Chapter VIII Base Areas
"You two will sleep here today, and tomorrow the old house behind the village will be cleaned up, just live there, there is no work in winter, and the time for winter hunting has not yet arrived, you should first get familiar with the people in the village, remember not to go casually in the mountains." Village Chief Liu gave some more warnings.
The next day, Liu Guiying took them to the old house, and the two of them were in a terrible mood, the windows were two big holes, and the doors were also tattered, the kind that could be kicked and broken. Liu Guiying said: "Don't underestimate this old house, fix it and warm it." ”
The fat man said: "I'm afraid the age of this house is older than the age of me and Lao An combined." ”
An Yiheng glanced at him: "So many words, hurry up and work, you want to be in such a house on a cold night." ”
"Bang" The fat man stood up straight, strode forward and said: "*** said, this is just the first step of the long march!" Resolutely fight against the reactionaries. ”
Yes, the evacuation was further, Yingzi brought a plastic sheet at home, fixed it on the window, sprinkled a thick layer of hay on the house, and the door was newly fixed and wrapped in plastic sheeting. Cleaned inside and out, the house is brand new, and the outside is in tatters.
"Fatty, our root base has been established now, and we will also take root here, marry and have babies in the future." An Yiheng said in a joking tone.
"Lao An, you can't be degenerate, you are still needed for national construction, and personal emotional problems have to be in the back row." The fat man said with wide eyes.
Yingzi just carried some wood into the house, and when she heard what they said, she felt a little unnatural in her heart, and said: "You two don't pull calves, hurry up and make a fire to burn the kang, I'll go to the house to get a quilt, and you two will deal with it first." ”
The fat man looked at Yingzi directly, and Yingzi was a little hairy.
"What."
"The two of us have a quilt, and we don't want to sleep in a quilt."
"It's good to have a quilt, this is still what my grandfather made for the two of you, be content."
An Yiheng quipped: "Fatty, it seems that we will have to sleep in the same trench in the future, which will increase our deep friendship, so it's decided." ”
The firewood was a little wet, which was a difficult task for the two of them, who had never burned a fire since childhood. The two pondered for a long time, the smoke was billowing in the room, An Yiheng pulled the fat man and ran out, and the two were choked with tears.
Village Chief Liu had just returned from collecting a condom in the mountains, and he had a good harvest, a rabbit and a pheasant. As soon as I entered the village, I saw billowing smoke, which was the direction of the old house behind the village, and I didn't care so much, so I hurriedly ran to that side, and shouted in my mouth: "It's on fire, come out to put out the fire." ”
The village beat gongs and drums, and the villagers carried buckets and rushed to the old house, if I hadn't stopped it quickly, the water in the bucket would have almost splashed on me and the fat man.
"Blind dates, I'm sorry, I'm used to staying in the city with fat people, and it's the first time I've burned firewood in my life." An Yiheng looked at them a little embarrassed, until the fat man was laughing non-stop next to him.
Village Chief Liu came out of the house, covered his nose, pointed at the two of us and scolded: "You two little rabbits, you won't knock on the wood if there is snow, and it's weird if the snow turns into water and can be lit." ”
The two of them were counted down, Yingzi brought the quilt too, and re-lit the kang for us, not to mention, as soon as the heat came up, the room was like a steamer. The two of them couldn't cook, so they had another meal at Village Chief Liu's house, and got a message at the dinner table.
Village Chief Liu: "Yingzi, the waters of the upper reaches of the Dobkul River have not yet been completely frozen, and there are a lot of prey on the mountain, so it seems that this winter hunt will be advanced." ”
Yingzi: "Grandpa, will this break the rules in the mountains, after all, this is the rule left by the ancestors." ”
"Rules are rules, I also want to make our village better, wait until the days are cold and snowy, and a few wild things can be found, I think it's good now."
When the fat man heard that he was going to enter the mountain, he was very happy, and hurriedly said: "It's still the old man who is right, let's fight cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and the gun is out of power, right, Lao An." ”
An Yiheng was idle, and the fat man had to make him speak, so he had to say: "I think, Uncle Liu, this rule should be kept or observed, and this hunt can't be stopped." ”
"Aren't you talking nonsense, you had a lot of ghost ideas when you were in the city, and now you're an old lady." After the fat man finished speaking, he turned his back.
Yingzi said: "That is, how can there be the best of both worlds, why do we have to go into the mountains every year on a snowy day, don't we just want to hunt more prey to earn some centimeters, if you have a good way, then I thank you for the whole village." ”
"Anwazi, if you have any tricks, hurry up, your brains in the city are smart."
The three of them looked at him together, An Yiheng swallowed his saliva and said, "We can dig traps and set up traps." ”
"It's all over the mountain, and if you touch it in the snow shell, you might be able to touch one." Village Chief Liu took a puff of his cigarette and turned his head away.
"I'm not done yet, what do the beasts in this mountain lack in winter?"
"I don't even have a place to eat." Yingzi replied casually.
"That's right, let's lay a good bait and wait for the prey to take the bait, and we won't go into the old forest, just in our area, I don't believe it, the fragrance of food can't seduce the prey." An Yiheng swept around with his eyes.
Village Chief Liu denied it at the time: "No, the grain village is strictly managed, if there is a shortage, I can't afford it." Besides, people are reluctant to eat this grain, and give it to animals, so it's not a waste. ”
Liu Guiying thought for a while and said, "Grandpa, this is a good way, do you want to add a pound of grain for a prey, do we make money." "Blink and look at it with big eyes.
The fat man got up, pulled Village Chief Liu and said, "How many centimeters is a pound of grain, and how many centimeters is a hundred or ten pounds of prey, we have made a lot of money." ”
An Yiheng continued: "This is a business that only makes money and does not lose money, and you can't give up the child and the wolf." ”
The three of them looked at Village Chief Liu blankly, the cigarette bag and pot fell on the table, pushed open the door and left, leaving a sentence: "Wait, I'll discuss with the village party secretary." ”
The fat man pulled An Yiheng and said with a smile: "Lao An, there is really you, this will fool Village Chief Liu." ”
Pushing him away, Yingzi wanted to say something, but he turned around and left. On one wall of the village chief's house is written, 'Hu Daxian keeps the family safe', and there is an incense burner and two plates of fruit below. Yingzi stepped forward and lit three incense sticks, bowed, and said something in his mouth, and then respectfully inserted it into the incense burner.
The fat man secretly asked An Yiheng, what is "Hu Daxian" doing.
"One of the five immortals, Hu Sanye Hu Sanmao knows no, in the family of the immortals, the Tao is the deepest, they observe the good and evil in the world, know the good and bad of the people, and keep the family safe. Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Hu are the immortals of the Northeast, benevolent and charitable, profound, solving disasters and turning dangers into disasters. Zhangyi sparses wealth, responds to requests, and is an immortal who protects the family. In Qingyan Temple in Liaoning Province, that is, enshrine the Baojia Immortal, and at the same time there is the incarnation of the crooked neck old mother, that is, Guanyin Bodhisattva, there are many worshippers every year, and the four seasons do not stop. Pray outside the cave with three pillars of incense, the spirit talisman protects the body, and all industries prosper. However, it also belongs to the category of cow ghosts and snake gods now. ”
