Porridge and side dishes [farming]

Being dragged by Er Gouzi to walk into the jungle, Li Ji was nervous and scared at first, but after walking for more than half an hour, he didn't have so much thought. Walking in the depths of the forest with one foot deep and one foot shallow, it should be said that it is a forest now, and two cuts were made on the trouser leg. Li Ji looked at it and thought about going back to mend it with thread, so it should not be a waste of cloth to patch.

"How long?" Li Ji couldn't help asking.

Er Gouzi looked back with confusion in his eyes, Li Ji asked, "How far is it?"

Er Gouzi pointed to the distance: "Over there."

The communication with Er Gouzi was obviously very difficult, Li Ji could only admit it, and came here.Intuition told him that Er Gouzi would not harm him, but Li Ji, whose feet were sore, could only pray to get there quickly, or he would suffer if there were blisters.

Li Ji never expected that the two walked from the afternoon to the evening like this. The trees blocked the sun, and the light became darker. When Li Ji asked the No. 12 time when it would arrive, Er Gouzi finally stopped and pointed The cave in the distance said: "Home."

Li Ji looked around and saw that it was a cave half covered by rocks, and only the inside of the black hole could be faintly seen from the top.There was still a bit of ashes at the door, and some unidentifiable animal skins.Obviously someone has lived here, and this person is Er Gouzi.

Er Gouzi has lived here all these years?

The two walked over, Er Gouzi picked up a leather that was already dirty and couldn't see its original color and said, "Here you are."

Although Li Ji is not a clean freak, he didn't dare to take it when he saw it, it was too dirty.

"Put that first." Even though it's dirty, it's still leather. You can buy some money after you take it back and wash it. "Do you have anything else?"

Li Ji sat on the fallen tree trunk by the cave, looking at the ashes on the ground: "Can you make a fire?"

Ergouzi nodded, and Li Ji asked again: "Who taught you?"

Er Gouzi's eyes were red, and he said hoarsely: "Mother."

Li Ji's heart skipped a beat, and he remembered that Li Yan took Er Gouzi to dig a cave in the mountains to live alone. Many things were inconvenient and he had to find a way to solve them.

Li Yan used to be the darling in the palm of her parents' hands, but she was too tough, and she didn't know how much she had to suffer in the mountains with Er Gouzi, so that when Er Gouzi left him at the age of five, he had the ability to be alone. People have lived in the mountains for so many years.

Li Ji didn't want to know what happened almost 20 years ago, but just the fact that he had two dogs by birth alone was enough for Li Ji to admire Li Yan.

"What else did she teach you?"

Er Gouzi thought very seriously, and turned his head to move the stone at the entrance of the cave: "The entrance of the cave must be blocked." He said while moving.

Li Ji has no experience of surviving on the mountain, but he can guess that this is to prevent wild animals from entering.

After the general moved out of the way that people could pass, Er Gouzi went in and took out some weapons that seemed to be used for hunting.

The straight wooden sticks are tied with sharp animal bones. Judging by the degree of wear and tear, they have been used for a long time.To be honest, it's rough, but it looks very practical.

Unknowingly, Li Ji began to wonder how Ergouzi fell into the trap near the village that day, but he would not ask, because he knew that the current Ergouzi would definitely not be able to tell.

The sun is almost out of sight, and the temperature is also dropping. Autumn nights are very difficult, because the gap with the day is too great.

Er Gouzi took out dry firewood from the hole, and took out two flints from nowhere to start a fire.Watching the smoke rise slowly, the body warmed up by the light of the fire.

It has to be said that Li Ji was impressed by Er Gouzi's actions, surprised but not surprised.A five-year-old child can already understand a lot, but how does one spend these years alone?Who will accompany him when he is lonely?

The more I think about it, the more pity Er Gouzi feels.

"Do you like to take it here or live with me?" Li Ji asked suddenly.

Er Gouzi tilted his head and thought for a while before arriving: "Where you are, I will be there."

"Why?" They only knew each other for a day.

Er Gouzi grinned brightly: "I like you."

Li Ji said dumbly, he didn't know where Er Gouzi learned these four characters, and it didn't seem like Li Yan could teach them.Knowing that perhaps Er Gouzi himself doesn't know the meaning of these four words is enough to warm Li Ji's heart.

"Then you should go back to live with me in the future. Living in a cave for a long time is not good for your health. There are still so many people in the village, so it's lively. This winter will be more difficult, and it will be fine after the winter. I will take care of the village with you next year." Well, let's eat more, and we will be full next winter."

Li Ji has lived alone for two years, since he was 14 years old, is he lonely?That's for sure, no matter how good the relationship between the villagers is, there is a little distance. Every day, I cook and cook by myself. Every time I cook rice, I have to carefully consider how much I put into the pot. Sometimes I think about raising a dog as a companion, but Li Jitian is afraid. Dog, no matter what.

Er Gouzi's stomach started beating when he heard Li Ji's three words full, and then he stood up: "I'm looking for something to eat, wait for me."

Er Gouzi tried his best to find the words he knew to express his thoughts. Li Ji wanted to help, but he remembered that this place is deep in the mountains and old forests. Er Gouzi has lived here for so many years. son looking for him.

So I simply sat by the fire and watched Er Gouzi leave.

Er Gouzi has a lot of life experience, and he put a lot of dry firewood in the cave.Li Ji took out a burning log from the fire and went into the cave to have a look.The innermost one is barely a bed, built with random branches, covered with a layer of leather that can no longer be seen as a beast, and a thick leather that should be used as a quilt.

Er Gouzi didn't lie to him, he does have leather, but it's still some leather that has not been used for a long time and has not been maintained. Looking at the whole leather, it should be a large beast. If it is a good residual leather, it is worth a lot of money. Now the price is very high. discounted.I don't know how Er Gouzi killed him.

I didn't see the bowls and chopsticks, and I didn't see the clothes. It seems that Er Gouzi was only wearing the rags tied around his waist when he first met him. How did he pass the winter?

After looking around, Li Ji went out of the cave with his hands, added some firewood to the much smaller fire, and swept the wet soil on the ground with both feet boredly. Er Gouzi finally came back.

At this time, no matter how big Li Ji's heart was, he was a little bit scared. This place was no better than the village, and there was not even a house that made people feel at ease.

"Er Gouzi?" Li Ji called out.Er Gouzi responded, and came over with a rabbit whose neck had been broken, and a big leaf wrapped up in his hand.

Er Gouzi came over and put the big leaf in his hand on the ground. There were some nuts in it. Er Gouzi put it down and saw it. He went to the side to bleed and peel the rabbit skin. Li Ji found a stone and cracked open the nuts, took out the kernels and put them together. He looked at Er Gouzi After picking the rabbit skin, he threw the rabbit skin aside, then found a branch to put on the rabbit and roasted it on the fire.

Li Ji gave half of the nuts to Er Gouzi, but Er Gouzi shook his head: "I'm not hungry, you eat."

I don't know whose stomach is beating loudly.Li Ji couldn't help but stuff the nuts into Er Gouzi's hands: "I know you have a big appetite, and you won't be full if I give you all the food. I just want a leg. You eat more, and we'll go back tomorrow morning." , I’ll give you big cakes to eat when I go back.”

I don't know that Er Gouzi didn't understand, so he took the nuts and stuffed them into his mouth, and then concentrated on grilling.Li Ji chewed on the nuts one by one, and his stomach was not so hungry.After a while the meat was cooked, Er Gouzi gave Li Ji both hind legs and then opened his mouth to eat the rest of the meat. Li Ji took a bite of the meat, the meat was very tough, although there was no seasoning , but it is also a delicacy for Li Ji who has not been a meat star for some days.

One rabbit ate up quickly, Li Ji was half full, and Er Gouzi was at most stuffed between his teeth.A fire was also lit in the cave, and all the firewood that could be removed from the fire outside the cave was taken away and sent into the cave, and the rest would not burn for a while.

After entering the cave, the two of them lay on the pile of branches that could be regarded as a bed. Li Ji was very uncomfortable with the smell.

The fire was near the entrance of the cave, in order to smoke the people in the cave.Li Ji always liked to be clean, but he was in the mountains, and the ghosts and wolves howling outside the cave disturbed the tranquility, so he couldn't sleep at all.

"Have you been here all these years?" Unable to fall asleep, he had nothing to say.

"In many places, here is safe, there is a lot of meat, and there are fruits."

With a few simple words, it is not difficult to guess what Er Gouzi has been living these years.Li Ji licked the oil on the corners of his lips, suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he finally came to his senses.

"Why did I forget! Er Gouzi, don't you know how to hunt? If you hunt more hunters, we will sell the skins for money, and the salted meat to sell game. Not to mention too many, one in three to five days is enough." We have enough food and clothing for the winter."

When I just ate rabbit, my mind was full of meat, and I only remembered it after eating it.Why bother with these two pieces of dirty leather that I don't know how many years have been used?Er Gouzi is familiar with the mountains, and his hunting skills are probably no worse than that of Orion, and he can go to places that Orion dare not go, and he will definitely catch more prey.

He is afraid of danger. Although Er Gouzi has lived in danger for more than ten years, Li Ji still wants to keep Er Gouzi away as much as possible.

"What do you want, I'll grab it."

Li Ji wanted to kiss Er Gouzi, stretched out his hand and rubbed Er Gouzi's head vigorously, and heaved a sigh of relief with a smile.When looking for a home for Er Gouzi, Gao Liehu found all the people in the village surnamed Li before finding him here. If Li Ji didn't accept Er Gouzi, then Er Gouzi would have to be sent back to the mountain.

At that time, everyone thought that he must be drinking blood and bare hair on the mountain, and that sending him back would be no different from dying.Li Ji had few relatives and lived alone. When he decided to keep Er Gouzi, he was even prepared to eat the bark for the winter, but he didn't expect Er Gouzi to bring him such a big surprise.

Now Li Ji really wants to know how the people in the village who are related to Er Gouzi feel now.
