21. Rest

On the way back, everyone's luck was good, Ah Hao hunted a few pheasants and hares, and distributed them to everyone, just enough for everyone, a little more harvest, and everyone's mood was much better. When they returned to the village, everyone was frightened when they saw that they were all injured, and the village chief asked again and again: "What's the matter, could it be that you have encountered wolves." ”

"No, I met a big python and almost had an accident." Ah Qing replied fearfully.

"Fortunately, Ah Hao and Geng Qiu are very skilled, I can't say, I won't be able to come back." It was said.

However, although everyone was slightly injured, all the baskets were full, so the families were very happy. After all, the ten-pound snake meat is fat and tender, everyone usually eats snakes, so they all like it very much, and dozens of catties of fresh fish make everyone happy, such a big fish, the internal organs in it can boil out a lot of fish oil, which can be used to stir-fry vegetables and stew soup. The fish can also be marinated and eaten slowly. Besides, each person was given a pheasant or a hare, which was still alive and could be taken to the market for money. In fact, even those wild fruits, wild mountain delicacies, etc., everyone likes them. Some of the wild mushrooms are even very valuable.

Although it was a lot of gains, it almost lost its life, and everyone still felt that it was too dangerous to go into the mountains to hunt. In fact, even Ah Hao was taken aback, it was the first time he had seen such a big snake, fortunately, this snake was not poisonous, otherwise the two dogs would not have come back. I don't know how Ergouzi provoked that snake? Obviously everyone is going to get out of that place. If the two dogs had moved faster, everyone would have left a little earlier, and they would not have encountered this disaster.

Anyway, everyone only remembers that Ergouzi almost died, if it weren't for Geng Qiu and Ah Hao, maybe they would all be in the mountains. But now everyone also knows the history of Ah Hao and Geng Qiu. To say that there were still people who wanted to beat his family before, this time it was completely dead. Ah Hao and Geng Qiu's force, everyone didn't dare to try.

Ah Niu hadn't seen his parents for a few days, and when he saw Geng Qiu and Ah Hao again, he suddenly burst into tears. Although he has been staying at Ah Qing's house to eat, drink and have fun, and the people of Ah Qing's family take care of him very much, but at night he looks for people from his own family everywhere, which makes Ah Qing's sister-in-law embarrassed for a few nights. I hardly slept in the past few nights, and the whole family got up to coax him, and I didn't sleep all night, crying all the time. Geng Qiu and Ah Hao saw that it was only a few days of hard work, and Ah Niu lost weight, and his heart was sour. I feel that I shouldn't leave my child alone.

Looking at Ah Niu who was crying at his grievances, Geng Qiu's tears were about to fall, hugged him, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, baby?" "As soon as this child was born, it was taken by Geng Qiu, he and Ah Hao are people who have no experience in taking care of babies, and they are not so careful people who usually do things, bringing up this child, the hard work they have put in them really can't be expressed in words. Seeing the child so aggrieved at this time, Geng Qiu was simply distressed.

"Ouch, I don't dare to say that Ah Niu is easy to take anymore, obviously he is in our house every day, and he is usually fine, and he wants to hold him. But in the past few days, he has been looking for you at night, refusing to sleep at all, crying all the time, and it is fine during the day. Even if he refuses to sleep at night, and only cries, I think he is looking for you. The village chief explained.

"Okay, okay, we won't leave Ah Niu anymore, it's our fault." Geng Qiu coaxed the child again and again, he knew that people did not treat Ah Niu badly, but he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.

After the village chief and they left, Ah Hao held the child, and Geng Qiu began to clean up the fish. The fish was put for a day, although the weather was not hot, it could not be put again, for fear of breaking, the fish internal organs were not willing to be lost, put it in the pot to boil oil, the large pieces of fish and snake meat were all marinated, two big fish heads and fish miscellaneous wild Ruzi stewed a big pot of fresh soup, stuffy a pot of brown rice, steamed an egg custard for A Niu, and fried an eggplant, the two of them had a beautiful meal.

When he went to bed at night, Geng Qiu said fearfully: "Alas, I almost had an accident." It's too dangerous to go into the mountains. I still won't go in the future. ”

"I'm not afraid. I was also very careful when I went into the mountains alone. Ah Hao reassured.

"There are so many people this time, they almost can't come back. I'm still thinking about next time. Geng Qiu almost screamed. He only realized it at this time, when he saw that Ah Hao was in danger, but he rushed forward like his life, and he couldn't believe that he could be so brave when he thought about it at this time. But this feeling of hanging by a thread, he didn't want to experience it again.

"It's just that there are a lot of people, and they don't have experience to have an accident. We used to come all the way from the mountains, so why didn't this happen. Ah Hao said that he did not agree to never enter the mountain again, although this time he was also taken aback. But if you don't go into the mountains, it means that you have no income and you will go hungry.

Ah Hao's words are also very reasonable, and Geng Qiu also understands that if they don't go into the mountains to hunt, how will their lives live? From the first day he met Ah Hao, he was in the mountains, and he also hunted a lot of prey along the way, all of which were safe, which was also the bad luck of the two dogs, but he still decided to persuade Ah Hao to go into the mountains less, even if he wanted to go, he had to accompany him, it was really dangerous to be alone, if something happened, there would not even be a rescuer.

Ah Hao was still angry: "I'm angry, we went for three or four days, but we didn't get anything, just such a thing, it's better for me to go up the mountain alone." also made Ah Niu so miserable. It's really not a good deal. ”

"Don't think about it, no one will dare to let you take it to hunting next time." Geng Qiu comforted him in his mouth, and he was also a little uncomfortable in his heart. Even the fish he gave half of it to everyone. If they went into the mountains, they would definitely get more than that, and he would be happier if he got more pheasants and hares. Because fish are easy to get, and they usually eat fish and loaches, half of the marsh has been cleared, and the other half of the water is still deeper, and there are fish in it, and they have caught some of them. Speaking of which, Ah Hao and Geng Qiu still love meat. So fish is really nothing to them. But having a ten-pound piece of snake meat and a hare is somewhat of a consolation.

"I wanted to pick pears, but I didn't do it. I'm going to pick it tomorrow, quietly go alone, don't let others know, just pick pears, come back when I go, get up early, and come back in the evening. Ah Hao said.

"No, I'll be back in a few days. Let's nourish your spirit at home first, and then say, the pears won't be all gone in two or three days, what's the hurry. Geng Qiu objected again and again. In fact, along the way, they also picked some wild fruits, and the big guys have them, and since they have them at home, let's talk about them after eating.

"Okay." Ah Hao had no choice but to agree. At home, Geng Qiu insisted on opposing things, and he couldn't insist on it.

The next day, Geng Qiu and Ah Hao didn't have any work, so they teased Ah Niu at home, now Ah Niu is half a year old, very personal, he refuses to get up in the morning, and he refuses to let go as soon as he is held. Geng Qiu knew that Ah Niu was afraid that they would leave him again, so he simply didn't plan to let him go to Ah Qing's house. Now that Aqing's sister-in-law is breastfeeding two children, the milk is no longer enough. Usually, if Ah Niu just went to eat two meals during the day and went home at night, and Ah Niu would eat rice porridge or egg custard at home in the morning and evening, Ah Qing's sister-in-law would have no milk to feed her little daughter at all. If Ah Niu doesn't eat, her milk is not much, and the youngest daughter will eat some food during the day, and she can't be fed with milk alone. Anyway, Ah Niu didn't drink mother's milk before, and he was raised well by them, such a big child, porridge, soup, and eggs can be eaten, and it doesn't matter if you don't drink milk.

"Ah Qiu, at home." Ah Qing came suddenly.

"Well, Ah Niu refuses to go to your house today. We thought he was too old to breastfeed. Now there is no work to be done at home, so the two of us will take him by ourselves, and we will not trouble my sister-in-law in the future. Geng Qiu said.

Ah Qing was silent for a while and said: "It's okay, the child is more than half a year old, and he generally starts to eat grain, if Ah Niu is hungry for milk, he will take it to find your sister-in-law." I'm going to go to town, do you want to go together? ”

"I kind of want to go buy some cotton and come back, and it's time to get ready to make winter clothes. When are you going to go? Geng Qiu asked.

"Go the day after tomorrow. We're going to have to recuperate for two days. Aqing replied. This time in the mountains, although the harvest was good, he also suffered some minor injuries, and the most important thing is that the feeling of escaping death is really uncomfortable. No, it's not just him, it's everyone else, all of them are resting at home and don't want to move.

"Yes. Don't talk about you, I'm going to have two days off. Geng Qiu said with a smile, speaking of which, of the ten people who entered the mountain together, only Ah Hao was not injured, and even he himself bruised a large piece of flesh. It can be seen that Ah Hao is still good. He is completely inferior to Ah Hao, but compared to others, he is the best.
