Chapter 16: Shooting the Condor (I)
Reading Pavilion 『 』, the full text is free to read.
It is naturally a good sign that the sun shines in one place all the time, so our houses are built towards the sun.
But to say that the sunlight coming down from the cracks in the clouds is a good omen, which is a bit far-fetched. It's a good psychological placebo though.
When the rain stopped, Huzi and I went hunting with shotguns on our backs, and it was still the same place, or the same group of roe deer, and it was still the same two shots.
I even had the illusion that it was like a repetition of the plot of a TV series.
When Huzi and I walked back, Huzi was worried, he said, "Lao Chen, we shoot two every day, will we run out of roe deer!" ”
I said, "Probably not, there are a lot of roe deer in this herd." ”
Huzi nodded and said, "I hope so." ”
It was still early, and Huzi and I picked a lot of wild vegetables in bags. It wasn't until four o'clock in the afternoon that we went down the mountain.
When we got to the bottom of the mountain, I happened to see the dragon finish their work, and we came back together.
Both roe deer were sold to Hu Junjie, and at the same time, we also saw that Hu Junjie and they also picked a lot of mountain vegetables and some mushrooms.
Things like wild vegetables and mushrooms can't be used as staple foods, and they don't have any calories. But it's still good as a non-staple food. When we were leaving, the dragon was kind enough to bring us a few mushrooms, handed them to me, and said, "You are few people, a few mushrooms are enough to make a pot of soup to drink." This was discovered by the brethren when they were cutting down the tree today. ”
I said, "yes, mushrooms are the easiest to grow on this rainy day." Thank you! ”
When we went back, Erzhu'er was sitting by the fire boiling water, and I gave him the mushrooms, and I said, "This is from the dragon who entered the earth, and said that we should make soup and drink." ”
The second pick-up picked up the mushroom, looked at it again and again, and said, "I'm afraid this mushroom is poisonous." ”
Huzi was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Poisonous? Damn, this is going to be a big deal! ”
Saying that Huzi was about to go downstairs, Er Zhu'er said loudly: "What are you panicking about, poison doesn't kill people." ”
As he spoke, he threw the mushrooms into a small pot and boiled them in it. Er Zhu'er said: "If it is cooked, it will not be so toxic, and this poison has nothing to do with it." ”
Huzi exhaled and said, "Second Dad, can you not be so panting so loudly, this scares me." ”
After the mushrooms were boiled, they put wild vegetables in them and boiled them. After boiling for two more boils, I took the small pot down and set it aside. The three of us ate the meat around the small pot and drank the soup with a spoon.
This soup is delicious, and the more I drink it, the more I want to drink it, and before I know it, most of this pot of soup has been drunk by me and Huzi.
After drinking a small bowl, Erzhu'er said that he was full, and fell aside to close his eyes and recuperate.
After drinking, I felt relaxed, my body was warm, and I didn't sweat, so I felt comfortable staying there. Looking at Huzi again, he was already asleep with a smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth were still drooling.
I was like I was drunk, leaning against the wall in a daze, and just about to go to sleep, I heard the sound of a girl laughing, and I said impatiently, "Here we go again!" ”
I had thought it was the laughter in the fog outside, but then I noticed that this time it was different, and I saw a few little people one foot tall climbing up the stairs, and when they got into the house, they danced to me right in front of me. This was a novelty to me.
I just watched these beautiful little people dancing here, and I thought to myself, I'm afraid I'm not in Lilliputian country.
Huzi also woke up at this time, he leaned on my shoulder, put his arm around my waist and said, "Comrade Chen, where are we, how is this TV acting the same as the real thing!" ”
I said, "yes, the little people on this TV are all out!" ”
Huzi and I leaned on each other like this, watching these little people dance in the house, and I don't know when I fell asleep, and I don't know if I fell asleep first or Huzi fell asleep first.
I didn't react until I woke up the next day, I sat up sharply and pushed Huzi awake.
After Huzi woke up, he also remembered the events of last night, and he gestured with his hand and said to me: "Lao Chen, I saw a group of little people dancing here last night. The villain is so tall, it's amazing! ”
I said, "I see it too." ”
Er Zhu'er laughed on the side and said, "You drink too much soup, and most of the people who are poisoned by this mushroom see the villain dancing." I was poisoned when I was young, and I saw my grandmother dancing in front of me when she was so small, and the iron pillar that came with me saw his mother-in-law dancing on the table in front of me. ”
Huzi said: "Second father, why didn't you say it earlier? ”
Erzhu'er smiled and said, "I just want you two to feel it, it's actually quite fun." The poison of this mushroom can cause people to hallucinate. ”
Huzi said thoughtfully at this time: "Old Chen, do you think that the Yin soldiers we saw are related to this mushroom?" ”
I shook my head and said, "That's unlikely!" Unless the mushroom can release/release toxins in the mist, but how many mushrooms are there? This Black Dragon Valley is so big that it is simply not enough to poison us. Let's go, go to the front and have a look, I guess the people in front have also seen the villain dancing. ”
When Huzi and I got to the front, these people were gathering together to discuss.
After I came over, Grandpa Bai came over and looked at me and said, "Chen Yuan, did you eat mushrooms last night?" ”
I said, "Do you see a very small group of people dancing?" Erjie'er said that the poisonous properties of this mushroom make people hallucinate, eating less will help sleep, and eating too much will see the villain dancing, it doesn't matter. ”
As soon as I said this, everyone was relieved.
Bai Hui said: "If you didn't say it earlier, everyone thought it was a ghost." Luckily, I didn't eat much, otherwise it wouldn't have scared me to death. ”
I said, "I also just found out, Er Zhu'er didn't tell me and Huzi last night." ”
Huzi raised his hand at this time and said, "I swear, what Lao Chen said is true." My second dad didn't say anything last night, and he only said it this morning. It's said that it is to let everyone feel the wonder of this mushroom, and it is also an interesting experience in life, isn't it? ”
I looked around, the three of them were gone, Huzi and I went straight to Bangmao Mountain, and the dragon had already been excavated.
It's drizzling today, and Huzi and I don't plan to go hunting.
Hu Junjie: Their food is enough to eat for two days, and Huzi and I don't need to go out hunting on a rainy day.
Huzi and I have a strong interest in digging holes for the dragons, but the big ones don't let us in, so we can only keep guarding the entrance of the cave.
The big man pushed the cart out, and Huzi and I would help push it, and over time, the big man's attitude towards us both improved.
Finally, we touched the big man, and when he came back, he came to the entrance of the cave and beckoned to us and said, "Come in and have a look!" ”
Huzi and I jumped up happily like two children, and as soon as we bent down, we followed the big one.
This hole is more than ten meters deep, and people need to bend down to get into it. This hole is a circular cross-section with a diameter of about one meter eight, and we have to be careful when we enter it, for fear of hitting our heads. When the big men walk in it, they have to bend over.
We quickly came to the end with a piece of granite standing in the way.
But at this time, there is no water dripping down from above, and people feel a lot better.
But the girl's clothes were still soaked, her hair was sticking to her face, and her clothes were sticking to her body. Huzi and I couldn't help but look at me twice, and the girl glared at me and said, "What do you see!" Go home and see your mom! ”
I knew I was offended, and I blushed with shame. He didn't dare to look at this girl anymore, but said to the dragon, "Brother Long, can this stone go around?" ”
The dragon shook his head and said, "If you make a hole in this way, you can't turn a corner, and if you turn a corner, the workload of this woven support bucket is too great." ”
I said, "How can such a big stone be straightened!" ”
The girl snorted and said, "There is the fourth uncle here, and there is no stone that can't be opened!" ”
The dragon smiled and said, "Look at it! ”
