Early the next morning, Grandma Du sent Ya'er's eldest brother, Du Haoyu, with a few catties of dried fruit and a catty of toffee to Uncle Ya'er and the others.When he came back, Du Haoyu was followed by two big tails, the big brother Du Wenhao, and the little cousin Du Wenbo also followed.The two of them heard from their elder brother Haoyu that Ya'er brought a lot of comic books from the county yesterday, and they didn't even have time for breakfast, so they came here together.Anyway, they will definitely not be hungry here with grandparents, and there may be delicious food.No, Grandma Du saw that the other two good grandchildren had also come, and hurriedly took out four more eggs from the pot and boiled them in the pot.

The two cousins ​​were in Ya'er's house, seeing so many comic books on the table, they wished they could stuff them all into their schoolbags and take them home to read slowly.But it was stopped by my uncle Du Jianshe, and if they were asked to bring a bag of comic books to school, they would not have to attend class today. To the children in the village, the charm of comic books is more than that of attending classes. many.

"If you don't listen to my little uncle, next time I won't find you a comic book, and I won't show you any of these. Hmph, I'll tell grandpa that you don't listen well to class," Ya'er said. Seeing that my uncle would soon be unable to get a few playful monkeys, I had no choice but to support my uncle.

"Good Ya'er, let's stop making trouble. We'll watch it after school, and I'll definitely find some for us next time." When the brothers heard Ya'er's threat, they were all scared.They may not be afraid of uncle, but they are afraid of Ya'er, if they offend Ya'er, there will be no good fruit to eat.

"Well, if you all listen to the teachers' lectures and finish your homework carefully, I will let you read it. If anyone is praised by the teacher, I will ask my little uncle to give him a little book. Those little friends in the village It's the same, tell them when school is over, I found all these comic books, and I have the final say," Ya'er raised her chin and said proudly.Ya'er knew that the children in the village were not very interested in going to school sometimes, so he wanted to find a way to motivate them. [

The four brothers said so when they saw Ya'er, and they also knew that these comic books would not be read in school today.But there is also a consolation prize. There are a lot of dried fruits and candies on the table, and I will bring them to school and give them some.

A few little calves had eaten their breakfast gruntingly, and even set aside a special schoolbag to hold dried fruit, and put the eggs boiled for them by Grandma Du in their pockets, and they rushed out of the house like an arrow from Li Xuan , several half-sized children ran and shouted, "Goudan, Shuanzi, Shengzi, hurry to school, we have delicious food here, including fruit candy, milk candy, and dried fruit", when they arrived At school, there was already a long queue at the back, and when I heard them yelling for half-sized girls, the kids with runny noses all ran out, waiting to share the candies.

Sending off a few people to go to school, Ya'er followed Father Du and Zhang Zeyuan to the Laofeng Peak not far away to see if there were any valuable herbs on that mountain. During the trip, Father Du went to Ya'er's house on purpose. Here I took the bow that the two brothers usually play.Ya'er stared at it for a moment, Ya'er knew that her two elder brothers would sometimes shoot birds with that bow, but she didn't expect that Du's father would have such a childlike innocence.

Father Du knew what Ya'er was thinking when he saw Ya'er's expression, and nodded her little head, "Girl, today, Dad, I will let you see what it means to hit a hundred shots, hit a target with a hundred steps, and Dad will give you a pheasant to eat today. It's not comparable to those two little brats shooting blindly all day long."

Laolu Peak, as the name suggests, is said to be because there used to be the most crows on that mountain.Those crows often sing "quack-quack-quack..." in the middle of the night or at dusk, monotonous, pale, cold and rhythmic. In the quiet countryside, they appear extremely low and terrifying, making It is believed that the crow's cry is a bad omen.In fact, crows are monogamous throughout their lives and know how to feed back. They are relatively spiritual birds.In the bad years of the past few years, those crows often got into the stomachs of the nearby villagers, but now the name of the Old Raven Peak is a bit misleading.

The altitude of Laoqin Peak is not high, only 5 meters, with a radius of tens of miles. According to Du’s father, there are more birds on Laoqin Peak than on other mountains. A few days ago, Ya’er also followed Du’s mother They have been here to pick mountain goods.

When Zhang Zeyuan reached the hillside, he stopped climbing. Holding the bamboo poles he brought from home, he kept pulling at the bushes and grass on the hillside, bending over to pick them from time to time.Seeing Zhang Zeyuan stop, Ya'er also stopped herself. Now the most important thing is to follow along and study hard, although she really wants to watch Du Daddy fight pheasants.There are a lot of these herbs on the mountains in my space, many of which I don’t know, so I just need to learn from scratch.

I saw one big and one small, all holding bamboo poles in their hands and kept pulling. Zhang Zeyuan kept explaining something, "Ya'er, there are a lot of herbs on this mountain. Look, these are cats. Clawgrass, Peucedanum, Atractylodes, Salvia, Banlangen, Polygonatum, these herbs are suitable for harvesting in late autumn and early winter, and many of them are commonly used herbs.”

Seeing that the two were excited about talking, Father Du was not in a hurry to go up the mountain to hunt pheasants.If it’s because there is a specialization in art, if Dad Du digs wild vegetables and mushrooms, he can find one right away, but he can’t do it when looking for herbs. Withered grass, it took me a long time to find a few plants, but after asking Zhang Zeyuan, I found none of them.It seems that picking herbs is definitely not as simple as I thought at the time. I thought I could pick a bunch of them in a day.It is estimated that if the villagers come to pick it, it will be as difficult as it is now. Hey, it is not so easy to generate income.

As the sun gradually rose into the sky, Father Du looked at the only two herbs he picked, and at the half-blue seeds Zhang Zeyuan picked, even the buds were much more than what he picked.Could it be that he can't even compare to his own daughter? Father Du, whose self-confidence was hit, looked at the sun, and it was already mid-morning, "Ya'er, let's go with Dad to hunt pheasants in the mountains. In the evening, we will eat mushrooms stewed in the mountains." Chicken", Du Dae, who wanted to show his daughter his strengths, took Ya'er's little hand and prepared to go up the mountain.

"Brother, you should find it yourself first. I will go to the mountains to hunt two pheasants, so I can have extra meals in the evening. Anyway, I can't find those herbs here." Brother Zhang must not be as good as himself in hunting pheasants, Du's heart secretly think.

Ya'er saw that he knew all these herbs, and the other Uncle Zhang would teach him in the future, so he let Du Dae pull him up the mountain, learning and entertaining.Father Du led Ya'er, picking up some pebbles as he walked.

"Daddy, are you going to use these small stones to beat pheasants? Can you beat them to death?" Ya'er looked curiously.

"Pheasantes fly fast. If you hit a pheasant with a bow, you usually hit its legs or wings, so that they can't run away, and they can't be killed. Small birds like sparrows are about the same," Du said. His own strengths also followed. When he was a child, life was even more difficult than now. He used to beat sparrows with a bow and eat them roasted.

The two talked and walked, and they walked for about 20 minutes before reaching the edge of the woods, "Yaer, this pheasant is very timid, it will fly away when it hears the slightest movement, don't make a sound for a while, look at Daddy How did you fight?" Father Du told Ya'er.

Ya'er nodded, covered his mouth with his chubby little hand, and watched Du's father rubbing Ya'er's little head for a while, how could his daughter be so painful.

Du Dae took Ya'er and continued to walk in. Now the ground is full of fallen leaves, stepping on it quietly.Suddenly Du's father stopped, and Ya'er stepped on his toes through the bushes and saw two colorful pheasants pecking grass seeds not far away.It is late autumn, and there are yellow leaves everywhere, and the colorful pheasants are particularly conspicuous.

Father Du glanced at Ya'er, Ya'er covered his small mouth, and saw Father Du took out the bow from his arms, clamped it with a stone the size of a wine bottle cap from his pocket, straightened his right hand, and aimed at the bow. Let’s go, I heard a sharp “cluck” and flapping sound from the bush. A fat pheasant fell down in the grass, and the other was frightened and ran into the bush on the other side. gone.

"Wow, Daddy is awesome." Ya'er clapped his hands to applaud Du Daddy.This side is about 4,50 to [-] meters away from the pheasant, and Du Dae was able to shoot it in the leg, and it really hit the target with every shot. [

"How about it, Dad didn't lie to you, you are very good. Your Uncle Zhang is also a skill that makes perfect. If you let him play a bow, he will definitely not be able to beat Dad and me." Dad Du went around and put the pheasant in a bag, and finally he could feel proud .

"Mm, um, Daddy is the most powerful." How can Ya'er not know that Du Daddy is a little jealous.

"This is a male pheasant. When we get home, let grandma make a feather shuttlecock for Ya'er," Du asked.

"Okay, Ya'er wants a chicken feather shuttlecock", Ya'er smiled, how could such a father be so cute.

Father Du weighed the pheasant in the cloth bag, it weighed about 4,5 to [-] catties, and looked at the sun. He wanted to get another one to send to Uncle Ya’er’s house, but it was getting late, so he returned home It's time to eat, let's eat less at night. "Come on, Ya'er, let's go back. How about sending some chicken to my uncle's house when we get home?" Father Du asked.

"Okay, but there are a lot of pheasants in Ya'er's place. Let's give one to my second uncle's house. My cousin and the others may eat it. Half of it is definitely not enough." Ya'er covered it with a cloth bag from the space. Pass the two pheasants to Father Du.

Father Du took the pheasant and put it together, holding the pheasant in one hand and Ya'er's little hand in the other, thinking what a lovely and filial child Ya'er is, it's no wonder that her family loves her, she doesn't think about it all the time Are you with your family?

"Okay, let's give one to the second uncle's house, so that your two cousins, the calves, can have a full meal."

"Well, Daddy, can I have a look at the bow? I want to learn how to play a bow too." When Ya'er saw the bow pinned to Du's waist, Ya'er became interested. She never thought that a small bow could hit a pheasant.

"Okay, our little one will teach you if you want to learn from my father, but you can't pull this bow." Father Du took out the bow and handed it to Ya'er, then squeezed Ya'er's chubby arms and smiled.

Ya'er took the bow and took a closer look. It looked very ordinary. The fork of the bow was a jujube tree branch as thick as Du's finger, and each side was wrapped with four thin strips cut from the inner belt of a bicycle, about ten centimeters in length.The bow pocket is a small piece of boxy cowhide.Ya'er tried to pull it, but she didn't pull it at all, very frustrated.I thought I was in good health and strong, but it turned out to be incomparable, my brothers could pull me up.

"This is a stereotyped one. When I have time, Dad will make a simple one for Ya'er, and I will definitely be able to pull it." Seeing Ya'er's frustrated little face, Father Du couldn't help comforting him.

"Okay, Daddy will help me make one if he has time, thank you Daddy", Ya'er was happy again, and waved to Daddy Du, Du Daddy bent down quickly, Ya'er kissed Daddy Du with a "bai", This is what the father and father often do. When Ya'er beckons, Father Du puts his face close to him, and then Ya'er's soft mouth kisses his face.

When they went down the mountain to the hillside, they called Zhang Zeyuan and went home with their harvest for dinner.Zhang Zeyuan held three pheasants in one hand and picked herbs in the other. Looking at Father Du carrying Ya'er in front of him, the father and father were talking and laughing, and their hearts that had been restless for many years completely calmed down.
