Chapter 42: The Great Grass Carp
No one in the yard could take care of Xiao Wan's family, she stood in the yard and watched Shen Shuang, who was 'looking for death and life', being dragged back, and always felt that she had missed something big.
Shen Shuang just wanted to play a scene to let her grandmother see her determination clearly, and to weigh whether she was a soft persimmon that she could handle casually, but after seeing that it worked, she didn't continue to make trouble, but stopped at the point, but this was enough to deter the two elders.
Shen Shuang, who was going to 'seek death', was pulled back and leaned on Xu's arms without saying a word, Old Man Shen was frightened, and his face was a little pale and waved at Xu's, "Everyone, hurry up and take the children back to rest, the boss comes into the hall, I have something to say to you." ”
Shen Musheng glanced at his daughter uneasily, so he nodded and followed, without looking at Wan Shi on the side.
Wan Shi also had palpitations at this time, if Shen Shuang really ran to jump into the river, then she would definitely have to go into the ancestral hall and kneel for a few days, thinking about her couldn't help but tremble.
Seeing that the old man and eldest son were about to enter the house, he raised his heels, but was stopped at the door by the old man Shen in disgust, "I'll talk to the boss, don't come in, I'll settle accounts with you later." ”
Wan Shi was frightened by Old Man Shen's words, where could he still stay put, and Xiao Wan Shi hurriedly stepped forward with questions on the side, "Mother, what happened?" Daddy and Big Brother don't they work in the fields? Why are you coming back at this time? ”
Wan Shi was irritable in his heart, and he didn't have a good face for Xiao Wan Shi, so he turned his head and said angrily, "What are you asking, what are you doing in the house in broad daylight?" I was in a hurry to sweep the yard, I had something to go out. ”
As she spoke, she hurried out, for fear that her old man would be scolded for a while, so she walked around the village and saw everyone pointing at her, so she simply walked to the town.
In the big house, Xu was afraid that his daughter would not be able to think about it, so he comforted Shen Shuang, "Xiaoshuang, don't be afraid, my mother is here, you must not think about jumping into the river, you have a mother with three long and two short, how can you live." ”
Shen Shuang hurriedly comforted her, "Mother, I'm fine, maybe my grandmother won't mention selling me in the future, and I won't go to death." ”
But Shen Shuang's words of assurance could not reassure the Xu family, because there was still a lot of work to be done at home, so she could only tell Xiaoshan many times to watch her well and not let her go out, listening to Shen Shuang a little helpless.
After she was quiet, she remembered that her face was bruised, and both cheeks were already swollen, which was really painful.
When Shen Musheng walked into the house, he saw the two sisters and brothers sitting quietly on the kang, Shen Shuang obviously saw a trace of guilt flashing on her father's face, "Xiaoshuang, you still have to weed in the field, Dad and your father still have to go to the ground, you just rest at home today and don't run outside, Dad will go to the river to touch the fish and cook fish soup for you after work today." ”
Shen Shuang nodded, and didn't mention what had just happened.
After her father went out, the courtyard outside was quiet, and Xiao Wanshi just now didn't know where to go, it was impossible to stay at home, she took advantage of no one to pay attention, coaxed Xiaoshan to let him lead him to find the little hunter.
"Xiaoshan, do you want to be in vain?" 'Baibai' is the name given to the little wolf cub by Shen Shuang and Xiaoshan.
Xiaoshan naturally missed the little wolf cub, and when he heard this, he nodded vigorously, with longing on his face, so Shen Shuang didn't have much effort to go out, as for their father's mother's advice to let them stay at home, they had already been thrown out of the Nine Heavens.
The two sisters and brothers walked in the direction of the foot of the mountain, Shen Shuang is not afraid of walking now, tired is tired, she may lose fat, she can't wait to walk more.
Although Xiaoshan is young, his ability to recognize the road is not small, and the two sisters and brothers soon arrived at their destination, and Shen Shuang saw a small wooden house at the foot of the mountain that seemed a little desolate from a distance.
The way up the mountain where the villagers of Xishan Village usually go up the mountain to chop firewood and pick wild fruits is not at the foot of this mountain, but in the opposite direction, so there are many more wild fruits here than she saw with Xiaoshan that day.
Shen Shuang saw the 'treasures' everywhere, and seemed to be able to understand why the little Orion didn't look down on the mushrooms and fungus she carried in the basket that day.
Shen Shuang was also carrying a basket today, thinking that she could find something to eat when she went out, she was very happy to see the wild vegetables here, but she didn't pick them in a hurry, but continued to walk in the direction of the wooden house.
She walked across the small wooden bridge over the creek to the door of the wooden house, but the door of the wooden house was closed, and she thought that the little hunter should not be at home, so she walked to the wooden house and knocked on the door, "Is there anyone?" Is there anybody? ”
There was no one inside, and there was no movement.
But at this moment, the little wolf cub who was sleeping soundly in the house heard Shen Shuang's voice, opened his eyes immediately, then got up and twisted his little ass and ran to the door, its mood suddenly became very anxious, and it screamed while running, the sound was not very loud, but Shen Shuang could hear it through the door.
Shen Shuang's eyes lit up, and he glanced at Xiao Shan, who also heard the voice, and hurriedly clasped the door with his fingers, "Xiao Shan, it's in vain, it's calling us." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the little wolf cub inside picking the door with its paws and whining, and when I heard it, I knew that it was very impatient and wanted to come out, and I could see its white fur through the crack in the door a finger wide.
Xiaoshan was also very anxious, and said to the wooden door, as if she was having a silent conversation with the little wolf cub, seeing that Shen Shuang was a little helpless, but she didn't stop it, she didn't know how much she hoped that Xiaoshan could communicate with ordinary people.
"Xiaoshan, you just stay here and play in vain, I'll go around the area."
Where is Xiaoshan willing, he immediately didn't care about communicating with the little wolf cub in the air, and reached out to grab the corner of Shen Shuang's clothes, he remembered his mother's instructions, he must take care of his sister, otherwise he may lose his sister in the future.
Shen Shuang felt cute and sad when she saw the worry on the face of such a young child, she thought about it and clasped the door with her fingers, and said to the little wolf cub who was pulling the door inside, "Baibai, let's go find food first, and then come to see you later, you stay obediently." ”
The little wolf cub inside seemed to understand Shen Shuang's words, and he really didn't use his paws to pick the door again.
Before leaving the wooden house hand in hand, the two siblings looked for wild vegetables and fruits at the foot of the mountain here.
Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, there are mountains and rivers here, which makes Shen Shuang feel that today's lunch is promising.
There are a lot of mountain goods here, not only the wild fruits that hairless children dare to come and pick, but also the rice vegetables are everywhere. However, rice vegetables are not a new thing in Xishan Village, so Shen Shuang doesn't plan to pick this today.
There were a lot of gray cabbage growing on the ground here, and she had eaten it before, and it tasted quite good, so she picked a large handful, and pinched its tender tips, pinched a large handful, and weighed that it was about enough for the family to eat, so she used the vines torn off the side to tie these gray cabbage and throw them in the back basket.
When Shen Shuang was picking wild vegetables, Xiaoshan was also climbing trees over there to pick wild fruits, the fruit trees here were not high, Xiaoshan climbed up quickly like a monkey, although she was worried, she didn't want to care too much about him, just let him be careful and try to pick some low fruits.
Shen Shuang walked to the creek to wash her hands, and found that the creek in front of the little Orion's house was much clearer than the one she saw when she went to look for her mother that day.
Shen Shuang had seen these river celery in the wild reality show he participated in before, although they tasted like a mouthful, but they were very tough, and the taste was also very unique and delicious.
Shen Shuang didn't expect to come here today to see if the little wolf cub could find so many good things, she took off the shoes on her feet, pulled up the trouser legs, and then tried the depth of the stream here, and found that the little belly leg was also relieved to enter the water just now.
The stream water in this season of spring is still very cold, and it doesn't take long for the snow at the high altitude to melt, and Shen Shuang shivered when she just got into the water, and after getting used to it for a while, she bent down and began to pick up the sickle in the back basket to cut the river celery.
This river celery is actually called water celery, their rhizomes are hollow, triangular leaves, white flowers, and the reason why they are called water celery is also because they mainly love to grow in moist and low-lying places.
Shen Shuang took a lot of effort to separate the water celery growing by the stream, and then she breathed a sigh of relief, and Xiaoshan came over to watch her cut vegetables curiously after picking the fruit, and she was also very happy to popularize knowledge with the little guy.
"Have you ever eaten this vegetable hill at home?"
Xiaoshan looked at it carefully for a while before shaking his head, Shen Shuang shook the water celery in his hand with a smile, "This is called water celery, will my sister get it for you to eat when she comes home today?" ”
The little guy also wanted to go into the water to help, at this time, Shen Shuang suddenly felt something in the water touching her feet, which scared her into the creepy, she originally thought it was a water snake, and the whole person froze.
But Xiaoshan looked excitedly at the water and screamed, and pointed his finger in the direction of the water.
Shen Shuang was originally a little scared, but he was also surprised by his excited appearance, and when he looked down, it turned out to be a big grass carp.
This big grass carp is swimming around in the water very leisurely at the moment, not afraid of people at all, Shen Shuang just estimated that it was touched by its tail, and it would have a sour feeling.
Shen Shuang glanced at Xiaoshan, put his hand to his mouth and shouted to signal him to be quiet, the little guy hurriedly took a step back, and covered his mouth, for fear that he would scare the fish away.
Shen Shuang looked at the surrounding environment and found that there were a lot of aquatic plants and water celery here, and this big grass carp probably thought that her fat legs were also one of the aquatic plants, plus she didn't move, so she didn't find danger in front of her at all.
Shen Shuang was calm, she knew that her movements were not flexible enough, so she didn't act rashly, she wanted her to catch the fish with her bare hands, it was estimated that the fish would slip away immediately, and the fish was so slippery, she didn't have a lot of confidence to be able to catch it.
