nothing to play practice

Chapter 94 Tracking
Looking at the wild boar not far away, and at the younger brother who was holding a torch, his face was pale, his hands were shaking, and he was pretending to be calm. Tears flowed out of Kani's eyes unconsciously. Tightening the hatchet in her hand, Kani forced herself to calm down. It doesn't matter if something happened to her, but don't let her brother get hurt.

Kani and Kadi are brothers and sisters from an old Tujia village on the edge of Shennongjia. The location of the old village is very remote, and there are no towns around it. It takes two days to go back and forth to the town. Most of the people in the village are self-sufficient, and sometimes they buy some medicinal materials and go to the towns outside to exchange things. Later, with the help of the government, they went outside the forest near the town. A new village was built, and most of the people in the old village moved to the new village outside the forest. Some people who were reluctant to leave the old village remained in the old village. Is one of them.

There are only three people in Kani's family, Kani's siblings and an elderly grandfather. Kani is 14 years old this year, and her younger brother is 11 years old. Kani's mother died of illness shortly after giving birth to her younger brother, and Kani's father was also there. Three years ago when I went hunting in the forest, I died in the mouth of wolves, leaving only Kani and my grandfather to depend on each other. The local department knew the situation of the two brothers and sisters and took them to the school outside the forest for free. , the siblings are also competitive, and their grades in the study are also among the best. This year, Carney is just entering middle school, and Cardi is also in the fourth grade. It would be good if everything went on like this, but unfortunately, something unexpected happened. Ni's grandfather accidentally broke his leg when he went to the mountains to gather medicine in order to raise living expenses for the two siblings. If it hadn't been for an uncle in the same village who happened to find it when he went to gather medicine, the two siblings might never see their grandfather again.

Grandpa had an accident, and the news was like a bolt from the blue to the siblings. If grandpa had an accident, the siblings would be orphans. The moment they got the news, Ka Ni took her younger brother and drove back home for a day. Arriving in Laozhai, smelling the strong smell of medicine in the turret, and seeing the grandpa lying on the bed with bruises, the siblings couldn't help crying anymore, looking at the siblings who were crying dimly Two, Grandpa Kani couldn't help but shed tears quietly. He was blaming himself for being useless, he was injured even after taking medicine, and the family didn't have any savings. What will happen to the living expenses of the siblings in the future?
Life is always full of helplessness. The siblings who had no source of income bid farewell to school and returned to Laozhai. Although grandpa's legs gradually improved, he could no longer exert himself. The burden of life was all over. Carney can take care of the young siblings. The conditions at home are like this, and Carney can't help it. Cardi also pretends to be okay like her sister, but Carney can always watch when she is free When my younger brother quietly took a book and hid it in a place where no one was around to study. Every time she saw her brother working hard, Carney felt sad and wanted to cry. Afterwards, it was the most hopeful thing in Carney's heart.

Since then, every day after finishing her farm work, Ka Ni would go up the mountain alone to collect some medicinal materials, and prepare to go to the city to exchange money for her younger brother to study. What valuable medicinal materials?If you want to collect valuable medicinal materials, you can only go to those places in the forest that no one has been to.

Seeing that the new semester is about to start again, every time Kani sees her younger brother who pretends to be nonchalant and follows her to work in the field, she can't help shedding tears quietly. After thinking for a long time, Kani finally made up her mind , take the risk to stay in the old forest for a few days, find some valuable medicinal materials, and go to my brother to continue his school anyway.

Carney did not tell her younger brother and grandpa about her decision, but quietly prepared the things she needed to enter the old forest. The old forest is very dangerous. Bears, wild boars, wolves, anything can kill her, but Kani really had no other choice. After studying outside for a while, she saw the gap between the outside world and her old village. Kani didn't want her younger brother to stay in this old village for the rest of her life.

Before dawn, Carney left a note by the bed, telling her grandfather and younger brother that she had something to go to the city, then took the bag she had prepared, filled some sweet potatoes, and quietly left the house, walking for a few minutes At the next step, Kani looked back at the dilapidated turret of her home, tears streaming down her face again, silently praying in her heart to Nilo Aba (the mother of the earth of the Tujia) to bless her trip smoothly.

Not long after Kani left, Kadi also sneaked a bag on her back, and followed behind with a hatchet attached to her waist. Although little Kadi is only 11 years old, but what about her sister's abnormal behavior these days? Can you see it?When my sister was looking for those insect repellent medicines, little Caddy had already started to wonder. Until yesterday, when little Caddy found the bag her sister hid and saw the things in it that grandpa often brought when he went out to collect medicines, how could little Caddy still think about it? Couldn't understand her sister's plan, and secretly hated that she was too young to take care of her sister. Little Kadi also quietly prepared some things, and secretly paid attention to her sister's movements.

Kadi’s house is in a stilted building, the floor is all wood, and there is a lot of noise when walking on it. Although Kadi paid special attention to walking very lightly when she got up, she still gave the little Kadi who was secretly paying attention to it. Woke up with a start, Little Caddy knew that she was going to run to find her sister now, and she would definitely not get her consent, so Little Cardy waited until her sister went out, then hurriedly jumped up from the bed, got dressed, and ran quietly Going to my sister's room, I looked at the note left by my sister, and little Kadi quietly wrote a few words on the back, which meant that I was worried that my sister would go to the city alone and go with her Go, why do you say Dazhi?Because little Kadi can't write several characters, and uses pinyin, and I don't know if grandpa can understand it.

Putting the note in a conspicuous place, Kadi took her own things and quietly followed behind her sister, followed behind her, watching her walk towards the old forest where there was no one, the little guy couldn't bear it any longer She began to cry quietly, although she had already guessed in her heart, but seeing her sister really walking to the old forest alone, little Kadi couldn't bear it anymore, could it be that her sister went to the old forest without knowing her father? never came back?No, my sister knows, my sister is doing this for herself!

Kani's physical strength is very good. She didn't rest along the way. She went until noon, and then she found some dry wood and made a fire to roast two sweet potatoes. One is in the bag behind her, and she is eating while walking with one in her hand. She used to gather medicine with her grandfather, and Ka Ni also went to the edge of no man's land with her grandfather. I rushed there before dark, there was a cave there, and I could spend the night there. The note left by Kani with her grandfather and younger brother said that she would come back after going out for 4.5 days, so she only had a day or two to collect herbs. , so even if she was tired and wanted to rest, Kani held back, and just prayed hard in her heart that Nilo Aba would bless her to gain something.

Kadi hangs far behind her sister, as long as she doesn't lose her sister. Kani in front didn't take a break along the way, but Kadi who followed behind was exhausted. When she saw her sister stop After lighting a fire and roasting sweet potatoes, little Caddy couldn't bear to sit on the ground to rest anymore. No matter how small Caddy is, he is only 11 years old. Although the long-term labor has made the little guy much stronger than his peers, no matter how strong he is Cardi is only 11 years old.

Resisting the urge to set fire to roast sweet potatoes, Little Caddy didn't want to give up all her previous efforts. If her sister found out at this time, she would definitely be driven home. She took a sweet potato from her bag and wiped it on her body, and ate it like this. Little Caddy just finished eating a sweet potato, and Carney has already fetched water to put out the fire and is on the road.

When her sister was far away, little Caddy came to the fire that was extinguished by her sister. Looking at the fire with no sparks, little Caddy wanted to cry, but originally planned to wait for her sister to leave and quietly roast her Two sweet potatoes, don’t even think about it this time, I was a little disappointed, little Kadi told himself, hold on, wait until the evening, and then go to meet my sister, at that time my sister would not be able to drive me away up.
