Chapter 398: Lucheng in His Mouth

Regardless of the area, the mountains are withered and yellow, and there is little green, and the surviving greenery on both sides of the river has been dug up by the flood of victims.

The once depopulated Sanzhi area has become a paradise for the victims, with water, grassroots, fish, seafood... There are also wild beasts that have survived in the mountains.

At first, the river was shallow, and the victims enjoyed a comfortable life, and they didn't have to roll up their trousers to go down the river full of fish, and the three-year-old baby could catch a few fish.

Gradually, the river became shallower and shallower, and there were fewer and fewer fish, so many victims began to organize their own teams, or go to the sea to fish, or go into the mountains to dig traps to catch wild beasts.

The once deserted mountains are now crowded with shacks.

Today, Wei Dafu's ancestors and grandchildren spent a day lying on the outskirts of the mountain and caught two mountain rats, which are accustomed to storing food in the hole, but they can survive longer than rabbits, pheasants and other small animals.

Today's harvest is quite rich, Wei Dafu's shriveled face added a little joy, returned to the bottom of the mountain and placed his grandson in the shack and said: "Cheng'er, you are so good to stay at home, don't walk around, grandpa will go to the river to hunt the whole mountain mouse, and come back to give you stewed meat to eat later." ”

Wei Cheng nodded: "Grandpa, come back soon, it's getting dark, and the road is not easy to walk." ”

Wei Dafu broke the crockpot in his hand: "Okay." ”

Several strong men by the river were beating a leopard, and Wei Dafu went down the riverbank, looking at the big leopard on the riverbed, his eyes were full of envy.

People in the mountains do not like to team up with the old and weak, women and children, he dragged his seven-year-old grandson several times to join the team into the mountains to hunt was refused, but he had no choice but to take his grandson alone to find some small animals on the periphery of the mountain, it has become more and more difficult to hunt food recently, Wei Dafu is inevitably anxious, this meeting a few people can't help but want to be close to them, so as to find more ways for grandchildren.

When several men saw the stranger approaching, they immediately shouted loudly: "Old man, stop, don't go any further." ”

Everyone is quite cautious in front of food, even if the other party is alone, or an old man, then you have to be careful to deal with it, in the era of extreme lack of food, who knows what will happen, it's always right to be careful.

Wei Dafu paused and smiled honestly: "I have no malice, I see that the big leopard you hunt is curious, and I want to come over to take a look, and by the way, I want to learn from all the strong men." You see, I have food. He shook the crockpot in his hand and said honestly.

One of the men said: "Oh~ Aren't you the old man who joined our team a few days ago." ”

Wei Dafu nodded again and again: "It's here, strong man, I don't know if you can reconsider, my body is still strong, it's good to help you fight." ”

The man waved his hand and said: "No, no, how can your body bones be called strong, what kind of mountain is an old bone into, now the beasts in the mountains are fierce, not to mention that you are still dragging a little baby, if you have a little baby with three long and two short, the little baby will not survive, you still honestly catch your little mouse." ”

Wei Dafu pleaded: "I'm only forty-one today, my body is good, and I have a lot of strength..."

The man looked him up and down, and flatly refused: "Don't fool me and wait, don't say more, we won't accept you, stay away, stay away." ”

Wei Dafu pleaded several times to no avail, squatted by the river to clean up the mountain rats, complained about others, traveled long distances for half a year, was exposed to the wind and sun, gnawed tree bark for a long time, did not eat well and slept well and had to take care of his grandchildren, and looked like a sixty-year-old man in his forties.

Who in today's world would want to take in an old man who seems useless.

"Eh, Angkor, do you think what that man said today is true?" Several men chatted while taking care of the leopard.

Wu Lei scraped the internal organs of the intestines up and down with the knife edge, and said: "I estimate how much is true and how much is false, let's take a look in two days." ”

Another man looked incredulous: "I don't think it's true, how can there be such a good thing in the world, don't talk about the disaster year, it is a good year to find such a cheap thing." ”

"That's it, that's it, I don't believe it, it's too mysterious to do a day's work to give three catties of fine grain, and even regardless of the old and weak, you can settle in the city, where does this realm come from, I think he is bragging, blowing like the fairy world, I conclude that he must have saved a stomach of bad water, and wants to fool us away to monopolize the beasts in the mountains."

"I don't think so, the mountains here are undulating, and I don't have to fight for the top of the mountain, not to mention that the man came back to pack up his belongings and moved to the city in his mouth, in order to fool us, we won't throw away the house..."

Hearing that the brothers were talking about each other, Wu Lei said: "Hearing is false, seeing is believing, and everything will come to a conclusion when we see it." ”

The man who provoked this conversation responded: "What the eldest brother said is reasonable, and when the time comes, it will be true as he said, let's also move over and live a fairy life by eating fine grains." ”

Wu Lei bowed his head and said, "Well, I hope what he said is true." ”

After listening to the words of several men with pointed ears, Wei Dafu seemed to see the dawn, moved his legs, and said earnestly: "Brave men, where is the Lucheng that you talked about?" Can you specify one or two below? ”

Wu Lei raised his head: "What, do you want to go?" ”

Wei Dafu's head was like pounding garlic: "I want to go!" ”

Wu Lei said: "We haven't been there either, I've heard someone say it, it's true or not, so do you still go?" ”

Wei Dafu said categorically: "Go!" ”

Wu Lei raised his eyebrows, this old man should have been a man when he was young, and said in a slightly slower tone: "Follow the river into the sea and keep going, about one hundred and fifty miles, brother, let me state first, the news comes from the mouth of others, we don't know the specific situation at all, if you go, you can't complain about any mistakes." ”

"Don't complain, don't complain, thank you for your outspokenness." Wei Dafu bowed to the end, thanked him, and then hurriedly scooped up a can of water, and hurriedly left the river.

Wu Lei turned his head to look at the figure that disappeared into the night, and sighed and muttered: "Thank you, this world is not up to anyone, and it is not easy for everyone to live!" ”

Wei Dafu returned to the shack, stewed a mountain mouse for his grandson, gave the grandson all the meat, drank the rest of the soup by himself, and roasted the other mountain mouse in a cloth bag.

Wei Cheng asked, "Grandpa, what are you doing with the meat?" ”

Wei Dafu said with a smile: "Stay it to make dry food for you, our ancestors and grandchildren are going to rush at night again." ”

Wei Cheng's little face collapsed: "Grandpa, didn't you say that we will live here?" "He didn't want to leave, there was meat to eat, it was much, much better than rushing.

Wei Dafu touched his head and said: "The food in the mountains will soon be wiped out by everyone, grandpa will take you to a place with food and meat, didn't you like the county seat very much before, it should be better than the county seat." ”

A smile bloomed on Acropolis' dirty face: "Really? ”

Wei Dafu nodded vigorously: "Really! Although he was not sure, he sincerely hoped that his expectations would not be disappointed, and his heart was more determined.

"Let's go!" Wei Dafu carried his grandson on his back and set off towards hope. I want to talk with more like-minded people about "Crossing the Farming and Escaping the Desert", "Chat with more book friends about your favorite books."
