Wang Dashan, the village head of Wangjia Village, dug up two jars of daughter red buried under the tree at home under the begging of the villagers of Wangjia Village, and prepared to take them to Liujia Village to give to the old patriarch Liu.

Wang Dashan's daughter-in-law's eyes were red, she wiped the corners of her eyes with her rough fingers, and said to her own family: "Dad, why did you dig out your daughter's redness, what will we do when our daughter gets married in the future?" ”

Wang Dashan sighed and said, "People are dying of hunger, what do you want to do so far." ”

Wang Dashan is actually a little reluctant in his heart, since the birth of his daughter, their husband and wife buried these jars of wine under the jujube tree at home, it has been almost ten years, if it goes well, this wine will come in handy in a few years.

This morning, several families in the village actually fought because of the water separation.

Now the situation is very grim, and he can no longer be shaken, Wang Dashan went to Liujia Village with two jars of wine.

At the house of the old patriarch of Liujia Village, the old patriarch was discussing the current situation with the village chief, Old Man Hua and several elders in the village.

The old patriarch invited Xiao Qi to this meeting, and the others had no opinion at all.

Because of Xiao Qi's relationship, he also invited Liu Dahe by the way, Liu Dahe was very excited, he didn't expect that one day he would be so valued by the Liu clan.

Because there are always bad rumors outside, and there are more and more strangers at the entrance of the village, everyone present is not very calm.

While everyone was discussing what to do next, Liu Dayu knocked on the door and came in, followed by Wang Dashan, the village chief of Wangjia Village.

Village Chief Wang put the two jars of wine on the table, and said to the people of Liujia Village with a red face: "I'm here to beg for help, so I won't beat around the bush, Old Patriarch Liu, can you take the people from our village with you when you enter the mountain next time?" ”

The village chief of Liushun was a little reluctant, so he said: "Why don't your village organize hunting in the mountains by themselves?" ”

Wang Dashan said with a bitter face: "The most powerful thing in our village is Wang Lao Orion, when he took people to hunt in the mountains a few years ago, he met a blind bear and three people died, you should have heard of this." ”

"No one in the village will dare to go to the mountains in the future, everyone knows that the people in your village are powerful, so they want to follow your village to the mountains together."

The old patriarch's face was embarrassed, "This matter ......"

The two villages are close to each other, and the relationship is inextricably linked, with daughters who have married in the past and daughters-in-law who have married in.

The patriarch didn't want to agree, but he was embarrassed to refuse, and looked at Master Hua and several elders beside him, "Look at this matter......"

Old Man Hua looked at Wang Dashan, who was anxious, and said, "Village Chief Wang, let us discuss it before replying to you." ”

Wang Dashan: "I can't help it, yesterday Wang Sanpo took pork back to the village and was almost robbed by the villagers...... Now everyone is a little impatient, and when the water is divided in the morning, because half a bowl of water fights, I am afraid that if this continues, there will be deaths. ”

The old patriarch picked up the cigarette stick and took a hard breath, "Dashan, if you go home first, we will discuss it and reply to you tomorrow." ”

Well, it seems that there is no play, since everyone drove him away, Wang Dashan was embarrassed to stay, Wang Dashan had to arch his hand and leave.

After Village Chief Wang left, everyone in the room had a heated discussion.

Village Chief Liu Shun said: "Old patriarch, you see that our village doesn't have enough food for itself now, how can we still give it to Wangjia Village." ”

Mrs. Liu, who has a granddaughter married to Wangjia Village, said: "We have a very close relationship with Wangjia Village, every year there are many families in the village who marry Wangjia Village, and it is not good to do so much, I heard that Wangjia Village has run out of food, if this person is in a desperate situation, he will bite people for his stuttering, and my village may not be able to be alone at that time." “

Old Patriarch: "What Mrs. Liu said is reasonable, if they are hungry, they will not only rob in their own village, but may also affect our village." ”

Old man Hua: "But too many people go to the mountains together to surprise the prey also has an impact on our village, I propose to let their village chief elect three or five menstrual people, follow our village to the mountains together, and then the prey will give their village a share of 20%, let them take it back to Wangjia Village and share it themselves." ”

"When the time comes, if there is going to be trouble, it will be their own village, and it won't come to us for the time being. In addition, we can save some manpower in our own village and stay in the village to guard, and there have been more and more outsiders recently. ”

The old patriarch finally said: "I agree with Hua Lao's statement, if everyone has no opinion, let's just decide, these two jars of wine will be hunted next time, let's have a few drinks together." ”

Everyone agreed and left.

The next day, Liujia Village sent Liu Laosan to inform Wang Dashan and asked the men of their village to remember to bring some empty gourds when they went to the mountains.

When Wang Dashan heard that Liujia Village was willing to take Wangjia Village into the mountain together, he was overjoyed, and the two achievements were two percent, which was also a favor given by Liujia Village to Wangjia Village.

Two days later, the weather was clear, and Mr. Hua took the people from the two villages to the mountains together.

The young men in Wangjia Village were told by Wang Dashan in advance that they must absolutely obey the arrangements of Liujia Village, so several young men in Wangjia Village were very obedient.

After walking in the mountains for about an hour, Xiao Qi saw a large one, two small and three monkeys picking leaves on a tree to eat.

She immediately called out to everyone to look up, and said to them, "Since the monkey can eat this leaf, we should be able to eat it too." ”

No matter how delicious the leaves are, they are all very happy to hear Xiao Qi say this, and they are about to do it immediately, but they are stopped by Hua Xi'er.

Hua Xi'er: "Let's wait and see if there is anything wrong with these monkeys after eating the leaves." ”

After about half an hour, the big monkey jumped away with the two little monkeys with quick movements.

Xiao Qi: "Great, there are several such trees." ”

Hua Xi'er was also overjoyed, "Next time we go into the mountain, we will look for it, maybe there are many more such trees." ”

Xiao Qi and Hua Xi'er climbed to a few trees with a few nimble figures, picked a lot of leaves, and soon filled the back baskets brought by everyone.

The old man looked at the sky and said: "It's not early, I see that the back baskets brought by everyone are full, let's go back to the village first, after all, we haven't eaten this yet, and after going back to try it, if we can really eat it, let's bring more back baskets and cloth bags next time." ”

This time, only three rabbits were killed, one was given to Wangjia Village, and the leaves in the basket of five people in Wangjia Village were also carried back to Wangjia Village.

Moreover, several people in Wangjia Village have several gourds of spring water hanging on their waists, and they drank a full amount of water on the mountain during the day, which was sweet and delicious, and today they returned with a full load.

In the evening, in Liujia Village, every household boiled leaves.

After boiling, this leaf tastes sticky to eat, and it is very delicious with mountain spring water.

I heard that Xiao Qi and Hua Xi'er found this kind of leaf, and everyone was very grateful.

The next day, when Xiao Qi and Hua Xi'er went down the mountain and passed by the entrance of the village, the women couldn't help but flatter them enthusiastically when they saw them.

Hua Xi'er's face turned crimson with praise, and she gave the women a little fresh wild vegetables she had picked in her cloth bag.

A woman boldly asked the old man if he could go up the mountain to pick leaves together.

The old man frowned, it was naturally a little inappropriate for the women to follow into the mountains, there were wild beasts in the mountains, if these women also went to the mountains with them, who could guarantee that there would be no accidents.

But the old man Hua knew in his heart that everyone was eager to get food, so he discussed it with the old patriarch and the village chief, and decided to take the people in the village who were willing to go to pick more edible leaves from the mountain.

But as you say in advance, if something happens in the mountains, you will be responsible.
