Back to 1984: Hunting in the Mountains

Chapter 17 Enemies meet on a narrow road
Yu Xiaowei and Yu Qiutang slept at night.

As soon as he got on the kang, Yu Qiutang was almost fainted by the little guy's stinky feet.

This was something he had never thought of before.

No matter how much memory he has of his past life or how capable he is, he cannot overcome his nephew's stinky feet.

I wanted him to go wash, but the bucket was out of water.

It was inconvenient to run to the kitchen to fetch water, so Wang Chunhua and Yu Qiushi slept on the kang in the kitchen.

But I am embarrassed to tell my child because I am afraid it will undermine his self-confidence.

Children are very sensitive.

I want to cover my head, but it's summer and it's too hot to breathe.

Moreover, his five senses have been modified and are more sensitive than those of ordinary people. This extra-dimensional attack is really unbearable.

"Uncle, what are you going to do tomorrow?"

"what?"

"Hehe, just asking." Yu Xiaowei leaned over and stared at Yu Qiutang in the dark.

"I'm going to go to the mountains and get some things to sell at the market the day after tomorrow and bring back some money. You see, we still lack a lot of things in the kitchen. At the very least, we need to buy another pot, otherwise we won't be able to boil water."

"So, what are you looking for?"

"Why, you want to go together?"

"Hey, that's what I mean. Take me with you. I promise I won't hold you back."

"You're just a kid, what can you do to help? You'd better stay at home so that I won't have to worry about you when you go out."

"uncle!!"

Yu Xiaowei grabbed Yu Qiutang's arm and shook him, "Are you just going to take me with you? Look at me, I'm already this big, tall, and strong. Many adults on the team are not as tall as me, but they still go to the mountains to cause trouble. Why can't I do that?"

"Look at you, you think the mountain is like a street where anyone can go. It's dangerous in the mountain. If something happens to you, how can I explain to you and your parents?"

"No, no, I'm awesome~"

"No."

Yu Qiutang still disagreed. You are almost stink your uncle to death, and I still want to take you to the mountains. This is absolutely not possible.

"Uncle, if you don't take me with you, then I will follow you. Anyway, I have decided to help you. I am so old, I can't just eat and drink for free. You can't support four of us by yourself. You are only a few years older than me."

"Are you serious, brat?"

"Hehe~, if you agree, I will definitely not embarrass you. You have to trust me. Look at me doing things normally. I am very efficient. When have I ever been a drag?"

Although Yu Qiutang couldn't see his face clearly, he could still imagine Yu Xiaowei's smiling face and felt helpless.

He thought about it and thought that maybe it would be a good idea to take it for exercise.

Looking at this child, he doesn't seem to be good at studying. He will learn some knowledge in school, and he will definitely have to settle down in this mountain in the future, so there's nothing wrong in taking him to familiarize himself with it in advance.

"Okay then, I can take you with me, but you have to agree to three conditions."

"Any more requests?"

"It would be better if you don't agree, then just stay home and don't go anywhere."

"Promise, promise. I'll agree to whatever you say. Okay?"

"The first thing is that when you come with me to the mountains, you are not allowed to complain about being tired. You must keep up with me, even if it means risking your life. If I hear you complain about being tired, I will immediately send you down the mountain, and I will never take you with me again."

"I won't complain about being tired. I definitely won't complain about being tired!!"

"Second, the mountains are much more dangerous than you think. You must listen to me and stay beside me at all times. You must not run around without my permission. If I can't see you in my field of vision, you must get off the mountain."

"Okay, okay, I heard you. I will definitely follow you closely and never get out of your way. You can't get rid of me." "The third point is, if anything unusual happens, I tell you to run, and you must run without any hesitation..."

"What do you mean? Why don't I understand, uncle?"

"You don't need to understand, just be obedient. Anyway, as soon as you hear me say run, you should immediately run the way you came. Do you hear me?"

"I heard it, but I have a question, uncle."

"What?"

"If you let me run, I will turn around and run. But what if I run out of your sight? You will still chase me down the mountain."

"Fool."

Yu Qiutang was speechless. He patted Yu Xiaowei on the head in the dark and said, "I told you to run. If you run away, it's not a foul."

"Okay, now I understand what you said."

"Okay then, go to bed early. We'll get up at five tomorrow morning and head into the mountains. Don't be too tired to get up by then."

"I promise I can get up."

Yu Xiaowei turned around and began to feel sleepy. Just when Yu Qiutang thought he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly said in the dark: "Uncle, where did you get your pheasant?"

"Can I sleep?!"

"Just one last question."

"I told you, it fell from the sky."

"Oh." Yu Xiaowei responded very unsatisfactorily, and there was no other sound.

Yu Qiutang also felt sleepy at this time and fell asleep in a daze. It felt like he hadn't fallen asleep yet when he heard a loud and bright "Gao Gai Gai Lou" rooster cry echoing through the pit courtyard, waking him up from his dream.

I turned my head and looked out the window. It was already dawn.

Just as he was about to call Yu Xiaowei, he saw Yu Xiaowei looking at him with his eyes wide open, "Uncle, do you want to get up?"

"rise!"

Yu Qiutang got up and put on a vest. Yu Xiaowei didn't even take off his vest. He jumped off the kang and put on shoes that exposed several of his toes.

"Let's go~"

"Wait, wipe your face with a wet towel first. Look how black your face is."

The child has no habit of washing his face at night, and the sweat from sleeping all night has smeared his face into a big clown.

This is actually very common in children at this age.

Many people can’t even get enough to eat, so how can they care about their appearance?

Even though Yu Qiutang was still not used to it, he secretly swore in his heart that the water problem must be solved first, otherwise it would be too inconvenient.

After going to the toilet, Yu Qiutang still carried the axe, and asked Yu Xiaowei to carry a basket and prepare two snakeskin bags.

Just as he thought last night, he had to find something that could be exchanged for money immediately to supplement his basic living conditions.

Yu Xiaowei was carrying a basket and walking in front of Yu Qiutang. He was in high spirits, with brisk and lively steps.

Along the way, he asked Yu Qiutang about things in the mountains from time to time.

Yu Qiutang was also affected by his passion and tried his best to tell him all the relevant knowledge and experience he asked. The more Yu Xiaowei listened, the more he liked it. His eyes lit up and he wished he could fly to the mountains immediately.

"Hey, you guys are here so early in the morning, carrying axes and baskets, are you going to steal?"

The two were walking forward excitedly when they suddenly heard someone asking them a question. They looked around and saw no one on the road. They looked up and saw someone drying corn on the roof of his house.

It's a narrow road that enemies meet. It happened to be the aunt who was hit by a dirt lump yesterday.
