Miao'an's farming life

The north wind blew all day yesterday, and the temperature immediately dropped a lot. There were fewer people chatting and playing chess under the big locust tree. In addition, more than a dozen people went into the mountain. The village seemed much quieter, and hens could be heard from time to time. cooing and barking.

The clothes made for the town have been finished, Qiu Ama took the latest batch of deliveries, only Qiu Wen and Miao An are at home.

Qiu Wen sighed, put down the scissors in his hand, and finally couldn't help but said to Miao An across the table: "Anzi, I'm about to get stabbed. Anzi!"

"Ah? What! What's wrong?"

Miao An, who was not knowing how many times his soul wandered into the sky, was suddenly startled, and asked with wide-eyed eyes.

Qiuwen didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.Miao An came back to his senses completely, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He put the messy fabric and half-punched needles on the table, and rubbed his face.

"Are you sleepy? Go back and sleep for a while." Qiu Wen was a little worried. Miao An had been up two nights sewing a cotton vest.

"No." Miao An shook his head, "I'm just wondering why Mo Su and the others haven't come back yet."

Most of them go into the mountains for about three days every year, because everyone is not a professional hunter and they don’t bring much dry food. If they stay for a long time, the gain is not worth the loss. Occasionally, when the prey is abundant, it may be extended to four days.But it's already the fifth day, and Mo Su and the others haven't come back yet, for some reason, Miao An's heart is always uneasy.

"Don't worry too much, you should be back today." Qiu Wen also felt strange, but didn't think too much about it. After all, there were so many people together, and Zhang Orion was an experienced old Orion, so nothing would happen.

Miao An nodded, hoping that he was thinking too much, silently muttering to Mo Su to come back soon, he had had enough of the feeling of worrying about not seeing each other.

After lunch, Miao An continued to practice sewing and mending. In the future, I really need to live a real life. I must pay close attention to all kinds of life skills. With Qiu Wen as a "master", he can learn quickly.

"I'm back, I'm back!" Youyou rushed in three steps at a time, with two braids dangling in the sky, shouting repeatedly, "Brother, the person who entered the mountain is back!"

Miao An was startled, the needle in his hand accidentally stuck into his finger, the blood oozed out immediately, and a small piece fainted on the plain cloth.Regardless of this little injury, he threw everything in his hand aside and stared at Yoyo intently.

"Have you seen Mo Su?"

"This..." Youyou got stuck, scratched her head, and said with a wrinkled face, "I saw the village chief enter the village entrance, followed by a group of people, and carried several pigs, and came back in a hurry. Bro, we must be together Yes."

Miao An sighed, and lightly poked Yoyo's forehead, this kid became more and more irritable.

"Okay then, let's go take a look."

"Brother." Yoyo tugged Miao An's arm back, "The one on your eye, that one."

Miao An reacted, and suddenly remembered that there was indeed something on her face, so she quickly took it off.Just after eating at noon, Miao An's left eyelid kept twitching, which was really uncomfortable, so he found some wheat husk and dipped it in water to stick it on his eyelid.Although a bit superstitious, I have to say that the left eyelid jump instead of the right eye made Miao An's uneasy heart a lot more at ease. After listening to Youyou's words, the left eye jumps for money, maybe it means hunting something big.

The two hurried to the village head's house. The village head was directing the distribution of the wild boars, and the yard was very lively.Miao An and Yoyo walked around the crowd several times but couldn't find Mo Su, so they couldn't help but squeezed in front of the village chief.

"Village Chief, have you seen Mo Su?"

Unexpectedly, when the village head saw him, his expression changed, he seemed a little at a loss, moved his lips but didn't say anything.Miao An felt strange. At this time, the people around him became quiet for some reason, and he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Miao An, don't worry, Mo Su..." Someone in the crowd uttered a voice, but was stopped. From the sound, it seemed to be Zhang Orion's son.

"Village head." Miao An turned his head and stared at the village head again.

"Alas." The village chief sighed lightly, but it fell straight into Miao An's heart. The regret and helplessness on that kind face gave him an urge to run away.

"I'm thinking of going to your house later. There's a lot of prey this year. We've already caught a lot of things on the third day. I wanted to come back, but Zhang Orion found some traces of wild boars. Everyone agreed to go to the house. Try your luck, Mo Su was still around at that time, and it was thanks to him that he hunted so many wild boars, but then he disappeared at some point, and everyone searched for him for a day, only to find his clothes by the side of a deep pit. corner, there is still some blood. It is very likely that Mo Su has..."

"impossible."

Miao An categorically denied it, her tone didn't fluctuate, but her hands trembled involuntarily, her throat seemed to be strangled by someone, and she couldn't breathe.

The village chief patted Miao An on the shoulder, and he felt uncomfortable.Mo Su and Miao An just got married, who would have imagined that such a thing would happen, Miao An's father lost his life because he went into the mountain, although he went into the mountain to cut firewood, but now the tragedy happened again, he was really afraid that Miao An would die again. Fallen like before.

"Anzi, you're still young, if Mo Su is really...you have to think about yourself and Yoyo." Aunt Shen said with a worried expression on her face, holding Miao An's hand.

"Brother." Yoyo carefully tugged at the corner of his clothes, the appearance of his eldest brother made him very scared.

Miao An was silent for a few seconds, raised his hand, wiped his face vigorously, and asked calmly, "Who was the last to see Mo Su?"

"Me." The person who spoke at the beginning was indeed Zhang Shu, the son of Zhang Orion.

"What about it?"

Zhang Shu thought for a moment, then frowned and replied: "At that time, everyone was resting and preparing to go down the mountain. Mo Su came over to say that it was convenient, and then he didn't see anyone again. Could it be, accidentally..."

"Did you guys meet Mo Su after that?"

Everyone was silent, Miao An nodded, and pulled Youyou out.

"Anzi." Shen Amo called him from behind.

Miao An didn't look back, just raised her hand and shook it, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

The people in the yard looked at each other for a long time, and the village chief waved his hand and asked everyone to finish the wild boar first.

Miao An walked slowly, but his mind went blank.Youyou felt that her eldest brother's footsteps were getting slower and slower, and couldn't help but hold Miao An's hand tightly. Although he was only ten years old, after the death of his father and Ah Mo, he already understood what the situation just now meant. The brother-in-law who still carried himself on his shoulders in the sky will never see him again. Thinking of this, Yoyo couldn't stop crying after holding back for a long time.

"Yuyou." Miao An felt his hands being grasped, and said, but his voice was a bit ethereal, "Did you hear that? They said I was still young, and they said that Mo Su was gone."

"Brother." Yoyo called him in a sobbing tone, his elder brother was like this, which made him panic.

Miao An stopped, turned around to face Yoyo, looked at his little face with teardrops, couldn't help but knelt down to wipe his tears, but when he wiped them, they flowed out from his own eyes again, more and more Rub more.Finally he finally gave up, embraced Yoyo, and buried his face in that small chest.

"Impossible, how is it possible..." He kept talking to himself.

"Brother." Yoyo hugged Miao An's head, and cried loudly. After all, she was a child, and the direct reaction to fear and sadness was to cry.

After a while, Miao An suddenly raised his head, wiped the water on his face, hugged Yoyo who was hiccupping from crying, and said softly, "Stop crying, let's go home. I don't believe Mo Su is like this Abandon us, live to see people, die to see corpses!"

"Brother... hiccup, what do you want...?"

"I want to go into the mountains." Miao An said with a firm tone, seeing Yoyo's terrified eyes, explained, "Don't worry, I won't mess around, I just don't want to be reconciled."

Not reconciled, Mo Su said in person, will come back soon.

Not reconciled, is it possible that my happiness is only these few days?

Not reconciled, I had a person I liked in my two lifetimes, and it just disappeared?

After returning home, Miao An began to pack things, clothes, dry food, fire pockets, hatchets, water pots, and bamboo baskets.Sitting on the threshold of the main room, Yoyo watched him go back and forth looking for things, although she stopped crying, she still hiccupped from time to time.

After tidying up, Miao An brought the necessary things as much as possible according to the wild survival programs he watched in memory, then comforted Youyou, and then went to Zhang Orion's house.

Both Zhang Orion and his husband are hard-working and down-to-earth people, and Zhang Orion's hunting skills are superb, and the family's life is quite good. It is said that Zhang Shu is about to propose marriage.

Zhang Fulang was helping Zhang Orion deal with wild boar meat and furs in the yard. Seeing Miao An, both of them stood up with nervous expressions.After all, he led him into the mountain. Zhang Oriou was not sure if Miao An came to scold him. There had been a similar situation once or twice before. Their family members had nowhere to vent their emotions, so they would come to him and scold him.

Miao An didn't know what Zhang Orion was thinking, so he entered the door and went straight to the subject: "Zhang Orion, I want to go into the mountains, so I'm here to ask you what you need to pay attention to."

"What did you say?!" Zhang Orion was shocked, and then shook his head, "No, you are alone, and you are a brother, no."

"The place where Mo Su disappeared was just a few mountains here, right? I won't go far."

"It's near here, but that doesn't work either."

"Please, tell me." Miao An began to beg.

Zhang Orion didn't let go, and was in a stalemate when Zhang Shu entered the gate.

"Miao An? Why are you here?"

"Oh, Anzi wants to go into the mountains." Zhang Fulang said.

"Enter the mountain?" Zhang Shu was also surprised, and Miao An had the courage to say nothing else, "You want to find Mo Su? But we didn't find it."

Miao An expressed his understanding, but he didn't believe that something bad happened to Mo Su. Taking a step back, Mo Su was really gone, and he couldn't even see him for the last time. He really couldn't do anything if he wasn't allowed to do something. .Thinking back when his heart condition deteriorated and the surgery had only a [-]% success rate, he also persuaded his parents to give it a try. If he didn't work hard, how would he know it wouldn't work?Of course, he didn't go into the mountain on the spur of the moment, he decided to look for the place where Mo Su disappeared, and he would not go further to the dangerous area.

Seeing his insistence, Zhang Shu planned to help him, Zhang Orion called him: "Zhang Shu! What are you doing?"

"Father, just let Miao An go." Zhang Shu persuaded, and turned to Miao An again, "I will propose marriage the day after tomorrow, otherwise my father and I will go with you. I will try to talk to you as much as possible, just be careful." One or two days should be fine."

"Thank you, thank you." Miao An thanked repeatedly.

Zhang Shu waved his hand and began to tell him about the situation in the mountains. Zhang Orion sighed and came over to guide him.

It was already getting dark after leaving Zhang Orhu's house, Miao An hurriedly quickened his pace, he was worried that Yoyo was at home by himself.

"You want to go into the mountains?" Miao An was furious when he saw Qiu Wen coming up to him as soon as he entered the house.

Seeing him nodding, Qiuwen became even more angry, "Nonsense! What do you want Yoyo to do?"

"I'm just looking for you, I'm asking you to take care of Yoyo for the past two days."

"I disagree!"

Miao An pursed her lips and said nothing, Qiu Wen turned around in a hurry, very irritable, calmed down after a while, grabbed Miao An's shoulder and shook vigorously.

"You enemy! I really lost to you. If you dare not come back, I will... I will..."

Qiu Wen "I did" for a long time without saying anything, Miao An felt warm in his heart, and stepped forward to give him a hug.

"Thank you."

Qiu Wen curled his lips and let out a cold "hum".

"I brought the pork for you from the village chief. They asked me to persuade you. Now, I can only say that you have me at home, so you must come back quickly."

Qiuwen rushed to Miao An's house immediately after hearing about Mo Su's accident, but Yoyo was alone. When he heard that Miao An was going into the mountain, Qiuwen was about to explode. It's only been a few days, how did things turn out like this?Why is it Mo Su?He was a witness to the whole process of the relationship between the two of them, and he wasn't surprised that Miao An wanted to find someone, but he couldn't let go of his worries, and it was very embarrassing.

In the evening, Miao An chatted with Youyou for a long time before falling asleep, and early the next morning, he walked towards Qingling Mountain under the eyes of Youyou and Qiu Wenqiu.
