Traveling through ancient times as a hunter

After eating and drinking, Cheng Duo told Brother Yong about his thoughts, but Brother Yong shook his head after hearing it: "Do you know how far it is from our Yang'er Village to the nearest market?"

Of course, Cheng Duo didn't know this question, and Brother Yong didn't expect him to answer, so he answered: "Start from the first cock crowing in the morning, until the sun hangs on the mountainside, and you have to hurry up after shopping." Go back, or you will have to travel at night."

Cheng Duo converted it with modern time: from the first rooster crowing in the morning, it was about 02:30 in the morning to about [-]:[-] in the morning; the sun was hanging on the mountainside, it should be [-]:[-] or [-]:[-] in the morning... This journey is really enough Far.

Although this distance is less than an hour's drive in modern times, this is an ancient time where traffic is all about walking and communication is all about roaring.The mountain road is rugged, and it is impossible for him to build an ox cart or something. In case something happens along the way, he has to find a way to get the ox back...

Take a step back and say, no bullock cart, and he is not in a hurry, so let's stay there for one night.But after all, he was going to buy supplies, carrying big and small bags, and the distance was too far.

"Then what do you say?" He couldn't help but buy it.

"It's very simple. The village near us has what you want. I'll find someone to take you to buy it." Brother Yong was a little complacent when he said this. He looked down and pointed to the pile of internal organs that he specially put away: "If you don't want to give money, you can use this as payment."

"Yes." Cheng Duo paused. To be honest, the viscera of a pheasant is much smaller than that of a chicken, and he didn't have any flour or salt to wash. He just dug a hole and buried it.

It turns out that there are still people who want this thing, no wonder when the little brother plucked the chicken, he specially used a big leaf to collect all the internal organs.

"Then wait..." Seeing that Cheng Duo agreed, Brother Yong pulled out a grass stalk from the side of the road to wrap up the offal, and then ran away quickly with it and the chicken leg he had just obtained.

Brother Yong ran back to his home, and first poked his head around the door of the dilapidated small courtyard, and found that only Dad was weaving bamboo baskets in the yard, and the two brothers seemed to be absent.

"Father." Brother Yong called out, took out the bamboo tube hidden behind him, and handed it to his father as if offering a treasure: "Look at what this is!"

"Where did you get the chicken legs?" Li Wang was taken aback, and subconsciously looked into the room. Although he knew that his two bastard sons were out and not at home, he lowered his voice: "How many times have I told you? Just eat it outside, and what to do with it!"

"Father, I've eaten outside, this is for you." Brother Yong said, his father said that every time, and he was used to it.

"I'm getting old, why would I eat chicken drumsticks!" Li Wang refused.

"Father, just eat..."

The father and son pushed me and I pushed you for a while, finally considering that Li Da and Li Er might come back at any time, in order not to waste time, they simply shared the chicken legs together and ate them.

To be honest, how big a pheasant leg can be is only for two people to taste.Seeing Brother Yong's innocent and satisfied face, Li Wang just wanted to sigh in his heart: If it wasn't for him as a father who couldn't teach his son well, how could Brother Yong have suffered with him!

It may be because of unsatisfactory life, Li Wang looks older than his brother Li Mancang, his temples are gray when he is less than fifty, and his right leg that cannot be bent after being broken makes him look a little bit older. sluggish.

In fact, if it wasn't for Brother Yong who still needed him, Li Wang would have felt hopeless.

"Father..." Brother Yong sighed again when he saw his father, he wanted to tell him that he got a piece of silver and wanted to make his father happy.But after thinking about it, he can still explain the chicken legs, how should he explain the origin of the money?

If he was telling the truth, his father would definitely be worried...

Unable to find an excuse, Brother Yong simply stopped talking, buried the big bones left over from eating chicken legs in the ground, and went into the house to get a sickle from the gap.

"Father, I took this back basket? Mr. Li asked me to help people grow vegetables. There are a lot of weeds in the field, so I took it to fill the grass." Brother Yong saw that his father had made a new one, so he Going to use the old one.

He didn't cut the grass for nothing, he filled his back and carried it to those who raised cattle and sheep. Although they were not willing to give money, they were willing to give beans or a few vegetables.

"What are you doing with the old ones? Get new ones. It's easy for Dad to weave a few bamboo baskets, and the owner has given you chicken legs. You can give them a good one." Li Wang said kindly. Every household in the village knows this kind of bamboo baskets. Make it up, even if you want to sell it, you can't sell it.

He knew that the chicken legs must have been given by Brother Yong's part-time job. Since others gave them all the chicken legs, it would not be worthwhile to exchange him for a bamboo basket: "If it is not enough, come back and tell Dad."

"Father, don't..."

"No need, take it!"

Seeing that his father was about to get angry, Brother Yong reluctantly changed into a new pannier: "Father, I'm going out now."

Li Wang nodded: "Well, come back early after work."

After going out, Brother Yong was planning to find his little friend, but he happened to run into a scholar in the village wearing a patched gown and a cloth scarf in a bun.

As soon as the scholar saw Yong Ge'er, he showed contempt and heartbroken: "A brother who shows his face all day long, how decent is he!"

Brother Yong rolled his eyes, this guy is almost out of control at home, and he still has the heart to criticize him!He didn't want to listen to the scholar's nagging, so he turned around and planned to go another way.

In fact, the girls and brothers from the peasant family are not as good as those from the rich family, and they all have to go out to work.The reason why the poor scholar surnamed Liu only targeted Brother Yong was because last time he secretly went to Ershilipo to find work by himself, and was accidentally spotted by this old-fashioned old man.

Of course, Brother Yong didn't find a job either—one could tell from his stature that he was a brother, and thought he was weak, so they refused to give him a chance at all.As for the kind of work that doesn't require much effort, Brother Yong himself is not willing.

That Liu Shusheng relied on his own reading, and he usually likes to preach to people. Obviously Brother Yong ignored him, but he was still talking about "the world is going down, people's hearts are not old".

It's just that his retribution came very quickly, a lump of soil came out of nowhere and hit him on the head, making him "ouch".

Before Liu Shusheng had time to see who it was, another lump of dirt flew over——

Brother Yong covered his mouth and gloated: "You deserve it!"

"Bastard, bastard, it's really insulting to gentlemen..." Liu Shusheng ran away in a huff.

Brother Yong stood there and waited for a while, and sure enough Shanwazi quickly got out from under the eaves of a nearby house.

Shanwazi is just 11 years old this year, and like him, his family is poor.But their family is poor because of their elder brother and second brother, and Shanwazi's family is poor because his mother's illness exhausted his family's wealth, and because they have many children.

Shanwazi is the eldest in the family, and has four younger siblings.His mother fell ill and passed away three years ago, and Shanwazi's father was doing odd jobs in Ershilipo, returning only once a month.

So Shanwazi became the pillar of the family, and he was also clever, running up and down the mountains like Brother Yong, just to fill the mouths of the family.

"I was going to find you, are you free?" Brother Yong said.Shanwazi is different from him. Their family has two acres of land, and his father can't come back from odd jobs, so he and his two older siblings planted it together.

"What's the matter?"

Brother Yong briefly explained the matter, Shanwazi was a little hesitant: "Is the person you mentioned, the one who beat Aunt Guihua's scalper to death with a punch?"

A cow can be knocked down with one punch, if he makes the other party dissatisfied, will the other party beat him too?He is no better than a bull...

"..." Brother Yong was a little speechless, how long has the rumor spread like this?

"No, who did you listen to... It was obvious that the cow went mad and rushed out to hit him, so he pushed the cow down, and he didn't kill the cow..." Brother Yong briefly described what happened, and then spoke to the point. Authentic: "Actually, he is pretty nice, but he looks fierce, and he won't hit people casually."

"Really?" Shanwazi was still a little scared. He heard that Brother Yong's two bully brothers had been beaten. Could he not be afraid?

"Really, can I still lie to you?" Brother Yong was helpless, thought for a while and said: "Actually, he gave me back the chicken legs today, big chicken legs. If it wasn't inconvenient for me to be a brother, I would go by myself. "

"Chicken legs..." Speaking of chicken legs, Shan Wazi's saliva almost came down

Brother Yong thought of Shanwazi's younger siblings, and finally gave him the things: "Forget it, I'll give you this bag of chicken offal, you can go or not."

Anyway, Cheng Duo didn't seem to care about the bag of internal organs, at worst he would lead the way by himself.

Shanwazi is still young, but he is not the kind of person who eats for free. When he took the things, he also made up his mind: "I will go."

Although the internal organs are not easy to take care of, they are still meat, enough for him and his younger siblings to have a tooth sacrifice.

"Wait, I'll take the things back first."

Shanwazi went home and put away his things, and soon followed Brother Yong to Cheng Duo.

Before Shanwazi came, he thought that the rumors might be exaggerated, but when he saw Cheng Duo, he felt that this person was really scary.Just standing there, he felt like he was being watched by a wolf, even scarier than a wolf...

I have to say that Shanwazi's animal intuition is quite accurate. Fortunately, Cheng Duo didn't care, nodded his chin at him, and asked as gently as possible: "What's your name?"

"Shan Wazi..."

"That's fine, I'll call you Shanwazi, you can call me... Brother Cheng." Cheng Duo subconsciously glanced at Brother Yong, wanting to say that he could also be called that, but thinking that Brother Yong is a brother, he simply didn't mention it. , follow him.

But it was this glance that made him notice the basket and sickle behind Brother Yong, and he was immediately satisfied with his diligent work attitude, and he said casually: "We are leaving, you work hard, don't run around .”

He originally had good intentions, worrying that Brother Yong would encounter wild animals in the forest and be in danger.

But because the tone of voice was too straight, the taste changed in Yonggeer's ears, just like the landlord master telling his parents not to be lazy...

Brother Yong: "...I see."
