My name is Fifth Brother Zhang, Zhang who is a bow and arrow, Fifth who has a good harvest, and Brother Goldbach.

I'm now on the continent of Os, and the girl I'm traveling with is called Mei. I suspected that Mei liked me, but I didn't know why she liked me. Is it because my surname is Zhang? People in the village say that it is good to marry the surname Zhang, and I don't know why.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Fifth Brother Zhang walked lightly and strongly, carrying a white bear skin and dozens of catties of bear meat on his back, and strode in the snow.

Mei behind her was holding a bow and arrow in her hand, her forehead was already sweating, her breathing became short, and she couldn't keep up with Fifth Brother Zhang's pace, but she was a stubborn girl, and she wouldn't complain easily, just gritted her teeth and persevered.

Fifth Brother Zhang looked back at Mei and asked, "Are you tired, do you want to stop and rest for a while?" ”

Mei's chest rose and fell, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said, "I'm not tired, I used to chase wild donkeys in the wasteland, and I could catch up all day in one go." ”

Fifth Brother Zhang has a simple and open-minded temperament, and he doesn't understand that his daughter's family likes duplicity, so he believes it. Since he recovered, he knew that he would never be able to go back to his hometown in Blackstone Village.

"Mei, it's not interesting to go like this, how about we change our singing?" When Fifth Brother Zhang used to work in the fields, sometimes everyone sang a song for you and I sang a song, and I forgot about my tiredness when I listened to it.

Mei's throat was dry and thirsty, as if on fire, and she said, "I can't sing, you can sing first." ”

Fifth Brother Zhang thought about it, grinned and sang loudly: "The matchmaker in the first month of the year will be set in February." The dowry will be handed over in March, and the wedding will be welcomed in April. My sister saw my brother, and I couldn't stop talking. The two of us are alive and dead, and we are long together. ”

Fifth Brother Zhang's voice was like a broken gong, shaking the four fields.

Mei probably understood the meaning of the lyrics and asked, "Since the two people like each other, why can't they be together immediately?" Why is it so troublesome, and you have to talk about the matchmaker's dowry? ”

Fifth Brother Zhang scratched his head, he didn't know why, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "This ...... This is the rule, everyone has to follow the rules. ”

Mei said: "I don't think this kind of rule is good, if you don't follow the rules, then the two people can't be together?" ”

Fifth Brother Zhang was asked a lot of meat and vegetables, and he didn't know how to answer. He suddenly thought of his fourth sister, who obviously liked the heroic militia company commander, but because she was married to her neighbors first, she could only cry secretly under the quilt at night.

"Maybe these rules are bad, but what can be done?" Fifth Brother Zhang said helplessly.

"If the rules are not good, kill the rules!" Mei said categorically.

Fifth Brother Zhang thought about it, nodded and said, "Yes! If the rules are not good, then kill the fucking rules! ”

The two of you look at me, I look at you, and suddenly they both laughed out loud.

After another two miles, there was an open valley in front of me, and the stream at the bottom of the valley meandered, and the white mist floated on the water, and the water rattled.

Fifth Brother Zhang looked from afar and found that the stream was flickering, shining with golden light.

Mei happily ran towards the stream, picked up a handful of water and tasted it, only to feel that it was sweet and delicious, and the water was actually warm, not cold at all.

Mei drank to her heart's content, filled her leather bag with water, shook her arm and shouted, "Fifth brother, this water is warm, come and take a look." ”

Fifth Brother Zhang walked to the stream, washed the sweat on his face with the stream water, and said, "This water may come out of the hot spring, let's follow the stream for a while and walk to the source to have a look." ”

Mei nodded, and suddenly saw several forest frogs in the stream, and quickly pulled out a bone arrow, which stabbed a forest frog at once.

"There are forest frogs, come and catch them!" Mei shouted, and stabbed several larger, fatter frogs with bone arrows.

When Fifth Brother Zhang heard Mei's shout, he was about to catch the forest frog together, but he was attracted by a golden thing on the riverbed, picked it up and looked at it, put it in his mouth and bit it, and was immediately overjoyed. "Gold, it's gold!"

Mei was only concerned about catching forest frogs, and when she heard Fifth Brother Zhang's shouting, she didn't raise her head.

Fifth Brother Zhang put away the thumb-sized gold, and turned over the stones on the riverbed to find gold, and after a while, he actually picked up more than a dozen pieces of gold, large or small, one of which was a natural dog's head gold weighing half a catty.

"If this is exchanged for money, can we buy a tractor for the production team?" Fifth Brother Zhang's heart was excited.

Mei strung all the forest frogs she caught on the bone arrows, saw Fifth Brother Zhang holding a pile of gold, and said, "I have seen it a long time ago, what is the use of gold?" It is soft, and it can neither be made into a weapon, nor can it be eaten as food. ”

Fifth Brother Zhang was stunned and asked unwillingly, "Gold is useless in the wasteland?" ”

Mei thought about it carefully and said, "It's useless at all!" However, I have heard that the Sulu tribe likes to put gold collars on their slaves to distinguish them. ”

"Slaves wear gold collars?" Fifth Brother Zhang's values were shattered, and he asked again: "Don't the girls in the tribe like jewelry made of gold?" ”

"I don't like it!" Mei replied in the affirmative, and took out the pendant she was wearing from her neck, which was a black metal the size of a peanut tied to a leather rope.

"This is meteoric iron, a piece of iron that fell from the sky, I picked it up in the wild, and we savage girls like hard things, and are not interested in soft gold."

Fifth Brother Zhang stepped forward, stretched out his hand and touched Mei's meteorite pendant, and looked at it carefully, there seemed to be some red rust on it, he felt that this meteorite was not much different from the iron lump of the production team's horseshoe, why did it become so precious here?

Fifth Brother Zhang looked at the bone arrow behind Mei and the bone dagger on his waist, and asked, "Then why don't you use meteoric iron as a weapon?" ”

Mei said: "There is too little meteoric iron, and the meteorite iron of the entire Blackstone tribe has been collected, and it is not enough to make a war knife. I heard from the elders of the clan that only the king of the barbarians was qualified to use weapons made of meteoric iron, and if others used meteoric iron weapons without permission, it would be a capital offense of great disrespect. ”

Fifth Brother Zhang was speechless, the whole tribe was so poor that he didn't even have a metal kitchen knife, but he regarded gold as dung, what happened to this world? Am I crazy, or is the world crazy?

Fifth Brother Zhang sighed, threw all the gold in his arms into the stream, and said, "Let's follow the stream to the source and have a look." ”

The ground on both sides of the creek was hot, there was no snow or ice, and the bare ground was covered with grass like a green carpet.

Zhang Wuge and Mei traced the stream, and walked a long way, and found that on a high slope, there were countless large and small geothermal springs, which gathered together to become a small stream.

Mei walked near a spring, and the hot water was bubbling and gurgling out, and the stones around her were a little hot to the touch. Mei put the forest frogs dressed in a string into the hot spring eye, and after only a while, these forest frogs were all cooked, Mei took down a forest frog and handed it to Zhang Wuge, and said: "These forest frogs eat fat and big in summer, and in winter they don't eat anymore, their stomachs are clean, and they are boiled and eaten like this, and they taste the best." ”

Fifth Brother Zhang took the forest frog and looked left and right, and he didn't know how to eat. When he was in Blackstone Village, he also ate frogs, but they were washed and peeled, cut into small pieces, and fried with hot oil and chili peppers. This is the first time he has tried such a whole-cooked and original way of eating.

Mei smiled slightly and said, "Fifth brother, a big hero like you, you are used to drinking wine in big bowls and eating meat, and you have never eaten something like a forest frog, right?" In fact, the meat of the forest frog is tender and fragrant, you can know it when you taste it. ”

After Mei finished speaking, she picked up a boiled forest frog and swallowed it whole.

Fifth Brother Zhang swallowed his saliva, and was extremely amazed in his heart, a little girl like Mei had such a strong ability to swallow, as a man, of course, he couldn't be left behind, so he painted the scoop according to the gourd, picked up the forest frog in his hand, and ate it into his mouth in one bite, and immediately felt soft and tender, and this forest frog has a bag of oil in his stomach, which melts in his mouth.

"Delicious!" Fifth Brother Zhang seemed to have discovered a new continent, his eyes were shining, and he swallowed a few forest frogs in a row.

After a while, the caught forest frog was eaten cleanly, and Fifth Brother Zhang was still unsatisfied, and said to Mei: "Let's go catch the forest frog again and cook it." ”

Mei said: "Forest frog meat is very nourishing, but there is a disadvantage, men eat too much to lose their beards, you have eaten a lot just now, but you can't eat anymore." ”

Fifth Brother Zhang's beard is longer than Guan Erye's now, and it is very inconvenient to eat and drink, but he doesn't care about losing his beard, and said: "It's good to lose your beard clean, and it saves trouble." ”

Mei said apologetically: "I fled all the way, and I didn't shave you, I'm really sorry." ”

The original owner of Fifth Brother Zhang's body was the leader of the Blackstone tribe, and he had more than a dozen wives to serve every day, and of course he kept his beard neatly groomed. Now that the tiger has fallen into the plain, there is only one Mei by her side, she is a huntress, and she is still not very good at how to take care of people.

Mei pulled out the bone dagger around her waist, pressed it against Fifth Brother Zhang's face, and slowly shaved off the unkempt beard, Fifth Brother Zhang only felt that the bone dagger was extremely sharp, and wherever he went, the beards fell to the ground one after another, and he didn't know what kind of animal bones were polished. Although Mei's palm is not soft and delicate, it can touch Fifth Brother Zhang's face, but he can't help but feel his heart pounding.

The bone dagger gradually shaved to the neck, and Mei's long hair slipped down on Fifth Brother Zhang's nose, itchy, Fifth Brother Zhang couldn't help but sneeze, and his body trembled.

With a sigh, Mei hurriedly withdrew the bone dagger, but still cut a shallow bloody cut on Fifth Brother Zhang's neck, and the blood flowed out at once, and Mei hurriedly covered it with her hand.

"I'm useless!" Mei blamed herself and scolded herself.

Fifth Brother Zhang didn't take this injury in his eyes at all, and said: "This injury is nothing, and I don't blame you, it's me who is not good." ”

Mei almost cried and said, "Fifth brother, I'm so stupid, you can beat me." ”

It turned out that barbarian men were short-tempered, but when they were dissatisfied, they punched and kicked their wives and daughters, which was accustomed to in the tribe.

Fifth Brother Zhang was stunned and said, "What am I doing beating you?" Only bears and bears only beat women, and I don't want to be a big bear. ”

Mei was amused, looking at Fifth Brother Zhang's shaved face, it seemed that she was a different person, less domineering, and more honest and kind.

"Fifth brother, are you really unwilling to return to the Blackstone Tribe? There are a dozen or so wives of yours there, who will serve you very comfortably, unlike me, who only hunt and do not take care of people at all. ”

Fifth Brother Zhang asked, "I used to have more than a dozen wives?" When he saw Mei nodding affirmatively, he asked again, "Is it an arranged marriage?" ”

Mei was puzzled and asked, "What is an arranged marriage?" ”

"It's that husband and wife have no feelings and are reluctant to be together." In Fifth Brother Zhang's impression, only bullies and villains will have many wives, and most of these wives are not sincere, but because they are forced to be helpless.

Mei thought for a while and said, "Your wives were all snatched by you, so it can be regarded as an arranged marriage." ”

"I used to be a big badass?" Fifth Brother Zhang asked.

"Pretty much." Mei replied.
