Chapter 39: A New Beginning
I got a job, I have a night shift to go to, and I only have a chapter for two days in the last few days, thank you for your support.
The carriage returned to the county.
Arigen went back to the shack area.
I returned to my own little shack.
It's hard to collect dry wood on the damp ground, but luckily Yougen doesn't plan to start a farm in his empty shack.
Carrying four cleaned up weasels, Yougen came to the front of the naphthalm's house.
Knocking lightly on the door of the shack, one shouted a few times, but no one in the shack responded.
After waiting for a while, Yougen looked up and tiptoed into the room.
He didn't see the room that was wrapped in no gaps, but he saw the sky behind it.
I saw a jet-black line standing in the sky.
That's cooking smoke.
In the shack area, near the water source, there is a small open space.
There is a pot in the clearing.
A pot of pots.
The pot is large and is equivalent to a round bathtub.
The stove is stacked with bricks under the pot.
Wood is burning in the stove.
Burning wet wood.
All the people who live in the housing area are surrounding the pots and pots at this time.
The hunters had returned, and they had brought some wild stuff with them.
They caught three fish and two monkeys.
Two wild monkeys.
When Yougen came to the clearing, the corpses of the monkey and the fish had already been poured into the pot.
But looking at the wreckage of the noodle soup when the naphtha used a wooden stick as thick as a thigh and as long as an arm, and turned over the soup noodles when he was pounded in a pot, one can understand that the fish and wild monkeys have been stripped of their scales and fur.
But in addition to the gallbladder filled with bitter juice, the internal organs and chopped intestine meat are all in the pot.
Yougen looked at the weasel he was holding in his hand and walked towards the crowd.
"Well, please let me go. ”
Holding the porcelain bowl in hand, the hungry crowd waiting to boil the pot turned their heads angrily and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
They saw that there were roots.
I saw the stripped weasel in Yougen's hand.
The anger of the crowd subsided.
And quickly branched out a way.
A road to pots and pots.
Looking at the separated crowd and looking at the road under his feet, Yougen breathed a sigh of relief.
Walking to the pot, Yougen handed the weasel in his hand to the naphtha.
"Brother Stone, this is my prey, but I don't have a bowl, can I help?"
"Oh, there's a brother, it's amazing, weasels aren't very easy to catch. ”
Reaching out to take the weasel that had been handed over, a smile appeared on Tonna's face.
The smile is a little innocent.
Placing the weasel in the boiling water in the pot, Naphtha handed the stick in his hand to a man beside him who was also thickly haired, but whose face was much younger than Naphthal.
Reaching out and grabbing Yougen's shoulder, Shi Na kept a smile on his face and said, "Brother Yougen, let me introduce you." ”
"This is the Monkey Stone, and this group of monkeys is the one he found. ”
Pulling Yougen to the young man who was tinkering with pots with a wooden stick, Shi Nao pointed his finger at Yougen and said, "Monkey Stone, this is Brother Yougen, the new here." ”
"Hehe, hello. Hearing this, Monkey Stone nodded at Yougen, and his face showed the same smile as Naphtha.
"Hello. ”
"This is the hawkbeak. ”
"Hehe, hello. ”
"Hello. ”
"This is Fu Lei. ”......
Around the pot, the man who had just returned from hunting, plus the naphtha, a total of six people.
They all looked similar, with beards that covered almost the entire face, thin, concave cheeks, and protruding muscles that clung to the bones.
The names of the six are also very distinctive.
Monkey stone, eagle beak, Fu Lei, tongue, feathering.
Among the six people, except for the monkey stone and the feather, the rest of the people had a few wisps of gray hair on their faces.
After introducing each other to each other, Yougen shivered with each other.
The soup in the pot boiled.
Naphtha found a porcelain bowl for Yougen, and used the dried grapefruit shell to scoop a bowl of soup for Yougen.
Yougen took the bowl and stepped aside with a smile.
The naphtha first distributed hot soup to the other five people who had returned from the hunt, and then it was the turn of the people who had been waiting for a long time with porcelain bowls in hand.
The crowd was a little crowded, but the first to serve the soup were all young children.
Children crowd around the pot, holding the porcelain bowl with their hands straight.
The children in the front row had already lifted their bowls above the pots.
Ignoring the steam that rose from the boiling noodle soup, scorching the skin.
Naphtha quickly distributed hot soup to the scrambling children.
Then there were the women who were washing clothes by the river, and finally the old men who were old and wrinkled.
Yougen stood beside a shack with a porcelain bowl full of soup, looking at the crowd of people holding bowls around the pot to divide the soup.
"I said, "Where did my brother come from. Monkey Stone blew the hot soup in his bowl and came to Root's side.
"Hometown, hometown is in trouble. Yougen smiled faintly and answered the question.
"Oh. Monkey Stone didn't ask any more, took the bowl, and squatted aside.
Shaking the bowl in his hand, looking at the fluctuating soup in the bowl, looking at the brown soup, the wheat millet husk floating on the soup noodles, Yougen, who had already expected it, smiled faintly, closed his eyes, raised his head and drank the wheat soup in a few sips.
The soup is a bit fishy and has a very light salty taste.
With a prepared wooden stick that scrapes off the bark, slowly shave the meat from the bottom of the bowl into your mouth.
Yougen sighed and chewed vigorously on the very hot piece of meat in his mouth.
He chewed for a long time, until he chewed the thick fiber monkey meat into a slimy shape, and then swallowed the meat in his stomach.
A pot of soup quickly bottomed out, and the naphtha scraped the bottom of the pot and filled himself with some soup residues.
Playing with the dregs in the bowl with his hand, the stone brain walked towards Yougen with a look of chagrin.
After taking a few steps forward, a stick that had been stripped of the bark was handed to the naphthal, and said, "Try this." ”
"This ......" grabbed the stick, and the stone brain looked at Yougen suspiciously.
"It's very convenient to use this planing. ”
"This ......" Hearing this, the brows on Shi Nao's face furrowed, and after thinking for a while, he still threw away the wooden stick in his hand.
"Brother Yougen, I'm still used to using my hands. ”
Seeing Shi Nao put his right hand into the bowl, looking at the black and flowery surface of the fingers, but constantly stirring in the bowl, Yougen smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything more.
Taking a few steps back, Arigen stood back beside the shack where he had been standing.
Beside Yougen, the five people who had already finished eating greeted each other and dispersed.
But Yougen didn't leave in a hurry, he waited until Shi Na finished scraping the meat scraps in the bowl with his hands, and then walked in front of Shi Na again.
"That big brother Shinao, when you take me to see the fertile fields tomorrow, can you take me to see the quagmire with saltwater?"
"Hmm. The stone naphtha that was wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, nodded when he heard the words: "No problem, I'll introduce you then, and we'll go hunting in the forest when it's over, no problem, right?"
"Okay, no problem. Yougen smiled with satisfaction and said, "Then I'll go back." ”
