Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 12
After dawdling for a while, the time when the two of them set off was from Maoshi to Chenshi.Considering that Wan Wan had not recovered from his illness, he walked very slowly.After turning over the mountain next to it, it was already daylight.

In modern society, under all kinds of pollution, it is very rare to have such good air. Even in modern mountains, it cannot be compared with this era.Here is a pure ecological natural environment.

The turbid air in the lungs is discharged, and the mood can't help being happy.Wan Wan walked while admiring the scenery, paying attention to the path the two walked, and occasionally chatting with Baishou.

In the past two days, what Wanwan said to Baishou was twice as much as all the words in the six months of marriage.This is something Baishou never thought of.He is very happy today. He remembers that a few days ago, Wanwan said that he didn’t remember some things clearly, so he answered everything in detail, regardless of whether he knew what he said. .

This is according to Wanwan's intention, and he knows more about the village.

This small place is backed by mountains, which is called hills in modern terms. A long time ago, people mainly hunted. Later, the imperial court began to encourage the people to do farming, and adopted preferential policies for various villages including Wangjia Village. The annual tax was reduced a lot. As a result, more and more people were farming, and fewer people were hunting.

Later, people discovered that farming seems to be more able to guarantee basic life than hunting. In addition to busy farming, people can do other things during slack farming, such as continuing to hunt, and some people go out to do physical work during slack farming.Those who have the ability and capital go to small towns to start a small business.In this way, there will be a harvest in the field, and other income will not be delayed.

But Baishou has been living alone since he was eight years old, and he is used to going to the mountains to hunt every day.One person is full and the whole family is not hungry, and it is basically enough to fill the stomach.

The village where Baishou lives is called Yangjiacun, and the village of Wanwan’s mother’s family is named Wangjiacun because Wang’s surname is the most.

The two villages are not far apart, and the neighbors in the village, the three aunts and six wives who are usually fine like to talk about things, so basically everyone in the neighboring villages knows what is going on in a village, which is why no one in the neighboring villages dared to marry Baishou reason.

And after Wanwan got married, not only was there no one from her natal family to see her off on the wedding day, but she never came back after getting married, and no one from her natal family came to visit.

This is really the water thrown by the married daughter.

Wanwan couldn't help feeling sorry in his heart.

At that time, the two climbed over two mountains and finally reached the foot of the third mountain.

Baishou helped Wanwan to sit on a rock, walked to the river, took off a leaf, washed it in the clear river water, and then put a leaf of clean water on it and held it in front of Wanwan: "Daughter-in-law, have a drink." water."

Wanwan swallowed his saliva, his throat was really dry and astringent, he took the leaves and drank the water in one breath, the water in this mountain was not only clear but also a bit sweet in the mouth.In the end, I couldn't help licking my lips.

Then he handed the leaves back to Baishou, and said with a smile, "You can also get some drinks."

"You drink first, do you want more?" I have to take good care of my daughter-in-law first.

Wanwan smiled embarrassedly: "Drink a little more."

Baishou immediately turned around and walked to the river to fill a leaf of water.

This is the real mountain spring!In modern times, some unscrupulous merchants specially pack this kind of mountain spring back for processing and then sell it as mineral water.I once went to a mountain for tourism, and when I came down from the mountain, I passed a spring mouth, and I saw with my own eyes that many people from the mountain came up with buckets or bottles to fill the spring water.And the rice cooked with mountain spring has a clear fragrance.

It is impossible to have such an environmentally friendly and sweet spring water in modern times.In ancient times, there was no industrial pollution, and most of the drinking water was drawn from the river.

The two drank some water and started on their way again.

Go all the way around Benwan to see if there are zheer vegetables or other edible wild vegetables.Baishou's attention is all on the surrounding woods.When he was halfway up the mountain, Baishou found a clean place for Wanwan to sit down and rest, took out the cake in his arms and gave it to her, and walked quietly behind a tree with a bow and arrow and squatted down.

Wanwan was eating cakes while observing the surroundings. It was quiet and didn't see any animals, but Baishou seemed to be waiting for something with his frowning concentration.

After a while, she tiptoed to Baishou, took out a piece of cake and handed it to him, Baishou just glanced at it, took the cake and stuffed it into her mouth.Neither looked at her.

She gently approached Baishou, and said: "Are we going to be like this forever?" Waiting for a rabbit?
The warm breath hit the side of his face and itchy, Baishou's heart jumped twice, his face started to feel hot, he moved slightly to the side, and whispered: "There are a lot of things in this place, go and sit next to him."

Wanwan originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but seeing Baishou observing his surroundings intently, he swallowed his words back, and walked back to the place where he was sitting just now.Sit down again and continue to observe Baishou while eating cakes.

After a while, the sound of crickets came from the forest on the left, and it rang again and then disappeared. After a while, there was the sound of animals stepping on the leaves, and a hare with gray fur appeared within sight.

Wan Wan's eyes brightened.Looking at Baisong again, I saw that he was staring at the hare looking around without blinking, quickly stuffed the half-eaten cake into his arms with his hands, wiped his hands on his clothes, and then Take out the arrow, draw the bow, and aim at the hare.

Wan Wan held his breath, his mouth was full of biscuits and he forgot to chew, I heard that hunters are good at hand, how about men shooting arrows?
Only a few seconds passed, but Wanwan felt that it was as long as 1 minute. Under the best opportunity, Baishou pulled down the bow and arrow without hesitation, and the arrow passed through the hare's hind legs accurately. When it found the danger, everything was over. The hare panicked and wanted to get up from the ground and run away, but it found that it could do nothing, the leg bone was completely broken, it could only flop around in panic, looking at the approaching humans in fear.

Baishou lifted the rabbit up, weighed it, and happily said to the stupefied bend: "This rabbit is fat."

Wan Wan came back to his senses, trotted over immediately, looked at Bai Shou curiously, and sincerely praised: "Bai Shou is so amazing!"

Baishou scratched his hair in embarrassment, this was the first time someone praised him, and he was his wife, so he said: "It's nothing, many people in the village know it." His eyes became brighter and energetic.

"They must not shoot as well as you." Wanwan smiled and looked at him with unusual firmness, and he could guess the position of his shot.

Then he looked at the rabbit in Baishou's hand, and the hare was also looking at her with two red eyes in panic.

"Is it male or female?"

Baishou turned the rabbit over and said, "Master."

"But it's still alive, so should we raise it?" Wanwan hesitated.

"Let's talk about it when we go home, I don't know what else we can get later." Baishou said.

"Ok."

If you can catch more prey today, maybe you can consider raising this rabbit, and catch a female rabbit next time to make a pair.Maybe they will have a bunch of bunnies in the future.

Baishou didn't take down the arrow, but directly threw the rabbit into the back lou, so that it couldn't run away, then put the back on his back, and the two continued to move forward.
