Poor family mother and son

Chapter 285 "Escape from the world"

Xiaobao has changed into the excited and childish smiling face just now: "Mother, your archery skills have improved again!"

Chu Qing suppressed his surprise at the quick change of Xiao Bao's face, and pretended to be angry: "I won't beat you up! It's so dangerous and you still come here to scream!"

The wild boars in the distance had already been dealt with by the boys, some were lying on the ground howling, and some were simply dead and motionless.

The injured people were counted. Except for two workers whose fangs pierced their backs and calves and left a lot of blood, the rest were scratches and injuries from running and falling, which were not serious.

41 wild boars, the scale is not small.The biggest one was the one that Zhuo Yao and the others hunted, weighing more than five hundred catties.

The smallest weighs more than two hundred catties.

An experienced worker among the workers said, "It's probably because the bandits let them hide for a few days. They didn't have enough to eat, and they came down the mountain to look for something to eat in this season of shortage of crops."

Some people also said: "These we cut down are all oak trees, as are those on the hillside. Wild boars like to eat acorns. It is because the acorns on the ground can't be found that they can't find them, so they hurt people."

Acorns are rich in starch and are good food for wild boars to fatten up in winter.

It used to be that there were always many acorns on the ground here, and the villagers at the foot of the mountain also used them to satisfy their hunger.Wild boars can't find food on the mountain, so they will come here for "tooth-beating sacrifice", and some wild boars will not enter the village to attack people if they eat.

But this year the bandits in the mountains did not dare to come out, so they could only hunt in the mountains. They harassed the wild boars very much, and they were frightened by the officers and soldiers for a long time. The wild boars were so hungry this winter.

After finally running to the bottom of the mountain to find some acorns, I found that there were many people down the mountain, but the trees were gone, and the acorns had been dug into the soil and could not be found.

Otherwise, it is necessary to pay attention to "returning farmland to forest" in modern times, and the ecological environment really needs to be protected.

Chu Qing kept the two pigs killed by Gan Lai and Xiao Bao, and distributed the rest to the workers for "additional meals" and "relieving hatred".

Everyone happily ate the small crispy meat, but in a blink of an eye they complained about Gan.

Huang Zhong was the first to bear the brunt: "Gan Lai girl, next time you should use vegetables to pat the pork. Look, the meat is full of broken bones and scum, and the old man's teeth are cracked!"

Little Treasure spit out the bones with a "puff puff", and comforted him: "Grandpa Huang, take a small bite, treat it like eating melon seeds, and just spit out the skin after taking a bite."

With a smile, Master Lu only put his chopsticks on the braised pork in the pot. The braised pork was so soft that when he put it into his mouth, he just pressed it with his tongue and squeezed it, and the broken bones were squeezed out.

Master Lu was the happiest today. As soon as he arrived, there was wild boar to eat, and then he collected all the manes of 41 wild boars.

Chu Qing wanted to ask him to make a bristle brush, with thinner hair, to replace the comb for combing hair, but the old man refused: "That's not okay, this wild boar bristle is a good thing, your head is not worthy of it!"

One sentence made Chu Yuan laugh out loud.

Master Lu said that this wild boar bristle has many uses, especially for making various brushes, oiling the cracks of agricultural tools to prevent rust, polishing and coating wood, all of which are the best things.

It is also very regrettable that Chu Qing didn't get all the wild boar's tusks back: "As we are getting older, we all like to get some wild boar's teeth, wolf teeth and so on."

Huang Zhong snorted and said, "Hmph, that means you don't have a doctor here, not to mention the wild boar skin, you have to get back the wild boar gall."

Xiaobao ran out, and when he came back, he was holding a bunch of spikes: "Here! Two grandpas share!"

Gan Lai also ran out, and when he came back, he was holding a rag with a pile of wild boar tusks and blood still hanging on it: "Leave a pair for me to make bracelets, and share the rest with you!"

The two old men looked at each other: "These two children..."

The wolf tooth was the wolf that Chu Qing shot when he first went to the country of Voss. The local old man helped to deal with it properly, and even drilled holes for it. It was well preserved.

Huang Zhong pawed at the wild boar's tusks: "They left all the upper teeth?"

Gan Lai nodded: "Well, they said it wasn't that they were reluctant to give it to me, but they couldn't give it to me. They said they would save it for sacrifices and pray for rain."

Chu Qing was very confused, offering sacrifices to pray for rain?Then why only keep the upper teeth, not all of them?
Huang Zhong said that in some areas, the sacrificial etiquette of the early days is preserved, the upper teeth represent the sky, and the lower teeth represent the earth, so when you want to ask God for help, you will use the upper teeth as offerings.

It is true that life is full of knowledge, Chu Qing and Xiaobao were fascinated by it.

Master Lu compared Gan Lai's wrists, picked out a pair of tusks of suitable size, and said, "I'll get some silver later, uncle, and I'll make you a beautiful bracelet!"

The two old men each picked a wolf tooth and a pig tooth, and they were not satisfied, and let Xiao Bao and the others put away the rest, saying: "When people are old, their yang energy will be insufficient, and their courage will also be small. Keep this thing to avoid evil spirits."

Chu Qing was curious about Gan Lai's aesthetics.

Gan Lai never wore jewelry, and Chu Qing gave her a big box of head jewelry, which she threw to Chu Yuan to keep it.How convenient it is to wear clothes, even more than Chu Qing doesn't care about his image.

The beautiful clothes made by Huang Rong and Mu Nianci were pressed into pancakes at the bottom of the box and they were not worn. They were so angry that they refused to make them for her.

This time it was a novelty, and he offered to ask for a bracelet.

Could it be that this wild girl appreciates wild beauty?

Chu Yuan immediately grabbed Master Lu: "Uncle, get me one too, I want the same one as her!"

This "Uncle" yelled, tossing and turning, which disgusted Master Lu so much that he picked up the sole of his shoe to beat him.

The joyful reunion is always short-lived, three days later, Xiaobao will be on the road.

Chu Qing had a thousand worries and 1 reluctances but failed to keep Xiao Bao, Xiao Bao said: "Mother, I have to go to various colleges to see, I am the boss."

Xiaobao's attitude was firm, so Chu Qing didn't say any more, this kid must have his own ideas, so just go if he wants to.

The bandits have been dealt with, Xiaobao brought Xiao Sining and other [-] boys with him, as well as Chu Yuan and Gan Lai to protect him, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

The little eagle was also taken away, and Xiaobao said that he would send a little eagle back to report to each place he went, so that Chu Qing could rest assured.

It is said that a child is a kite in the hands of its mother. No matter how high or far it flies, the string of the kite is always held by the mother, but Chu Qing feels that Xiaobao is not a kite, but also a kite.

Huang Zhong was really worried about Xiaobao, and insisted that Xiaobao wait for him to go to the toilet before setting off: "What's the matter? Before I leave, you won't wait for me?"

Little BMW supported Huang Zhong and left.

Toilets are always in the most remote places.In the latrine, Huang Zhong closed the wooden door, took out a note from his pocket and gave it to Xiaobao:
"You child, although the old man doesn't know what your plan is, I think it's for your mother's benefit. If you don't tell me, the old man won't ask, but you keep it safe;
This is an old friend of the old man, who lives away from the world, this is the address;

He owes the old man a favor, and the old man has never repaid it with him. If you need it, you can ask him for help. "

He also took out a small wooden sign made of unknown type of wood and gave it to Xiaobao, because of the age, the wooden sign had been covered with pulp, the color was black and shiny, and it faintly looked like black jade.

The word "Mian" is engraved on it.

Huang Zhong watched Xiaobao put it away solemnly, and said, "Don't tell anyone about it. I don't know if there are any around your mother... well, you just know and I know."

Xiaobao thought about it, didn't ask, just thanked Grandpa Huang deeply, and set off on the road.

Grandpa Huang wondered what was around his mother?have eyes?Whose eyes?

There should be, it's nothing more than secret investigators and the emperor.

My mother said, don't be afraid of them setting nails, love whoever you want.

But Grandpa Huang is more scrupulous, that means two things, either he is worried about his mother, or he is worried about the old man who "lives away from the world".

"Live away from the world", there is nothing to do, who would hide from the world?
