Chapter 117 Not from my own family!
This idea coincides with Liu Biaotou's. He would go crazy if he was trapped in a cave every day.
"What a good idea. I've been thinking about this for the past few days. If you don't come, I'll go over and talk to you."
He pulled a branch and started drawing on the ground.
"These dozens of mountains are connected into a piece. In fact, the overall look is a bit like a pea. Let's come in from the tail of the bean, and the top of the bean is the Jinsha River. Now we stay here. If I guessed correctly, it is the thinnest waist of the bean. As long as we go east, maybe we can see people after climbing four or five mountains."
The village chief frowned, a little worried.
It’s been a month since everyone broke into the forest, and no one’s hand has been broken. It’s really not easy.
When the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, it would be too dangerous if you go out for a walk and accidentally get delayed somewhere.
“Let’s take a long-term view. It won’t be too late to go out and check after spring.”
Li Laosi and Liu Biaotou looked at each other, both wanting to give it a try.
Liu Biaotou said, "Uncle Village Chief, we don't need more people. It's just me and Lao Si who will go out. With our ability, we are not afraid even if we encounter some difficulties."
"No, dad, take me and Jiayi with you!" Liu Yang listened and stopped immediately.
Jiayi also stepped forward and nodded wildly, "Yes, we are going too."
Liu Biaotou slapped his son, smiled and scolded him, "Go away while we talk about business."
Liu Yang started to make a fuss, "We are all adults now that we can hunt. Why can't we just listen to business?"
"Yes, if you don't agree, we will follow you secretly." Jiayi also supported.
Like Liu Yang's brothers, he longed to wear a pair of trousers, so of course he had to advance and retreat together at this time.
Everyone was dumbfounded by the trouble made by these two boys. The village chief thought for a while and said.
“You can go if you want. Everyone is in Maodong, so there is no danger. But you must remember not to go too far, and go back early.”
“Okay, uncle, we are also thinking about home and we will not go too far.”
Even after this matter was settled, all the caves were happy after hearing about it, and they were all wondering what it was like outside.
The barbarians retreated, but they had already reached the Jinsha River. They even vaguely hoped that the capital would not move south.
Although everyone knows that this is unlikely...
On the second day, Liu Biaotou and Li Laosi took their family and Liu Yang and set off.
They were also relying on their ability. They only had a few sorghum flour cakes stuffed in their arms, but they were fully equipped with bows, arrows and long knives.
This means that after going out, all food and drink must be found in the forest.
Of course the Li family was concerned about it, but they knew they couldn't stop it, so they simply let it go.
As a result, the two of them went into the woods and did not come back for seven or eight days.
No matter how much the Li family believes in the abilities of Li Laosi and Liu Biaotou, they can no longer sit still.
The entrance of the cave was blocked by two layers of straw curtains, which made the cave a little dark.
Fortunately, there was firewood on the stove and there was barely any light.
The pot was half filled with water, and the sides of the pot were sizzling and steaming.
Old Mrs. Li hugged her granddaughter, quietly opened the curtain, and looked out into the mountains and forests.
It’s a pity that I looked again and again, but still couldn’t see anyone.
Old Mrs. Li couldn't help but regret, "I shouldn't have let the fourth child and Jiayi go out. It's snowing so heavily. Even if they suffer, it's hard to survive."
The square table at home is placed next to the earthen stove. There is a smooth stone slab on the table. Jiaren has a brush in his left hand and is dipping it in water to practice writing with his left hand.
He is a person who can endure hardships. In just a few days, he has already written well.
Jia Huan sat next to his brother, cracking hazelnuts and walnuts with a small stone, and put the selected nuts into a small bowl. This was a snack for his sister.
Seeing Grandma like this, Jiaren said, "Grandma, don't worry, the village chief has said that if Fourth Uncle and the others don't come back tomorrow, they will send someone to greet them."
Jia Huan also nodded, "The fourth uncle is the most powerful, so he will definitely be fine."
Li Laosan was sitting on the edge of the thatched bed, polishing a two-story wooden shelf in his hand, ready to put dishes, chopsticks and sundries at home. He also responded, "Yes, mother, I will follow you when the time comes and I will definitely bring back the fourth child."
Old Mrs. Li sighed. She was very afraid that her youngest son and grandson would not be picked up, so she took her third son in again.
Jiayin looked quietly at the mountains and forests outside, without any feeling of panic. She guessed that her father and the others would be fine, so she hugged her grandma's neck and cried out that she was thirsty, intending to divert her attention.
Sure enough, Mrs. Li quickly went to look for a small jar in the corner.
The jar contains wild honey obtained from the forest earlier. The family keeps it and occasionally drinks it with water for good news.
At this moment, Mrs. Li mixed some warm water and made a large bowl.
After a few sips of the good news, he waved his chubby hands and called his brother over.
Jiaxi Jia'an swallowed greedily and quietly looked at her grandma who didn't object. Then she smiled and moved closer to her sister.
Three brothers and sisters, you drank one mouthful and I drank the honey water quickly.
Mrs. Li picked up her sewing basket and pierced the soles of her shoes. After all, because her granddaughter was well-behaved, she could not worry about her troubled son for the time being.
When I got up early the next day, the sky was a little gloomy, and the old people said they were afraid of heavy snow again.
At this time, everyone in the village couldn't sit still.
The young men in each cave came down from the cave, gathered together to discuss, and hurried into the mountain to greet Li Laosi and the others.
possible
The village chief walked around in front of people with his hands behind his back, holding the pipe pot, and said with a frown.
“You can’t have too many people there. After all, there are people of all ages here, so we have to be on guard.”
He nodded to Li Lao San and said, "Lao San, can you take five or six people with you?"
"It's okay, Uncle Village Chief, we'll set off now and be back soon." Li Laosan was already dressed neatly, with a hatchet in his hand, a rope tied around his waist, and more than 20 pieces of dry food in the bag on his back. pancake.
He turned to the villagers and said, "If anyone's family can let go temporarily, please come with me. Our family will provide dry food."
Immediately, five or six villagers stood up. They were all close to the Li family and often hunted with Li Laosi.
With a simple tidying up, these people are about to go into the woods.
At this time, someone in the cave suddenly shouted loudly, "There seems to be a shadow in the woods!"
Everyone immediately became happy. Li Laosan raised his leg and was about to run forward, but was stopped by the village chief.
As people get older, they become more cautious.
The village chief advised, "Wait a little longer and see if it's Lao Si and the others?"
How could there be anyone else walking around in such a deep mountain and old forest except for them?
Everyone felt that the village chief was too timid, but they did not object.
But after waiting and waiting, the people in the forest did not come out, and the people in the cave no longer saw their shadows, as if everything just now was like an illusion.
But the villager insisted, "I can't be wrong. There are indeed figures, but four or five, I can't tell them apart!"
Li Laosan couldn't wait any longer. He held the hatchet tightly and said, "I'll go take a look first!"
Whenever he moves, the villagers will of course follow him.
So, a few people stepped on the snow and entered the forest.
After walking for more than half an hour, Li Laosan, a good-tempered person, became a little anxious.
Did the villagers really see it wrong?
At this moment, a human figure appeared from behind the big tree not far away.
Li Laosan and others were happy and wanted to call someone, but unfortunately their expressions changed in the next moment!
No, this is not my family...
