Chapter 49: Ingenuity Falls into the Water
"Auntie." Zhu Xingguo had long seen his aunt walking cautiously with a bamboo basket.
Busy with Zhou Dongsheng and Gu Huayue got up and came to greet them.
"Hungry, aren't you?" Zhu Yanqu smiled softly and walked into the shed.
Looking at the well-behaved three children, he put down the bamboo basket.
Flat stones brought from the river were used as tables.
Dishes and chopsticks, simple dishes are arranged.
"Let's eat," Zhu Yanqu looked at the three children looking at him with blank eyes, and his voice hesitated, "What's wrong?" ”
"Auntie, are you done?" Zhu Xingguo's voice was hoarse.
"No," Zhu Yanqu looked directly into his rosy eyes, "Look at this situation, you have to be busy for a month." ”
Zhu Xingguo snorted heavily, "Auntie, then I'm ......"
Zhu Yanqu was silent for a moment, looked at Zhu Xingguo's ruddy eyes, and sighed lightly, "Let's eat, if you have anything to say, it's not too late to say it later." ”
Zhu Yanqu only ate some fried cabbage and roasted eggplant, and only half of the white taro, and let the three of them eat the rest.
At the end of lunch, Zhu Yanqu was packing up the dishes and chopsticks and putting them in the basket.
The three of them were still standing up in unison, in a posture of wanting to follow.
This is an unfamiliar environment, and I dare not rashly let them be here alone.
"Let's go," she relieved, and the children had smiles on their faces.
"Aunt," Zhu Yanqu led Zhou Dongsheng and Gu Huayue, followed by her aunt, following her footsteps.
"Are we here this month?"
Zhu Yanqu looked sideways, looked at Zhu Xingguo's fiery eyes, and thought about it.
"It's just two acres of land, there's nothing worth remembering, I'll take a look when the house is built."
Zhu Xingguo hesitated for a moment, "Then we, will it be inconvenient to go to the street in the future?" ”
"There will be streets over here, too," Zhu Yanqu said as he carried a bamboo basket and walked downstream of the river.
Before he could get closer, he heard the sound of the river flowing.
What Zhu Yanqu hasn't told the children is that except for the people in Zhaohua Village.
In the rest of the villages, there are no people who are easy to get along with.
On the other hand, Yuli and Liangwan are two groups of people, who are kind and polite.
"Alright, you three are waiting for me right here." Zhu Yanqu stopped.
Let the three of them stand in the back.
Walk towards the river, put down the bamboo basket, open a bamboo tube, and pour out the ashes of the plants and trees inside to clean the dishes and chopsticks.
During the cleaning process, I went to see the turbulent river, and in the deep water downstream, there were fish coming out of the water
It's a strange place, and it takes some time to get in touch with it.
It is bordered by giant dragon bamboo forests in the west, pine forests in the north, plains in the south, and towering mountains and rivers in the north.
A little further away, there is an impermeable woods!
Wash the dishes and chopsticks, lift them and walk back.
When telling your child to walk carefully.
The three brothers of Xi Quan, and Jiang Ping. Moriwa walked this way.
Behind them, there were all strong Yuli, Liangwan people, carrying black pottery three-legged pottery tripods, and carrying dishes and chopsticks to clean.
Silently stand on the very edge and make way for them.
Zhu Yanqu lowered his eyes and lowered his gaze, looking at the figures they passed by.
It was close to the summer solstice, the weather was hot, and many of the barbarian natives were bare-chested, revealing their strong arms when they were idle.
Zhu Yanqu stretched out his hand to block in front of Gu Huayue, and waited until they all walked over before putting down his hand.
Holding her hand and looking down at her, "When you go back, you guys take a nap." ”
"Okay," Gu Huayue replied crisply, "Auntie also needs to rest." ”
Zhu Yanqu gently squeezed her chubby hand, "Auntie has something else." ”
"Ahh Gu Huayue lowered her eyes and her small mouth was deflated, and she was very unhappy.
As soon as Gu Huayue raised her head, her eyes were slightly red, and two bean-sized tears hung on her eyelashes.
Zhu Yanqu stopped slightly and looked at her seriously.
No matter what comes to the lips, you can't say it again.
Because they are busy, they can't accompany them well.
Return the dishes and chopsticks to their original places.
Lin Su took Xi Yao with him, and Shen Ran was cleaning up the scraps and bones of the bamboo table.
Some of the good bones were left behind, and the bad ones were discarded.
Lin Su put down the handkerchief of the bamboo table and walked in front of Zhu Yanqu.
"Yanqu, Shang Xu and they have discussed, go hunting this afternoon, catch more prey, and make some jerky, so that we can only cook dinner a day, and we can go to the forest to have a look at the rest of the time."
"Well," Zhu Yanqu responded, and suddenly came back to his senses, "What's the problem?" ”
"Not really," Lin Su lowered his eyes and pinched his fingers, "It's just that there are many people who build houses and a large amount of bamboo is cut, so Shang Xu suggested that you go a little farther, so that once you go back, the journey will be long." ”
"It's also to prevent over-cutting," Lin added.
Zhu Yanqu nodded, "Well, auntie, then this is ...... What do I need to do? ”
"You rest first," Lin Su said with a smile in his eyebrows, "We'll do it when they come back from hunting." ”
Lin Su continued to wipe the table with a handkerchief, smiling with his eyebrows and eyes, and in a good mood.
Zhu Yanqu's fingertips touched the edge of the bamboo table lightly, looking at Lin Su, who was in a relaxed mood.
The eyes are lowered and do not linger any longer.
Take the three children back.
-
Back to the temporary shelter, leaning against the green dragon bamboo, as a support pillar for the grass shed.
Zhu Yanqu turned sideways, his fingers touching gently.
A gentle breeze is blowing in the heat of the wind.
Zhu Yanqu opened the [Treasure Pavilion] and took a look, he hadn't opened it for a long time, and his hands were itchy.
As soon as I opened it, I saw two young men who were soaked and their hair was tightly pressed to their faces, running back from the direction of the lower reaches of the river.
Running and shouting, his voice anxious.
"Uncle Yan, your family fell into the river by heart."
Zhu Yanqu's body stiffened, and he hurriedly looked at Xingguo, Huayue, and Dongsheng who ran out when he heard the voice.
"Let's go." Zhu Yanqu hugged Huayue and trotted all the way down the river.
Zhu Xingguo and Zhou Dongsheng trotted along, looking ahead with worried expressions.
The river was full of people.
The rush of the river, the hoarse cry.
Zhu Yanqu squeezed in from the crowd and saw Xu Manyue crying loudly on the riverbank, "Ingenuity ......"
Yang Honglan and Liu Yuncai whimpered, wiped their tears, and supported Xu Manyue, who was crying until she fainted.
The three generations of the Yan family, just such a baby daughter, has been painful since she was a child, and she is very anxious when she doesn't see her a little.
Now it is engulfed in the turbulent river, floating and sinking.
Watch as her hands struggle frantically, fluttering, sinking little by little.
The river was too turbulent, and the people who went into the water to save it were scattered by the beatings.
Xi Quan and the others pulled the thick kudzu vine, and the other end of the kudzu vine was tied to Jiang Ping and Sen He's waist and abdomen.
When Jiang Ping caught Yan Qiaoxin, the river rushed to hit them.
The arm that was bulging suddenly loosened, and his footsteps staggered.
His face sank, and he looked at Jiang Gui, who had a pale face behind him.
Kudzu is broken.
Xi Quan looked at the kudzu vine that was washed back by the river, pinched the broken kudzu vine, and looked at the young man on the bank.
"All the young adults, run downstream, pick up Jiang Ping and Sen He, and the rest of the people in the river."
After he finished speaking, he turned sideways to look at Xi Qian, who was beside him, "You go, call Shen Kai over." ”
Xi Quan's face was serious, and he told the villagers and barbarian natives who couldn't know water to retreat to the flat land.
