I have 1 after wearing the chronology

The second group of Ping'an Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Most of the mud-tiled houses are located at the foot of the mountain. The road into the mountain was stepped on by the villagers.The woods in the outer layer are sparse, and there are many people cutting firewood, and the weeds are not so lush, so it is an area where children can play.

There are fewer people walking in, and the vegetation is gradually lush. It takes several hours to walk, and it takes half a day to go back and forth. It is not worthwhile, so everyone is reluctant to go deep.

When Xu Kongshan entered the mountain, chopping firewood was just an excuse to fool Sun Dahua and his wife. His purpose was to eat meat.The small hills on the outer layer are too smelly of human smoke, and wild things don't like to haunt there. If you want to get something good, you have to go inside.

In the early morning, the humidity in the mountain forest was so heavy that it almost turned into water droplets. Xu Kongshan walked all the way with a stick, and when he stopped, his clothes were still soaked in dew.

But climbing a mountain is a physical effort, and he was full of heat, so he didn't feel cold.

Winter has the benefits of winter, at least the probability of encountering mosquitoes, snakes and ants will be greatly reduced.

Xu Kongshan went to check the traps set up earlier, and harvested five hares, large and small.He hadn't entered the mountain for a few days, and the hares lost their vitality from hunger, and when they were caught by him, they kicked their hind legs twice and gave up struggling.

There were still a few pheasant feathers in the trap, and the color looked pretty, but to Xu Kongshan, as long as it couldn't be eaten, it was useless, no matter how beautiful it was.

He re-arranged the trap, and then carried the rabbit to the direction where the sound of the water was coming from.The dead leaves in the dense forest are wet and not easy to ignite. There is a pine forest in front, and the dry pine needles rich in vegetable oil are good materials for starting fire.

Xu Kongshan roasted a rabbit to fill the Wu Zang Temple, and threw the rest of the rabbits on the ground with their legs tied up with tree vines.

The trees he cuts are all dead trees, which are lighter without water, and can be burned when taken back without drying them. Several families in the town have reached a long-term cooperation with him to buy firewood.

These days, speculation is strictly controlled, and he sells firewood secretly. Of course, there are more than one family in the village like him. Everyone knows it well, but no one reports it.

How much a bundle of firewood can be worth is nothing more than being forced to make a living. If there are other ways, who wants to work so hard.

For a while, the sound of chopping wood in the woods overshadowed everything, and time passed in Xu Kongshan's dripping sweat.When the sound of chopping wood stopped, the birds in the mountains just returned to their nests.

Xu Kongshan picked up the chopped firewood and walked down the mountain. He didn't mind sleeping in the mountains overnight, but the group of pheasant babies in the back basket didn't work. If they were frozen overnight, they would definitely die hard in the morning.

Chen Wan went to the old house again after dinner, but Xu Kongshan still didn't come back, he didn't feel sleepy.

"Pa-ta." Chen Wan pulled down the rope that controlled the light switch at the head of the bed, and the room was lit up. He put on his clothes, stepped on woolen slippers, and gently removed the door bolt.

He decided to go again to see if Xu Kongshan had returned.

Almost everyone in the village was asleep, and as far as the eye could see, there was not a single house with a light on. The light from the flashlight hit the road in an oval shape.

All kinds of horror scenes that he had seen in the past automatically appeared in Chen Wan's mind. He looked around nervously, as if there was a terrifying existence watching him in the darkness.

Chen Wan's hand holding the flashlight couldn't help shaking, the light jumped up and down, and his steps unconsciously accelerated.

"Prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony..."

Chen Wan read out the core values ​​of socialism to cheer himself up. He was not so afraid at first, but the fact of wearing a book was slapped in the face, and there was nothing impossible to happen.

There was a strange sound coming from behind, Chen Wan was so scared that he forgot to breathe, his shoulder seemed to be touched by something, he jumped out like a rabbit, the flashlight fell to the ground, and the light bulb inside flickered and then went out completely.

The fear in her heart reached its peak at this moment, Chen Wan wanted to run away, but grabbed him with one hand: "Liuer?"

"Brother Shan, you scared me to death." The familiar voice dispelled Chen Wan's fear, he turned around and patted his chest, panting like the rest of his life.

"What are you doing outside, Liu'er, in the middle of the night?"

Xu Kongshan piled the chopped firewood to the foot of the mountain, and only carried the basket on his back. He planned to send the pheasant cubs to Chen's house first, but suddenly saw a light on the path, thinking that a thief had entered the village, so he put down the basket and quietly followed.As a result, she approached and recognized Chen Wan. Afraid of scaring people by making a hasty noise, she patted her shoulder instead.

"I can't sleep, come out to see if you're back." Knowing Xu Kongshan's thoughts, Chen Wan showed a smile that was uglier than crying, obviously patting the shoulder is more scary, okay?

Xu Kongshan always felt that something was wrong. It was the first time he had received Chen Wan's concern after so many trips to the mountain.Suddenly Xu Kongshan's heart was as sweet as eating honey, he smiled and showed two rows of big white teeth: "I'm back."

He said nonsense, but Chen Wan thought it was very pleasant.

The flashlight went somewhere, and Chen Wan squatted down and searched the surrounding grass but couldn't find it.Xu Kongshan helped him find it together. He remembered that the last place where the flashlight was lit seemed to be behind Chen Wan.

Xu Kongshan expanded his search area, and finally found the flashlight on the wire grass two meters away from Chen Wan.He unscrewed the cover to check the light bulb inside. After reinstalling the battery and shaking it a few times, it still didn't turn on: "Maybe the light bulb is broken."

The flashlight lost its proper function, and Xu Kongshan's night vision ability was not bad, and he could vaguely see the road under his feet with the shallow light.Chen Wan couldn't, maybe it was because reading at night hurt his eyes, without a flashlight he was almost blind, Chen Wan guessed that this body had night blindness.

Chen Wan raised his foot carefully to test the road, Xu Kongshan grabbed his hand and said, "I'll pull you along."

Xu Kongshan's rough palms rubbed against the back of Chen Wan's delicate hands, and the continuous heat spread from the place where the two skins touched to Chen Wan's limbs and bones. He slowed down his breathing, and his heart was calm and distant. He hoped that this dark road would Infinitely extended, time stays at this moment forever.

"I took the pannier." Xu Kongshan let go of his hand after speaking, and the baby pheasants huddled together in the pannier were awakened by the shaking, and started chirping.

"What's inside?" Chen Wan poked his head out curiously, but it was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Pheasant baby." Xu Kongshan put his back on his back and took Chen Wan's hand again, talking to him as he walked, "There are several pits where I cut firewood. I picked them up from the pits. There are four in total. I'm going to take them out." Give it to Aunt Zhou."

The pheasant baby's cry was crisp and tender, which was very pleasant to hear. Chen Wan was a little surprised: "Give it to my sister-in-law? Won't you take it home?"

"No, it's too small, my family can't support it." Xu Kongshan couldn't take care of such a small chicken, let alone Sun Dahua, it would only be troublesome to take it back.

After entering the courtyard gate, the lights in the main room were on, and Chen Qianjin came out of Chen Wan's room with his clothes on.

"Where did you go, Liuer?" Chen Qianjin got up to turn on the water, and checked whether Chen Yongyang had covered the quilt by the way. He walked through the main room and found that the door bolt was hanging. He thought it was Chen Wan who got up at night, and no one came back after waiting.So he went to look in the hut, it was empty, the quilt on the bed in the room was lifted, it was cold to the touch, and the clothes and shoes were not there.Just as he was about to go out to look for it, Chen Wan came back.

"Brother, why are you awake?" Chen Wan had a sense of being checked by the housekeeper, "I couldn't sleep and went around outside, and I ran into Brother Shan on the way."

Xu Kongshan stood behind Chen Wan, and it was hard for Chen Qianjin not to see it. He had a false alarm, and his expression relaxed: "Dashan is back."

"Well, Uncle Chen, I chopped firewood and picked up a few baby pheasants. You can raise them." The basket fell to the ground, and Chen Wan finally saw what the pheasants looked like when they were young.

The child's fists are big and fluffy, two are all black, and two are black and yellow, so cute.

Chen Qianjin knew Sun Dahua's virtues, and the four baby pheasants fell into her hands and could not survive for three days, so he simply agreed.

Zhou Mei was awakened by the movement in the main room, she came out rubbing her eyes, and saw the four baby pheasants cheer up: "Wait a minute, there are rotten baskets in the pigsty house, go ahead and put some grain and grass to make a nest for them."

The chirping pheasant baby was transferred from the back basket to the rotten basket, and Zhou Mei grabbed the broken rice and put it on the plate.It turned out that this is how chickens peck rice. Chen Wan lowered his head and watched with relish.

After the pheasant baby Xu Kongshan settled down, he was about to leave, but Zhou Mei called to stop him: "I've warmed up some leftovers for you, and I'll leave after eating."

It was so late, Xu Kongshan would definitely not be able to get anything when he went back now, how could Zhou Mei let him go back hungry, and ordered Chen Jinjin to ask him to move slowly when he took the basket, so she could hurry up and heat up the meal.

The meal was already on the table, if Xu Kongshan didn't eat it, it would hurt the couple's affection for him.He had been drilling in the woods for a day, and there were still tangled pine needles in his hair. Chen Wan mixed a basin of warm water and told him to wash his face.

The clean water became turbid, and Xu Kongshan immediately felt refreshed.

Zhou Mei filled a large bowl of sweet potato rice, piled up to the top, and the only food left for the evening was radish soup. Zhou Mei fried an egg and grabbed a piece of red fermented bean curd for his meal.

Xu Kongshan ate like he was fighting, and quickly dug the bowl upside down. Chen Wan couldn't help but suspect that he swallowed it raw. How could his stomach take it in the long run?

Chen Wan added a new note in the small notebook in her heart: Remind Xu Kongshan to pay attention to the speed of eating.

After eating and drinking enough, Xu Kongshan's brows and eyes softened: "Thank you Liu'er, I'm full."

Xu Kongshan ate Chen Wan's daily amount in one meal. Chen Wan stared at his stomach, trying to see the bulge on his clothes.But no matter how he looked at it, Xu Kongshan's stomach didn't change at all. The big bowl of rice just now seemed to have entered a black hole.

Chen Qianjin and Zhou Mei went back to sleep, leaving Chen Wan to guard Xu Kongshan.Zhou Mei told them to just put the bowls on the table after eating. She got up tomorrow morning to clean up. Xu Kongshan walked into the kitchen familiarly, scooped up the hot water from the small pot and washed the used bowls and chopsticks.

After sending Xu Kongshan away, Chen Wan yawned, tears welling up in his eyes.

Xu Kongshan returned safely, his heart fell to the ground, and he slept peacefully and soundly.

The author has something to say:

Chen Wan: Eat slowly!

Xu Kongshan: Huh?
