Living in the mountains and forests as hunters

Chapter 69

Dabao felt that he was very unlucky, he just felt hungry, and Erbao's stomach started to sing, but his uncle and aunt never came back, let alone cooked, it was a waste of time for him to put away all the firewood, just waiting for his aunt to come back. It boiled directly.

A hungry child can't afford to wait, so he really can't help it. As an older brother, he has to be responsible not only for himself, but also for his younger brother. He can't let his younger brother go hungry. This is an act of responsibility.So Dabao took action, although the result seemed to be somewhat different from what he thought.

He really wanted to remind the two adults, so he walked a few steps into the passage. He was just anxious to call someone, so he didn't go in with a torch. How did he know that he was just walking in? It fell in a few steps!Could it be that I have eaten too much these days?Are you struggling to even walk?Dabao, who was crying, was thinking about this very serious question!

Why serious?God, don't you know that there are no fat hunters?Too fat is the food of beasts!He doesn't want to be eaten!
Dabao's crying didn't last long, even Erbao hadn't woken up from the question of why his elder brother was crying, so he stopped immediately, because An Dalang and Zhao Yiyi had already rushed over and saw that he was lying on the ground Weeping loudly on the ground, Dabao, who had lost one of his front teeth, these two people laughed out loud without sympathy, there was really no way not to laugh!Who made Dabao lose the middle upper front teeth!No matter how you look at it, it looks like an old man who has lost his teeth!

For these two adults who don't know how to comfort the children, Dabao became arrogant and turned his head away from them, so the crying naturally stopped, especially when he saw the door of the passage, looking around, and kept going The younger brother who was aiming at his own mouth had a strange expression on his face, as if it was such a strange thing to lose his front teeth. Dabao's heart was broken, and he felt that the world was suddenly gloomy. He is such a responsible and good brother. How embarrassing he was to receive such treatment!So he can only go back to his bed silently, mourn his missing teeth, cover up the embarrassment of crying just now, and look forward to someone coming to comfort him, isn't it because he secretly covered it with a quilt He squinted his head, peering through the cracks, to see if anyone else was laughing at his image, to see who was most sympathetic to him.

It's a pity that Dabao was disappointed, because at this time his aunt was preparing to cook, and his uncle was helping with the cooking, and his younger brother was there!It was burning a fire, and none of them looked at themselves!His heart was broken, piece by piece, and the tears began to fall again!How could they do this, how could they ignore themselves so much!
Dabao’s mourning and sadness didn’t last long, because after a while, the smell of rice in the pot began to rise. The most important thing was that he seemed to smell the smell of custard. Thinking about what his aunt said in the morning, it seems that there is still bacon stewed today Eggs, fried sour bamboo shoots with sausage left over from the Chinese New Year, and braised pork. My aunt said that my uncle has been working hard these few days, and the family needs to eat well.These dishes seem to have been brought out in the morning, so this must be the one I'm cooking right now, the more I think about it, the more I can't control Dabao's mouth, there is still time to cry!It was too late to drool, my eyes were all glued to the pot, I didn’t have time to see if others were looking at me, and by the way, all the awkwardness, embarrassment, and shyness in my heart disappeared, leaving only my stomach The greedy worm, and by the way, he found a step and a reason for himself.

Anyway, my uncle and aunt are back, and they are starting to cook too. It’s not the best thing to have a big meal!I was originally going to ask them to cook, didn't I!So I have actually reached my goal!Now that the goal has been achieved, why worry about so much!As for teeth?He's not a fool, he'll lose it when he grows up, and it's not like there are no such children in the village!I have seen a lot, but others don't seem to be doing much, right!With so many psychological constructions, Dabao felt that he didn't feel uncomfortable all of a sudden. He had something to eat, so what else could he care about? .

After dinner, Dabao and the others wanted to visit the cave, but unfortunately it was getting late and it was time to go to bed. Although it was spring, it was still very cold at this time. How could An Dalang let the two The children went to the place with strong ventilation, for fear that they would catch a cold, even the passages were blocked with cabinets, for fear that the cold wind would blow into their house.Even thinking about how to install a door!

The children's curiosity was not satisfied, so they could only sleep with their heads down. And An Dalang's spirit was not very uplifting, and he was a little lazy. This time, the adventure can only be called a tour, a little adventure How can it be called an adventure without any excitement!Anyway, there was nothing to gain, An Dalang lay on the bed at night with his eyes open but couldn't sleep!In my mind, I always think about the story of the hero who robs the rich and helps the poor mentioned in the story, and I always think about the hidden treasure that I thought in my bewilderment.It's not about being greedy for money, but about An Dalang's childhood dreams. When he was young, his family couldn't afford food, so he thought about what would happen if he found the hero's treasure. It's a pity that the reality we see now is really disappointing.

"Why aren't you sleeping?"

Zhao Yiyi turned over, just in time to hear An Dalang's heavy exhalation, knowing that he was not asleep yet, she was a little puzzled for a moment, couldn't help standing up, and looked in the direction of An Dalang fixedly, although she could only look at There was a shadow of a person, but this did not hinder them from talking, so they asked out very simply.

"It's okay, it's just strange, why is there nothing in this cave! When I heard my father tell the story, I also said that the hero suddenly disappeared or something, and some people said that the hero left a lot of treasures, and said This is because he wanted to save the common people, so he raised the flag and prepared it. I heard that there are several places in the vicinity where the hero's treasure may be hidden! Our place is obviously the place where he lived, and it should be the most Possibly a hidden treasure, but there's nothing there? It's so strange!"

What An Dalang said was a bit resentful, and Zhao Yiyi wanted to laugh when he heard it. He knew that An Dalang didn't really want to find the treasure, otherwise he wouldn't have spoken in this tone. To the lollipop tone.But a man is sometimes a child, she has heard this before, and naturally knows how to deal with it, although she is not a patient, caring, or motherly love person, but talk to him and let him relax always available.

"What's so strange about this? Didn't you find it? This cave is very clean, except for those immovable stones, there is nothing? Straw? Bedding? Food? Even if these things have passed a hundred years, if they were here Even if it turns into ashes and rots into mud, there will always be some traces, but have you seen it? No! What does this mean? It means that the people who lived here did not suddenly disappear, but moved away. Yes, he took all the things he could take away. Since he moved away calmly, where would there be any treasures left? Maybe he took all the things away!"

What Zhao Yiyi said was reasonable, and when he talked about the possibility that he thought of, An Dalang couldn't help nodding his head. He also knew this truth. He should know the truth when he saw the things in those houses. The older child is an ancestral hunter. He observes carefully and analyzes in detail. It belongs to his survival instinct. Does he know that this is just an abandoned place, but he feels a little lost for some reason, so he can't believe it all the time.

"You don't know, when I was young, I thought about finding the hero's property and inheriting the mantle of the hero. Hey, forget it, it's just a child's imagination after all. By the way, those houses are already there. We don’t need to dig this house, should we find a house for us to live in? But it’s very cold today, if we want to live in it, I’m afraid we will have to rebuild the heated kang again, which doesn’t seem to be very cost-effective. What do you think we can do? I just thought of digging a cave, and I found out such a secret. The most important thing is that I don’t want to move there! Do you think it’s weird?”

An Dalang was still staring at the ceiling of the cave, obviously unable to see anything clearly, but still maintained this posture, as if he was thinking about some big problem.But he began to talk about his own thoughts. Maybe only in such a place can he open his heart. He is no longer a big man who can't be troubled by anything and can be the master of everything, but a man who needs a wife. Accompanied, talked, and shared all the joys, sorrows and joys with her husband, Zhao Yiyi closed her eyes, silently feeling the warmth of each other, but there was still a little bit of meanness and reality on her mouth, and she said no stop,

"What's so strange about this? Didn't we agree to build a house in the yard? Since there is a tight house, we can live in it immediately, so we still need to live in this cave. Although the cave is warm in winter and cool in summer I think it is very good, but it is not a tight room! Even if someone comes, it looks like it. We are now like this. When we are alone, we feel that our life is difficult, but to be honest, how can I Do you think our family is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? We don’t seem to have any difficulties at all!"
