Chapter 11 Young and frivolous
At night, because Wei Qijun had not prepared a bed yet, he temporarily squeezed into the same bed with Father Ye, finally ending the days of wandering, and finally bidding farewell to the days of nightmares, so he slept exceptionally sweetly tonight.
Ye Yuning is a clever girl. Seeing that Wei Qijun was wearing Father Ye's shoes and making them smaller, he increased the size according to Father Ye's shoes, and made a pair of shoes without sleeping all night.
The next day it was given to him, and he put it on and it fitted perfectly.
Wei Qijun was very weak when he first came to Ye's house, so Ye Yuning often gave him extra meals and took care of him meticulously, so after he recuperated for a few days, he felt that his body was already well. I thought about going to the mountains to have a look, set up a set of hunting, and then find out if there were any edible mushrooms and wild vegetables in the mountains, so as to survive the next difficult days, no matter what, I must survive until the autumn harvest.
Now there is still a month and a half before the wheat is ripe, and it may not be able to wait for the autumn harvest, maybe it will be harvested when the wheat kernels are still green, because with the current situation, the grain at home has bottomed out, and it is difficult to survive the autumn harvest by eating only wild vegetables.
At dinner, Wei Qijun said to Father Ye: "Godfather, the food at home is about to bottom out, I am thinking about going to the mountains tomorrow to have a look, to see if I can set up a set of hunting, and by the way, to see if there are any mushrooms and wild vegetables that can be eaten." ”
"It's dangerous in the mountains, there are a lot of poisonous snakes and miasma, don't risk it." Ye Yuning did not agree with him to venture deep in the mountains.
Wei Qijun smiled and comforted her: "It's okay, your brother and I have joined the army before, and I am not afraid on the battlefield, just a little poisonous snake, brother, I have dealt with it, as for the miasma, can't I hide if I can't provoke it?" ”
"But......" Ye Yuning was interrupted by Ye's father as soon as he spoke, "I really have to find a way to get something to eat, now the wild vegetables in the field have been picked and almost gone, you can't sit still, you have to be careful when you go to the mountains, don't go too far, you have to make a mark at any time, don't get lost, be careful of poisonous snakes and miasma in the mountains." Don't be careless, come back as soon as it gets dark, and don't spend the night in the mountains, which are more dangerous at night and may be attacked by wild beasts. ”
Father Ye knows very well that the current situation at home really can't sit still, and it's good to let Wei Qijun go to the mountains to try his luck, but he is worried about what danger he will encounter......
"Knowing Godfather, I'll be careful." Wei Qijun ate a few more bites indiscriminately, wiped his mouth and stood up: "I have to clean up and find some tools."
Wei Qijun only drank one bowl of porridge, and Father Ye was afraid that he would be weak, "Don't be so frivolous, eat more, just eat two bites." ”
"It's okay, I'm full, I've got to get the tools ready. By the way, godfather, do we have ropes and machetes in our house? ”
"It's all in that box." Father Ye pointed to the box under the bed.
Wei Qijun walked to the side of the bed and squatted, pulled out the box quickly, found the rope and machete, took the machete in his hand, and tried the blade. The blade of the machete was sharpened to a shining shine, almost to the effect of blowing the knife and breaking the hair.
He was looking at the machete when he saw a bow in the chest.
He picked up the bow curiously, "Godfather, why do we have a bow in our family?" ”
"This bow was left over from your grandfather's hunting days, and there are no arrows left."
He raised his bow excitedly, "Godfather, can I use this bow for a while, and I will bring it with me when I hunt tomorrow." ”
"But the strings of this bow are not tight enough, and there are no arrows, and the wooden arrows sharpened by yourself cannot be used against the beasts of the mountains." Father Ye was very worried that he would use this bow to deal with the beast, such a bow, with wooden arrows, was useless to the beast.
"The godfather I know can't deal with wild beasts, but it's more than enough to deal with birds."
"Haha" Father Ye couldn't help but laugh at his young and frivolous when he heard him say that he wanted to shoot birds, "Qi Jun, if you haven't practiced arrows for three or five years, birds are very difficult to fight." ”
"Godfather, I'll try, you just let me try. When I joined the army, I was a dozen. As he spoke, he pulled his bowstring and aimed out the window somewhere.
"Okay, then take it, but don't use it to fight wild beasts, but be careful."
"I see, godfather."
He put the rope, machete, and bow in the bamboo basket he had prepared, and found a lot of wooden arrows with a wooden stick.
He was sharpening wooden arrows in the yard when Ye Yuning walked over.
Squatting next to him, casually playing with the sharpened wooden arrows, "Brother, do you really want to go to the mountains?" It's dangerous there. ”
"yes, I have to go to the mountains to find something to eat, I'll be back tomorrow night, it's fine." He didn't look up and continued to sharpen the wooden arrow.
Ye Yuning didn't say anything more, squatted aside with his cheeks and watched him sharpen the wooden arrow, and only spoke after a long time: "Then you come back early tomorrow, don't spend the night in the mountains, otherwise I will go to the mountains to find you in the evening."
"Okay" Wei Qijun smiled at her and reached out to touch her head, "Wait until tomorrow my brother will bring Ning Ning something delicious." ”
"I hate it, brother, why do you touch my head, I'm not a child." Ye Yuning's face turned red instantly, and he stood up, "Tomorrow when you leave, I'll cook for you." ”
"I'm going to leave tomorrow on the fourth watch, you don't have to get up, I'll just eat and leave." Of course, he was reluctant to let Ye Yuning get up on the fourth watch to cook for himself.
"That's not going to work, I'll get up tomorrow and make you something to eat." She ran away as fast as she could, without waiting for him to say another word.
"Silly sister." Wei Qijun shook his head helplessly, "Anyway, you can't get up from the fourth watch." ”
He muttered to himself, lowered his head and continued to sharpen the wooden arrow.
Following
It was still dark, and when it was still the third watch, Wei Qijun got up. In order not to wake up Father Ye, he tiptoed out of bed and walked to the kitchen to boil water for cooking.
After cooking the meal, he filled a bowl by himself, and covered the rest in the pot, so that Ye Yuning didn't have to cook anymore when he woke up, and he could eat it after heating it.
As soon as he finished eating, he saw Ye Yuning standing at the kitchen door yawning, and he couldn't help but chuckle: "Silly sister, you're really up." ”
"Brother, why did you get up so early, it's only four watches now." Ye Yuning yawned while stretching his waist, and his eyes were sleepy.
Wei Qijun picked up the wowotou and the kettle, "It's just right, I just wanted to leave you a note, there is rice in the pot, just eat it hot later." ”
"I've got to go, it's still early, let's go back to sleep."
He went to the yard and put the kettle and the nest head into the bamboo basket, checked whether the tools were complete, carried the bamboo basket, and set off without looking back.
"Brother" Ye Yuning shouted at him, and was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke, and whispered, "Be careful." ”
In fact, she wanted to say: Can you not go to the mountains?
Wei Qijun smiled at her and reassured her, "Got it, go back to sleep!" ”
