Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 6 Meeting He Rain Again

After resting for a while, I recovered my strength and finally walked back to the reed marsh safely.

Today, I gained strength, cut a willow tree with the thickness of an adult's wrist on the outside, put it in the space, and took it out from the shack.

The branches were cut off, leaving only the main trunk, and a larger shack was built again. After everything was done, it was already dark.

He took out the tea table and put it on the cutting board. Under the sparse moonlight, he cut some potatoes and fried two plates of shredded potatoes. This was Yi Wei’s first cooking in three days. Unfortunately, there were no green peppers, but the taste was not bad. Save it I ordered half a plate of shredded potatoes, two steamed buns, and half a bowl of porridge.

After dinner, Yi Wei chose a straight branch from the cut branches, which was as thick as three fingers, and cut off the excess part with a bone cutter, leaving a section about 1.5 meters long in the middle.

Use a knife to split a few centimeters at the thin end of the wooden stick, take out the sharp knife I bought today, untie the cloth wrapped around the handle, sandwich the sharp knife between the wooden sticks, and re-bundle it with the cloth. All right.

Yi Wei stood up and waved a few times, stood in a lunge, and stabbed a few times. He was quite satisfied. When he was fetching water, he saw some grass carp in the pond. It is still possible to make a wooden stick bayonet, stand on the shore and stab fish.

Spread some reeds on the ground, and then spread the mat, and finally don't open your eyes and count the stars when you sleep today.

Autumn nights are still relatively cold, but with the cover of reeds, I finally don’t have to curl up in a thin quilt today.

I got up early and performed the broadcast twice that I hadn't done for many years. These days, I was able to eat enough every day, and my face was a little flushed. It didn't look as pale as when I first came.

I ate one of the fried dough sticks I bought yesterday in porridge. After washing the dishes, I came to the pond with a wooden stick and bayonet in my hand, saying that the pond is 2-3 acres in size. Occasionally you can see fish turning the water.

Walk slowly along the water's edge, carefully observing the water surface in front of you.

After walking more than 20 steps, I saw a grass carp in the gap between the reeds in the water.

Yi Wei held his breath, approached slowly, pointed the bayonet in his hand a little in front of the fish's head, and threw it violently, the water churned for a while, and the clear water suddenly became turbid.

Yi Wei was overjoyed, the fish was stabbed, if the fish hadn't been hit, it would have run away long ago, and there would be no such big movement.

Roll up your trousers, take off your shoes, wade into the water, touch the head of the fish in front of the sharp knife, dig into the gills with your fingers, and then pull out the sharp knife.

The sharp knife stabbed the belly of the grass carp. It seems that the technique of stabbing the fish in my hometown was not forgotten when I was a child, and the amount in advance was just right.

Back on the shore, put on labor shoes, send the fish into the space first, and then search along the shore.

After turning around, he stabbed three grass carp, the small one was a little over a pound and the big one was three pounds. He scraped the scales by the pond, cleaned it up, sent it into the space, and hummed a little song back to the shack.

Take out the wok, heat up the oil, fry on both sides until golden, add water and stew.

At noon, I ate one beautifully, and the rest were sent to the space.

When I rebuilt the shack, the reeds were almost used. After eating, I went to the distance to cut the reeds for more than two hours and put them into the space. It was three o'clock. Yi Wei came to the roadside to see if he could meet them. What rain.

After working hard for a long time, he took a nap while leaning against the plane tree. Many people passed by in a daze, until a barking dog woke Yi Wei up.

I saw a young girl, wearing the overalls of a cotton spinning factory, pushing a bicycle and trotting in a panic.

Two black dogs followed closely behind the bicycle, growling in low voices.

Yi Wei instantly replaced the bamboo pole in his arms with a stick made by himself, stood up and faced forward.

Seeing Yi Wei suddenly appearing to rescue herself, the female worker dropped the bicycle and ran quickly.

Yi Wei and other female employees ran close to realize He Yuyu, and said quickly, "Big sister, come behind me."

He Yuyu gasped heavily and hid behind Yi Wei.

The two black dogs slowed down and looked at the opponent who had suddenly appeared. Yi Wei was small and had no threat to the black dog, so he approached slowly.

Yi Wei waved the wooden stick in his hand, and the sharp knife at the top shone with a ray of light. The black dog finally had the intention to retreat and stopped. At this time, the distance between Yi Wei and the leading black dog was only a little over two meters.

He Yushui has slowly retreated.

The black dog who fell behind had already started to turn around and wanted to run away, and the black dog in front also tilted his head and turned to Yi Wei.

Yi Wei quickly raised his left foot and took a big step forward, forming a bow, holding a wooden stick in both hands, and stabbed forward, the sharp knife stabbed directly on the black dog's neck.

The black dog barked furiously, and the wooden stick bayonet in Yi Wei's hand was pulled out from his neck, bringing out a stream of blood.

The black dog behind was frightened and ran away in a hurry.

The leading black dog fell to the ground, four paws kicking violently, and it was just the last struggle.

When He Yuyu saw that Yi Wei stabbed the black dog to death, he ran over and said in surprise:

"Thank you, little brother, if it weren't for you, I would have been bitten by these two black dogs today."

"Sister Yuyu, I haven't thanked you yet? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be alive today." Yi Wei said.

He Yuyu stared wide-eyed and asked, "Little brother, do you know me? Why can't I live today? Why don't I understand?"

"Sister Yushui, have you forgotten me? Three days ago, you gave me two white flour steamed buns under the plane tree, and you also told me your name."

"is that you?"

He Yushui looked at the young man in front of him. He had a pretty face and was still very immature. Although the clothes were covered with patches, they were washed clean, but his hair was cut without knowing how it was cut. It was uneven and always wanted to make people laugh.

I clearly remember that it was a very dark and skinny boy that day, but I didn't expect him to be so handsome.

Yi Wei nodded and asked:
"Sister Rain, is your bicycle broken?"

"Yeah, after a few steps, the chain will fall off, and I will push it away a few times."

He Yushui and Yi Wei walked to the bicycle together, He Yushui lifted the tilted bicycle, Yi Wei squatted down, found a small wooden stick to pick up the chain and stuck it on the turntable again.

It is obvious that the links are much longer, and the middle of the chain is falling down.

He Yuyu asked, "Little brother, can you repair it?"

"Sister Yushui, my name is Yi Wei, you can just use me, Xiaowei." Yi Wei checked the spindle of the rear wheel, and then said:

"The set screw at the back of yours is loose, just use a wrench to tighten it, but there is no tool now."

"Hey, I can only push it home first?" He Yushui sighed.

Then he said, "Thank you, Yi Wei, where do you live?"

"I built a shack in the reeds, and my family is gone. I am here." Yi Wei pointed to the reeds and said.

When He Yuyu heard Yi Wei's words, his eyes were red, and it was so pitiful. He thought he was home nearby, but he didn't expect that he would just build a shack in the reeds and live on his own.

He asked, "Isn't Yi Wei a local? The accent doesn't sound like a foreigner."

"I've been begging for food in the suburbs for 2 years. Sister Yuyu, can you find someone to ask me how I can get a household registration?" Yi Wei asked a little embarrassedly.

"It's not a good idea for you to build a shack here to live by yourself. What will you do in winter? It's too pitiful." He Yuhui said regretfully:
"On the hukou, I do know that if there are residents willing to accept you, it will be fine."

He Yuyu thought for a while and said, "How about you join our household registration and be my younger brother?"

Yi Wei hesitated and said, "This is not good, will it cause you trouble?"

He Yushui stared at her almond eyes, and asked with a straight face: "What? You don't want to be my brother, do you have a sister like me?"

Yi Wei hurriedly said with a smile: "Sister Yuyu, I didn't mean that, I was afraid of causing trouble for you."

He Yuyu then smiled: "It's almost the same, you go home with me first, ask my brother about the account registration at night, will you save me again today?"

He Yuyu was pushing the car to leave, and Yi Wei shouted, "Sister Yuyu, wait a minute."

After speaking, he ran back and picked up the wooden stick bayonet he made, then picked up the dead black dog, and put it on the back seat of the bicycle.

Said: "Sister Yushui, do you know any chefs? If you sell the black dog to the chef, can you get some money?"

He Yuyu said: "My brother is the chef of the cafeteria of the Red Star Rolling Mill. I asked him to peel and stew it at night to make up for your body. You are too thin."

"It's because God opened my eyes that I can live so long," Yi Wei said.

"Don't worry, Yi Wei, my sister will take care of you in the future, and I will definitely make you fat." He Yushui said.

Yi Wei looked at He Yuyu, who was a little thin. He didn't know how much meat He Yuzhu brought back every day. How many pieces of meat He Yuzhu could eat, most of them went into the mouths of Qin Huairu's children.
