Chapter 035: Discovering the Golden Mountain (4000 Words)

The mother filled in the ground with earth, and the father jumped on a dirt slope to continue weaving his shelves.

At this time, the third son and the man sister had already gone to the river to wash the vegetables and meat and take them back, and brought a few bamboo tubes full of water, and the third son also carried a back pot on his back, which was full of water.

The sun was just a short distance away, and there were at least two hours left before it got dark, and there was still time.

If you cook now, it is estimated that everyone will be hungry again before it gets dark, so Manmei decided to wait for the house to be repaired, so she put all the prepared things on the grass and ran over to help her father, while the third son ran over to help the eldest son and the second son carry wood.

When making a house, my father decided that he needed to make the house stronger tonight, and he couldn't rely entirely on the stone ridge, so he chose a small nest with mounds on both sides of the place cleared by his mother, so that not only the stone ridge could be used as a wall, but also the mounds on both sides could be used as a wall.

My father used an axe to drive a few wooden stakes next to the mound, and then he put some stones behind the stakes.

At the same time, in order to prevent the mound of earth and stones from crushing the stakes, the cow cable rattan is tied to the top of the wooden stake, and the other end of the cow cable rattan is pressed under the pile of stones and mud in the distance.

Once you have two walls, it's much easier to cover the ceiling above.

On the ground, use two pieces of wood with a stick to make a top beam, then put a piece of wood on the stick, then put the rest of the wood diagonally on the beam, and the other end stands on the ground to make a rafter, and finally put grass on the rafter layer by layer.

After making the tops on both sides, it's time to make the tops waterproof.

I saw my father divide the straw into two and ride directly on the grass on both sides, so that if it rains, the rain from top to bottom will flow down the grass and will not leak into the house.

A ride on the top. The shed immediately dimmed, and Man Mei and her mother hurriedly went in to light the fire, it was time to cook.

The third son used a hoe to dig the slope of the earth under the water on both sides of the water a little steeper, so that the water could flow more smoothly.

My father stood in front of the house, grinning with joy as he watched everyone work all afternoon.

After looking at it for a while. So the third son went to the side to pick up stones, and he wanted to find a stone suitable for the door.

The father watched for a while, feeling that he still needed to add something, and when the eldest son and the second son came back, they reminded the father that it was best to press some more wood on the grass, looking at the red and bright sunset on the horizon, it was estimated that the rain at night would not be small.

The mother and the full sister were cooking in the house, and the second son was picking firewood on the side, and he wanted to pick the firewood into small sections. In this way, it is more convenient to burn at night, and it does not take up space when it is placed.

The father, the eldest son, and the third son searched everywhere in the ancient city for a stone that could be used as a door, and when they found it, they tied it with a cow cable and rattan, and carried it back with a wood, and when it was not too big, they carried it back directly on their shoulders.

When it was almost dark, dinner was ready, and today's dinner was fir mushroom soup, sloth meat, and grilled river mussels. Everyone ate with their mouths full of oil, shouting that they were happy. I feel like I've never eaten such a delicious meal. After the meal, when everyone was about to rest for a while, the eldest son suddenly took out a handful of logs from his clothes pocket, and it lit up in everyone's eyes. was so anxious that her mother hurriedly said that she was still such a mischievous person, and everyone couldn't stop laughing.

After everyone had finished eating the logs, the second son slowly picked up a pear from his pocket, and when his mother saw it, she smiled and said, "You guys." If there's anything else, let's take it all out together.

Look at the full sister. The eldest son and the second son said that there was really no more, these were all things they met when they were chopping wood, and they wanted to surprise everyone. When everyone was laughing and playing, the third son didn't dare to be careless at all, he listened carefully to the surrounding situation, even a little wind was very important, and a few dogs and little wolves were also listening carefully, for fear of missing something.

The children are not as nervous as before when they go out this time, and they all feel relaxed, which is good, I don't know what difficulties I will encounter in the future, so I will be happy for a while.

It would be just dark, and only the third and second sons were standing guard, and everyone else was still packing up their dinner.

The father told everyone about the gold that the mother had found in the afternoon, and asked the children what they could do. Everyone knows that when I was a child, there was an old woman in the village who wore a ring made of gold on her hand, and I remember that the old lady also passed down something made of gold, at that time, everyone just felt that the color of Huang Cancan was good-looking, and it felt useless, and it was not convenient to wear it on the hands and feet to work.

But my father knew that it was a good thing, and I heard the old people say that wearing the old man can sleep soundly, and the child is not easy to get sick.

When you go back, you can take a little back to the children, but now it feels useless, just like my mother said that I can make a pot or a bowl or something, and there are no tools, and it is not convenient to carry it along the heavy road, which is much heavier than iron bowls, pottery bowls and wooden bowls.

Discuss and discuss, and in the end, everyone decided to cut out a little with an axe, and beat the back of the axe to make a hand circle for the mother and the full sister, the mother has not slept well recently, even when she is at home, she often wakes up in the middle of the night, and the full sister likes the yellow, orange and orange color, which is better than the shells worn by those girls, and it is stronger.

When the children said this, the father let them do it, just smiling and watching them talk and laugh.

In the first half of the night, everyone joked like this, and when I felt a little sleepy, my father hurriedly arranged for everyone to stand guard, and he and his eldest son, second son, and full sister stood on the first shift, and the mother and third son rested first.

As soon as the third son lay down, he felt as if he had been touched by something on his back, and he didn't care about it at the time, but after sleeping for a while, he felt that the place was a little faintly painful and itchy, and then it became more and more painful and itchy, so he asked his father to lift his clothes and see what was going on.

If you don't look at it, it really startles my father when I see it, and there is a red thing the size of a fist bun on the back of the third son.

He screamed in shock, and now the mother and children also woke up, and when everyone turned their faces to look, they didn't know what was going on, let alone what the red envelope was.

The eldest son immediately added a handful of firewood to the fire, and the second son lit two more fir manuscripts to brighten up the house. Full sister takes all the dogs and small

Subsequently, the eldest son and the second son each held a steel drill and a killing knife in their hands, ready to deal with the dangerous things around them.

After everyone looked around, except for a few of them, dogs, and little wolves, there was no other activity in the house, and they also looked at the dark corners with lights. There is nothing suspicious except mud and sand.

Father and mother couldn't tell what was going on.

The father turned the third son's body and made him lie flat on the bed, and the mother knelt beside him, carefully took out a needle from a cloth bag, put it on the fire and burned red, and then picked the pus-filled bag on the third son's back.

Man Mei was so anxious that tears fell, and she muttered what to do. Just when everyone was flustered, the bag seemed to have grown a lot and became more translucent. It's like a thin piece of paper, and the contents of the bag are about to burst that layer of skin.

When my mother was preparing the needle, my father had already grabbed a handful of herbs to stop bleeding from a medicine bag, put it in his mouth and chewed it, as long as my mother broke the bag, he was ready to stick the hemostatic medicine to the wound at any time, and if the medicine did not work, he also took a hairy candle in his hand. It's also a good thing to stop bleeding from big wounds.

The mother asked the full sister to bring the manuscript closer, so that it could look more clearly. Mother was about to get a needle. The father's shout made the mother's heart tremble, and the hand holding the needle stayed in mid-air, turned around and looked at the father in a daze, not knowing what was wrong with him.

My father said that when he was a child, he heard an old lady talk about a kind of locust in the mountains that liked to burrow into people's skin. When drilling, it is very fast, and after drilling in, the whole skin will quickly become itchy and painful, and the old people say that you must not pick the skin with a needle, so that the whole place will rot. My father said that I wanted to use one thing. Just suck that locust out.

Mother hurriedly asked what it was. Father said that it was the thing you were wearing, and Mother realized that this gold bracelet still had this effect.

The mother quickly took off the hand loop and handed it to the father, who put the hand loop directly on the red bag and slowly squeezed it down, he asked his mother to fix the hand loop on the halfway up the pus, and he himself held the lower part of the pusle with both hands, tried to squeeze it up, and finally put the whole pusbag into the hand band, and the hand band was also put inside.

Strange to say, after putting on the hand band, although the pustule does not become smaller, it no longer grows larger, but the color slowly turns from white to red, and then from red to purple.

The third son obviously felt that something was rushing everywhere in the flesh on his back, and the pain made him grin his teeth, and he bit a wooden stick handed over by the eldest son with his teeth, so that he did not make a sound of crying out in pain.

After a while, my father took the manuscript from Manmei's hand, approached the pus, and even inadvertently let a few drops of hot oil drip directly on it.

The father was about to remove the fire from the back of his third son, when he heard a "pop", and something burst out of the pus, fell into the burning firewood, bounced a few pieces of white ash and disappeared into the red charcoal fire, and then a stream of pus and blood spewed out of the pus.

The mother's hands clenched the bracelets, and the father continued to squeeze hard, and more blood flowed out, until slowly the whole pustule deflated, and a crumpled piece of skin hung on his back.

My father said that I should leave it alone, and it would grow well in a short time.

Put the third son down and lie down, at this time his back is not too painful.

The father asked Manmei to look at the third son carefully, and he and his mother each took a manuscript fire in their hands, and approached the ground, on the cover, on the things, and on the firewood, and looked carefully one by one to see if there were any harmful things such as locusts.

Next to the wet pyre, they found another locust curled up together, and the father did not hesitate to press the red-hot steel drill on its body, only to see a burst of green smoke drifting by, and the grasshopper that had been harming people just now suddenly turned into a pile of black ash.

After catching them all night, they found seven or eight locusts, and they basically didn't sleep that night, and they did all this thing.

By the time dawn, the skin on the third son's back was almost as good as it was, not painful, not itchy, or uncomfortable, except for a small stick-sized black spot, with a shriveled hole in the middle.

After being busy until now, everyone finally fell down and lay down, and they wanted to take the time to rest for a while before dawn.

Mother got up gently and woke up Man Mei, they were cooking breakfast together, and when they were cooking, Man Mei also looked at the gold hoop on her wrist and felt that this thing was really useful.

While cooking, the mother had half of the dogs and wolf cubs on guard outside the hut, while the rest stayed with them in the shed.

Half an hour later, breakfast was ready, and the mother and the sister took turns to eat first, and then let all the dogs and the little wolf take turns to eat, and then began to call the father to eat, and when the father finished eating, he called the eldest son, the second son, and the third son one by one.

While they were eating, the mother and the full sister hurried to pack up their things, knowing that they were going out today, and no one could say what it was like in front of them, so it was better to leave early.

After two bags of cigarettes, my father and they had already taken turns to eat, and my mother had already packed up their things, and everyone set off with a shout, and they were going to walk to the mouth of the Sancha River upstream today to see what it looked like on it.

After walking for an hour, the sun lazily climbed up a hill. Today they were not walking fast, and as they went, they kept an eye out for the surrounding ravines, the grass and trees, and the occasional rabbit and rat running by the roadside.

At noon, they came to the mouth of the Sancha River, and saw that there were three ditches in front of them, which went in different directions, one on the left, one in the middle, and one on the right, and each ditch looked similar, and the trees and mud and rocks in the ravine were also similar.

Standing at the mouth of the river, where to go, you have your thoughts, he has his opinions, anyway, it is a person's idea, which stumped my father.

The mother kept silent, listening to the children, she didn't think which of the first three ditches was good, but that there was a problem with any of them, but she couldn't say what the problem was.

My father thought for a moment and said that they would either go to the ditch on the left, which by the shape of the hill should be closest to the place where they had been last time, where they had started the fire.

said that it was going forward, but now it was almost time to arrange a sleepover in a hurry, and everyone stopped arguing and thought about finding a place nearby to spend the night.

My father also knew that at this time, everyone had to find a place quickly, otherwise the sun would go down and it would be troublesome. (To be continued.) )
