Nan Huaijin, who got the sugar gourd, didn't know that the little fox and the man he met just now were not human. In his eyes, there are only delicious sugar gourds, and they are two strings.

Walking out of East Street, turn into a narrow alley, there is a slightly dilapidated house in the deepest part of the alley, which is the comfort nest of Xiao Huaijin and his grandfather.

Going back hundreds of years, the Nanjia family is also a large family with strong wealth and talents in Laifu Town. It's easy to start a business, but it's hard to keep a business. With the passage of time, the original big family gradually declined, and in his grandfather's generation, it was even more declining, and there was only one line. However, Xiao Huaijin's father died on the battlefield, and Nan Huaijin was left alone.

Squeak

There was a slight sound at the door, and Xiao Huaijin cautiously walked into the door. Originally, I planned to sneak back to my room first, and after solving the two strings of sugar gourds, I would come out to see my grandfather. only to find that his grandfather was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, which made him very embarrassed. I lowered my head a little deeper because I was cautious.

"Didn't you stop eating sweets recently, why did you buy sugar gourds again. Nanyutang looked at his grandson who looked like a goose in front of him and said jokingly.

"I can't help it. Xiao Huaijin raised his head and secretly glanced at his grandfather, and found that he had a smile on his face, and his tone couldn't help but be a little more relaxed.

"Don't have a next time, otherwise the family law will be a lesson. The old man said solemnly.

"Grandpa, don't worry, there will definitely be no next time. Xiao Huaijin thought that he had escaped this time, and his relaxed mood instantly became heavy when he heard this sentence.

As a family that has been around for hundreds of years, even if it has declined, there are still rules. And the so-called family law is naturally a hand-beating board for Xiao Huaijin.

Xiao Huaijin is full of fear of family law.

When he was younger, he was no less powerful than the board because he was mischievous all day long. When you hear the handboard, it's like a mouse meets a cat.

"By the way, grandpa, the caravan is coming. Xiao Huaijin said flatteringly.

When Nanyutang heard this, he couldn't help but be happy. When the caravan came, the wood carvings he had saved for months could be sold.

"There have been a lot of people lately, so don't go out. Nanyutang admonished.

"Knowing grandpa, don't worry, I will never go out and walk around. Xiao Huaijin responded with a smile and slipped back to his room.

He also has an important task, two strings of sweet and large sugar gourds waiting for him to destroy.

Nanyutang watched his young grandson return to the room, and couldn't help but let out a slight sigh in his heart.

"If only the mountains were still there, this child wouldn't have to suffer with me. The old man muttered.

The mountain is naturally Xiao Huaijin's father's southbound mountain.

The fragrance of spring flowers wafts in the air, birds chirp on the eaves, and everything reveals the beauty of spring. But in the old man, there is no vitality to be seen, only the taste of twilight.

The old man sitting on the stone chair was wearing a brown shirt, and his silver hair was meticulously tied into a bunch, hanging down behind his back in a regular manner. It seems that everything is fine, but in fact, Nanyutang knows in his heart that he will not live for ten years.

Cough lightly, this is the root of the disease left by joining the army when he was young. When I was young, I didn't feel anything, but when I was old, I felt more and more difficult.

experienced the pain of losing a child again, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man. Nanyutang felt that his body was getting worse and worse as time passed.

The old man thought in his heart, "It seems that it's time to teach Huai Jin some skills to settle down." When he leaves one day, he can live well. ”

Despite being an old man now, Nanyudo was also a well-known hunter in the entire town when he was younger, and was able to hunt the most ferocious beasts in the mountains on his own.

Time flies.

The warm sun set on the mountain, and the moon crept up the branches, sprinkling the cold moonlight.

Xiao Huaijin and her grandfather sat at the table and ate dinner quietly.

Dinner was simple, just a dish and a bowl of bacon. Xiao Huaijin ate very happily. Little children, always so easy to satisfy.

After Xiao Huaijin was full, Nanyutang, who had finished eating early, knocked on the table with his hand, signaling that he had something to say.

Xiao Huaijin saw that his grandfather had something to say, and couldn't help but straighten his little body. At the same time, he looked at his grandfather with a puzzled look.

"Starting tomorrow, Huai Jin, you will start to go into the mountains with your grandfather to learn to hunt. Nanyutang solemnly said to the little grandson in front of him.

"Really, it's so good!" Xiao Huaijin responded excitedly when she heard her grandfather say this.

Since she was very young, Xiao Huaijin has been listening to her grandfather tell interesting stories in the mountains. Fierce beasts, sweet spring water, delicious wild fruits, his heart has always been full of yearning for all this.

But he never been, and since he was a child, he never left the town for a single step. Usually playing with friends, it's just playing around the whole town.

"It's not early, go back to your room early, and get up early tomorrow morning." Nanyutang looked at his grandson with an excited face and reminded.

"I know grandpa, see you tomorrow, grandpa, you also rest early. Xiao Huaijin responded to his grandfather and happily ran back to his room.

took off her clothes and lay down on her bed, Xiao Huaijin looked excited, without the slightest sleep.

"I can enter the mountain tomorrow, if I let Xiaopang know, I don't know how much he will envy me. Xiao Huaijin thought excitedly.

Xiaopang is Xiao Huaijin's best playmate.

Chubby's family runs an inn, so he eats for nothing. I usually bring delicious food to share with Xiao Huaijin.

"Tomorrow I must catch a rabbit by myself and roast it to eat, I heard Xiaopang say that the roast rabbit is particularly fragrant. Also bake bird eggs and eat delicious wild fruits. By the way, I also want to taste whether the spring water in the mountains is really as sweet as my grandfather said. ”

Xiao Huaijin looked at the bright moon outside the window and thought about her plans for tomorrow.

When you are young, a little happiness can be happy all day. Xiao Huaijin thought about it, and fell asleep after a while.

Squeak

The door quietly opened, and Nanyutang gently walked into the room.

Looking at his sleeping grandson, Nanyutang tucked the quilt with a loving face.

After sitting for a while, Nanyutang walked out of the room and closed the door gently.
