Chapter 140: Survival in the Drought Year (30)

As she spoke, her shoulders drooped, "I don't know what's going on, but when I followed suit, my body became dirty, with a lot of dirt."

After hearing this, Grandpa's eyes straightened, and he looked dull. Suning didn't know what he had realized, but he wisely didn't bother him.

When he was about to return to the chestnut forest, Grandpa came back to his senses, stroked his short beard, and said, "Chunhua, this old monk is a master!"

Su Ning asked in cooperation: "Why did grandpa say that? Why is the old monk an expert?"

"What you excrete is the dirty things in your body. We eat whole grains, and there are a lot of dirty things in our bodies. Of course it's a good thing to get rid of them...Although grandpa doesn't know what it has to do with exercise. But this thing is always right after practice, and our whole family will practice it in the future."

As he was talking, he entered the chestnut forest. Grandpa quickly shut up and asked Suning not to talk nonsense.

Meals have already been cooked in front of the wooden house. This time when Dad came in, they brought some brown rice and they were cooking brown rice porridge on the stove.

Dad, Uncle Yu and the others have already woken up, and they are around repairing tools or talking.

After eating and resting for 10 minutes, Old Uncle Yu locked the wooden door, and the whole group set off to hunt.

I didn’t go to Wild Boar Ridge this time. Although Wild Boar Ridge was named after wild boars, after two days, Suning’s grandfather and grandson found that the name was not true. They had never seen a large number of wild boars here and there. Rare.

Also because of the presence of outsiders, Suning and grandpa don't have so much free time, so they can only follow the team.

But grandpa didn't worry about it, instead he comforted Suning, it's only late autumn, time is long, when the time comes, they will just come in by themselves.

However, every afternoon after hunting, Grandpa would take her to a nearby stream to practice in the name of taking her for a walk after dinner, and she could wash her body immediately after the practice.

But within a few days, Suning heard Uncle Shuanzi looking at her and asking his father, "Brother Dali, you see we are all tanned, why are your spring flowers getting whiter and whiter?"

The old man was also very puzzled, scratching his head, looking puzzled, "I don't know, maybe, my daughter is naturally fair-skinned?"

He didn't even believe what he said, after all, he and his mother were not white people at all!

But apart from this explanation, the old man couldn't think of a second reason even after trying his brain cells.

Uncle Shuanzi chuckled, accepting the remarks.

Suning looked at her grandfather worriedly. She has changed significantly after only a few days of practice, and the changes will be even greater in the future. How should she explain it to others?

Grandpa looked at her with an old god, "Calm down!"

Uh, Suning is a little sluggish, when did grandpa learn this word?

Fortunately, they had accumulated a lot of prey this time. Although there was only one wild boar, the hare, pheasant, and silly roe deer also caught a red-haired fox, which was quite a harvest.

Originally, I only planned to let Dad and Uncle Shuanzi go down the mountain, but just before leaving, it started to rain.

The pattering rain did not delay the footsteps of Dad and Uncle Shuanzi, but Uncle Yu waved his palm and everyone went down the mountain.

After this autumn rain, the temperature in the mountains will drop rapidly, and it will snow soon. The beasts in the mountains will also find hiding caves before that, busy collecting food for the winter.

In other words, there will not be too many prey in the mountains, and there is no need for them to stay here.

Before setting off, Old Uncle Yu deliberately asked Uncle Shuanzi and Uncle Gouwa to find the place where Chen Erhu and Datou were staying, and asked if they wanted to go back together.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Shuanzi and Uncle Gouwa rushed to nothing, Chen Erhu and the others left long ago, and the traces of the fire left on the ground were almost blown away by the wind and trampled away by the prey, which shows that they left for a long time.

"It's from the same village anyway, so I didn't know what to say before I left, this Chen Erhu is too dishonest..."

After hearing this, Old Uncle Yu scolded Uncle Shuanzi for complaining, tapped his pipe on the stake, and frowned.

At this time, even Cheng Yongxu, who didn't care about anything, realized that something was wrong. After asking the reason for the incident, he said directly: "They must have killed a lot of people!"

Cheng Yongxu's astonishing words stunned everyone, Uncle Shuanzi subconsciously blurted out, "Impossible!"

Cheng Yongxu only repeated lightly: "This is the truth."

He was so sure that Uncle Shuanzi felt short of breath for a moment, "No, it's impossible, there are so many of them, they can even kill tigers, and what else can kill people?"

Even the father and grandfather frowned, disapproving... Although they had a lot of conflicts with Chen Erhu and Datou before, they are from the same village and grew up together. Hearing this The rhetoric, somewhat uncomfortable in my heart, unwilling to accept.

Shuanzi's elder brother is also there.

Cheng Yongxu didn't speak any more, he wouldn't waste time for such a person who is unwilling to accept the reality.

Unable to get a reply, Shuanzi mustered up his courage, and when he wanted to ask again, he was stopped by Uncle Yu.

After knocking on his pipe, Old Uncle Yu said in a hoarse voice, "What he said is right. If something happened to Chen Erhu's side, it would be impossible for him to leave early."

"Old Uncle Yu—" Shuan Zi's eyes instantly turned red.

Old Uncle Yu stood up, "Think about how Chen Erhu and Datou are. If there were no accidents, they would have left so early...Let's go, what happened, we will find out when we go back."

Shuanzi, blushing, grabbed old Uncle Yu, and said forcefully, "Old Uncle Yu, they might live in another place."

Old Uncle Yu looked at him, and in the end he didn't say anything that made Shuan Zi sad, "Maybe."

This can be regarded as consolation.

But Shuanzi was not comforted. On the way down the mountain, he was silent, with a decadent air exuding from his whole body. Maybe he knew deep down that what Old Uncle Yu said was the truth.

Everyone walked very fast down the mountain this time. Suning was hugged by grandpas and uncles in turn, but he didn't feel much. He just felt that he could see the village in the distance after sleeping.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but when I entered the village, I clearly felt that the atmosphere in the village was oppressive, which made everyone have a bad premonition.

The family at the top of the mountain is the Li family.

Because the Li family was on the far side and the yard was built big, Old Uncle Yu signaled everyone to put the prey in the Li family's yard first.

Originally, it was time to discuss when to go to the county seat, but Uncle Shuanzi and others were in a hurry to go home and have a look. Moreover, the old lady and grandma seemed hesitant to talk, which made Uncle Shuanzi feel anxious. It was even more anxious.

After putting down the prey, several people left in a hurry.
