Chapter 60: Windfall
It's a pretty big wood.
After Chen Xi set out the trap, he continued to set off, the sun became more and more intense, and the temperature began to rise.
She picked mushrooms and medicinal plants along the way, and saw bird eggs also go up the tree to collect them.
A moment later.
They almost fill up the storage space.
Enough to eat for a while.
Chen Xi patted the dead wood chips on her body, but the grass seeds that were stained were very stubborn, she was so tired that she couldn't help but raise her hand to wipe her sweat, and stood in the forest to rest and breathe.
Suddenly.
There was a sound of rustling.
Chen Xi became vigilant.
It turned out to be a colorful pheasant, and it looked extraordinarily fat? After a winter, I couldn't even starve it? You can see how capable it is.
Chen Xi swallowed her saliva, her throat was so dry that it was about to smoke, she stopped wiping her sweat, her eyes stared at it, her heart began to think about it, and she waited motionlessly for the opportunity.
The pheasant looked bold, and pecked and rummaged for bugs.
For a moment, all you could hear was the rustling of fallen leaves.
Chen Xi waited patiently, and when he saw it getting closer and closer, he seized the opportunity and rushed towards it, but naturally he didn't catch it, so he startled it and let out a scream, and plopped into the grass.
She immediately chased after her, relying on her tall legs and long legs, and quickly chased after her.
The pheasants in the mountains are no better than domestic, and their bodies are flexible and wild, so they can't catch them.
Chen Xi rarely encountered his prey, and almost caught it several times, not wanting it to miss in front of him, so he chased it closely, but on the way, a slippery person suddenly fell to the side.
Who would have thought that after the rain the ground was soft, she focused on catching pheasants and instead pitted herself.
And there was a deep pit on the side of the weeds, and she regretted that she was stumped by a pheasant, and her brain was so eager that she lost her defense.
After the feeling of weightlessness, the feeling was pain, Chen Xi's head hit the stone at the bottom of the pit, and he fainted immediately after the darkness in front of him, and he no longer felt it.
*
When Chen Xi woke up again, it was almost dark.
She endured a headache and looked at the wooden roof in front of her and couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that she had crossed again, but she raised her hand to see that it was still a familiar finger.
The abrasion of the palm is also there.
Chen Xi looked around and found himself in the bed of a wooden house, which was very lively, in addition to the wooden bed, there were some wooden cabinets, dishes and chopsticks.
It's quiet all around.
Her attention quickly fell on the little girl sitting on the edge of the wooden door, and she saw that she was looking down and rapidly weaving something, which could be vaguely seen as a knotted thing.
The smell of food mixed with firewood wafting outside made her swallow.
From morning to evening, she ate a bowl of mushroom porridge and two cakes, and she did all manual work, and the little things in the morning had already been digested.
She was hungry, her stomach was bulging, and her tongue was dry.
She was simply hungry and thirsty.
The little girl over there didn't notice that she woke up, Chen Xi had to stand up by herself, she knew that she had been rescued, and her clothes were intact.
The first guess is that the other party is a kind-hearted person.
Chen Xicai sat up with his body propped up, and a tall and strong figure appeared outside the door of the wooden house, the other party was bowing in with two bowls of steaming food, raised his eyes and met her and laughed in surprise: "Yo, you are awake." ”
Chen Xi looked at this tall and strong man and felt very insecure, but he still nodded, and said in a dumb voice to him: "Thank you so much, you saved me, right?" ”
The tall man put down the soup bowl and said with a hearty smile: "Harm, it's not about saving or not, it's just a hand, but it's a little girl, you look at the eyes, where did you come from?" How did you come to us? ”
In those years, there was a lot of chaos outside, and there were often merchants who were left alone after being robbed by bandits, and then they got lost in the woods, or the black households fled in all directions.
Chen Xisheng is good-looking, even if he deliberately draws thick eyebrows and wears boys' clothes, it is just like a god, the girl is delicate and soft, Zhang Hansan picked her up on the way and knew that she was a little girl like his daughter.
The other party is not like a bad person.
But she didn't dare to talk nonsense.
When the man saw that she was silent, he looked at her dress, although it was tattered but with fine skin and tender flesh, he unilaterally regarded her as a black household who escaped after her family went bankrupt and was sold.
It's not easy for anyone to live these days, the man just said to himself.
Chen Xi also gradually learned the situation from this man's mouth, it turned out that this mountain forest was called Fengwei Forest, because it was connected to Phoenix Mountain, so it had this name.
The tall man's name is Zhang Hansan, and the little girl over there is his daughter's name Song Tao, because of the accident caused by ear disease, he can't hear clearly, and he can't speak.
The daughter-in-law does not have the same surname as him, because he is the son-in-law of the Song family, and his daughter-in-law is the only daughter of Orion.
So the father and daughter were left in the hut to live on each other, living on hunting and other chores.
Zhang Hansan has a Zhang Guozi face and a beard, but his eyes are bright and honest.
I feel very warm-hearted.
No wonder it will save her.
Chen Xi learned from him that there were many hunters living in Fengwei Forest in the past, but later there were more people and less prey, and the risk of hunting was high, so people gradually migrated.
Zhang Hansan's daughter was almost bullied in the past because she was too beautiful, and because of this, she was broken, and her ears were half-deaf, and there were many gossips in the nearby villages, so in order to avoid these, he took his daughter to stay here.
Chen Xi looked at the little girl over there, she only reacted after her father came in, and then looked at this side, the eyes of the two met, and the other party avoided it in an instant.
Chen Xi could see her beautiful and delicate facial features, but unfortunately there was an ugly scar on her forehead lying on her head, she guessed that she was grabbed by someone and knocked on the ground at that time, and a trace of resentment and pity arose inexplicably in her heart.
Zhang Hansan saw Chen Xi's gaze without being frightened and said with a hearty smile: "My girl is very scared, you take care of it, come, let's eat first, I let her go to the kitchen to eat, she is not used to sharing the table with others." ”
Chen Xi shook his head slightly, pulled the wound on his forehead and gasped again, and then said with a smile: "It's nothing, I'm bothering you." ”
Zhang Hansan was very enthusiastic, and when he met him for the first time, he saw that there was no unusual scar on his daughter's forehead, so he became more and more attentive to her.
Between dinners.
Zhang Hansan took good care of Chen Xi, and added food to her, just like his little girl, the little girl named Song Tao finally sat next to her father, and she didn't dare to look at Chen Xi the whole time, she kept her head down, and was very shy and introverted.
Chen Xi used to talk less than she was shy in her heart, she was self-respecting and cold, and when she grew up, she was also beaten by society, so that she quickly passed through the second year of secondary school and understood that people have to be flexible if they want to integrate into society.
