Disastrous year!Before the whole family is wiped out, a little blessing falls from the sky!

Chapter 5 A False Alarm!
Tai Yongning, on the other hand, dragged his lame leg and lowered his head.

Yang Lihua couldn't bear to see her son like this, so she quickly stuffed her well-fed little girl into his arms.

Holding the fragrant and soft breast dumpling sister, Tai Yongning immediately forgot his frustration.

After dinner, Tai Jizu was about to set off with the three boys.

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue came to their sister's side and patted their chests to reassure themselves.

"Sister, just wait, third brother will catch pheasants for you!"

"There are also rabbits. Fourth brother will also catch a nest for you!"

Yang Lihua was removing the table, when she heard this, she raised her hand and patted the backs of the two boys, and said: "Even if you can't catch the pheasant and the rabbit, you are also Zhuzhu's brother!

"You were indeed at fault for what happened yesterday, but Zhuzhu woke up and you caught fish again, so you have made up for it."

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue felt guilty, shrinking their necks and having red circles under their eyes.

They thought the family didn't know.

I was tortured by guilt all day and night, and worried that my sister would suddenly become stupid again. It was even worse than death...

It turned out that the two brothers were responsible for taking care of their sister yesterday, so they took her out to play when they were bored.

As a result, he started quarreling with the boys in the village over trivial matters.

After the fight, I turned around and found that my sister had been pushed down by Gou Sheng'er...

If they hadn't been playful, my sister wouldn't have hurt her head!

Mr. Tai picked up his pipe and pot, knocked his grandson on the head, and set the tone for what had happened before, "I know I can't help Zhuzhu, so treat her better in the future. Next time, I'll break your legs." "

"No, grandpa, we dare not again."

"Yes, we definitely dare not!"

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue nodded their heads quickly, assuring them like chickens pecking at rice.

Zhuzhu patted the chubby hand and giggled, and the whole family also laughed...

Although the new year has passed, the Northland is still a long way from the spring day.

The snow in the village and outside the village is too thick, and there is no trace of melting at all.

Tai Jizu stepped on the snow nest in front, step by step, and the broken snow quickly filled his shoes, but he still walked forward firmly.

Tai Yongan and other three boys followed closely behind, stepping on the footprints, which saved a lot of effort.

The north wind was blowing in our face, and no one dared to speak.

Otherwise, it is no joke to be filled with cold wind. Unless you lie on the kang for half a day, you will easily get stomachache or wind chill.

The whistling white air spewed out from the mouth of the four masters, and soon fell on the eyelashes and eyebrows, condensing into a layer of hoarfrost, which melted a little and was frozen into ice balls.

The suffering in the North is beyond the imagination of the people in the South.

It's no wonder that the people in the Northland are tough, but if they are any weaker, they can't survive the wind and snow!

As soon as he reached the foot of the back mountain, Tai Jizu saw an old man chopping firewood.

Perhaps hearing the movement, the old man turned his head and smiled, showing his yellow teeth.

Tai Jizu hurriedly said hello, "Uncle Dumb, is there no firewood at home?"

The old man nodded, raised his hand and gestured for a long while, but he looked enthusiastically.

Tai Jizu guessed the meaning and smiled: "Thank you for your concern, Uncle Mute, my Zhuzhu is doing much better.

"I'll bring the boys over to see if we can catch some rabbits and pheasants to replenish Zhuzhu's health."

The mute nodded, pointed to the north side of the mountain, and made another gesture.

Then, he walked away carrying firewood, and the ragged raincoat on his body was lifted by the wind, revealing his arms that were red from the cold.

Tai Jizu asked the boys to follow him to the north, "Uncle Mute said that the north has the most bird nests. Let us go and see if we can get the eggs."

Tai Yongan cheered and rushed forward.

Tai Yonglu still didn't forget to yell, "San Pang said that he smelled meat on Uncle Dumb, Uncle Dumb must have come out to steal prey, he knows where to find good things!

"Hurry up, I'm going to pick out bird eggs and cook them for my sister!"

Tai Jizu followed behind, smiled and didn't take it seriously.

Uncle Mute's surname is not Tai, but a foreigner who fled from the south many years ago.

But he can't speak, and he is willing to lend a hand to help when there is a job, and has a good temper, so the villagers allow him to stay and stay in the village until now.

It's just that the dumb uncle is old and occasionally goes to the city to beg.

It takes two or three days to travel dozens of miles back and forth. How can I have the strength and ability to hunt? !
Life is hard for every family in the village. The children are going crazy with hunger. Everyone looks like meat and they want to take a bite...

With great difficulty, the four of us stepped on the snow nest and climbed to the north of the mountain. As expected, the woods here are very dense, and there are many bird nests on the canopy.

It's just that the birds nest and lay eggs to incubate their cubs in spring, and they all take them to the south in autumn, so it's not likely that they will leave a few eggs for the north wind to freeze and play.

But Tai Jizu looked around, the snow layer under the woods was smooth, and there was not even a footprint of a small animal, so there must be no hope for hunting.

At any rate, try to dig out the eggs, or they'll be wasting their time.

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue did not think so much at all, they had already hugged a tree and started climbing.

Unfortunately, they all got nothing.

Tai Yong'an also picked a tree and climbed up it, and in the end he did like his younger brothers.

After searching for a while, Tai Jizu settled on the thickest tree on the edge of the cliff. There were three bird nests on the tree.

He simply took off his heavy jacket, let his son hug him, and then climbed up with a cloth bag in his mouth.

God finally opened his eyes. There were actually eggs in the three bird nests. Together, there were more than twenty eggs!
Under the tree, Tai Yongan, Tai Yonglu, and Tai Yongyue watched their father (uncle) pick up the eggs, and they were already howling with excitement.

Tai Jizu also laughed happily and shouted, "Don't shout, you brats. Be careful of getting into trouble. Wait until I get down..."

Halfway through his words, snow particles fell into the collar of his coat, making him shrink forward subconsciously with the coldness.

Tai Jizu felt a gust of cold wind at the back of his head, and before he could react, the tree trunk he was relying on suddenly broke...

Without support, Tai Jizu directly planted the tree and fell off the cliff!

"father!"

"Uncle!"

The three boys went crazy with fright, and screamed desperately before falling down the cliff.

Fortunately, Tai Jizu was stopped twice by a small tree growing on the edge of the cliff, and finally fell on a bush.

Tai Yongan cried and laughed in surprise, and rolled and crawled down the snowy slope on one side.

Tai Jizu barely escaped death, but it took him a long time to recover.

He turned over and got out of the bush and fell into the snow nest. He held the cloth bag containing the eggs in one hand and supported his body with the other. He turned his head and looked at the cliff in surprise.

At this time, the three boys had arrived.

"Dad, are you okay? Where did you break it?" Tai Yongan helped his father up and put a coat on him.

Tai Yonglu also took the cloth bag and stuffed it to Tai Yongyue.

"I'm fine. The cliff is not too high and nothing was broken." Tai Jizu stood up and patted the remaining snow on his body, fearing that the children would be worried.

But he had something in his heart, no matter how he looked at the quiet snowfield around him, something was wrong, so he hurried home.
