Chapter 73: Warm and Sweet
The knock on the door was particularly piercing in the silence of the night, accompanied by the barking of dogs, and someone came over quickly and tentatively asked, "Who's outside?" ”
"Uncle Kui, it's me, open the door quickly." After hearing the familiar voice, the wooden door quickly creaked open, and Yingle took Da Bai and Xiao Hu into the courtyard.
Seeing the two tigers following the young lady, Uncle Kui was taken aback, although he had been carried out of the mountain by the tiger before, he was still scared, "Miss, come in and talk, why did you come back at this time?" ”
Inviting the master into the courtyard, Uncle Kui looked around outside, and after making sure that no one had noticed, he closed the courtyard door and quickly followed Yingle into the upper room.
The room was pitch black, and Yingle lit the lamp, but was stopped by Uncle Kui, "Miss, don't light it, the Red Turban Army has entered the village during the day to sweep it." ”
I heard that several villages next door were in great trouble, with countless men killed and wounded, women also ruined, and all grain, cloth, and livestock were all taken away.
"The Red Turban Army is here, have you ever hurt anyone?" Hearing Uncle Kui's words, Yingle's heart tightened, at the beginning, in order to pass on the news, she let Uncle Kui stay at home alone to guard the door, if someone was injured by the rebels, she was uneasy.
"Miss rest assured, the little one is fine, the gray dog raised at home is very clever, when he saw the rebel army coming, he ran back in advance to report the news, I didn't care about anything, and quickly ran into the Cuiyan Mountain to hide, but I was not found by the Red Turban Army."
Speaking of this, Uncle Kui's face turned red, "It's just that the house was smashed by the chaotic army, they came in and rummaged through, but they didn't get any useful objects, so they started to destroy." ”
Seeing things at night is not hindered, Yingle has long found that there is a mess inside and outside the house, "Uncle Kui doesn't have to blame himself, it's okay if people are fine, if the chaotic army enters the village again in the future, you don't have to worry about the house, it is important to flee into the mountains first to save your life." ”
In this situation, it is safest for people to hide in the mountains and not come out again. But if he did this, he would be completely cut off from the world, and there would be no useful sources, and the Shen family would not be able to communicate with him.
After all, she said that Uncle Liukui was waiting for her father here, so that her mother was willing to guard her family and live in Baihu Mountain with peace of mind. Fortunately, her family's house was built at the foot of the mountain, very close to the Cuiyan Mountain, and it was very convenient for Uncle Kui to escape into the mountain.
"Thank you Miss for your kindness, the carriage at home was robbed by the Red Turban Army, the small one is useless, and I failed to keep the family business."
The greyhound guarding the gate was released by him in advance to inquire about the news, and when he heard the dog barking from afar, he could run into the mountain and hide, but the rebels came too quickly, and he only had time to escape into the mountain by himself, but he could not save the carriage. Even Ash ran into the mountains to save the dog's life.
Tell Uncle Kui that you don't have to blame yourself, you can buy it again if the carriage is gone, Yingle went back to the room and slept without mentioning it, the snow fell outside the window, and the beauty in the room slept soundly, and at about five o'clock in the morning the next day, the girl woke up, took out some rations from the storage compartment and left them to Uncle Kui, Yingle rode into the Cuiyan Mountain.
Telling the white tiger to take a long detour, avoid the place where the villagers gather, Yingle drove Dabai all the way to the deep mountains, less than noon, and saw the familiar scenery of the crescent moon peak again, the girl's heart was completely relaxed, or the most secure here!
Brushing away the falling snow on his body, Yingle entered the canyon through the crescent stone cave, and saw the yellow tiger roaring, Da Bai and Xiao Hu also ran to meet it, and the family of three was reunited again after being separated for just one night.
"Sister, sister," the two little ones ran out of the cave and happily threw themselves into Yingle's arms, "Where did you go last night, will you take us next time?" ”
Behind him, Yun Chuche followed out of the cave and strode over with thick snow, "Little junior sister, you're back, the coal we dug yesterday is particularly useful, and it's okay outside the mountain, is there any news?" ”
Seeing the man's hearty and clean smile, Yingle was happy, and took the hands of his younger brothers and sisters and stepped forward, "There is indeed new news outside, let's go into the cave and talk about it in detail." The snow was too heavy, and she was worried that Yingxiao and Baotai would suffer from the cold if they stood in the canyon for a long time.
When I entered the cave for a while, I felt the warmth around my body, and the nose was mixed with the warm and sweet fragrance of flowers, but it was the wild flowers that my sister picked before, which were scorching and blooming in the cave.
"How about it, doesn't Le'er feel very warm, with coal, we have a charcoal fire burning in this cave all night, and I don't feel cold at all."
With the words of the senior brother, Yingle's eyes fell on the charcoal fire surrounded by two piles of stones on the ground, and saw that the open space surrounded by small stones, the red coal was burning, and there were even a few sweet potatoes in it.
"Miss, it's time for lunch soon, I wonder what you want to use?" Yinwen, who was busy working in front of the stove on the other side of the cave, saw Yingle coming back, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask for instructions, the young lady was not here for a few meals, the second lady was in charge of cooking, and she assisted from the side, but today the eldest lady is back, and everyone should eat new tricks, so look forward to it.
Hearing the food, Yun Chuche's eyes immediately lit up, and he said eagerly: "Little junior sister, senior brother has taken advantage of the fact that he has come back with a lot of game in the past two days, and he has taken care of it, just waiting for you to show your skills." ”
Walking to the other side of the creek, scanning the ingredients in the kitchen, Ying Le had a plan in his heart, and immediately asked Yun Chuche to go out and chop a few bamboos and come back, everyone will eat bamboo tube rice at noon today, and then serve bamboo tube stewed chicken, bamboo tube grilled fish and bamboo tube roast meat.
Seeing that there were washed toon buds on the slate, and there were wild eggs taken back next to it, he instructed Yinwen to make a toon scrambled egg and come out, and then mix a toon bud cold. The mussel meat that he picked up from the sea before, served with shrimp and fresh mushrooms, Yingle is ready to make another seafood soup.
got the order of the little junior sister, Yun Chuche rushed out to cut bamboo on the spot, and when the two little guys saw it, they had to go to the bamboo forest to play together.
The stream that flows out of the cave spreads through the Crescent Peak Canyon and continues down the mountain outside, gradually converging into a deep pool of verdant water.
The pond is surrounded by rich and lush green bamboo, the trees are tall and slender, the scenery in the bamboo forest is beautiful, nostalgic, it snows in the past two days, compared to weekdays, it is another beautiful scenery of ice carving jade, the two little guys who have long been hooked are itchy, and now it is not just to catch the opportunity.
After getting their sister's consent, the two children excitedly followed Brother Yun away, they really liked the current day, there were more interesting things in the depths of the mountains than outside.
When the family in Baihu Mountain was happily preparing for lunch, the cave where the Jin family temporarily lived in Cuiyan Mountain was surrounded by gloomy clouds and mist, "Ghost, don't come to chase me, ah, big brother, I didn't mean to rob your homestead, but my mother said that she could help me get it." ”
