Savage Tun is located in a valley, and unlike most of the plains in the northeast, it belongs to the Great Khing'an Mountains, surrounded by larches surrounded by several people. There are two streams in the valley where they meet, and the village is located at the intersection of the river valley, and it is said that most of the people who lived here were Oroqen, and after the founding of New China, many loggers also settled here, and slowly formed the current scale.

It is the beginning of September now, there is still some green in the mountains, Miao Dad is not one of the few people in the village who has seen the world, he is very prestigious here, he has a daughter named Miao Lan, a few months younger than me, when I saw her, the girl was drying mushrooms, I heard that we are the educated youth who came here to study, and saw the fat man injured like that, and immediately shouted in the village.

Glutinous rice is very common in the south, but this is the north, or the mountains, and it is even more difficult to find glutinous rice here than to climb to the sky. Why don't you say that the fat man is blessed with a great life? There is really a family in this village that has glutinous rice, and their relatives are from Huaiyuan County, Anhui Province, and last year they had a little special product, including a small bag of glutinous rice.

As for snake medicine, this is a big mountain, and people here will pick herbs to subsidize their families when they are not farming, and Cha Wenbin asked Father Miao to prepare all the things by noon.

At this time, the fat man's lips were purple, and he was shivering all over his body, and the parts from the root of his thighs down were all black, and his legs were already fat, and now they were almost as swollen as elephants.

At that time, the rumors were urgent, and Father Miao didn't dare to tell the truth in the village, only said that the child was bitten by some poisonous snake or something, and if he really said that he was a zombie, he would be unlucky if anyone went outside to complain.

Didn't go to the kang, just spread a layer of straw on the ground, Cha Wenbin Guan Miao Dad asked for a sharp knife on the fire to roast, and when the knife burned red, he slashed to the place where the stone fat man was scratched, I only heard a "swish" sound, accompanied by a smell of burnt skin and flesh, and suddenly the black blood flowed out like an earthworm.

Shi Fatzi half-squinted his eyes, and asked about the smell, but he had already injured his virtue, and he actually shouted to Yuan Xiaobai beside him: "Who is barbecing, I'm hungry, who is roasting, leave me some!" ”

Yuan Xiaobai glared at him angrily: "Your meat!" Rotten meat! ”

"What?" The fat man tried hard to prop up his body with his hands, and saw that Cha Wenbin was holding a knife and slashing on the other leg, only to see a burst of green smoke rising, and the red-hot knife was instantly extinguished by the fat man's blood.

Miao Lan was also watching from the side, and the little girl rubbed the corners of her clothes vigorously, and asked worriedly, "Won't he hurt?" ”

Cha Wenbin continued to lower his head and cut the fat man's flesh: "No, I don't believe you ask him." ”

"It doesn't hurt?" I asked.

The fat man turned his head and went down to the next and said, "It doesn't seem to hurt, this meat is mushy and can ask for Taoxiang, why don't I feel it?" ”

Cha Wenbin stood up, grabbed a handful of straw, wiped his hands, and said: "It is said that people will become like that if they are bitten by that, the first step is muscle paralysis, and you won't feel it if I saw it for you." ”

The fat man hurriedly begged for mercy: "Don't, Cha Ye, don't scare me, the sons and daughters of the revolution should unite with each other." Hey, by the way, what the hell are you doing, why don't you do this? ”

"Actually, it's the first time for me, try to draw a scoop according to the things in the book, wait for the blood to dry up and then apply these herbs, and then Xiaobai, will you cook, boil some glutinous rice porridge for him to drink."

Yuan Xiaobai looked at Cha Wenbin embarrassedly, then looked at the fat man, shook his head very firmly and said, "I won't ......"

However, Miao Lan grabbed the rice bag on the ground and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaobai is from the city, it is normal that she will not be able to, just leave the job of cooking to me." ”

"Okay, then I'll go and make a fire for you." "Brother Xiao Yi can make a fire?" "Hey, I'm also a rural kid, and I often do it at home." "Hee-hee, then you can try it, be careful with your face."

At noon, after we finished eating, Cha Wenbin asked Father Miao if there were any leeches here, and in the afternoon after learning that there were leeches by the stream ditch on the mountain, Miao Lan took us to catch seven or eight leeches and came back. Under the slightly frightened gaze of the fat man, those leeches were laid on his wound one by one until they were full of blood, someone used this trick to deal with snake venom before, but Daddy Miao didn't expect this teenage boy to know so much, and he couldn't help but start to look at him with admiration.

The fat man's injuries had been recuperating for more than a week, during which time he had been staying at Miao's father's house, and the next day we began to live in the house that had been prepared for us in Tunshang: an old warehouse.

Educated youths need to go to the fields to work, and together with other laborers in the village, in that era of large collectives, members of the production team need to participate in labor, also called "going to work". After the end of each day's labor, there will be an accountant of the production team to calculate the work points, basically a whole labor can get ten points for a day's work, and where can we just go to the doll compared with the adults who have been working in the field all year round, and they will get six or seven points, like Xiaobai, it is even more miserable, she is a city person who has never seen a hoe, let alone work, at the beginning, she can only drink those old, weak, sick and disabled to get one or two points.

At that time, one cent of work in Savage Tun was worth four cents, ten cents a day was four cents, and the production team took care of us, and when they saw that we couldn't do farm work, they would find something easy, Yuan Xiaobai was arranged to herd cattle and hunt pigweed, so that he could earn five cents a day.

At that time, there was a popular saying: "Labor division, labor division, the lifeblood of the member." "The distribution of all kinds of food, clothing and shopping, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are all calculated from this work, like we were assigned to eat together in the homes of various members in the early stage, and we had to earn work to repay other people's rations.

Teenage children, it is the time to grow their bodies, all of them can eat, take Shi Fat Man as an example, he can eat ten white flour buns in one meal, where is his little work enough for such rations? There was no way, so we went to dig up some wild vegetables and stuff them in coarse grains to make nests and eats, so that we could barely fill our stomachs.

The stone fat man has been raised for a whole week, and there is no big problem, and we have already started to work. Just in time to go to catch the autumn harvest season, how busy is Sensei, he has to get up at five o'clock in the morning, and after breakfast, he goes to the field with other members, and someone specially sends lunch to the field, and after eating, he works until the moon climbs the pole head.

The whole village depends on this ration to survive the winter, the season in the northeast is cold fast, and in the blink of an eye, it can drift heavy snow, and at that time even wild vegetables can not be dug up. We had to get the second dam in the field ready to plant wheat before the snow fell, and that month was the fastest time for me to make the transition from youth to youth. After a month, my skin darkened, my arms became thicker, the blisters on my palms broke and grew, grew and broke, and gradually formed a layer of calluses, and I was gradually able to adapt to the life of collective labor in the countryside.

Cha Wenbin and I live in the same room with the fat man, a big shop, Yuan Xiaobai lives next door, which is also our kitchen, separated by a curtain in the middle, the outside is for eating, and the inside is where she lives.

The warehouse where we live is not far from Miao's father's house, and after a month, we began to regenerate ourselves, and not enough food is the biggest problem. Fortunately, Miao Lan often comes to help us, their family has two shotguns, Miao Lan is a clay gun, said that her father used it before, the ancestors of Savage Tun are mostly Oroqen people, that ethnic group is to make a living from hunting, and almost every family here has hunters.

Father Miao often goes hunting, and there are a lot of roe deer, muntjac characters and hares and pheasants in this mountain, and sometimes he gives us a little bit for Miao Lan to send. Yuan Xiaobai originally didn't know how to cook, and neither did the three of us boys, but in that environment, everyone grew up very quickly, Yuan Xiaobai just watched Miao Lan cook and learned by herself, and slowly she could simply cook a few dishes.

Sometimes, when Daddy Miao is in a good mood, he will come over with a wine jug, which is filled with earth roast. At that time, food was very precious, where willing to use grain to make wine, but the hard-working Chinese are always creative, corn stalks, sorghum stalks, and starch-rich kudzu roots, these things are collected to make wine is earth burning, and its name is as primitive but very energetic.

Cha Wenbin and I don't drink, but Shi Fat Love, in the eyes of Daddy Miao, we children and grandchildren are still children, and we rarely give wine, and the fat man is more good at pestering, and when the old man is really not good, he will give some. Several times, I have seen Miao Lan go back to steal her father's wine and bring it to the fat man to drink, and I don't know how the kid persuaded her, in those days, the relationship between boys and girls was limited to comrades and comrades-in-arms.

Time flies, the end of October is here in a blink of an eye, the first snow of this year is a little later than last year, the hunters in the village have begun to prepare for the annual winter hunt, which is the guarantee of the whole village for the winter, and they attach great importance to it from door to door. The winter hunt in Savage Tun is organized by Miao Lao's father, his marksmanship is good, and he is a retired soldier, I heard Miao Lan say that after the first snow, large prey will leave footprints on the snow, and their target is those wild boars that have been raised for a whole year and large deer with horns on their heads, of course, sometimes they are lucky enough to hunt bears.

Unlike normal hunting, hunters need to go into the inaccessible mountains, and it usually takes four or five days from departure to return, during which the hunters do not return, and only the labor responsible for transporting the game will run back.

Originally, it was not our turn to take such an action, but as soon as the fat man heard that it was hunting, he came to the spirit, and finally got a hard job for us boys, and was allowed to follow behind as a foot force to carry prey, while Yuan Xiaobai and Miao Lan and the girls were responsible for collecting fungi and pine nuts, which are necessary ingredients for winter......
