Chapter 5: A False Alarm!

It was Tai Yongning who dragged his lame leg and lowered his head.

Yang Lihua couldn't bear her son like this, so she quickly stuffed the well-fed little girl into his arms.

Holding the fragrant and soft milk dumpling sister, Tai Yongning immediately forgot about his frustration.

After eating, Tai Jizu was about to set off with his three boys.

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue came to their sister's side and patted their chests to promise.

"Sister, you wait, the third brother will catch a pheasant for you and come back!"

"And the rabbit, the fourth brother will also catch a nest for you!"

Yang Lihua was withdrawing from the table, and when she heard this, she raised her hand and patted the two boys on the back, and instructed: "You just can't catch the pheasant and the rabbit, and you are also Zhuzhu's brother!"

"Yesterday's incident, you were indeed at fault, but Zhuzhu is sober, and you have caught fish again, even if you have made up for it."

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue were weak-hearted, shrunk their necks, and their eyes were a little red.

They thought their family didn't know.

This day and night was tormented by guilt, and I was worried that my sister would suddenly become stupid again, which was worse than death......

It turned out that the two brothers were in charge of taking care of their sister yesterday, and they took their sister out to play when they were bored.

As a result, a little thing quarreled with the village boys.

After the fight, I turned my head and found that my sister was pushed down by the dog......

If it weren't for their playfulness, my sister wouldn't have hurt her head!

Old Man Tai picked up the cigarette pouch and pot, knocked on his grandson's head, and opened his mouth to set the tone for the previous matter, "I know that I can't live with Zhuzhu, and I will treat her better in the future." Next time, I'll discount your legs. ”

"No, grandpa, we don't dare anymore."

"Yes, we definitely don't dare!"

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue hurriedly nodded their heads, and assured like chickens pecking rice.

made Zhuzhu clap her chubby hand and giggle, and the whole family laughed too......

Although the New Year has passed, the Northland is still a long way from spring.

The snow outside the village was so thick that there was no sign of melting.

Tai Jizu stepped on the snow nest in front of him, step by step, and the broken snow soon poured into his shoes, but he still walked forward firmly.

Tai Yongan and the other three boys followed closely behind, stepping on footprints, which saved a lot of effort.

The north wind was blowing in his face, and no one dared to speak.

Otherwise, it is not a joke to pour a cold wind on your stomach, unless you are on the kang for half a day, otherwise it is easy to have a stomachache or wind cold.

The whirring white breath spewed out from the mouth of the four masters, and soon fell on the eyelashes and eyebrows, condensing into a layer of hoarfrost, which slightly melted and was frozen into ice ballast.

The suffering of the North is beyond the imagination of the people of the South.

It's no wonder that the people of the Northland are tough, but as long as they are a little weak, they can't survive the wind and snow!

As soon as he walked to the foot of the back mountain, Tai Jizu saw an old man chopping wood.

Xu heard the movement, and the old man turned his head and smiled and showed a mouthful of yellow teeth.

Tai Jizu hurriedly greeted, "Uncle dumb, there is no firewood at home?" ”

The old man nodded, raised his hand and gestured for a long time, looking enthusiastic.

Tai Jizu guessed a little bit of meaning, so he smiled and said: "Thank you Uncle Dumb for your concern, my family Zhuzhu is much better."

"I'll bring the boys over to see if I can catch some rabbits and pheasants to replenish Zhuzhu's body."

The dumb man nodded, pointed to the north side of the mountain, and made another gesture.

Then he walked away with the firewood on his back, and the ragged clothes on his body were lifted by the wind, revealing his arms that were red from the cold.

Tai Jizu beckoned the boys to go north with him, "Uncle Dumb said that there are the most bird's nests in the north, let us go and see if we can get bird eggs." ”

Tai Yongan cheered and rushed forward.

Tai Yonglu didn't forget to shout, "San Fat said that he smelled meat on Uncle Dumb, Uncle Dumb must have come out to steal prey, and he knows best where there are good things!"

"Hurry up, I'm going to take out the bird's eggs and cook them for my sister!"

Tai Jizu followed behind, smiled, and didn't take it seriously.

Uncle Dumb is not surnamed Tai, but a foreign surname who fled from the south many years ago.

But he couldn't speak, and he was willing to lend a hand to help anyone when they had a job, and he had a good temper, so the people in the village allowed him to stay and stay, and he has lived in the village until now.

It's just that the dumb uncle is old and occasionally goes into the city to beg.

It takes two or three days to walk dozens of miles back and forth, how can you have the strength and ability to hunt?!

The life of the family in the village is not good, and the children are crazy with hunger, and when they see everyone like meat, they can't wait to nibble on two bites......

The four of them finally stepped on the snow nest and rushed to the north of the mountain, where the woods are very dense and there are many bird nests in the canopy.

It's just that the birds and finches make nests and lay eggs to hatch their cubs in the spring, and they are all brought to the south in the autumn, and they may not leave a few eggs for the north wind to freeze and play.

But Tai Jizu looked around, the snow under the woods was smooth and clean, and there were not even the footprints of a small beast, so he definitely couldn't count on hunting.

Try digging out the eggs anyway, or they'll run for nothing.

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue didn't think about it so much at all, and they had already started climbing by holding a tree.

Unfortunately, they all got nothing.

Tai Yongan also picked one to climb on, and in the end he was like his younger brothers.

Tai Jizu looked for a long time and took a fancy to the thickest tree on the edge of the cliff, and there were three bird's nests on the tree.

He simply took off his heavy jacket, let his son hug him, and then climbed up with a cloth bag in his mouth.

God finally opened his eyes, and there were actually bird eggs in the three nests, and there were more than 20 of them together!

Under the tree, Tai Yongan, Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue watched their father (uncle) pick up the birds' eggs, and they were already screaming excitedly.

Tai Jizu also laughed happily and shouted, "Don't shout, stinky boys, be careful of causing trouble, wait for me to go down ......"

In the middle of his words, snow particles fell into the collar of his jacket, so cold that he subconsciously shrank his neck forward.

Tai Jizu felt a cold wind behind his head, and before he could react, the trunk of the tree that his subordinates borrowed from suddenly broke......

Without support, Tai Jizu directly planted the big tree and fell off the cliff!

"Daddy!"

"Uncle!"

The three boys were frightened and screamed before they fell off the cliff.

Fortunately, Tai Jizu was stopped twice by a small tree growing on the edge of the cliff, and finally landed on a bush.

Tai Yongan cried and laughed in surprise a few times, and climbed down the snow slope on one side.

Tai Jizu escaped death, and it took a long time to relieve himself.

He rolled over and fell into the bushes, fell into the snow, holding the bag of eggs in one hand and supporting his body in the other, and turned his head in disbelief to look at the cliff.

By this time, the three boys had arrived.

"Dad, are you alright? Where did it break? Tai Yongan picked up his father and put a coat on him.

Tai Yonglu also took the cloth bag and stuffed it to Tai Yongyue.

"I'm fine, the cliff is not high, and I haven't broken anything." Tai Jizu was afraid that the children would be worried, so he got up and slapped the residual snow on his body.

But he had something in his heart, and no matter how he looked at the quiet snowfields around him, something was wrong, so he hurried home.
