Chapter 7: The Trappers

Wu Hou, who was walking on the way home, recalled the experience just now over and over again in his mind. All this is too dreamy, although this is what I dreamed of, but when it really happened to me, it was still unbelievable.

I have lived for more than ten years, and since I can remember, the education I have received, the people I have met, and the world I have seen are really very different from what I have witnessed now. Could it be that the world in the novel really existed? Wu Hou couldn't help but ask himself in his heart.

I met a man in a daze, claiming that he was the first in the world, and accepted himself as an apprentice, and let himself find him after the sun went down every day.

"Do you want to go?" Wu Hou walked thoughtfully along the mountain road, asking himself in his heart, hesitating.

Not far from Pinghuang Mountain, Wu Hou heard his grandfather's voice, he was shouting Wu Hou's name over and over again, his voice was full of anxiety.

Wu Hou retracted his thoughts, calmed down, and followed the voice to find his grandfather.

"Grandpa. Wu Hou shouted.

My grandfather, not far ahead, was inspecting a low-lying ravine, and he found it all the way from the door of his house, not missing a single place in danger.

Hearing the call, the grandfather who turned back saw Wu Hou covered in dirt, he ran to Wu Hou, kicked Wu Hou in the buttocks, and scolded: "Little rabbit cub, where are you going?

Wu Hou cried with a sad face, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry grandpa, it's all my fault." ”

The old man kicked Wu Hou's ass a few more times, and then said, "Nonsense, if you don't blame me, can you blame me?"

The angry old man blew his nose and glared, eager to raise his fist and beat Wu Hou hard, but when he saw Wu Hou's dirty appearance, he couldn't bear to do it again.

There were a few people in the distance, who heard the sound and came this way, they were also residents of the mountain, but their residence was a little farther away from their grandfather's house. Some of them Wu Hou also knew, and he often went to their house to play when he was a child.

In the morning, my grandmother went to call Wu Hou for dinner, and found that Wu Hou was not in the room, so she went to ask my grandfather if he had seen him. Grandpa didn't know, thinking that maybe he would go to someone's house to play, after all, Wu Hou had lived in the mountains for some years, and he also knew the friends of the old couple.

My grandfather went to a few old guys' houses and asked again, but they all said that they had never seen Wu Hou, and asked the old man when Wu Hou came, but they didn't know. Wu Hou's grandfather became nervous at this time, so he began to recruit people to look for Wu Hou together.

It took several hours to find the child.

"Where did you go, how did you come back? ”

"Look at your grandparents. ”

"It's not a small amount of courage, running blindly in the mountains alone!"

......

Several people talked nonsense, and Wu Hou lowered his head with a smile, embarrassed.

He wanted to say that he had gone to climb the mountain, but he didn't dare to say it, for fear that it would be difficult to explain after he said it, so he simply kept silent and counted himself with them.

walked all the way, was counted all the way, and the displeased grandfather slapped himself from time to time and slapped him on the back of the head, the painful Wu Hou gasped, and said depressedly in his heart: "You really beat ah!"

When he got home, it was already dark, and his grandmother, whose eyes were red, had been guarding the door, and Wu Hou felt guilty when he saw his grandmother, feeling that he really shouldn't have let his grandmother worry so much.

Grandpa sent a few people away, and someone told Wu Hou before leaving: "If you want to go out to play, come to my house, my little rabbit cub is also on vacation, and he has nothing to do at home all day, either touching fish or digging birds, you two naughty ghosts will definitely be able to play together." ”

Wu Hou smiled and nodded.

There is a middle-aged man who often goes to the mountains, pulling Wu Hou's grandfather at the door, and whispered: "Old Guo, these days keep an eye on the children, the mountains have not been very peaceful recently, a few days ago I went to the south to dig ginseng, and I saw a few sneaky outsiders from a distance, and they also carried shotguns, not like a good person." ”

Wu Hou's grandfather's surname is Guo Mingxianda, and among the residents of several nearby hills, he is considered to be the oldest, so if there is anything going on in the mountains, the younger ones will come to him to talk to him. Even if he didn't come here today to look for Wu Hou, this middle-aged man would have taken the time to come to Guo Xianda's house and talk to the old man about it.

After Guo Xianda heard the middle-aged man say this, he frowned and thought for a while, and said, "I guess I'm here to hunt, don't get in the way, didn't we often go into the mountains to hunt before?"

The man in the prime of life always felt that it was not so simple. The people he saw, each armed with a shotgun, were also uniformly dressed, all black tights, and each of them carried a bulging backpack, and he didn't know what it contained.

He said uneasily: "It's better to be careful." ”

Lao Guo said: "Yes, be careful." One day, we will call a few people, and we will go into the mountains to have a look. ”

"Hmm. The middle-aged man stepped forward: "I'm back, you can go back too." ”

"Okay, it's hard today, come and drink my apricot blossom wine tomorrow. Lao Guo was a little proud when he talked about apricot blossom wine.

A voice came from afar: "Okay." ”

Wu Hou in the room, sitting on a chair, took off his shirt and shorts, and only wore a thin pair of small underwear. Grandma was wiping Wu Hou's body with a wet towel, and her mouth was chattering: "Where did you run this day, your clothes are dirty like that, and you smell of sweat." ”

Wu Hou, who was sitting obediently on the chair, was in a good mood and said happily: "There are many places to go, thrilling and exciting." ”

"It's also exciting!" Grandma gently slapped Wu Hou's head with a wet towel, and said angrily: "I think your grandfather beat you hard enough." ”

"Hey, hey. Wu Hou laughed.

In front of his grandmother, he is the most innocent, and he always feels very comfortable with the old woman, although it seems that his grandmother is angry, but it still makes Wu Hou feel very kind. The kind feeling that his grandmother gave Wu Hou, Wu Hou didn't feel it in his mother, maybe it's because of the next generation.

The grandfather, who closed the door, entered the room, poured himself a glass of wine, sat at the table, squinted at the wine, looked at Wu Hou and said, "Stinky boy, I tossed for a day." ”

Just now I was talking about Wu Hou's grandmother, this will be towards Wu Hou, looked at the old man, glared and said, "Okay, okay, just come back, it's okay, it's okay, I'm relieved." ”

"You're used to it!" the old man took another sip of wine.

"Hey, I said that the surname is Guo, you went out to find your grandson for a day today, and when you come home, you really treat yourself as your grandfather? Dare to accuse me of coming, do you believe that I beat you as a grandson?" said the grandmother with a towel on her shoulder.

Guo Xianda has been polite to his wife all his life, never dared to talk back, and did not dare to play the spirit of a man, and at this moment he was the same, admitting and saying: "I'm used to it, I'm used to it." He also sat down in front of Wu Hou with a grimace as he spoke.

Wu Hou puffed out his mouth, shook his head a little cutely, and thought: It's so good.

The three people who were tired from each day's work, after cleaning up, lay down on the bed early and prepared to rest.

Wu Hou was too tired, so he lay on the bed and fell asleep for a short time.

There was a quiet between the mountains, and tonight there was a wind, and there were large cumulus clouds floating in the sky, obscuring the moonlight from time to time.

In the distance, in the woods, a flock of birds was frightened and fled in all directions.

There were four people in the woods, each carrying a shotgun, a backpack on their backs, and a uniform attire. At this time, they were surrounding an iron cage, and there was an animal with extremely gorgeous plumage, which was struggling to escape from the iron cage.

The caged animal has a golden head, a thick green feather on its upper body, orange-brown and black layers on its neck, a long black-brown tail, and a dark red belly.

"It worked!" said one of them, surprised.

The other three looked at the golden rooster in the cage and laughed happily.

"The one hundred and thirty-fifth is enough to sell for a good price. ”

"Second child, bring it back to the car and call it a day. ”

"After seven days in the mountains, I was finally able to leave. The man, known as the second child, grabbed the cage and walked towards a pickup truck on the side of the road.

When he got to the car, the second child opened the trunk and threw the iron cage in. The trunk was bustling, more than a hundred iron cages, each of which contained a golden rooster, and because of excessive fright, beautiful feathers fell everywhere.

"Go back and pick out a few males and a few females, let's raise them, let them give off, and save a trip to the mountains. A man came to the second child and said.

Another person walked over, and then said just now: "Yes, what the fourth brother said makes sense, big brother, what do you say?" said and looked at the man in front of him who was leaning on the front of the car and lighting a cigarette.

The man was a little cold, didn't speak, just spat out a puff of cigarette.

The three people in the back closed the trunk, came to the front of the car, and looked at the smoking boss.

At this time, the boss said, "I'll take you to do the big ticket!"

"What's the big deal?" the three asked.

The boss threw the cigarette butt on the ground and said firmly, "Big tiger!

"Damn, White Tiger! I've heard of it for the first time! That thing must be worth a lot more!" said the second child in surprise.

"If you can get one, how many cars of golden roosters you have to be able to change!" The third and fourth were also excited.

"But where is the white tiger?" several people were curious.

"Yesterday I saw through the telescope, on a hill not far to the north, the tiger was standing on the edge of a cliff, majestic. The Boss explained.

"Then you didn't say it yesterday?" asked the fourth.

"I said yesterday that you still have the heart to catch the golden rooster? The golden rooster is not money?" the boss looked at the fourth child with disdain.

The fourth child scratched his head and smiled: "It's too!"

The Boss lit another cigarette, then took out his shotgun, opened the satchel with bullets on his waist, and counted the bullets.

"Maybe it's enough. The boss who confirmed the number of bullets began to order: "Fourth, you divide the bullets among the second and third children, and you send the car back to your sister-in-law yourself, so that she can send it directly to Boss Wang, and then change the car and come back." Remember, be sure to come back tomorrow before dark. ”

"Okay!" The fourth child listened to the boss's instructions, gave the bullet in the bag to the second child, and then sat in the driver's seat, ignited and stepped on the clutch gear to start, and after a set of operations, he drove back to the car.

After waiting for the car to be nowhere to be seen, the remaining three people found a wide area with their bags on their backs, lit a fire, and set up a simple tent.

"After a long day's work, I can finally rest. The second child threw away the eaten can, and peeked out of the tent with a head.

The third child came back from the river to fetch water, still carrying two fish in his hand, and said with a smile: "If you want to say that this mountain is not bad, you can drink it directly after taking the stream water, and the wild game all over the mountain can be eaten and caught at any time, which is very beautiful!"

Their boss leaned against the root of the tree, snorted and laughed, and scolded, "No interest!"
