There was little rain all summer, and the second crop had already been planted, and everyone knew that this season would not be good. The men in the village went to the county seat to work, and came back when the autumn harvest came.

In September, the Li family began to build a house, with two rooms built on the east side and one room on the west side. With the addition of the original one to the west, four houses enclose the courtyard in the middle. The thatched house in the backyard has been converted into a chicken pen, and the surrounding area is enclosed separately to raise chickens. The kitchen in the front yard was also moved to the backyard. Vegetables are planted on the periphery of the house. All the houses in the countryside are far away, and no one says anything no matter how much they toss in their backyards.

Because of the lack of rain this year, the house was built and dried for 2 days, and the Da Zhuang couple moved into a new house. The boys are still living in their original rooms. The extra room Li Xiao lives by himself.

Because at that time, three rooms were built in one go, and these three rooms were originally intended to be reserved for the remaining three boys to marry. According to the original distribution, Sanwang and Sixi lived in the original one, and Wufu lived with his parents at a young age. The two girls grew up together, and the two usually talked and laughed and didn't want to live separately. When Li Xiao saw the lonely room, his heart immediately itched. Grandpa saw that his little granddaughter wanted to live in a single room, so he made a final decision to let Li Xiao live alone. Of course, the two pillars and their husbands are opposed, there are so many brothers and sisters above, how can it not be the turn of the five girls to have their own room. But Sanwang and Sixi are unwilling to live separately, and Sanya and Siya are not willing to live separately. In the end, the old man said that the three and four girls were about to say goodbye, and after the two of them got married, they still wanted the five girls to live alone in one room, so don't bother to move around. Let Sanya and Siya live in the east wing, and when the room is empty in the future, a new house will be made for Sanwang. And the five girls get up early every day, which affects others to sleep, so let her live on the edge of the West Chamber, and she won't make noise to others in the future. In this way, Li Xiaogao happily moved to a new room.

After Li Xiao moved in, he began to decorate his room.

All the rooms, the entrance door is the outer room, the outside room is placed with tables and chairs, against the wall of the inner room there is a fire hole and a small chimney, in winter cold weather can be burned alone firewood to keep warm. If the year is bad, the family can also huddle on a kang. Next to it is the inner room, and the inner room is built with a kang.

After the house was cleaned up and everyone rested for a few days, the uncle planned to take his father and eldest brother to the city to look for work. The dealer will not have the autumn harvest until November. There is still more than a month, and everyone can go out and work for a month.

Two days before they went out, Li Xiao pestered Da Zhuang to fight him and put it next to the window of the outhouse. He pestered her father to make her a box. At that time, her mother made fun of her and asked your father to give you a dowry box at such a young age. Li Xiao saw that everyone was happy, so he should make fun of everyone. Three days later, the three men of the family went to the county.

Li Xiao asked for a shelf because he dug wild vegetables before and dug up a ginseng. Where did she recognize ginseng, and plucked it like a wild vegetable. After taking it home, when the third sister fed the chicken, she found that she had never seen this thing, and she was afraid that the chicken would be poisoned, so she took it and asked her father. Dazhu looked at it and thought it was a bit like ginseng, so he showed it to the old man. The old man looked at the root whiskers and lost more than half of the ginseng, and he was very distressed. Just said that they were losers, and they were angry and had to beat Dazhu, and Sanya hurriedly explained that it was found in the wild vegetables picked by the fifth sister. Looking for Li Xiao, Li Xiao looked at the tense atmosphere at home, and saw the things on the table, so he only asked, "Is there a problem with this thing?" ”

The old man knew that the five girls didn't recognize things, and he was distressed, so he let the whole family recognize ginseng. said for a few days in a row, "The five girls are the most defeated, otherwise this ginseng can be exchanged for an acre of land." Li Xiao also felt that he was quite a loser when he heard it, and the eldest brother spent less than 5 taels in total to marry his daughter-in-law. Then I looked at it twice, thinking that I should not miss it next time.

Every time Li Xiao went to the main room, he would stare at the bow and arrow on the wall for a while. The family thought the child was curious, and no one cared about her. Due to the lack of rain this year, some of the animals in the mountains have gone out, and no one has gone to the mountains. The old man also restricted Li Xiao. Li novel is only on the side of the mountain, not on the mountain. After pondering the hard bubble like this, I can go up the mountain again.

Li Xiao was also worried about the danger on the mountain, so he made 2 more wooden guns. asked Sanniang to sew a simple bag for her and put a stone in it. Two wooden guns were tied to the basket, and the basket was carried on his back, and he carried a wooden gun up the mountain in one hand.

Li Xiao walked cautiously on the mountain, sighing that the rabbits and pheasants were nowhere to be seen, and autumn should be the time when there were the most prey, but these were all gone. It's different from previous years. And so on for a month. The three uncles returned from the city to prepare for the autumn harvest. It is not good to say that it is a job in the city, the situation in the fields is not good, and there are many people who go out to work.

On this day, Li Xiao walked farther than usual into the mountains, not to mention catching it for a few days, but he didn't even see a rabbit feather pheasant. Feeling that something was wrong around him, he heard movement in front of him, so he quickly put down his basket, untied the wooden gun, and carefully hid behind a tree. Then I saw a pig come out. Li Xiao's first reaction was to encounter a wild boar. Then he picked up the wooden gun and raised his hand gently, and a shot flew out, piercing directly into the neck of the wild boar, which was very accurate. Unfortunately, it was a miscalculation, and the wooden gun hit the boar by the neck and fell to the ground. The wild boar was attacked and rushed in the direction of Li Xiao, Li Xiao grabbed a wooden gun in one hand, and ran back. Then I saw a wild boar chasing a child running in the woods, and the child was also dexterous, turning left and right, and kept a distance from the wild boar.

Li Xiao didn't expect the wild boar skin to be so hard, and he didn't even see a hole in the past with a shot, so he tried to find a way while running. Li Xiao looked at the distance, found a big tree, hid on the side, calmed down, took a few breaths, and then threw the wooden gun in his hand, which was directly pierced into the eyes of the wild boar. The wild boar was injured in the eye, and launched a frenzy and crashed into Li Xiao. As a result, he missed his mark and hit his head on a tree. Li Xiao was frightened and quickly dodged, and the big tree was knocked down straight. Li Xiao continued to spread his legs and run, and the wild boar swayed behind him to see what he was bumping into. Li Xiaojian also threw the wooden gun in his left hand and stuck it in the other eye of the wild boar. This time the wild boar was completely blind, and then I saw the wild boar bumping around. The trees around him were crushed and crooked. Li Xiao watched from afar. After tossing for nearly 2 hours, the wild boar finally fell. Li Xiao cautiously approached the wild boar, and saw that the first wooden gun inserted in the wild boar's eye had been broken, and the blood was blurred, and the other wooden gun was also knocked out of shape. Li Xiao guessed that it should be about the same. I found a big stone nearby and smashed it hard at the broken wooden gun, and the wild boar screamed~~, and after a few convulsions, it didn't move. Frightened, birds flew around.

Li Xiao held his breath and waited for a moment, kicked the wild boar with his foot, and then quickly tied the wild boar's feet with a rope. Then he sat on the ground. Clothes soaked with sweat. Li Xiao can't take care of the basket anymore. I'm thinking I'll find it back tomorrow. I wanted to pull the wild boar back, but I pulled it and found that it didn't pull. He sighed, forgetting that he was still young.

Li Xiao looked at the distance and was not very far from the village. When he saw the people in the fields, he remembered that there was no one at home at this time. Then he turned around and ran into the field.
