Chapter 11: Why Are You Here?
At the beginning of the morning, a light mist floats in the mountains and forests, and the place where you enter the eye is hazy like a fairyland.
Lin Yanniang lit a small torch and came to the vicinity of the stream with a familiar memory.
Instead of staying at the stream below the mountain near the village, she walked deeper into the forest, where the terrain was higher and the hunters would not have gone so far.
Therefore, if you want to find fish down the river, there are more opportunities here.
She stuck her torch hard into the mud by the stream, took out the firewood knife and hemp rope from the basket and threw them aside, then took off her shoes and rolled up her trousers, and slowly dripped into the water.
She stepped on the cool rocks at the bottom of the water, walked to the middle and put both baskets into the water.
The mouth of the basket is facing upwards for the flow of water, and stones are moved at the bottom to block it, leaving a distance between the two baskets for the water to pass through.
After making a simple arrangement, Lin Yanniang went ashore to put on her shoes and practiced boxing in the open space.
In the hazy mist, I saw a faint figure moving smartly, sometimes agile and sharp, sometimes soft and long, and occasionally a clear drink, startling the birds in the forest to flutter their wings and leave.
Behind the tree not far away, a tall figure leaned against him, his eyes flickering as he looked this way, and suddenly, his gaze jumped.
I was surprised to see that the slender but not weak figure had jumped up, sometimes stepping on the clouds, sometimes stepping on the seven stars, sometimes flying swallows into the forest, and sometimes hunting in the whirlwind.
The thin fallen leaves in the forest were frightened by the strength of the fist wind, and the fallen leaves were fixed, the strength was collected, and the faint figure was also collected and the fist was still, standing in the forest like a frozen landscape.
The tall figure behind the tree raised his eyebrows and quietly left.
The breeze blows away the mist in the forest, the sky gradually brightens, and the morning light falls warmly, which also illuminates the forest with mottled shadows, and the vision is clearer.
Lin Yanniang walked to the stream and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile.
There are fish jumping in the two baskets, one large and one small, although there are not many, but they are very fresh.
"It's a pity that the fish that came first have all run away again......," she sighed, and took off her shoes again and went into the water.
Pour all the fish in the basket into the basket, rearrange the basket, and then return the basket to shore and fasten the lid.
After that, I went to the neighborhood to chop firewood, and then came back to see the harvest in the fish basket, and then went to chop firewood when I was done.
After doing this a few times, she gathered the firewood in one place and bundled it, and when she felt the amount she could carry on her back, she stopped chopping it.
When she came back to the stream, she washed her face, and saw that there were a few fish swimming in the back basket in the stream, the big ones were as long as chopsticks, and some were half as long as chopsticks, and she was very happy to see them.
The fish in the stream is clear and fatty, sweet in the mouth, delicious or fried or stewed, and fresh and nutritious.
She has liked to catch fish in the stream since she was a child, and later officially carried a bow and arrow to the mountains to become a hunter, but there were not many opportunities.
But as long as she has the opportunity, she never lets it go, and sells more prey she finds for money, and the fish she catches will add vegetables to her own house, why not?
Then the stomach rumbled.
Lin Yanniang grinned embarrassedly, stroked her stomach with her hand, and then looked down at the back basket.
Nearly half of the harvest in the small basket was harvested, and then there were a few fish jumping out of the big basket, and they just jumped out and poured into the basket along the current.
Her eyes jumped, and she immediately went into the water to lift the basket.
"It's destined that you have to be my dish, so let's eat so much today." When you go ashore, pour the fish into a small basket, stack the two baskets on top of each other, and stick the knife aside.
Soon, she picked up the bundle of firewood, and with a basket in her hand, she strode down the mountain.
It was also quiet all the way down the mountain, but I didn't encounter a single prey, and even the birds in the forest flew away.
The further down the hill the sky became, the brighter it became, and before I knew it, the morning had passed.
As he was walking, his eyes suddenly jumped, and he looked at the man under a tree next to the mountain road in surprise.
"Why are you here?" Lin Yanniang's voice was a little sharp, and her steps were faster.
"I can be regarded as finding you......" Yun San raised his head and looked at the woman walking on the slope with a slight surprise.
Plain clothes were nothing, and to his surprise, she carried a large bundle of firewood on her back and a large basket in one hand.
It's really tough!
In contrast, he must be as weak as a little sheep at this time......
"You're looking for me? Running to the mountains to find me? Lin Yanniang came to the front and looked at the man sitting on the ground condescendingly, with irrepressible anger in her tone.
"I woke up hungry in the morning, and there was no tea in the house, so I came out to find the kitchen, and I saw you going out, and I thought that you said that you were going to catch fish today, and I followed you out in a moment of excitement."
Yun San was a little embarrassed, his eyes lowered again, and his breath was not very steady to explain.
"I overestimated my recovery, I can't see you as I walk, I can't even see the light of the torch, I can't walk anymore, I'll sit here......"
Seeing the murderous look on the fierce girl's face, if it weren't for the firewood on her back, she was afraid that she would have to do it.
Yun San hurriedly helped the tree trunk to get up slowly, and pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly: "I'm so worried that you won't take this road when you go down the mountain, I'm so hungry ......"
It's quite pitiful, and it looks really pitiful.
Lin Yanniang tried her best to restrain her little temper, her eyes went all the way down from the man's face, and finally turned around on his injured leg a few times, hesitating to step on it.
"Miss Lin, let's go home, it doesn't matter if we don't catch a fish, we'll catch it next time, I'll help you catch it."
Yun San saw her gaze staring coldly at his injured leg, he glanced down, and hurriedly stepped forward with a sneer, wanting to take the back basket in her hand.
There is nothing to say.
The corners of Lin Yanniang's mouth twitched slightly, and finally snorted proudly, and handed the back basket out.
"How could this girl not catch a fish? Fried, fried, boiled, what do you want! ”
"Ahh As soon as Yun San took the back basket, his body shook, and he took a few steps back, until his back hit the trunk of the tree, and the back basket in his hand fell to the ground.
Fortunately, I didn't flip it, otherwise Lin Yanniang's fist would definitely beckon.
Yun San himself was also taken aback, he was not pretending to be weak, he was really powerless and weak.
He glanced at the angry woman in embarrassment, and quickly reached out and carefully lifted the basket again.
"It seems to have gained a lot." So heavy!
"Hmph." Lin Yanniang finally put down the firewood and took out the firewood knife from the back basket.
As soon as his eyes turned, he walked to one place, cut it a few times, and then cut off the thin branches, and soon, a cane was made and handed to Yun San.
"Hold it on and walk down the hill by yourself."
Lin Yanniang put on the firewood on her back again, lifted the big basket that was a little heavy, turned around and strode forward.
Behind him, Yun San was holding a wooden stick as a crutch, looking at a woman who didn't look like a woman with deep eyes, and she was still a little woman, and a trace of different emotions arose inexplicably in her heart.
A girl born in such a family, it is not her fault that she is rude and barbaric, she is also working hard to survive for her family.
And the heart is actually not bad.
