Chapter 19: Something is calling to me
The school is far away, and Xiaoxue and Xiaohan don't come back to eat at noon. Xiaoman and her father and mother at home.
Xiao Manniang: "What's the matter?" You said. ”
"I want to go to the mountains and open some land." Xiao Man thought about it and felt that he still had to have his own land. Although she can hunt, she can exchange her prey for money and then use it to buy food. But she felt that it was unrealistic. Sometimes, even if you have money, you can't buy food.
To be on the safe side, Xiaoman decided to open a few plots of land in the mountains. The land in the mountains is empty and empty.
Xiaoman can find the land, and he can also stop the beast. But she doesn't know how to farm.
Little Man's father: "We have land now." ”
Xiaoman: "How long can our family's food be eaten?" ”
Xiao Manniang: "One year." ”
Xiaoman: "If the harvest is not good next year, will we have to go hungry?" ”
Xiao Manniang: "This ......"
Little Man's father: "How can I grow food in the mountains?" The planting also spoiled the beasts. ”
Xiaomanniang: "That's it." ”
Xiaoman can't say that he has a way: "I want to try." ”
Xiao Manniang: "What to try?" Dine. ”
Xiaoman looked at her father: "I don't want to go hungry." ”
Little Man's father: "This ......"
Xiao Manniang: "What is this?" Children are not sensible, and you are not sensible? Dine. ”
Xiaoman: "I can't try much food, if it happens, we will have one more way than others." ”
Xiao Manniang: "It can't be done, eat." ”
Xiaoman: "Dad? ”
Little Man's father: "Or, let's try?" ”
Xiao Manniang: "What to try?" The mountain is not yours? You sow it, and someone else will reap it for you. ”
Xiaoman: "No. ”
Xiao Manniang: "Why not?" Those wild fruits on the mountain were picked before they were ripe. ”
Xiaoman: "No one usually goes to the deep mountains. ”
Xiao Manniang: "What? You're going to farm in the mountains? Are you going to farm or feed the wolves? ”
Xiaoman: "I have a lot of strength." ”
Xiao Manniang: "No matter how strong you are, you can't be as big as a tiger." No way. Give me the honesty to stay at home. ”
Xiaoman: "Okay. "It seems that I can only think about planting it myself." Dine. ”
After eating, Xiao Manniang went to the kitchen to brush the pot. Xiaoman's father looked at his daughter: "You really don't want to go?" ”
Xiaoman didn't speak.
"Your mother is right, no matter how strong you are, you can't be as strong as a tiger."
Xiao Man got up and went to the yard to pick up a fist-sized stone.
Xiao Man's father was about to ask: What are you picking up stones for? The stone in Xiao Man's hand shattered.
Xiaoman's father was stunned for a long time: "Dad will go with you." ”
"You're not afraid?"
"I'm afraid I can't let you go alone. Besides, our family really doesn't have much food. If there is a disaster year, you will really starve. By the way, don't let your mother know about this. Save her from chattering. ”
"Hmm."
"When are you going?"
"In a few days. Go now, my mother will know when she thinks about it. ”
"Yes, then I'll go back in a few days."
"Hmm."
After the father and daughter said yes, Xiaoman began to prepare things for entering the mountain.
Five days later, the father and daughter set off.
Xiao Manniang asked them where they were going? Little Man's father said to go to the mountains to get something. Xiao Manniang was afraid that Xiao Man would go into the mountains, and Xiao Man's father said that he would look at Xiao Man. He also said that they wanted to hunt more things this time and were going to stay in the mountains for more than ten days.
The last time I helped the police save people, Xiaoman thought that the mountain was good. After coming out of the house, Xiaoman took his father to the mountain.
The mountains are huge. It took Xiaoman and his father seven days to complete the whole mountain. They
I found three valleys, two big and one small. It adds up to almost 30 acres.
Outside each valley, Xiao Man set up two formations with trees and stones. Whether it's a human or an animal, walking here will go around it. Even if you accidentally break through the first formation, you will be led to another place by the second formation.
After setting up the formation, Xiao Man found a few more trees and planted them in the valley. The bark of this tree gives off a smell that birds don't like.
In the past, if she wanted to ambush the enemy in the mountains, she would give her soldiers a bag of powder, which was ground from the bark of the tree. As soon as the soldiers brought their bags, the birds stayed away from them. In this way, the enemy cannot spot them by observing the birds.
This toss, more than ten days passed. Xiaoman's father and daughter should also go back. On his way back, Xiaoman killed a wild boar with a stone. Seven rabbits, five chickens.
After going down the mountain, the father and daughter went directly to the county. After selling the game, he went to the grain store and bought two bags of seeds and left.
When passing by Hexi Village, Xiaoman stopped.
Little Man's father: "What's wrong?" Tired? ”
"Nope."
"Then why don't you leave?"
Xiao Man touched his chest: "I feel that something in this village is calling me." ”
"What? Xiaoman, don't scare Dad. ”
"Really." Xiaoman raised his feet and walked towards Hexi Village.
Xiaoman's father hurriedly grabbed Xiaoman: "I can't go." ”
"It's going to be fine, don't worry. I am...... I just feel like there's something in this village calling me. Daddy, I must go. ”
"You kid."
Xiaoman's heart trembled: "Dad, I have to go." I'll regret not going. ”
Daddy Xiao Man stomped his foot: "Okay, go." Go. ”
"Thank you, Dad."
"Peep!" Xiao Man's father twisted his face to the side: "Don't leave yet?" ”
"Let's go." By feeling, Xiaoman walked to the village committee of Hexi Village.
There was a bunch of people standing in the courtyard of the village council.
Xiaoman squeezed through the crowd and squeezed to the front.
When he got to the front, Xiao Man's feeling was even stronger. Xiao Man looked at the ground, and there was a horse lying on the ground, with a big belly, which should be pregnant. There were three people squatting around the horse. One is the head of Nanhe Village, and the other two are veterinarians in the town. "What's wrong with this horse?"
The three men on the ground did not speak. The person next to Xiaoman said: "The stables have collapsed." ”
Xiao Man looked at the horse on the ground: "Is there salvation?" ”
"The doctor said there was no help."
Xiao Man walked over: "Village Chief, you can sell this horse to me." ”
The head of Nanhe Village: "What are you talking about?" ”
Little Man's father: "What are you buying it for?" It was dead before it saw it. ”
Xiaoman looked into her father's eyes and said, "I want to buy it." ”
"You ......" Xiaoman's father stomped his foot: "You kid." ”
Xiao Man looked back at the village chief of Nanhe Village and said, "You can sell this horse to me." ”
"This ......" The village chief of Nanhe Village looked at Xiao Man's father: "This horse is not good." ”
"It doesn't matter. How much? ”
"Do you really want to?"
"Hmm."
"Then ......," the village chief asked, looking at the people in the yard, "then we will sell this horse to her?" ”
The people in the courtyard agreed.
The village chief looked at Xiaoman and asked, "You have the final say?" ”
"Hmm."
"That's good. Then we'll sell you the horse. ”
"How much?"
"This ......," the village chief looked at the people in the courtyard and asked, "Why don't we sell it to her at the price of meat?" ”
Some of the villagers agreed, some disagreed.
Village Chief: "Otherwise, let's vote by a show of hands, and the minority obeys the majority." ”
Xiaoman: "No. It can be sold at the price of the horse, and the pony in its belly is also sold at the price of life. ”
Everyone: Is this girl stupid?!
Xiaoman's father: Is my daughter evil?
