Chapter 8: The Days
Yanshu nodded obediently, the sun shone on the faces of the two people at the entrance of the cave, the happiness of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, that is only known to those who have experienced it, inexplicably let the two look at each other and smile, cover up the smell, do a good job of camouflage, and the two slipped into the forest in front.
Traveling all the way, crossing the mountains and lying on the river, avoiding the fierce beasts, after more than ten days of long-distance travel, finally returned to the Wang clan without danger, fortunately there is a Wang fence to take care of, otherwise a five-year-old child with words and books, there is no possibility of survival, even if it is a Wang fence who is familiar with the mountains and forests, there are several dangers.
After a brief conversation on the road, Wang Fence probably knew that Yanshu should be a slave in the kingdom, and he was also the kind of mortal, otherwise how could he let a child about five years old enter this dangerous Blue Feather Forest alone.
Wang Fence also said that the girl who sent the book of words was going to kill him, but the book never believed it, and the beautiful and kind figure seemed to be engraved in the mind of the book, like a symbol of warmth, which could not be dissipated.
Returning to the tribe and simply placing the words, Wang Fence immediately made the Qi Demon Anther.
The Wang clan is not large, the scale of the tribe is more than 100 households, the domed wooden houses are the majority, surrounded by mountains on three sides, the road is rugged and difficult to travel, and the tribe is very martial.
Therefore, even if Wang Fence is one of the few doctors in the tribe, he is still not valued by the tribe, he is thirty-four or five people, and he still has no spouse, and he wants to get married in the tribe, especially men, it is not that you can be looked down upon if you look good, after all, the resources are limited, even if both parties are interested, the marriage matter still has to be discussed and decided by the patriarch.
Yunyun is always related to the place where the tribe lives, whoever lives in this 20 million miles of blue feather forest, without force, how can there be resources for survival, survival of the fittest, nothing more than that.
However, although it is said that Wang Fence is not welcomed in the tribe, there is still an advantage to following Wang Fence in Yanshu, that is, Wang Fence is also one of the few literate and learned people in the tribe.
With an old bachelor, it is conceivable that the next days will not have a good life, Yanshu was arranged to live in a small firewood house, like a wild child, but he was also a wild child.
Wang Fence is instructed by the patriarch day by day, it is rare to be idle, and he will not be too attentive to Yanshu, and it is common to not have enough food and clothing, and sometimes he goes out for three or five days and does not return, and Yanshu has to go out alone to eat hard in the field of neighboring tribes.
Yan Shu saw that some clansmen were using some traps to catch small beasts, and he did the same, after all, he was a five-year-old child, even after more than half a year of learning to improve the trap, but it had little effect, and he often couldn't catch a small beast for a month.
One day when winter was about to fall, there was finally a burst of luck, Yanshu caught a larger pig beast, but was ordered by other greedy clansmen to hand it over and occupy it.
Of course, he didn't dare to resist at a young age, so he could only watch the harvest being snatched away, and over time, it became a habit for adults and children in that tribe to bully him.
Here, survival is the first factor, especially in the winter when there is a lack of food, and few people will pity the childishness of the words. And Wang Fence won't care about these things, and even if he does, he doesn't have the strength.
Soon it will be winter, and it will be even more difficult in winter, the trap will not catch the pig and the little beast, there will be less food, there is not even a warm clothes, Yanshu's ears, hands, feet, frozen purple, with a big frozen bag, every step is painful, Wang Fence does not allow Yanshu to bake the fire when he is alone at home, so as not to burn the house, but Wang Fence is not at home for more and more time.
Sometimes, when I go out, it takes about ten days, and when I come back, I hurriedly leave some rations and go out again, and the days of starvation and cold are even more.
Unable to find food, in order to reduce consumption, Yanshu often spread thick hay after eating something, and hid in the firewood room, which was his bed, which was really not warm, and even several times, the people in the clan also looked at Yanshu trembling in the room through the gap in the firewood room, betting that he was dead.
Yanshu still wondered if Wang Fence hated him so he was always not at home. It wasn't until a long time later that Yanshu understood why.
In the first year, he survived like this. In the second year, Yanshu is already six years old, and has some experience in life, the trap is done well, the efficiency of the beast is better, and occasionally three small beasts can be captured in a month, and the little pig beast that was captured, slaughtered into pieces, and used some precious mountain salt to touch the scale, and smoked it for later use, which was taught by Wang Fence.
Catch some gray rabbit beasts will also try to peel down, from scratch, accumulate a lot, save enough fur, bring some cured meat, let the neighbor's lady help sew a fur clothes for the king fence or something, full of happiness, is to come to the first fur clothes.
It's another year in a blink of an eye, seeing that it's almost winter again, leather clothes, leather pants, leather hats, leather boots, all year round, words and books have also become a line, back and forth, the neighbor Nie Auntie also pitied him, and even didn't accept his meat to help him make clothes, but these were a little indignant in the eyes of Nie Auntie's eldest son Wang Dashan.
In the winter of this year, Yanshu ate the cured meat he had saved, wore his hard-earned fur clothes, and his heart was always happy.
Of course, in addition to his daily life, Wang Fence will also let Yanshu read some words, identify some herbs and simple pill making.
Even the task of collecting medicine from some tribes, not too dangerous places let Yanshu do it for him, after all, Wang Fence wanted to spare more time.
For these things, the neighbor Aunt Nie nagged Wang Fence a lot, saying that the child was too young to do this, but Yanshu always said that these were what he should do, and he always completed it well.
And as Yanshu helps Wang Fence do more and more things, I don't know if it's too good to play middle-aged or what, Wang Fence's original thin body is getting stronger and stronger, and when he is in a good mood, he will also raise Yanshu high or something, and Yanshu can also experience this intimate atmosphere a little.
In the third year, Yanshu was seven years old, and the children of the original tribe who were six years old needed to receive body refining training, but Yanshu was an outsider, and the tribe didn't care at all, and Wang Fence was not willing to make peace, so he didn't have that opportunity.
In the concept of people gathering like and things in groups, Yanshu has unexpectedly become an outlier, and as his origin is spread in the tribe, what "there is no one to raise", "wild seeds from outside", and so on are buckled on the head of Yanshu.
Those children who have practiced three or two hands and have nowhere to try their hands are naturally indispensable to practice their hands on Yanshu, and Yanshu, who is timid in front of them and has no one behind them, does not dare to fight back, and can only be beaten again and again.
Often bruised, licking injuries alone, Wang Fence also found Yanshu's injuries every now and then, but he thinks that it is normal for children to fight, so he doesn't care, fortunately, Yanshu has just understood pharmacology, and the injuries on that body can also be adjusted by himself.
However, in the winter when Yanshu was ten years old, something very outrageous happened. On a snowy day, the group of boys who had completed the military training bullied him again, not only beating him to a blue nose and swollen face, dislocating one arm, but also forcibly pulling out the only warm fur clothes on his body, and throwing the fur clothes that Yanshu had managed to get together on the ground and rubbing them.
Speaking of this, it is also related to Aunt Nie who makes clothes, Nie Auntie has a son and a daughter under her knees, and her daughter Wang Xiaofang is the same age as Yanshu, she is also a kind and lovely little girl, and she can also play with Yanshu, but her son Wang Dashan is indeed a strong donkey, always thinking that his mother made clothes for others, and did not give him the best, and made trouble every once in a while, and threatened to break Yanshu's leg many times.
originally thought it was a joke between children, even if it was a fight, it wouldn't be too much, but this time, Wang Dashan, together with the patriarch's son Wang Zhenjiang and several patriarch's sons, really beat Yanshu miserably, and stripped Yanshu of his clothes.
"If you dare to pick it up today, I will kill you!" Wang Zhenjiang threatened.
Yanshu shivered in the snow with cold, and was tortured for a long time, if it wasn't for the adults passing by to relieve the siege, he might have frozen to death in the snow today.
His hands were clasped in front of his chest, shivering, the pain in his body made him stagger, and the cold weather made him unable to move an inch until he wanted to freeze, and he returned to his small firewood room naked, and was about to make a fire, but was hit by Wang Fence who was coming back from outside.
"Hehe, fence...... Uncle, in the pot...... There is a stewed ...... Bacon, room ...... Also...... There is cleaning! Yan Shu laughed twice and said respectfully.
Wang Fence sighed lightly and said, "Come on, come to my room." After saying that, he pulled the book and walked towards the room.
I feel that Wang Fence's hand is strangely warm, and I don't know if it's because I'm frozen or what, that hand is really warm.
