"Are you leaving?" Lin Huan'er furrowed her brows, with some impatience in her tone.

"Go, go." Li Zheng didn't talk nonsense at all, and kept up.

"You're not reading anymore? I heard that before we moved here, you read books at home for two years. Grandpa Li is worried that you can see the problem when you read the book. ”

"The purpose of reading books is to take the imperial examination as soon as possible, so that I will have a greater ability to support my family and find my father in the future. Now that you can take me to earn some money, and the matter of finding my father is on the rise, how can I not do anything to watch. ”

"Oh." Lin Huan'er replied.

Li Zheng was curious why she didn't continue to ask, and looked up at her, but saw Lin Huan'er's stunned face, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

She just didn't quite understand Li Zheng's feelings. She wondered if Grandma would take the initiative to find her if she got lost one day.

It should be, after all, she promised to raise grandma for the rest of her life. But she should soon get used to living alone again, and at that time, she may feel that finding grandma is a burden for herself. She didn't know what her choice would be.

She took Li Zheng from the ridge of the back mountain to the slope of the North Mountain, where there were indeed many green plums. I don't know if it's because no one picks them, but the green plums here look bigger than those in the back mountains, and the plums have a thin layer of fluff on them, which glows slightly in the sunlight.

"One, two, three, four...... Li Zheng, help count a total of a few plum trees, those who are too young, don't count the plums that are too small. ”

"Okay," Li Zheng answered in a low voice, pausing for a moment, "Did you hear anything?" ”

"What sound?" Lin Huan'er asked.

Li Zheng shook his head, "Maybe I heard it wrong." With that, he turned and went to count the plum trees.

Lin Huan'er stood still, holding one hand to her ear, listening against the direction of the wind.

"Boom, boom......"

The sound was getting closer and closer, as if coming from the highest peak.

"Li Zheng, don't move yet." Lin Huan'er dragged the young man beside her.

"You go up the tree, it sounds like some big beast is coming." Lin Huan'er's voice became more and more urgent, she had already seen a bird in the forest in front of her, "Hurry up, you can't climb a tree, it will take a lot of time." ”

"You go up the tree first, and I'll help you." Li Zheng immediately came to grab Lin Huan'er's arm.

Lin Huan'er turned around and shook Li Zheng's hand away, and as soon as his hand grabbed in the air, a shotgun appeared in his hand.

"Ouch," the hand sank, and the tip of the gun lost its balance and slammed into the ground.

Lin Huan'er touched her nose and pretended to fail, forgetting that she was now an eight-year-old body, and this shot was a bit heavy for her size.

She straightened her mind and held the gun with her arm flat, "You hurry up to the tree and leave me alone." ”

"Okay, good ......" Li Zheng glanced at the iron pipe in Lin Huan'er's hand curiously. This is the iron handle that Lin Tong said?

The long round tube is a bit like it is made of iron, smooth and round, revealing a cold beauty. Although he had never seen this thing, he instinctively felt threat and fear.

He quickly climbed the tree and looked at Lin Huan'er.

The little girl was thin and thinly dressed, and her thin arms were too windy for fear of being broken, but now she was holding a gun, her back slightly arched, and she looked intently at the distant woods full of power. Long bangs hung down in her ear, swaying gently in the breeze, and he looked at this little girl who was two years younger than himself, and his heart was filled with feelings that could not be said to be envy or anything.

If she could be as brave and calm as her, so many people would not die for themselves.

"Here," Lin Huan'er whispered, "it's a wild boar." ”

In the forest on the mountain, an ugly-looking wild boar rushed straight at him.

Lin Huan'er took two steps back, neatly ran up to the big tree beside her, hung herself between the two branches, and pulled the trigger while the wild boar rushed closer.

"Bang!"

The shotgun is no better than the previous lady pistol, the recoil is huge, and the sound is loud.

Lin Huan'er only felt that her shoulders were shattered, and her ears were buzzing.

She shook her head, swept away the discomfort, and looked down at the boar.

I saw that half of the boar's head and shoulders had rotted, and after running forward two steps along the inertia, the boar fell to the ground with a "boom".

"Whoa—" came a roar from the trees, and a wave of birds swept up from the forest.

Lin Huan'er frowned, "There is still one behind?" ”

"It's a big worm." Li Zheng rode on the branch of the tree and shouted to Lin Huan'er, he was so shocked by the loud noise that his ears seemed to be stuffed with cotton, and he couldn't help but speak loudly, "It should be the big insect that chased the wild boar here, otherwise the wild boar will rarely be left alone." ”

"Big bugs? Tiger?! Lin Huan'er's heart suddenly warmed up, her eyes glanced at the wild boar that fell to the ground, this is a young wild boar, not big, only about two hundred catties, give a little to the Liu family, a little to the Li family, and sell a little meat left by her own family, and you can't eat a few meals.

She put the gun back in place, staring excitedly at the woods.

Who knew that after the "whoosh" sound, I didn't see any more movement over there for a long time.

Lin Huan'er slipped down the tree with a gun and went into the woods.

"Wait! Sister Huan'er and so on! Why are you going? Li Zheng hurriedly fell from the tree and grabbed her.

"I'm going to see where it's gone, not gone. This head of meat is not enough. Originally, this was a race against time, and being dragged by Li Zheng, Lin Huan'er was in a hurry, and he had to move forward to break free from Li Zheng.

"No, not enough?" Li Zheng was speechless, hugged Lin Huan'er who broke free from him, and dragged her back, "That's a big worm!" You're going to fight the big bug?! ”

Lin Huan'er looked back at him with a look of disgust, "You hurry up and let go of me, you're going to run!" ”

"It's already gone!" Li Zheng hurriedly coaxed her words, "That thing runs on four legs, and you can't catch up with it on two legs." ”

He paused, "What you just said is not enough, is it possible that you still want to drag this wild boar back?" ”

Lin Huan'er thought about it, what Li Zheng said made sense, with her thin little physique now, she would definitely not be able to catch up, she took the shotgun back into the space in disappointment, and looked serious, "Otherwise?" It's all meat. Lots and lots of meat. ”

"But what are you going to tell the adults? How do you explain to them that our two children killed this wild boar? He looked at the rotten half of the wild boar, and shuddered in his heart, and looked away in fear, "If this is a wild boar that died of natural causes, they are afraid of the epidemic and will not let us eat it." ”

Lin Huan'er blinked, "Isn't this your business?" ”

"My business?"

"That's right," Lin Huan'er didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said, "I'm in charge of hunting and making money, and you're in charge of making up lies with the adults." ”

Li Zheng: ......
