Chapter 4 Hu Huang does not stick
After spitting up all the dirty stuff, my grandfather was finally able to speak, but after he clicked his mouth, he said very weakly, "Who are you...... Yes? How could I ......"
I don't remember anything about today, my grandfather sighed, and was about to speak, but the old lame man spoke first, and the old lame man wiped his hand on his clothes, and then said to my grandfather: "Don't care who I am, I heard that you are hunting, tell me what you met yesterday?" ”
And listening to the old lame man say this, my grandfather simply told my grandfather what happened today, sure enough, although my grandfather usually has a domineering donkey surname, but as soon as he heard that he was evil today, plus now there is no place on his body that is not uncomfortable, and suddenly my grandfather was cowardly, so he desperately recalled for a while, then he cried and said with a sad face: "I didn't touch anything, just hunting?" ”
"I can't." The old lame man sat on the kang again, and while he looked at my grandfather, he said to him, "You spit it out just now, and there are a lot of grievances in it." ”
"Come on, think about it, can you have a snack!" My grandfather couldn't help but look at his son like this, so he scolded my grandfather for the first time, to say that my grandfather had never seen his father make such a big fire, and now he is also very scared, so he said with some grievances: "I really haven't encountered anything strange...... It's just hunting as usual...... Ah, by the way, I don't know if this counts. ”
Seeing that my grandfather seemed to have some clues, the old lame man told him to go on, and my grandfather told me what he had encountered yesterday when he went up to the mountains to hunt.
It turned out that he overslept yesterday, and it was almost noon when he got up on the kang, to say that he could sleep until this time in the countryside, it is estimated that in addition to the sick number is the blind stream, but my grandfather doesn't care about this, although he doesn't have to work in the slack season, but he just can't stay at home, the main reason is that he lost money playing mahjong the day before yesterday, no way, there is no entertainment in the countryside in winter, in that era, it was a few idle people playing mahjong and pushing pai gow or something, my grandfather had bad luck that night, Persuaded to lose all the spare money in his pocket, you said this person, it's also very interesting, the more you lose, the more you want to get back to your capital, but you can't help but have a lot of money at hand, and even if he is thick-skinned, he is embarrassed to reach out to his family because of this.
But he didn't take this seriously, because he had the capital, his capital is the mountain outside the village, you must know that although he is a gunner who cooks and stir-fries and plays mahjong, but once he enters the mountain, the luck is not blown, when he was in the commune, there was a year of heavy snow covering the mountain, and Qiao Cockfighting was stunned for three days and didn't even fight a mouse, but my grandfather would hold two pheasants every day, and occasionally he could stretch the wolf, the little wild boar or something, and the worst thing was that he was not willing to move, so he sat under the tree and rested, At this time, a hazelnut flew down from the sky, and without saying a word, it hit a tree and fell to his death, and he didn't even fire a gun.
Although my grandfather didn't know why he came, but years of hunting life had made him develop a habit, and in his heart, hunting in the mountains was not like carrying a gun into a commissary, not something he liked?
So he went into the mountain, but as soon as he entered the mountain, he regretted it, you must know that the snow in the mountain is not melted once in half a year, plus a while ago there was a snow, the new snow pressed the old snow, the snow was flooded to the knees, it was really difficult to walk, plus the sky was so cold, it didn't take long for my grandfather to freeze the big snot bubbles came out, my grandfather also wanted to go back, but a thought has already gone up the mountain, this is going back again, isn't it in vain to freeze, this is really a thief does not go empty, do not fish for something he does not bring back.
After walking all afternoon, finally, when the sun was about to set, he jumped on two pheasants, or as smooth as before, the two pheasants were as if they were nailed to the tree, I really doubt that they could be dragged down with their hands, my grandfather finally hit the prey, and thought that these two pheasants were enough to play tonight, so he hummed a little song and walked back, but the sky was already dark, the mountain wind was blowing, this froze my grandfather, it didn't work, I didn't go far, this damn Tim actually snowed again.
The goose feather snow at night and the strong wind, soon my grandfather's eyes were confused, because it was dark and could not distinguish the direction, so he did not dare to walk around at will, for fear of going in the wrong direction and then freezing to death on the mountain, what can I do, in fact, my grandfather was not afraid at the time, after all, he is also an old hunter, he knows, the most important thing now is to find a shelter from the wind, build a fire to warm up first, and then wait for the snow to be a little smaller to make a torch to light the way home.
So my grandfather began to look around for dry wood and a place to make a fire, because it was dark so he didn't know, at that time he was slowly walking into the depths of the forest, to say that this place he usually doesn't come much, I don't know why, there is nothing in this bush, and it is easy to cut clothes, but now he can't take care of it, you know that the bushes are very easy to burn, so he walked in the direction of the bushes.
"Brother!!
Just when my grandfather was just taking a step, suddenly there was a cry of joy behind him, but it was this voice that almost didn't scare my grandfather over. Although the sound sounds quite familiar and disgusting.
My grandfather was so frightened that he almost shouted, but he immediately recognized who made the sound, so a look of disgust suddenly appeared on his face, and he turned around and scolded: "What brother, who is your brother, where did you come from!?" ”
That's right, the reason why my grandfather is not afraid is that he heard it, this person is the Qiao Orion, sure enough, when he turned around, the surname Qiao came out from behind the tree, and walked over with an uncharacteristically smile, through the snow, my grandfather can vaguely recognize his face, still so disgusting, thief eyebrows, small eyes, one eye looks at you, the other eye doesn't know who to look at.
In the meantime, Qiao Orion came to my grandfather's side, put his hand on my grandfather's shoulder, and said very affectionately: "Alas, brother, isn't this my uncle, seeing that you haven't come home yet, let me come to you." ”
"Come up to the side for me, and see that you don't bother others!" My grandfather slapped Joe's hand like a fly, and then sneered at him and said, "Just you, and you were sent to pick me up?" Are you joking with me about the Marxist International, and don't look at your eyes, are you lost yourself and want me to take you down? I'll tell you, there's no door, get out of here, stay away from me! Don't say I'll pin (beat) your jacket. ”
My grandfather was really annoyed when he saw this surnamed Qiao, but after he finished speaking, the Qiao Orion didn't get angry, but said with some urgency: "It's really a brother, can I fool you, hurry up, it's such a cold day, I'll take you down the mountain." ”
Anyway, he dragged my grandfather's cotton sleeve with his hand and walked back, this drag doesn't matter, really pulled my grandfather's fire out, think about what kind of temper my grandfather is, the whole village is a little overlord, the two of them have a grudge, plus now my grandfather is cold and hungry and trapped in the mountains, suddenly the fire in his heart rubbed up, I saw that he didn't move, one hand grabbed the situation, directly grabbed Qiao Orion's collar, and then he dragged him over, and then scolded viciously:" With whom are you, who are you used to, I'll tell you about the jacket, I was holding back the fire in my belly, you want to go back and roll yourself, don't say I'm not polite to you, I'll check the number, let go, one, don't hear it. ”
Seeing that my grandfather was really anxious, Qiao Orion was suddenly a little anxious, but not angry, but a little anxious, only to see him say in a tone that was similar to pleading: "Brother, I beg you, come down the mountain with me, okay......"
"Two!" My grandfather didn't talk nonsense, and answered him directly with Arabic numerals, and at the same time, he quietly let go of his hand and untied the gun rope that was being carried cross-body.
"It's not brother, what's that, you listen to my explanation......"
"Ping Pong !!!" Deafening, my grandfather was really anxious, he took a gun in one hand and put a shot directly into the sky, in this snowy mountain, the gunfire was particularly harsh, and the smell of gunpowder spread, and this time it was really good, at the moment of the gunshot, the Qiao Orion brushed and let go, and at the same time turned around and ran away, he ran fast, and even rolled and climbed, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Hahaha! Silly! Look at your little cowardice! My grandfather carried the gun and looked up to the sky and smiled, I have to say that the shot just now was the most rewarding shot he had put in recent years, mainly because he was too relieved, and finally let him take revenge.
But he laughed twice and didn't laugh, mainly because it was too fucking cold, hey, you said, when the surnamed Qiao came over just now, why didn't I feel cold, my grandfather was a little puzzled, he must have been angry with him, I didn't know that it was cold, my grandfather hummed all his life, and then wrapped his padded jacket tightly, turned around and walked towards the bush.
This bush is an acorn, this thing can be used for rations in the famine years, but when it is not starving, only wild boars eat it, the wind is stronger, my grandfather is frozen enough, he originally thought of pulling some dry firewood, how do you know that he thought very well, but this thing is more than a strip of leather after it is frozen, and it is constantly pulling.
"I'm so frustrated, it's all weird surnamed Joe...... Well? "My grandfather didn't pull it for a long time, so he scolded the idle street, but he scolded and scolded and suddenly found that there seemed to be some light in the distance. My grandfather rubbed his eyes, the blue light just now disappeared, my grandfather felt a little curious, so he subconsciously walked in that direction.
After walking for a while, suddenly he screamed, then slapped his thigh, and shouted from the lines in the play: "Hey~~! Creation, it's really creation, this is really a home made in heaven~~! ”
In fact, it is not so exaggerated, but at that time he was walking, and suddenly found that there was a depression in the bushes, because of the wind, plus there was a big tree on it, so there was no snow in this small area, only a moment had broken a big tree, I don't know how the tree was broken, the upper half of it was still on the side, it looked like it had been up for a year.
My grandfather hurriedly walked over, and the stump was rotten for a long time because of the age, and it was very dry to the touch.
You don't have to freeze to death now! My grandfather thought of this, and immediately put down the gun, and then he spit on his hand twice, and began to look like bark from the trunk of the book on the side, the tree was indeed broken for many years, and it was brittle, and after a while, my grandfather was like a large handful of book covers, and then he picked up some hay, and carefully lit it, and little by little gathered a fire, and moved the fire to the hole in the dead tree, and quickly added a few handfuls of hay and bark.
The fire is finally burning, but who would have thought that an unexpected strange thing would follow?
Just when my grandfather's heart had just settled down and wanted to be warm, suddenly a scream came from the tree hole: "Squeak!! ”
This sudden sound frightened my grandfather again, just when he didn't slow down, I saw something swishing out of the burning tree hole, my grandfather took a look at it by the firelight and immediately laughed, hey, isn't this a 'big-eyed thief'?
The big-eyed thief, also known as the yellow squirrel, is a kind of rat, which is very common in the mountains, so my grandfather was not too surprised at all, but happy, although the big-eyed thief in front of him was burned enough to choke, and it looked bigger than the average big-eyed thief, but no matter how big you are, aren't you also a mouse? It just so happened that he was cold and hungry now, so he immediately got up and trampled the big-eyed thief who was still struggling to death, and at this time, I only heard the squeaking sound in the tree hole, and my grandfather was overjoyed, and felt that he had a nest of rats on fire!
Thinking of this, my grandfather didn't talk nonsense, he quickly threw the dead mouse aside, and then turned around and threw all the bark into the tree hole, the fire was even stronger, and the sound of the big-eyed thief screaming was louder, and it was tossed like this for more than half an hour, and the sound slowly dissipated.
My grandfather saw that the snow had stopped, and he was not cold after sweating, so he found a wooden stick and extinguished the embers in the tree hole, and at this time, a smell of burnt meat came to his face, which made my grandfather frown, because he felt that the taste was not right, even if it was a raw roasted mouse, he had eaten it, but he had never smelled such a disgusting smell, it was scratchy and smelly, I didn't know what was going on, so my grandfather used the wooden stick to pull, and after a while, he asked him to take out dozens of animal carcasses from the tree hole!
"It's so frustrating!!" My grandfather looked at the corpses and shouted loudly, it turned out that the things in this cave were not big-eyed thieves at all, but yellow-skinned people.
Huangpizi, whose scientific name is weasel, is distributed in many areas of China, and is a small carnivore, because since ancient times, there is a saying in the Northeast folklore that "Hu Huang does not stick", which is about these two animals are very spiritual, unless they have to be lightly injured, and it is said that Huangpizi has the heaviest sense of revenge, and the flesh is thin and tendony, scratching and smelly, so the hunters who go up the mountain will not provoke them.
It seems that this is a group of cats with yellow skins, there are dozens of large and small, and many of them have been roasted into charcoal, it seems that there should be a hole in the ground under this dead tree hole, and the fire is sealed on it, plus the cold and freezing make it impossible for them to escape, so they are all suffocated inside.
And the cub who ran out before should be a yellow-skinned cub, so my grandfather mistook him for a "big-eyed thief".
Even though my grandfather has been an old hunter for many years, he can't help but feel sick to his stomach when he sees that scene at that time, scratching the fishy stench, even if he is hungry and has no appetite, and these dozens of yellow skins are placed in front of him, how can he not think of those folk legends? The more I pondered, the more my grandfather felt that the back of his neck was in the cool breeze, so he hurriedly lit a torch and hurriedly searched for the way down the mountain, but he could not have imagined that such a terrible thing would happen the next day.
When he came back to his senses, my grandfather looked at the dirty things he had vomited, how could they look like the charcoal ashes that had been burned in the hole of the tree, and the smell......
Hearing him say this, my grandfather was already angry, he glared at my grandfather, wanted to scold, but couldn't scold, and my grandfather was not much better, between which the beads of sweat on his head began to fall, so he pleaded to the old lame man: "Big brother, big brother, please, save me, am I being pitted by the yellow skin?" ”
After thinking for a while, the old lame man replied helplessly: "You are really capable, ordinary people can't hide in a hurry when they go up the mountain, and you actually gave a big encirclement and suppression...... However, there is something strange about this. ”
"Big brother, just say it." My grandfather sighed, and then looked at his unfortunate son, who had nothing to do now, but hoped that the lame man would show them a clear way.
The old cripple thought for a while, and then slowly spoke: "As far as I know, among the five immortal soldiers, the Huang family's heart path is the narrowest, if you provoke them, you will definitely retaliate immediately, and you will not wait for the next day, and their revenge methods will not be so light, it is dozens of surnames!" And ......"
At this point, the old lame man turned his head and looked at my grandfather again and said, "The Orion surnamed Qiao you mentioned is the one who helped drag you yesterday...... Isn't he cross-eyed? Why are you squinting again? ”
Yes!!
My grandfather just noticed this, didn't Joe Orion become 'Joe Fighting' earlier, why did he still squint his eyes when he saw him yesterday? And his clothes seem to be from more than ten years ago, oh my God, what the hell is going on!
Suddenly, my grandfather said with a pale face, "Could it be ............ Yesterday's old Joe was a dirty thing, and it was going to hurt me? ”
When Shao Cripple saw my grandfather say this, he thought thoughtfully for a while, and then said: "I don't know what the situation is now, so I don't know what's going on, but what I can be sure of is that what you provoked this time is a big disaster." ”
Hearing him say this, my grandfather came back to his senses, he is a genuine rural person, more or less knows the stakes of some of these things, now that his own lone seedling has been robbed by this, how can he not feel afraid? So he pleaded to Shao Cripple with tears in his eyes: "Please ask Mr. Shao to save my son, even if our family is bankrupt, we will repay Mr. ...... Please............"
Before my grandfather could finish speaking, the old lame man waved his hand and interrupted: "Since I have met, I will definitely help, I don't want your family's money, just take care of my meal, if you can...... I want to stay in your village, I'm too old to walk, and I don't want to go anymore. ”
After saying these words that people couldn't understand, the old lame man turned his head to look out the window, at this time it was dark and the sky was falling, and although my grandfather didn't understand what the mystery of his words was, but he understood the specific meaning, after all, there were too many people fleeing the famine these years, and this old cripple wanted to take root in this village.
So he hurriedly bowed his hand to the lame man Shao, and then said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Shao, don't worry, I still have a bit of weight in this village, as long as Mr. helps, I will find the captain tomorrow, and let everyone help build a house for Mr., and everyone will live in the same village in the future, and they can all have a ...... to take care of."
Don't look at my grandfather as an old farmer, but there is also a bit of mystery in this statement, the meaning is simple and clear, as long as you save my grandfather, you can say anything, provided that you can save it.
However, Shao Cripple didn't care too much, he still looked at the sky outside the window thoughtfully, and only heard him say lightly in a still very calm tone: "I will definitely help if I can help, but it depends on your son's own creation, and ...... I said don't call me sir...... If you have to use the local dialect, call me "Ershen'er", or "help move". ”
