This is the kind of character Wu Laogui has. He always finds words to highlight his presence even if he has nothing to say. However, Brother Chengxin, who has always been gentle and calm, seems to be at odds with Wu Laogui. In short, Wu Laogui talks nonsense and Chengxin Brother Xin couldn't hold it in anymore and said: "How can you still be cold? Can you be tired from floating? Come on, don't you know how to go and rest in a jar? Isn't it going to suffocate you to death if you don't speak?"
Wu Laogui glanced at Brother Chengxin as if he was very calm and too lazy to argue with you. He pretended to tug on his floral suit that was actually invisible, adjusted his sunglasses, and faced Brother Chengxin. He snorted and floated back into the jar. Then, Old Ghost Wu's voice came from the jar: "No one has ever died since ancient times. To put it mildly, who dares to say that he can still be a ghost in the future? No way! Are you the only one who can be cold? Are you the only one who can be tired? Huh, how dare you look down on a ghost."
Brother Chengxin's smile became stiff, and he threw the small jar to me, and then said: "Stay away and delete it (stay away from me, get out)."
I took the jar, stuffed it into my bag, and said, "Don't talk nonsense here. I'm not that good-tempered, and the ritual of enshrining it doesn't work on me."
Sure enough, it was quiet in the jar. I pulled Ruxue, smiled and patted Brother Chengxin on the shoulder, and said, "Actually, it's not bad to argue. At least, look at how quickly your Northeastern dialect has improved."
Brother Chengxin hummed a few words with a smile on his face, was too lazy to say anything more, turned around and went on the road, probably because he was very angry with this old ghost.
After all, Lao Zhang doesn't talk much. After he got used to it, he didn't avoid these things. Just imagine that after being entrusted with dreams for so many years, he should be able to know that there are things in this world that ordinary people don't know. Deliberate avoidance is not honest. .
I thought Lao Zhang was just like usual this time and pretended not to see it, but in fact, he frowned slightly and opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything in the end, but I saw it.
He didn't mention it, and I didn't mention it either. I just held Ruxue's hand and hurried away. Ruxue and I have known each other for so many years and have always restrained each other. It was only when we got closer that I discovered that love is a seed. As long as the environment is suitable, No matter how much you restrain it, it still grows wildly, just like a vine in summer. If you shake your head, it can already climb the entire wall. Just like these days, Ruxue and I have become clearly intimate and ambiguous. It's just that they don't want to tell each other.
I held her hand. At first, I just felt sorry for her, and I also felt that men should take care of women. I just held her hand like this. After a few minutes of driving, my heart started to beat again, even though I kept telling myself that this was not an ambiguous and intimate relationship. Action, but the emotions rushed from the bottom of my heart to my brain, and then it became hot. Then my body also became hot, and my palms actually started to ooze with sweat.
As if she felt something, Ruxue calmly took her hand out of mine and said, "Just help me carry the package. I can do it. If I can't, I will speak up."
When she said this, she still had the same calm expression, but I could clearly see a trace of sadness in her eyes. Women are always more sensitive and slender than men. I can carelessly think that getting along with each other is happiness. Even if my feelings are surging, I am not too lazy. After thinking about it so much, no matter what, restraint, Ruxue is not enough after all. Since there is no result, since it has been 'luxury' for half a year, why bother? We can only keep a line to get along with each other, just like people standing on both sides of a cliff looking at each other from a distance, so close but separated by a natural chasm.
I felt sad for a moment and tried hard not to think about it, but the atmosphere had become awkward. Brother Chengxin, who understood all this, wanted to adjust it, but was helpless and unable to do so. He also fell into a kind of sadness, thinking of Shen Xing again. ? A promise for the next life!
Lao Zhang is a man of few words, or he doesn't want to pay attention to the thoughts of us young people. After all, he has been through most of his life and has long ignored many things. He just led us on our way.
Occasionally say a few words: "There is a small road going up the mountain. It is easy to walk. It is a road after all. It is an easy day. Work harder. I will get you some game for a hot meal tonight." .”
Climbing up in this cold weather, Lao Zhang's words undoubtedly gave us a shot in the arm. Thinking of hot water, warm fire, and hot meals, we even felt more energetic when walking.
We set off at about 9 o'clock in the morning, and it was not until 6 o'clock in the afternoon when it was already dark that we arrived at the place where Big Brother's son mentioned. From a distance, we saw a small wooden house on stilts standing there, just like what I imagined. The night watch shacks in the fields of Sichuan are naturally far different.
After entering the house, Lao Zhang quickly raised the fire pit with the help of a flashlight, then found two oil lamps, found an oil pot in the corner of the house, added oil, and lit the oil lamps. .
After doing this, the house became bright and warm. Only then did I see that this cabin was much better than I imagined. There was a large wooden bed beside the wall, and the wooden bed was covered with unknown animal skins. , it seemed to be sewn together from leftover materials. I looked carefully and it seemed to be rabbit skin spores or something.
There was a big table by the window. There were some odds and ends on the table. I saw some condiments and so on.
The main feature of the house is a fire pit, with a large pot hanging on the fire pit. In short, basic daily necessities can be used here.
Lao Zhang took out some tobacco, lit it next to the fire pit, took two puffs, and then asked Brother Chengxin and I if we wanted some? Brother Chengxin and I can't smoke dry cigarettes, although the smell makes me feel very friendly. Master also smokes this.
"I don't smoke at home, and I have to complain about it, but when I go into the mountains, I can't help it. Speaking of which, this Orion is the most considerate of Orions. In this hut in the mountains, you can avoid the cold, drink some hot water, and prepare some Seasonings can sometimes save a person's life. Therefore, these shacks are always equipped with these things. Whoever uses them will be replenished next time they go into the mountains. If they cannot be replenished, some money and materials will be left behind. This is what it means . I’m going to rest for a while and wait a minute to get two snowshoe rabbits to eat.” Lao Zhang was smoking a dry cigarette and talking to us.
Brother Chengxin is a foodie and couldn't help but say: "Lao Zhang, I heard that the grouse in this old forest is delicious. How do you hunt rabbits at night? Can you get grouse?"
Lao Zhang said with a smile: "Snowshoe rabbits are the most common here. Who said these rabbits can give birth? Grouse and the like are very rare in the outer reaches of the mountains. It depends on luck. I will talk about this later. , there was an unnatural expression on Lao Zhang's face, and then he said: "As you go deeper, you will be lucky enough to see many animals. As for how to catch rabbits at night, I definitely have a way. You can just wait." "
After saying this, Lao Zhang stared at us with rare nervousness. I just thought about it briefly and understood what Lao Zhang was thinking. When I looked at Brother Chengxin and Ruxue, they naturally understood that their thoughts were comparable. I am lively.
I can’t deny anything. Thinking of Lao Zhang’s hesitant look on the road, I felt that Lao Zhang had something to ask us tonight, so I didn’t say anything more. Let’s have a good talk with Lao Zhang in the evening. At least you can't force others.
Sure enough, seeing that we didn't express our position, Lao Zhang became even more unnatural. He looked a little worried on his face, but he didn't say anything and went out with his shotgun and his bag of things.
I insisted on going with Lao Zhang, mainly because I felt that I was not too tired, and I was also curious about how Lao Zhang could hunt rabbits, so I followed him. I thanked Master for laying a good foundation for me since I was a child, so I wanted to follow him. Lao Zhang learned both skills. Maybe I would like to live in the mountains in the future? Nor will he starve to death.
Lao Zhang hesitated for a moment and said: "Sure, there aren't any powerful guys outside anyway, so there's no danger, so just keep up."
Ruxue climbed onto the big wooden bed and curled up to sleep under the warm firelight. As for Brother Chengxin, he took out a medical book that looked to be some years old and started reading it. They were not interested in going with him, so I followed him. Zhang left.
They walked in silence all the way, and before they regained consciousness, they were already approaching the night forest from the path.
In the forest at night, with a flashlight on, Lao Zhang was walking in front and said to me: "Follow my steps to avoid stepping into the snow."
I was just about to ask what Xuewozi was, when I suddenly heard a loud chirping sound, followed by a "puffing" sound, and then I saw a large shadow passing not far above my head, which really shocked me. , and looking carefully, a huge strange bird was parked on a short tree not far over there.
I didn't recognize what kind of bird it was, and before I could say anything, Lao Zhang said eagerly and carefully: "Don't make any noise, be careful, this is the 'stick' here."
Stick, what
