Chapter 436: In the Tongtian River, under the big banyan tree
"Uncle, they're not good people!"
As soon as the tall man arrived, he shouted. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Hong A's face sank: "Tiezhu, what are you talking about? They are not good people, how can they save Shui Mei? And me?"
It turns out that this man's name is Hong Tiezhu, but he lives up to his name and is quite vivid. He was reprimanded by Hong Ada, and was a little unconvinced, but he didn't dare to refute it, and only stared at Chen Sanlang angrily.
It didn't take long for Sister Flood to boil the water, put it in a bowl, and brought it over, Chen Sanlang took it, thanked her, and the girl retreated behind her father with a red face.
When Hong Tiezhu saw it, he was even more angry.
At this time, an old man with gray hair asked, "Ah Da, your boat was overturned by the waves, and the fish are all gone?"
Speaking of this, Hong Ada's face was gloomy: "It's all gone, and the boat is gone......"
For him, the boat is equivalent to the farmer's hoe, and if he loses it, he will lose the means to earn a living, and he will be very devastated.
The villagers all looked disappointed when they heard this. The cold winter is difficult to overcome, and everyone is counting on Hong Ah Da to return with a full load and be able to eat fish, but they didn't expect that there is nothing now. If this continues, everyone will soon be hungry.
Hongjia Village is very backward, the conditions are not good, it belongs to the stage of big pot rice, the whole village has to work, the income of labor is concentrated, and then distributed in a unified manner, the proportion of women, children and children is small, and the young and strong laborers are much shared, but no matter the old and young, there is always something to eat, so as not to starve to death. In fact, Hong Ah Da is already equivalent to the position of village chief because of his superb fishing skills.
Since the beginning of winter, I don't know what has happened, there are no fish in a nearby river, no matter what method is used, whether it is fishing or catching a net, nothing is caught.
Such a situation made Hongjia Village feel uneasy. Hong Ah offered to go upstream to fish, and his visit was a great hope for the villagers, but in the end, the hope turned into disappointment. As the climate gets colder day by day, the whereabouts of birds and beasts in the mountains are hidden, even if Hong Tiezhu is good at archery, the hunter team he led enters the mountains, and at the end of the day, there is little harvest.
These days, the villagers have to gather wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger.
The matter of not being able to catch fish, Chen Sanlang heard Hong Ada's mention before, and couldn't help but feel strange. Anyway, he caught three big fish yesterday, and the meat was delicious and delicious, which was very good.
So, why can't the people in Hongjia Village fight?
However, after thinking about it, I used the "True Dragon Water Trick" to catch fish, which is unusual, and it is not the same as the ordinary way of fishing, and it cannot be compared.
It's just that no matter what, there must be something strange about this matter, and when I think of the monster that is making waves, I suddenly have some understanding.
There is a lack of food, and all Hong Ah Da can take out to entertain now is a bowl of boiling water, which is really shabby.
At noon, the village shared food, one person and a bowl of wild vegetable brown rice porridge, and nothing else.
Chen Sanlang and the three did not belong to the village, so they didn't have a share, but later Hong Ah talked and fought for it, so he got three more bowls.
Three bowls of porridge water that is so thin that you can see the bottom of it, and a few yellow wild vegetables are floating in it, and you can drink it all in one gulp.
Hong Ah Da said embarrassedly: "Engong, I can only eat this now......"
Chen Sanlang said with a smile: "The world is difficult, and it is already good to have a bite to eat." ”
Hong Adada sighed, in fact, Chen Sanlang is right, at present, in Yongzhou, in other places, I don't know how many refugees have been displaced, because of cold and starvation.
"Engong, when are you leaving?"
Chen Saburo replied: "Maybe two or three days." ”
Hearing this, Hong Ada's face couldn't help but show a sad look. Two or three days is not long, but living in the village, eating is very problematic. If you don't entertain and can't say it, if you give food, it will cause dissatisfaction among the people in the village, and the three bowls of porridge and water at noon today have already made them have an opinion, after all, there is no shortage of food and clothing now, there is no leftover, how can you raise three outsiders?
Chen Sanlang saw his embarrassment and said, "Uncle A, don't worry, we will hunt and fish ourselves." ”
Hong Ah Da listened and puffed out his eyes, he could see that Ah Wu and Da Kui were powerful and knew martial arts, but fist and foot kung fu and hunting were not the same thing. When it comes to hunting, he has lived for most of his life, Hong Tiezhu is the best hunter, he knows all kinds of birds and beasts well, archery is like a god, and he also makes a good knife skill. All kinds of skills have been passed down from generation to generation by the old people in the village, and it is difficult for outsiders to compare. The most powerful thing is that Hong Tiezhu was born with divine powers, when he was eighteen years old, he went up the mountain and met a blind bear, and finally stoned the bear to death with his bare hands.
This matter has become a big talk in Hongjia Village, and it is still talked about today.
It's just that Hong Tiezhu also has a problem, he is too upright, his head is tendoned, he admits death, and he doesn't know how to transfer.
There are such hunters in the village, it can be said that almost all the birds and beasts in the nearby mountains and wilderness have been hunted, and Chen Sanlang and others still want to hunt things, which is a fool's dream. As for fishing, not to mention, Hong Ada, who has been floating in the Tongtian River for decades, is the best fisherman, he can't catch fish, let alone others?
"Engong, no matter whether it is birds, beasts or fish, it is not easy to fight now. ”
Said tactfully.
Chen Sanlang smiled and said, "Uncle A, if I catch a fish, you have to borrow a place to cook for us." ”
Seeing that he didn't listen, Hong Adaa didn't say much: "Of course." ”
After a short rest, Chen Sanlang took Ah Wu and the two out.
Seeing that he was really going to fish, Hong Bada couldn't help but be a little curious, so he took fishing nets and fishing rods and other tools and followed. In fact, he also wanted to go to the river to see if he could catch a fish. There was no way, now that the boat was gone, there was a serious shortage of food in the village, and he had to find a way.
Outside, the villagers knew that Hong Ah Da was going out to fish, and the word spread, and soon a large group of people followed. Whether Hong Ada's ability to catch fish is related to the food and clothing of the whole village, of course everyone is very concerned, anyway, there is nothing to do now, it is better to follow and see, if there is a place that needs help, everyone can also contribute.
In the crowd, Hong Tiezhu stood out like a crowd and was very conspicuous, he was not for watching Hong Ah catch fish, but for Chen Sanlang and them, he wanted to star, looking at the eyes of the three people, just like staring at the three thieves.
Hongjia Village is not very big, it is estimated that there are thirty or forty families, living in groups, the houses are simple, there is a fence outside, it is a guardrail, among the people, there are also some chickens and ducks, the number is not much, and there are a few dogs.
These dogs may not seem tall and fierce, but they are very clever and swift, and they are clearly trained to be hunting dogs. Among them, the hound's fur raised by Hong Tiezhu is pure black, and his whole body exudes a fierce aura and is full of spirituality.
Outside the southwest corner of the village, there is a huge banyan tree, the shade of which stretches out, looking like a huge umbrella stretched out.
I don't know how long this tree has grown, its roots are everywhere, and it has become a forest, and in it, a building is faintly revealed, which is not visible from the outside. But after looking at it, Chen Sanlang immediately felt something, and he knew that under the banyan tree, there was a hidden mystery.
