Chapter 4: Borrow a bow and arrow to hunt a wild animal
Soon, the group bypassed the Black Mountain Forest and reached the top of the mountain, where the moonlight was abundant.
The officers and men set up tents on it, and gave each man a cornmeal biscuit, but they themselves roasted and ate a rabbit that the tenant had hunted.
Song He'er quietly pulled Qin Xiaoniang and her younger brother to a very dimly lit place, and took out two yams from her arms: "A-Niang, this is what I secretly dug on the road, no one saw it, hurry, wipe it!" ”
Qin Xiaoniang said with a worried face: "He'er, don't always mess around, when you came forward to speak for the farmer just now, you frightened your mother, if you offend those officers and soldiers, you will suffer all the way......."
"Auntie, I'm fine, I'm smart, otherwise how did I dig up the yam?"
"You, you have to be careful."
"Good!"
Parents love their children, and they have far-reaching plans for it, although Qin Xiaoniang is timid, she always loves her children.
Song He'er happily accompanied Qin Xiaoniang to finish eating the yam, and sneaked to the tenant's side without the officers and soldiers paying attention, "Uncle! ”
The tenant was so frightened that he was almost speechless, "Eh, I said girl, what are you doing without sleeping in the middle of the night?" ”
"I'm here to save you."
"Help me? Come on? Those officers and soldiers are some of them who have fathers and no mothers, and it would be good if they didn't force me to give them money, can they let me go down the mountain? ”
Song He'er opened a pair of big watery eyes and looked at him very seriously, "I said yes, but you have to exchange something with me." ”
The more the tenant thought about it, the more wrong it became, and asked, "I don't have any money." ”
"I don't want your money, I want your bow and arrows, and I will take ...... This change ...... What do you think? Song He'er took out a silver hairpin with pearls.
These were still collected by her in the treasury of the General's Mansion, and although they were not valuable, they were a rare thing for the tenants who worked in the countryside all year round.
"This? Give me? The tenant asked incredulously.
Song He'er nodded, "I'm the general's daughter, do you want something from this palace?" ”
The tenant thought about it, and felt that the bow and arrow were not worth the price, and the transaction was a good deal, so he agreed to Song He'er's request.
"Okay then, but how are you going to get me down?"
"Don't worry about it, you can just take advantage of the chaos to go down the mountain in a while!"
Song He'er happily took the bow and arrow, but this pile of things is too heavy, how can she, a fourteen-year-old girl, pick it up? !
She could only drag them towards the grass, find a place to backlight, and put them in her own space.
After dealing with the bow and arrow, Song He'er learned a 'wolf howl' at the bottom of the mountain, "Woo~"
As soon as the voice came out, Song He'er pretended to be flustered and ran towards the place where the team was resting, "Hide, the wolf is coming!" Cry wolf! ”
This shout frightened the eldest lady Li Shi immediately pulled her two precious daughters and hid at the back of the line.
The Qin clan also picked up a torch in a panic and protected Song He'er behind him.
The officers and men were not as bold as chickens, and when they heard that the wolves were coming, they jumped up and down in fright, and ran to the cave with torches.
By night, Song He'er saw the tenant and hurried down the mountain......
It's smart enough to know how to run.
"What the fuck, what the hell is this!" One of the officers and soldiers complained.
"Okay, hurry up and go to bed, hurry up tomorrow!"
After a period of complaining, the surroundings fell silent.
The next day, just after dawn, the officers and men began to count the number of people.
The first officer and soldier inspected the team two or three times, and suddenly threw his clothes to the ground in a discouraged manner.
"What about the tenant!"
"Didn't you sleep there last night?" Another officer replied.
"Fuck! I actually told him to run away! ”
"Maybe the wolf will eat it! Gotta get it, let's go quickly, whatever he does! The other officers and soldiers were frightened by the wolf, and they couldn't wait to leave this place quickly, so they didn't want to care about anything.
When the officers and soldiers at the head heard this, they snorted coldly, and did not continue to delve into it, but continued to move forward with the team.
The further you go, the less food you have, and people go from two meals at the beginning to one meal at noon, and as long as they don't starve to death, they will starve to death.
The fat third aunt Zhang Xiu'e has a wide body, and the two cakes are not enough for her to stuff between her teeth, so she lost weight because of hunger along the way.
"Sister-in-law, I'll help you hug Brother Huan for a while, I'm fat and strong."
According to Song He'er's memories of searching for the original body, this Zhang Xiu'e is one of the few good people in the general's mansion.
She also has a five-year-old daughter under her knees, who never chews the root of her tongue on weekdays, nor is she jealous, but she has a tendon and some shafts.
Qin Xiaoniang was a little embarrassed: "This ...... Your face is not good, forget it. ”
"No, Sister He still has to grow up, you can't ask her to hold it for you, come, give it to me!"
Brother Huan has been nine months old, and his body is also heavier, usually Song He'er and Qin Xiaoniang take turns to carry and hold it, and they have never let others handle it.
"That's... Thank you. ”
After Zhang Xiu'e picked up the child, she really hugged her for a while.
It wasn't until the time when it was about to go downhill that the child was returned.
After walking too much, it is inevitable that they will be hungry, so everyone decided to dig some wild vegetables on the mountain to eat, and boiled the water and put some salt, which can be regarded as some taste.
And those officers and soldiers just left it alone.
Anyway, they have food and drink, and when they get to the next station, they can prepare food for themselves, which is a hundred times better than what these prisoners can eat.
"There are mushrooms there! Fast! ”
Song Xiaoyue is an extremely selfish person, when she sees what she eats, she can't wait to receive it all in her pocket, and it is impossible to leave the slightest chance for others.
Song He'er carried the frame that Qin Xiaoniang had just woven with bamboo strips, passed by Song Xiaoyue, glanced at the brightly colored big mushroom, and a sneering smile rose at the corner of her mouth.
Song Xiaoyue thought she had some bad idea, and immediately warned her: "I tell you, this piece is all my mother and sister's, and it is not your share, I will let you know today what will happen if you offend me!" ”
Song He'er spread her hands: "You eat it all, I don't want it at all." ”
Song Xiaoyue was a little incredulous, looked back at her sister, and asked, "She won't be stupid by you, she doesn't want such a good mushroom?" ”
Song Xiaoxing's face was full of gloom: "She was stupid by me? Big sister, I was almost whipped to death by her! ”
"Poof!" Song Xiaoyue couldn't help laughing.
"Laugh! What to laugh at! You quickly gave me this bad breath! Song Xiaoxing said unhappily.
"Okay, okay, you wait, my sister must give you this bad breath!"
