Chapter 15: The Hunt
It was the old Gu Tou, he looked at his little sister sitting on the chair and falling asleep, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. When he left home, Gu Xiaomei was still young, his mother didn't pay attention to his two biological children, plus some people in the village often have patriarchal thinking, and I didn't know how to educate Xiaomei, in short, when he was still at home, Xiaomei was still a little lively, but when he came back, he found that Xiaomei had become a completely silent woman, no matter how well she was doing, no matter how she asked, she just didn't say anything.
Although a woman may not be as good as when she was in her parents' house after she gets married, Lao Gu Tou sometimes can't tell whether the little sister is better in her mother's house or better in her mother-in-law's house.
That taciturn, silent appearance was praised by the old things in the village. What to say, this is what a woman and a daughter-in-law should look like. Tell yourself to scold yourself and scold people away.
If it's that good, why don't those old immortals do the same themselves?
It was also after I came back that I often went to Xiaomei's house to wander around, shocking one or two, and Gu Xiaomei's temperament recovered a little. Of course, this is also another reason why Lao Gu Tou is dissatisfied with Gu Boss. The sister of the two, he knew that Gu Xiaomei's temperament was not like this, but he didn't even think that there was anything wrong. After reading the books of those years in vain, etiquette, righteousness, shame, wisdom and wisdom have all been read into the belly of a dog!
It's just that after all, after so many years, Gu Xiaomei was born in less than a month, her body is not very good, and she has given birth to so many more, that is, she has only relaxed in the past few years. In the end, the bones of the body have lost a little, and it seems that I have to get some wild things for the little sister to make up for the body. Speaking of which, since I picked up Changsheng, I haven't gone to the mountain again. Now that Changsheng's body is getting better and better, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, and it is better to go to the mountains to have a look.
Just after these few months, the wild creatures on the mountain have grown almost the same.
made up his mind, and it happened that Lao Gu Tou still wanted to see the child's temperament, so early the next morning, the old and the young went up the mountain together.
Changsheng hadn't been up the mountain since he came to Gujia Village, and now he was following behind Old Gu Tou, walking one foot deep and one foot shallow, his eyes full of curiosity.
In the early morning, there was a layer of mist in the mountains, and it looked cloudy, but Lao Gu Tou was very familiar with the grass and trees on the mountain. He had lived alone at the foot of the mountain for so long, and all he relied on was this mountain.
Old Gu Tou had the heart to teach Changsheng something, so when he went to set up the trap, he asked her to observe carefully, and from time to time he asked Changsheng to answer his own questions in a vicious voice, and if he couldn't answer, he would be scolded.
"Why am I tying the rope like this? Why can't sharp wood be arranged in this pit? What? Why can't you even answer such a simple question? Of course, it's because this is a path for the villagers of Gujia Village to go up the mountain, what if someone accidentally steps on it? Tie it into a dead knot, of course, so that the prey will not escape! ”
In a short time, Changsheng was scolded more than a dozen times!
"Hoo ......"
Changsheng didn't feel anything wrong, and Lao Gu Tou couldn't stand it anymore.
He gasped a few times and brushed his messy hair, feeling deeply that he might be more than three years old in just a few moments. Old Gu Tou had reason to suspect that Changsheng was intentional, but when he glanced at Changsheng's sparkling eyes, he couldn't help but be defeated.
Forget it, it seems that she didn't mean it either.
Otherwise, the children are all good at home. Even if it doesn't look good, but since you have recognized your parents, it is your own cub. So in the eyes of Lao Gutou, it is quite cute.
"Anyway, you try tying the rope."
Changsheng didn't have any opinions. She loves to try new things, but no one cared about her feelings before. Naturally, no one will think of taking the initiative to take her to know new things.
Take a step forward and squat on the wet ground. The mountain air had a faint earthy smell, and the ground beneath his feet was covered with a layer of leaves, mixed with the moist smell of decay, but none of this was enough to distract Changsheng. Maybe it's because you've been playing alone for a long time, and when you do something, you can often devote yourself to it. For example, even though the mosquitoes in the mountains bite her face and the wet soil beneath her body soaks into her clothes, her eyes are still focused on the untamable rope in her hand.
This rope is actually not thick, but Changsheng's hand is too thin to hold this rough rope.
Old Gu Tou stood aside and watched Changsheng try to tie this rope tightly, and several times, he wanted to shout to stop, but in the end he couldn't speak. This is only the first step in the hunt in the mountains, if she can't do even this little thing, what else can she do? I can't be by her side all the time.
Thinking of this, a slightly warm smile appeared on Lao Gutou's old-fashioned and stiff face, and then he couldn't help but cough lightly a few times, and then mentioned something when Changsheng was in a hurry.
Eventually, a simple and immature rope trap was formed.
"Grandpa! I did it! ”
Changsheng excitedly showed his achievements, and Lao Gu Tou did not hesitate to praise her, but looked around this trap, and even poked it with a stick, and only after thinking that it was really good, did he nod slightly.
"Okay."
"Hmm!"
Changsheng was very excited. Grandpa barely praised himself, and now even though it was only a short sentence, he felt extremely excited.
She stood up excitedly, but her physical strength was not better than others, just a long time of bowing her head had made her head bloodshot, and the moment she stood up, she was a little dizzy, and she shook uncontrollably from side to side for a while. But Changsheng pinched his palm fiercely and stood up straight again.
Lao Gu Tou looked at this scene, his face was a little complicated. This kid is far tougher than he imagined.
"Fluttering ......"
At this moment, there was a sound of fluttering wings from the direction of the trap that had been arranged before, and Lao Gu Tou looked overjoyed, and immediately rushed over there with Changsheng. He was clearly lame on one leg, but at this time, running through the uneven mountains was not slower than a normal person. Especially Lao Gu Tou, while walking, he explained to Changsheng why he was in such a hurry.
"You'll have to get there when you notice the movement. This fluttering sound of wings is most likely a pheasant on this mountain. They are too good at tossing and turning to attract carnivores, and it is likely that not only will they not catch the pheasants, but the traps will be destroyed. ”
"Yes!"
Changsheng's excited little face turned red.
In the cold wind of the early morning, she followed the footsteps of Lao Gutou and ran forward, although the stumbling was not smooth, but she gradually felt a new feeling, constantly rushing in her chest.
It wasn't until a long, long time later that Changsheng gradually understood that that feeling was called freedom.
