Chapter 65： into the mountains

The expressions of envy, jealousy and hatred of his younger brothers made him very useful.

His arrogant, cheerful face made the three of them want to beat him again and again. After he repeatedly promised to share with them what they had seen and heard when he came back, everyone let him go again. .

Seeing the boss running out excitedly, Pei Xiu didn't stop her, and said to Zhou Cheng: ''How many days are you going to go? My son is still young, so don't go into the mountains. ''

''I know in my heart that I won't go into the deep mountains. I will pay attention to mark the places where there are big guys, and I will avoid them. Come back in seven days at most, don't worry. ''

''Then you go to Master Zhou's house while it's still light, and ask for a leave for your son. I'm going to pack up your clothes, shoes and socks. '' After that, he went back to the house.

After going in for a while, he came out again and called Zhou Cheng to stop, ''Wait a while, I almost forgot, I will decorate you with silver needles, dried bamboo shoots, and some dried black fungus, you can bring it to Master Zhou. It's not good to come empty-handed. '' There is nothing else in the house, but now the bean sprouts and bamboo shoots are the most dried, and the black fungus was picked and dried by a few children who went to the mountains before.

Zhou Chengcheng stepped out with half a foot, and went back to the kitchen to get it.

Zhou Fuzi likes silver needle dishes very much, and often asks Zhou Yi to bring money to exchange them. Recently, he likes fried pork with bamboo shoots. The freshness, crispness and tenderness are very appetizing, and scholars and scholars always have a preference for bamboo. He wrote to some friends. After sharing it, everyone envied him for his oral intake, and they all thought of going to the mountain to dig.

Looking at the dishes that Zhou Cheng brought over, Master Zhou was very satisfied. He had never eaten any big fish and meat at his age, so he liked these fresh things.

Knowing his intentions, Zhou Confucius simply agreed. After all, the child is still young and is still in the stage of literacy, so it doesn't matter if he takes a few days off. Moreover, Zhou Yong is a little better than many children. What's more, following his father into the mountains can also gain some knowledge and exercise courage. If it wasn't for the fear that his eldest grandson would not be able to take it back from a trip, he would love martial arts and not learn Chinese since then, and he also wanted Zhou Cheng Take it to exercise together.

Zhou Yi is different from Zhou Yong. The family has high expectations for Zhou Yi, hoping that he will be able to serve in the imperial examinations. So it's better for him to do it step by step.

Early the next morning, Zhou Yi went to Zhou Yong's house for morning exercises as usual, but it happened that Zhou Cheng and the others hadn't left. He was waiting for Pei Xiu to prepare breakfast for them. Originally, he thought he would just deal with the two of them by himself, but his daughter-in-law just wanted to get up and spread some pancakes for them.

He couldn't go out for the time being, so he called a few children up for morning exercises as usual. Zhou Yong was no exception. He moved his muscles and bones before going out.

He also wiped his knives and arrows again. They have been used for more than ten years, and they are no longer new, but they have accompanied him for so many years, and they are his partners, partners, and a part that cannot be abandoned.

''Where is Uncle Zhou going with a knife and a bow and arrow? '' Zhou Yi didn't know yet, but he felt puzzled when he saw it.

Zhou Yong squatted on a horse and did not forget to show off to him: ''My father is going to take me into the mountains, we are going to the deep mountains for several days, then I will bring you some prey and come back. ''

Zhou Yi was so envious that he really wanted to go, but he also knew that his grandfather would definitely disagree,'' Uncle Zhou, if I persuade my grandfather next time, can you take me there. ''

Zhou Cheng glanced at him, ''Yes, as long as your grandfather agrees, you must know that it is different from a hammer. ''

''I see. ’’ In the six months since he came to the village, he has lived a different life than before.

''I fried a few pancakes and boiled ten eggs. Now that the weather is not hot, I can keep them there. You can eat them for two days. '' Pei Xiu put them in a backpack and packed them.

Zhou Cheng put the basket on Zhou Yong's back, he carried a big sword and bow and arrow, and told them not to be lazy, and they should practice as usual when he was not at home. After that, I left early before dawn.

As soon as Zhou Cheng and the others walked away, the boys became dishonest and sat on the ground. Pei Xiu took the whip and slapped her back, ''Don't be lazy, your father told me to keep an eye on you, get up quickly, you need perseverance to practice martial arts, do you know that? ''

A few children resigned themselves to their fate and squatted honestly. Pei Xiu went in and spread the egg pancakes for them. The house was running out of eggs. I just boiled ten for them and took them away. The cake is good, nutritious and delicious.

Smelling the fragrant smell, they turned their heads frequently to see that Xiao Zhou Heng was small, and Pei Xiu didn't force him too much. Seeing him running over, he didn't say anything, so let him take a breath first.

''Mother, what are you cooking? It's delicious. '' The little man had to stand on tiptoe and craned his neck to look.

Pei Xiu looked at this swarthy head and asked him to stand aside and get so close, some of them cried when the oil splashed on their bodies, and asked him to play with a knife first.

The brothers saw that he had all run away, and he couldn't squat any longer, sitting on the ground one by one, panting heavily.

Pei Xiu asked them to practice a set of knife skills one by one, and then they had breakfast.

The eldest brother is not at home, and the two children always feel that something is missing and listless. They have lived together since childhood~ They are used to having him play with them. Zhou Shan also liked this eldest brother who would protect him, and he started as soon as he left. miss him. Zhou Yi is also, since he came to this village, he and Zhou Yong have never known each other, and the two have been in and out of the same village. Looking at the group of younger brothers around him, he sighed, alas, let's help him take the younger brothers to school.

After they left, Pei Xiu also had nothing to do. The children were sent to school every day, so she went for a walk in the fields, and then went up the hill.

Last night, the rabbit at home gave birth, six in a litter. It was discovered by Zhou Heng. Every day before going to school, the child had to see when the mother rabbit was born. Pei Xiu didn't find out, she waited for them to go out before going to feed the chickens and rabbits.

Since the children went to school, she asked them to feed the chickens and rabbits after school, and she did it during the day. Looking at the naked meat **** and the hairless bunnies, the children were very curious. They had never seen a bunnie look like this, and they wanted to touch but dared not touch it.

''Go to school quickly, and when you come back from school, feed the bunnies to eat vegetables. They are afraid of life when they are just born, so don't scare them here. ''

A few reluctantly left, chatting and chanting Bunny all the way.

Pei Xiu met Zhou's sister-in-law on her way to do laundry. She said that Zhou Yu's marriage was scheduled for the sixth day of April. She was surprised, how did she set this time, and the wheat would be harvested in a short time. The Chen family was too careless. No wonder Sister-in-law Zhou forced a smile on her face and didn't come to the door to announce the good news. She only spoke when she met on the road.

Pei Xiu comforted and said: ''The Chen family has a lot of land, and there are scholars, so it's normal for the family to be busy. At least Zhou Yu married and Chen Jiaming has someone to take care of them, so they don't need to divide the staff. ''

Sister-in-law Zhou smiled sincerely, saying that the Chen family also said the same.
