Chapter 3: The First Hunt
When the running speed kept up, the stick method (in fact, it was knocked randomly) was also proficient, and by the way, she also practiced Xiao He Feishizi, and her self-conscious accuracy was not bad, and He Xiaoting was ready to act.
After drinking black batter and wild vegetable porridge for nearly two months, not to mention meat, I can't even eat eggs, and the gluttonous worms in my stomach have already protested.
Hunting, you have to hunt, and it is urgent.
At the end of May, it was dawning very early, and He Xiaoting habitually got up after hearing the movement of her sisters, put on a gray flutter full of thick linen pants, and went out with a pigtail.
Because there is not much food at home, it is simply changed to two meals a day during the slack season, and breakfast has to be eaten at about ten o'clock, and you can catch up if you move quickly.
"Sanya, why don't you go for a run again?" He Erya asked curiously.
I can't eat enough every day, and my sister still has the energy to run, which is also amazing.
"No, no, no," He Xiaoting shook her head busily, "I'll dig wild vegetables." ”
He Daya was happy, "Sanya is really diligent, but don't you bring a small basket?"
There are many people who go up to the mountains to pick wild vegetables, and there is no danger only in the periphery, but the sister has no objection.
When they finish their work in the fields, they also have to collect firewood and dig wild vegetables.
"Uh~" He Xiaoting said with big eyes, "I forgot." ”
Children from poor families are sensible early, and at the age of four or five, they follow their older brothers and sisters to the mountains to pick mushrooms and dig wild vegetables, and they have their own small baskets.
With the kind reminder of the eldest sister, He Xiaoting turned back and took the small back basket, and it happened that He Xiaojiang came out rubbing his eyes and shouting to follow.
He Xiaoting refused, "Didn't you make an appointment with your friends to go up the mountain together?"
"It's okay, I can dig more if I go early," He Xiaojiang said.
Dig more wild vegetables to eat two more bites, for the stomach, black beans are also fighting.
However, the conditions of every household in Hejia Village are not very good, and there are many children digging wild vegetables, as long as they can eat it, even if the taste is very bad, there are people who want it, and the nearby mountains are about to be dug bald.
couldn't refuse, He Xiaoting could only go up the mountain with her little tail.
He Xiaojiang stared wide-eyed and searched for a while, but he didn't dig up many wild vegetables, his little face wrinkled into bitter gourd, and he said mournfully, "Sister, there are fewer and fewer wild vegetables." ”
"Mmmm, it's quite little," He Xiaoting looked around absentmindedly, thinking about how to leave without alerting the little brother's attention.
She gave up her morning jog and went up the mountain early just to make it easier to move alone, which little brother got up so early today.
Alas, it's not good to be a teacher!
Without waiting for He Xiaoting to come up with a foolproof plan, Heidou Ding came over, looked left and right, and suggested in a small voice, "Let's go inside, shall we?"
The strong laborers either went to the fields or went to the town to work for a short time, and those who dug wild vegetables were old, weak, sick and disabled, and there were very few people who dared to go inside.
My sister has a lot of strength and runs fast, so it shouldn't be a big problem to go inside.
Thinking about the thick wild vegetables in it, He Xiaojiang couldn't help but suck his saliva, as long as he could eat enough, it was worth taking some risks.
He Xiaoting was surprised, she really couldn't see that the little brother was so brave.
Sure enough, it is a foodie with great power!
However, "Aren't you afraid of being known by the second sister?"
Parents are very honest, even if the child makes a mistake, he is reluctant to scold, at most the mother will be over after a few words.
And the eldest brother and sister have perfectly inherited the temperament of their parents, and the second brother is young and has not yet found the majesty of being an elder brother.
Only the second sister has a spicy temperament and a sharp mouth, knowing that the dragon and phoenix fetus have done bad things, so they can't help but come to a love education.
For example, beating while counting down, or beating with a broom.
He Xiaojiang was a little scared when he heard that he would be beaten, but his stomach was empty, and the idea of wanting to eat a few more bites prevailed, he gritted his teeth and said, "Go, you have to go." ”
Only once, no, twice is fine, and you won't have to go hungry after the autumn harvest.
He Xiaoting nodded, "Okay, since you insist on going, I will accompany you." ”
There is a little brother to take risks, perfect~
After discussing it, the two little ones set out, and walked along a road where there was not much grass and was obviously walked, and after walking for about a quarter of an hour, they found a lot of wild vegetables.
Although the weather is hot and the weeds are not very good-looking, it is better to have many varieties, and you can pick and dig delicious ones.
He Xiaojiang was so happy that he squatted in the pile of wild vegetables and was reluctant to leave.
"Sister, sister, we'll dig here today," He Xiaojiang's eyes were shining, "You can't dig too much, you will come and rob it if others see it." ”
In a poor mountain village, even wild vegetables are treasures.
"Oh," He Xiaoting glanced around and pointed to the other end, "Then I'll go over there, and I don't have to rob it if I dig separately." ”
There were bushes, grass was luxuriant, and there were probably pheasants and hares.
He Xiaojiang looked in the direction of his sister's finger and found that it was not far from here, so he agreed.
"Be careful, call my brother if you have something. ”
A few years old, the black bean is already very brotherly.
He Xiaoting secretly rolled her eyes, if she is really in danger, she may not know who is more powerful.
However, it's good to have an older brother who cares, so he responded honestly, "Got it." ”
On the side of the bushes on the runway, He Xiaoting tilted her head and looked into the bushes, muttering in her mouth, "Pheasants, hares, come out quickly, I want to eat meat~"
After repeating it several times, there was really something moving and moving in it, and I was immediately overjoyed, and I grabbed the wooden stick with my left hand and took out two round pebbles from my pocket with my right hand.
It's time to show off her stunts.
The wooden stick hit the bushes, and the small animal inside was frightened and ran out, He Xiaoting hurriedly put on a posture of throwing stones, and as soon as it came out, it attacked immediately.
After two swishing sounds, the critter ......
Still alive and well, and out of the bushes, exposed to people, is a big green snake the thickness of an adult's arm,
He Xiaoting's eyes widened, "Snake!hew~Little brother help~"
"Sister ......"
He Xiaojiang ran away when he heard the movement, but where can the little short legs compare to the speed of a snake.
Inexplicably attacked, the snake was also very angry, okay, spitting out the snake letter and quickly swimming to the abuser, intending to avenge himself.
He Xiaoting calmed down after screaming, knowing that she couldn't run, and she was worried that she would affect the little brother, so she was heartbroken, holding the wooden stick with both hands and smashing it headlessly.
"Hit seven inches, where is seven inches, hey, I can't measure it~"
Wait, the big green snake doesn't seem to move.
"Sister, I, I'm here to save you," He Xiaojiang rushed over panting, but what he saw was the scene of his little sister smashing the snake, and suddenly the whole person was not good.
Soft and cute, but when did the little greedy sister become so cruel?
It wasn't until he followed his sister down the mountain with a dead snake tied with a straw rope that He Xiaojiang still had an unreal feeling, and he didn't notice the strange eyes of the villagers.
He Xiaoting pushed open the door of her house and shouted happily, "We're back, let's eat meat today." ”
So the whole family was shocked.
"Meat, where does it come from?"
Seeing the bloody dead snake in Black Beanding's hand, the air instantly became quiet.
"He Xiaojiang, where did you take your sister to dig wild vegetables!"
