Forest of Skeletons (6)
By the time he had calmed down and cleaned up the room to rest, the old man had already returned, and there was a dying animal in the bamboo basket behind him.
The old man threw the basket to the ground and rested on his rocking chair, which was already scrapped.
Calmly saw that the old man was back, and he couldn't be idle, so he began to prepare to chop wood, and all the firewood she had chopped before had been used up.
Although her hands were covered with blood scabs because of chopping wood, she took the initiative to work without regrets.
Just before he went out, the old man spoke, "Rest, I'll come." ”
But he didn't mean to get up to chop wood, so he was calm and just talked, picked up the axe and went to the courtyard, and heard the sound of chopping wood from the courtyard, the old man shook his head with a smile and said, "This girl ......."
Then he opened his eyes and watched calmly chopping wood.
Chopping wood is a work that must be done every day in the prince's mansion, and her palms have already been calloused.
The old man suddenly walked over, grabbed his calm hand, and threw the axe aside.
Calm wanted to bend down and pick up the axe, but was blocked by the old man, and couldn't detect the axe at all, the old man blamed Calm and said, "You should be from the original middle." ”
Before he could answer him, he said to himself: "In the Central Plains, people say that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, so now it seems that she does not go to Taifu to study, but does the rough work of chopping wood and cooking." ”
Before Calm could reply, the old man entered the house, calmly picked up the axe that had fallen on the ground, and walked towards the firewood.
At this time, the old man walked out again, but there was an extra medicine jar in his hand, he casually threw the medicine jar to calm down and left, "Wipe it on your hand to remove the cocoon, save it from marrying in the future, and you won't leave with me." ”
When he said this, the old man was like a father who was about to marry his daughter, and he was driving her out, but he was still reluctant in his heart.
Calmly put the medicine jar on his body carefully, and did not wipe it on his hands, but continued to chop wood.
At this time, the old man came out again, and said a little angrily, "Didn't you say that you don't need to do it, don't think that if you help me, I will keep you for one more day, and leave when the injury is healed." ”
Then he snatched the axe in his hand and began to chop wood himself.
Standing calmly next to him in a dilemma, if he enters the house and leaves an old man outside the house, he can't pass this level calmly, but if he insists on staying, if he forces the old man to be anxious, he may really blow himself out.
As if seeing the calm embarrassment, the old man said halfway through the chopping of wood, "You go to the vegetable field to prepare the ingredients, and you will have food later." ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly laughed, he was really happy to be able to eat game, and he lost his mysterious brilliance when he rested, but was more like an old uncle from an ordinary family.
This change only came after the calmness appeared, so he was reluctant to blow the calmness away, and hoped to accompany him, a bad old man who lived in the secluded forest and didn't care about the world, but the old man didn't want to admit it, but he had already accepted it in his heart.
Calmly walked to the back garden and began to pick vegetables, all the vegetation here is planted by the old man one by one, the sun is abundant here, and the leaves on the side will fall rain and dew from time to time to water, so each leaf is still green, but at the same time, the terrain of this land is not horizontal, on the contrary, there is an inclination angle of twenty or thirty degrees, which can ensure that the excess water can be removed in time, and the terrain of the center is low and high around it has saved it from the impact of the previous explosion, and every vegetable grows intact on the ground.
However, the terrain makes it more difficult to pick, and every time you try to get closer, you will slide down again due to the slope.
I tried a few times, but I could barely touch the leaves of the outermost sprouts, and I couldn't pick them at all.
At this time, the prepared old man was urging her, "Girl, okay, no!" ”
I didn't want the old people to wait long, so I ran up calmly, but it was a trouble to come down the slope with all kinds of vegetables.
But she didn't want the old man to wait for a long time, so she didn't care about it, and rushed down directly, and her arms and legs were rubbed on the ground and a hole was broken.
When she returned, looking at her gloomy face, the old man said, "Are you going to bomb the enemy's bunker?" No matter how you pick some vegetables, it becomes like this. ”
After saying that, I went to wash my hands with calmness.
When she washed her hands and came out, the old man nodded with satisfaction, "This is like a big girl, what did that sprinkling and rolling look like just now." ”
Then he handed the chopsticks to the calm and pointed to the food on the grill, "It's time to start cooking." ”
This is also because only the freshest ones have a taste, so they didn't even shave the fur, and the old man put it on the shelf.
When he was about to light the fire, he was calmly stopped, "Sir, wait!" ”
Because Calm saw the prey that the old man had brought back, it was the wild wolf who was with her before, and the color of its pupils was special, so Calm remembered it vividly.
Since it appears here, it means that the boy must be nearby.
During the meal, the old man kept his head down in dissatisfaction, calmly digging into the bowl, but the old man took a bite of food and threw away half of it.
In the end, he was really angry, threw his chopsticks on the table, and scolded, "TNND, this meal is inedible!" ”
The prey that he had finally caught was calmly released, and now he was lying on his chaise longue and eating the rations calmly prepared.
