The story of the struggle of the poor girl who crossed

Chapter 9 Satisfaction
Drinking wild vegetable and wolf broth with no oil or salt, Banxia felt it was extremely delicious, and she couldn't help crying: "Now, I don't know how mother and the others are, whether Xiaowu is starving. If this broth, if they eat it today How good it would be if you could drink it at night!"

After Liang Gaoshan heard his son's words, he couldn't help but stop drinking the soup, his hands shaking violently.A man who is not afraid of suffering or tiredness, remembering that his wife, children and mother have nothing to eat or drink at home, he only feels that the broth in his mouth is extremely bitter and hard to swallow.

Mai Xiang couldn't help tears welling up in her eyelashes, she pondered for a while, and said to Liang Gaoshan: "Father, why don't you let Pinellia bring water, wild vegetables and wolf meat home tomorrow, and I will go to the county town to sell things with you ?” To go to the county seat from here, one must pass by the vicinity of Liangjia’ao.

Liangjia'ao is the village where Mai Xiang's family lives.

Liang Gaoshan: "Alright, I'm still thinking, I'm afraid we'll have to go from early morning to evening when we arrive at the county seat tomorrow. In this case, we'll have to spend the night in the county seat. Go home." In this way, the family will be hungry and thirsty for another day.

The three of them drank wolf meat and wild vegetable soup, and had to learn from yesterday. They found a big tree with luxuriant branches and dug traps around the big tree.Then, the three of them climbed up the big tree again, assuming that the big tree was the bed.

That night, the three of them were extremely tired, and soon fell into a deep sleep.None of the three knew what happened under the tree.

Waking up early the next morning, a big surprise made the three of them weep with joy.

Wow, there is a wild boar weighing more than one hundred catties in the trap!The wild boar was stabbed in many places by sharp wooden sticks and bamboo slices, bleeding profusely, and was already dying.

Both Ban Xia and Mai Xiang couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

Wow!Now, there is pork to eat!This pork is ten times better than wolf meat!

There was a wolf-like green light in Ban Xia's eyes.

Liang Gaoshan smiled until there was only a slit in his eyes.He smiled and said: "Hey, this wild boar is more expensive than domestic pigs. If you sell it to restaurants and rich people, you can get a lot of money!" Hey, if you sell tiger skins, tiger bones, wolf skins, and wild boars, you can You get a lot of money, and you don't have to worry about anything at home!

When Mai Xiang saw him like this, what didn't he understand?It was worth the hardship and fright that I had to take this trip out for!She cheerfully suggested: "Daddy, we can't carry such a big wild boar, and it's too eye-catching. Why don't we kill the wild boar on the spot and divide it into pieces. Then, the three of us A pot of wild boar and wild vegetable soup, have a good meal. Roast some wild boar, let the second brother take it home, and let mother and grandma satisfy their hunger. The rest, go to the county to sell, okay?"

"Very good, let's do it this way!" Liang Gaoshan agreed, took Ban Xia's small machete, and started to kill pigs.

Half an hour later, the three drank the fragrant wild boar and wild vegetable soup, and the satisfied smiles on their faces could not be suppressed no matter what.

Liang Gaoshan cut a few bamboos, weaved two simple baskets on the spot, and cut a miscellaneous tree to make a pole.His own big basket was filled with wild vegetables, and two pieces of roast pork and one piece of raw pork were buried in the wild vegetables.This big basket weighed about twelve to three catties, so I handed it over to Pinellia to carry it.

Although the ten-year-old peasant boy is very thin, he has a lot of tenacity and perseverance. In his opinion, this kind of burden is not unbearable.He grinned, cheerfully put the basket on his back, his face was filled with brilliant brilliance.

After walking for an hour, the father and daughter met a bullock cart going to town. Mai Xiang discussed with his father and gave the driver a piece of wolf meat about one catty, and the three of them got into the bullock cart .Although the bullock cart is very slow, it is faster than walking anyway, and it can be less tiring.
