Zhen Zhen experienced that mysterious feeling once again, she seemed to be integrated with the earth, not only could see the roots and stems of various plants in the soil, but also felt the vegetation on the ground.

She walked through the fields, and the sweet potatoes and potatoes buried in the ground immediately changed from one to two, and from two to a pile; the corn on the corn stalks inadvertently grew two ears...

Zhen Zhen, who was lying on the kang, fell into a deep sleep, but her consciousness was still swimming in the earth. She came to the river and saw fish swimming in the water, and Ming Nan and He who were fishing with fishing rods on the bank. Ming North. Zhen Zhen thought that she hadn't eaten any fish since her teething, and her saliva was drooling.

On the shore, the fishing rods in Mingnan and Mingbei's hands fell fiercely, and the two exclaimed, hurriedly dragging the fishing rods up. Zhen Zhen couldn't help laughing, and continued to control her consciousness to the familiar Hongsong Mountain. At this time, three women picking wild vegetables and mushrooms sat on the stone and took out the wild vegetable dumplings they brought, and picked a few half-baked from the tree. of wild fruits, one bite of dumplings and one bite of wild fruits to satisfy hunger.

"See the sky to pick, it hasn't rained much this year, and the mushrooms are getting less and less." said a woman who quenched her thirst by eating wild fruits.

"It's not good." Another complaining complained: "But you have to try your luck. You can pick it up and dry it in the winter. At least there is something to eat in winter."

"How can mushrooms fight hunger? I think they have to hunt. I saw Li Muwu from Lao Li's family went up the mountain again today with a hunting/gun. I don't know what his family can hit."

Zhen Zhen saw that the mushrooms and wild vegetables near the bottom of the mountain had basically been picked, she couldn't help sighing, her little hand gently pointed down, a green light drilled into the soil, fresh wild vegetables and plump mushrooms grew out.

The more people walked into the mountains, the fewer people there were. Suddenly, a gunshot sounded. Zhen Zhen followed the sound and looked at the sound, only to see Li Muwu pointing at a wild boar with fangs on the opposite side. The injured wild boar was vicious. He stared at Li Muwu with a fierce look. Mingxi held a hunting knife in the back, looked at the long fangs of the wild boar, and swallowed nervously.

When Li Muwu is idle, he usually goes into the mountains to hunt. He usually doesn't have to travel too far to meet a pheasant or a hare, but if he wants to eat more meat, he must go to the deep mountains and old forests.

Tomorrow Mingdong will take the train to Bingcheng to go to college. Li Muwu is thinking about going to the mountain to make a roe deer and stew some meat, so that Mingdong can have a good meal before he leaves home. But there was no roe deer on the way, Li Muwu took Mingxi farther and farther, and the wild boar happened to face each other.

In the past, when hunting wild boars, there were usually seven or eight people, and at least three hunting/guns were required. Although Li Muwu held the gun to block Mingxi, he was somewhat at a loss.

The pain on his body angered the wild boar, it shook its head, let out a roar, and rushed towards Li Muwu, who took a step back and shot the wild boar again.

It's a pity that this wild boar is too big. Although Li Muwu's gun hit it on the head, it still didn't fall down after shaking it twice.

With another roar, the wild boar seemed to sense that the thing in Li Muwu's hand was too dangerous, it moved a little to the left, and when Li Muwu moved the gun, it slammed to the right.

Li Muwu watched the wild boar leap from his side to the back, his heart suddenly became cold, he quickly turned around and saw that Li Mingxi was holding a hunting knife in both hands and just split off the wild boar's head, Zhen Zhen was watching from the side. Frightened, she was afraid that the wild boar would bite Li Mingxi, so she subconsciously stretched out her small hand and patted it on the head. Suddenly, the wild boar tilted its head and fell to the ground, out of breath.

Letting go of the knife in his hand, Mingxi took two steps back until his legs were weak. He pointed at the bloody wild boar's head and asked in disbelief, "Did I chop to death?"

"It should be." Li Muwu looked at the large piece of the wild boar's head and was not sure: "Why did you smash the skull of the wild boar with one knife?"

"I don't know either." Mingxi almost cried when he saw it: "Isn't this the first time I follow you to hunt wild boars? I guess I was too scared just now."

After resting for a while, the two men hoisted the wild boar up to let blood. Two people such a big wild boar could not carry them down the mountain. According to the previous hunting practice, usually after the blood was drained, the belly was cut open, and the meat was taken down, and what could not be taken was placed on the mountain.

After the blood was drained, Li Muwu took a hunting knife and cut off all four pig legs, tied two at the front and the back with hemp rope, and let Mingxi carry it on his back. After splitting more than half of the wild boar, Li Muwu didn't dislike the stench, so he directly carried the wild boar on his shoulders in the middle of the night.

Li Muwu used to carry sacks in the grain store. With a bag of 200 catties, he could walk fast with one bag at a time. Most of the wild boar's body was estimated to be more than 300 catties. It was a little difficult for him to carry the pork on his shoulders, but still From time to time, he urged Li Mingxi: "Hurry up, this wild boar is not well cooked, so it needs to be stewed for a while. If it's too late, you may have to eat it at night."

The father and son walked for half an hour before they heard a faint voice. Li Muwu heard the voice familiar, so he walked over there. He saw three girls digging wild vegetables there, and saw a bloody man from behind the tree. It came out startled.

"Oh, Li Muwu, you're scaring people to death." A woman stood up and complained when she saw the wild boar on Li Muwu's back, and immediately envied her: "This is a wild boar, why are you so lucky? Woolen cloth."

"Sister-in-law Zhao, Sister-in-law Li, Gangzi's daughter-in-law is digging vegetables." Li Muwu greeted one by one honestly, and pointed to the mountain: "There is still a small half of the fan left, go home and tell you gentlemen to hurry up and carry it, you may be late. It was taken away by some beast."

"What do you need, old man, we'll take care of this." Sister-in-law Zhao rolled up her sleeves and touched the axe attached to her waist: "Hurry up, there are wild boars and wild vegetables to dig."

"What about half a wild boar, how can we carry a hundred pounds?" Gangzi's daughter-in-law, who just got married, was a little timid.

Sister-in-law Li rolled her eyes at her and couldn't help but tap her on the forehead: "You're not starving yet. If you eat too much, you're afraid you won't be able to carry it back. You'll have to drag it back if you try your best."

Seeing Gangzi's daughter-in-law's face turning pale, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help laughing. She put the basket of wild vegetables aside, dragged her and walked up: "Don't listen to your Auntie Li to scare you, my sister-in-law has an axe. You can carry it with one point. But let’s agree, if you can’t carry it, I can share it with your Aunt Li.”

Glancing at the fat and strong wild boar on Li Muwu's back, Gangzi's wife gritted her teeth: "There's nothing I can't carry, auntie, let's go."

Sister-in-law Zhao responded, then turned around and said to Li Muwu, "Brother Muwu, thank you! I'll wait for my sister-in-law Beng Wanzi to deliver a pot to your family tomorrow."

"That's a good feeling. Sister-in-law's meatballs are delicious." Li Muwu smiled naively.

Sister-in-law Li immediately said, "Didn't you take down the pig's head? I'll take the house for you in a while and ask your brother Li to bring it to you."

"Okay, sister-in-law's pig head is more delicious than Dongzi's mother-in-law's. I still have sorghum wine in my house. You ask Brother Li to come to my house for a drink."

Seeing that the two aunts had something to deliver, Gangzi's wife was in a hurry. She rubbed the corners of her clothes and opened her mouth and said, "Why don't I make pork dumplings for Uncle Li to deliver."

Li Muwu suddenly laughed: "Everyone's family is short of food, so don't waste that noodle. It's not easy for you two to live alone as soon as you get married. Keep it for yourself." He took his son without looking back. up the mountain.

Zhen Zhen didn't stop since she beat the wild boar to death, she continued to drift into the depths of the mountain, suddenly she saw a pile of yellow and bright things three or four meters in the soil, she was just curious to dive in to see what happened, Then came Wang Sufen's voice: "Zhen Zhen got up, how can you sleep like this?"

Consciousness returned to her body instantly, Zhen Zhen opened her eyes and looked at the room sleepily, as if she hadn't recovered. Wang Sufen looked at her dumbfounded lying on the kang, and couldn't help laughing and patted her little butt: "This guy has slept for five or six hours, how can he sleep at night if he doesn't get up?"

Mrs. Li poked her head in from the outside: "I guess she's drowsy, but it's okay, a child of her age just grows up when she sleeps, and our Zhen Zhen is a child, it's a relief."

Wang Sufen washed the towel and wiped Zhen Zhen's face, only then did Zhen Zhen come back to her senses, she sat up straight, climbed a few steps to the window sill and looked out, couldn't help recalling the taste of the dream just now. Zhen Zhen didn't know whether she was separated from her body, her soul or her mind, but this feeling not only did not make her feel tired, on the contrary, her whole body was like soaking in warm water in the cold winter and twelfth lunar month, it was very warm and comfortable, like Received the back-feeding and nourishment of the earth.

Wang Sufen saw Zhen Zhen sitting on the window sill and couldn't get up, so she quickly slapped her hands and waved to her: "Come here quickly, Mom will take you to eat chicken cake." Zhen Zhen touched her stomach, only then did she realize that she missed lunch, and hurriedly greeted her. Wang Sufen climbed up.

Holding Zhen Zhen in his arms, Wang Sufen carried her to the West Room, when Osmanthus saw Zhen Zhen came out, she quickly brought out a bowl of stewed tender chicken cakes from the cauldron, opened the cupboard again, and put the crushed pine nuts out. Jen scooped a spoonful onto the chicken cake.

Wang Sufen hugged Zhen Zhen and sat under the stove, feeding her one bite at a time. Osmanthus lifted the lid of another pot, picked out the pasted cakes one by one and put them aside to cool.

Wang Sufen glanced at it and instructed: "It will be a few days on the train. You can fry some egg sauce tomorrow morning, put it in a can, and bring it to Mingdong to eat on the train."

Osmanthus' face became thin, and she quickly responded. At this time, Mingnan and Mingbei opened the door and the whole yard shouted: "Nurs! Mom! Look at what we caught?"

Mrs. Li walked out with a cigarette bag, and at a glance, she saw that Ming Bei was carrying a ten-pound fat-headed fish, and Ming Nan was carrying a wooden bucket, which splashed some water from time to time, and didn't know what living things were in it.

"Such a big fish? You two boys can do it!" Old lady Li smiled and narrowed her eyes. She took two steps forward and lowered her head to look into the bucket. Woolen cloth.

"Hurry up, put this live thing in the big basin of our house and put it in a high place, don't let the mice take it away at night." Mrs. Li gave instructions in a hurry, and did not forget to shout at the top of her voice. : "Osmanthus, quickly bring the fish in and make two meals." Then he instructed Ming Bei: "Go to your third uncle's house and ask them to come over for dinner at night."

Mingbei sat on the small wooden stool by the door and rubbed his arms and called out, "Oh my mother, why don't you let your grandson take a break? Just get these two fish, my brother and I have been tossing about for almost an hour. Just walked home."

In the past, Mrs. Li would have to say something trash and then hit him with a smoking bag, but now, for the sake of the fish, Mrs. Li didn't care about him too much, instead she gave him a handful of fried pine nuts. The two are thirsty.

The yard was bustling with excitement, and an earth-shattering gong shouted from outside the door: "My mother!"

Mrs. Li shivered in fright, then turned around and said, "What are you shouting? I'm not dead yet!"
