Chapter 16 The Stick Here is a plus for registration
Wu Lao Ghost is this virtue, and if he has nothing to say, he has to find words to highlight his sense of existence, but Brother Chengxin, who has always been gentle and calm, seems to be not dealing with Wu Lao Ghost, in short, Wu Lao Ghost is, Brother Cheng Xin can't hold back, and said: "Can you still be cold?" Can you be tired of floating? Come on, you don't know how to go to the jar to rest? Can I suffocate you if I don't speak? ”
Old Ghost Wu glanced at Brother Chengxin with a very calm look, too lazy to care about you, pretended to pull its flower suit that was actually untouchable, helped its sunglasses, and 'hummed' at Brother Chengxin, and then floated back into the jar, and then, the voice of Old Ghost Wu came from the jar: "Who has not died since ancient times, it is not good to say, who dares to say that he can not be a ghost in the future?" No, you can't! Can you be cold? Can you get tired? Hmph, dare to look down on ghosts. ”
Brother Chengxin's smile stiffened, and he threw the small jar to me, and then came: "Stay away from me (stay away from me, get out)." ”
I took the jar, stuffed it into my bag, and said, "Don't talk nonsense with me, I don't have such a good temper, and the offering doesn't work on me." ”
Sure enough, the jar was quiet, I pulled Ruxue, patted Brother Chengxin's shoulder with a smile, and said, "Actually, it's not bad to quarrel, at least you see how fast your Northeast dialect is improving?" ”
Brother Chengxin snorted a few words without smiling, and didn't bother to say more, turned around and went on the road, probably choking on the anger of this old ghost.
After all, Lao Zhang doesn't talk much, after adapting to it, these things don't shy away from him, imagine being dreamed of for so many years, he should be able to know that there are ordinary people in this world who don't know, and deliberately avoiding taboos is not honest.
I thought that Lao Zhang was the same as usual this time, when he didn't see it, but in fact, he frowned slightly and opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all, but I saw it in my eyes.
He didn't mention it, I didn't mention it, just held Ruxue's hand and hurried, I and Ruxue have known each other for so many years, and have been restraining each other, only to find out when we got closer, it turns out that feelings are a seed, as long as the environment is suitable, no matter how restrained, it still grows crazy, just like a summer vine, you shake the god, it can already climb the entire wall, just like these days, I and Ruxue are clear and intimate and ambiguous, but they don't want to say anything about each other.
Holding her hand, at first I just felt sorry for her, and I also felt that men should take care of women, just holding hands like this, and after a few minutes of driving, my heart began to beat again, although I kept telling myself that this was not an ambiguous and intimate action, but the feelings rushed to my brain from the bottom of my heart, and then I was hot, and then my body was also hot, and my palms were oozing fine and dense sweat.
As if sensing something, Ruxue calmly withdrew her hand from my hand and said, "It's good if you help me carry the package, I can do it, no, I'll speak." ”
When she said this, she still had that light expression, but I clearly saw a trace of sadness in her eyes, women are always more sensitive and slender than men, I can think that getting along is happy, and my feelings are surging, and I don't bother to think about it so much, no matter what it is, it is bound, but it is not good in the end, since there is no result, since it has been 'extravagant' for half a year, why bother? We can only keep one boundary to get along, just like people standing on opposite sides of a cliff looking at each other from a distance, so close, but separated by a moat.
I felt gloomy in my heart, trying not to think about it, but the atmosphere had become awkward, Brother Chengxin, who knew all this, wanted to adjust it, but he was helpless but couldn't do it, and he also fell into a kind of sadness, did he think of Shen Xing again? A promise for the next life!
Lao Zhang is a man of few words, or he doesn't want to pay attention to the minds of a few of us young people, after all, he has experienced most of his life, and he has already looked down on a lot of things, he just took us on the road with his head bored.
Occasionally, he said: "There is a small road up the mountain, and it is easy to walk, after all, it is a road, this day is easy, work hard, I will get you some game to eat a hot meal in the evening." ”
Climbing up in this cold weather, Lao Zhang's words undoubtedly injected us with a shot in the arm, thinking about hot water, warm fires, and hot meals, and even walking is more energetic at the moment.
We set off at 9 o'clock in the morning, and it was not until 6 o'clock in the afternoon that it was already dark, and we arrived at the place that the eldest brother and son had mentioned, and we saw a small wooden house on stilts standing there in the distance, which was naturally far different from the shack of the night vigil in the fields of Sichuan that I imagined.
After entering the house, with the help of a flashlight, the old man raised the fire pit, then found two oil lamps, found an oil pot in the corner of the house, added oil, and lit the oil lamp.
After doing this, the room had become bright and warm, and I saw that the little cabin was much better than I had imagined, and there was a large wooden bed on the side of the wall, and the wooden bed was covered with unknown animal skins, which seemed to be sewn together from scraps, and I looked closely, as if it were rabbit skin spore skin or something.
There was a large table by the window, and there were bits and pieces on the table, and I saw some spices or something.
The authentic house is a fire pit, and there is a large cauldron hanging on the fire pit, in short, the basic daily necessities, which can be dealt with here.
Lao Zhang took out some tobacco, lit the dry tobacco next to the fire pit, took two sips, and then asked me and Brother Chengxin if we wanted to have some? Brother Chengxin and I can't smoke dry tobacco, although this smell makes me feel very kind, and Master also smokes this.
"I don't smoke at home, the old woman has to chatter, but this time I go into the mountains, I can't help it. Speaking of which, this Orion is the most considerate of Orion, this hut in the mountains, sheltering from the cold, drinking hot water, preparing some spices, sometimes can save a person's life. Therefore, these things are always stocked in this kind of shack, and whoever uses them will make up for it the next time they enter the mountain, and if they can't make up for it, they will leave some money and things, which is a meaning. I'll rest here for a while, and I'll get two snow hare to eat. Lao Zhang smoked a dry cigarette and spoke to us.
Brother Chengxin is a foodie, and he couldn't help but say: "Lao Zhang, I heard that the grouse in this old forest is delicious, how to hunt rabbits at night?" Can you get a grouse? ”
Lao Zhang said with a smile: "In this place, there are the most snow rabbits, who told these rabbits to give birth?" Grouse or something, it's rare in the periphery of this mountain, it depends on luck, and when it comes to this later, Lao Zhang's face has some unnatural expressions, and then he said: "In the future, it's going deeper, many animals, you can all have luck to see, as for how to catch rabbits at night, I must have a way, you just wait." ”
After saying this, Lao Zhang stared at us a little nervously, I just thought about it a little, and I understood Lao Zhang's thoughts, and when I saw Brother Chengxin and Ruxue, they naturally understood that their thoughts were more lively than mine.
I can't deny anything, thinking about Lao Zhang's appearance on the road, I think Lao Zhang has something to ask us tonight, so he didn't say anything, let's talk to Lao Zhang in the evening, I think at least we can't force others to be a person and do things.
Sure enough, seeing that we didn't say anything, Lao Zhang was a little more unnatural, and he looked a little worried on his face, but he didn't say anything in the end, and went out with a shotgun on his back and his bag of things.
I insisted on going with Lao Zhang, mainly because I felt that I was not too tired, and I was also very curious about how Lao Zhang played rabbits, so I kept up, thanks to the good foundation that Master laid for me since I was a child, I want to learn from Lao Zhang, maybe I want to live in the mountains in the future? and not starve.
Lao Zhang hesitated for a moment and said, "Cheng, anyway, there are no powerful guys on the periphery, there is no danger, you can just follow." ”
Ruxue climbed onto the big wooden bed, curled up and slept in the warm firelight, as for Brother Chengxin, he took out a medical book that looked a little old and read it, they were not interested in going with him, so I followed Lao Zhang.
Walking silently all the way, before I came back to my senses, I had already approached the forest at night from the path.
In the forest at night, with a flashlight, Lao Zhang walked in front and said to me: "Follow my steps, so as not to step into the snow nest." ”
I was about to ask what the snow nest was, when I suddenly heard a loud chirp, followed by the sound of 'fluttering', and I was startled when I saw a large shadow passing not far above my head, and then I looked closely, and a huge strange bird stopped on a low tree not far from there.
I didn't recognize what kind of bird it was, and before I could say anything, Lao Zhang's eagerness and caution said: "Don't make a sound, be careful, this is the 'stick' here." ”
Stick, what's that?
