Chapter 43: Take Off
Stone house.
"Shadowless, how's the news going?" Chang Maofeng put a cup of tea in his mouth, but he didn't drink it, just smelled it.
"Back to Master, less than 20% of the displaced people outside the mountains survived... A few days ago, a soldier opened the city gate and scooped up the floating corpses outside the city gate and burned them in a concentrated fire, and now there is chaos outside the city gate. ”
Chang Maofeng shook his head: "The county order is brainless, and the people suffer." If he had settled the displaced people in the first place, why did he come to such a point? That's it, we don't care about this..."He sighed and put down the teacup and looked at Chang Qing: "Xiaoqing, how do you think about it?" Do you want to stay in this deep mountain to spend your old age, or do you want to go to the outside world to show your ambitions? ”
Chang Qing raised her head slightly, her voice was very soft, but the strength was not light: "Master, you know, my heart has never been calm. I still want to go to the outside world to have a look, Master often says to let go of my deep hatred, but I don't have any other luxury, I just want to see what the world my father and mother have dedicated their lives to fighting for, and I want to see if the people in this corner of the world can still remember them. I'm not blinded by hatred, but I want to vindicate them. ”
"Master. If we help my father and mother correct their names, if I have seen the corners of the world, we will come back here, okay? ”
For a while, Chang Maofeng stared at Chang Qing for a long time, as if he was looking at him, and seemed to be looking at others through Chang Qing.
For a long time, the corners of Chang Maofeng's eyes were slightly moist, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, and the tears fell into the teacup and merged with the tea.
A calm voice rang out in the stone room: "Okay. ”
After another three days, the water in the deep mountains was almost drained, and everyone who could walk around in the cave went out, and Wang Tieniu and Wang Shuyu, who were left, also worked in the cave.
Wang Tieniu is a mason, and he is quite reliable to do heavy work, and he can only say that he can use what he weaves, and he looks good or something, so he can't force it too much.
Father and daughter, one weaves baskets, and the other helps sew clothes and shoes. They had no money to buy fabric, and they couldn't buy it, so their clothes and shoes were torn, so they simply wrapped them in rags and mended them.
Ever since Dayan discovered that he could trade delicious cereals with Xia Huai, he became addicted. From time to time, he threw a rabbit or pheasant to the mouth of the cave, once or twice, and if there were too many times, Xia Huai would discuss with it and let it carry someone on her back.
Although I am very happy to have meat to eat, it is also very painful to give out a lot of food! Xia Huai, a rich family, is not distressed, she is worried that her father and mother are distressed, although she stuffs one or two handfuls of grain into the grain bag at home from time to time, but there are nine people in a line, even if one person eats two taels a day, he has to eat almost two catties a day.
There wasn't much food left, and she had to figure out a way.
"Dad, why don't you go and see if the food is still there?"
Xia Dashan waved his hand: "The designation is gone, even if it is, it can't be eaten!" "It's raining for more than half a month, so can't all the grain be soaked? What's more, there must have been a lot of people drowned outside, and even if he could eat the food soaked with the corpses, he wouldn't dare to eat it!
"It's also... Then hunt some more game. ”
“... I try my best. "Hopefully good luck will come again, huh? What about the stupid bird? Why don't you throw something at the mouth of the cave?
Xia Dashan was a little lost. Although he had to feed the geese some millet every time, he felt that the geese gave them more things. Suddenly, this entry was missing, and I felt quite lost.
Before he could be lost for too long, suddenly a familiar shout came from a distance: "Uncle Dashan! ”
Xia Dashan fixed his eyes and looked at it, yo! Isn't this a rice duo?
No wonder he said that, but after the rain stopped, these two came twice, and although they brought something each time, they also ate a lot!
It's the age of the long body, and the two young men and thieves can eat it!
In fact, Wuying's age almost became Chang Qing's father, but because he grew up with Chang Qing since he was a child, and he had no chance to marry a daughter-in-law, he ate well and slept well in the mountains, and he was ten years younger!
Therefore, next to Chang Qing, he is at most like Chang Qing's brother.
"Haha, why did you two come here?" Xia Dashan stepped forward and chatted with Wuying.
Although the kid Wuying is obligated and greedy, I have to say that this guy is very good at talking to people. The two of them have come and gone, and they are really friends with wine and meat.
"Uncle Dashan, I heard that you are going to stock up on some food and prepare to go to Huating County, right?"
"yes, what? Could it be that you are going too? Xia Dashan has inquired clearly in the past few days, these two people were raised by an old man and have been in the mountains for more than ten years. He didn't believe that these few days had made them want to leave here!
However, to disappoint Xia Dashan, they really went.
"Our master said that we are not young, and our junior brother will be crowned in three or two years, so he plans to take us outside to have a look. It just so happens that we have people we know in Huating County, why don't we be together? ”
As if he knew that Xia Dashan would hesitate, he immediately said, "Aren't you going to hunt?" No one is better at hunting than we are, and with us, at least we don't have to worry about eating! ”
I have to say that at this moment, Xia Dashan's heart was moved.
"Ahem, in this case, I'll go back and talk to them." He thought about it carefully, in fact, it would be better to let them follow, these two people are martial arts masters, strong in martial arts, and they can also help block it when they encounter problems. He is also good at surviving in the wild, and when he encounters a lack of food and clothing, he may have a different opportunity.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and Xia Dashan wanted to run back immediately.
However, his shoulders were tightly hugged by Wuying: "Let's go, go hunting!" ”
So, that night, Xia Dashan returned with a full load.
"Scared!" Liu Qingyun stood up in shock: "Brother Dashan, you are..."
Zhou Huiniang ran out when she heard the sound, and her face was so happy that she was about to laugh: "So many prey, are they all from you?" ”
"No, it was Wuying and Xiaoqing who fought with me, these are my shares, and I will go tomorrow!"
"Wuying, the two brothers are so powerful..."Zhou Huiniang admired.
The stone also danced excitedly: "Mother, Uncle Zhou, you don't know how powerful Brother Wuying is, just throw a stone out, and the rabbit won't be able to run!" ”
In the past, Uncle Oyama took him to hunt, and if he caught a few birds, he felt very powerful. Until today, he did not know what it means to have people outside of people and heaven outside of heaven.
He was so happy, but he didn't know what words could describe his mood. Anyway, he really wants to learn this craft!
If Xia Huai can read his inner OS, he will definitely be able to help him express his mood at this time.
It's like a bronze player who meets the king of glory, lying down and flying!
