Chapter 298: Spoils of War
"Yes, your sister does have a vision, otherwise how could she create such an excellent you, your sister doesn't know how happy she will be when she hears it. Mo Jingyan laughed.
"Brother-in-law, have you ever thought about it, when Xiao Nianwu grows up, what will he do, will he go to the capital to be an official, or be a chivalrous and righteous knight?"
"Children and grandchildren have their own children, we will not interfere with them much, and when the time comes, he will decide for himself, and we parents will give him some advice. Mo Jingyan pondered for a moment and sighed faintly.
Lu Wu suddenly realized the bitterness and helplessness of being a parent, the child needs to be taught well, but the path the child will take in the future, he has to choose by himself.
There are a lot of wild fruits on the mountain, and some of them dare not eat them.
In the mountains, the water is clear, the wind is gentle and simple, and the winding and steep mountain roads have become a lot easier to walk because of the beautiful scenery along the way.
At this time, Lu Wu knew why his sister's family liked to go to the mountains for a walk when they had nothing to do, it turned out that the wind here can blow away people's filth, and the cool water here can purify people's tired hearts.
Lu Wu walked all the way here, feeling that this happiness had been surrounding him, and his heart was suddenly as tough as a tall mountain peak, and as pure as flowing mountain spring water.
The mountain road winds and steeps the higher you go, with grass, wildflowers, and trees on both sides, high and low, staggered. The scenery is still undiminished, but without good physical strength, I am afraid it is difficult to climb up, and if I climb down, I am afraid that it may not come down before dark.
But for people like Mo Jingyan and Lu Wu who are very good at kung fu, it is a trivial matter.
The green grass was knee-high, or waist-high. In the grass, there were crickets and crickets that kept barking, and Lu Wu suddenly picked up the grass on a whim and began to catch crickets and crickets.
After a while, he caught three crickets and three crickets, and Lu Wu was satisfied with tying them together with straw ropes.
"Haha! This time you're worms on a rope, and no one can escape. Lu Wu looked at the few little insects who were trying to struggle childishly, and said with a smile.
"You wait for me first, I'll go find something. Mo Jingyan looked at the crickets and crickets in Lu Wu's hands, and couldn't help but have an idea.
"Okay, brother-in-law, come back soon, I'll just rest for a while. Lu Wu smiled and agreed.
It's already at the top of the mountain, and the scenery below the mountain is also unique. The fog had just lifted, and the nearby villages were already in view.
The picturesque scenery makes this man who has been fighting and killing for many years feel soft in his heart. I like it more and more.
Mo Jingyan has been looking for a material to make a gnather cage along the way-rush grass. Suddenly he saw rushes growing on the ridges of the fields, and he immediately stepped forward to smoke eight long, green and shiny lantern plants, and then put them in the creek to soften them, wash the soil on them, and prepare to go back for later use. Mo Jingyan held a handful of rush grass and rushed back excitedly.
"So fast, what kind of treasure are you looking for? Let me see?" Lu Wu hurriedly stepped forward to take a look. "Lanterns, I haven't seen this thing in years. Lu Wu said in surprise.
"Last year, I saw your sister weave a gnather cage with this thing, and it was very beautiful, and I want to try it today. Mo Jingyan rarely leaks his childish side, and he is serious. Lu Wu's face was incredulous, the noble man in front of him would actually make up that thing?
First align the two wicks, cut off the fibrous roots, and then use the other two rushes to cross them on top to form a 'ten' figure that is two ends long and two ends short, and then use another four rushes to align them in pairs.
Rack on it all at once. In this way, the bottom of the cage is circled, and then it continues to wrap around. This kind of winding, continuous winding, although the action is rusty, but it can be seen that the memory is super strong. Not to mention that he is a new hand, he is a veteran, this kind of even wrapping is the most headache, if it is loosely wound, it will be scattered. If it is wound too tightly, the cage will be crumpled, which will affect the aesthetics.
Of course, he knew that he had to use the right amount of force to make a good cage, but when he finished winding one of them, he lifted the other one and went around it again, and then he didn't stop winding until the hijab was about an inch big. After making the hijab, he picked it up again and looked at it carefully to see if it was even and beautiful enough.
Looking at it, I think it's okay, so it's just to put the remaining five corduroys on top of one by one. It's like weaving a bamboo basket, climbing up one by one. If you want to make the grub cage beautiful and practical, you rely on this process.
I saw that he first put one rush grass on the concave place of the hijab, and then lifted another rush grass, and carefully put it on the previous section of the rush, and so on. After the rack is completed, the longer rush grass is braided like a braid, and the mouth is sealed, and a small and delicate grasshopper cage is displayed in front of the two of them.
And Lu Wu saw that there were a little small flowers on the rush grass, so the cage of the grasshopper made up was even more beautiful. In order to make the grasshopper more comfortable inside, he also inserted a small wooden stick into the gap in the middle, so that the grasshopper could somersault there.
In the end, a small door was left behind, so that the palace built for the grasshoppers was completed. Lu Wu put both crickets and crickets in.
Now that the conditions are limited, he doesn't have time to separate them.
At this time, I don't know which tree the cicadas are not willing to be lonely, and the loud cicadas are breaking through the sky, as if they want to compete with the crickets and crickets.
This also attracted Lu Wu's intention to capture, "Let you call happily, I'll let you call together in a while!" Saying that, Lu Wu didn't care about his image or was not afraid of falling, so he climbed up towards the big tree on the mountainside.
"You're more reckless than me, be careful! If something happens, I can't explain it to your sister!" Mo Jingyan shouted uncomfortably behind him.
"Don't worry, I'm blessed with a great life, and if it's not so easy to die, you can rest assured. Lu Wu climbed up with agility like a monkey.
After a while, I caught a few knowledge, and then I slid down satisfied.
"Just to catch these chubby guys, climb so high, do you think it's worth it?" Mo Jingyan shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
This is really a generation gap, his age is already a generation behind their sister and brother, and at this time I know that sometimes their approach, he, the elder, is really unaccustomed to it!
Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened, otherwise, he really had no way to explain to Green Shadow. "There are a lot of small prey in this area, unless the big ones go to the mountains, we came out too late today, we will hunt some prey around here and go back, it is not safe inside, and they will be very anxious if they go back late." Mo Jingyan decided.
"Okay, then we will encounter something to fight, anyway, there are few people and we can't eat much, just to be happy. When I came to this mountain today, I really gained a lot and I was in a good mood. Lu Wu was satisfied.
"Okay, then we'll stay here, see what's going on, and we'll go back in a while, we've been delayed for too long, and it's past noon now. Mo Jingyan said, handing the dry food and water he brought with him to Lu Wu, "Just eat some, there is nothing to eat in this mountain, and when we go back, we will have a hearty meal." ”
"Okay, I'm not hungry yet, just drink some water, brother-in-law, eat." Lu Wu took the water bag, drank a few sips of water, didn't move the dry food, and directly handed it to Mo Jingyan.
The two of them were guarding a bush, they dodged well, and rarely spoke, always keeping an eye out for movement around them.
After a while, a few cute sika deer walked leisurely from here, Lu Wu and Mo Jingyan glanced at each other, and they didn't do anything tacitly, such a cute little thing, no one would be cruel to hurt them.
Not long after the fawn ran away, another cobra appeared, crawling lazily over the grass in front of it.
"These things are scary, I'm a little scared of them. Lu Wu looked at the cobra that shook his head and tail and swayed past in front of him, and said with palpitations.
"What are you afraid of? These things are the most popular, if you don't offend them, they won't hurt you, so you must remember to prepare a long stick on the mountain, just pick them up when you see them, I'm afraid that if you don't see them accurately, you will be unlucky if you step on them." And this guy's poison is almost not good when he bites. Mo Jingyan patiently explained, and Lu Wu listened attentively.
As the poisonous snake walked leisurely, two small animals that they could hunt appeared, and they were two goats, which came leisurely to graze, and did not eat at all, and there were two big bad wolves hiding in the shadows.
The two glanced at each other, and immediately understood, each took out a bow and arrow, and shot an arrow. I saw two feathered arrows whizzing! flew out, and in the blink of an eye, the two goats fell.
The two of them felt that this hunting seemed to be really not enjoyable, the hunting time had not yet climbed the mountain, and the time to catch crickets was long.
It takes a while to make a cage for a gnat, and it is indeed easy to beat these two stupid goats.
The two men got up, went over and pulled out the feather arrows, wiped them clean on the grass, and then put them in the basket behind them, and one dragged a goat back. This is like an arrow, and the time to come back is much less than the time to go, because both of them have their hands occupied, and they can't make any more moves when they see anything, so the two of them can only rush together.
When he returned home, the little one was waiting in the yard, and when he saw the two goats dragged back, he immediately clapped his hands happily: "Uncle and Daddy are awesome, you are amazing!"
"Yes, it's not a small harvest today!" Green Shadow also came over to look at the loot.
"This uncle gave it to you, but this beautiful cage was made for you by your amazing father. Lu Wu hurriedly handed the gnather cage to the little guy to ask for credit.
