Lin Piao snapped the medicine bottle to the side: "Your father is the king of heaven?" If he doesn't let us go, I'm going to be rude to him, your father is dominating the mountain and becoming the king of the mountain? You go back and tell your father that this is the mountain of the whole village, and we can hunt if we want, but he can't control it, so is it possible that the whole village is not allowed to hunt? ”

Li Shoumai crossed his arms: "Anyway, with me and my father here, few people dare to go up to the mountains to hunt, but if you come to the mountains, I can accompany you to hunt, anyway, you are from other villages, and my father is too lazy to care." ”

"Can't you do it from this village?"

"Yes, not in this village."

Lin Piaoxin said why there were no men hunting in the village, and it turned out that they were intimidated by the hunters on the mountain.

"I'm not scaring you, my father thought you were bringing a bunch of children to care, but now you run in front of him to scold him, and if you take these children up the mountain in the future, I don't know what you will encounter."

Lin Piao was so angry that his teeth itched, and threw the medicine bottle into his arms: "Get out, get out, let's see." ”

Li Shoumai grabbed the medicine bottle and walked out, then waved back to him: "We'll see you next time." ”

Lin Piao stared at the door and snorted coldly, and said in his heart that he couldn't restrain this Orion, and when he turned around, he happened to meet Shen Hong's eyes.

He came out of the house, stood there for I don't know how long, and lowered his eyes slightly: "Sister-in-law." ”

When Lin Piao saw him, he almost wanted to catch him and rub him to vent his anger: "They don't allow us to go hunting!" It really doesn't make sense. ”

"Sister-in-law, don't be angry, there will always be a way."

"What can we do, we can't beat them at all, and there is no way to sue the officials for this matter." Lin Piao said and suddenly thought: "I'll ask the chief if there is a way!" As soon as he said go, he turned around and went out to Erzhu's house, and asked the second aunt to accompany him on this trip.

On the way, Lin Piao couldn't help but ask the second aunt what the father and son were coming from.

The second aunt thought carefully for a while: "Although I have been in the village for almost 20 years, after all, I also married in the village, not in the village, anyway, they have been in the mountains as hunters since I married in. Didn't he go hunting to rob the hunters? I thought he had a good relationship with the Orion, but I had been married to him for so many years, and I had never seen him and the Orion go around, in short, it was very strange, I saw that he was dominating the mountain, but I heard that he was originally a person from the village, and the Orion's father was also a hunter, and the village and he were all friends in the womb, and they knew each other since childhood, and they should not want to make trouble with him, so it was up to him, and I was a little worried about this stubble when you first went up the mountain, but I didn't say it. Later, he didn't care if he didn't say anything about your exercise class, and he didn't think he would be angry with a group of you children, but he didn't expect him to be such a thing, and he didn't allow children to go up the mountain to play and play something. ”

The two talked all the way to the door of the chief's house, and it happened that Zhou Xishan was at home because of the afternoon rest for the exercise class, and at this time he was moving farm tools outside the door, and the sun was good today, and all the things were taken out to dry again, and the sun was about to go down just to put it away, and when they saw them coming, they hurriedly put down the work in their hands and patted the ashes on their hands: "Auntie, Lin Piao, come here so suddenly, is there something wrong?" ”

"We're looking for the lieutenant chief, and I want to ask him about something."

"My father has gone to my uncle's house to see the ducks, you two sit down first, and I'll call him back." Zhou Xishan wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead, his originally white face was a little red, he turned around and quickly disappeared on the paved stone path on both sides.

After a while, he helped the lieutenant back with the lieutenant back, and the duckling, still carrying a bamboo cage in his hand, was squeezing and quacking in his tender voice.

The lieutenant came up with a smile on his face: "My little brother hatched a batch of ducks and gave me a few. The chief opened the cage, and the ducklings inside were like soft yellow pompom balls.

"By the way, Xi Shan said that you have something to ask about me?"

Chapter 33

Lin Piao's hand reached into the bamboo cage, and the little duck's fluffy touch felt good, and he looked at the chief while touching the duck.

"Lieutenant Chief, I would like to ask about the hunter on the mountain, why the people in the village cannot go up to the mountain to hunt, is he occupying the mountain and is not allowed to do so, or what agreement did the people in the village have with him before?"

The lieutenant pondered for a moment: "Why did you remember to ask this?" Did you meet them in a class in the mountains recently? ”

Lin Piao told the chief about stepping on the animal trap on the mountain, and the second aunt helped beside him, saying how pitiful it was that Dawang couldn't walk when he came down from the mountain.

The lieutenant suddenly sighed: "So that's the case, he is really unspeakable, he is actually angry with a group of you children, I saw you running up the mountain from time to time, and he never said anything that he thought that the things of the previous generation would not be remembered by the children, just as that incident passed, I didn't expect you to encounter such a thing today." ”

A distracting voice came from the side: "What happened?" ”

Lin Piao turned his head to see that it was the second dog father who was walking up with a hoe, and he walked to the threshold of the lieutenant chief's house and stopped under the dripping eaves: "Lieutenant chief, I have run out of this hoe, and I will put it here for you." ”

When the second aunt saw him, she couldn't help but make a fuss: "Your hoe is really useless, I only heard the second son of a dog say that she wants to repair the hoe two days ago, will it be broken again?" ”

"Wood is not good, I don't know what kind of bad luck I have committed this year, tomorrow I will pick a time to go up the mountain and cut a good piece of wood to use, what are you talking to the chief here, what have you encountered?"

"Ergou didn't tell you?"

"Ergou went out this morning, and now he is not home, it is not that he has not yet eaten dinner, he thinks the food at home is unpalatable, but he does not like to come back to eat."

When the lieutenant saw him coming, he beckoned to him: "Come and sit down, it just so happens that you can also help talk about this matter, it is your brother's business." ”

When the second dog father heard this, he was a little confused: "I have a lot of brothers, and that brother didn't have long eyes to provoke Mr. Shen's door?" ”

"Your brother on the mountain."

The second dog father couldn't say anything witty for a while, scratched his head and stood in place: "Why did you suddenly talk about him, haven't you been in contact for many years?" ”

It can be seen that the second dog father and the hunter on the mountain really have a little friendship, he said that he couldn't get along, but he honestly moved the bench to sit down, and several people formed a loose circle, and the chief looked at him: "Lin Piao met Ah Da on the mountain with his child, and Ah Da did not allow him to take the child to the mountain to hunt again, and they had a conflict. ”

"I don't say it." After all, the three people sitting here, one is the lieutenant chief, one is Lin Piao, and the other is the second sister-in-law, who is in charge of the village, his son, and his son's meal, are all people who are not easy to offend, and they used to hunt rabbits in the mountains, and the rabbits that his son beat were made into pickled pepper rabbits, and they ate half of them at Shen Hong's house, and his son also brought them a bowl in a bowl to taste.

"Actually......" Ergou's father sighed and hung his head: "I really don't know what to say, in the past, Ah Da and we were very good, his father was a hunter in the mountains, and when we were young, he took us to hunt and play with us, and then he ...... To this day, he is a stubborn and has a bad temper, but we are also sorry for him. ”

Lin Piao heard him in a fog, obviously the people in the village and the Orion family had some grievances and pasts, but the second dog father obviously didn't want to say it: "So he didn't allow the people in the village to go up the mountain to hunt?" Or did you not go on your own? ”

"It's all there...... He didn't want to see us, and we were embarrassed to go hunting in the depths of the mountains, and we only moved around the mountain roads, and generally no one could bump into anyone. ”

Lin Piao frowned: "So if he doesn't accept us going up to the mountains to hunt, you will also think that he can accept it, right?" He couldn't figure out why even a bunch of children in the village were angry with Orion, no matter what the people in the village had to do with Orion.

The second dog father hesitated: "Anyway, it's not a big problem to avoid him, so why bother to come to him?" ”

Lin Piao was categorical: "No, the exercise class must be taken." ”

Sport first, rabbit second, such the best of both worlds is impossible to give up.

Ah Da is a strong seed, and the second dog father sees that Lin Piao is also a strong seed, and he suddenly doesn't know what to say, so he can only sigh and be speechless.

The second dog father didn't want to say it, and the lieutenant chief didn't want to say it, but before leaving, the lieutenant saw that Lin Piao's hand was still in the bamboo cage and touched the ducks, so he smiled and said, "Send you two to take back and raise them." ”

"How good is that?"

"Take it away, take it away, don't talk about it for a long time, I don't like to talk about it."

Lin Piaoyu returned home, took only the two ducklings with him, and when he returned home, he put the ducklings into the chicken and duck pen of his second aunt's house.

Then you have to find a new breakthrough, and after the calculation, Lin Piao called a few children to him.

The peculiarity of these children is that their mother or grandfather married in from another village, and they are a few years older than their second aunt, and they have already married into the village before the hunters and the people in the village have fallen out.

Since the men in the village were reluctant to talk about this matter anymore, Lin Piao asked them to go back and quietly ask their mothers, asking them to spread the word in the middle.

The second aunt looked at him in such a big circle: "Ouch, you have worked so hard, but it's a pity that I married two years late, otherwise I will explain to you now." ”

Lin Piao turned his head to look at Uncle Qiu, who was tidying up the firewood on the side: "Uncle Qiu, have you heard of this matter?" ”

Uncle Qiu said bluntly: "The relationship between my man and Orion should not be very good, but he doesn't have a tight mouth, and sometimes he has to talk nonsense after drinking, which may have something to do with Orion's daughter-in-law." ”

Lin Piao still hasn't sorted out the clues, could it be polyamorous? Thinking of Orion's daughter-in-law, thinking of Li Shoumai's unlucky thing, Lin Piao sneered.

"Hmph, I must find out his bottom so that I can see who can stop us from going up the mountain."

The second aunt couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and boasted: "That is, there is nothing we Piao'er can't do yet." ”

"Yes." Uncle Qiu echoed softly, Uncle Qiu stayed with them for a long time, and he didn't want to be silent before, he only knew how to keep his head down and work, and sometimes he would talk to them, and when they chatted, he would also gently echo them.

The three of them chatted for a while, the night became dark, the clouds over the yard dispersed into a gray night, and the children also dispersed and returned home.

"Auntie, do you still have pumpkins at home?"

"Also, I just went to the field today and collected another pile!"

"Let's steam some pumpkin tomorrow morning and eat it."

"Done."

Leaving the second aunt's house, Lin Piao returned to his yard, and as soon as he pushed the door open, he heard the sound of the door shaft turning gently, and it was Shen Hong who heard the sound and came out of the house.

Today, after running around outside for a day because of Orion's affairs, and arguing with his second aunt about this matter, Lin Piao has always come home early, and rarely comes back so late.

Shen Hong closed the door behind him, stood under the eaves with a candlestick in his hand, the candle flame was reflected on the small bamboo cover, and the light jumped on his immature side face as soon as the wind blew and the light went out and jumped.

Lin Piao looked at him in surprise: "What's wrong?" Waiting for me? ”

"The newly collected firewood is piled up by the wall, and it is getting dark, so my sister-in-law pays attention to her feet."

Lin Piao glanced in the dark, and by that little light, he saw the outline of the pile of firewood by the wall outside his room.

"I know, I'll go in now, and you can go back to your room and rest."

Shen Hong stood there, waiting for Lin Piao to enter the door by the light, and the door creaked and closed softly, before turning around with the lamp and candle, and silently returned to his room to continue reading, turning the pages one by one under the light of the candlelight.

Lin Piao returned to the house, because after running up and down the mountain, as soon as he lay down, the feeling of tiredness suddenly surged, and he fell asleep after lying on the kang for a while.

Early the next morning, Lin Piao was worried about letting the students go home to inquire about Orion, and woke up at dawn, got up and put on neat clothes and pushed open the door, and saw Shen Hong sitting under the eaves reading a book as always.

"Shen Hong, morning."

"Sister-in-law, morning."

Lin Piao fetched the well water to wash in the yard, the well water was already a little chilly in this weather, but he should wake up and could barely wash for a while.

After washing, Lin Piao wiped his face: "Shen Hong, come over for breakfast." ”

"Okay."

The two of them walked into the second aunt's house one after the other, and there were already a few children sitting at the table munching on sweet potatoes, and there was a pile of broken eggshells on the table, apparently having eaten the eggs first.

One of the children stood up as soon as he saw Lin Piao: "Little sister-in-law! I asked about yesterday! ”

Lin Piao's eyes lit up when he took the hot egg that had just been taken out of the pot: "You say." ”

"I heard my mother say that the Orion family had a daughter-in-law who died when they gave birth to a son, and they made a feud."

"That's it?"

"Oh yes, that's what my mother said."

Lin Piao patted his head, he shouldn't have too high expectations for this group of little cubs, they could understand the twists and turns between adults: "Okay, you eat quickly, and you will have a good lesson later." ”

After a while, the children came one after another, and one of them was led by his mother, and when he saw Lin Piao, he let go of the child and greeted him: "Piao'er, I heard my cub say that you want to know about Orion?" ”

Lin Piao's eyes lit up again, he himself was here, and this time he should be able to hear something real: "Yes, I want to know what happened to Orion and the people in the village, why he didn't let the people in the village go up to the mountains to hunt, why the people in the village wanted to listen to him, auntie, you told me." ”

The aunt gave him a look: "Let's sit down and talk, don't affect the child's breakfast." ”

The two of them each moved a small pony and sat on the other side of the stove, and began a serious exchange amid the sound of a bunch of chickens and ducks rattling.

"Let me tell you, it's been so many years, if you don't ask, I'll really forget it, you know the previous paragraph, right? There are very few men of Orion's generation in our village who have not played with him, and everyone is like a brother, but in fact, the old Orion's father also forbade him to associate with the people in the village. ”

"It's not long, it's not long, auntie, you say it slowly."

Uncle Qiu brought them two bowls of hot water, and Lin Piao's lips were on the edge of the bowl, while sipping hot water, while listening to this stinky and long country feud, there are stories about Li Shoumai's father and Li Shoumai's grandfather.

"The old hunter's father didn't live in the mountains, he used to live in the village, the old hunter's father died when he was a child, his mother was a widow, and his father's brother came to the door and drove them out and took their property. I couldn't go back to my mother's house with my children, and finally I had no choice but to find a place to live on the mountain, and at first I built a small cabin, and then I grew up to build a bamboo house and learn to hunt, but after so many years of eating and sleeping in the open air, his mother and a woman could not survive for a long time, and died of cold in a few years. ”

Lin Piao hissed in his heart, a little tricky.
