The group’s favorite Xiao Long Bao: seven brothers and uncles love it to the extreme

While Ying and Shu Rong were struggling to find Long Baoer outside, Long Baoer and the others were also actively saving themselves.

They had been walking for a long time, and they hadn't seen a single piece of their brothers' clothes. Everyone had long sensed that something was wrong.

"It's useless to go on like this. How about we stop and think of a solution first?" Yingying took the initiative.

"Okay." Lao Wu, the eldest of the group of children, nodded in agreement.

Long Baoer asked the children in several nearby villages, "Have you ever heard your father and brother mention that similar things happened to you?"

Several children shook their heads.

There are quite a few mountains around here, and this mountain is the highest and largest. Usually everyone works in the village, and when cutting firewood, they also go to the nearby mountains to pick up some dry branches.

As for hunting, there are no hunters in the nearby villages.

"No Orions? How come there are no Orions?" Lao Liu interjected.

Go hunting in the mountains every day, and eat barbecue cooked by yourself every day. In the minds of children like Lao Liu and others, this is simply the best career in the world.

Even if you give me a martial arts champion, I won’t change it.

"Just saying, there are obviously many mountains here, how can there be no hunters!"

Lao Wu spent a lot of effort to say what he meant. Long Baoer, the boy next to him, stretched out his little hand to pat Lao Wu's back and gave him the kettle he was carrying.

"That's right, Fifth Brother is right. There are no hunters in so many mountains. No wonder rabbits and pheasants are overrun in the back mountains." Lao Liu said with his arms crossed.

"Has no one ever wanted to eat game?" Xiao Qi also asked weakly.

Xiaoqi's words confused all the children in the group.

How many people in this world don't like to eat meat? If they can find a piece of meat in the dishes during the holidays, they will be happy enough to sleep at night.

On ordinary days, if you can put a few drops of lard in a dish, it is considered a good dish.

But they don't understand why after so many years, no one goes to the mountains to hunt?

Occasionally, you can find some wild animals on the low mountains on both sides, but these are from the surrounding villages, and there are really no dedicated hunters.

"I heard my mother and father say it once." The eldest of the group of children suddenly said weakly, "That was several years ago. At that time, they thought I was asleep. Start this."

"Hurry up and tell me." Xiao Liu urged with some excitement.

The child hesitated for a moment, and then reminded, "It may be a bit scary, but don't be afraid."

Hearing what the child said, Xiao Qi shrank her shoulders in fear at first. Some of the other children looked panicked, while others looked thoughtful. They might have heard similar rumors.

Yingying couldn't help but tighten Long Bao'er's hand, "Long Bao'er, I'm scared."

"Don't be afraid, cousin, I'm still here." Long Baoer turned to Yingying, smiled and squeezed her hand.

Seeing Long Bao'er's smile, Yingying felt a little relieved. She nodded and stayed close to Long Bao'er, listening to what the child said she heard from her parents.

Because I couldn't find a way out, I couldn't find anyone, and the forest was very cold. Lao Wu simply found an open space with his younger brothers and sisters, and searched for some dry firewood around. He used the firewood he brought with him to light a small bonfire in the open space.

The flames lit up and it was warm, and everyone felt relaxed.

"I heard that the year before last. One time when my brother and I were asleep, I wanted to urinate, but I didn't expect to hear my parents talking about what happened in this forest."

The child said while recalling, "I started talking about this many years ago. The surrounding area used to be quite prosperous, with more than a dozen villages, many more than now."

Naturally, there are hunters guarding the mountains and forests. People often go to the mountains to hunt in groups. They put some traps and dig some traps to catch some prey to improve their lives.

You can eat the hare and pheasant at home, or you can go down the mountain to exchange for some money. There were other beasts on him before. I heard there are wolves. There are also foxes. Weasel or something like that.

However, there are no bigger beasts like blind bears or large insects.

I don’t know when it started, but one day they suddenly felt that they were missing a companion. They went to his house to look for him, but they said that he had gone up the mountain a few days ago and had not come back yet.

The people who came to inquire were still cursing when they left, because everyone went up the mountain to hunt together and set traps together. After making an appointment to go up the mountain together, someone went up the mountain in advance, which might take their prey away.

It was originally shared by everyone, but suddenly it was monopolized by others. Who would be happy? So everyone discussed and quickly went up the mountain.

As a result, I didn't see the prey, but I saw the body.

This matter was quite a big deal, and later even the county magistrates came, but they came to a strange conclusion.

This man has been dead for more than half a month.

How could this be possible? Everyone refuted it. Just a few days ago, they went up the mountain to set a trap together. How come the person died half a month ago? So what was that they went up with?

However, with official verification, although there were injuries on his body, they did not appear to be man-made. Everyone just thought that some ferocious beast in the mountains killed him.

As for the body that seemed to have been dead for more than half a month, everyone speculated that the humidity in the forest may have accelerated the decomposition of the body.

The case was closed, and although everyone felt uncomfortable for a few days, they all forgot about it.

Unexpectedly, a few days later another life would occur.

This time it was a foreigner.

I heard that I passed by here on time for the exam, so I stayed in the village for two days to prepare for going to the capital during the exam time. After all, the expenses outside the suburbs of Beijing are infinitely less than those in the capital.

All he needed to do was give the farmhouse where he was staying a little money and he would have a quiet room to live in, and three meals a day would be included.

But that day, this move meant that I was tired from studying for many days and wanted to go out and relax.

Since the village is not too far from the mountain, it can be traveled back and forth in half a day. I thought that even a scholar would not have the energy to climb to the top of the mountain. He might climb back to the mountainside and be able to catch lunch at noon, so he didn't care. .

As a result, the lunch was cooked, but Juzi did not come back. Everyone thought he was slow, so they warmed the food in the pot and waited for him to come back.

Not to mention that he didn't come back at noon, or at night, or even the next day.
