Chapter 22 Into the Mountain
Koharu listened to Konatsu's words, and it seemed that she saw the picture that she had never dreamed of, which was really beautiful. But in the end, I can only sigh. "Xiao Xia, what do we use to build a house, and what do we use to raise chickens and pigs? If grandparents kick us out, we'll have nothing. ”
"So now we have to find a way to make money, and if we make money, we are not afraid of being driven away. I hope we can get rid of us so that we can live like that! ”
"Money is so easy to make, it takes more money to build a house, and there has not been a house in our village for several years, but there are houses repaired every year." After all, Xiaochun was born and raised in this land, even if she doesn't know how much silver it costs to build a house, but she knows that she has never seen anyone build a new house since she was sensible, let alone a blue brick house, she has only heard that most of the houses in the village are adobe houses, and it is amazing to put a layer of red bricks on the door face if the conditions are good, which is the whole village's eyes. When the uncle was admitted to Xiucai, the family built a layer of red bricks on the outside of the main house and the east wing, which made the villagers envious.
"Sister, you have to believe me, you forgot that I still have a lot of silver in my hand, I will find a way to earn more silver in the future, I also want to go to the mountains to see, now the grass is growing, the mountains are slowly turning green, maybe there are still treasures to be found on the mountain, don't forget that I picked up the gold bracelet on the mountain before."
Koharu remembered the last time she went to town, and she didn't have Konatsu's optimism. "There are those treasures, the villagers cut pigweed in the mountains in the spring and summer, and go to pick mushrooms in the autumn. There are still hunters living in the mountains, and I have not heard of anyone who has found the treasure. ”
"Are there still Orions on the mountain?" Xiao Xia has been here for so long, and she has never heard the villagers mention it.
"Yes! There is a family with only two grandchildren and grandchildren, who have always made a living by hunting and rarely come to the village. I heard from the people in the village that they knew kung fu, so the people in the village were very jealous of them and did not want to contact them. Koharu was talking while embroidering her purse.
As soon as Xiao Xia heard that he knew kung fu, could it be that there were people in this world who would fly the eaves and walk the wall, but he came to Xiaosan Village, where the news was closed, so I didn't know, could it be that this is the world of martial arts? Could it be that the people on the mountain are actually hermit masters? Come and be interested right away. "Will they all fly off the wall?"
"Huh...... Xiao Xia, that's the story told by the people in the village, how can people fly, it's just that their fists and feet are powerful, I heard that the hunter also killed a tiger, so the people in the village are afraid of them. ”
It turns out that this is the case, it is very powerful to be able to kill a wild tiger, and you can't be so lazy in the future, you can start exercising from tomorrow, and you must be prepared for danger in times of peace.
As soon as Xiao Wang's left the next day, Xiao Xia began to prepare for departure, and finally decided that Xiao Chun would stay at home to take care of Xiao Qiu, who was still young. Koharu originally disagreed, but he couldn't stand Xiao Xia's three-inch incorruptible tongue. In the end, I could only agree to help Xiao Xia hide it, mainly because the baby in the small mountain village didn't grow up running in the mountains, as long as he didn't go deep into the mountains, there was no danger.
Before leaving, Xiao Xia deliberately ran to the main house to report. "Grandma, I'm looking for my mother to help her cut pigweed together." After saying that, he ran away.
When Mrs. Jia went out, she only saw the back of the person who had run away, so she could only hum and go back to the house.
Of course, Xiao Xia didn't go to find her mother, but ran towards the mountains not far away, the natural environment was not destroyed in this era, although there were traces in the mountains, there were only footprints left, and there was no garbage pollution.
The earth is new and green, and everything is recovering. Xiao Xia cautiously shuttled through the mountains and forests, basically nothing in a day's time, in his previous life he was a businessman, born in the city, he didn't know anything about all kinds of plants, and she couldn't name any tree she could name. If there is fruit on the tree in the fall, she may recognize the fruit.
She could have tried hunting, but she didn't look for any animals, and she didn't see anything alive except the birds flying in the sky and the insects crawling on the ground for a day.
As a result, on the first day, she could only return in vain, Xiao Wang's family would come back every day before cooking dinner, Xiao Xia calculated the time, and the two happened to meet at the gate of the Shen family.
Xiao Wang was a little curious to see Xiao Xia coming back from outside, Xiao Xia rarely went out recently, and every day she either sewed clothes or sewed some messy things, pillows, cushions, curtains or something, it was a waste of cloth, but the children liked to look at their smiling faces, and they felt happy. "Where have you been?"
"Grandma would curse people in the yard every day, and when she got tired of listening to it, she would go out for a walk. Mother, I told my grandmother that I was going to mow pigweed with you, and you have to help me talk. Xiao Xia looked at Xiao Wang pitifully.
Xiao Wang's family has been very guilty of Xiao Xia since the last time he agreed to marry Xiao Xia to a fool without knowing it, and has been almost obedient to Xiao Xia recently.
Xiao Xia saw Xiao Wang's nodding, and happily helped her take the basket into the yard together.
Xiao Wang put down the basket and began to prepare dinner, and Xiao Xia went directly into the Westinghouse.
As soon as Xiaochun saw Xiaoxia, he immediately looked her up and down, afraid that she would be injured, and was relieved to see that she was intact.
"My heart has been in my throat today, and you have caused it."
"Sister, you can get used to it in the future." Xiao Xia knew that she cared about herself, and she was a little moved.
"What? You're going to go in the future, how can that baby be so easy to find? ”
"Catch a pheasant or a rabbit and give us a tooth sacrifice! I can't even remember the last time I ate meat. "In the last ten years, I ate frozen meat, no matter how delicious it was, I finally came here, and I couldn't eat enough for the poor.
"Didn't we eat a piece of fat meat by ourselves during the Chinese New Year!" Xiaochun remembers clearly that each of the three sisters only got a slice, and the sister-in-law ate it casually.
Xiao Xia listened to Xiao Chun's words, and felt even more uncomfortable. "Tomorrow I must catch a pheasant, stew, let's satisfy our hunger."
Koharu picked up the embroidery work from scratch. Looking at Xiao Xia's determined and victorious appearance, he shook his head and smiled. "Pheasants are not easy to catch, even our father, and we can only catch two pheasants before the first snow when the animals are all foraging everywhere. Now the pheasant is the most alert, don't think about it, stay at home tomorrow and learn embroidery! ”
Xiao Xia listened but was not discouraged, her father just relied on his hands to grasp it, he had advanced weapons, a pheasant could not deal with it, and the hot weapons in her space were enough to conquer the world in this era.
The next day, Xiao Xia changed his tactics and found a relatively hidden place, ambushed in a tree, with a telescope around his neck and a tranquilizer gun in his hand, intending to wait for the rabbit. Since they couldn't find the prey, it must have been because the wild creatures here heard the sound and ran away.
It was a waste of time, but it paid off, and Natsu finally waited in the telescope for a black pheasant, which was very fast and alert, and would turn its little head around almost every few seconds.
