Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 1241 Wood Warehouse
After this incident, Xiwazi and Lewazi became closer to Zhang Yu.

At noon that day, Zhang Yu was taking a nap when two children came to him and said they wanted to take him to smoke a rabbit.

Zhang Yu had seen countless rabbits, and he didn't know how many times the secret space had been flooded, but he had never smoked a rabbit.

After hearing what the two children said, I immediately became interested.

"go!"

The two children walked in front excitedly, introducing themselves to Zhang Yu as they walked: "Uncle Xiaoyu, I brought salt and matches, we will roast the rabbit later."

Lewazi seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "Uncle Xiaoyu, the rabbit my brother roasted is delicious, you must try it."

"Okay! I will definitely try your cooking today." Zhang Yu responded with a smile, but he also understood that the rabbit roasted by the children might not be really delicious.

Just like when he was a kid grilling fish.

In his imagination or memory, the fish was something very delicious.

But if you say it's really delicious, that's not necessarily true.

Of course, if you insist that there is not even a hint of salt in it and that the roasted black fish is delicious, he will not refute you.

But just think about it, a fish without any taste and smelling fishy will definitely not taste good.

The reason why I thought it was delicious at that time was not necessarily because of how delicious the grilled fish was, but mainly because of the process of grilling the fish.

After working for most of the day for a few small fish no longer than a finger, no one could even get a bite, but they were still very happy.

Thinking of this, the corners of Zhang Yu's lips curled up slightly. He missed his elder brother and the others.

In order to reminisce about his childhood, Zhang Yu was childish for once and specially made a seasoning packet.

It contains chopped green onion, ginger, salt, chili powder, honey...

With these seasonings, even if you can’t cook, the food you make won’t be too bad.

I followed the two children and watched them calling their friends along the way. By the time we reached the hill where they picked wild fruits last time, a large group of children had gathered.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Xiwazi clapped his hands in a very leadership-like manner and waved his hands, signaling everyone to follow his command.

"Lewazi, take the others to collect firewood, Ergou, take the others to the creek to catch fish..."

Watching Xiwazi arranging everyone's tasks in an orderly manner, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh that this kid is a good candidate to be an official.

However, despite his sighs, Zhang Yu felt a little worried when he heard that they were going to the creek to catch fish.

In response, Xiwazi explained: "Uncle Xiaoyu, don't worry. The water in the creek flows down from the mountain. It is very shallow. It only reaches my calves. It won't drown me."

Zhang Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

However, I still asked a few more questions, and only after confirming that there was really no problem with the small ditch did I dispel my doubts.

The youngest children were assigned to collect firewood, and those older than them were assigned to catch fish in the creek. After these people left, only a few slightly older children were left there.

Xiwazi waved his hand and announced directly: "Let's go to the rabbit hole to smoke it."

After that, he turned his head and looked at Zhang Yu: "Uncle Xiaoyu, do you want to go fishing or go with us to smoke the rabbit hole?"

"Let me go with you to smoke the rabbit hole." Zhang Yu had never done this before, so he was quite curious.

Just when a group of kids were making a fuss, Zhang Yu suddenly saw Damao and several of his peers walking towards the west mountain.

He was a little worried, so he said something to Xiwazi and ran to stop the children.

"Where are you going?"

Damao replied, "Let's go to the foot of the West Mountain to collect some firewood."

Zhang Yu frowned slightly: "Can't we pick it up here? You saw how dangerous it is in Xishan that day."

Damao: "Uncle Xiaoyu, there is not much firewood here."

Zhang Yu looked around. The mountains here were relatively close to the brigade. The younger children basically played nearby and would pick up some firewood every day.

Zhang Yu also heard from his uncle that the villagers were very tacit about collecting firewood.

Adults generally do not pick up firewood from the hill closest to the village, as that firewood is reserved for the children.

As for adults collecting firewood, they usually go to the foot of the West Mountain, or to the other two slightly larger mountains.

Gradually, children aged 10 and above also developed this habit.

Zhang Yu said with some concern: "Then be careful and pick up firewood at the foot of the mountain, but don't run up the mountain."

Da Mao nodded and pointed to the basket on his back: "Uncle Xiaoyu, don't worry, we won't go in. We will just pick up some firewood at the foot of the mountain and go back when we have a full basket of radishes."

"That's good!" Zhang Yu nodded, and then suddenly asked: "Did you tell your family when you came here?"

Da Mao: "I told you, my grandma knew I was going to the foot of the West Mountain to collect firewood, so she specially asked me to bring a knife with me."

As he spoke, he took out a rusty hatchet from his backpack.

Seeing that they had reported to their families and that their families had prepared things for them, Zhang Yu felt slightly relieved.

But he still reminded everyone again: "It's very dangerous inside the car, don't go in."

"Got it, Uncle Xiaoyu." After what happened with Ermao and Xiaopang, the children did not seem annoyed at Zhang Yu's repeated reminders, but Zhang Yu still sensed something was wrong.

But when I looked more carefully, I didn't find anything wrong.

After saying goodbye, looking at Damao's back, Zhang Yu had a bad feeling in his heart.

At this moment, the noisy voices of Xiwazi and the others drew his attention back.

Looking up, I saw several children chasing a rabbit.

"Oh, someone come quickly, the rabbit is running to the other side, someone come quickly stop it!"

"Ahhh, the rabbit is running towards you again, stop it, stop it!"

"The rabbit ran away. It ran to where you are. Stop it!"

"Oh, why are you so stupid?"

"Let me do it, let me do it! I must catch it!"

"Oh, almost."

"..."

Listening to the children's noise, Zhang Yu was also infected by the atmosphere and no longer worried about Damao.

Zhang Yu watched a group of children catching rabbits with a smile.

Suddenly, the hare broke through the crowd and headed towards Zhang Yu.

Looking at the rabbit so close to him, Zhang Yu subconsciously stretched out his foot and kicked it hard. The rabbit hit the tree next to him directly, twitched twice, and then became motionless.

A group of children ran over and looked at the rabbit that Zhang Yu had kicked to death on the ground. They were stunned at first, and then they cheered loudly.

Xiwazi was the most excited among them. He rushed over and hugged Zhang Yu's thighs: "Ahhh, Uncle Xiaoyu, you are so awesome! You caught the rabbit."

"Uncle Xiaoyu, Uncle Xiaoyu, can you also teach me how to catch rabbits?" More children came over.

Zhang Yu felt so proud facing this group of sweet-talking kids who adored him.

In full view of everyone, he picked up the rabbit and waved his hand: "Let's go and make a fire to roast the rabbit."

"Wow! That's great, I can eat rabbit meat, I can eat rabbit!"

Zhang Yu weighed the hare in his hand.

The rabbit was really heavy, weighing at least five or six pounds. When a group of children volunteered to skin it, Zhang Yu was still a little hesitant.

But when he saw Xiwazi cutting open and skinning the rabbit very skillfully, Zhang Yu knew that these kids had gone through a lot of trouble before.

Hearing the cheers, the children who had run out to collect firewood and catch fish came back.

I picked up a lot of firewood, but I didn't catch many fish.

Looking at a group of children staring at the rabbit, Zhang Yu suddenly felt that the rabbit was not that big.

Each child can get one or two bites at most.

After thinking about it, he found an excuse to leave for a while, and then came back with four big fat rabbits.

He didn't go to the rabbit hole to smoke the rabbit. This time, he took the rabbit out from the secret space.

Seeing Zhang Yu holding two big fat rabbits in each hand, the children present couldn't help but exclaim: "Wow!"

Xiwazi opened his eyes even wider: "Uncle Xiaoyu, did you catch this rabbit?"

Zhang Yu nodded and handed him the rabbit that I had killed.

"I happened to see the rabbit's nest when I went out just now, so I caught it."

Zhang Yu spoke calmly, but the kids' faces were full of admiration.

"Uncle Xiaoyu, you are really awesome!"

Xiwazi praised Zhang Yu excitedly, but refused to take the rabbit that Zhang Yu handed over.

He scratched his head and said, "Uncle Xiaoyu, you caught this rabbit, you should take it home and eat it. This one is enough for us."

After this was said, the other children were a little disappointed, and they all echoed: "Yes, yes, Xiwazi is right, Uncle Xiaoyu, you have already given us a rabbit, you should take it home and eat it."

Seeing that the children were so obedient and sensible, Zhang Yu directly stuffed the rabbit into the arms of the older children.

"Don't waste time, hurry up and prepare the rabbit. Everyone is waiting to eat it."

"Uncle Xiaoyu." Xiwazi was still a little hesitant.

"Okay, okay, everyone who sees it gets a share. I said I'd treat you to rabbit today, and you can't let me go back on my word."

The children were not afraid at all and they cleaned up the four big fat rabbits very neatly.

Looking at the big fat rabbit in his hand, Xiwazi couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a fat, big rabbit!"

Looking at the big fat rabbit in his brother's hand, Lewazi couldn't help swallowing his saliva and couldn't help urging, "Brother, roast it quickly, I'm hungry."

Zhang Yu then took out the seasoning packets he had prepared in advance and taught the children how to use them.

In the meantime, he also taught the children some tips on roasting rabbit from time to time.

After the rabbit was roasted, Xiwazi tore off a rabbit leg and handed it directly to Zhang Yu.

"Uncle Xiaoyu, why don't you try it and see how it tastes?"

Looking at a group of children with bright eyes, Zhang Yu took a bite of the rabbit meat in his hand.

To be honest, even with the seasoning he prepared, the taste was just mediocre at best.

However, looking at the children's expectant eyes, Zhang Yu nodded and praised: "It tastes very good."

Xiwazi raised the corners of his mouth high, and tore off half of the rabbit and handed it to Zhang Yu: "It's delicious, Xiaoyu, eat more."

Zhang Yu refused the half rabbit he handed over again and raised the rabbit in his hand: "You guys eat it, this rabbit leg is enough for me."

Worried that the kids would feel embarrassed to eat because of his presence, Zhang Yu finished the rabbit leg in a few bites and then found an excuse to leave.

"I have something to do. You guys eat first. Don't forget to put out the fire after you finish eating."

Xiwazi nodded: "Got it, Uncle Xiaoyu."

As soon as Zhang Yu left, he heard the excited voices of the children.

"I want to eat rabbit legs, I want to eat rabbit legs!"

"I want to eat……"

Hearing this, Zhang Yu smiled slightly.

After he came down the mountain, he thought of Damao who had to go to the foot of the West Mountain to collect firewood. He felt a little uneasy, so he strolled to the foot of the West Mountain.

When we arrived at the foot of the West Mountain, we did not see Damao.

Zhang Yu was a little worried and looked around. He found a child who had come with Damao to collect firewood and asked him if he had seen where Damao had gone.

Upon learning that Damao complained that there were not enough branches at the foot of the mountain and walked a little further in, Zhang Yu's face changed, his heart skipped a beat, and he finally remembered that something was wrong.

Because Ermao's injury was more serious, Damao's parents gave up the idea of ​​taking turns to take care of the child in the hospital, and they are both in the hospital now.

Damao's grandmother is not young anymore, and after seeing what happened to Ermao, she would never let Damao get close to Xishan.

Last night, Zhang Yu heard from his second uncle Xie that Damao’s grandmother was so nervous about Damao that she even refused to let him go to the hill to collect firewood.

Under such circumstances, the old lady would never let Damao go to the foot of the West Mountain to collect firewood.

I'm afraid that kid Big Cat sneaked out with an axe.

After thinking it over, Zhang Yu felt as if he had figured out what Damao was going to do.

After asking Damao which way he got up, he chased after him.

While chasing, I prayed in my heart: This kid must not do anything stupid!
Thinking of the knife that Damao brought with him, Zhang Yu's ominous premonition became more intense.

Along the way, Zhang Yu did not dare to stop at all, and finally found Damao halfway up the mountain.

When he found Damao, he was lying in the bushes, holding a knife in his hand, staring straight at a man in black clothes.

He was holding a shovel and digging something there.

While digging, he cursed: "Fuck... Which bastard destroyed my trap? Fuck..."

The man who was digging the trap didn't notice the big hairy creature in the bushes nearby.

Looking at the fierceness in Damao's eyes, Zhang Yu had no doubt that he would pick up a knife and chop the other person in the next second.

Zhang Yu subconsciously squatted down and also hid in the dense bushes.

Through the gaps in the bushes, Zhang Yu carefully observed the man, trying to recognize who he was.

It’s a pity that the other person always had his back to him, and Zhang Yu couldn’t see clearly what the other person looked like.

As the man's curses became more and more vicious, Da Mao's eyes became redder and Zhang Yu's heart began to pound. He was worried that Da Mao was too impulsive.

Zhang Yu secretly prayed: "Da Mao, calm down, you must calm down! Don't rush over!"

It’s not that he is timid, but through his observation just now, he seems to see the bulge on the other person’s waist.

If he was not mistaken, the shape of that thing seemed to be... seemed to be a wooden warehouse.

Zhang Yu couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

I go!

Who is this person who dug the trap?

He was actually wearing a wooden gun.

At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from the side.

It was like something extremely large was passing through the bushes. The sound became louder and louder, and it was getting closer and closer to Zhang Yu.
