Chapter 19 Follow Brother Han to have meat to eat
"And me! Brother Han, and me!! As soon as Xiao Shi heard that there was meat to eat, he immediately jumped up and circled around Zhao Han very flatteringly.
Zhao Han pinched his little face and said with a smile: "Yes, yes!" Of course, our little stones!! ”
"Brother Han, why do you like to pinch people's faces like my second sister?" Little Stone ran away with his face in his hand and made a big grimace lively.
The children laughed happily, and Liu looked at the sky and said, "You guys play, the sheets haven't been washed yet, and I'll go to the stream." Don't go crazy and remember to go home for dinner. ”
Since Emperor Taizu, he has been eating three meals a day. The big families and restaurants in the town have also developed the habit of eating three meals a day in the morning, noon and evening for decades. However, many ordinary people, due to family problems, still continue the custom of eating breakfast and dinner. This makes Yu Xiaocao very unaccustomed!
"Mother, with me looking at my younger brothers and sisters, you can rest assured!" Although Yu Hang really wanted to follow Brother Han to check the trap, he was still worried about the task of collecting firewood.
He had just learned from Xiaolian's mouth that because he didn't see him in the morning, his grandmother had already made a fire. The only way to get her to stop is to do more work.
Zhao Han was very aware of the situation of their brother and sister, so he just beckoned to Xiaocao and Xiaoshi, and said, "Are you willing to check the trap with Brother Han?" ”
"Good! All right! After all, Xiaoshi was young, so he agreed without thinking about it.
Yu Xiaocao looked at the Yu Hang brothers and sisters who were trying to bend down to pick up firewood, and was a little hesitant for a while. Seeing this, Yu Xiaolian said with a smile: "Little sister, can you help more with your little strength?" Don't stay here and make a mess! ”
"Second sister, when we come down from the mountain, we can also help collect firewood!" Xiao Shi's mind turned quickly, trying his best to convince Yu Xiaocao.
Yu Xiaocao's family lived in the plains in the past, and he was very curious about hunting in the mountains. She hesitated for a moment, and finally curiosity prevailed: "Brother, Xiaolian, I'll help you collect firewood when I come down." I'll be back soon! ”
Zhao Han's traps are all set on the periphery of the mountains and forests, there are no fierce beasts, and even large prey are very rare. This is also the reason why he dared to bring his sister and brother in.
The big Futian, the scorching sun outside, can dry people out of oil. In the dense forest, it is as cool as autumn, which makes people very comfortable. Yu Xiaocao thought in his heart, if the weather is hotter, do you want to come in to escape the heat?
"Be careful! Sister Xiaocao, there is a trap in front of you, don't fall down!! Zhao Han saw that the little girl was looking around, curious about everything, and didn't go down to the soles of her feet at all. How dangerous, he couldn't help but remind him.
Pitfall? Yu Xiaocao bent down to take a closer look, and sure enough, he found a different place. Not to mention, this little brother Zhao's technique of setting traps is not bad, and he can't find it if he doesn't look closely.
"Set up a trap here, aren't you afraid of accidentally injuring the villagers who enter the mountain?" Yu Xiaocao asked with some concern.
Xiao Shi replied for him with a smile: "Second sister, except for you, even the three-year-old children in the whole village know the signs of the Zhao family's trap. If you look at the knots on the branches over there, it means that there is a trap nearby, so be careful! ”
Yu Xiaocao also saw the knots on the small tree at this time, and touched her nose a little sneeringly.
Zhao Han helped her out of the siege and said: "The trap here has not been destroyed, let's take a look inside." Xiaocao, if you are tired, remember to say it. ”
Yu Xiaocao agreed, followed behind Zhao Han, and walked towards the depths of the dense forest. The forest is getting deeper and deeper, and the weeds and shrubs on the ground are getting denser and denser. Fortunately, there is a path in the forest, which is not difficult to walk.
The little stone took a long branch and whipped it over the bushes that kept repelling snakes and insects, and occasionally an unknown wild bird sprang out of it.
"Wait a minute!" Zhao Han's little handsome guy may have discovered something, so he asked the sister and brother to wait in place, and disappeared into the bushes in a few clicks.
Above the mountains and forests, dense layers, branches are staggered, it is difficult for sunlight to reach the ground, occasionally leaking a little sunlight from the gaps, leaving a little spot of light in the grass and shrubs. I don't know what kind of bird flew overhead with its wings fluttering, and there was a melodious cry. The dwarf shrubs not far away, the dense branches and leaves shook a few times, and it seemed that something had happened......
"Second sister...... Are you afraid? Little Stone leaned over and took her hand, his big eyes roaming around vigilantly, his voice trembling slightly.
Yu Xiaocao deliberately teased him: "Coward! Didn't your brother Han say it? This is the outskirts of the mountains and forests, and there are not many large prey, let alone fierce beasts! Don't you talk about 'protecting my sister' all day long? Why did you coax yourself first? ”
Xiaoshi let go of his hand embarrassedly, picked a blade of grass and tore it, and whispered: "When Xiaoshi grows up, he will definitely protect the second sister - Brother Han is back!" ”
Xiaocao looked in the direction where Zhao Han had disappeared. Sure enough, after a burst of swaying branches and leaves, Zhao Han's tall figure appeared in front of him.
"Look! What is it? Zhao Han showed the things he was holding in his hands in front of the sisters and brothers.
The small stone jumped up all of a sudden, and the voice echoed in the mountain forest: "Mountain eggs! Second sister, it's a mountain egg!! Mountain eggs are fragrant, and they are a big supplement! ”
"Take it, we'll bake the eggs and eat them later!" Zhao Han smiled and put the five wild eggs into the hands of the sisters and brothers, and continued to take the lead and walk forward.
Some of the traps he set were in the thick bushes. From time to time, he left the path to check, leaving the siblings to wait where they were. After checking more than a dozen traps, more than an hour passed. But the grass is tired.
Fortunately, it did not fall short, and picked up a hare that had just died. Zhao Han also shot a fat turtledove with a bow.
"Tired, aren't you? Hungry or not? I know a good place, let's go there to roast wild things to eat! Zhao Han has been paying attention to the sister and brother.
Xiaoshi is okay, he often runs around with the children in the village, and he is in good spirits. Yu Xiaocao is far behind. It's no wonder that after recovering from a serious illness, it is already rare to be able to walk such a long mountain road.
Zhao Han knew this mountain forest well, and he took his sister and brother to clear the grass and walked around the forest for about a quarter of an hour. Yu Xiaocao suddenly felt that the eyes suddenly opened up: a beautiful valley appeared in front of him.
The branches and leaves on the mountain walls on both sides are as green as emerald, the valley seems to be draped in a green blanket, the stream gurgles around the valley like flowing emerald brocade, and even the air seems to be as clear as crystal.
"Wow! So beautiful!! What a great place to go!! Yu Xiaocao took a deep breath of fresh air and sighed intoxicatedly.
Zhao Han smiled and watched as the grass pounced on the ankle-deep grass and rolled comfortably on it. It's like a cute milk cat, coquettish.
