Xin Huzi watched Daddy take it down, the big bow hanging diagonally on his body, and pulled out a feather arrow from the quiver. I knew that there was prey coming to the door! Even though he was a little excited, he had never seen Daddy shoot arrows! When he was in Tunzi, although he had never seen Daddy archery, he could always hear some of Daddy's archery skills from Uncle Calf!

He was able to hunt with Daddy this time, and he also wanted to take a good look at Daddy's great ability to shoot arrows. But I didn't expect to be able to see so soon how Daddy shoots arrows. At this time, Xin Huzi was looking at Daddy who was half-squatting in front of him.

Xin Laosan still maintained a half-squatting posture, but the feather arrow in his hand had already been mounted, and the bowstring in his hand was already on. At this time, he was already sure that the sound he heard not far away must be an object in the old woods, with fur and horns.

Xin Laosan was also listening to a few small sounds not far away. The general location of the sound was also determined. And slowly moved the steps under his feet, so that he was facing the direction of the sound.

Xin Huzi also followed suit, moving his steps with Daddy's slow, silent appearance.

"Whoosh!"

But before Xin Huzi could turn around completely, Daddy suddenly straightened up and shot an arrow at a bush! At the moment when Xin Huzi just turned around, Xin Huzi saw a few "clucks!" from the grass not far away. Screams. Immediately, a colorful shadow flashed through the grass. Before Xin Huzi could see clearly, what the colored shadow was.

"Whoosh!"

Then there was another sound of feather arrows shooting, and the flashing colored shadows also fell into the grass again with the sound of feather arrows!

"Giggles! Cluck! ”

Immediately again, I heard the sound of colored shadows, and the screams of falling into the grass after being shot.

"Huzi, go take a look."

Xin Laosan smiled and said to Xiaohuzi, who was still in a half-squatting posture and had just turned around.

Xin Huzi looked up at his little head, and glanced at Daddy, who was smiling at himself with his head down, the big bow in his hand.

"Go! Look, what did Daddy hit? ”

"Huh!? Oh! ”

Xin Huzi, who reacted at this time, hurriedly stood up. But because of his calves, when he was squatting just now, he was a little numb, and he almost couldn't stand unsteadily and fell to the ground.

"Hahahaha!"

looked at the little tiger who couldn't react, and almost tripped over himself. It made Xin Laosan, who was holding a big bow, laugh out loud.

"Yes, what's so funny!"

Xin Huzi pouted his little mouth, and walked towards the colorful shadow shot by Daddy and the falling grass. While walking, he didn't forget to take a good look around. It made Xin Laosan, who was standing behind him, see his cautious appearance, and nodded silently with a smile.

When Xin Huzi came to the grass where the colored shadow fell. Then he pushed away the grass that blocked the colorful shadow object. But I saw a big-tailed pheasant of the boss! At this time, the pheasant still did not lose his breath, and continued to puff up his brightly colored belly. And the feather arrow hit the wings of the big-tailed pheasant. He was wearing a winged head and shot into its belly.

"Daddy! Yes, it's a big-tailed pheasant! Top dog! The boss is one! ”

Xin Huzi was a little excited, turned his head to the big bow standing not far away, still holding the big bow in his hand, and looked at his father.

"Haha! It seems that tonight, we have something good to eat! ”

Xin Huzi looked at the big-tailed pheasant that was still not breathing, but inadvertently met the guy's eyes. looked at its pleading look, and it was really unbearable. Before he could make any moves, the pheasant rolled his eyes, and suddenly lost his breath.

Xin Huzi looked at the pheasant that suddenly lost his breath. But he was a little stunned. The little eyes that met him inadvertently. It really made him seem to see the big-tailed pheasant shot by Daddy, as if he was pleading.

"What's wrong? Toilet? ”

Xin Laosan had already come to Xin Huzi's side at this time, and at this time he hung the big bow diagonally on his body again. He also took the first missed feather arrow back into the quiver. He saw that Xiaohuzi was facing it, and he had already rolled his eyes, and the big-tailed pheasant was silently looking like a god, so he asked.

"Nope! Nothing! It's just"

"What?"

"It's just, Daddy. Just now, just now this big-tailed pheasant. Like, it seems to be eye-to-eye with me? ”

"Huh? So what's going on? ”

"But, I always feel it"

"Hey! Don't you think, the little eyes of this big-tailed pheasant? Looking at you, it makes you feel quite pitiful? ”

"Hmm"

Xin Laosan stood beside Xiaohuzi and stroked it with his thick palm, and Xiaohuzi's little head said, "Huzi, let's not eat it." Then other things in the old forest will eat it. Even if other objects don't eat it, then we have to eat it in order to live. This is the rule in the old forest, even if it is us who walk around in the old forest. I met those big guys in the old woods, eating meat. It is not necessary to win them, and it is inevitable that they will be eaten alive. ”

"Oh!"

Xin Huzi still recalls from time to time the scene when the big-tailed pheasant met his eyes before he died. Although he himself was alone, he grew up eating these things in the woods, and wearing fur and horns. But the skin and flesh that were brought back to Tunzi by Daddy and Uncle Calf were all upside down by Daddy and Uncle Calf.

Even if you see some bloody prey heads, they are all things that have long since died. And the feeling of being a dead object and a living object is definitely different. Just like just now, the big-tailed pheasant was like that, inadvertently eye-to-eye with himself, but he was really a little pitiful, and the big-tailed pheasant that was shot by Daddy.

Although Daddy said these words, he still didn't understand a lot. But he also knew that it was true that he would be hungry if he didn't eat meat. Thinking about it, Xin Huzi shook his hand. The bread that is still in my hand. And I felt a little hungry just now, but at this time, somehow, I am not very hungry again. Then he put the bread in his hand back into the leather bag.

Looking at the squatting Daddy, he first pulled out the feather arrow from the big-tailed pheasant and put it back in the quiver. Only then did he pull out the iron knife pinned to his waist. When Xin Huzi saw Daddy and pulled out the iron knife on his waist, he knew that Daddy was right, and the big-tailed pheasant was disemboweled.

"Huzi!"

"Huh?"

"Take a good look and see how Daddy is doing, picking up this big tail goods! In the future, you will also learn from Daddy. ”

"Oh!"

Xin Huzi agreed, and sat next to Daddy. Cross-legged, watching Daddy hold the swarthy iron knife in his hand, and pick up the big-tailed pheasant.

Looking at the iron knife held in Daddy's hand, he also asked Daddy about the iron knife. But every time he asked, Daddy didn't pay attention to himself. Later, he stopped asking about the iron knife. And this swarthy iron knife has been beating him since he can remember, and he has not left an inch, pinned in Daddy's waist.

Several times, he wanted to take advantage of Daddy's sleep and secretly pull out this iron knife from under the leather blanket where Daddy was sleeping. But somehow, every time I couldn't touch it, the iron knife hidden under the leather blanket by Daddy before going to bed.

Xin Huzi looked at Daddy's very skillful and picked up the big-tailed pheasant. Daddy plucked it clean, and the chicken feathers on the belly of the big-tailed pheasant. With the iron knife in his hand, he cut a long hole along the chicken's belly. That's it, and those stomachs that can't be eaten are pulled out. When Daddy emptied the belly of the big-tailed pheasant. Then the big-tailed pheasant was hung on a branch that he had picked up.

Immediately, Xin Laosan handed the big-tailed pheasant hanging on the branch to the little tiger beside him: "Come, tiger!" Today, we went out hunting, and the first prey we hit. Just let you take it. When it was night, there was a fire. Let's bake it and eat it. ”

Xin Huzi looked at the branch with a big tail hanging on it that Daddy handed him. He hurriedly took it and said, "Okay! Good! Eat roast pheasant at night! Well, the chicken at Sister Huiniang's house is also very delicious! ”

"Haha! When we go back from hunting this time, you will stay at Master's house. ”

"Staying at Master's house?"

"Yes! Wait until we go back from the hunt this time. Daddy will leave you behind, and you will stay at Master's house for a few days. ”

"Why, why?"

"Because I learned words!"

"Do you have to stay at Master's house to learn words?"

"Haha! Do you want Daddy to take you back and forth twice every day, and you can't run to the bull market? This is a trip back and forth every day, I'm afraid that we won't do anything. It's enough to send you to the bull market to learn how to read, don't you say? “

"Oh!"

Xin Laosan handed the branch with a big tail to Xiaohuzi after handing it to Xiaohuzi. And he continued to walk forward. Xin Huzi also hurriedly put the branch of the hanging pheasant with a big tail on the leather bag he was carrying. Just one after the other, the two of them continued to walk forward.

Xin Huzi followed behind Daddy, although in the afternoon, he also heard some sounds in the woods. But I didn't hunt anything.

Just like that, when night fell, Xin Laosan picked a place and stopped at a somewhat high place. After Xin Laosan set up a bonfire with a fire fold, he stripped the big-tailed pheasant he had hunted during the day and strung it on a wooden stick. After touching some salt from the chicken's belly beforehand. He roasted the pheasant in his hand and kept turning. From time to time, he picked up a small amount of salt and sprinkled it over the squeaky chicken that was gradually roasting.

Xin Huzi sat on the side by Daddy, watching the pheasants roasted on the bonfire by Daddy. When the smell of meat came, his hunger during the day suddenly came up again. Immediately, there was a rumbling sound in the small stomach.

Xin Laosan looked at Xiaohuzi's greedy eyes, and he was about to flow out of the small appearance of Halazi, so he smiled and said, "Wait a while, this chicken will be roasted." Hey! Bite? Hungry? ”
