curling smoke

The snow was getting bigger and bigger, and the clouds in the sky were very low, as if they were about to collapse. In such a heavy snow day, a person came down from the mountain.This man is Lin Dashan, a man from Jiangjia Village at the foot of the mountain.

This Lin Dashan is well-known in the village for his ability. He is tall, simple and honest, and also very capable. He manages the family's three acres of paddy fields and two acres of dry land. Although the land is not much, it is very productive. Harvest, and this Lin Dashan has a lot of strength, and he has learned the skills from the hunters in the village before, so every winter he goes to the mountains to hunt some wild animals, and selling them is also an income.

No, I just came down from the mountain after hunting, and I have quite a lot of prey in my hands, a dozen pheasants, hares, and two foxes with good coats.

Originally, Lin Dashan and his good brother Jiang Tao from the village came to hunt wild animals.Hunting is a dangerous thing, who knows if there will be some ferocious beasts coming out of nowhere, after all, the two of them have someone to take care of them.

But this year, Jin Yun, the younger brother of Jiang Tao's family, is pregnant, so he is reluctant to come out.In this way, Jiang Tao also advised Lin Dashan not to go up the mountain. After all, going up the mountain alone with no one to take care of him would be dangerous, but Lin Dashan insisted on coming.It wasn't that he was trying to be brave, since he didn't plan to go into the deep mountains alone, he just wandered around the periphery, so he was somewhat confident with his own ability.Second, next year he plans to ask for a younger brother, thinking that he can make more money this year.

His father and father passed away two years ago, and his only elder brother married to a neighboring village three years ago. Except for gatherings during festivals, he doesn’t communicate much at ordinary times. Although he can live alone these years, but After all, no one knows what is cold and what is hot. When they come home, they are always in the cold, and this day is not always happy.Now that I am about the same age, I have some savings in my hands in the past few years, and it is time to find a brother and start a family.So this year I want to go up the mountain to hunt some prey and exchange some money. After all, I want to beg for a brother, so it is better to keep more money in my hand.

Looking at the increasingly gloomy sky, Lin Dashan drove all the way down the mountain, and only at the foot of the mountain did he feel relieved, and walked slowly towards the village.Hey, there seemed to be a figure, Lin Dashan walked in and was startled, not one, but two people, one big and one small fell in the snow.Fortunately, I saw it, otherwise these two people might be frozen to death, Lin Dashan thought to himself.He put the prey in his hand in the snow. The people in the village were simple and would not take it away, and then he hurried home with the two men on his shoulders.Lin Dashan put the two people in his bedroom, covered them with thick quilts, burned the kang, and then ran to Jiang Tao's house, told him about the matter, and asked him to throw himself in the snow. After taking it back, he ran to the east of the village to find Dr. Lin.

It's so warm, how come it's so warm, isn't my little brother and I going to freeze to death?Gu Qiu thought in a daze, and slowly opened his eyes.I am in a nice house, the kang is burned, the room is very warm, and my little brother is beside me, still alive.

The door opened suddenly, and Gu Qiu saw a burly man hurrying in with an old man on his back.Lin Dashan put down the old doctor on his back, saw that the person on the bed had woken up, walked over and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, I just saw you fainted on the road, and I brought you back. This is Doctors in our village, you are suffering from the cold, let the doctor take a look."

Gu Qiu looked at this honest and honest man who rescued himself and his younger brother, said thank you, and lost his strength.The doctor took the pulse of the two of them one by one. Lin Dashan watched from the side, thinking that the older one was actually a brother, and he didn't realize it in a hurry just now, and he hugged him just now, really...

"Well, it's nothing serious, it's just that they're starving and freezing. The main thing is to take good care of them. I'll prescribe some medicine for them and take them on time." The doctor said.Lin Dashan said: "Okay, okay, thank you for asking you to come out in such a cold weather." The old doctor is one of the few in the village who can read and write, and also has medical skills. Everyone in the village respects him very much.Lin Dashan sent the old doctor home and hurried back home quickly.

Thinking about what the old doctor said just now, Lin Dashan cooked a pheasant he had hunted, added a lot of ginger to dispel the cold, and added some dried mushrooms from Taozi's family to stew a pot of chicken soup.He tasted it himself. Although the craftsmanship is not very good, the pheasant is indeed fresh, and the soup stewed with dried mushrooms is also extremely delicious.He quickly filled two bowls and sent them to the house.

Both of them are awake now, the younger one hugs the older one tightly with red eyes, looking very frightened.Lin Dashan handed them the soup, "I stewed some chicken soup, you must be starving, I added some ginger, it can dispel the cold, you should try it quickly."

The two of them were still a bit cautious, especially the younger one, who had been hiding in the older one's arms.But it may be because they have been hungry for a long time, and the chicken soup is really fragrant, they quickly reached out their hands, and they drank it in a few mouthfuls, regardless of the heat.

Gu Qiu finished the chicken soup and the meat in the bowl, raised his head to look at Lin Dashan, and said shyly, "Brother, you are so kind, if it weren't for you, we might freeze to death in the wild Not sure."

Lin Dashan looked into his bright eyes and listened to his crisp voice, feeling a little dazed, then came back to his senses, blushing and said: "I saw someone passed out in the field, anyone should help. That, I, My name is Lin Dashan, if you don't mind, you can call me Brother Lin!"

Gu Qiu hugged the child beside him tightly: "Brother Lin, my name is Gu Qiu, this is my younger brother Gu Dong, and we are from Pingcheng. Pingcheng's earth dragon turned over this year, a catastrophe happened, and only my brother and I are left in my family." I thought about going to the distant relatives in Hucheng, but the journey was too difficult, and we didn't have much money, so we were hungry, tired and cold all the way here, so we fell down on the road." Gu Qiu said His eyes were red again.

Lin Dashan hurriedly comforted: "Oh, I also heard that there was a catastrophe in Pingcheng. It's really not easy for you in this cold weather, but now you can relax and take care of your wounds first. Don't be sad, you will always Will be fine."

"Brother, I still want to drink some soup." The little man in Gu Qiu's arms raised his head and said softly to Gu Qiu.Lin Dashan hurried to the kitchen and filled two big bowls of chicken soup for the two of them, "Both of you drink some more, I'll fry the medicine."

Gu Qiu smiled, "I'm sorry, Brother Lin, you should eat something yourself, don't be hungry."

Lin Dashan felt warm in his heart when he heard Gu Qiu's concern, and replied, "Oh, I understand."

In the evening, Lin Dashan decocted the medicine. After watching the two brothers drink the medicine, he let the two brothers of the Gu family sleep in their own room, and went to sleep in the room next door.I don't know if it was because there was someone next door, but he felt that he slept very peacefully.

In another room, Gu Qiu hugged Dong'er but couldn't sleep.Such warmth has been long gone for him.Originally, he, father, father and Xiaodong were such a happy family.Although the family is not rich, there are still a few acres of land in the family. My father, father and myself are all able-bodied people in the village, and we can get by. My younger brother is cute and sensible.

That day, the family had agreed that they would go to Jishang the next day to sell the rice harvested this year, but one night, everything changed. Dilong turned over, the family house collapsed, father and father disappeared, and the village It was also ruined. In the past two months, I brought my brother all the way to beg here, and I have suffered all kinds of hardships.How long can this warmth last?Lin Dashan's blushing face appeared in front of Gu Qiu's eyes, and he couldn't help feeling a little hot on his own face.

"Brother, do you think we can stay in the warm room all the time? Brother, I don't want to leave, it's so cold outside!" Xiaodong asked with her head raised.

Gu Qiu gently kissed Xiaodong's frostbitten cheeks, "We should stay here for a while! Good boy, go to sleep, brother hugs you, don't be afraid." Gu Qiu closed his eyes, his mind Li was still full of thoughts, but it might be because he was too tired, and he fell into a deep sleep not long after.

*********

The next day, Lin Dashan woke up early and went to Jiang Tao's house with two pheasants and hares.Jiang Tao opened the door with his clothes on, and greeted people in, "Why are you here so early!".

Lin Dashan handed over the two rabbits and pheasants in his hand, "Give these wild animals a good nourishment for Brother Jin Yun.".

Jiang Tao was not polite, and accepted it directly, "Now that Jin Yun is pregnant, it's time to make up for it. I won't be polite to you, brother."

"Today, I'm going to take the car of Second Master Li to the county to buy some wild animals. You and Brother Jin Yun will take care of the two members of my family first."

"It's easy to say, decoction, we will take care of the meal, you can rest assured."

After hearing this, Lin Dashan left with confidence.

Jin Yun sat up from the bed: "Master, why do you think Dashan cares so much for the two people he picked up?"

Jiang Tao quickly picked up the cotton coat beside the bed and put it on him, nervously said: "Be careful, don't catch a cold! Put on the clothes quickly!"

When Lin Dashan returned home, he took the two foxes he hunted yesterday, and the remaining rabbits and pheasants, and then went to the entrance of the village.

It will be Laba in a few days, and there are quite a lot of people going to the county.Probably this year's harvest is relatively good, and everyone's faces are beaming.Everyone was chatting, and it didn't take long for the road of more than 30 miles to come.When we arrived in the county, we agreed on the meeting place and time, and then we separated.

Today, the market in the county is very lively. There are fruit sellers, biscuit sellers, rouge gouache sellers, chicken and duck sellers along the street... all kinds of stalls make people dazzled, and there is an endless stream of cries in their ears. Absolutely.In addition to the stalls on the street, there are more businesses in the stores on both sides. The business of cloth stores, grain stores, and pastry stores is booming.People on the street are also rubbing shoulders, and the voices of raising and bargaining prices can be heard endlessly.

Lin Dashan didn't stay long, he went directly to the familiar fur shop to buy two foxes.In order to get a good price, Lin Dashan had already dealt with two foxes before, and sold the fur to a fur shop. The fox meat has a smell, it's not tasty, and it can't be sold at a good price, but you can get some money.The fur color of these two foxes is good, the whole body is the same color, there is no stray hair, and they are smooth and smooth. The owner of the fur shop is not deceiving customers, and gave a price of [-] yuan. Lin Dashan thinks this price It was quite suitable, so he sold it readily. Then he took the pheasant, hare, and the remaining fox meat, and went directly to the small restaurant facing the street, and sold all the goods in his hand.

After finishing these things, Lin Dashan bought the things he wanted to buy on the street.Thinking of the frostbite on the brothers of the Gu family and the thin and worn clothes, Lin Dashan first went to the pharmacy in the county and bought a box of good frostbite ointment. Although the price is not cheap, it is said that the effect is very good, and it also smells faint The delicate fragrance is the best for younger brothers and children.Lin Dashan didn't feel sorry for the unheated silver that he had just bought, so he bought a box without hesitation.

Then I went to the cloth store, thinking that I was going to wear it soon, I bought two sets of thick winter clothes, and then I bought a few feet of fabric and some cotton.After buying these two items, he wandered around the street.

After strolling along the way, I unknowingly got a lot of things in my hand, such as bright red candied haws and crispy twist.Looking at the sky, it was almost time. He bought some beans for Laba porridge and a lot of frozen tofu. Thinking that he still had rabbits and chickens at home, he didn't go to the butcher shop to buy meat, but bought two large ones. The fish walked to the agreed place.
