Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

After tearing some chicken breast, Gu Siwei put it in his mouth and tasted it. The fishy smell was still a bit strong, but it was not inedible. Under the current conditions, Gu Siwei could only be a Ninja Turtle.

The four monkeys sitting not far away did not dislike it. They all looked at Gu Siwei with their eyes open. A little further away from them, there was the entire group of monkeys.

The eating order of Gu Siwei's small wild group is like this. Gu Siwei is first, the second group is the flatterer, the third group is the three subordinates of the flatterer, and finally the group of monkeys.

The food was passed from level to level, and Gu Siwei was naturally the best. The pheasant that was a little burnt went to the toady, the pheasant that was a little more burnt went to the toady's men, and the black one with bones was the turn of the monkeys.

Do you think this is bad? The original monkey king can now only chew bones, and these are the kind of bones that have been chewed countless times by other monkeys. Not to mention the meat, not even the pheasant flavor is left.

Although the taste is bad, this is the first time Gu Siwei has had a full meal here. After decades, he still doesn’t think there is anything special about a full meal, but now? !

Gu Siwei patted his belly happily, wishing he could sing a song to express his feelings.

There was prey for the village, but Gu Siwei didn't want to go back just like this. He also wanted to get more familiar with the mountains and forests. To be precise, he wanted to feel along the river to see what animals and plants were nearby for food. Anyway, I can change the taste between Tiantian Bangzi Noodles.

With this idea, Gu Siwei continued to search along the river.

Judging from the straight line, Gu Siwei is still quite close to the village now. The straight-line distance is only about ten kilometers at most. However, if there is no space for Gu Siwei to walk on two legs, it will probably take at least a day to get back to the village. time.

Walking ten kilometers a day? This is no exaggeration at all. This is a mountainous area. The so-called "looking at the mountain" is a dead horse. What's more, you are in the mountain and can look very close, but the mountain road is dangerous. The villages on the two mountaintops can see each other, so you can go It's not unusual for the last day or two.

Soon Gu Siwei found traces of wild boars by the river. In fact, he didn't know much about wild boars, but as the old saying goes, if you haven't eaten pork, you haven't seen a pig running. No matter what pig's trotters look like, Gu Siwei is knew.

There are pig trotter prints and pig excrement on the riverside. If this is not a wild boar, what is it?

After discovering the wild boar, Gu Siwei was ordered to wait, but after waiting for several hours and still not getting the result, Gu Siwei continued to search upstream.

Two days later, Gu Siwei was about to return to the village when he heard the roar of a tiger in the forest.

Ouch! Ouch!

The kind of echo that shook the forest immediately made Gu Siwei understand what kind of power it was to call the tiger roaring in the forest.

Gu Siwei really wanted to see the tiger, but unfortunately he had no ability to find the tiger. After understanding this, Gu Siwei turned around and returned to the village along the river.

When we came here, we climbed over mountains and ridges. When we came back, Gu Siwei simply made a raft. Several bowl-sized logs were tied with vines and lowered directly down the river.

This is not to say that Gu Siwei really has nothing to do. Lao Gu is planning to settle in the village. He will definitely have a place to live in the future. There are just those dilapidated houses in the village. How can Gu Siwei, a man who came back after fighting for decades, be used to living there.

If he wanted to live comfortably, Gu Siwei thought that he would have to build a new house.

What materials are used to build a new house? It's just wood, cement and stone. Gu Siwei, who doesn't have tiles, thinks it's dangerous. Now that the National Movement is underway, he doesn't know if there are tiles. Even if there are tiles, he probably won't use money to buy them.

I don’t know, but Gu Siwei is going to take a walk and have a look. If it doesn’t work, he might as well use grass to build the roof.

The roof can be treated with grass, but the beams cannot be treated with grass, so the wood from Gu Siweizha's raft came in handy.

It was very smooth, from the upstream to the downstream. It felt a bit like the apes on both sides of the river couldn't stop crying, and the broken raft had passed several mountains.

After seeing the village, the water slowed down, and Gu Siwei took a stick as thick as his arm to use as a pole.

As the village grew larger and larger in Gu Siwei's sight, the people in the village quickly discovered Gu Siwei.

"Someone is coming, someone is coming!"

The naughty children rushed to meet him. They ran after Fazi by the river, shouting and screaming as they ran.

The children's cries drew all the adults out of their homes. They first saw Gu Siwei, and then saw the four pheasants on Gu Siwei's raft. The smiles on many people's faces became even stronger.

"Old Uncle Liu! Captain Yang!..."

Gu Siwei pulled the raft to the shore, said hello to the people watching the fun on the shore, and then picked up the four pheasants on the raft.

Arriving next to Liu Fulin, Gu Siwei handed over the four pheasants tied together two by two.

"this……"

He wanted to take it, but Liu Fulin was a little embarrassed. He only asked her in a non-verbal way two days ago when she was leaving, but now he stretched out his hand to take it when he saw him coming back with a chicken?

Gu Siwei directly put the chicken into Liu Fulin's hands: "Thanks to the care of the folks these days, this is what I deserve."

"Comrade Gu, where did you catch this pheasant? It's so fat."

An old man nearby who came to join in the fun asked while clicking his pipe.

Gu Siwei said: "I don't know exactly where it is. Anyway, I arrested him when I saw him."

The old man nodded after hearing this and said no more words.

The old man is an old mountaineer and knows that it is not easy to catch such fat pheasants. There are two main reasons. One is that the people in the village have not had anything to eat or drink in these years, and all the easy pheasants nearby have been caught.

Secondly, almost all the edible food nearby went into the stomach. Whether it was wild fruits or vegetables, they were all used as food. There was no food or drink. Naturally, the pheasants in the mountains would not come again.

Anyway, the situation is very difficult. On the one hand, there are no small animals such as pheasants within ten miles. Let alone pheasants, it is now difficult to see voles around here.

“There are also wild persimmons picked in the basket!”

Gu Siwei pointed at the straw bag placed on the raft. He said that the straw bag was actually something randomly woven from a few vines. It contained the persimmons that Gu Siwei received from the monkey.

As for the persimmons in space, if Gu Siwei is willing, but those things have to be picked one by one, how can he have the leisure time? Besides, for Gu Siwei, the villagers can hardly even eat, so they shouldn't pick persimmons. In space or out of space.

While Gu Siwei was talking, Liu Dezhu was already standing on the raft, reaching out to push aside some hay covering it, revealing the red persimmons like small lanterns.

The villagers are quite knowledgeable about this stuff. There is a persimmon tree in the village, and the fruit it produces is pretty good, but in terms of appearance, it is much worse than this persimmon.

Liu Dezhu reached out and took one, wiped it briefly and put it in his mouth.

After taking a bite, he grinned and shouted to everyone on the shore: "Sweet!"

As soon as he said it was sweet, the children on the bank who had been drooling for a long time could not hold back and immediately started to grab it.

When Liu Dezhu saw it, he immediately bit the remaining half of the persimmon in his mouth, reached out to pick up the rattan bag, and put it on the shore.

By the time they were put on the shore, half of the persimmons had been lost.

“Taste it”

Gu Siwei said to Liu Fulin and Captain Yang Yang Chuanwu.

The two of them were no longer polite, and each reached out and took a persimmon.

"tasty!"

"Is this a wild persimmon?"

Yang Chuanwu didn't believe it. These wild persimmons were more delicious than the persimmons grown in the village. How could this be justified?

"Well, it's really a wild persimmon."

Gu Siwei replied, and after finishing speaking, he saw Liu Dezhu handing him a persimmon and waved his hand.

"I ate it in the mountains."

Liu Dezhu asked: "There are many persimmons there?"

"It's not too much, but there are still some. I didn't pack enough baskets here, so I can only bring so much back. There are probably two or three baskets in Murakami there, but I can't say for sure. Now this persimmon refers to Maybe it will attract birds or something," Gu Siwei said.

Guo Xiangping opened his mouth and asked, "Can you tell me where the persimmon tree is, roughly where it is?"

Gu Siwei didn't lie to him, he directly told him the location of the persimmon tree.

After hearing this, Guo Xiangping was stunned and looked at Gu Siwei in disbelief: "Can you go to the top of that mountain?"

It wasn't Guo Xiangping either. Several old people nearby were a little confused because they knew where this place was and none of them had the ability to go up there.

Climbing mountains and ridges is not like ordinary people. Even experienced mountaineers, few can climb a cliff of tens of meters with bare hands.

Anyone who can do this kind of thing can be counted with a slap in the face of all the Zhuangzi in the entire vicinity.

"You went up?"

Some people still can't believe it.

Gu Siwei showed off a little and said with a smile: "Yeah, I'm going up. It looks dangerous but it's nothing."

This coin was faked by Lao Gu, which made a bunch of old men speechless, and some simply stopped talking and continued to suck the persimmons in their hands.

After chatting for a while, everyone ate the persimmons and couldn't eat the chicken now, so everyone helped Gu Siwei pull the raft ashore, and after chatting together for a while, they each took three or five persimmons home.

Gu Siwei followed Liu Fulin and Liu Dezhu back to their small courtyard.

We went back and continued to knock chestnuts while basking in the sun. When it was time to eat, everyone heard the bell ringing and got up and went to the dining hall.

Gu Siwei brought pheasants, so the porridge in the pot at night would naturally taste better.

There are some extra chicken pieces in the porridge.

Not counting chicken nuggets, diced chicken is about the same. Both the bones and the meat are about the size of a finger. These things usually end up in the bowls of children of all sizes.

The children finished eating the little bit of meat, and the remaining things were passed through the mouths of the adults. The remaining bones were picked up and gnawed by the dogs. It was really not a waste.

Gu Siweina definitely didn't want to eat. How could he be interested in grabbing things from the children? Besides, he had already eaten here.

It's strange that you said this. When Gu Siwei ate it, it was fishy and tasteless, but when he put a chicken in the big pot, the porridge cooked out was much sweeter than before.

Lao Gu, this is nonsense. Whether it is fishy or not depends on the quantity. A chicken is chopped into pieces and put into two large pots for dozens of people in the village to eat. If it is still fishy, ​​then the whole chicken is not fishy. Smells?

In short, today's meal was much more lively than before. Although there was only one chicken, everyone seemed to enjoy it.

Not all the chickens were eaten, only one rooster was eaten, and the remaining larger rooster and two hens were not eaten, and were kept in the woodshed in the dining hall.

For this reason, Yang Chuanwu also asked Gu Siwei for his opinion.
