hunting and farming husband

The river is slanting and the moon is setting, and the morning light is faint.The distant cock crowing sound was not clear, Ye Rendong finally let himself fall asleep with peace of mind.

But the Bai family made a lot of noise and lifted the roof off.

Ren Hui got up early in the morning, followed by her husband, Bai Sanqi, with a rope in his hand.

I thought someone should be in the kitchen at this point, but there was no one in the kitchen.She got angry, and went to the firewood room cursing: "The sun is out, and the bastard is still sleeping, I will give you food for nothing..."

Bai Sanqi followed behind her with drooping eyebrows, her body half smaller than Ren Hui's was timid.He wanted to tie up that skinny monkey, but she alone was enough.Yesterday he was tired outside all day, and woke himself up early in the morning, and he couldn't get the money.

The door of the firewood room was kicked open and bounced back.The sound of ridicule broke the tranquility of the morning.It was empty inside, and there was no one there.

Ren Hui's blood surged up, and she hurriedly slapped her thigh: "Run away, little brat ran away!"

"What!" Bai Sanqi stretched her neck, looking like a goose.He was shocked and quickly covered Bai Ren's mouth.

Glancing outside the door, his cloudy eyes rolled firmly and said: "Look for it."

It's one thing not to have the money in his hands, but another thing to get the money.

Ren Hui's heart was full of regret, her eyes were red, she wished she could catch that man and tear her up. "I should tie up that little bastard's hoof! Bastard, my mother has raised it for so long, and it's all for nothing."

The two of them went out without saying a word.

However, they are destined not to get the money.

Guliang Town, Shanghua Village.

The cloud mountain is majestic, spanning the entire land boundary.Even at noon, the milky white mist in the mountains is like a veil, wrapping the mountains and forests.

Near the upper part of Yunshan Mountain, the Yunshui River flows out slowly, passing by the foot of the mountain and scouring out a flat and open land boundary, where Shanghua Village is located.

On the northernmost edge of the village, due to the high terrain and the proximity to the mountains, only this dilapidated thatched cottage remained.The roof was covered with crystal frost, and the rotten and blackened thatch was broken into pieces.The chill of early winter enveloped the sun, and the temperature in the house was not much higher.

Ye Liandong woke up from starvation.

He pulled the hay off his body, and his withered hair was covered with grass clippings.He clutched his stomach in a daze and opened his eyes, his clear watery eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes.

Although he slept, he regained his energy.But after driving all night, his whole body is limp at this moment, and he can't use his strength.

The most urgent thing is to fill your stomach first.

He propped up the bed and stood up, but suddenly there was a heart-rending pain in the soles of his feet. "Hiss", his legs softened and he could barely support the board, "Brother Dong can do it."

But it was getting more and more painful, and he sat back slumped.

The tip of the nose was slightly sour, and tears welled up in the eyes.He wiped dry carelessly, pursed his lips and took off his shoes.Bending down to look, there is blood under the footwear, it seems that the blisters on the soles of the feet have been worn out.

His heart trembled, he closed his eyes cruelly, bit his lip, and took off his clothes little by little.The clothes and the flesh and blood have long been glued together, and it is not easy for him to tear off a layer of skin abruptly.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" came out of his mouth, and the slender eyelashes were wet again.

Faint sunlight came in from the holes around the hut, but it couldn't resist the cold wind pouring in from the holes.Ye Liandong regained his senses from the pain, and looked at the small holes in the footwear, as well as the patches he sewed himself.

"We need to cut thatch to cover the hole, otherwise we can't live in the rain." He thought to himself.

He blinked at the broken door, and after holding back his tears, he scratched his feet to look.Because the feet are covered all the year round, the feet are thin but fair, but against the bloody soles of the feet, they look even more terrifying.

Enduring the pain, he opened the bag and took out the clean footwear inside.Put it on your feet a few times.He read while wearing it: "Grandpa Bai said that the wound should be kept clean."

After wearing it, he took the wooden stick and propped it out again.

Passing the door is a thatched yard, and in one corner is a large water tank that is half-bottomed.He rode over and saw that there was still some water accumulated in half of the tank.There is also a tilted clay pot on the side.

He bent down and put his hands on the mouth of the clay pot, poured out the clean water and washed his hands.

Then the clay pot was erected, and the little water left seeped out along the bottom of the pot.His black and white eyeballs did not move, his long eyelashes trembled a few times, and a trace of regret flashed across his heart.

It turned out to be a leak.

After picking up his mood, Ye Rendong went to the gate of the courtyard with a wooden stick.

He saw a rocky beach outside last night, and he should be able to find some small fish and shrimps inside.As he walked, his stomach growled again, and he patted lightly. "It will be fine soon."

Passing by clumps of dry weeds, the floating hairs on the grass stood on him, and he stumbled out of the wooden door.

Seeing the golden color outside the door, he stood there happily and almost dropped the wooden stick in his hand.

It was too dark last night to see clearly.It turned out that there were fruit trees planted in front of the hut, several jujube trees and an old peach tree.Ye Liandong limped to the jujube tree and looked at the half-red jujube on it.

Belly beating drums.

He gently pressed down on his flat stomach, as if comforting.Then, the black glass-like eyeballs rolled, looking at whether he could reach it.

But even if he stretched out his hand, he couldn't touch it.The excruciating pain under his feet was still there. After thinking about it, he simply leaned against the tree trunk.Raising the wooden stick with both hands, he closed his eyes and hit the net.

Shujian, big and small dates fell to the ground, spread shallowly.

He is like a treasure.

In the Bai family, since Grandpa Bai passed away, he has never had enough to eat, let alone jujubes to satisfy his craving.Aunt Bai's family is always on guard and never puts food in the kitchen.Even if you cook for yourself, you only leave one meal at a time.As long as he steals a little bit, he will be discovered.

Seeing dates all over the ground, for the first time, he felt rich.

Leaning the stick on the tree joyfully, he clasped his hands on the trunk of the jujube tree and leaned his weight on it.Controlling his strength, he slowly squatted down and picked up the dates on the ground.

Maybe it was ground fertilizer, a jujube was as big as his two thumbs.He couldn't wait to rub it on his clothes, and stuffed it into his mouth hastily.Chew it whole and swallow it into your stomach.

The jujube is a bit shriveled, but it has a strong fragrance. After eating one, my mouth is full of sweetness.

He half-closed his eyes and finished solving the five in his hand before slowly stopping his speed.His expression was unprecedentedly relaxed.For him, having food and sleeping is the best life.

The five dates were half full, so he gathered the dates on the ground together, and pulled the ones that were closer with his hands, and the ones that were farther away with a wooden stick.

After a while, a small pile of dates stood in front of him.

"Thank you." He pursed his lips and smiled, like a kitten stealing, sticky.

Since no one had spoken to him for several years, he was used to talking to himself.Treat grass and trees as partners and rhubarb as friends.

At this moment, he murmured out such a sentence with full of joy and joy.

Don't worry about food for the time being, the injury on your feet needs to be taken care of.

He leaned against the tree and looked sideways.Through the clumps of weeds and small shrubs, I can see the river bank not far away.

Resting his calloused hands on the tree trunk, he stretched his neck.

The river water is flowing, hitting the river bank and the stones in the water, drinking happily and clattering.

Beads of grapes fall on the endless stretches of plants on the shore.The leaves are jagged, with some gray hairs, stacked in layers, and some dark green can be seen.

When he was overjoyed, two dimples appeared on his dark and thin face.

He has been with his grandfather for ten years and knows some herbs.Aren't the leaves over there just wormwood?Ai Ye is the best for relieving pain and stopping bleeding.

Ye Liandong gained some strength, and stood up again with a stick.Slowly approaching stumblingly.

The wormwood by the river was as high as his waist, and the closer it was, the stronger the smell of wormwood.

Wait until the shore, among the clumps of wormwood, there are several layers of covered steps leading to the river beach.Presumably it was used by people here before to fetch water for washing.

His brows and eyes stretched, and his rough hands grabbed the young leaves on the tips and squeezed them down, filling a handful with a few strokes.

He put the extra in his pocket, and waited until the pocket couldn't fit, then filled the dimple with sake, filled his heart with intoxication and joy, and walked home step by step.

Yes, this will be his temporary home from now on.

The orange sunlight behind him broke through the mist and scattered on the ground at some point.The red, yellow, and green leaves of the distant mountains and forests are interlaced, and a few of them are painted into a colorful ink painting in early winter.At the bottom of the painting is a wide river beach covered with pebbles.The riverbed is not completely exposed, and the river in the middle is still flowing, crystal clear.

In the corner of the painting, there is a broken thatched edge.The fruit tree, the person bending over to pick up the fruit, and the corner of his coarse cloth that was blown up by the wind, all added a touch of vitality to the long-silent sky.It also makes the painting lively.

In view of the inconvenience of his injured foot, when Ye Chudong returned, he took a wooden stick and hit the tree a few more times, and the dates fell to the ground.

After he put it away, he gathered it tightly at the hem of his clothes and carried it back to the sleeping board.

After finishing this job, he sat back on the wooden board, slightly pursing his pale lips.

Touching his belly with his palm, he picked up the smallest jujube and stuffed it into his mouth.Teeth were grinding slowly, thinking while eating.

The thatched cottage is very dilapidated, with a total of three rooms.But only his room has a roof, and the rest cannot live in it.

But the one he slept in wasn't much better.Just looking at the scattered light in the room, one can tell that this room is also dilapidated. If there is a storm, this room will definitely not be able to sleep.

But it's not without good discoveries.This hut is a single family, and the rest of the houses are about three or four miles away.Standing outside, you can only see the shadow of a house.Looking at this appearance, no one should come over.

He grasped the core with his long and thin fingers, and carefully gnawed off the pulp.

I plan to use this as my temporary foothold.

The immediate thing to do right now is to repair the house. Besides that, we need to find more food to store, otherwise the winter will be difficult.

After thinking about the arrangement, the neglected foot pain hit again.

He took off his footwear.Grab the wormwood on the side and rub it in the palm of your hand.As the leaves are crushed, the green grass juice stains the hands.He crossed his legs, covering the bloody soles of his feet little by little with the green paste.

The slight coolness touched the soles of the feet, and the knife-like pain froze for a moment.

He couldn't help but grasp the instep tightly, the roughness of the palm made the instep a little itchy.He flinched, then pursed his lips and covered everything in his hand.

Then, he took out his ragged middle coat and put it on his knees, grabbed the hem of the coat with one hand and slipped a pair of clothes along the corner.The sound of tearing was prolonged, and he put the jacket back, which was already missing half of it.

It doesn't matter what you wear inside.

After covering both feet one by one with grass powder and wrapping them up again, he put on his open cloth shoes again and continued to work.The top priority is to cover the targeted loopholes.As for fodder, there are quite a lot of reeds on the shore, and thatch can be seen everywhere around.

But he needs someone who can mow.Calamus is easy to tear, but thatch is not easy to break.

Holding a stick, Ye Rendong searched from room to room.He sleeps in this room, except for the wooden beds built with stones on both sides, there is only a wardrobe with no door and a lame foot.It was empty inside, except for a few rat droppings.

Then turn to the next room, which should be the kitchen.The top beam collapsed in half, leaning against the ground at an angle, leaving a small opening for one person to bend down to enter.

The wall could fall down at any time. He stood outside and took a look. There was a wooden cabinet inside, and many broken bowls fell to the ground.The rest are blocked by the beams, nothing.On the other side is the firewood room.There is no shortage of firewood here, and there are still wooden sticks piled up in the firewood room, which is full.

He fumbled under the heavy weight with a stick, but found nothing usable.But the broken bowl can be used.He went back to the kitchen door and pulled out the visible tiles with a stick.

There is still a good bowl.Although a corner is missing, it can be used as food.

He was like a person who suddenly found a surprise with nothing, and he picked up the debris on the ground with some joy and piled them up to the large water tank outside.
