Chapter 11 Searching for People in the Mountains

Liu Dahe and Old Man Hua found more than a dozen strong men from the village together, and went up the mountain to look for people with pine torches.

Before leaving, Hua Xi'er shouted behind Old Man Hua: "Dad, you must find Xiao Qi." β€œ

Old Man Hua waved his hand at his daughter: "Don't worry, you will definitely find Xiao Qi, you go home quickly, otherwise your mother will be worried." ”

When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, the old man counted a few people, and together with himself, a total of fifteen people, he divided the people into five groups, and each group of three people was separated to find people.

The three brothers of Liu Lao worked in a group of three, and they always had to make some preparations when they went up the mountain in the middle of the night, and they only had a woodcutter at home, which was taken by Liu Laosan, who was a little bolder, and Liu Laosi and Liu Laosi brought sticks.

Speaking of Liu Laosan's family is also very poor, his father Liu Zhuzi married at the age of thirty, and soon gave birth to their four sons, directly named Liu Laoda, Liu Lao's second, Liu Lao's third, Liu Lao's fourth, half of the eldest son eats the poor Laozi, and Liu Laosan's family is short of food half of the year. The Liu clan also helped their family, but the Liu clan was not rich, and there were so many people in the village who needed help, it was really not considerate, and when the family cut off food, Liu's father and mother took them to dig tree roots to eat, and even one year they were really hungry and ate Guanyin soil, Liu Lao Er was starved to death, pitiful, the four brothers have since become three brothers.

A group of people went into the deep mountains, the surroundings were pitch black, and the screams of wild beasts were heard from time to time in the distance, which was very scary, and Boss Liu was a timid one, and he was pulled by a branch or stepped on a dry branch to make a creaking sound, which made his little timidity tremble.

In fact, the three brothers were really unlucky, they met two wolves after entering the mountain for a while, Liu Laosan saw the wolf's eyes glowing green and fainted directly, Liu Laosan's hair stood up, holding the torch motionless, he had a woodcutter on his waist, he wanted to take out the woodcutter and fight with the wolf at the moment, but he felt like he was frozen, standing in place and unable to move.

Liu Laosi was even more frightened to pee his pants, the two wolves were closest to him, and seeing the wolves rushing over, he thought that his fate was here. At this moment, a man suddenly rushed over and kicked twice in a row, and the two wolves flew a few feet away, crashing into something with a bang.

The person who saved Liu Laosi was Liu Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi turned his head after kicking two feet, saw Liu Laosan holding a torch, and shouted Uncle Liu.

Liu Laosan and Liu Laosan heard someone shouting to themselves, and suddenly felt that their hands and feet had regained consciousness, Liu Laosan was the most eloquent of the three brothers, so he said to Xiao Qi: "It's Xiao Qi, it's great to find you." ”

Liu Laosi bent down to pinch Boss Liu's people and woke Boss Liu up.

The three brothers approached Xiao Qi and saw a wild boar of about 100 catties on the ground next to Xiao Qi, Liu Laosan pointed to the wild boar and asked Xiao Qi: "Wasn't it a wolf just now?" How did you become a wild boar. ”

Xiao Qi pointed under a tree in front of him: "This wild boar was encountered when I first entered the mountain, and the wolf is over there." "The three brothers of the Liu family went to check in the direction of Xiao Qizhi with torches, good guys, one wolf hit the mountain rock and his head was broken, it was really miserable, and the other hit the tree and could still move, Liu Laosan handed the torch to his younger brother Liu Laosi, took out the woodcutter, and stabbed the wolf under the tree who was not yet dead a few times, and finally felt like a man.

Seeing that Liu Laosan was so heroic, Boss Liu also took out other sticks on his waist and kept whipping at the wild wolf, as if he had a grudge. Fortunately, Liu Laosan is still sober, and it will be more dangerous to stay in the mountains for a while, since Xiao Qi has found it, he has to quickly beckon everyone back to the village, so Liu Laosan took the torch from his younger brother, shook the torch and shouted loudly around: "Come here, everyone, we have found Xiao Qi, we have found Xiao Qi." ”

Soon someone responded, and everyone walked this way with torches. During the time of the others, Liu Laosan said to Xiao Qi with a red face: "Xiao Qi, can you give the wild boar belly to our brother, we can't afford it poorly, but we won't ask for it in vain, didn't your father buy three acres of land, and our brother will cover the farm work of those three acres of land in the future." ”

Liu Laosan's two brothers listened to Liu Laosan's words and nodded vigorously. Their father, Liu Zhuzi, has been sick, and it has been getting worse and worse recently, and he vomited blood. Liu Laosan's wife borrowed money ruthlessly and sent Liu Zhuzi to the most famous Fushengtang in the town. Liu Laosan asked a few shops selling pork in the town, and found that wild boar belly is not available every day, and a pair of wild boar belly costs a few taels of silver, Liu Laosan was frightened, this thing is too expensive. After returning home, Liu Laosan's family went out to borrow money from relatives and friends, and they worked hard for half a month before they borrowed a few hundred dollars, which was far from enough money to buy wild boar belly. The three brothers decided to take a risk to hunt a wild boar in the mountains, so in the autumn, the three brothers followed the old hunter Wang Dahu of Wangjia Village into the mountain together, but Wang Dahu was photographed by the bear blind, and was carried back to Wangjia Village half-dead, Liu Zhuzi said that he didn't dare to let the three brothers go to the mountains to hunt wild boars, and his loess had been buried to his neck, but the sons were still young, and the road was still very long, so they couldn't let their sons pay for their lives, and since then for the Liu Zhuzi family, the wild boar belly is as far away as the stars in the sky.

After Liu Laosan asked for wild boar belly, he saw that Xiao Qi did not respond, so he wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Xiao Qi, but was stopped by Xiao Qi: "Uncle Liu wants to take the wild boar belly, but if you come out at night to find me, it will be hard work, and the wild boar belly will be regarded as hard work." ”

The three brothers of the Liu family were in a hurry, and even the boss Liu, who usually doesn't like to talk much, said: "Then how can you do it, you are young and don't know that the wild boar belly is worth it, and the three brothers of your uncle will be covered in the future." ”

Soon the people in the village gathered with torches, and Xiao Qi said to everyone: "Uncles and uncles, it's hard to come out to find me so late, my mother doesn't like the smell of fish, wild boars and wolves are carried to Uncle Liu's house, I invite everyone to eat meat, and each family will share some if they can't finish eating." ”

Originally, many people didn't want to come to the mountains at night, but they couldn't wipe off their face, so they came with complaints, and now they heard that everyone is very happy to eat meat, and this trip is really worth it, it doesn't take much effort, and there is meat to eat. Everyone gathered around the wild boar and the wolf, all laughing and laughing, so much meat can be shared by each family.

Soon Liu Dahe and Old Man Hua also came, and when everyone arrived, they were ready to go back to the village.

Most of the men in Liujia Village have ropes tied around their waists, and you have to ask why, because they are poor, and it is too luxurious to use cloth as a belt. Several men untied the ropes around their waists, tied the wild boar and the wolf to sticks, and lifted them to Liujia Village. Thinking that they would soon be able to eat meat, they did not feel tired at all carrying wild boars and wolves.
