Chapter 20: The Dead Tree
There are many wild things in the mountains, and the deeper you go, the more so.
Hua Yun walked and followed Hua Lei, picking up a few small stones on the side of the road from time to time, fluffing them in his hands, throwing them and picking them up, picking them up and throwing them again. It's as if I'm not busy with my livelihood but just here.
Walking all the way to the place he came to last time, Hua Lei stopped: "I'll go over there and see if the trap has been harvested." You dig wild vegetables here. Big sister, you can't run around anymore. No matter what you hear or see, wait for the eldest brother to come back. ”
Hua Yun threw the stone in his hand, nodded, and consciously sat on the big stone he sat on last time.
Hua Lei instructed again, and then turned back step by step.
Hua Yu and Hua Bing are still digging wild vegetables, but no matter where they squat, their faces are always facing the direction of Hua Yun, looking up for a while, and looking up again for a while.
Hua Yun pondered things in his heart, and when Hua Lei came back empty-handed with a disappointed face, he stood up awkwardly: "Take me away." ”
Hua Leiqiang smiled, thinking that a few traps were a little something, but there was nothing. I originally wanted to improve the food for my younger brothers and sisters, but I couldn't. Looking at the three younger siblings, especially Xiaohua Bing, Hua Lei's heart was heavy.
Xiao Huabing was not disappointed, she only felt that the eldest sister would definitely catch the hare or something, and when she heard Hua Yun speak, she hurriedly ran over: "Eldest sister, catch the rabbit." ”
Hua Yun nodded: "Do you want to eat chicken or rabbit?" As he asked, he grabbed a few stones in the palm of his hand. With her skills, it is really easy to catch a few "weak" primitive little beasts. You don't even have to chase it, a few stones can do it.
Xiaohua Bing's eyes flashed into small stars, and she licked her lips: "It's okay." ”
As long as it's meat.
Hua Lei felt distressed for a while: "The eldest sister hasn't turned this forest yet." I'll take you for a walk, but I don't dare to go to the depths. ”
Hua Yun nodded, she thought the same way. If she encounters any danger, she can't protect the children at the same time with her current skills.
Hua Lei led the way, and Hua Yun looked around. From time to time, I looked down at the terrain, and reached out to touch the big trees passing by.
"Sister, do you want to eat mushrooms? When it rains, let's pick mushrooms again. ”
"Pick more, and you can sell it for money in the county."
Hua Yun hadn't eaten it, but it didn't prevent her from accepting the kindness of her siblings, and she smiled at the corners of her mouth.
Just the slightest curvature made the three of them happy for a long time.
"Here."
"What?" Hua Lei stopped strangely and looked around: "It's good here, look at the traces on the ground, and there are many wild things." But it's a bit far from the foot of the mountain, so let's come less. ”
Hua Yun climbed a small high slope next to it in a few steps. On the high slope of the waist grew a large tree the size of a man, and its branches were luxuriant. It's just that, I don't know if it's caused by insects or injured the root system, so many branches are bare black branches, and only a thin twig is a little green.
Seeing Hua Yun standing behind the tree and pushing, Hua Lei hurriedly shouted, "Big sister, be careful." This tree can't survive, it's already terrible, it's not strong, don't hit you. ”
Hua Yun bent the corners of his mouth: "You all come up." ”
"Eldest sister, what good things have you seen?"
One by one, they all climbed up. When you look behind the tree, what is there?
Xiaohua Bing pouted.
Huayun motioned for silence: "Wait." ”
At the moment, the three of them didn't dare to come out, and just stared at Hua Yun blankly. I saw her bow her head slightly, her eyes half-closed, and her ears slightly sideways.
The three of them were so nervous that they didn't dare to breathe, could it be that they met a wild boar again?
How can there be such a good thing, for a long time, a colorful pheasant dragged its long tail, flying and jumping towards here, looking at the leisurely little appearance, it was clear that there were still four people hidden here.
The three of them didn't dare to gasp anymore, stiffened their necks and looked at the flowers and clouds from the corners of their eyes, what should they do?
Hua Yun smiled slightly, and the pebble that had been clasped in the palm of his hand for a long time flew out with a pop.
As soon as the pheasant seemed to notice something, he just raised his head, choked back in one breath, and his little brain was smashed squarely, and he rolled his eyes and fell down.
Hua Lei ran out, picked up the pheasant, and touched his neck.
"Alive."
I was knocked out by a stone.
Hua Yun said: "Go back." ”
Xiaohua Bing's worship: "Sister, teach me." ”
Hua Lei was also surprised: "Big sister, you are so good on time." ”
Not only must the head be accurate, but also the strength must be appropriate.
Hua Yun didn't want to say more, but said lightly: "I only saw the chicken in my eyes, and I hit it as soon as I smashed it." ”
Xiaohua Bing is even more worshipped, and the eldest sister is the most powerful.
Hua Lei touched his chin thoughtfully, as if... It's very profound, and it makes sense.
Only Huayu didn't think about this, Xi Zizi hugged the unconscious pheasant and touched the long tail: "Look at this chicken looks so good, I want to pluck these hairs off to make a shuttlecock kick." Quasi-eyes are hungry to death. ”
Hua Yun looked at her lovingly, little girls are always more likable than little boys.
"Tomorrow."
"What? Tomorrow? ”
The boy stopped.
"This place is good, it should be there tomorrow."
"Then come back tomorrow." Xiaohua Bing didn't cover her mouth when she laughed this time.
"This one is finished today." Hua Lei is also greedy. If you have it tomorrow, you can eat it with a little stomach, right?
"Great, I can save a few more to make the biggest and most beautiful shuttlecock in the village." Little girls love beautiful things at any time.
Even if it's that thing, Hua Yun thinks it's really useless.
When Hua Changnian and Wan Shi saw the pheasant, they were so shocked that their eyes almost fell out.
"Really caught?"
The chickens have woken up, cowering on the ground and looking at a few people in horror? Didn't you just get some sleep? Why did you change the world?
This poor little thing, when you are plucked and disemboweled, boiled in boiling water, is not just as simple as changing the world.
Wan Shi reluctantly said: "Look at how spiritual this chicken is, why don't we raise it?" You'll be able to eat eggs later. ”
Hua Changnian suddenly smiled, and Hua Lei said unceremoniously: "Mother, this is a male, and you can't lay eggs." ”
Wan Shi blushed and glared at Hua Changnian: "There is no mountain in my mother's village, how have I ever seen this thing, this is the first time I have seen it." ”
There is no mother's family, and the complicated housework of the in-law's family has never made Wan go up the mountain.
"Mother, this is not only seen, but also eaten in the mouth."
"But... The front yard is there... Child's father, do you want to send it to the child's grandfather? ”
didn't mention the Li family, because he was afraid of stimulating Hua Yun.
Hua Changnian also hesitated: "Or-"
Hua Yun began to get annoyed again, pinching the chicken's neck and lifting it up, the chicken was stuck in the trachea, rolled its eyes a few times and fainted. This time the faint was not so comfortable.
Break your neck, pluck your hair, and nibble on your mouth.
Most of the chicken blood entered Hua Yun's stomach again.
Hua Changnian opened his mouth wide, this chicken has tooth marks on its neck, isn't it okay? What should I do? Chop off the head of the chicken and send it back? Not okay?
He didn't think that his eldest daughter was so normal or abnormal at all, he got used to it.
Don't embarrass him, Hua Yun spoke: "It's stewed." ”
Hua Lei was still not at ease: "Otherwise, let's burn it outside and eat it, and then bring it back to my father and mother when it's cold." No matter what kind of face the group of talents in the front yard is, they will definitely come over to grab it. ”
Hua Yun shook his head: "No." Stew, boil and simmer. ”
A few people didn't understand, and Hua Yun didn't explain.
In the end, it was Hua Lei who took Hua Yu to boil water and kill chickens.
Hua Changnian wanted to say that he would send half of it to the front yard when it was ripe, but Hua Yun didn't even look at him, but Hua Changnian didn't say anything in the end.
Why are you afraid of your eldest daughter?
Hua Yu learned to cook early, and she did it in an orderly manner without Wan's help.
Wan was busy in the front yard, and when there was a burst of aroma wafting from the backyard, Zhang came out and shook his nose: "Yo, sister-in-law, what do you cook at home?" Why is it so fragrant? ”
Wan Shi said lightly: "I don't know either." I've been preparing food for the pigs. ”
Zhang was stunned, why didn't this sound good? Seeing that Wan was still busy cutting pigweed, he twisted his fat ass and went to the backyard, and ran back after a while.
"Yo, sister-in-law, where are you stewing chicken at home? Ouch hey, don't you steal our mother's **** again? ”
Li Shi listened and lifted the curtain and came out, Hua Changfang followed behind, and the two stared at Wan Shi with unkind eyes.
Wan Shi endured his anger and said: "The second brother and sister didn't count the chickens in the circle? ”
Zhang was stunned for a moment, and his eyes rolled: "Did you steal the chicken and hide it, and only stew it today?" ”
"The second brother and sister said cautiously, our father said that Wong Tai Sin took away the chicken, what's wrong? Does this mean that our big house is Wong Tai Sin? Besides, is there an aunt like you? What is good for your nephews and nieces to fall into the reputation of thieves? Our father's and our mother's rules are here, where can the child go? ”
Zhang's mouth opened wide, pointing at Wan's speechless, this piece of wood could say such a thing? Is this a smashed head and a smashing of the light?
Li didn't like Wan's, but after listening to what she said, he still scolded Zhang: "You have no brains, you can only talk nonsense with a big mouth, if you affect Fang'er's family affairs, see how I clean you up." ”
Zhang pouted: "Mother, you can go and have a look." Big brother's pot is a big pot of chicken, and I don't know where it came from. ”
Wan Shi was still silent, Li Shi glared fiercely, and hurriedly went back with Hua Changfang.
Zhang copied his arm: "Sister-in-law, don't you want to go and see?" ”
Wan Shi said lightly: "The second brother and sister took over this job?" ”
Zhang pouted, shook his fat butt and left.
