Chapter 16 Everyday Life
"Morality, what about idleness?" Old Man Guo greeted from afar.
"Well, are you okay again?" Liu Daode asked rhetorically through the fence.
"It's okay, I don't look at the time too early, I'm here to mix up with you. As he spoke, Mr. Guo raised the plastic bag in his hand, "I went to the town in the morning, and I cut two catties of cooked beef, got a roast chicken, and some peanuts, and took a bottle of wine, how about we have two glasses at noon?"
"What kind of food to buy, if you want to come over for dinner, just say hello. "This old man came here with a pinch, and he brought so many things, what can Liu Daode say, he can only express his welcome.
Originally, he wanted to invite the other party into the house to sit, but Old Man Guo shook his head again and again, saying that the sun was so good, it was still comfortable to sit in the courtyard.
Yes, the Lord is at his disposal.
It's past eleven o'clock, and it's almost time to cook.
The old man brought so many dishes, and the two of them couldn't finish it at all, so Liu Daode didn't get into the kitchen anymore. Go back to the house and turn on the rice cooker, boil porridge, and throw a few salted duck eggs inside.
"I haven't been here for two days, this owl is a lot bigger, what are you feeding?" Waiting for Liu Daode to return, Old Man Guo pointed to the foodie under the stone table.
"What else can I feed, I go to the field every day to catch mice, I just learned that owls are not picky eaters, as long as they eat meat, the next step is to get some earthworms and loaches to feed. ”
"As long as it's meat, eat it?" Old Man Guo was moved after hearing this, untied the plastic bag, and took a piece of cooked beef with chopsticks and sent it to the owl chick.
Who knew that the foodie was not moved at all, but shrank his body backwards.
"It's useless, it doesn't eat food from strangers. Liu Daode explained. As he spoke, he pinched the cooked beef and sent it over.
This time, the foodie was not polite, stretched out his head, puffed on the plate, and enjoyed it slowly.
"It's weird, it's true. Old man Guo had no choice but to give up his plan to feed the birds.
"Young owl birds are like this, and after getting acquainted with their owners, they generally do not accept strangers to feed them. Liu Daode explained. A few days ago, there were also tourists who came to play to feed foodie food, but it was unsuccessful.
At first, he thought that his owl had spirituality, but it wasn't until this morning, after listening to the information that Lin Xiaotong recited, that he knew that the owl was different from other birds, and had a strong dependence on the owner in terms of diet.
In twenty minutes, the porridge was cooked, Liu Daode took out the salted duck eggs, put them in cold water for a while, and then cut them in half and put them on a plate, with cooked beef, peanuts and roast chicken brought by the old man, exactly four dishes, commonly known as four seasons!
Of course, before the meal, it is indispensable to get some meat for the general.
Preparing to work together, the two of them set off in the courtyard.
Liu Daode doesn't like to drink very much, and Old Man Guo doesn't drink well, and the two are at the same level, so they don't persuade them to drink much.
After two or three drinks, start eating.
During the meal, Mr. Guo revealed his thoughts: he was going to take root in Liu Village, Hedong, and planned to buy a piece of land here, and then rent a few acres of land to plant.
"I said old man, you don't have a fever, you are really going to live in the countryside for a long time, what's good here, are you used to living there?" Hearing his thoughts, Liu Daode was very surprised.
Why is it that these days are reversed, rural people want to settle down in the city in every possible way, but Mr. Guo wants to come to the countryside.
"What's good in the city is nothing more than more cars, more people, and higher buildings. However, the living environment is not comparable to the countryside at all. Take the vegetables sold in the supermarket as an example, they look bright, but they are produced in greenhouses, and I don't know how many pesticides and fertilizers are used. There is also smelling car exhaust and listening to noise pollution every day. Elderly people live in the city, and ten and eight have physical problems.
It's better to stay in the countryside, live a simpler life, climb mountains and fish every day to exercise, and live for a few more years. ”
Listening to his explanation, Liu Daode found out that he was in love.
If the countryside is compared to a wall, the people outside the wall want to come in, and the people inside the wall want to go out, this is the normal state of life, but the pursuit of difference.
For this qiē, just look at it with a normal mind.
After eating, Mr. Guo was worried about fishing by the river, and after chatting for a while, he got up and left.
Liu Daode returned to a state of idleness, there was nothing to do, so let's go into the mountains and take a walk.
So, he locked the foodie in the house, and then led the general towards the back mountain.
As soon as I crossed the mountain road, I saw the bear children in the village pouting their buttocks in the middle of the hill, listening to the sound, they should be picking scorpions.
It's early April, the weather is warm, and it's the time when the scorpions are active, and the kids are obviously planning to earn some pocket money on Sundays.
Before Liu Daode could get closer, he heard one of the bear children exclaiming, "Snake, snake!"
followed Xiao Hao and shouted there: "The homespun bag, it's a homespun bag, catch it quickly, and the street collects it again, five yuan a piece." ”
"Kill it, kill it. As soon as they heard that it was valuable, the bear children became excited.
Homespun bag ...... Liu Daode was startled when he heard this.
These guys are really good scars and forget the pain, they were just stung by a wasp some time ago, and they almost died, and now they are getting into trouble with the dirt bag.
The homespun bag is the name of the countryside, and the scientific name of this thing is pit viper, which is more toxic.
If you get bitten by it, it's definitely not good.
However, this thing is very rare, and ordinary people have not seen one for a few years. This group of bear children can meet the mountain casually once, which is really lucky.
"You bear children, don't die!" Liu Daode hurriedly shouted, and then strode towards them.
"Uncle Lazy, it's Uncle Lazy!!" they heard the voice and shouted excitedly, "Come on, we find a homespun bag." ”
Several people shouted and beat them with branches.
By the time he arrived, the bag was dead and could no longer die.
Seeing that they were all fine, Liu Daode relieved himself and opened his mouth to reprimand a few words.
But looking at the elated appearance of these children, it is obvious that they did not take their words to heart.
After killing a homespun bag, they lost any interest in catching scorpions, and carried them directly down the mountain, intending to sell them on the street.
The scorpions on this hillside went back and forth and didn't know how many times they had been caught by the villagers, Liu Daode released his divine sense to sense, and only saw one for a long time, so he simply dispelled the idea of catching a scorpion.
led the general around the mountain, ready to go home.
Before he reached the foot of the mountain, when he passed a thicket, the general suddenly flew out and chased an earthy brown figure.
Another hare, blessed tonight.
Liu Daode sat on the stone and waited, but after two or three minutes, the general returned with a hare.
This thing is not dead, and its limbs are constantly kicking, but unfortunately it was bitten by the general to the top flower skin, and it is useless to toss and can't escape.
He reached out and grabbed the top flower skin, looked at the hare's belly twice, and then released his senses.
Sure enough, there were three little lives nurturing inside.
It seems that this rabbit meat can't be eaten, so it just takes it home to raise it and be a companion with the two in the big pit. xh:.74.240.212
