Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 8 Changes
After tearing up a little chicken breast, Gu Siwei put it in his mouth and tasted it. The fishy smell was still a bit heavy, but it was not impossible to swallow. Under the current conditions, Gu Siwei could only be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

The four monkeys sitting not far away did not dislike them. They stared at Gu Siwei with open eyes one by one, and a little farther away from them was the whole group of monkeys.

The eating order of Gu Siwei's wild small group is like this, Gu Siwei is the first, the second is the sycophant, the third group is the three sycophant's subordinates, and the last is the monkey group.

The food was passed on layer by layer, and Gu Siwei was naturally the best. The burnt pheasant went to the sycophant, and the more burnt pheasant went to the sycophant's men, and the black ones with bones were the turn of the monkeys.

Do you think this is a disaster?The original monkey king can only gnaw bones now, and it is the kind of bones that have been sucked countless times by other monkeys. Not to mention the meat, there is not even a pheasant taste left.

Although the taste is bad, this is the first time Gu Siwei has eaten a full meal here. After decades, I still don’t feel that there is anything special about a full meal, but now? !

Gu Siwei patted his belly happily, wishing to sing a song to express his feelings.

There are prey for the village, but Gu Siwei doesn't want to go back just like that. He also wants to get acquainted with the mountains and forests. To be precise, he wants to explore the bottom along the river to see what animals and plants are edible nearby. In any case, you can change the taste between Tiantian Stick Noodles.

With this idea in mind, Gu Siwei continued to search along the river.

From the straight line alone, Gu Siwei is quite close to the village now, at most a straight-line distance of about ten kilometers, but if there is no space for Gu Siwei to walk on two legs, it may take at least a day to return to the village time.

Walk ten kilometers a day?This is not an exaggeration at all, this is a mountainous area, the so-called Wangshan runs dead horses, not to mention you are in the mountains, it looks very close, but the mountain road is dangerous, the villages on the two mountain tops can see each other, let you go It's not unusual for a day or two.

Soon Gu Siwei found traces of wild boars by the river. In fact, he didn’t know much about wild boars, but it’s still the old saying. Have you never eaten pork and seen pigs run? knew.

There are pig's hoof prints by the river, and there are pig feces. If this is not a wild boar, what is it?
When the wild boar was found, Gu Siwei had to wait for a while according to the list, but after waiting for several hours, he did not get the result, so Gu Siwei continued to search upstream.

Two days later, Gu Siwei was about to go back to the village when he heard the howling of tigers in the forest.

Ow!Ow!
The echo that shook the mountains and forests immediately made Gu Siwei understand what kind of power is called tigers roaring in the mountains and forests.

Gu Siwei wanted to see the tiger very much, but it was a pity that he had no ability to find the tiger at all. After understanding this, Gu Siwei turned his head honestly and walked back to the village along the river.

When he came, he went over mountains and ridges, but when he went back, Gu Siwei simply made a raft, and tied a few thick logs with vines, and let them go down directly along the big river.

It's not that Gu Siwei is really free, Lao Gu is going to settle in the village, and there must be a place to live in the future, just the broken houses in the village, how could Gu Siwei, who came back after decades of beating, get used to living.

Wanting to live comfortably, Gu Siwei thought that he had to build a new house by himself.

What are the materials for building a new house?It is nothing more than wood, cement and stone. Gu Siwei, who does not have tiles, thinks it is dangerous. Now the National Movement does not know whether there are tiles, and even if there are tiles, he probably will not buy them with money.

I don't know, anyway, Gu Siwei is going to take a walk and have a look. If it doesn't work, we should use grass to cover the roof.

Grass can be used to deal with the roof, but it is impossible to use grass for the beams, so the wood that Gu Siwei rafted came in handy.

Very smooth, from upstream to downstream is really very smooth, it is a little apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the broken raft has passed several mountains.

Seeing the village, the water slowed down, and Gu Siwei held a stick with a thick arm as a pole.

As the village became bigger and bigger in Gu Siwei's sight, the people in the village quickly discovered Gu Siwei.

"Someone is coming, someone is coming!"

The naughty children scrambled to meet him, and they ran with Fazi by the river, yelling and yelling as they ran.

The cries of the children drew all the adults out of the house. They saw Gu Siwei first, and then saw the four pheasants on Gu Siwei's raft. The smiles on many people's faces became stronger.

"Uncle Liu! Captain Yang!..."

Gu Siwei leaned the raft to the shore, greeted everyone watching the fun on the shore, and then picked up the four pheasants on the raft.

Coming to Liu Fulin's side, Gu Siwei handed over the four pheasants bundled together in twos.

"This……"

I wanted to take it in my heart, but Liu Fulin was a little embarrassed. Two days ago, I asked him when he was leaving, but now he just reached out to pick it up when he came back with a chicken?
Gu Siwei directly stuffed the chicken into Liu Fulin's hands: "Thanks to the care of the folks these days, this thing should be."

"Comrade Gu, where did you catch this pheasant, it's so fat."

There was an old man who came to join in the fun and asked while smoking a pipe.

Gu Siwei said: "I don't really know where it is, anyway, I caught it when I saw it."

The old man nodded after hearing this, and stopped talking.

The old man is an old farmer. He knows that such a fat pheasant is not easy to catch. There are two main reasons. One is that the villagers have nothing to eat or drink these years, and all the pheasants that are easy to catch nearby have been caught.

The second is that almost all the edible things nearby have gone into the stomach, whether it is wild fruits or wild vegetables, they are all used as food, and there is no food or drink. Naturally, the pheasants in the mountains will not come here again.

Anyway, the situation is very difficult. On the one hand, there are no small animals such as pheasants within ten miles, let alone pheasants, and now voles are hardly seen in the vicinity.

"There are wild persimmons in the basket!"

Gu Siwei pointed at the straw bag placed on the raft, and said that the straw bag was actually a random weave of a few vines, and it contained the persimmons that Gu Siwei took from the monkey.

As for the persimmons in the space, if Gu Siwei is willing, but he has to pick them one by one. In space or outside space.

While Gu Siwei was speaking, Liu Dezhu was already standing on the raft, and he stretched out his hand to push aside some hay covering it, revealing the red persimmons like little lanterns.

The folks are very knowledgeable about this stuff. There are persimmon trees in the village, and the fruits they bear are not bad, but in terms of appearance, they are much worse than this persimmon.

Liu Dezhu reached out to take one, simply wiped it and put it in his mouth.

After taking a bite, he grinned and shouted to everyone on the shore: "Sweet!"

When he said it was sweet, the drooling children on the shore couldn't help it, and immediately started to grab it.

When Liu Dezhu saw it, he immediately bit the remaining half persimmon in his mouth, stretched out his hand to pick up the rattan bag, and put it on the shore.

Waiting to be put on the shore, the persimmons are already less than half.

"taste"

Gu Siwei said to Liu Fulin and Captain Yang Yang Chuanwu.

The two were no longer polite, and each took a persimmon.

"good to eat!"

"Is this a wild persimmon?"

Yang Chuanwu couldn't believe it. These f*cking wild persimmons taste better than the ones grown in the village. There's no reasoning for this.

"Well, it's really a wild persimmon"

Gu Siwei replied, and after seeing Liu Dezhu handed him a persimmon, he waved his hand.

"I have eaten in the mountains".

Liu Dezhu asked: "There are a lot of persimmons there?"

"Not too many, but there are still some. I don't have bags or baskets here, so I can only bring so much back. There are probably two or three baskets in Murakami there, but this is not sure. Now this persimmon refers to Maybe it will attract birds or something," Gu Siwei said.

Guo Xiangping opened his mouth and asked, "Can you tell me where the persimmon tree is, roughly where it is."

Gu Siwei didn't lie to him so much, he just told about the location of the persimmon tree.

Guo Xiangping was stunned after hearing this, and looked at Gu Siwei in disbelief: "Can you go to the top of that mountain?"

It wasn't Guo Xiangping either. The old people nearby were a little confused, because they knew where this place was, and none of them had the ability to go up there.

It is no ordinary person to climb mountains and ridges like flat land. Even old mountain climbers, there are few who can climb tens of meters of cliffs with bare hands.

Those who can do this kind of thing can count all Zhuangzi in the whole vicinity with one slap.

"You went up?"

Some people still can't believe it.

Gu Siwei showed off a little, and said with a smile: "Well, I went up, it looks dangerous, but it's nothing."

This coin was pretended by Lao Gu, which made a group of old men speechless, and some of them simply stopped talking and continued to suck the persimmons in their hands.

After chatting for a while, everyone ate the persimmons, and now they couldn't eat the chicken, so everyone helped Gu Siwei pull the raft ashore, and got together for a while, and then went home with three or five persimmons.

On Gu Siwei's side, he followed Liu Fulin, Liu Dezhu, and his grandson back to their courtyard.

Going back, basking in the sun while continuing to knock on the chestnuts. When it was time to eat, everyone heard the ringing of the bell, and they got up and went to the dining hall.

Gu Siwei brought the pheasant, so the porridge in the pot at night will naturally taste better.

There were some extra chicken nuggets in the porridge.

Not counting chicken nuggets, chicken dices are about the same size, both bones and meat are about the size of a finger joint, and these things are usually put into the bowls of children, big and small.

The children gnawed the little bit of meat, and the leftovers passed through the mouths of the adults again, and the remaining bones were gnawed by the dogs again. It was really not a waste at all.

Gu Siwei definitely wouldn't eat it. How could he be interested in grabbing food from the children, besides, he had already eaten it here.

It’s also strange if you say it. When Gu Siwei ate it, he thought it was fishy and tasteless, but when he put a chicken in the big pot, the porridge was much sweeter than before.

Lao Gu, this is nonsense, it depends on how much it is fishy or not, a chicken, chopped into pieces and put into two large pots, and served to dozens of people in the village, if it is still fishy, ​​then the whole chicken is not so fishy smelly?

In short, today's meal is much more lively than before. Although there is only one chicken, the big guys seem to be enjoying the taste.

Not all the chickens were eaten, only one rooster was eaten, and the remaining one larger rooster and two hens were not eaten, and they were all kept in the woodshed in the dining hall.

For this reason, Yang Chuanwu also asked for Gu Siwei's opinion.
