Chapter 5 Staying in Orchid Village

The thatched hut at the east end of the village is still some distance from the village chief's house, which belongs to the outermost part of Lanjia Village, and the place is too remote, and few people usually go there. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Wei Xilin and Chen walked for more than an hour to get there, looking at the dilapidated thatched huts by the river, as if they could fall down when the wind blew.

Wei Xilin's heart was a little astringent, thinking that it would be good to have a place to stay, and it would be good to find some wood to repair the damaged place, after all, this place is much better than a tree hole, a cave or something, at least there is no need to worry about monsters appearing at any time.

Thanking Chan sincerely, he watched her turn away and walk back into the dilapidated thatched hut.

The fence around the thatched hut was no longer a fence, and only a few sparse wooden strips were stuck in the ground.

There are three thatched huts in total, one is a bedroom, and the other is a kitchen, and the dilapidated place next to it can no longer be called a house, probably a thatched hut, because through a few broken wooden boards, you can see a small hole inside.

Wei Xilin looked at such a scene, suddenly felt a group of crows flying overhead, sighed, and thought about it to clean up the bedroom first.

Rolled up his sleeves and was about to do a big job, footsteps sounded behind him, and when he turned to look, the leader was the village chief's daughter-in-law Chen, who had a woman in her thirties beside Chen, followed by three big men, one of whom was the middle-aged big man Lan Dazhuang who showed Wei Xilin the way.

They all had tools in their hands, the men had axes in their hands and bags on their bodies, which were supposed to be hammers or something like that, and the women had empty wooden buckets with coarse rags in them.

Chen stepped over the fence and said to Wei Xilin: "You can't pick up this house with a little baby, so my father-in-law asked us to come over and help you."

As he spoke, he beckoned everyone to get to work.

Wei Xilin was not moved in his heart It was fake, looking at the people who were busy without saying a word, although he knew that he had strange powers, and it was trivial to resist wood or something, but if he did it in front of everyone, he would definitely be regarded as a monster.

After thinking about it, she turned around and walked out of the fence, these villagers helped her so much, she couldn't let them work in vain, the Yuli River in front of her was so big, she should be able to catch some fish to give to them, although this gift was lighter, but this was also her own heart.

Yuli River is not far from the thatched house, Wei Xilin walked for ten minutes with her short legs before walking to the river, looking at the river a little worried, there are no fishing tools, so she has to look around.

As luck would have it, there were some big trees scattered along the river, some like modern willows, but the branches of the trees were very long, swaying with the river breeze, like countless green ribbons fluttering in the wind.

It's strange that so many branches are not intertwined with each other and knotted together.

Wei Xilin quickly climbed the tree pole, looking for a few of the longest branches and tearing them off hard, there was no way, this branch looked thin but very strong, Wei Xilin used seven points of strength to tear off four or five.

He threw the branch under the tree and went down again.

Clapping his palms, picking up the branches on the ground, looking at the cutting surface of the branches, trying to tear the bark hard, pulling out a thin bark silk, and trying to be very strong.

My heart suddenly blossomed, looking at this fishing line is very suitable, and I pulled out two more, bolted the three bark wires butt, and a fishing line of about sixteen or seventeen meters was ready.

And dug up a lot of insects that looked like earthworms under the tree, and earthworms are different, these insects look like adult silkworms, but the color is a faint green, fortunately she doesn't have much feeling for insects, if the woman who is afraid of insects sees this, she will definitely stand on end and scream.

There are no hooks, so you can only try your luck by tying up the bugs.

Wei Xilin found a stone nearby and sat down, threw the bait to the surface of the river, his strange power really came in handy, he threw it far away, pulled the other end of the bark silk, and sat quietly on the stone and waited.

I don't know if it's because there are very few people here who know how to fish, Wei Xilin is a good one.

Those fish swallowed the bait directly into their stomachs, it didn't matter if they didn't have a hook, as long as Wei Xilin felt a movement, she immediately pulled the hook quickly, and the fish was caught ashore before she could react.

Wei Xilin took off the fish she caught and turned it over and over to look at it, it was quite big, about five or six catties, I don't know what kind of breed it was.

Forget it, a lot of things have changed when you come here, and you have to put it aside if you can't figure it out, and after staying for a long time, you will naturally know what those new things are.

I didn't bother too much, I threw the big fish into the grass behind me, and continued to do the action of throwing bait and pulling the fishing line.

Wei Xilin was fishing, the corners of her mouth were almost to the root of her ears, wahaha! It seems that my livelihood in the future is not worried, and I suddenly feel that my future is bright.

After fishing for an afternoon, there were mountains of small fish piled up behind him, about fifty or sixty, and Wei Xilin stopped his movements unsatisfied.

The surrounding trees were full of potholes dug by themselves, and it looked a little depressed, but the considerable fish mountain made Wei Xilin very happy.

There are too many fish, each weighing about six or seven catties, and then the remaining branches and bark are pulled out before the fish mountain is strung into a channel.

The body of the fish was slippery and difficult to hold, so I had no choice but to pull out two small trees that were arm thick and more than ten meters long nearby, tie the fish to the trunk, and walk back with a trunk on my shoulder.

While walking, she was glad that she was so powerful, and she felt that she was at ease with the weight of a few hundred catties.

Fortunately, no one saw her behavior, otherwise her eyes would have popped out.

Wei Xilin didn't dare to appear in front of everyone blatantly, and walked towards the grove near the thatched hut.

Put the fish on the ground, picked five relatively large fish, each about eight catties, pulled some weeds and rubbed five straw ropes, strung five fish respectively, and walked to the thatched hut with a few in one hand.

When I walked in, I found that the thatched hut had changed greatly, the damaged places had been rested, even the fence had been re-woven with thin branches, and the thatched hut had been re-made, and I couldn't see what should be usable inside.

These people should be veterans, and they are really good at work.

The two women were still putting the finishing touches on the men, and the men were sitting in the small courtyard resting and chatting.

Chen walked out of the bedroom, carrying a bucket of sewage in his hand and preparing to dump it, watching Wei Xilin come back and sigh, obviously seeing the fish in her hand.

With a surprised face, he went out of the fence and dumped the sewage, put down the wooden bucket, took the fish in Wei Xilin's hand, and said with a frown: "You kid, why do you get so many fish, the river is too dangerous, why did you run there?"

Although the words were reproachful, the strong concern still warmed Wei Xilin's heart, a big smile bloomed on her little face, and she replied sweetly in a crisp child's voice: "Aunt Chen, my father is a very powerful fisherman, I followed my father out to sea to fish when I was very young, and it will be fine." You and your uncle and aunt have helped me so much, I have nothing to thank you, these are my little hearts, don't dislike it. ”

After speaking, her eyes were lowered, her cheeks were slightly red, and she seemed to be a little shy, Wei Xilin shouted in her heart, it was really difficult to pretend that a child was shy or something.

Everyone looked at each other, looking at the little girl who was a little helpless, only five or six years old but so sensible, thinking of her life experience, they all showed pity, thinking about postponing it, and they all said that they understood it, and let her keep these fish for herself to eat.

Looking at everyone's reactions, although Wei Xilin was moved in her heart, she still said anxiously: "Uncle, aunt, take it quickly, you have helped me too much, I will be sad if I don't accept this, if there is anything I need your help in the future, I am embarrassed to speak again." ”

After speaking, the little face darkened.

Chen glanced at Wei Xilin, then looked at the fish in his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!" Xiaoxilin, we will accept this fish, wait for the aunt to bring you some supplies, don't refuse, don't see the villagers outside. ”

Wei Xilin didn't refuse this time, she lacked too many things, and she thought that she must repay them well in the future.

After thanking everyone, they said goodbye and left, Wei Xilin said goodbye to everyone, turned to face his new home, looked around with a shallow smile on his face, and nodded with satisfaction.

My stomach growled unexpectedly, I touched my little belly, and looked at the kitchen stove that had just been mended with mud, and it was still a little wet, so I had to go out and find a dry wooden branch to grill fish and eat it.

When he returned to the thatched hut after picking up bundles of dry branches in the grove, he saw the woman who had just helped standing outside the fence and waiting.

The woman heard footsteps and turned to look at her, holding a large bag wrapped in black coarse cloth.

Wei Xilin hurriedly ran over, put the wooden branch in her hand on the ground, opened the fence and led the woman into the house.

When the woman came to the bedroom, there was no furniture in it, except for a new straw mat against the wall.

The simple bed looked shabby, and the woman put the burden on the straw mat and sighed before saying, "There is a quilt and a sheet here, you will use it first." And this leaf is wrapped in salt, you can also use this pair of dishes and chopsticks. ”

As she spoke, the woman opened the bag and let Wei Xilin look at the contents of the quilt and sheets, the quilt and sheets were blue coarse cloth washed white with a few patches, and there was a bag of leaves the size of her fist on it, the things were very simple, but they were what Wei Xilin needed most now.

As if thinking of something, the woman smiled lightly and continued: "I forgot to say, I am the daughter-in-law of Landong who lives in the east of the village, Li, you will call me Aunt Li in the future, my family is also poor, don't dislike these things, it is not easy for you to be alone with this child, come to my house to find me if there is anything." I'm still in a hurry to go back to cooking, so I'll leave first. ”

Wei Xilin hurriedly said: "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, thank you so much, Aunt Li, I'll come to visit you when you're done farming, and then Aunt Li won't bother me." ”

Aunt Li paused, and said with a smile: "Look at you, kid, you talk and chew words, and when the time comes, you will come directly and bother something." ”

The conversation was closed and continued to rush home.

The corners of Wei Xilin's mouth hooked, glanced at the things on the straw mat, turned around and collected the dry branches outside the fence into the small yard, and went out to carry all the fish in the grove back.

Pick up the dagger, yes the dagger, it was given to her by the Ice Beauty.

After staying in the poisonous forest for so long, using a dagger to process meat every day, at that time, the ice beauty said with disgust in her eyes that it was given to her, Wei Xilin of course smiled, seeing that it was really effortless to deal with those fish now, and silently sent a little red flower to the ice beauty in her heart.

If you let the subordinates of the ice beauty know, the best magic weapon Purple Cloud Blade was taken by their master to give away, or used as a kitchen knife, they would definitely vomit blood in shock, it was a treasure that could be upgraded in battle!

Grilled the fish with ease, Wei Xilin smiled and squinted, the grilled fish with salt was really delicious, and she found that the food here was much better than modern times.

It's really natural and pollution-free, everything is the original taste, if there are more seasonings it would be more perfect, think about the food, and then look at the thatched house.

Forget it, take your time, the meat is there, will the seasoning be far away?
