Chapter 44: A Bonfire Under the Stars

"Hmm!"

Xin Huzi listened to Daddy's question, and immediately ordered his little head melon.

Smelling the roast pheasant in Daddy's hand, which keeps tumbling. The smell of roasting really hooked his stomach and screamed. He also took some bread out of his leather bag early. Just wait for Daddy to bake the pheasant and eat it with bread.

Xin Laosan didn't say anything, just tossed for a while, the roast pheasant in his hand. So that the campfire can be grilled thoroughly, by the way, I pinched a little salt and sprinkled it on the roasted chicken.

But not long after, Xin Laosan suddenly grabbed a fat chicken leg. Only a few crisp "clicks" were heard, and the fat chicken leg broke away from the pheasant. It was really only in an instant, and the chicken leg was unloaded.

"Come on! Pick it up! ”

See the one that Daddy unloaded, roasting chicken thighs with golden butter oil. Xin Huzi hurriedly opened the cake that had been prepared in his hand a long time ago. It was just the cake in Xin Huzi's hand that he had just opened. The chicken leg that Daddy unloaded was on the bread in his hand.

"Hey! Eat slowly! It's still hot! ”

"Hmmm! I know, I know! ”

Xin Huzi said, blowing on the chicken legs, whirring hot. On the other hand, he stretched out his little hand and gently tore the chicken thigh meat on the cake. But it was really hot, and even the cold cake in his hand was thoroughly heated by this chicken thigh.

Looking at the little tiger blowing the hot air on the chicken legs, he used his little hands from time to time to tear the skin and flesh on the chicken legs. Xin Laosan laughed and said, "Take your time, don't be so anxious!" Beware of scalding your mouth! ”

"Really, it's delicious!"

Xin Huzi tore off a small piece of skin and meat from the chicken leg and put it in his mouth and chewed.

Xin Laosan continued to roast the pheasant in his hand for a while, and then he stretched out his hand and unloaded it very lightly and quickly, roasting one of the wings on the pheasant. His fingers, which pinched the tips of his wings, happened to be pinched on the wings, the least hot place. After he had removed the wing, he stuck the branch of the roasted pheasant in his hand into the dirt in front of the campfire.

"Daddy! To give! ”

Xin Huzi immediately handed over to Daddy after he took off the wings, a piece of cake that had been prepared a long time ago.

After Xin Laosan took the cake handed to him by Xiaohuzi, he put the wings in his hand on the cake. But he immediately took the bread in his hand, and he didn't take a bite of the wings on the bread without being too hot.

Just like that, the old and the young, sat cross-legged in front of the starry bonfire, and ate roast pheasants and cakes with a big gulp. After Xin Laosan finished eating the chicken leg in Xiaohuzi, he unloaded the other chicken leg and handed it to Xiaohuzi to eat. Xiaohuzi was eating, two fat and tender chicken legs, and a large cake, and he couldn't eat it anymore.

Then there was Xin Laosan, who ate the rest of the roast pheasant cleanly, and some crispy bones were also eaten by him as chews. It's really not a waste of anything.

When the two finished eating, they sat around the crackling bonfire. Xin Laosan took advantage of the rest and began to check the items in the large/burlap bag.

And Xin Huzi, who was beside him, leaned against a big tree. Tilting his little head up, he looked at the starry sky. He was in the tun, and when he couldn't sleep at night, he would look at the stars in the sky. Those bright objects in the sky really made him very curious! But every time I look at those uncounted stars, I always have a strange feeling. But when he was young, he didn't know what this strange thing was. I didn't really care about it, but I thought it was really nice to look at the stars in the sky.

Looking at him, I couldn't help but think of those little friends in the tunzi. In the past, when he was in the tunzi, the big guy often looked at the stars with his head tilted or lying on the grass slope with him. He still remembers Brother Heizi and Brother Da Zhuang, although when they were looking at the stars, they were always bickering. But listening to them arguing on the one hand, and looking at the stars in the sky at the other, it was also very happy.

"Hey! Toilet! What do you think? ”

Xin Laosan, who was busy with the things at hand, saw the little tiger who was leaning against the big tree and looking at the stars with his little head up. He asked. He is afraid of Xiaohuzi, this is the first time he goes out hunting with him, don't because there is no one in the tunzi, those little friends are lonely and bored.

"No, nothing."

Xin Huzi still looked up at the little head melon, looking at the stars in the sky.

"Daddy!"

"What?"

"Stars, where did the stars come from?"

"Stars"

Xin Laosan also followed Xiaohuzi's question, raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky. But when Xiaohuzi asked like this, he actually remembered that he seemed to have asked the old guy who took him out hunting.

"Hey! This star! It is what our ancestors became. They have become the stars in the sky, just to take a good look at us living on the earth. ”

"Huh? Do people turn into stars? ”

"Haha, yes! In the future, Daddy will also become a star in the sky. Good all the time, look at you kid! ”

"Just, don't! Daddy, Daddy will always be with Huzi! No, you can't be a star! ”

"Haha! Be! Be! Daddy will always be with you! ”

Xin Laosan said to the little tiger with a smile, then looked at the stars in the sky, but said in his heart: If you also change the star, then you can take a look at our little tiger. Ay! In a few years, I will tell Xiaohuzi that you are gone, this file. But I don't know if I can live a few years without Xiaohuzi!

Xin Laosan looked at it for a while, and then began to get busy with the things in his hands again. As a person who hunts in the old forest all year round, although he has some skills. But if you don't have enough stuff, you won't be able to do it. Therefore, Xin Laosan developed the habit of taking a look at the objects he brought with him when he was not going out hunting every time he was out hunting.

This was the first time he took Xiaohuzi out hunting, and he didn't really want to go deep into the woods. If you go deeper, it will take many days. After all, Xiaohuzi is only four years old, and the more he goes deep into the mountains and forests, the more difficult it is to walk. This time I went hunting, so I took the little tiger to wander around the border of the first section of the kidnapping mountain, and hunted some guys with fur and horns and went back.

It is said that now is the season when the sun is warm, but it is not a big winter when people are frozen, even if you hunt some big guys, it will be too hot to take with you. If you take it for a long time, won't the flesh you hunt stink? That's a waste, isn't it? If he walks like this with Xiaohuzi and really hunts the big guy, he will go back to Tunzi with Xiaohuzi. Then he sent Xiaohuzi to Brother Yan and followed Brother Yan to learn words for a few days.

Xin Laosan thought about it, so he rolled two sheets in a burlap pocket and took out the skins. These two skins are the covers of him and Xiaohuzi at night, when they spend the night. When you sleep, lean against the tree next to the campfire, cover it with skin, and you're done.

"Hey! Toilet! Then! ”

Xin Laosan said, and threw a piece of leather in his hand to the little tiger who was still looking at the stars in a daze.

"Oh!"

Although Xin Huzi didn't look at Daddy's direction, he also knew that Daddy threw the skin he was covering when he was sleeping. He stretched out his hands in Daddy's direction. The skin covered his face at once, which really made him a little annoyed.

"Daddy!"

"Hahahaha!"

Xin Laosan smiled and came to the bonfire. He added some branches to the fire, but pulled the flames of the bonfire. Let the flames burn a little stronger, a lot smaller. This is also to make the bonfire not burn too fast. After all, the night is still long, and if it burns too quickly, it will really not have enough branches. And at night is also a more dangerous time, most of the hunters walking in the old forest are not walking around the campfire at this time.

As long as there is a flame of a bonfire, these fur-covered objects in the forest will not dare to come near. But Xin Laosan couldn't sleep too deeply, after all, there was no one to help the rotating vigil.

Xin Laosan pulled the flames in the bonfire in front of him a lot smaller. He leaned under a big tree next to the bonfire, and then said to the little tiger not far away, "Come, Huzi." ”

"Oh!"

Xin Huzi agreed, and then dragged the skin in his hand and came to Daddy's side. Leaning on Daddy's side, he covered the leather on his body and lay on the soft turf, but he was pillowing the leather bag he was carrying.

"Hey! Sleep fast! Tomorrow, we have to get up early! ”

"Hmm!"

Xin Laosan glanced at it, and Xiaohuzi, who had already closed his eyes and was about to sleep. On the other side of him lay a large/linen bag and his large bow and quiver. A feather arrow was pulled out by him in advance, but the iron arrow of the feather arrow was inserted into the ground at this time. But Xin Laosan is always ready, and whenever something is wrong, he can put arrows on the big bow.

Xin Laosan leaned against the big tree and covered it with skin, but one of his hands was on the big bow on the side. Just like that, staring at the campfire in front of me.

But I remembered again that the stars that Xiaohuzi said just now. I inadvertently thought of another person who talked to him about the stars. That person also used to be at night, so he accompanied her to see the stars all night. But the man said something different from the stars that the old man had said. That person

Xin Laosan thought about it, but he didn't want to continue thinking about it. Over the years, although I still will, I always think of her. But he knows that even if he can't let go? What's the use of that? It was precisely because of this that he felt even more ashamed that Juan Zi and her sister came.

Xin Laosan raised his head and leaned his head against the tree. Looking at the stars in the sky, I just looked at it wordlessly.
