Chapter 046: Uncle Cousin's Family
The eldest son looked at his cousin who was shivering with cold, and took out two cotton clothes from his bag, one for his cousin to put on, and one for his mother to wear, so that she could wear it too, don't be cold.
Because there were many people, dogs and wolves, everyone couldn't stay in the cave, so the uncle-in-law and uncle-in-law took everyone out of the cave, so that the dogs and wolves also came out to guard.
At this time, the sky had slowly darkened, and the sky in the mountains was getting darker faster, and in less than a bag of cigarettes, all the inside of the mountain bay was no longer visible.
My father saw that this would not work, so he asked my uncle-in-law to find some dry wood outside and put it into the cave, and let my cousins make a fire to warm it up.
And my father and they all stayed outside the cave, and they made a fire to the fire, and they waited here tonight for their cousin and them to come back.
When I arrived in a new place, and it was so chaotic now, my father arranged for everyone not to sleep, and all of them sat on guard against the fire, and all the dogs and little wolves arranged for half to rest and half to stand guard, and they had worked too hard all the way.
In the middle of the night, my father heard a dog beside him snort softly, so he got up with a grunt, picked up the killing knife beside him, and looked around.
When the eldest son saw his father like this, he also drew the red-hot steel drill from the fire, and looked around vigilantly.
Everyone else was quick to copy the guy and prepare for a fight.
After everyone stood up, the dog did not hum again, everyone thought that the dog was mistaken, but the father believed that the dog would not be mistaken, such a bark is often the dog in the encounter is closer and more urgent and can not figure out whether the other party is in danger of the alarm only sounded, the purpose of the dog barking is also worried about frightening the other party.
The father turned to look at the eight people around him, and then at the one or twenty dogs and wolves, thinking to himself that it was so late in the bay. Even if the enemy comes, he will definitely be able to do it, and if it is an animal, it will be even better, and he is worried about not having food.
Thinking of this, he made the dog and the little wolf scream loudly.
However, after calling for a while. There was no other sound or echo in the bay! Father felt that something was wrong, there must be someone or an animal approaching, otherwise the dog would not be like this.
"Maybe my cousin is back. The eldest son said.
As soon as the father thought about it, he asked the second son to shout a few times—his voice was loud. Sure enough, after shouting, Uncle Tang's old and deep voice came from the Tiankan above the mountain bay: "It's me, fine boy, why are you here!"
As soon as he heard the voice of his cousin, his father hurriedly asked his eldest son to click on the manuscript. Go pick up my cousin and come back.
The eldest son walked down with them, in addition to his cousin, two cousins, and a few people he didn't know.
After listening to my cousin, my father realized that this was another group of old ladies he had brought in, and that there was a cousin and their son-in-law, who had come to the door, that is, the aunt, and several of their children, two cousins and a cousin.
Uncle Cousin had seen Cousin Niangniang before when he was rushing to the market. I also went to their house to eat, so I knew it. That is the reason why the cousin thought of coming here when she encountered difficulties.
Ten more people at once!
Sure enough, the old lady has a spirit in the sky, and she gave them a dream and asked them to save people.
I am so happy that I have found the two members of the old lady! My father and uncle have never been so happy since they entered the mountain.
Uncle Cousin was also happy to see so many people in his father, and he couldn't imagine that the old lady still had this arrangement in the Spirit of Heaven.
I thought that from now on, I would be able to leave this place of suffering. Uncle Cousin cried with joy, tears were not adults.
My father patted my cousin on the shoulder and said, "It's good for us all to be together in the future!"
Uncle Cousin let all the women live in the cave, and all the men spent the night outside the cave. Uncle Cousin took out all the food and beckoned everyone to eat. It's all vegetable dumplings, and there's just a handful of wild vegetables.
When the father saw this, he asked the eldest son to bring out all the food they had brought with him, so that everyone could eat and rest, and then they went to sleep and rest.
Looking at the somewhat thin cousin, the eldest son took out a big coat and spread it next to the fire, and took out a cotton coat for the cousin to put on, and then slept and rested on the big coat first.
After resting for a while, my cousin got up, and he wanted to replace his father to stand guard, but my father did not insist and went to sleep.
In this way, everyone took turns to stand guard and rest, and the night passed quickly. It's just that in the middle of the night, a few cats came into the mountain bay, and the dogs smelled the smell, and they chased after each other, and they all caught them, and they became everyone's supper.
When it was almost dawn, everyone had almost rested, and my father discussed with my cousin that it would be better for them to go into the mountain with them.
Uncle Cousin was about to go into the mountains to find his father, how could he not want to, so he said right now that he would set off at dawn.
Then the father told them about the dream of the old lady, and asked about the old lady's grave.
Uncle Cousin said that a few days ago, the gang of robbers came again, and they didn't grab anything, so they set fire to the family's straw pile, and they didn't expect that the wind was strong at night, and they blew the fire up the mountain, only to the edge of the ancestral mountain, which is the cemetery where the surname is concentrated.
Everyone counted the time, and it happened to be the day when my father and uncle dreamed.
Afterwards, my father arranged for everyone to get up to make breakfast and clean up their things.
The sky was bright, and my father took everyone to the way back into the mountain.
Before leaving, my father, uncle, and uncle went to the graveyard of the old lady, grandfather, and mother-in-law, cleaned up the small trees and weeds on the grave, and cleaned them, and then sprinkled a handful of rice in front of the grave, chatted about sacrifices, kowtowed a few times, and told the old people to rest assured that now the family is gathered together again, where it is very safe, there is food and shelter, like a new home.
When we passed through the courtyard, my father told everyone to go in and see if there were any suitable tools, and to take all that could be taken away, and at the same time to bring one of the uncle's ladders with him, so that it would be easier to pass through the deep pit. Thinking that they would get back to the castle as soon as possible, as there was still a shelf waiting for them to return, my father decided to return the way he came.
After entering the cave from the dry well, this time they walked in the direction of right, left, right, and left, and walked very fast. However, when we reached the last fork in the road, the person who led the way remembered wrong, and went to another fork in the road, and finally it was a dead hole, and we couldn't get through, so everyone came back and walked out.
When you get out of the hole. The day before yesterday, the rope they had placed there was still there, and it was very strong when they pulled it by hand, and everyone grabbed the rope one by one and walked down to the river.
My father decided to rest for half a day in the place where he stayed the morning before yesterday and prepare to eat.
Along the way, I still walked overnight, and when people and dogs and little wolves were tired, they lay down in the car and squinted for a while, and everyone took turns to rest, but they also walked very fast. After two nights and a half days of walking. They have come to the place where in previous years they cut trees and sawed wood.
It's half a day's walk from the castle, and soon they'll be able to eat their meals and get a good night's sleep.
Everyone thought about it, and they quietly showed a smile in their hearts.
In fact, when there was still a day to go, my father had arranged for five or six dogs to come home to report the news, so that my mother could rest assured and prepare meals early.
The father and the eldest son walked in front, accompanied by a few little wolves and dogs. Behind them were uncles and cousins, as well as a few dogs and wolves to protect them. The creaking sound of carts being pulled and pushed echoed through the valley, making it feel like a time back to farming in your hometown.
Suddenly, several dogs in front of them barked violently, startling the father and eldest son. It is customary to lift the knife and spear, and look around to see where there is danger.
The few people who walked behind also immediately stopped and prepared to be vigilant.
All the little wolves and dogs also pricked up their ears and half-crouched. It seems to be ready to rush out and fight at any time.
Just as everyone was stunned, they saw a brown and yellow saber-toothed tiger staggering out of the woods in front of him, standing in the middle of the road, looking at this group of animals that he had probably never seen before.
The saber-toothed tiger's feet are two people tall, and one front leg is two as thick as a person's thigh, and if he is slapped or grabbed by the sharp claws, the person will definitely be gone.
The father knew that it was not good, and hurriedly asked everyone to gather all the spears, and a few strong people stood in front, and formed a stabbing wall with spears, as long as the tiger rushed over, they would deal with the thorn wall, and at the same time gathered all the dogs and little wolves, in front of the saber-toothed tiger, these little guys were too small to withstand a slap or a paw from it.
Then, the eldest son took out the rattan net, which had been basically unused along the way, from the wheel car, and quickly unfolded it, and arranged for several other people to grab a horn one by one, and if the saber-toothed tiger was about to rush over, and the person holding the spear in front couldn't control it, it was time to go to the rattan net.
Seeing that the saber-toothed tiger did not move, the father asked the mother and several women to light a manuscript or a large piece of fir manuscript, so that the saber-toothed tiger automatically retreated.
After a while, the saber-toothed tiger saw that although these animals did not run away, they did not seem to have a good way to deal with it, so he stood up, wagged his tail, kicked his legs, and with a sudden roar, he pounced on his father and them.
My father and the others hurriedly pressed one end of the spear to the ground, holding the sharp spear and waiting for the saber-toothed tiger to pounce.
When the saber-toothed tiger saw this formation, his heart was only strange, and a harrier turned over, and twisted the body that pounced on it to the side, and then rolled on the ground, kicked his legs, and pounced on several people behind.
The eldest son and several people tightened the big net that had already been opened, and before the saber-toothed tiger pounced, they spread it towards the big guy.
The saber-toothed tiger was caught at the bottom of the net, and wherever it rolled, the rattan net moved.
Although they had never seen this battle, they were not afraid at all at this time, and threw the burning manuscript and fir manuscript towards the saber-toothed tiger under the rattan net, only to hear the sound of the "tent", and the hair on the saber-toothed tiger's body immediately caught fire - generally speaking, the fire would not be so fast, unless it had just been covered with oil, if it had not rubbed an itch on the fir tree, or had it not rolled a body of oil somewhere.
After burning all over his body, the saber-toothed tiger trapped in the rattan net was even more anxious, struggling more and more, and almost escaped from the net several times.
Seeing an opportunity, the father poked a spear into the saber-toothed tiger's eye and plunged it firmly into it.
Immediately afterward, several more spears poked one after another, but they were all pushed back by its thick fur, and everyone remembered that if it hadn't been trapped with a rattan net just now, if it had pounced directly on everyone's spear wall, it would have been more than a result.
After the hair was burned, the skin of the saber-toothed tiger was also burned to the point of oil, and the pain made it more and more angry.
At this time, the eldest son screamed with everyone, fell on the spot, pressed the rattan net low, and a few horns were directly wrapped around the stump, so that the saber-toothed tiger lost his temper and basically couldn't move.
So all the little wolves and dogs pounced, some biting their ears, some biting their mouths, some biting their tails, some biting their stomachs, some biting their balls, and in a short time a saber-toothed tiger bigger than a cow lay on the ground and did not move.
When everyone got this big guy to the station, my cousin and my cousin sat down on the ground - they had never encountered such a thing, and as soon as they entered the mountain, they would have fought directly with such a big thing, and they were so tired that they were so tired that if it weren't for their father's calm response, if it were just a few of them, they would have turned around and fled in fright.
The father looked at the saber-toothed tiger whose skin was still intact, and sighed that it was a pity that he had a good yellow coat, but it was also good that he could get such a big guy before going home, and it was a great gift to the family, not to mention that the tiger skin was a good thing, especially for the bones of people who were often in the mountains, and wearing clothes made of saber-toothed tiger skin was not only warm, but also curable.
Packing up their things, everyone is on the road again. After half a day of bumpy rides, creaking along the way, we arrived at the castle. Mother followed so many relatives that her white hair trembled with laughter.
Now there are forty-two people in the family. The girls in the family are also very happy, and they have a few more good playmates.
Back at the castle, the mother told the father that everything was normal in the house these days, and there were no animals to frighten him.
As soon as he put down what he was doing, his father was ready to arrange dinner with his mother, and his mother smiled and said, "Old man, you don't have to worry about it, wash your face well, our things are ready, you just have to eat."
After that, he led everyone into the stone cave, and several tables in the stone cave were already full of meat, vegetarian, domestic, and wild meals, and my father was happy with the wrinkles on his face.
The dog and the wolf were prepared with fresh wild boar meat and a large pot of porridge, and the little ones were only to roll on the floor and have fun. (To be continued.) )
