Portable Space: Red Age of Rebirth

Early the next morning, Grandma Du called Ya'er's eldest brother, Du Haoyu, to bring a few kilograms of dried fruits and a pound of toffee to Uncle Ya'er and the others. When she came back, Du Haoyu was followed by two big tails, the eldest cousin.

Du Wenhao and his younger cousin Du Wenbo also came over. They heard from their eldest brother Haoyu that Ya'er got so many little people's books from the county yesterday that they didn't even bother to eat breakfast, so they came over together.

. Anyway, they will definitely not be hungry here, and there may be something delicious to eat. No, when Grandma Du saw the other two good grandchildren coming over, she quickly took out four more eggs from the jar and put them in

Boil in the pot.

When the two cousins ​​were in Ya'er's room, they saw so many little books on the table. They wanted to put them all in their schoolbags and take them home to read slowly. However, their uncle Du Jianshe stopped them and asked them to take them with them.

If you go to school with a bag of little books, you don't have to go to class today. For the children in the village, the charm of the little books is much more than attending lectures.

"If you don't listen to my little uncle, next time I won't find any novels for you, and I won't show you any of these. Hum, I will tell grandpa that you don't pay attention to the lectures." Ya'er said

Seeing that my uncle couldn't get rid of a few mischievous monkeys, he had no choice but to support him.

"Good Ya'er, let's stop making trouble. We'll watch it after school. We'll definitely find some for us next time." When the brothers heard Ya'er's threat, they were all scared. They didn't have to be afraid of my uncle, but

They are afraid of Ya'er. If they offend Ya'er, they will definitely not get any good results.

"Okay, if you all listen carefully to the teachers' lectures and complete your homework carefully, I will let you read it. If anyone is praised by the teacher, I will ask my uncle to give him a little book. Those friends in the village

Same thing, tell them when school is over, I found these little books, and I have the final say." Ya'er raised her chin and said arrogantly. Ya'er knew that those children in the village

Sometimes they are not very interested in going to school, so I want to find a way to motivate them.[

When the four brothers saw Ya'er saying this, they also knew that these little people's books would not be available for reading at school today. However, there were also consolation prizes. There were a lot of dried fruits and candies on the table, which they would take to school later.

Give them some.

The little calves snored after breakfast, and even set aside a schoolbag to hold dried fruits. They put the eggs that Grandma Du boiled for them in their pockets, and like Li Xuan's arrows, they flew out of the house.

, several half-grown boys ran and shouted, "Goudan, Shuanzi, Shengzi, hurry up and go to school. We have delicious food here, including fruit candies, milk candies, and dried fruits." Waiting for them to arrive

When I was at school, there was already a long queue behind me. When I heard their shouts, all the little girls and kids with runny noses ran out, waiting to share the candy.

After sending a few people off to school, Ya'er followed Du and Zhang Zeyuan to Laogu Peak not far away to see if there were any valuable herbs on that mountain. When going there, Du's father even went to Ya'er's house.

Ya'er took the bow that the two brothers usually played with. Ya'er looked at it for a moment and was stunned. Ya'er knew that her two brothers would sometimes shoot birds with the bow, but she didn't expect that Du's father still had such a childlike innocence.

Father Du knew what Ya'er was thinking as soon as he saw Ya'er's expression, and nodded her little head, "Daughter, today I'm going to let you see what it means to shoot with a hundred hits and hit a target with a hundred steps. I'll shoot you a pheasant today."

It can’t be compared to those two little bastards shooting blindly all day long.”

Laolu Peak, as its name suggests, is said to be because that mountain had the most crows in the past. Those crows often uttered "quack-quack-quack..." late at night or at dusk, which was monotonous, pale, cold and rhythmic.

The crows of crows are extremely low and terrifying in the quiet countryside, making people think that the crows of crows are an ominous omen. In fact, crows are monogamous for life and know how to feed back, making them a relatively spiritual bird. Before

During the bad years, those crows often found their way into the bellies of nearby villagers, and now Laofu Peak is a bit unworthy of its name.

The altitude of Laoyu Peak is not high, only 5,600 meters, with a radius of dozens of miles. According to Du's father, there are more birds on Laoyu Peak than on some other mountains. A few days ago, Ya'er followed Du's mother and others.

Come here to pick wild products.

When Zhang Zeyuan reached the hillside, he stopped climbing. He held the bamboo pole he brought from home and kept pulling at the bushes and grass on the hillside, bending down to pick from time to time. When Ya'er saw Zhang Zeyuan stopped,

I also stopped, and now it is most important to study hard, even though I really want to watch Du Daddy hunt pheasants. There are a lot of these herbs in the mountains in my space, and I don’t know many of them, so I just want to learn from the beginning.

.

I saw one big and one small, all holding bamboo poles in their hands and pulling at them. Zhang Zeyuan kept explaining something, "Ya'er, there are a lot of herbs on this mountain. Look, these are the cats."

Claw grass, front bean sprouts, atractylodes, salvia, isatis root, 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 of them were talking, Father Du was no longer in a hurry to go up to the mountain to hunt pheasants. He also stopped and followed him, making signs with gourds and gourds. If not because he was specialized in the art, perhaps Father Du was digging wild vegetables and picking mushrooms.

I was able to find the right one, but I couldn't find the herbal medicine Du Die. I searched and searched, and all the herbs were the same withered grass. It took me a long time to find just a few of them. After asking Zhang Zeyuan, I found that none of them were the same.

.It seems that picking herbs is definitely not as easy as I thought at the time. I thought I could pick a bunch of them in a day. I guess it will be the same as me now if the villagers come to pick them. It will be very difficult. Hey, it is not so easy to generate income.

The sun gradually rose into the sky. Du Daddy looked at the only two herbs he had picked, and then looked at the half-green seeds that Zhang Zeyuan had picked. Even the buds were much more than what he had picked. Could it be that he had even picked them?

Even his own daughter could not compare with him. Father Du, whose self-confidence was shaken, looked at the sun and saw that it was already midnight, "Ya'er, let's go with dad to hunt pheasants in the mountains. Let's eat mushroom stewed pheasants in the evening."

Father Du, who wanted to show off his strengths to his daughter, took Ya'er's little hand and prepared to go up the mountain.

"Brother, you need to find it yourself first. I'm going to the mountains to hunt two pheasants. It's good for dinner in the evening. Anyway, I can't find those herbs here." Brother Zhang would definitely not be able to match him in hunting pheasants. Du's father secretly thought

think.

Ya'er saw that he knew all these herbs, and other uncle Zhang would teach him again in the future, so he let his father Du pull him up the mountain, so that he could learn and have fun at the same time. Father Du led Ya'er and picked them up while walking.

Some pebbles.

"Dad, are you going to use these pebbles to hit a pheasant? Can you beat it to death?" Ya'er looked curious.

"Pheasants fly very fast. When you use a bow to hit a pheasant, you usually hit its legs or wings so that they can't run away and they can't be killed. Small birds such as sparrows are about the same," Du said.

He also started to talk about his strengths. When he was a child, life was even more difficult than now. He used to shoot sparrows with a bow and roast them.

The two men walked as they talked, and walked for more than 20 minutes before reaching the edge of the woods, "Ya'er, 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 to fight?" Du Daddy warned Ya'er.

Ya'er nodded, covered her mouth with her chubby little hands, and watched as Daddy Du rubbed Ya'er's little head. How could his daughter be so painful?

Du's father pulled Ya'er and continued to walk in. Now there were fallen leaves on the ground, and they made a quiet sound when stepping on them. Suddenly Du's father stopped, and Ya'er stepped on her toes and saw two colorful leaves not far away through the bushes.

Pheasants peck at grass seeds in the grass. It is late autumn now, and there are withered and yellow leaves everywhere. The colorful pheasants are particularly conspicuous.

Du Daddy glanced at Ya'er, Ya'er covered her mouth, and saw Du Daddy take out the bow from his arms, clamp it with a stone the size of a wine bottle cap from his pocket, straighten it with his right hand, and aim.

, put it down, and heard a sharp "clucking" sound and a thumping sound from the bushes. A fat pheasant fell in the grass, and the other one was frightened and ran into the bushes on the other side.

Gone.

"Wow, Daddy is great." Ya'er clapped her little fleshy hands and applauded Daddy Du. We were about 4 or 50 meters away from the pheasant, and Daddy Du was able to shoot it in the leg. It was a perfect hit.

[

"How about it, Dad didn't lie to you, he is very good. Practice makes perfect, Uncle Zhang. If he were to shoot a bow, he would definitely not be able to beat Dad and me." Dad Du went around and put the pheasant into the bag. He could finally feel proud.

.

"Well, well, daddy is the most powerful." How could Ya'er not know that daddy Du was a little jealous.

"This is a male pheasant. How about letting grandma make a feather shuttlecock for Ya'er when we get home?" Du's father asked.

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

Father Du weighed the pheasant in the bag. It weighed about 4 or 5 kilograms. He looked at the sun again. He originally wanted to get another one to send to Uncle Ya'er's house, but it was getting late and he returned home.

It's time to eat. Eat less at night. "Come on, Ya'er, let's go back. How about sending some chicken to my second uncle's house when we get home?" Du's father 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 have eaten it, and half of it will definitely not be enough." Ya'er covered it with a cloth bag from the space.

Two pheasants were handed to Du Daddy.

Du's father took the pheasant and put it together. He was holding the pheasant in one hand and holding Ya'er's little hand in the other. He thought to himself 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.

With family?

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

"Well, daddy, can I see a bow? I also want to learn how to shoot a bow." Ya'er became interested when she saw the bow in Du's waist. She didn't expect that such a small bow could hit a pheasant.

"Okay, our little darling, I will teach you if you follow my father's example, but you can't pull this bow." Father Du took out the bow and handed it to Ya'er, then squeezed Ya'er's fat arm and said with a smile.

Ya'er took the bow and looked at it carefully. It looked very ordinary. The fork of the bow was a jujube tree branch as thick as Du's finger. There were four thin strips cut from the inner belt of a bicycle wrapped around each side. The bow was about ten centimeters long.

The pocket is a small square piece of cowhide. Ya'er tried to pull it, but it didn't pull at all, which made her very frustrated. I thought that I was in good health and strong, but it turned out that I still couldn't.

Comparatively, my brothers can all pull it up.

"This is an eight-legged one. Daddy will make a simple one for Ya'er when he has time. I'll be able to pull it by then." Daddy Du couldn't help comforting Ya'er when he saw Ya'er's depressed face.

"Okay, daddy, if you have time, you can make one for me. Thank you, daddy." Ya'er became happy again and waved her little hand towards Daddy Du. Daddy Du quickly bent down, and Ya'er kissed Daddy Du with a "bah" sound.

This is what the two fathers often do. As soon as Ya'er waved, Du's father put his face up, and then Ya'er's soft little mouth kissed her face.

After going down the mountain to the hillside, I called Zhang Zeyuan and went home to eat with their respective harvests. Zhang Zeyuan was holding three pheasants in one hand and the collected herbs in the other. Looking at Father Du carrying Ya'er in front of him, the two men had something to say.

With laughter, my heart that had been restless for many years finally calmed down completely.
