Chapter 076: The End of the World (Part II)

"If only the carriage were still there!" Xiao Shahua was already exhausted from walking, and he had walked for a whole day, and there were still a hundred miles ahead, and he didn't know when he would be able to reach his father's camp. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Are you still hungry?" Li Xun asked, "I can't find anything to eat, and I'm so hungry that I don't know what hunger is now!" ”

Xiao Shahua nodded, indicating that he felt the same way, there was no feeling of hunger, just endless tiredness. His legs didn't seem to grow on his body anymore, and he walked forward with heavy steps without being called.

Li Xun pricked up his ears and was surprised: "Listen! ”

Xiao Shahua also carefully distinguished, and vaguely heard the sound of gurgling water, which must have been a stream flowing through the forest: "Isn't it a stream, what's so strange, are you thirsty?" ”

"No, if you think about it, if there is a stream, will there be fish, shrimp and crabs? You can always eat some of these to satisfy your hunger, right? Li Xun seemed to see the hope of life.

Xiao Shahua felt that it made sense, and also smiled, and was pulled by Li Xun, who couldn't wait, to run in the direction of the sound of running water, Xiao Shahua shouted: "Slow down, I don't have the strength anymore, if I am dragged by you like this, I will fall apart!" ”

The clear stream reflects the colorful spring light, and the grass on both sides of the stream has grown more than a foot high, accompanied by scattered wildflowers. From time to time, some fish emerge from the water and spit bubbles, and this beautiful spring scenery makes Xiao Sahua fascinated.

"Sure enough, there are a lot of fish!" Li Yu quickly took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his trouser legs, and went down into the somewhat cold and biting stream.

Xiao Shahua sat next to the stream, holding his legs, admiring the scene of Li Xun catching fish, as if it was a beautiful picture painted in spring.

The water of the creek is shallow, and the fish are easy to catch, and it didn't take long for Li Xun to carry a fish to Xiao Shahua: "Look, I caught one!" ”

Xiao Shahua recognized that it was a carp in front of him, and when he saw that the carp's belly was a little round, he turned to joy: "This is also a female fish that is about to spawn, right?" ”

"Huh?" Li Xin muttered a little in his heart, why is he so unlucky, the ones he caught are all mothers, isn't it just to sprinkle salt on the wounds of Xiao Shahua, who just lost his mother, "I'll go back and put it away!" ”

Li Xun caught two or three more carp, all of which were pregnant carp with round bellies. Come to think of it, it's the spawning season for the fish, and the females are slower and easier to catch. If it is smooth and smooth, it must be a male fish.

Just when Li Xin was in trouble, suddenly, there was a pain in his toes: "Ah! ”

Li Xin raised his foot, and a vicious crab, wielding large pincers, was clamping his toes. Xiao Shahua on the side was amused by Li Xin's embarrassment: "Hahaha, look at you, the crabs are bullying you, it's better to boil this troublesome crab and eat it!" ”

Xiao Shahua's words reminded Li Xun that since the fish can't be caught, it is better to catch these slow-moving shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

Li Xin took off the crab on his feet, but he was in trouble again, and it could be seen from the crab's abdomen that this was a female crab, and the female crab's abdomen was slightly open, and it could be seen that it was full of crab eggs.

This is not good, if it goes on like this, you will be busy all day and you will not be able to eat anything. It doesn't matter if he Li Xin is there, when he was in the dungeon, he hadn't eaten much, but how could the eldest lady in front of him be so distressed?

Li Yu thought for a while, was ruthless, turned around, opened the belly of the female crab, pulled out the crab eggs inside, and threw them to the shore: "Shahua, look at it, don't let it run away, I'll catch some more, we can eat!" ”

After eating the fragrant roasted crabs, the two sat contentedly by the campfire to rest, watching the sunset in the west. The birds in the woods have also returned to their nests, chirping on the branches as if they were watching a concert.

"That's good!" Little Sahua was intoxicated.

"I'll show you something!" Li Xin got up and picked two willow leaves on the edge of the stream: "Do you know what this is?" ”

"Leaves, what's strange?" Little Sahua is unknown.

"In other people's hands, this is just a leaf, but in my Li Xun's hands, it's not!" After that, Li Yu put two slender willow leaves together and put them to his lips, and a melodious and crisp melody fluttered out from between the leaves.

"Wow!" Xiao Shahua was surprised: "It's so good, it's even better than the Qiang flute, how did you do it?" ”

"I learned it from my father!" Li Xun said: "Have you ever heard of the custom of sending off people between old people, often breaking willows to send each other? ”

"Of course I know this, I still remember that when my father went on the expedition, my mother folded willows and gave it to him!" At the mention of his mother, Xiao Sawa himself was a little sentimental.

Li Yu stroked Xiao Shahua's head: "So, the person who gets the willow branch will play a song with the willow leaf and give it back to the deceased." Of course, not all of them can play willow leaves! ”

"It's amazing, can you teach me how to play?" Little Sawa was curious to learn.

"Absolutely!" Li Yu picked off two willow leaves for Xiao Shahua again and handed them to her, "Look at it, follow me to learn, put the two willow leaves together, pull both sides, pull it closer and straighten, don't push too hard, otherwise it will break!" ”

"Is that so?" Xiao Shahua did it again according to Li Xin's demonstration, and it was indeed the same.

"Blowing willow leaves, what you need is skill, you can't blow brutely, willow leaves of different widths can blow different tones!" Li Xin continued to demonstrate to Xiao Shahua.

Xiao Shahua imitated Li Xin, but failed to blow the leaves, Li Xun had to teach Xiao Shahua hand in hand, tossing so that the sunset had already fallen, Xiao Shahua reluctantly blew the willow leaves, but still could not form a tune.

"I'm stupid, I can't even learn this!" Little Sawa was a little frustrated.

"It's already great!" Li Xin comforted her: "At the beginning, I also studied for a lot of time to be able to blow like you are now." You're very talented, and with a lot of practice, you'll definitely get even better! ”

"Will you continue to teach me in the future?" Little Sawa asked.

"Of course I will, until I teach you!" Li Xin swore that he began to like the girl in front of him: "It's dark, rest early, and get up early tomorrow!" ”

Xiao Shahua fell asleep next to Li Xin, and Li Xun, who was also a little sleepy, couldn't sleep, and the night in the forest was dewy and a little cold. Xiao Shahua, who slept last night, shivered in his sleep. Li Xin wants to add firewood to the bonfire at any time to dispel the moisture around him, so that Xiao Shahua, who has been tired for a day, can sleep peacefully.

By the light of the fire, Li Xin looked at Xiao Shahua's peaceful face, and then remembered the thrilling changes in the past two days, and sympathized with each other, Li Xin was even more determined to protect Xiao Shahua's desire.

Xiao Sawa is like a flower raised indoors, which has experienced wind and rain and fallen into the wild, and can no longer withstand any wind and grass, and needs to have a wide arm to shelter her from the wind and rain.
