Chapter 25 Isn't the fire hot on a hot day?
He Xiaocao is just a nine-year-old baby in the end, his mind is not deep enough, and his face has not been cultivated into an iron wall, and when he touches a nail, where can he bear it.
"Sanya, how can you do this to me, don't forget that I'm your cousin!"
"I haven't forgotten," He Xiaoting responded calmly, "I think my attitude is already very good." ”
If it weren't for the fact that they were cousins, a fist would have passed.
Alas, it's too troublesome to be reasonable, and you have to yourself off when you encounter nonsense.
He Xiaocao ran out of the forest crying.
"Sanya, wouldn't this be bad," He Xiaoshan was a little worried, "In the end, it's the daughter of the second uncle's family." ”
Cousins who are close to each other by blood have a stiff fight, and if they spread it, they will ruin their reputation.
He Xiaoting shrugged nonchalantly, "Chuanbei, I have a good temperament, I can't change it." ”
"Ha, you're quite self-aware," He Xiaogu couldn't help but taunt, "Be careful that you won't be able to marry in the future." ”
"It's okay," He Xiaoting smiled, "I didn't want to get married." ”
In the monogamous modern society, marriage is still like a grave, let alone in a feudal dynasty.
Hey, there's rabbits.
Chase, chase, chase!
Cousin White Lotus is just cannon fodder with a low sense of existence, don't care too much, it's more important to eat meat.
He Xiaoting was busy catching rabbits, but she didn't know that the two brothers were worried.
Especially He Xiaoshan, he is the eldest brother, and he has a natural sense of responsibility to care for his younger siblings.
"Forget it, big brother, don't worry," He Xiaogu turned around and continued to collect firewood, "Just rush at Daddy's strength to hurt Sanya, where can I blame her." ”
What if the second uncle is unhappy, who cares?
There was nothing wrong with this, He Xiaoshan was speechless.
Perhaps because of the sparse population nearby and the fact that pedestrians rarely stay, there are really a lot of wild things in the forest, He Xiaoting quickly hit three hares and five pheasants, and saw that the two brothers picked up a lot of dry firewood, so she decided to stop.
The brother and sister Trinity came out of the wild forest and instantly became the focus.
The people in the village exclaimed, "The children of the big tree family are amazing, and they have caught prey in such a short time." ”
Even the most powerful hunter in the village, I'm afraid it can't be compared.
There are greedy and cheap eyes glued to the prey, racking their brains to think about how to trick the meat from the hands of the three children in front of them.
He Xiaoting twisted her eyebrows, it was inconvenient to go out, and if she wanted to eat meat, she had to resist the pressure.
There is so much meat, but most of the people who travel with him are related to each other, and half of them are gluttonous bear children.
In such a situation, it seems a bit difficult to eat alone.
Sure enough, after packing up the prey, He Dashu discussed with his daughter-in-law and asked a few older children to deliver meat.
"Our pot is too small, so we have to stick the cake and divide the meat directly. ”
Li Chunlan was a little distressed, but she couldn't object, she only smiled gently, "I listen to you." ”
Two hares and four pheasants were divided into a dozen portions, wrapped in large washed leaves, and sent out.
The rest of the rabbit was chopped and boiled, the pheasant was boiled into a small pot of soup, and the family of eight ate it all under the coveted gaze of everyone.
After eating and drinking, Li Chunlan and He Daya spread bud grain flour cakes to make dry food for the next few days, and He Dashu took others to wash and prepare the 'bed' for rest at night.
Even though the weather is hot, you don't have to worry about catching a cold when you sleep in the open, but it is not comfortable to lie directly on the ground or sleep against the trunk of a tree.
Find a flat place, spread a thick layer of grass, and the simple bed is ready.
"It would be better if it were hay," He Erya complained, "and every morning I get up with green grass juice on my clothes." ”
"Second sister, you should be happy," He Xiaogu said with a smile, "Green clothes are better looking than gray clothes." ”
He Erya glared, "Nonsense, it's obviously more ugly." ”
The country girl who doesn't have much insight naturally doesn't know what color gray and grass green are mixed with, she just doesn't like it.
He Xiaoting knew, but she didn't care about this, and looked at Ye Linzi with bitterness and hatred.
If you are at home, you must not let go of such a good night hunting opportunity.
"Sanya, do you still want to eat meat?" He Xiaojiang asked in a low voice.
"Yes," He Xiaoting asked without thinking, "Don't you want to?"
Of course He Xiaojiang thought about it, but, "Don't go to catch rabbits, wait until you get home." ”
"Why?"
He Xiaoting was shocked, she has a mature soul, and naturally knows that it is too easy to attract people's attention in the limelight, but the little brother is only a few years old, and he knows how to keep a low profile.
It's not that she's not proud in her heart, and she's worthy of being her twin brother, just as witty as her.
However, what He Xiaojiang wanted to say was, "Cousin Xiaocao is so annoying, she ate the chicken leg just now, if you catch it again, she will be able to eat it again." ”
What was given to the second uncle's family was half of the pheasant, as the youngest one in the small family, it was not surprising that He Xiaocao could eat chicken legs.
He Xiaojiang doesn't like his cousin Xiaocao, who likes to pretend to be well-behaved, even if he can't eat meat, he doesn't want his sister to go hunting again.
For this reason, He Xiaoting just wanted to say, "It's good if you're happy." ”
Anyway, she sensed that something was wrong and was ready to hold on.
He Dashu overheard the conversation between his daughter and his daughter, and gave him a chestnut with his backhand, "What's wrong with your cousin Xiaocao, you actually said bad things about her behind your back." ”
He Xiaojiang hugged his head and scurried, "Dad, stop, the gentleman doesn't move his mouth......"
"Heh," He Dashu sneered, "I'm not a gentleman, just an old peasant, don't talk to me about those useless things." ”
Don't think it's great to learn a few sour words from the children in the village.
Thinking so, he knocked on his head.
He Xiaoting was amazed, this is really a father~
"Sanya, it's time to rest," He Erya came over and dragged her sister with a solemn face, "I won't be able to see it clearly after a while." ”
There are many forests around, and for the sake of safety, it is impossible to leave too many fires at night, only one or two for the night watchman.
He Dashu is an adult, He Xiaoshan is over fourteen years old, and they all have vigil tasks, and tonight it happened to be their turn, and the father and son had already discussed that one would keep watch in the first half of the night and the other in the second half of the night.
Seeing the eldest brother sitting alone in the middle of the two fires, sweating profusely and vigilant, He Xiaoting couldn't help but ask her soul, "On a hot day, isn't the roasting fire hot?"
Why not stay away from the fire?
Everyone, "......" Isn't everyone keeping vigil like this!
"Uncle Suo said that when he was young, he went to the north with the caravan, and he sat by the fire every night to keep vigil," He Erya explained, "Only when there is light can you see the movement around you." ”
If you encounter a beast such as a wolf or a large insect, fire can also help you retreat.
He Xiaoting rolled her eyes, "Did Uncle Suo say when he went to the north?"
He Erya, "Yes, it is in August and September, not more than October." ”
He Xiaoting's black line, the weather in the north is cold early, and it is normal to sleep in the open in August and September.
But now the temperature at night is not lower than thirty, and the vigil is tantamount to suffering.
