Chapter 15: Leisure Time (II)
It seems that he is reminiscing about his mother's cooking skills, and Xu Han is not really ignorant and eats alone. Looking back at the busy parents.
Xu Shan was still working the tough bamboo poles, the bamboo knots of similar size were neatly placed beside him, and the peeled skin was piled up as high as a hill. He Nu took down the high wooden basin from the side wall, there are some benefits in the mountain boundary, there are many rare things but no one fights for them, many things in the house have been used for many years and still do not deteriorate, there are no insects and ants, and the fragrance is unique and long-lasting.......
She took the purple bamboo skin that her husband had peeled off and put it in a wooden basin, and the hot water on the stove was boiling, so she took the kettle and carefully poured the hot water into the wooden basin to soak.
Behind the stove there is a small pile of flame stones, which the villagers have mined from the mineral veins in the mountains, and there is nothing special about this stone, except that it can be burned, and it can be ignited without much effort. It's a pity that the fire generated by the flame stone is mild, but it is not used to cook on weekdays, but it is suitable for heating in winter, and boiling some boiling water on the stove is usually suitable.
Xu Han took the small black stone shovel and shoveled a small pile of flame stones into the furnace, the hot breath rushed to the face, squatted down carefully, opened the small valve at the bottom of the side of the stove, and took out the burned lime. And the humble father only cared about hard work, and didn't care that the thin and delicate mother was tired and sweaty.
Xu Han rushed over, grabbed the stone mill from his mother's hand without saying anything, and carried it back to the house with one hand. He Nu followed in with a smile on her face, and stroked her son's cheek with pity, "Mother can do it, Han'er, you are so thin, don't exhaust yourself!"
Xu Shan kept his head down thoughtfully, and at this time he raised his head in confusion and asked in surprise, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" Then he saw the stone mill on the ground, and he knew it, and smiled at his wife, "It's okay, this little fool has a lot of strength, and he can't be tired!"
He Nu lowered her face, "I will talk cool here, and I won't see you help!" Xu Shan didn't dare to speak, only lowered his head deeply, hated to bury himself in the ground, and muttered "I don't know how to save some face..... He Nu didn't bother to deal with him, but softly told her son to sit down and rest, don't tire yourself.
"I'm fine!Mother, it takes some effort to use this stone mill, you sit down first, let me come!"
Xu Hanzi was much more careful than his father, and he couldn't bear the tiredness of the He girl, so he took out the soaked bamboo skin in the basin by himself, threw it into the stone mill, grabbed the wooden handle, and turned it effortlessly.
He Nu robbed him, but he was helpless and still had to be done by his son. It's just that he still doesn't forget to tell "If you are tired, take a rest, don't be strong!"
Seeing her son's response, He Nu relaxed a little, took the plate and took out the pile of sharp sauce and meat, and walked out of the door, and sent it to the ancestor first......
"Smack!"
Before He Nu went far, Xu Shan, who was as honest as a cow just now, immediately raised his toes and slapped Xu Han on the back of his head, so shocked that the young man jumped high, jumped a few steps and looked back at his father in surprise!
I saw Xu Shan frowning and looking at his palm, "Tsk, it's really solid, it hurts to beat ....."
"I'm .....," Xu Han touched the back of his head and almost didn't burst out of a foul mouth!" "You...... You...... You're bullying me!I'll feel good when my mother comes back!" The boy shouted loudly, feeling a little hoarse.
Xu Shan looked at his son, who was very aggrieved and didn't know why, tilted his head and sneered and said, "Yohe, you still want to sue, right, I'm afraid you don't have the courage!" As he spoke, he sat up straight and raised his father's posture, "Tell me, where did you go last night?"
Hearing the question, Xu Han's heart jumped suddenly, his eyes widened and he looked at his stout father incredulously, and a thought flashed in his heart: "How could it be? Where did you show your feet? Did you come back last night because of the big movement?" No, I'm familiar with it!" Xu Han knows his father's appearance when he sleeps, and he won't wake up if the thunder doesn't hit his head, and he will never be so alert! Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he remembered where the flaws were exposed!
I saw him put on a wronged expression, and his voice was crying: "I'm not going anywhere! How can you insult people's innocence out of thin air!"
Xu Shan saw his son's hard performance, he didn't say anything with a sneer on his face, but turned his head sideways and pointed to the big black axe leaning against the corner of the wall without replying, and then looked at Xu Han who was depressed again.
"That's really the case!" Xu Han secretly blamed himself for being confused, in the past, he frolicked and hunted in the mountains and forests, and he went alone, but last night was different, last night he went to seek revenge, in case his own combat strength was insufficient, he specially carried an ax and went out for a walk, but he didn't want to find revenge, but he exposed himself, and if he wanted to sneak out in the future, I'm afraid it would not be so simple......
"Hmph......." Xu Shan saw that his son accepted the words, and Xu Shan was even more proud after not calling the sky to bend "When I went out in the morning, I noticed that there was a difference in the axe blade, and there was a lot of juice attached to the blade, and after smelling it, I found that it was all towering giant trees in the deep forest, and the smell of vines and plants, not only that, but there was also a slight smell of scales on the blade, and I was also surprised about this, and when I came back, I saw that your kid was still sleeping with his head covered, and his father was a sharp hunter in the village, and you still want to hide from me with so many flaws? The more he talked, the more complacent he became, letting the Buddha wander at the bottom of the deep lake, clear and cold and comfortably tight! In the past, he was not less affected by the ups and downs of the mother, but this time he could be regarded as having found a place! If it weren't for the majesty of his father, Xu Shan would have twitched with a smile!
Thinking of the consequences of his mother knowing this, Xu Han couldn't help but shudder a few times!
It's not that he doesn't resist beating, it's just that his mother has always cared for him very much, if he knew that he was doing such a deviant thing behind her back, he would be very distressed and wash his face with tears, which is the thing that makes Xu Han have the most headache!
At the moment, he can only coax this old fool whose nose is about to rise to the sky! Slipped behind his father neatly, the young man smiled and wiped the dust on his hands, recalled the professional massage techniques in his previous life, and rubbed his father's shoulder: "Hey, daddy! Do you think this strength is still appropriate?"
Xu Shan snorted twice, "It's not bad, don't stop ........ hands" Xu Han looked at his pleasant appearance and hated the three souls out of his body, and the seven spirits ascended to heaven! The kneaded hands almost beckoned to Xu Shan's thick neck, and he took a few breaths of cool air to suppress the mania in his heart!
"I just saw the charming moonlight last night, and I wanted to sneak out for a while when I was in high spirits, and I took your axe for self-defense, so you don't need to alarm my mother when you look at these little things!"
"Phew!" Xu Shan spat at the mouth, pulled his eyebrows and said disdainfully, "The moonlight is charming?" I remember the first time you saw a few big moons in the sky, but you were so frightened that you hid in the house and trembled for a long time, how did you change your personality now?"
After taking a breath, Xu Shan continued to say with disdain: "Besides, can't you see the moon in that house? In the middle of the night, you climbed several mountains to see the moon, and the moon on the other side of the mountain is relatively large or round?"
Xu Han was dumbfounded by his father, so he had to smile embarrassedly, "It's just that I'm interested..... Interested......"
Knowing that his son had softened, Xu Shan's tone was no longer so aggressive, and he said, "And I didn't say you, how many fierce birds and beasts there are in the forest, how much do you know as a child, even me and the uncles in the village don't dare to trespass at night! Don't think that you can do anything wrong with a little strength on your own! If you really want to suffer some injuries and lose your life, you don't want to think about how sad your mother should be!"
Xu Han also knew the severity, silently walked around to his father, bowed his head and said, "I know it's wrong, I won't dare to ..... in the future."
Xu Shan was very relieved to see that his son knew something, but he didn't put it down in his mouth, "I dare to lie, look at the moon and see Lao Tzu's axe smells fishy....... In the end, Xu Shan suddenly looked shocked, looked Xu Han up and down, and said with doubts "You....... Aren't you hungry looking for something to eat?"
Xu Han was suddenly taken aback when he heard this, but he didn't think that this clue really made his father see a little bit of the truth! Because he eats an amazing amount on weekdays, he can't feed this thin body no matter how much he eats, not to mention Xu Han himself, He Nu and Xu Shan also have a headache, because of his son's bottomless belly, Xu Shan will always get more meat when the villagers will hunt on weekdays. Not only that, as long as he is free, Xu Shan will also go into the mountain alone and hunt some ordinary animals to go home.
Xu Han knew that his father was hard, when he first entered the mountains and forests, he was curious about the realm in the mountains, and secondly, he was to support himself, and he couldn't bear that his parents worked too hard. In the end, hunting beasts are also fighting for their lives, and there will be that unfortunate time!
"Of course not!" Xu Han blushed and tried his best to deny it, if he admitted it, his parents would not have to fight for him in the future, "I..... I'm that big, but I'm wandering around the village all the time, and it's boring...... I just want to find something new and fun for myself!"
Xu Shan stared at his son and asked in a solemn voice, "Is that really the case?"
Xu Han's eyes widened and cleared, and he nodded desperately, this level must be passed first anyway!
Xu Shan saw his son's assurance, and his breath was also relieved, thinking that his child was only eight years old, and it was the age when he liked to flutter and play but didn't know the severity, and it was normal to behave like this, so he asked, "That was the first time last night, and I haven't been so ridiculous before, right?"
Xu Han is really not a child, he has a bit of a way of observing words and feelings, and immediately noticed that his father's words were loose and did not seem to be held responsible, and he was immediately overjoyed: "It's really the first time! Otherwise, with your intelligence, how can you find out the flaw today? I must have been found out by you a long time ago!"
This not light and itchy sycophant coaxed Xu Shan to be particularly elated, and immediately let this fool show his original form, leaned back in the chair, crossed his legs, grinned and said with a faceless smile, "Hmph! This is also true, you little cub can have a little trick to hide from me, a good hunter!"
Xu Han nodded yes again and again, and the light of reverence in his eyes was about to flood out!
"Since you know that you are wrong, and you are a first-time offender, I won't sue your mother........" Xu Shan looked at his honest son like a chicken, and suddenly smiled treacherously in the middle of his words, "That's ...... How can you repay me?"
