"My Beiye is awesome."

His father said with a smile.

"But it's summer, and it's time for wild animals to come out of their holes for food, so you have to be careful.

Otherwise, next time you may not be so lucky to meet a wild boar. "

Li Beiye replied with a smile:

"Dad, don't worry, I know what to do, and I will pay attention."

His parents patted him on the shoulder with relief on their faces.

"By the way, Dad, I just went to the village chief's house to borrow something."

Li Beiye said suddenly.

"What?"

"This is it."

He held the board and pointed to the pattern drawn on it.

"Oh... what is it?"

"I picked it up in the mountains. I've already memorized a crude herbal atlas."

Li Beiye drew the picture of the herbal medicine in his memory and gave it to his father.

"I drew the picture, take a look, and let me know if you recognize it."

"Okay, I'll go back and try to study it later."

His father stared at the note in his hand carefully, and found that the name and year of the herbal medicine had been written on the note by Li Beiye with a cinnabar pen.

"I've seen all the herbs above, and they are all relatively common herbs, but these herbs can't be sold for much in the market.

It is estimated that it is only used to make plasters, or simply dried to make tea. "

"Well, I also know that, these medicines are really useless." Li Beiye said.

"Since you know, you still want to buy it?"

His father was puzzled.

"Although these medicines are worthless, they will always come in handy."

Li Beiye's words stunned his father, who seemed to understand what he meant, and then laughed.

"You kid, you have an idea. Yes, there is indeed such a way to improve the combat effectiveness of the villagers."

Their backcountry is far away, and there is no shortage of food and vegetables at all.

Therefore, the physique of the villagers is generally weak, if there are more people in the village.

Those bandits must not dare to act rashly.

His father nodded.

"You kid is not only courageous, but also assertive. You are worthy of being the son of my Li Nanguo.
Just have backbone!Our father and I are going to bed first, and your mother is exhausted, let her go to bed first. "

Li Beiye nodded obediently.

Watching his parents turn off the lights and leave, then close the door.

He looked at the wooden board in his hand and couldn't help laughing. He had never tried hunting before.

I hope it will be the same this time, and I can successfully hunt down the prey.

He moved the boards into the room, then undressed and went to bed.

Not long after Li Beiye lay down, he fell asleep. I don't know how long it took.

He suddenly heard a commotion outside, and then the hooves of several horses galloping in the distance.He opened his eyes.

I heard several men running towards this side on horseback, and one of them shouted loudly

: "Village Chief, those bastards have robbed other people's cattle and sheep again!"

The village head quickly put on his coat and rushed out the door. Their cattle and sheep disappeared last night.

Hearing the news now, he rushed over in a hurry.

"Please clarify, what do you mean by robbing other people's cattle and sheep?"

Li Beiye heard the words of the village chief.

Knowing that his cattle and sheep had been robbed, he couldn't help frowning.

"While we were fishing by the river, we saw some young men scurrying about in the woods.

They grabbed our village's cattle and sheep and fled into the mountains. We chased them all the way, and finally we only chased them to the river. As a result, they threw the cattle and sheep into the river and ran away.

Village head, I suspect that group of boys are outsiders, they came here specially to rob! "

Village Chief Li's frown deepened as he looked at the group of people on horseback.

"Where did this group of people come from? Apart from you, there should be no outsiders in our village."

"Village Chief, the outfits of this group of people and their weapons look a bit weird.

They should be foreigners, the village head, should we report to the officials? ' suggested one of his companions.

"No need, this matter should not be publicized for the time being, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

Village Chief Li shook his head and said.

After the village chief said this, the rest of the people did not pursue the matter any further.

"You all go back and rest, I'll go check it out alone."

The village chief's companions dissuaded him after hearing this.

"Village Chief, you should stay in the village. Those people are very vicious. It's too dangerous for you to go alone!"

"It's okay, I have a measure."

The village chief waved his hand and refused.

The rest of the people saw that he was persistent, so they didn't persist.

After Village Chief Li left, he ran straight towards the direction where the group of people came from. He thought to himself that the group of thieves should never run back to the village again.

That way they won't be able to catch up, and I hope they haven't returned to the village yet.

Soon the village chief found the traces of the group of people running away, found a tree along the route of the group's escape, and climbed up.

Village head Li stood on a big tree with lush branches and looked down at the surroundings. There are many tall and strong trees in this forest.

Standing like an ancient tree, blocking the sun, it looks dark and damp.

"Where are you? I've chased you here, get out!" Village Chief Li shouted at the top of his voice.

But there was still no response, not even the chirping of birds and insects, and the surroundings were quiet.

"Don't hide, I have already spotted you, if you have the guts, come out and fight!"

There was no response to Village Chief Li's words, he cursed again, and then jumped off the big tree

Then he ran in the direction where the bandits left.

When Li Beiye woke up the next morning, his father and mother had already gone out to work.

After he finished washing, he was going to chop the firewood, and then boil water for cooking.

No matter where you are, life in the countryside is like this. You start to prepare at dawn in the morning and rest only after dark.

While working in the kitchen, Li Beiye found a piece of worn fabric, and he reached out to touch it.

Finding that it was a piece of animal skin, he frowned.

In this day and age, who would wear animal skins?He remembered that the old people of their generation had very little animal skins on their bodies, and they were usually reluctant to wear them.

And animal skins are generally prepared for children or females.

Li Beiye packed up the animal skin and was going to ask someone back.

After he heated up all the firewood in the stove, he began to cook and eat.

After eating, he chopped up the remaining wild boar and added it to stew.

After Li Beiye added water to the pot, he sat beside him and waited until the soup boiled.

He picked up the pork, sprinkled it with salt, stirred it evenly, put it in a wooden spoon, and covered the iron pot.

After the pork was cooked, Li Beiye took out another clay pot and poured the pot of wild pork into it.

Then cover the pot again.

"This can of pork soup should be enough for them to drink two or three meals. I hope they can survive this time."

Li Beiye muttered to himself.

He was about to wash the dishes.

Suddenly there was a noise outside.

"Dad, what's the matter?"

After Li Beiye finished wiping the tables, chairs and benches, he turned to ask his father.

"The cattle and sheep in the dog's house in the village were stolen, and they all went out to look for them."

Li Nan replied.

It turned out that the cattle and sheep in the village were kept in the cattle pen. Once the cattle and sheep were lost, they would run out in panic, and all the men in the village went out to look for them.

After Li Beiye finished listening, he was silent for a while, and then asked:

"Then why don't they go to the members of the wolf gang? The members of the wolf gang are much better than the villagers."

"Those bastards from the wolf gang hooked up with that group of thieves. They must have gone to nowhere now!"

The villagers said angrily.

Li Beiye nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps at the entrance of the village.

The village head led the people in.

"Village chief, we haven't found the gang of thieves, they don't know where they are hiding."

"That's all right, you guys should pay more attention to the situation around here these days, don't let them run away anymore, I'll go to the county seat to ask the county magistrate for instructions."

The village head exhorted.

"Well, we know, village chief, please go slowly."

As soon as the village chief left, Li Donghu brought his wife over. Li Donghu's wife was named Zhao.

She is a very simple-looking girl, with a beautiful appearance and a gentle and demure appearance. Although her face is pale, she can hardly hide her beauty. She is a beauty.

Li Donghu nodded in satisfaction after seeing his wife's appearance.

Then he said to Li Beiye: "Ye'er, go feed the chickens and ducks first."

Li Beiye responded, and took the bamboo basket to the stream to feed the chickens and ducks.

After Li Beiye had fed the chickens and ducks, he returned home.

His father pulled him into the house, and asked, "What does the village chief want me to do?"

"Why did the village chief come to see you?"

Li Donghu asked back.

"It is said that a thief has escaped, but they have been chasing him for an hour and they still haven't come back.

Several cows and donkeys in the village were missing, probably stolen. "

Li Donghu frowned, "Why was it stolen? We were still hunting here yesterday.

Didn't hear anything. "

Li Beiye scratched his head, "I heard a few screams in the distance.

I don't know the specifics, but the sound didn't sound like a wolf howling, but more like a cat's meowing. "

He couldn't help shivering at the thought of this, and always felt that the sound was terrifying.

Li Donghu thought for a moment.

"That should be a wild cat stealing food, don't be afraid."

Li Donghu comforted Li Beiye, and after a while he went to work in the field.

Li Beiye watched the village chief leave, he sighed, and looked at his tattered clothes.

He decided to try his best to improve the living environment at home.

Both clothes and food need money, if not money.

They simply cannot survive, let alone support a child now.

There are now two boys and two girls in their family.His daughter is also one year old.

The girl's name is Li Xue'er, she is five years old this year, she is chubby and looks extremely cute.

And they are twin sisters, the older one is called Li Chuner, and the younger one is called Li Qiulan.

Li Beiye had no parents since he was a child, and his grandparents took care of him.

The grandparents are also ordinary peasants, and the family is so poor that they cannot afford to educate the two daughters.

His father died when he was three years old, leaving only him and his younger brother Li Donghai.

He and Li Donghai are 14 years old and the other is [-] years old. The two brothers depend on each other for life.

It's been a long time since their father passed away, and their grandparents are getting old.

That's why he wanted to make some money by himself.

While thinking about it, Li Beiye filled a wooden basin with half a basin of lard.

Then he walked towards the cave in the mountain.

Those thieves did not know where they got a lot of lard. In the past few days, the village has sent a lot of lard, but it is not enough for everyone to eat for a while.

Now his father is going to send another batch, so he has to dig some back before dawn.

Lest there be no more tomorrow.

After walking for a while, Li Beiye came to the previous cave, at the entrance of the cave.

He saw the bandits before were grilling meat.

The bandits saw him coming, and joked with him with a smile:
"Hey, isn't this our little child prodigy? You haven't been to school these days."

"Recently something urgent happened at home."

Li Beiye explained lightly.

In fact, he doesn't want to go to school, he just wants to earn a little more money in exchange for a road guide.

Go to town and find a job to do.

"Then is there any news about your father now? The village chief said that the gang of thieves not only robbed his house,

He also killed several dogs in the village. "

These days, his father and the village head were busy catching thieves, so they didn't have time to pay attention to his lame, useless son.

I don't know if his father and the village chief sent someone to pick him up.

Li Beiye shook his head.

"not yet."

Since those people dared to do something, it proved that the village chief and the others had been scared away.

It is impossible for the village head to come and arrest him again.

At this time, the bandits suddenly smiled, then stood up and patted the dust on their buttocks.

"Little prodigy, we will go to patrol the entrance of the village tonight, if you need anything.

You can just call our brothers a few times. "

"You don't need to bother uncles and aunts. You have worked hard these days. I am much better now. You should go back to sleep soon."

Li Beiye said, aren't they tired of staying in the cave?He felt a little strange.

"What is it, we are all used to it,

Besides, I have nothing to do these few days, so it's time to exercise. "

Bandit A waved his hand, looking indifferent.

Li Beiye was slightly surprised. It turned out that he still underestimated these people.

No matter how they did it, he just wanted them to be safe.

Li Beiye watched them leave before he returned to the room and took out a pack of peppers.

He picked it on the river beach when he went out in the morning.

He plans to cook some chili sauce and add it to the meals for everyone.

This is a meal that people in the village often eat recently.

Li Beiye washed the chili peppers, cut them into pieces and fried them in a pan, then stirred the chili peppers and rice noodles evenly.

He turned on the fire to cook again, made a big pot of rice paste, and waited until all the meals were ready.

He took the bowl and chopsticks to the next room and knocked on Li Donghu's door.

"Father, wake up and eat."

Li Donghu got up rubbing his eyes, opened the door and found that Li Beiye had already set the table and chopsticks.

"Beiye, this is..."

"Father, this is the rice porridge I just made, eat it while it's hot."

As Li Beiye said, he picked up a small piece and handed it to Li Donghu's mouth in a sticky manner.

Seeing his son's well-behaved and sensible appearance, his heart softened.

Although the family is poor, the family is happy and harmonious, and the husband and wife are loving.

His son is sensible and filial, and handsome, he is a very popular young man in their village
