Chapter 002: Ye Xia Takes Action
"Sister, there is nothing to eat in the mountains, what are we going to do in the mountains?"
Xiaodou Dingjiang Xuexing is extroverted, no, he raised his little head and asked his sister while walking, and without waiting for Ye Xia to make a sound, his cute and cute voice sounded again: "Mom and Dad said that there are big tigers in the mountains, sister, big tigers can eat people, do we really have to go to the mountains?" ”
Ye Xia patiently listened to Xiaodouding say sentence by sentence, and after a while, she deliberately straightened her face: "Since the mountain is so dangerous, or you should not go, my sister will go around the mountain alone, and I may be able to find you bird eggs and pick fungus and wild mountain mushrooms for our family to eat." ”
Hearing her say this, Jiang Xuexing shook his head like a rattle: "Don't!" I have to protect my sister, my father said, a man has to protect his sister and sister, I am a man, I have to protect my sister, I can't let my sister go up the mountain alone. ”
Xiao Douding said seriously, and Ye Xia couldn't help laughing: "With your five short figures, you are still a man!" ”
Jiang Xuexing straightened his small body: "I will grow taller, I will grow as tall as my father, and I will have the same strength." Sister, you can't underestimate me, although I'm not a big man now, but I'm a little man, yes, I can protect you. ”
As he spoke, Xiao Douding nodded his head heavily.
"Okay, my sister is protected by our family's little man, but why don't you say that she looks as tall as the eldest brother and the second brother?"
Ye Xia is purely teasing his younger brother, clinker, Xiao Douding didn't even think about it, so he raised his milk voice: "The eldest brother is not as tall as his father, the second brother and the third brother are not as tall as the eldest brother, why should I look like them?" Sister, do you think I'm right? ”
Ye Xia took Xiao Douding's hand and shook it like a swing, and said with a smile: "Yes, Xiao Wu is right, we have to look as tall as our father." But, little five, you know, our eldest brother, second brother, and third brother will also grow as tall as your father, and grow into a big man like your father before you. ”
Jiang Xuexing nodded as if he didn't understand: "I know, my brothers are older than me!" ”
The sisters and brothers walked in the village, and they met acquaintances a lot, looking at the yellow and thin faces, and looking at the puffiness of individual people, Ye Xia greeted people politely one by one with the memory left by Xiao Jiangxia.
"Xia Xia, where are you going with Xiao Wu?"
The questioner was a pregnant woman with a vegetable-faced face and so thin that she could be blown down by a gust of wind.
Yes, it's a pregnant woman, and it's hard to tell that it's a pregnant woman without looking at the other party's bulging abdomen.
Ye Xia endured her sadness, smiled and called the other party "Sister-in-law Cuilian" first, and then said, "Let's go around casually, and we will go home in a while." ”
The sister-in-law of Cuilian in her mouth is a member of her family, and she is about to have five blessings.
"Oh, then I'll go home, but don't go out for too long."
Every household eats shortly, and this wandering around also consumes physical strength, and the consumption of physical strength is equivalent to the consumption of the "inventory" in the stomach, if the "inventory" is completely consumed, it is inevitable to faint from hunger and starve to death.
Touching Cuilian's sister-in-law's obviously concerned gaze, Ye Xia smiled and said "um", and took her younger brother to continue walking.
"What a good baby, I hope there won't be another good one."
Geng Cuilian looked at the backs of Ye Xia's sisters and brothers, opened her mouth, and muttered in a low voice.
Ye Xia has a good ear, naturally she heard it, knew that the other party was feeling sorry for her, and with wishes, the corners of her lips couldn't help but bend a faint arc, and she became more and more determined to help the big guy get through the current difficulties.
Jiang Xuexing's milk voice suddenly raised: "Sister, when we find something to eat on the mountain, will we give Sister-in-law Cuilian a little?" Sister-in-law Cuilian has a baby in her belly, and if Sister-in-law Cuilian has nothing to eat, the baby will be hungry. ”
Hearing this, Ye Xia responded very happily: "Okay, as long as we can find something to eat, we will give Sister-in-law Cuilian a share." ”
Two months is the due date of Cuilian's sister-in-law, which she heard from the adults at home, and she listened to her mother's emotion, saying that Cuilian's sister-in-law's child was not conceived at the right time, saying that the child was born, and it was not easy to feed it in this year.
Also, adults can't get enough to eat, let alone newborn babies who need to be breastfed.
Some people may say that without breast milk, you can give your child milk powder, no milk powder, you can also eat goat milk and milk, people with such thoughts, I am afraid that I don't know that for rural people who exchange ten centimeters for nine cents a day,
It is obviously unrealistic to buy milk powder, not to mention that buying milk powder requires milk powder tickets, where can farm children afford to eat?
As for milk and goat's milk, everything that can be eaten on the ground has gone into people's stomachs, and cattle and sheep only eat dry grass that has no taste and no moisture, and they are already very good when they are alive, so don't expect them to produce milk.
"Sister."
Jiang Xuexing's cute and cute voice floated into Ye Xia's ears, undoubtedly dragging her thoughts back: "Huh? ”
The milk voice raised again: "When I grow up, I can earn a job for the family like my brothers." ”
Ye Xia was about to speak, but Jiang Xuexing raised his milk voice again: "Work for food, if only it could rain a little in the sky." ”
Saying that, Xiao Douding was like a weathered old man, and sighed, which made Ye Xia laugh out loud: "People don't think much, but they think a lot." ”
"I don't want to, I have to work hard with my eldest brother, second brother, and third brother to save a dowry for my sister, so that my sister will not be bullied when she marries someone else's family in the future."
Xiao Douding said the truth, hearing this, Ye Xia's footsteps paused slightly, raised his other hand and tapped on his younger brother's forehead: "Who told you?" How old is your sister and me, and I'm far away from getting married. ”
Jiang Xuexing pretended to be knocked hurt by her, and said in a milky voice while rubbing his forehead: "I listened to what the eldest brother said, sister, the eldest brother will not talk nonsense, I believe in the eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother also believe in the eldest brother, and the third brother asked my father, and my father said that the eldest brother was right, and we should study hard, so that we will have great skills in the future, so that we can better protect our sister." ”
Rubbing the top of his brother's hair, Ye Xia smiled and said, "That sister also has to work hard to become powerful, so that she can protect you, her brothers, and your parents." ”
Jiang Xuexing nodded his little head heavily: "Okay, let's work together to become powerful." ”
Ye Xia clenched his fists: "Come on!" ”
Jiang Xuexing grinned, "hehe" smiled, and the appearance of the senior sister shook her little fist: "Come on, sister, come on, let's come on together!" ”
"Yes, let's do it!"
Ye Xia is the only girl in the family, since she was a child, she grew up in the love of her parents, parents and brothers to today, other people's families treat their daughters as grass, as a loss of money, either beating or scolding, three or four years old to cut pigweed to earn work,
Their family regards her daughter as a treasure in the palm of their hands, not to mention cutting pigweed, it is housework such as sweeping the floor, cooking, and brushing pots, and her parents don't let her touch it, although she does it secretly,
But as soon as he was seen by his brothers, he was immediately rushed by his brothers.
In short, no matter how hard the family is, she will not lose her daughter, it is precisely because she knows that her parents, brothers, and younger brother care for her after they are sensible, Xiao Jiangxia endured her hunger, gave half of the rice in the bowl to her family, and finally left this world by herself with hunger.
is a very pure, very kind little girl, and she has not developed a pampered, lazy and lazy temperament because of the favor of her family.
Sighing secretly, Ye Xia sincerely hoped that Xiao Jiangxia could have the opportunity to be reborn in a good era, a good family, happy, and healthy like her.
Jiang An Tianma Ma Liang organized young and middle-aged members to gather in the courtyard in front of the brigade headquarters with their guys, and when the personnel arrived, they were divided into three groups and went into the mountains to hunt from different directions.
Speaking of which, Da Lishu is a large village with more than 800 households, and every household lives in a fairly concentrated manner, and belongs to the same brigade, that is, the members of the Da Lishu Brigade.
However, for the convenience of management, the big pear tree brigade is divided into eight production teams, each team of more than 100 households, and their own production team leaders supervise production.
It can be seen that Jiang An, a village official, has a lot of power in his hands.
However, this captain has been iron-faced and selfless since he took office, and he is deeply loved by the entire team members, and even the five brothers and sisters of Lin Lan, who took Lin Lan as his wife, have excellent popularity in the village.
Of course, to be able to raise such a good son as Jiang An, the grandparents of the Jiang family are very respectful in the hearts of the clansmen and in the hearts of the villagers.
It's July, but the early morning sun is not much hot, the mountain air is fresh, looking at the deep mountains, the trees are lush and green, and the faint white mist lingers in it, like a splash of ink.
"Sister, look, the second brother is grazing cattle there, do we want to go over and talk to the second brother?"
Halfway up the hill, Jiang Xuexing pointed to the left front, about 100 meters away, holding a book and reading a small figure, and a milk voice overflowed from his mouth: "Third brother likes to read the most." ”
After a pause, Xiao Douding said again: "The eldest brother and the second brother also like to read, but they can't read when they go to work, sister, my father and mother said that I will send you to school when the school starts on September 1st, and I want to go too, but my father said that I am still young and have to wait until next year." ”
"I can study at home."
Xiao Jiangxia followed her brothers to read and learn arithmetic, and she was already able to read the third-grade textbook, and now she wanted her to study in the first grade, no, even if she was allowed to study in the graduating class of primary school, or directly in high school, it would be a headache for her.
In her previous life, she lived to be one hundred and twenty-one years old, and she lived to learn all the time, and all aspects of knowledge were involved, and now she ...... Forget it, don't think about it, she still fits into the environment, is a little smart little girl, and enjoys her childhood.
Jiang Xuexing blinked his big black eyes and thought about it, and nodded his little head: "Well, my mother said so." ”
Looking at the direction where the nickname San'er and the big name Jiang Xueshen were standing, Ye Xia said to his younger brother: "Let's not disturb the third brother reading, let's go, let's go forward and walk again, and when we come back in a while, call the third brother to go home together." ”
Jiang Xuexing had no opinion, and walked slowly forward with his little short legs and being held by his sister.
More than fifty minutes later.
"Little Wu, you squat here and don't make a sound, my sister will catch that pheasant for us."
Holding his younger brother's shoulders, the sister and brother squatted in a bush, Ye Xia stretched out his index finger, pressed his lips and gently "shh
After that, you just wait to eat the meat. ”
She hadn't forgotten that Xiao Douding was shouting to eat meat in her dreams at night.
Jiang Xuexing was very well-behaved, squatting beside his sister, with a small face, and nodded his little head solemnly.
Ye Xia sister and brother did see a pheasant, but when they looked at it, the pheasant was so thin that they didn't have much meat, thinking that there were small wild things such as pheasants and hares that she threw into the space in her previous life.
After many years of breeding, there are many wild things in the space, but they are all kept in captivity in a forest by Ye Xia.
If you want to talk about Ye Xia's space, there is no difference between it and the small world now, plus the materials that Ye Xia stored inside, it is not an exaggeration to say that there is anything you want.
After arranging her younger brother, Ye Xia approached the pheasant lightly, only to see that her delicate and small facial features were full of seriousness, and a pair of big black glass-like eyes looked smart. Pinching the gravel at her fingertips, she only heard a soft "whoosh" sound, and the pheasant that was locked by her gaze immediately fell to the ground and fluttered.
broke one of someone's legs, and it hurts so much that it's no wonder.
Ye Xia didn't rush to pick up the pheasant, but released nearly a hundred pheasants, hares and stupid roe deer from the space, thinking that if the hunting team in the village was lucky, they might be able to catch the wild things she released.
And she herself "swished...... several times, and caught three pheasants and three hares with stones.
After tying the pheasants and hare together with rattan, Ye Xia was about to get up, and inadvertently saw that there seemed to be a thirty or forty centimeter gap behind the withered vines that were hanging not far away, and if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it at all.
"Little Five."
Calling his younger brother, hearing Xiao Douding's response, Ye Xia raised his voice slightly: "Come here, my sister hit four pheasants and three hares." ”
Jiang Xuexing walked towards his sister with his little short legs, and when he heard this, his footsteps paused, and soon, the little guy grinned and ran to his sister with a smile: "Really?" Really? Sister, did you really have to hit four pheasants and three hares? ”
Ye Xia's immature voice was full of smiles: "Of course it's true!" ”
As she spoke, she picked up a string of prey in her hand and shook it as her brother ran over.
Who knew that Xiao Douding stood still in front of her, stared at her hand for a long time and asked blankly: "Sister, you can carry it with one hand?!" ”
Ye Xia blinked her eyes, her face was not red and her heart was not beating, and she said, "Sister has great strength, don't you know?" ”
Jiang Xuexing shook his head, with doubts in his milk voice: "I don't know, my sister didn't say it." ”
Ye Xia tilted his head and pretended to think about it, and Fang turned his gaze back to Xiao Douding: "I don't seem to have said it." ”
Stretching out her other hand, she took her younger brother and approached the vines hanging from the cliff not far away: "Let's go, go there with my sister and have a look." ”
Jiang Xuexing was puzzled: "What are you going to see?" ”
Ye Xia didn't hide it from the little guy: "My sister found a gap behind the vine, maybe there is a cave behind the gap." ”
Little Douding couldn't understand, what if there was a cave behind the gap?
I don't understand, I don't understand, Jiang Xuexing closed his mouth and didn't speak, but he was obediently led forward by his sister.
"Little Five, look at the inside of the gap, it's pitch black, and there's a big cave inside,"
Standing in front of the falling vines, Ye Xia let go of his younger brother's hand, put the wild things on the ground, opened the vines and looked at them, and basically concluded in his heart that there was something else behind the gap.
Because next to these thirty or forty centimeters, there is not a complete cliff, but a large hole is sealed with stones. And this exposed gap of thirty or forty centimeters should have been exposed by wild boars or other wild objects hitting through the stones.
Going up the mountain has a purpose, based on this, Ye Xia took his younger brother to pick a mountain path with complex terrain, dense vegetation, and not particularly obvious paths.
The grass is like a net, hiding a faintly visible path leading to the entrance of the cave.
The path is winding, and there are no traces of treading, and Ye Xia said in his heart that no one should come here.
The location is secluded, with dense trees and dense vines, making it difficult for those standing on high to discover the mysteries of this place.
Staring at the stone steps about three or four meters long at the entrance of the cave, Ye Xia said to his younger brother: "Little Wu, you wait outside, and my sister will go inside to take a look." ”
Jiang Xuexing shook his head: "I have to follow my sister." ”
Pursing his lips, Ye Xia thought for a moment, picked up the wild object at Xiao Douding's feet and put it in a proper position, and said, "Then you will wait for my sister on the steps at the entrance of the cave." ”
Jiang Xuexing said "um" at this time.
Taking his brother's hand into the cave, and going down three or four steps, Ye Xia let go of his brother's hand: "You just wait here, and my sister will go over and take a look at the depths." ”
The cave was dimly lit, but not blind.
"Then be careful."
Jiang Xuexing told his sister uneasily. Ye Xia walked down the steps, turned around, and looked at his younger brother with a smile: "Don't worry, my sister will be very careful." ”
The more she walked in, the more Ye Xia felt that this cave had a cave, as far as she estimated, the cave was fifty meters high, at least eighty meters wide, and the length was ...... What did she see?
Cannonballs, there are no less than thirty shells piled up on the left side of the pen, and there are many boxes piled up next to the shells, approach carefully, Ye Xia opened the nearby box, and what he saw was a box full of ammunition, and more than fifty boxes were all the same.
Walking further back, there was a laboratory of about forty square meters, and the reason why Ye Xia concluded that it was a laboratory was only because he saw the experimental rack and a few empty test tubes.
There are two doors in the laboratory, Ye Xia walked out of the other door, and saw a space about seventy meters long, since she walked into the laboratory, she took out a flashlight from the space, and similarly, she found that there were many boxy boxes piled up in the corner, as well as more than ten sacks, flour bags, and rice bags.
opened a box casually, which contained tin cans, and then opened a sack, and with the light of the flashlight, Ye Xia saw moldy wheat.
After covering the box and tying the mouth of the sack, seeing that there was no more to spare, Ye Xia instantly moved out a lot of the food in the sack in the space through his thoughts.
Naturally, there is no marking on the sack.
Of course, hundreds of bags of rice noodles were also moved out by Ye Xia.
Like sacks containing grain, the bags do not bear any markings, or to be exact, not a word.
There is a laboratory in a large cave, which shows that there were invaders in this area.
Tin cans, moldy grain, and spoiled rice and noodles are easy to explain, left behind by the invaders.
As for good rice and grain, it is better explained that the enemy hiding in the shadows discovered such a place, so they turned the cave into a garrison after the invaders, and it was necessary to store food.
Ye Xia thought so, she didn't care whether the adults believed it or not, anyway, she was a seven-year-old child, she only said that she took her younger brother to look for food in the mountains, and she walked here unintentionally, and accidentally found the cave, and went into the cave to take a look at it out of curiosity, and then went to look for adults, and she wouldn't say a word about the extra words, so as not to say too many loopholes.
And what she thought a moment ago, adults should be able to think for her.
Returning to the entrance of the cave the same way, seeing Xiao Douding obediently waiting for her in the same place, Ye Xia took out more than a dozen pineapple-flavored strawberries from the space, and put the cleanly washed milky white flesh strawberries into his pocket.
"Xiao Wu is in a hurry, right?"
Walking up to her brother, she asked.
Xiao Douding is an honest child, and nodded his little head heavily: "I'm worried about my sister." ”
"Let's go."
Ye Xia took her brother's hand and climbed the steps one by one, and when the two of them came out of the cave, she returned the vines that had been set aside to the side, bent down and said to her brother, "Sister wants to tell you two secrets, do you want to hear them?" ”
Jiang Xuexing replied to her with a milky voice: "I want to!" ”
Ye Xia lowered her voice: "Sister forgot to give you this just now, you see." ”
took out a strawberry and brought it to her brother's mouth, she smiled and said, "It tastes sweet, you eat it quickly, this is what my sister found when she caught pheasants and hares before." ”
Jiang Xuexing swallowed his saliva, but he didn't immediately open his mouth to eat, he asked, "Sister, this is called strawberry?" ”
Ye Xia smiled: "Yes, this is called strawberry." My sister picked everything she saw, and now there is no one there, Xiao Wu, you eat quickly, let's go back after eating. ”
Jiang Xuexing shook his head without thinking about it, and then the voice of the milk cute sounded: "Take it home and let's eat it together as a family." ”
Stunned, the smile in Ye Xia's eyes almost overflowed: "Okay." ”
What a sensible little guy.
At this time, Jiang Xuexing, a little clever, said again: "Send a few to my grandparents to try too." ”
Ye Xia pinched his thin face: "Listen to you." ”
Don't forget to advise: "Remember, this secret must not be told." ”
"Can't you tell Mom and Dad?"
"You don't have to care, my sister will tell your parents, you are only responsible for eating obediently, especially remember that when you go outside to play with your friends, you can't mention that you have eaten strawberries."
"Well, I'm not going to tell anyone."
Jiang Xuexing covered his mouth and whispered.
Ye Xia rubbed his younger brother's head: "That's good." Next, my sister will tell you the second secret. ”
Jiang Xuexing looked at her straight and listened to her very carefully: "Sister saw a lot of things in that cave just now, let's hurry down the mountain and tell the adults this secret." ”
Jiang Xuexing blinked his big ignorant eyes: "What is it?" ”
Ye Xia whispered: "It seems to be food, let's go, let's go find an adult." ”
"Grain?"
Although Jiang Xuexing is young, he also knows how important food is, seeing Ye Xia nodding, Xiao Douding's eyes instantly brightened with joy like bright stars: "Sister, let's go, let's go down the mountain quickly and tell Dad here." ”
Picking up the wild things tied in strings on the ground, Ye Xia took his younger brother's hand, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he said with a smile: "Let's go!" ”
……
"Third brother! Third brother! ”
Halfway down the hill and seeing Jiang Xueshen from a distance, Ye Xia followed her younger brother and shouted at the third brother, but after shouting, she realized it later, and the corners of her mouth twitched several times one after another, what was she doing?
Regardless of the image, she really looked like a seven or eight-year-old girl, calling her brother to a nine-year-old boy.
However, it doesn't feel like it's okay to shout, after all, she is indeed seven years old now, and she is indeed a little Lori, and there are indeed three little brothers on it.
Except for Jiang Xueshen and a cow on this half-hillside, there is no one else.
Hearing the voices of his sister and younger brother who couldn't hide their excitement, Jiang Xueshen turned his head, put the book in his hand into his schoolbag, and waved at the two with a smile, and when he saw the wild thing that Ye Xia was carrying in his hand, the hand that was waving couldn't help but stay in the air: "Xia Xia, you ...... What are you holding in your hand? ”
His eyes were wide open, and he could clearly see what his sister was carrying, but he couldn't believe his eyes, afraid that he was dazzled and hallucinating.
"Pheasants and hares, I shot them."
The sisters and brothers walked up to Jiang Xueshen, and Ye Xia said with a smile: "Third brother, I don't believe you ask Xiao Wu, these four pheasants and three hares were all caught by me with broken legs with stones." ”
Jiang Xueshen glanced around, didn't care about speaking, first stuffed the string of wild things in Ye Xia's hand into the back basket on the side, and then spread a thick layer of weeds on it, and after camouflaging the back basket, Fang asked Ye Xia: "You really hit it with stones?" ”
Before Ye Xia could speak, Jiang Xuexing raised his milk voice: "Third brother and third brother, I was in front of my sister when I was fighting pheasants and hares, my sister is so powerful, she has a lot of strength, she doesn't need my help, she can bring these pheasants and hares down from the mountain alone." ”
Jiang Xueshen was a little unconvinced, and after looking at him for a while, Ye Xia bent down and picked up a stone the size of a thumbnail: "Third brother, look at that sparrow." ”
As she spoke, she aimed at the grass about ten meters away, and then "whoosh", throwing out the stones on her fingertips as if she was drifting in the water, and the next moment, the sparrow that had been foraging in the grass was lying in the grass.
"Third brother and third brother, look, the sparrow is dead."
Jiang Xuexing jumped over to pick up the sparrow, and raised his hand to show his brother.
Jiang Xueshen stretched out his thumb to Ye Xia: "You really have an accurate head, you can hit it more accurately than me with a slingshot, why didn't I know you had this ability before?" ”
Ye Xia snorted deliberately and said, "Mom said that girls should be quiet, how dare I throw stones in front of you to play." ”
Not wanting to talk about this topic further, Ye Xia asked, "Third brother, haven't they come down from the mountain yet?" ”
"If you can't hit the wild animals, it's estimated that you can come back at noon, and if you can hit them, at least half the afternoon."
Jiang Xueshen glanced at the mountain, and said with a little worry: "When my father left the house in the morning, he said that he would take people inside. ”
When Jiang Xuexing heard this, he pulled his sister's sleeve, Ye Xia lowered his eyes to look at him, shook his head lightly, and said to Jiang Xueshen: "Xiao Wu and I are here to accompany you to herd cattle, and wait for us to go down the mountain and go home together." ”
"The sun will be very hot for a while, you take Xiao Wu home to rest, the third brother doesn't need you to accompany him, as for our father, there are a lot of people who go into the mountains, and nothing will happen."
My sister almost had an accident before, and now she is empty, if her parents and eldest brother and second brother know that her sister stayed here to accompany him in the sun and herd cattle, she will have to beat him when she turns around.
"Then I'll carry the basket back and make the meal in advance."
