Tian Yao took advantage of the night to go up to the mountain behind his house, which was a treasure and had everything in it.

Tian Yao's father, Tian Ming, was a hunter before his death, and he often said to Tian Yao that he should remain in awe of the mountain god and accept the gifts given by the mountain with a grateful heart.

He walked into the trap he made before, and there was indeed a wilted pheasant in it, maybe he was hungry these days, and he was very thin, usually if he had this kind of harvest, he would send it to the town to sell it for money, and today this chicken is so thin, so take it home to Yu Nian to replenish his body.

He put the pheasant in the basket and continued to walk deep into the mountains, wanting to see if there could be any other harvest.

His father is Orion, and he learned all his hunting skills from his father, although his little father often said that there are no brothers hunting, but he did not stop them.

Fortunately, his father taught him, otherwise he would have starved to death or been eaten by those ill-intentioned people to the point that there would be no bones left.

The sky is about to be bright, and the forest is quiet, but Tian Yao is not afraid, he has been running in this mountain since he was a child, and even in the mountains is more comfortable than at home.

Autumn came, and the animals came out less, so Tian Yao only caught two rabbits, but the last hazel mushroom and other mountain mushrooms picked up a lot.

Seeing that there was nothing to gain, Tian Yao thought that he would go to the town today, so he simply didn't wait and prepared to go down the mountain directly.

Walking to the mountainside, on the way back to the village, he heard a few dog barks, which were very faint. Tian Yao came closer to see that it was a dog sticking out its tongue and panting. Next to it, there was a small milk dog, which was chubby compared to its skinny skinny.

The big dog was dying, Tian Yao took a closer look, and found that its stomach and limbs were covered with bloody wounds, Huailing Mountain was very large, and there were wolves in the deepest mountains. The gray fur of the little milk dog is stained with a lot of blood and leaf dust, I don't know how the big dog protects it and raises it so fat.

It lay on the ground, staring at Tian Yao with a pair of round eyes, Tian Yao's heart softened, and under the pleading gaze of the big dog, he picked up the little milk dog.

The big dog seemed to have exhausted the last of its strength, slowly moved over, and gently licked Tian Yao's hand, Tian Yao put the puppy in front of it again, it licked the puppy again, and finally closed its eyes.

Looking at the eyes before he died, Tian Yao really couldn't let the puppy fend for himself in the mountains and forests, take it back, and be a companion with Yu Nian, just one more mouth to eat, it's not a big deal, after raising it, you can still take care of the family and nursing home, maybe you can go up the mountain to hunt with you in the future, but it's not too much of a loss.

Tian Yao put the puppy next to him, dug a pit with his own firewood knife and buried the big dog, and then carried the puppy down the mountain.

He smiled, there are already two more people in the house, and it will be more lively in the future, which is good.

When he returned home, he first went to the room to take a look at Yu Nian, Yu Nian fell asleep again, he didn't bother him, found a few clothes that he didn't wear, made a nest for the puppy, and gave it some water to drink.

Yu Nian was already sleeping lightly, and when he heard him come back, he opened his eyes.

Tian Yao handed the dog to him as if offering a treasure: "I found you a companion, and when I am not at home, let it accompany you." ”

Yu Nian glanced at the dog in his hand, it looked different from ordinary dogs, and he recognized it at a glance, this was a wolf dog, just because it was young, so it looked a little docile and well-behaved.

"I just picked it up on the mountain, the big dog is gone, so I brought it back with me and kept you company." Tian Yao washed his hands, "I'm going to town, do you want to sit outside for a while?" ”

Yu Nian nodded, and Tian Yao hugged him down and let him sit on the rocking chair he usually likes to sit on: "It's half an hour away from the town, I'll come back soon, are you sure you don't want to solve it?" ”

Yu Nian's expressionless face collapsed rarely, Tian Yao saw that the roots of his ears were a little red, and despite his refusal, he forcibly took him to the thatched house and helped him solve it.

After Tian Yao helped him, he found two skins from the house on the side, which were dealt with when his father was alive, and he originally wanted to use them when he got married, make beds or do other things, but at this time, the family was too poor, so he could only sell them first and use them for emergency.

Before he left, he put the kettle and bowl in a place where Yu Nian could reach it, and said, "If you are hungry, you can bear with me, I will walk quickly, and I will cook again when I come back." ”

At this time, the sky was bright, and the breeze fell on this small courtyard with the sun, Tian Yao moved him to the yard with a chair, put a blanket on his lap, and moved the little milk dog's nest to his lap.

"Take good care of your home." Tian Yao went out, and he didn't know who he was saying this to.

Huailing Village is not too far from the town, and Tian Yao's footsteps are fast, so it didn't take much time to get to the town, there are always so many people in the town, Tian Yao walked several alleys before he found a store that collects skins.

The boss is familiar with Tian Yao, and Daddy Tian used to sell skins here, so the boss was not surprised to see Tian Yao coming.

"Boss, do you still take the skin?" Tian Yao put his rolled up leather in front of the boss.

The boss unfolded it carefully, and this look was not Tian Yao's craftsmanship: "This is what your father did before his death, right?" ”

Tian Yao nodded, a little embarrassed.

"I've been hungry for your father's skins for a long time, and I can finally pick them up once, right?" The boss took the money box over, "I know your difficulties, it's not easy to keep it for so long, and I definitely won't lose you in terms of price." ”

The boss is a sincere person, and the skin made by Tian's father is too good, so he directly gave him five taels of silver, Tian Yao took the money, knowing that the price given by the boss was really not low, and gave a gray-haired rabbit to the boss as an additive.

He took the money and looked back several times before taking a deep breath and leaving the store.

Five taels of silver is not much, but it is not too much, Tian Yao crossed his fingers and counted the things he wanted to buy, bought two sets of clothes for Yu Nian, and the seasonings at home were gone, and there were many bits and pieces of household that also needed to be bought.

Tian Yao's father Tian Ming was not born and raised in Huailing Village, he fled here, and later married a little father who was also a refugee, and finally settled in Huailing Village, so he did not get the field, naturally their food was bought, but even if there is no land, they also need to pay taxes, those who have fields are according to the output of the fields, fifty taxes one, and those who do not have fields will pay taxes according to the population of the family.

Tian Yao's silver taels, originally wanted to build two more houses, save for another two years, buy a few acres of land, although he can't farm, but he can find someone to help plant and harvest, the big deal is to pay some wages, but that is also his own foundation.

Fortunately, the tax had already been paid before he lost money, otherwise it would have been really difficult.

It's a pity that all the money he has saved has been lost, Tian Yao thought that he should go deeper into the mountains again, and if he can catch other prey, at least a few more taels of silver can be credited to the account, so that this winter can pass.

Tian Yao went to the ready-to-wear store and saw two ready-to-wear clothes, the colors were bright and the fabric was soft, but it was expensive, Tian Yao thought about it, it was better to buy cloth and go to the village to find the aunts to make it, it was much cheaper and cost-effective, and the remaining materials could be used for other purposes.

He chose a cloth that was not bright in color, but soft and comfortable to the touch, and after bargaining with the shopkeeper for a long time, he finally relented the boss and bought two pieces of cloth for a tael of silver.

Then he bought some groceries, and spent about a tael of silver, and when he left the town with a basket on his back, he saw the carpenter's workshop on the way.

He walked in and asked, "How many silver taels does it cost to make a wheelchair convenient for people with inconvenient legs?" ”

The carpenter was planing wood flowers, and when he heard Tian Yao's question, he stopped what he was doing and found the album in the store: "That's what you're talking about, right?" ”

Tian Yao leaned over and looked at the picture, imagined Yu Nian sitting in a wheelchair, and nodded heavily.

"This workmanship must be fine, I only did it once for the lord of Fucheng many years ago, and the asking price at that time was ten taels of silver."

Tian Yao made a plan in his heart: "If I provide wood, can it be cheaper?" ”

"The materials are secondary, you know, this thing is mainly for workmanship, and I am the only one in the whole town who can do it."

Tian Yao pursed his lips: "It can always be cheaper, right?" ”

"If you really want it, if you bring wood yourself, I will count you nine taels of silver."

Tian Yao sighed, it was also very expensive, it seemed that it was better to make more money.

Tian Yao asked again: "What kind of material is better?" Be strong and durable. ”

"The material of the furniture is mostly made of nanmu, which is easy to operate and not easy to perish."

Tian Yao nodded: "Okay, thank you, when I find all the wood, I'll come and pay the deposit." ”

The carpenter waved at him.

Tian Yao thought of the back mountain, there were many pine and cypress trees in the deep mountain forest, and he really hadn't seen the nanmu that the carpenter said, but he thought that Yu Nian should know, just go back and ask him.

On the way back, he walked faster, from the town back to Huailing Village, there was an ox cart, and he could take the car for two pennies, Tian Yao was still a little reluctant, he still carried his back basket, and hurried home quickly.

From the morning to now, it is estimated that Yu Nian will be hungry and have to hurry home.

When he arrived at the door, he heard the little milk dog still barking softly, mixed with some insults that could not be heard very well, Tian Yao hurriedly entered the yard, and saw Yu Nian being overturned on the ground, and the blanket on his cover Yu Nian was trampled on and covered with dust.

Tian Yao shouted, opened the door, there was a big man with his back to him, at this time he was talking to Yu Nian who he didn't understand, he was angry, he raised his foot and kicked at the man, he didn't have a little strength, and the big man was kicked away directly by him, and hit his brick house hard.

Seeing that his companion was injured, the other person came to Tian Yao, Tian Yao grabbed his wrist, raised his hand and threw it, and also threw the person against the brick wall, and the two of them rolled together in pain.

Tian Yao put down the basket on his back and rolled up his sleeves: "The person who came to my house to bully me?" Don't want to live anymore? ”

He had never learned to fight, and every move and style was used with brute force, and there was no rule at all, but it was like this, and the two of them couldn't fight at all.

Seeing that Tian Yao was about to knock out the teeth of the two of them, Yu Nian spoke up: "Tian Yao, don't fight, if you fight again, you will die." ”

Tian Yao retracted his strength and got up from the two of them: "Don't get out of here!" ”

The two endured the pain and scolded and walked out of the courtyard gate of his house.

Tian Yao was still angry, but he still helped Yu Nian up from the ground first, and patted the dust on his body: "Are you okay?" Did they beat you? ”

Thinking about it, he couldn't get Yu Nian's answer, Tian Yao got on directly, looked Yu Nian up and down, and didn't find any injuries on his body, so he put his mind at ease.

Yu Nian remembered the way he had just fought, and understood a little more why this was a brother who couldn't get married.
