The official road of the farmer

In the lush and hidden grass, a bright color is looming.

Ye Junshu's eyes were clear, it really was a pheasant!

It's a pity that he didn't have any weapons at hand, and it was very difficult to catch this fat pheasant.Fortunately, Ye Junshu himself did not report much hope for this. It is a good thing to be caught, and there is no loss.

What's more, what he thought was that the pheasant's nest was obviously nearby, so he could look for it, maybe he could find pheasant eggs.

But such an eye-catching living creature dangled in front of his eyes, and he would be too sorry not to try his luck, so Ye Junshu looked down for a weapon, and then picked up a fist-sized stone a few steps away from his feet.

Ye Junshu weighed it, it was just right, and it could cause a certain amount of damage.

He held his breath and walked over lightly, but this wild animal was very vigilant, and it only got a little closer. It seemed to sense something was wrong, raised its head and looked around, and walked back and forth a few times uneasy.

Ye Junshu weighed it, this distance is also acceptable, so he aimed at the direction and threw the stone hard.His aim was good, and he hit the pheasant, but not with enough force to kill it.

The huge pheasant clucked and screamed, flapped its wings and fled quickly. Seeing that it was injured, Ye Junshu didn't run fast, so he hurriedly chased it.

When the pheasants escaped, they didn’t have to detour. When encountering dense grass and branches, they went straight through. Ye Junshu had to cross obstacles to chase him. He was blocked from time to time, but he didn’t catch up. It was almost invisible, at this moment, a wooden arrow whizzed past and hit the pheasant accurately.

With an unwilling cry, the pheasant struggled a few times, swallowed its last breath, and then stopped moving.

Ye Junshu looked up, and saw that the luxuriant vegetation and branches were pushed aside, and a tall and strong man came out.

The visitor was dressed in a short suit, with a knife pinned to his waist, a quiver slung over his shoulder, and a curved bow in his hand. His skin was dark, with the roughness of a peasant family, his facial features were unremarkable, but a pair of dark eyes were extremely sharp.

This person is the only hunter in the village. His surname is Li. He came here alone more than ten years ago, and he is still alone in his 30s. Sell ​​half-free to the villagers, cannibalism, and the villagers are not easy to gossip about him.

"Uncle Li?" Ye Junshu straightened up, "Why are you here?" As soon as he asked, Ye Junshu felt annoyed that he had asked an idiot question. Uncle Li made a living by hunting, and he must have come to hunt when he went into the mountains, otherwise he would still be there. What's up?He could smell a bloody smell from a distance, and it was obvious that he had gained a lot.

Ye Junshu looked down and saw that not far behind Uncle Li was a pile of prey, including hares, pheasants, and even roe deer. It was obvious that he found a situation on his side, so he threw a bunch of prey over, and then shot the arrow.

Uncle Li walked up to Ye Junshu, looked down at him a few times, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Ye Junshu replied calmly: "I'm here to find out if there is anything to eat." No one in the village knows the current situation of his family, and there is nothing to avoid.

Sure enough, Uncle Li stopped asking, looked down at his back basket, and said, "Don't go into the mountains alone." Then he bent down and picked up the pheasant that had just been shot dead by an arrow.

"I see, Uncle Li." Ye Junshu didn't dodge, and responded honestly. He knew that Uncle Li was worried that he would be in danger alone.I don't have any opinion on Uncle Li's behavior of taking that pheasant as his own.Although he was the one who discovered it first, if it wasn't for Uncle Li, the pheasant would have escaped long ago, and he would never have gotten it.

However, watching Uncle Li pick up the pile of prey and hang it all over his body, Ye Junshu was a little entangled. He didn't know whether he should help to get some. What if he was misunderstood and wanted to ask for it?Ye Junshu looked at his little arms and legs, and at Uncle Li who walked like flying despite being covered with prey. He sighed dejectedly. Forget it, he felt heavy even when he was carrying a basket. It's better to be a little self-aware.

Ye Junshu followed Uncle Li down the mountain, barely keeping up with the footsteps, and he thought leisurely, Uncle Li has practiced this, right?It looks so powerful, I don't know if he will agree to Uncle Li's hunting skills if he asks him...

It seems a bit unrealistic to set up traps alone. Hey, I wonder if there is any legendary martial arts here. It would be great if he could learn it. Practice some boxing skills, not to mention that his body will be stronger, at least it will be more secure.

Uncle Li has been drilling deep into the mountains for more than ten years. Not only does he know this mountain forest well, but he is also familiar with it like his own backyard. He didn't follow the route marked by Ye Junshu, but took a shortcut by himself. It didn't feel like he had walked for long. , the field of vision in front of you is widened, overlooking the past, you can also see the panorama of the village.

At this time, the sun is setting, and the sunset is gorgeous, rendering the whole village a layer of warm colors. The houses hidden in the branches reveal a simple and profound corner, and the streams like silver gauze meander in the countryside. Smoke billows from people's roofs.The scenery that greets the eyes is magnificent, like a landscape painting.

Ye Junshu's eyes were astonished. If he wasn't in a hurry, he really wanted to stop and take a good look.And Uncle Li didn't look strange at all, he was obviously used to such a beautiful scenery for a long time, it seemed that he was a little fussed.

They soon went down to the fork in the foot of the mountain, and it was time to say goodbye. Uncle Li's house was far from the village, standing alone at the foot of the mountain. Although Ye Junshu's house was close to the mountain, his was on the edge of the village.

Just as Ye Junshu was about to say goodbye, a lump of brightly colored and heavy objects was stuffed into his hand, Ye Junshu: "????"

When he saw what was in his hand, Ye Junshu blushed suddenly, and hurriedly wanted to retreat, "Uncle Li, this is your prey, I can't take it!"

Uncle Li was not ready to pick it up, so he threw out two words: "Take it."

Ye Junshu was still refusing: "Uncle Li, you know my family's situation. Our family can't get meaty at the moment, and it's useless if you want to come. You'd better take it back!" I have helped him so much for a while, if I can catch it, I will take it back to eat meat for Ming's family, not for my own family.

His family has a double emphasis on filial piety. Although the countryside is not as particular as that of the big families, the rules of not eating meat, entertainment and drinking within a year are still to be observed. Only after three years of filial piety can the filial piety be completely eliminated, but basically the second and third in the countryside There are not so many restrictions in the new year, at least it is okay to be a little bit meaty, and of course, you can't tell others that you eat meat in a big way.

It was three months since Ah Mu passed away, and it was less than one month for Ah’s father. Their family would not eat meat for at least a year. If they were not children, they would have been able to eat meat for three full years.

"I'll deal with it myself." Uncle Li lifted his foot and walked towards another side road. After walking a few steps, he turned his head and said, "If you want to go into the mountain in the future, just let me know, and I will take you." After a pause, He continued, "If something happens to you, your family will be gone." After finishing speaking, Uncle Li didn't care about Ye Junshu's reaction, turned around and left.

Ye Junshu was shocked, yes, if something happened to him, his eldest brother was only eight years old, how could he support the family?

Even if he was lucky enough not to encounter any danger when entering the mountain this time, even the villagers dare not go deep into the forest alone, and hidden dangers are everywhere. How can he guarantee that he is so lucky every time?

He still thinks too simply, it's not that easy to survive on the mountain.

The road is blocked. Although he is not afraid of getting hurt, he can't go up the mountain easily until he is absolutely safe. He is not afraid of anything, but if he is a little careless, it will be a fatal blow to this family. He is the leader of this family. The pillar of the foundation, there can be no mistakes.

But everything has high risk and high reward...

No, he can't risk himself, he will always find a way...

Ye Junshu frowned, and walked home preoccupied.

When he reached the door, he heard the sound of children playing inside. Ye Junshu was instantly refreshed, full of strength, and pushed the door open with his head held high.

In the yard, Ye Junzhi was teasing Brother Qin to chase him back and forth. Geer Lu sat on a small stool next to Ming Amu, concentrating on the Na shoes that Ming Amu was familiar with.And Xiaoshan, with a serious face, guarded the twins, and when he saw who was about to climb the range of the mat, he dialed back and turned the direction to let him continue to climb.The whole yard is full of fun.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Brother Lu reacted the fastest and rushed over quickly, his eyes sparkling, "Brother! You are back!"

Ye Junzhi also saw Ye Junshu who came in through the door, turned around and picked up Brother Qin and ran over, "Brother Zizhou, you are back! Is it fun in the mountains? Next time, I will bring it... ouch!" Ye Jun Before he finished chanting, Ming'am knocked on a knuckle, "Go, go, brother Zhou has business to do in the mountains, what are you doing?" Then he asked Ye Junshu gently, "Boy Zhou, come back!" That's good, nothing happened in the mountains, right?"

Xiao Shan also wanted to go there, but the twins seemed to see the excitement there and kept wanting to climb there, so Xiao Shan had to squat down and hug the two restless little ones, but kept looking at Ye Junshu, his eyes were also shining.

Ye Junshu patted the heads of the children one by one, while answering Ming's words, "I didn't encounter anything on the mountain. I saw Uncle Li on the way, so we left together. By the way, Uncle Li gave me a pheasant, and the boy gave me a pheasant." Borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, I gave it to you, Aunt Ming, I hope you don’t dislike it.” Ye Junshu said, taking out the pheasant stuffed into the basket.

After leaving it for a while, the wild vegetables in his basket were all crushed to death.

"You child, Brother Li said I want it for you? Send it back quickly!" Ming's face was full of disapproval. He wouldn't say anything if Zhou Boy's family could only eat it, but how could he ask? Come to him?

Ye Junshu firmly pushed over, and forced Aunt Ming to accept it, "Uncle Li insisted on giving it to him, even if I took it back, he wouldn't take it back, Aunt Ming, you can accept it, or you will only rot here , What a waste! Besides, I also have a part to help with this pheasant." Well, it can be regarded as a help, after all, he discovered it first, so he is not lying...

"If Ah Mu insists on refusing to ask for it, then next time, I won't dare to ask you for help again!"

Ming Amu listened, thought for a while, and didn't refuse any more. He mentioned the pheasant and patted Ye Junshu's shoulder, "Then I'll accept it this time, but I can't do that next time."

Ye Junshu smiled, but didn't say yes or no.

Ming Amu packed up her needle and thread, "Then I'll go home first, I've already cooked for you in the kitchen, I picked two cabbages and put them on your kitchen table, by the way, Ming Amu will steam steamed buns tomorrow, so you don't need to cook breakfast Meal, I will deliver it tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Ye Junshu nodded. He knew that if he refused, Ming'am probably wouldn't accept the wild things, so he agreed very neatly.

Now that he accepted it, Ah Mu had to go back to deal with it quickly. He quickly picked up the basket and greeted Ye Junzhi to go home.

Ye Junzhi was having fun, so naturally he didn't want to go home so early.Aunt Ming ignored him and went back by himself.
