CHAPTER XVIII. Seven Years Later 2
I remembered when I went to school this morning, my mother told me that I would eat roasted yellow eel at night, and there was indeed a small half bucket of yellow eel at home, and I knew that my father went to catch it at night. (The fastest update speed, remember this site to find this site)
Burnt yellow eel, when I think of this dish, I think of my dad making yellow eel, the live yellow eel catches it, stuns it with a 'pop', and then presses it on the wooden board dedicated to processing yellow eel, 'bang' a knife and pull, and then scrape, and the fresh yellow eel is processed.
Then cut it into eel segments, wash it and prepare it, then boil the hot oil in the pot, pour the eel segment into it with a 'snort', stir-fry, and the fragrance will come out, and then add watercress
Thinking, thinking, my saliva is about to flow out.
Seeing that my mind was moved, the crispy meat urged me next to me: "Sanwa'er, let's go, let's go back, it's a big deal for you to go to my house, my family will eat 'roasted white' (similar to plum cabbage button meat) tonight, and then I called my mother to help you intercede, and you can't go home for the rest of your life." ”
As soon as I heard the word pleading, I was embarrassed again, if my dad was the kind of person who could listen to pleading, would I be beaten so much? I think before, my dad beat me, I howled was a miserable, passing by the village people couldn't help but come to persuade, hey, okay, my dad took other people's persuasion as a cheer, the more he beaten, the more energetic.
With narration: "Male babies can't be beaten without success, unlike female babies!" If the boy doesn't care, he can 'knock on the sand can and eat peanuts' (shot) in the future. ”
In the end, my fear of my dad overwhelmed my desire to burn yellow eels, and the spirit of the Red Army to climb the snowy mountains and cross the grassland also inspired me, I had long longed for me to be a little soldier, and I also wanted to go over the snowy mountains, cross the grassland, and find a place to be a Red Army.
The Red Army is a good person, can you not take me in when you see me as a little baby? What's wrong with not going home for the rest of your life? As long as the Red Army takes me in!
Thinking of this, I was excited and determined, I patted Crispy Meat's shoulder, and said righteously: "You go back, Crispy Meat, when I become a Red Army, I will come to you to be a Red Army together, I must not forget you." ”
"You're going to be in the Red Army?" Crispy Meat was suddenly confused by my headless words.
"Well, I'm going to be beaten when I go back anyway, it's better for me to go to the Red Army today, and if I find them, they will definitely take me in, you just wait for me, and you must not tell my old man." I solemnly commanded.
"But where are you going to find the Red Army?" Crispy Meat was a little uneasy, and he was indeed curious about where the Red Army would be.
"I heard that there is one in the town, I'll just go to the town, you can rest assured." In fact, I mistook the police for the Red Army at that time, but at that time, when I was young, where could I distinguish between them?
"Okay, I'll wait for your news, I will never betray you, and when you become a Red Army, remember to take me with you." Crispy Meat was also quite eager to be a Red Army, but he didn't make a mistake, and he didn't dare not go home if he was given ten dares.
He thought that as long as I came to the door with the Red Army, his parents would agree to let him join the Red Army, and he was looking forward to my good news.
So, he forgot to ask me, do you know how to get around town?
So, I forgot to think about this question, how to get around town?
After walking for a while, I found the problem, and looked up to see that in addition to the fields, there were endless mountains, where was the shadow of a town? Where should I go in this town?
After the sun set, the sky darkened very quickly, and at this time, a crescent moon had quietly climbed into the sky, and the sky was a blue-black that would be black but not black.
It was quiet all around, except for the chirping of insects and frogs, and I found that I couldn't hold it anymore.
Go home? The thought came to my mind, I thought of my sister, I thought of my mother, I wanted a steaming dinner
But as soon as I thought of my father's 'invincible' iron fist, I gave up this idea again.
"Phew, Chen Chengyi, bitter or not, think about the Red Army 25,000!" I motivate myself by talking to myself, and at the mention of those heroic Red Army soldiers, my blood boils.
After walking for a while, even I didn't know where I was going, and I finally couldn't hold it anymore because I was hungry and tired, so I sat down on the ground and began to 'plan'.
My mother was afraid that I would get lost, and often taught me not to be afraid that there was no road, there was a road under my nose, which meant that I could not find the way to ask more, now that it was dark, I didn't know where to ask for directions, I decided to ask others tomorrow at dawn to go to the town.
As for being hungry, I looked around, but I also had an idea, this season, there are still a lot of buds (corn) confiscated in the field, and I have a foreign fire on my body, so it is no problem to roast two buds and eat them.
So that's just one question, where should I stay tonight? I pondered this question for a long time and didn't come up with a solution, so I simply didn't think about it, and I filled my stomach anyway.
"Sanwa'er, you have bean dregs in your skull, right? Why don't you want to do things all day long? "My mother often scolded me like this, and my heartlessness was obvious.
The bud valley was everywhere, and now that I had decided on my goal, I went in, and when I came out in a short time, my yellow canvas bag was full of bulging bags, and jokingly, I picked three very large buds for myself.
This kind of thing is too common for me who grew up in the countryside, and I didn't steal bud valley when I was a child, so I was embarrassed to say that I was from xx village.
Steal the bud valley, the rest is to find a bamboo forest, dry bamboo leaves are excellent firewood, Sichuan bamboo forest, by the moonlight I wandered around for a while, I found a bamboo forest, happily ran in.
At that time, I didn't notice at all, not far from the bamboo forest, there was a cemetery, but even if I found it, I probably wouldn't be afraid, the countryside is full of graves, and I have seen too much, and I have long been numb.
As soon as I entered the bamboo forest, I was busy myself, first tearing off the outer skin of the bud valley, leaving a thin layer, and then gathering a bunch of dead bamboo leaves and burying the bud valley underneath.
Withered bamboo leaves are extremely flammable, and within a few moments, a fire rises in the bamboo forest.
At this time, all my thoughts are on the three bud valleys, preoccupied with guarding, adding bamboo leaves from time to time, this bamboo forest is very large, and it is estimated that no one will see the fire in it, but I don't want to be seen by anyone.
Time passed minute by minute, and I don't know how long it took, my stewed bud grain was finally cooked, I happily pulled the stewed bud out of the fire, tore the rest of the skin, and ate it in a big gulp.
The stewed bud valley is very fragrant, I am very happy to eat, while eating and sighing, today's stewed bud grain is ripe really fast, you must know that the stewed bud valley is not better than the roasted bud grain, to eat the stewed good, it is a long time to wait. In the past, in the village, I stewed the bud valley with other little dolls in the village, and often waited for an afternoon, but I didn't expect that today I felt that it didn't take long to cook.
Actually, I waited for almost 2 hours, but I waited intently, not noticing the passage of time, and I didn't know that it was close to night.
Staying by the fire, after eating three big buds, my stomach was finally full, I felt like I had been tired for a long time, and a lethargic tiredness hit my whole body, and I wanted to sleep.
Rural children know that it is extremely dangerous to start a fire in the bamboo forest, and after I yawned and stepped on the fire, I could no longer control the fatigue that came, so I threw my yellow satchel to the ground, and then the whole person pillowed the yellow satchel and fell asleep in a daze.
I don't remember how long I slept that night, but I just remember that after I had some bizarre dreams, I couldn't bear the chill from my body anymore and woke up from the cold.
Subconsciously touched a handful of clothes, I found that the clothes were very damp, I wanted to sleep in a different place, and I felt that my whole body had no strength, I was still very sleepy, I couldn't tell what it felt, I felt that I was confused, as if awake but not awake.
I wanted to close my eyes and go back to sleep, but suddenly I found that there were many sounds not far around me, which seemed to be very lively, but I couldn't figure out where the excitement came from.
