Chapter 17 Bows and snails

Although it was just a simple wild vegetable minced meat soup without any oil, the whole family praised it one after another as if they had eaten something delicious.

Perhaps, the happiness that people have been chasing is nothing more than being able to sit together and have a full meal...

After dinner, it was already dark, Song Zi and Dad went to the river to fetch water, and there was no kerosene to light the lamp at home, so Xia Mujin lit a fire in the house, and then took a branch and drew a model of a crossbow on the ground: "Brother, Look at this thing, can it be made?"

At this time, Dad and Songzi came back with water. There was no water tank in the house, and the only ones filled with water were these two wooden barrels. Start a fire in the house, how... this... this"

Xia Senlin was very puzzled by his daughter's behavior. It was time to wash up and go to the kang, but when he saw the picture on the ground, he couldn't help being stunned.

"Father, you are a carpenter, can you make this?" Xia Mujin saw her father's eyes widened in surprise and remained motionless, she had hope on the spot, jumped up and pulled her father's arm and asked.

"Daddy can do this stuff, but"

"Isn't elder brother Daddy's apprentice?"

Knowing his concerns, Xia Mujin moved Xia Tieshu out on the spot, but quickly ran to the barrel, filled some water in a bamboo tube, and was about to drink it, when she suddenly shouted: "There are snails in the river!"

In the past, Xia Mujin seldom went to the river to fetch water, and she would wash clothes on the shallowest bank, because she was afraid of water, not ordinary, so naturally she didn't know about snails.

"What are snails?" Song Zi was surprised at what his sister said, and ran over at that time, only to see that Xia Mujin had fished out the snails from the barrel.

"Ah, sister, throw it away quickly. This thing is poisonous. Last year, Erya and the others picked it up and ate it home, but they had a terrible stomachache. Later, they went to see a doctor who prescribed medicine and came back. There are a lot of these things in the river. We all If you dare not take it, why did it end up in the bucket.”

Seeing his sister holding the snail in a daze, Songzi became anxious and knocked the snail down with a sprint. Xia Senlin also came over, kicked the snail out, and told Xia Mujin not to touch it.

Xia Mujin's mind is full of business opportunities now, and she can't hear what they said at all. Besides, after eating diarrhea, it's because they didn't clean up the excrement of the snail...

Xia Senlin and Xia Tieshu rushed to make the crossbow overnight. Last night, it rained for a whole night and didn't stop until five o'clock. Xia Mujin was so excited that she stayed up all night, her mind was full of holding the bow Crossbow went hunting, got up early in the morning with pine nuts, and asked Xia Tieshu to use bamboo to thin it out for arrows.

Aunt Xia cooked the breakfast. She boiled a pot of porridge with a lot of rice bran in it. It was practical, and Xia Senlin was asked to pull the ox cart, and the three of them walked towards the mountain.

Under Xia Mujin's guidance, the bullock cart turned into a cart, which made it less strenuous to pull.

"Pine nuts, pick all these chrysanthemums, and this one, separate the three-leaf, five-leaf, and seven-leaf ones, don't ask anything now, just listen to my sister, dad, you gather some firewood here, I will Go over there and see if there are mushrooms or something?"

Xia Senlin was very satisfied with her daughter, so she agreed at that time, not to mention that she often came to Da Miao Mountain, and usually dig wild vegetables by herself, but the wild vegetables I ate yesterday were different from the usual ones, and the taste was better. It's just that he didn't know that thing could be eaten too.
