In the evening, the moon and stars are scarce.

Ji Ran stood alone at the entrance of the village, wandering for a long time, unwilling to go back.

It was getting late and late, but she didn't see Liu Zhan and her father come back, and she became more and more anxious.

"Sister Xiaoran, are you still here?" Under the moonlight, Brother Chen put on a coat and walked back.

It turned out that after he went home, he took care of the children and ate, but when he saw that Ji Ran had not come back, he was a little worried, so he came to the village.

As a result, Ji Ran was really here.

"Big brother, I'm so worried about my dad." Ji Ran's tone was full of tears, which made Brother Chen feel quite uncomfortable when he heard it.

"Sister, don't worry, or I'll look for it in the mountains." Brother Chen said, turned on the flashlight, and walked towards the mountain.

Ji Ran also hurriedly followed, "Brother Chen, thank you, I'm with you." ”

"Hmm." Brother Chen nodded and went up the mountain with Ji Ran.

However, as soon as the two walked halfway up the hill, they bumped into two people head-on, one carrying a sika deer on his shoulder, and the other carrying two big fat rabbits in his hands, these two people were none other than Liu Zhan and Ji's father.

When Ji Ran bumped into the two, he was really overjoyed, and tears of excitement flowed uncontrollably.

"Dad, why did you come back?" Although he was complaining on the surface, Ji Ran's heart was very happy.

"It's late to come back, so you don't feel at ease, isn't this going to the back mountain? There are so many animals that they have been chasing rabbits, and they have lost a lot of time. Father Ji said with a smile.

"Brother Chen? Why are you here? Liu Zhan looked at Brother Chen, then at Ji Ran and asked.

"Oh, I saw that Sister Xiaoran was waiting for you at the entrance of the village in the evening, and she was in a hurry, so I came over and told her, go to the mountains to look for you, didn't you just walk a short distance before I met you?" Brother Chen smiled and said.

"Xiao Chen, come, give you a rabbit, go back and peel the skin, stew and eat, it's fragrant." Father Ji said, handing over a big fat rabbit.

"Hey, Uncle Ji, no, how can I ask for this? It took a lot of effort for you to catch it. Brother Chen smiled and waved his hand again and again, refusing to ask for it.

"Oh, it's okay, there's one here, I'll ask you to eat venison tomorrow." Dad Ji said with a smile.

Brother Chen saw that Father Ji was so enthusiastic, so he had to reluctantly take it, "Okay, thank you, Uncle Ji." ”

"You're welcome, they're all neighbors, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and you don't take care of our family on weekdays." Father Ji said with a smile.

"By the way, Brother Chen, this is your firewood knife." Liu Zhan returned the firewood knife to Brother Chen.

"Just go to my house and get it when you use it in the future." Brother Chen said and took the firewood knife.

The four of them went home, Ji Ran lit a fire, boiled a large pot of water, and after the water was boiled, Liu Zhan had already disemboweled.

The rabbit skin was peeled off, and he was going to make a rabbit skin jacket for Su Su, but the rabbit meat was directly cut and thrown into the pot to cook.

Even though there is no seasoning, it is still irresistible for those who have not eaten meat in a long time.

Soon after, the rabbit meat was cooked, Ji Ran scooped up the meat, distributed it to the family, added some edible leaves to the pot of rabbit broth, boiled it into vegetable soup, and distributed it to the children who were still waiting.

Even though it was a vegetable soup without meat, the children ate it so well that they licked the bowl clean.

After dinner, Liu Zhan discussed with Ji Ran about moving.

It turned out that Liu Zhan found that the condition of the back mountain was much better than that of the front mountain, not only the vegetation was abundant, but also there were many animals, so it should be better to survive there.

If you continue to live in Maeyama, the resources are very limited, and you will not be able to support so many people for a long time.

"However, there is no place to live in the back mountain, where do we go to live in the back mountain? In case it is windy and rainy, we adults can still endure it, but what about Su Su? Ji Ran asked with some concern.

"My dad and I found a cave today, which can temporarily shelter from the wind and rain, and there is no shortage of wood in the back mountain, so we can build a hut by ourselves." Liu Zhan said to Ji Ran.

"Did you tell your dad about that?" Ji Ran asked.

"Yes, Dad said yes." Liu Zhan said.

"If that's the case, then let's go." Ji Ran nodded and agreed.

"By the way, don't tell others, after all, this is an extraordinary time, if everyone goes to the back mountain, the resources will be robbed soon, and we have to think about it for ourselves." Liu Zhan said to Ji Ran.

"Well, okay, do you want to inform Brother Chen next door? Brother Chen is a good person and has helped us a lot. Ji Ran discussed with Liu Zhan.

"Well, just tell him about one family, and don't tell anyone else." Liu Zhan said.

"yes, okay." Ji Ran nodded in agreement.

The next day, Ji Ran told Brother Chen about wanting to move to Houshan, and Brother Chen also wanted to go after hearing it, but when he went home to persuade his family, he was strongly opposed by his wife.

It turned out that his wife had always suspected that her husband had an ambiguous relationship with Ji Ran, plus Ji Ran was young and beautiful, she had no self-confidence, and she was full of vigilance against Ji Ran, plus Brother Chen was a warm-hearted person who often helped Ji Ran, so her suspicion became heavier and heavier.

Now I heard that her husband was going to move to Houshan with Ji Ran, and she didn't agree to anything, so Brother Chen had no choice but to decline Ji Ran's kindness and didn't move together, so Ji Ran had to go to Houshan with her family.

Ji Ran followed Liu Zhan to the back mountain, and finally found a cave, the entrance of the cave is about two meters high, five or six meters deep, although the area is not very large, but it is more than enough to accommodate a family.

When he came, Liu Zhan exchanged two deer legs for a firewood knife, and used the firewood knife to chop some wood and make a simple wooden fence to block the door to prevent wild beasts from breaking in.

Ji Ran found some hay and leaves and spread them in the cave, so that he could remove the moisture in the cave, and after laying the hay and leaves, Ji Ran laid the futon again, and lay on it to make it soft and comfortable, which was much more comfortable than the previous hard bedboard.

Liu Zhan bakes the whole deer skin to remove the moisture from the deer skin, so that it can be preserved for a long time.

After a day of cleaning up, the whole cave became a temporary home, although it was a little smaller, but it felt so warm.

I used to live in a bustling city where steel and concrete were poured, and although it was very lively, it was far away from nature.

At that time, Ji Ran dreamed that it would be great if one day he could build a cabin of his own in a paradise and live freely with his family.

And now, that dream seems to have come true...
