Chapter 3: Rushing to the Mountains (2)

He Yu also got the nickname of "Dog Baby" because of his expertise in dog training, and was called "Dog Baby" by the villagers.

It's nothing, the names of other children in the village are also very crooked, such as "Dog Egg", "Er Stunned" and the like, they have always been called, and these names are not necessarily better than "Dog Baby".

Therefore, although He Yu doesn't like the title of "dog baby", he has no way not to let people bark, so he can only let it go.

On the morning of the Cold Dew Festival, all the people in the village gathered in front of the mountain temple.

The mountain temple is very simple, on a flat ground at the entrance to the mountain, made of four stone slabs about one and a half feet long, made of stone box. There is an incense burner inside, and three incense sticks are inserted in the incense burner.

In front of the box were three large plates, a boiled chicken, a duck, and a piece of pork.

The ritual ends in about 10 minutes by the village's shigong (shaman) chanting the ritual and burning the paper money.

As the village elder shouted: "Enter the mountain!" It marks the beginning of this year's mountain rush.

He Yu's father, in the first wave, set off, and his mother took his brother and sister out to visit relatives.

He Yu's father, originally worried that He Yu would enter the mountain alone, but he couldn't resist him, and looked at the tall and mighty rhubarb on the side, so he nodded and agreed!

He Yu carried a small basket and his beloved small bow and arrow, this small bow and arrow was specially made by the uncle for He Yu, which is very suitable for He Yu, who usually practices archery in the village, he can be nine out of ten, which makes the friends very envious!

He Yu put on a worn-out woodcutter, although it looked rusty, but the edge of the knife was also sharpened, and the lethality was obviously not small!

He Yu followed those children, a nest of wind into the mountain, and began the first time in his life to go to the mountain.

The big yellow dog followed behind He Yu, and after entering the mountain, he changed his previous relaxed and cheerful state, his ears were erect, his eyes looked around, and he paid vigilant attention to the movements around him.

After all, He Yuren lacked strength and did not have an adult to greet him, so he couldn't keep up with the team not long after he came up the mountain.

Finally, after He Yu tried his best to pick a few tea seeds from a tea tree, the team that drove the mountain had disappeared from He Yu's sight.

The children in the mountains are wild and bold.

Although he was alone, He Yu did not retreat and continued to walk towards the mountain with Rhubarb.

Touching the tea oil tree, He Yu's eyes are particularly good, almost every tree, he can find some tea seeds to pick up the leakage, after most of the day, the harvest is really not small, just the tea seeds have more than ten catties, and can also pick up a complete tree of chestnuts and a few wild pears.

He Yu tasted a few hairy chestnuts, the taste was very fragrant, thinking about his beloved sister, the gluttony when eating hairy chestnuts, he resisted the urge to continue eating, and put them all away.

More than ten pounds of courage is also a big burden for an eight-year-old child, He Yu is a little tired!

He wiped the sweat from his face and sat down under a tree to rest, while rhubarb sniffed on the side.

Suddenly, Rhubarb screamed at the bushes behind the trees, and a gray shadow escaped from one of the bushes and fled up the mountain.

He Yu looked at it and saw that it was a rabbit with an injured hind leg.

He Yu gave Rhubarb a bite command, and he himself quickly took off his small bow, mounted an arrow, followed Rhubarb's direction, and chased forward.

Earlier, Rhubarb had caught up with the gray rabbit and had entered the stalemate, although the rhubarb could not catch the gray rabbit, but the gray rabbit was also forced by the rhubarb to turn around and could not escape.

Seeing He Yu appear, Rhubarb cleverly forced the gray rabbit to his side, and with a string sound, the gray rabbit fell in response.

Rhubarb jumped high, bit it, and sent it over, shaking his head and shaking his head excitedly, and jumping non-stop.

He Yu also jumped up with joy, and after the excitement, he was deeply tired.

What made He Yu even more frustrated was that he was lost! In the process of chasing the rabbit, He Yu left the mountain trail and entered the mountain forest, although it was not very far, he still could not find the way.

It is very difficult to find your way in the mountains, because it is hidden by trees, and sometimes you can't see the road even if it's only a few feet away!

The sun is about to set, and the people who are driving the mountain are almost home, and the mountain is quiet.

Although He Yu didn't know where this was, he felt that he was still a long way from home.

Regardless of his fatigue, He Yu gave Rhubarb instructions to go home while looking for a way home.

I don't know if it's the dog's personality like this, or if the rhubarb is also lost, the rhubarb sniffs in the east and sniffs in the west, and takes He Yu around and around, and it took a long time to return to the familiar mountain path.

Although the sky was not completely dark, under the cover of the trees, the road was already blurred, and He Yu took the rhubarb and rushed back one foot at a time.

The mountain wind blows, leaves, branches, all kinds of strange sounds. Thinking of the various stories of gods and ghosts he heard, He Yu was terrified.

Finally, before it was completely dark, He Yu came to the intersection of the mountain, and also heard his father's familiar, loud, and anxious "dog baby" barking. With a whoosh, the rhubarb passed past He Yu, grabbed the front and ran to the old master.

Although he likes to play with He Yu, Rhubarb, who is full of spirituality, is also very clear about who is the real master of the family!

For He Yu's father, once he heard his instructions, Rhubarb immediately showed a deliberate greeting and stuttering, and even He Yu could ignore it!

He Yu rushed to the mountains on the first day, although a little accident happened and gave him a small wake-up call, but the honor he gained was also huge.

As the news of He Yu's hunting of rabbits spread in the village, He Yu became a hero in the hearts of the villagers.

He Yu was lucky and picked up a bargain. If it is an uninjured rabbit, even with rhubarb, there is no way to hunt it.

Even so, he almost couldn't find his way home, He Yu knew that heroes were not so easy to be, and they were accompanied by huge risks.

In the next few days of rushing to the mountain, He Yu learned a lesson and followed the big team, which was decent and lackluster in terms of harvest.

In addition to the stable tea seeds of about 20 catties every day, he also picked a lot of wild fruits, and happened to pick a nest of mushrooms, but he never got any other prey.

He Yu can hold back the urge to be in the limelight, but there are still many friends who want to be heroes.

In the next few days, the shouts of "two stunned", "dog eggs", "three fools" and other people all over the mountains and fields added a scenery to this year's mountain rush.

Although there were no major incidents of casualties or missing people in the village until the end of the mountain drive, it was inevitable that the three fools and a few other parties involved would be frightened.
