14. Up the Mountain (Down)

"What, what are you calling Uncle Ben?" Ma Yuan's arrogant and stinky voice sounded in Zhang Xiaojie's heart.

Zhang Xiaojie automatically ignored Ma Yuan's self-praise and said, "Ma Yuan, didn't you say that you hate rabbits the most? Do you remember where all the rabbits you hate the most are?"

"What's the matter, are you going to help me get revenge?" As soon as Ma Yuan heard that Zhang Xiaojie seemed to be going to trouble the rabbit, he was so excited that he didn't even want to claim to be in trouble, and hurriedly said.

"Of course, if you tell me where they are, I'll go and catch them and eat them, and help you get revenge, how about it?" Zhang Xiaojie revealed her purpose of going up the mountain, and began to hear Zhang Dashan say that she wanted to go up the mountain, so she made up her mind to want Mayuan to help, and was going to catch rabbits to eat, so that she would no longer have to look at the chickens and pigs at home and drool, you must know that this is a grudge that she has not eaten a little meat for more than two months.

"Where? Anyway, it's where I used to be, why are you so stupid?" Ma Yuan said in a disgusted tone that you were too stupid to understand.

Zhang Xiaojie could only pretend that he hadn't heard it, and the child in Mayuan didn't care about it, and continued to ask: "Is there anything in the place where you stay, such as a big stone or something?"

"Uncle Ben never remembers those things, anyway, there are a lot of annoying rabbits!" Ma Yuan thought about it and found that he didn't remember much, only that those rabbits always harassed him.

"Do you live there, some hemp fruit, and some little thorns on the tree that grows this fruit, remember?"

Zhang Xiaojie said patiently.

"Oh, Uncle Ben knows, it's the place my father just said, right?" Ma Yuan showed a look of finally thinking of it, and Zhang Xiaojie from a distance saw that the orange leaves on the ground of Ma Yuan shook proudly.

"Dad, do you still have a father in Mayuan?" Zhang Xiaojie said with some doubts.

"What father? Uncle Ben is Uncle Ben. ”

"And what are you talking about dad?"

"Didn't you just call that person Daddy? Isn't that the name you humans say?" said Uncle Ma Yuan in such a smart tone.

"Eh, Ma Yuan, Dad, this is a title, not a name, and the name is not this. Zhang Xiaojie was a little speechless, but she still felt lucky that Ma Yuan could understand what her father was talking about. "Do you know where that is, and have you ever been there?

Do you know if there are any rabbits there?"

"Well, yes, Uncle Ben remembers that there are a lot of rabbits there, the most annoying, always want to eat my rhizomes, I buried them so deeply, and later when it snowed, I still want to eat my beautiful leaves, I must remember!" Ma Yuan excitedly expressed his willingness to provide specific places.

Zhang Xiaojie saw that she knew the specific place, and was ready to persuade Zhang Dashan to bring some tools to catch rabbits when she arrived, after all, she was small and weak, and she still had to rely on Zhang Dashan.

When Zhang took Zhang Xiaojie to make dinner, Xiaoshi also came back from school, and heard that he was going to the mountain tomorrow.

In the end, Zhang Dashan sternly said that Xiaoshi wanted him to study seriously before giving up, although Zhang Dashan himself had not read, but it was still very reasonable to teach Xiaoshi a lesson.

Zhang Xiaojie, who had been tossing and turning all night, woke up when the sky was just dawning, and there was a whispered exhortation from Zhang's and a slight collision of pots and bowls from the yard.

Zhang Xiaojie got dressed and walked out of the room, now the weather is getting hotter and hotter, fortunately, he is just a child, and he doesn't need to have three layers inside and three layers outside, he can only wear single clothes, but he is going to the mountains today, and he tightens his trousers.

"Xiaojie, it's really early today, come and eat some mats, let's go." Zhang Dashan saw Xiaojie coming out of the room, so he beckoned Zhang Xiaojie to go to the kitchen, holding a few freshly steamed cakes in his hand.

"Mother, early," Zhang Xiaojie walked into the kitchen and first said hello to Zhang, who was busy under the stove, and then took the cake handed over by Zhang Dashan, and asked a little excitedly,

"Dad, have you done the tool you said yesterday to catch rabbits?"

"Haha, don't worry, although Dad is not a hunter, it's still okay to make two rabbit catches, but I haven't really seen any rabbits there, that thing is cunning and not easy to catch" Zhang Dashan didn't say much when he saw Zhang Xiaojie so happy, so he just said that it was not easy to catch.

Zhang Xiaojie saw Zhang Dashan asking, but she didn't panic, in the past two months, Zhang Jie has long regarded herself as the real Zhang Xiaojie, and she has also adapted to the husband and wife who are a little strict with her mother and a shrewd father and mother who is a little shrewd but doesn't talk much.

"Didn't you say that there are rabbits on the mountain? I haven't eaten meat for a long time. “

"You girl, I think you're addicted to oil, and now you're hungry for meat. Zhang heard Zhang Xiaojie say that he was slightly dissatisfied with eating meat, how could anyone in the village often eat meat, so he reprimanded.

"Mother, now that my younger brother is in school, I am so tired from studying, should I make up for it, right?" Zhang Xiaojie saw that Zhang's had a tendency to make a long speech and hurriedly pulled out the small stone, and asked his father in order to increase his allies, after all, Zhang Dashan attaches great importance to reading.

"Child, it's okay, Xiaojie is still young, besides, it's for her brother, then I'll go up the mountain with the child" Zhang Dashan saw that Zhang's seemed to be opposed, and pulled Xiaojie out of the kitchen, saying as he walked.

"Okay, you let Xiaojie put the bamboo basket on her back and go. Seeing that Zhang Dashan was in a hurry, Zhang didn't say much, went out with a bamboo basket, put it on Zhang Xiaojie's back, and told Zhang Dashan and Zhang Xiaojie to be careful on the road before letting Zhang Dashan and Zhang Xiaojie go out.

Out of the door, Zhang Dashan walked not too fast with a big bamboo basket on his back in front, obviously waiting for Zhang Xiaojie.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaojie stepped forward and grabbed the corner of Zhang Dashan's clothes and walked forward together.

"Hey, hey, hey, Xiao Miaomiao, are you leaving?" Ma Yuan's voice suddenly sounded in Zhang Xiaojie's mind.

"Otherwise?" Zhang Xiaojie asked in her heart.

"Aren't you going to take Uncle Ben there?" Ma Yuan said directly when he saw that Zhang Xiaojie didn't understand.

Zhang Xiaojie saw that Zhang Dashan didn't look back and was seriously hurrying in front, so she rolled her eyes and said, "Ma Yuan, you said yourself, you are such a big one, how can I take you? Do you want to be caught and eaten when you go out like this?"

“…… Hey, Uncle Ben is not so stupid, just to test your little Miaomiao" Ma Yuan's somewhat unwilling tone came.

But Zhang Xiaojie seemed to see the orange-red leaves exposed by Ma Yuan, and they all trembled.

For more than two months, Zhang Xiaojie has basically mixed up with the village, and the original owner didn't have a good little friend to play when he overheard it because he liked to go to the private school, but fortunately, others only thought she was a child and a girl and didn't say anything.

Now the road that Zhang Dashan took Zhang Xiaojie to walk was obviously not the one Zhang Xiaojie took when she went to the village to play, "Dad, where does this road go up the mountain?"

Zhang Dashan turned his head and looked at Zhang Xiaojie and said, "This is the outer road in the village, I don't pass through the village, there are few people walking here, but you can't bring your younger brothers and sisters here to play in the future, now there are many flowers." ”

Zhang Xiaojie saw that this path was far less big than the right road in the village, and she didn't pay attention to it just now, it turned out that there was a fork in the road not far ahead of her house, and it was the outer road that Zhang Dashan said.

There are more grass and trees here, there are few footprints, and it is gradually far away from the village, it seems that Zhang Dashan used to go up the mountain from here, so it's good, after all, the people in the village are simple, but there are almost no secrets, if Zhang Dashan walks from the village, those people must ask what to do.

The last time he sent Xiaoshi to study, he had already made a name for himself in the village, but Zhang Dashan himself said that he had collected some medicinal materials to get enough bundles.

Zhang Xiaojie looked at Zhang Dashan while climbing the mountain, and felt that God treated her very well.

His father is not pedantic, but these two look honest, and their minds are also very lively, although they don't talk much, their mother also loves themselves very much, and they only say not to waste when they cook vegetables with oil, and they don't say anything, after all, oil is so precious now, and they have never treated themselves harshly on food.
