The sky soon darkened, Tian Yao heated the chicken soup left at noon, he saw that Yu Nian didn't eat steamed buns, and he was a little puzzled: "Why don't you eat steamed buns, there are several." ”

Yu Nian just took the corn nest he had left over from today, broke it up and put it in the soup, and then ate it in one go.

After eating, it was also dark, Tian Yao just lit an oil lamp, and still didn't forget to soak his feet in hot water.

Yu Nian was also used to it, he heard Tian Yao ask him if he knew what Nanmu looked like, he didn't know what Tian Yao was using asking this, he didn't speak, just asked him to find charcoal and draw Nanmu's appearance.

It was drawn in the blank space at the back of the booklet that his little daddy had left for him.

"You're so good at drawing." Tian Yao looked under the oil lamp, he was just the cheapest charcoal, and with a few strokes, he could draw both god and shape.

Yu Nian didn't think so, the things he painted, compared with the paintings in front of this booklet, he only had skills, no feelings, and those in front of him were a father's worries about his child's slim future.

Tian Yao still lay beside him heartlessly, talking about what he was going to do tomorrow, he was still in order before, but then he was really sleepy, talking about Aunt Zhang's eggs for a while, and the village chief's cattle for a while, and then there was no sound.

Yu Nian also got used to his extremely fast falling asleep, and slowly closed his eyes.

After two days of rest, his body was much better than before, so he no longer needed so much sleep, but when he woke up in the morning, there was no temperature on the other side of the bed, and Tian Yao had already gotten up.

The room was quiet, Yu Nian sat up against the head of the bed, Tian Yao heard the movement, and entered the room with an oil lamp: "Why did you get up so early?" It's only midday, and it's still early. ”

"What about you?"

Tian Yao's eyes lit up, this was the first time he had spoken to himself in addition to caring about the dog: "I have to go up the mountain to fetch firewood." ”

He sat on the edge of the bed as he spoke, his legs wrapped around his hands, his sleeves were tied up, and his hair that was originally loose was tied up, and he stood up: "It's autumn soon, it's better to have more firewood in winter, and by the way, try your luck again, can you have any bigger prey." ”

"It's not dawn yet." Yu Nian said.

"I used to go up the mountain at this hour." Tian Yao was ready, and breakfast was brought to the bedside for him, "I shouldn't be back very early today, so you may only be able to eat some cold steamed buns at noon, and wait for me to come back in the evening to cook." ”

Yu Nian nodded.

Before Tian Yao left, he took Yu Nian to the thatched house again, solved the physiological problem, and then squatted on the ground and nodded his gray nose: "Hurry up and grow up, guard your father, don't let people bully him." ”

Yu Nian heard it clearly in the room, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

The mountain behind Huailing Village is extremely vast, Tian Yao followed his father many times through the mountain road when he was a child, and when he was close to the deep mountains, his father no longer let him in, saying that there were fierce beasts in it, and it would be very dangerous.

So later, when his parents died, Tian Yao went to do odd jobs to earn money at first, and rarely went to the mountains to hunt, and then he couldn't do odd jobs, so he went up the mountains to hunt some small animals, pick some herbs, and occasionally go to the town to change money.

Since the last incident, he lost all his savings, and only went more into the mountains, but he didn't go into the mountains, just wandered on the edge, but it was not without gains, he used to see the footprints of large animals over there.

When he went home, he compared it with the booklet at home, which should be the footprints of a wild boar.

He had never hunted such a big wild animal before, because he didn't seem to need to take such a big risk to hunt large animals, but now that he has a family, and the family is a place to use money, buying land can be slowed down, Yu Nian's wheelchair is the top priority at present, so he decided to try his luck at the place where he had seen the footprints of wild boars before.

At least this year, I want to be able to earn money for a wheelchair for Yu Nian, with a wheelchair, Yu Nian can move freely when he is not there, and he will not go hungry.

The more you go into the mountains, the cooler the surroundings become, Tian Yao has always liked to travel lightly, and he only carried two steamed buns and a firewood knife.

The wild fruit on the tree is ripe and falls to the ground, it should have been a sweet and greasy aroma, but it has been rancid at this time, Tian Yao feels a little pity, every time my father goes up the mountain in the past, when it comes to the fruit period of this wild fruit, he will bring a lot to their grandfather when he goes home, since his father died, he has not eaten this wild fruit for a long time.

Tian Yao rested, and then walked inside, it was the deep mountains that the people of Huailing Village had never been to.

At this time, although the sun was already high, but the mountain could not feel the warm daylight, only the light of the stars from the shade of the trees, Tian Yao looked up, and felt that the huge shadow of the tree was like a starry night sky at this time.

There are not only some pine and cypress trees in the deep mountains, but also some trees that Tian Yao doesn't know, he thinks that if Yu Nian can come into the mountains, he must know what kind of trees these are.

He walked to the place where he had seen the footprints of a wild boar before, and it was no different from the ordinary jungle, and he hid himself in a large bush, quietly observing the movement around him, and he even breathed lightly.

He had been lying here for almost a day today, and he had not gained anything, and seeing that it was already dark, he made a mark in this position before going down the mountain.

When I went back, I chopped a bundle of firewood and brought it back.

Yu Nian was still the same, sitting on the bed, with nothing to entertain, just looking at the pamphlet left by his little father.

Tian Yao pulled the blades of grass on his body and talked to Yu Nian by the bed for a while.

Tian Yao waited for three days in that position on the mountain, and finally waited for something unusual, when he went up the mountain on the fourth day, he saw the footprints again.

The mud around the footprints was still wet, and he could know that it had just passed by here not long ago, Tian Yao held his breath, and following these footprints, he clenched the firewood knife in his hand.

He followed the footprints, going deeper and deeper into the mountains, there was not even a tiny sound of insects chirping in the jungle, and the loudest sound Tian Yao could hear was his own breathing.

It's so quiet, but it's a little abnormal.

He already felt that there was a gaze staring at him behind him, Tian Yao even slowed down his breathing a lot, the moment he looked back, the bulky body of the wild boar had already hit him, Tian Yao stood in place and did not move, one hand clenched into a fist, and struck hard, the wild boar crashed straight into his hand, but when it touched his fist, he wailed and crashed into the big tree on the side.

Tian Yao only felt that his finger was about to be cracked, and there were already blood marks on it, and after the wild boar wailed, it crashed towards Tian Yao again.

Tian Yao felt that his whole body was hot, and all the blood in his body rushed to his hands and the top of his head.

He couldn't remember what his father had said about what to pay attention to when dealing with prey larger than his size, and he just threw a punch with all his might when the boar attacked again.

The boar crashed into the tree, and the wail resounded through the forest.

Tian Yao realized that he must fight quickly, wild boars are social animals, and if one suffers, they will definitely appear in groups later.

Tian Yao didn't catch his breath, he followed directly, and slashed at the neck of the wild boar, the heavy smell of blood hit, he gasped, he didn't have time to clean up his body, he picked up the pig that was still steaming, and walked out of the deep mountain without looking back.

When he got out of the deep mountains, Tian Yao could already see the smoke rising from the homes of the people in the village on the mountain, and he was truly relieved.

The wild boar was placed on the ground, shaking up the dust on the ground, Tian Yao realized that he had really killed a wild boar, the wild boar's fur was hard and piercing, the long fangs were terrifying in the cold night, and there was saliva on the side of his mouth.

Along the way, there were still blood stains dripping from the wild boar he carried.

Tian Yao was taken aback, remembering what his father had said, he couldn't let the beasts on the mountain know the way back to the village, and he went all the way, the blood of the wild boar dripped here, if the beast knew the way down the mountain, it would be the evil he created.

Tian Yao rested for a while, it was already dark, he put the wild boar on the side of the road, turned around and rushed back with a firewood knife.

With the sound of small insects on the side of the road, as well as the sound of the wind passing through the forest and the sound of the leaves ringing, Tian Yao felt furious in his heart, but this was caused by him, and he wanted to clean up the aftermath.

Walking to the junction of the shallow mountains and the deep mountains, Tian Yao took off his coat stained with the blood of wild boars and himself, and threw it on the other side of the road away from the village.

He used a firewood knife to turn over the place stained with the blood of the wild boar, completely covering up the bloodstains, thinking that he would go up the mountain again tomorrow to completely remove these smells.

Yu Nian watched the sky gradually darken, but there was no footsteps of Tian Yao going home, a few days ago, the sun was setting westward, Tian Yao had already returned, although his face was disappointed, but he still cheered up, saying that hunting is like this, sometimes there is no harvest for ten days and half a month.

It was already dark today, and the last ray of sunlight moved away from the window, and Tian Yao was still nowhere to be seen.

In the past, he heard from his subordinates that ordinary hunters want to go hunting, and they come in groups of three or five, and they have to go home when it is late whether they have a harvest or not, because the mountains and forests at night are even more dangerous.

What's more, Tian Yao is still a brother.

Yu Nian didn't know how many times he looked out of the door, Ash Ash reacted faster than him, and immediately got up and ran to the door, it smelled the smell of blood on Tian Yao's body, and jumped up and down around him.

"Alright, alright." Tian Yao's voice reached Yu Nian's ears, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Tian Yao was already a little exhausted, this wild boar was four hundred pounds, he carried it all the way back, even if his strength was great, he felt a little out of strength at this time.

Throwing the wild boar in the yard, he still remembered that Yu Nian had been in the house all day today, and he climbed into the house almost with his hands and feet, and finally leaned against the door panel, and no longer had the strength to go forward.

"What's wrong with you?" When Yu Nian entered the door, he smelled the strong smell of blood on his body, and under the oil lamp, he saw the long blood marks on Tian Yao's neck, and his face was also a little swollen.

Tian Yao leaned against the door and gasped, and he wanted to ask him for credit: "I came back from a wild boar." ”

He got up, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, gesturing with his hands: "It's the first time I've encountered such a big wild boar." ”

"Hurt?" Yu Nian looked at the coat on his body and disappeared, and the joints of his fingers were also bruised, and the most serious was on his neck, where blood had stained his white middle coat red.

"Injuries are inevitable." Tian Yao's voice was a little quieter, obviously tired to the extreme, "You wait for me to rest for a while, and then I'll cook for you." ”

Yu Nian's heart trembled, and then he handed him the steamed bun that he hadn't eaten at noon from the bedside: "Don't cook, eat this." ”

Tian Yao raised his head, his body reacted before his brain, and he had already taken it and swallowed it in a gulp.

"Why haven't you eaten? Did you eat the morning one? Tian Yao licked his lips, feeling that his empty body had a little more strength.

"I don't move much all day, I'm not hungry."

Tian Yao smiled, after two or three days, Yu Nian finally communicated with him normally.

"Let me rest a little longer." He didn't lean back on the bed, afraid that he would get dirty, "I have to wash it well." ”

After Tian Yao finally recovered a little strength, he took a deep breath before getting up: "If you are not hungry, you have to eat something, you probably didn't have a meal before, and my father said that it was easy to hurt my spleen and stomach." ”

Tian Yao first boiled the water and simply ordered a bowl of noodles, this time it was better than the last time, at least Yu Nian ate it all.

He was so lazy that he didn't wash the dishes immediately, he washed himself first, put on a thin middle coat, and returned to bed with a body of moisture.

Yu Nian looked at him, the wound on his neck had been washed with water, and the bloody scab that had just formed had been washed away, revealing light pink flesh.

Yu Nian looked at his face, and there were some abrasions on his cheeks, as well as on his hands.

I don't know how such a brother as him, when facing the wild boar that ordinary hunters would be afraid of, escaped and killed the wild boar and brought it back.

"Tian Yao, get up and get some medicine." Yu Nian pushed Tian Yao, and he impatiently removed Yu Nian's hand.

"Don't, Yu Nian, I'm so sleepy, don't talk."

In the dark, Yu Nian smelled the smell of blood mixed with the smell of acacia on Tian Yao's body, and he wanted to try to move his legs, but found that it was only in vain.

A deep sense of powerlessness haunted him.
