Chapter 4 Blue brick and tiled houses

Xiao Che saw that she was firm, so he let her.

The snake was gray and dark, and it was not like an ordinary poisonous snake with bared teeth and grinning letters, and it really did not look like poison.

He got up and picked up the basket and continued to move away, and Po breathed a sigh of relief and continued to follow him.

Xiao Che is indeed a good hunter.

The place where he went was that Bao had never even seen it, and although it was not the deepest part of the mountain, it was also a place where ordinary hunters in the village did not dare to come.

After walking back and forth for a short time, Po saw three huge gray rabbits, two sika deer, one large and one small, a half-sized wild boar, and other unknown beasts.

But at a distance, they were standing on a high half-slope, and it was not dangerous.

"You just stand here and don't move, I'll come when I go." Xiao Che neatly put down the back basket, took the bow and arrows and dagger and was about to leave.

Po was a little surprised: "But it's ...... here."

"Don't worry, this half-slope is quite safe, and the surrounding area is sprinkled with realgar, and even snakes dare not come."

Hearing him say this, Ah Bao was still apprehensive, it could be seen that he had already gone away, and it was difficult to say anything more.

After all, his little daughter-in-law still owes him, if there is no such thing, people have houses and paddy fields, what do you want.

Forget it, just stay, just rest, it's time to see the zoo, right?

Choosing a flat shade to sit down, Ah Bao held his cheeks and looked at the sika deer jumping in the distance, and said in his heart that this ancient time is really good, there are so many animals in any mountain.

Where is like modern times, this endangered, that extinct, it sounds worrying.

After watching boredly for a while, Po dozed off a little, and when she was about to fall asleep, she was suddenly hit by something.

When I got up, I saw that it was a woodpecker pecking at a dead branch, and the one that fell down happened to be ......

"Huh? Isn't this fungus? Po picked up the black thing and took a closer look at it, and let out a surprise jump.

Look at the dead branches on the top of your head, good guys, the branches are densely covered with black fungus, the thumb-sized black fungus has dried up, and it looks black, but Po knows that these are high-grade wild fungus.

The small bowl has thick meat, a firm bite, a good taste to eat, and rich in nutrition.

Don't say anything, God, you're still very good to me.

Looking left and right, Ah Bao quickly jumped to the half-dead tree with his hands and feet, half of the tree was dead and the other half was still alive, and he could still withstand Ah Bao's small body.

Slowly, slowly, she approached the withered branch, picking the hard-won fungus one after another.

Take it off and throw it on the ground first, and then slowly collect it in the basket after a while, and you can eat the beautiful crispy fungus at night, which is really delicious.

The more she picked the fungus on the trunk, the more she got carried away, and her whole body threw herself on the dead branch without knowing it.

When Xiao Che came back, he happened to see her whole body hanging from the crumbling dead tree, which would break and fall down at any time.

He was startled, his face darkened, and he walked under her quietly.

Ben quietly protected her and didn't frighten her, but he didn't expect Po to suddenly scream and fall from the branch with a click.

"Ahh

Ah Bao closed his eyes tightly, his heart was finished, why was he so greedy to climb onto the dead branches, now it's okay, it's dead.

She gritted her teeth and held her head, ready to fall to the ground.

But after waiting for a while, I didn't see the pain coming, but I felt as if I was caught by something, and there was a strong and tough softness on my body.

When I opened my eyes, I happened to face a cold and familiar handsome face.

"Is that you? How did you come back so quickly? "I just fell into the arms of my handsome husband, I'm really embarrassed hahaha.

"It's not for you to stop moving, how can you climb to such a high place?"

"I ...... I'm going to pick fungus, and I can eat this. Po stared at him with wet eyes, a little afraid.

The handsome husband is unhappy, so he won't sell her.

Xiao Che didn't turn his head to look at her, his eyes just fell on the bits and pieces of dry objects on the ground, his face was even darker, this kind of blackness he didn't even want to look at, he could actually eat it?

What has she experienced with this little lady?

Ah Bao didn't dare to look at his face, so he honestly shrank to the side, staring at the black fungus on the ground.

This is a pure natural and pollution-free wild black fungus, or the kind with a bowl of small meat and thick meat......

Xiao Che didn't know what she was thinking, but his face changed a few times, black and blue, and finally he suppressed the anger in his heart, bent down and gently helped her pick it up one by one.

"Hoo ......"

Po breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, Emma, but it's over, she is really afraid that she will be sold.

Seeing her happily squatting down to pick up fungus, Xiao Che twitched the corners of her lips, this woman is really heartless.

……

They had a very good harvest that morning.

Xiao Che caught two gray rabbits, a goat that had been half the size, and Po's basket had a handful of cress, a basket of fungus, and a few loaches tightly tied with straw ropes.

It's not much, but a few days' rations are enough.

In this way, Ah Bao lived the life of a little daughter-in-law of a farmer who washed and sewed again.

I exchanged two gray rabbits and Aunt Chen in the village for ten catties of brown rice, and exchanged a goatskin and Uncle Niu from the blacksmith shop for two iron pots, one large and one small.

Xiao Che returned the cowshed to Aunt Chen's house, built a shed around the new home, and the two of them put a pot stove and started a new life.

Every morning, Po cooked brown rice porridge, and the two ate with wild vegetables.

Xiao Che went to cut wood to build a house, and Ah Bao went to collect firewood, wash clothes, dig wild vegetables and pick wild fruits.

After a busy day, the two of them can often fall asleep as soon as they dip into the bunk, and nothing happens.

In fact, to a 'child' who looked like he was only eleven or twelve years old, Xiao Che was not so beastly, even though he knew that Po was already fourteen.

And so they passed another two months.

Before late autumn came, the house was finally built.

The house was halfway up the hill on the wasteland, and there was only one room, three on the left and right, with a hall in the middle, a bedroom on the east, and a utility room on the west, which could be used to stack game utensils.

There are also two huts in the courtyard, one in the kitchen on the east side and one in the west hut.

The yard is surrounded by a fence, and the gate is a raft made of sharp wood.

This kind of courtyard is actually very outdated, many families in the village have built blue brick houses, and even the family of Uncle Xiao, a wealthy family in the village, has even built a two-entry courtyard.

In the backyard, I also learned from the big families in the city, got a small garden, dug a mud pond and raised a few fish.

The Zhuang family is really praised by everyone, and they are destined to be ridiculed by everyone.

"Just laugh," Po raised his head.

"One day, we will be able to live in a big brick house."
