Tang Zhu looked at her tearful eyes and knew what she was thinking.
"You don't need to worry. I'll be back safely. ”
Tang Zhu didn't talk to Zhang Qiao'er too much, he was afraid that he would talk too much, and he ...... Will regret it.
On the way, the strange bird came a few more times, and Tang Zhu was annoyed, but he was helpless.
Passing by Tang Butcher's house again, seeing that the butcher and his wife were holding a bowl of pork soup to drink, Tang Zhu was very envious.
His real name is "Tang Pig", which was given by his father who died early, and he looks forward to eating pork every day in the future and not having to go hungry again. Later, Mr. Meng Xue in the village put forward an opinion, saying that the name was indecent, and changed it to a side, calling it "Tang Zhu".
Tang Zhu itself doesn't matter. No matter how good the name is, what's the use? People who have never been to the mountains in the town in their lives, who can they show for a good name?
It has been twenty-one years since Tang Zhu was born. Now that his twenty-second birthday has just passed, he is still hungry, and he saves all the poor food he has for his younger brother.
It's been more than 20 years, and Tang Zhu hasn't eaten a bite of meat. On the occasion of a few feasts before, he secretly hid the pork and kept it for his sick mother, and he still hasn't tasted the meat.
As for Tang Zhu's own birthday...... Joke, the redneck also has a birthday? Poor people are not entitled to birthdays.
Tang Zhu grabbed a handful of loess from the ground and threw it into the sky, driving away the strange birds that had just come over again, and then calmed down.
"Wow! Woof! ”
Tang Zhu was about to walk to the head of the village, when he suddenly heard a dog barking, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Aunt Li's second fat dog. This earth dog is not ordinary, and if it is trained, it can be used as a hunting dog, and it is accurate to catch a rabbit.
[Now with bare hands, there are many dangers in the mountains, it is better to take a dog with you, it is better to take care of it, it is safer. 】
Tang Zhu did it as soon as he thought of it, walked towards Er Fat, and held it in his arms.
It's strange, although the earth dog has met him many times, but after all, he hasn't fed anything a few times, and he is not familiar with Tang Zhu. But now that I look so intimate, it's like I've known Tang Zhu for many years.
Tang Zhu didn't have time to think about these things, so he hugged the earth dog and walked all the way out of the village.
"Whew-"
Tang Zhu escaped from the foot of Dongshan Mountain in embarrassment, and there was a faint wolf howl behind him, and there seemed to be animals such as leopard cats and mandrills.
[Strange, how can Dongshan have these things? Could it be that I am mistaken, in fact, the East Mountain is more dangerous than the West Mountain? But for so many years, I've never seen a wolf in Dongshan? There was nothing unusual when I was collecting firewood today. 】
Although Tang Zhu promised to find medicine for her father, he still did not give up, and planned to go to Dongshan to try his luck first, to see if he could get lucky to find a bunch or two of Baili Red Stiff, so that he could deal with the errand.
But I didn't expect that before I climbed the East Mountain, I was scared back by the wolves.
[How is this a good ......]
Compared with the East Mountain, which is almost non-existent for hundreds of miles, the medicinal herbs in the West Mountain can be described as incomparably rich. And recently it is also the time when the herb is ripe. It's just that as a last resort, Tang Zhu still doesn't want to go to Xishan to collect medicine.
His father died in Xishan ten years ago when he was collecting medicine, and his bones were not recovered, so it was still second. The dead can't always care about the living, and mountain people like Tang Zhu are not people who pay so much attention to the feelings of the deceased.
The living will starve to death, and who cares about the dead? He was his father when he was alive, and after he died, it was a pile of bones, and it was useless for Tang Zhu. Although he has lost a mouth to eat, he has also lost a pair of hands that can work.
What kind of family is a family without a man to support it?
The main thing is that the West Mountain is terrible.
Wolves, leopard cats, mandrills, and poisonous snakes in the West Mountain...... There are countless of them, and the mountains are so steep that it takes more than two days just to climb the mountain. The herbs, on the other hand, grow on the other side of the mountain, which is steeper and more dangerous.
[Don't kid yourself. 】
Tang Zhu knew very well that it was impossible for Dongshan to have medicinal herbs. The rising sun over there is not suitable for the growth of hundreds of miles of stiffness. After so many years, no one has ever picked a bunch and a half from above.
He wanted to go to Dongshan to see, but he just escaped.
"That's it, let's go to Xishan! Support the bold and starve the cowardly, this time, not only do you have to collect medicine for Qiao'er and her father, but also have to save enough for her brother once, so the money to marry her aunt and the dowry for marrying her sister will be complete. Fight, just give him a fight! ”
"People are hanging from the sky, and they will not die for thousands of years, it depends on whether my Tang Zhu is hard! This rotten situation, I, Tang Zhu, have had enough! ”
"The big picking hasn't started yet, there must be a lot of herbs, just pick ten or twenty catties, and you're not afraid of no pork to eat. I've never tasted femininity in my life, so I can't just think about my brother, I have to ask myself for an aunt. ”
The more Tang Zhu thought about it, the more excited he became, and it seemed that a good tomorrow was just around the corner. It's just a possible danger, but he deliberately ignores it.
He did not dare to think about the consequences of failure.
Tang Zhu took out the rope from his waist, led the dog, and took out a polished dagger, looking in the direction of Xishan.
"It's a dragon or a turtle, it's dead or alive, in one fell swoop!"
