Chapter 17: Gone? It's all gone! (a)

"Dad, your legs and feet are not good, why did you still go into the mountains."

Xiao Feng complained worriedly.

Passing by the big snake, she knew that this mountain was not as safe as everyone thought it was.

"I haven't said you yet, a girl is so late, she doesn't come home!"

Xiao Zhengtao wiped the sweat off his face and saw that she was safe and sound, and the anger suppressed because of worry also broke out.

In the past, she didn't even dare to go out of the house when it was dark, but now she is still hanging in the mountains.

"I'm lost, that's why I'm delayed. Dad, look at what I've found. ”

With a 180-degree turn in his attitude, Xiao Feng flatteringly showed the pork leg in front of him.

"It's ......"

"Wild boar legs, air-dried, but delicious."

Of course, Xiao Zhengtao knew that this was a wild boar leg, but instead of showing any happiness, he frowned.

"Where did it come from?"

"Found in a cave."

Xiao Feng "told the truth", her own cave, of course, is also a cave.

"Impossible."

Xiao Zhengtao muttered, staring at her face, obviously suspicious.

Not to mention that he had never heard of a cave in this mountain, and even if there were, the wild boar would die in it, and there would not be only one pig's leg left.

Unless someone hides it on purpose, but in the past two years, every household has not been rich in grain, who will hide it if there is such a good thing?!

"In what direction is the cave? Are there any traces of human habitation? ”

Xiao Feng: "......"

The old man is also more serious.

Normal people have been hungry for a day and haven't eaten, shouldn't they only have this pork leg in their eyes and hearts?

"I can't remember the specific direction, it's too dark here Dad, I'm afraid, let's go home quickly."

Without giving him a chance to ask at all, she carried the pig's leg in one hand and his arm with the other, and walked down the mountain.

……

Xiao Feng sat at the small dining table, didn't even look at the fragrant wild boar, but stared at the two nests on the plate.

When she left in the morning, there was no food at home.

"Dad, where did Wowotou come from?"

He just had a falling out with his aunt's family in the morning, so he won't go over there to apologize and beg for this little bit of food, right?

Xiao Zhengtao put his crutches on the base of the wall and sat on the bench slowly.

"Dad, where did Wowotou come from?"

Xiao Feng strengthened his tone and repeated.

"It's not what you think, the food was borrowed from your Uncle Liu's family."

Uncle Liu in Xiao Zhengtao's mouth is also his only good friend in this village.

"Really?"

"What am I lying to you about, hurry up and eat."

Xiao Zhengtao urged, and the first chopsticks were handed to Xiao Feng's bowl.

"You're weak, eat more."

And he himself just picked up a nest head and gnawed it down.

"Dad, you eat too. In the future, you will leave the food and clothing at home to me, you don't have to worry about it. ”

Xiao Feng solemnly assured that she would definitely be able to bear the life of two people.

"You? Oh, good. Dad will still count on you in the future, and you will retire to the end. ”

Xiao Zhengtao's face was full of relief, she was really much more sensible suddenly, but as for what she said, he didn't take it seriously at all.

She is a little girl, she has no education, and she has no strength, she just hopes to find her a good family and live a down-to-earth life, without being dragged down by him.

……

In the dead of night, Xiao Feng was on the clay kang, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep.

Drinking too much snake blood, although it is a big tonic, but it is obviously not so easy to digest it thoroughly.

"The moon is dark and the wind is high", since I can't sleep, I just want to do important things.
