drove several mule and horse-drawn carts towards the Great Black Mountain and started the New Year's hunting journey.

Yun Nan and Er Ying were wrapped in a big sheepskin jacket, and their bodies were covered with sheepskin mattresses, chatting in the car, the boys were poured a few sips of liquor, and they all sang with a smile and a red face singing that unity is strength, and the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howls drove the four big dogs that followed behind the car to also follow the howling, and the high and low voices of people and dogs were harmonious, and Yun Nan was happy to hear.

The big black mountain has to pass through seven slopes and eight mountains all the way, Yun Nan looked at the scenery on the way, how to look at the beautiful scenery, look at everywhere I feel that the feng shui is excellent, and inadvertently thought of the popular tomb robbery masterpiece in later generations, if it wasn't for the fear of alarming the spirits in the mountain and causing trouble, she really wanted to attach the six-character mantra and fly around the mountain twice, but at this time she was not idle, and from time to time she used her divine sense to "see" Far and near, occasionally you can see the figure of a hare passing by, and you can see the devil's hole from a distance, the snow is covered nearby, and the entrance of the cave is getting darker and darker.

The mountain road is difficult to walk, it has just snowed two days ago, even if it is not dawn to set off, or walked for a long time, Yun Nan and Er Ying fell asleep in their arms, woke up and found that it was already three poles in the sun, the outline of the big black mountain has been faintly visible, but the road ahead is too difficult to walk, the adults decided to unload the mules and horses, put the things on the carriage and put them on the back of the livestock, and led the animals up the mountain.

In the group, Yun Nan and Er Ying are two genders of women, and they are still the youngest, and of course they are also treated with the same items, put them on the back of the livestock and carry them away, Yun Nan can't care about the image, pouting his ass and hugging the handsome neck of a young mule, not because he is afraid, it is really a rugged mountain road, if he rides with a straight body, it will be easy to be pouted, Wu Dasheng They followed the adult, but it didn't take long for the youngest of the boys to be thrown on the back of the mule, and Da Zhuang and Ergouzi were still struggling in the snow。

Yun Nan didn't know how long she had been gone, but she heard someone's stomach gurgling, and the big fat was still chattering beside her, it must have been twelve o'clock when she was hungry like this, Yun Nan couldn't help but laugh when she heard it, did this kid use his stomach as an alarm clock?

At this time, the group had arrived at the foot of the big black mountain, although they brought a group of children, but if they really had to keep up with the mountain, it would only become a burden, so they arrived at a higher hillside, Wu Dasheng, who was familiar with the terrain, took a few children to a stone recess leaning against the mountain wall, cleaned up a small vacant lot before and after, unloaded the things on the back of the livestock, and found a few "Y" The shape of the thin wood sharpened to the ground in front of the stone recess nailed, and put the felt brought together, the second uncle and the big strong father made a bunch of hay branches and lit the fire, so the tent bonfire was there, Wu Dasheng and Wu Dafu went to feed the livestock, and the big fat two dogs fed the four dogs brought here, these four dogs are very tall, and they don't look like the earth dogs they see on weekdays, Yun Nan asked to know that this is the offspring of purebred hunting dogs, but there is still a little bit of blood, Yun Nan has reservations, she likes one of the black dogs with full moon eyebrows above her eyes, and carefully rubbed over to touch a few handfuls of black shiny hair, and her hand just stretched out, was dragged by the second dog.

"Be careful! This dog can protect food, don't touch it when it's eating, otherwise it will be anxious and can bite off your whole hand!" Yun Nan could hear some scare in the warning of the second dog, although she was not afraid of biting, but looked at the teeth of the black dog's resume and looked at her little arm, or touched her nose and stood aside honestly, the ancients said well, if you don't die, you won't die, and a good child will not risk his life if he is bold.

Everything was ready, the old and young sat by the campfire and ate a meal of dry food, and helped the cubs to lead two fires, and it was already afternoon, and the adults carried their guns and took two dogs and two horses that were not too young to go into the mountain step by step, leaving two dogs, and two and a half years old boys Da Zhuang and Er Gouzi to take care of the two young women, namely Er Ying and Yun Nan, uh, and Da Fat, and almost forgot him.

For not being able to follow into the mountain, Da Zhuang and Ergouzi are still a little resentful, but it's a bit measured, and they didn't blame the three younger children for this, just sat on the side and chattered about the private words of the two and a half teenagers, Yun Nan originally let go of his divine sense and followed a group of people up the mountain, and overheard what Xiaohong, what he looked at, what hit a rabbit and gave it to her, etc., so he took his divine sense and turned his face and snickered, yes, no matter how old the boy is, there will always be a few words of discussion about girls behind his back.

After a while, Da Zhuang and Er Gouzi were still chatting about private conversations, Da Fat pestered Er Ying and said who and how in the village, Yun Nan couldn't interject when he listened, he simply stood aside and beckoned to the two dogs left, the two black dogs that were left behind, among them have always been Yun Nan's rare full moon eyebrows, although the two dogs are domestic, they have not been taught any lessons, but they are very smart, Yun Nan waved his tail and came over, touched their heads, Yun Nan took them to the direction of the mountain, Da Zhuang and Er Gouzi, who were chatting, looked up, and saw Yun Nan with two dogs taller than her waist to show off their might, and couldn't help laughing, Yun Nan didn't bother to pay attention to them, and walked a few steps forward, and saw a bunch of red dry small grains hanging in the grass trees on the ground exposed to the snow, and couldn't help but be happy, this little wild fruit has a vulgar name, called dog milk/child, the appearance is elongated drop-shaped, and the inside is hard seeds, there is no chew, but the taste is strong and sour, which is one of Yun Nan's favorite wild fruits.

The two dogs were playing beside Yun Nan, Yun Nan was originally picking dog milk / children on the feet left by adults, but there were two dogs and footprints left behind me, I was not afraid of getting lost at all, in addition to dog milk / children on the road, I also touched a lot of wild dates hanging on the branches.
