The brother and sister, who had nothing to do, sat blankly under the tree in front of the open space.

The sun in the sky then climbed up, until it reached the center, and then gradually set towards the west.

"Little sister, are you hungry? Should we go find some food?"

Zhong Wen's stomach started growling again, around 2:30 in the afternoon.

"Brother, I'm a little hungry."

Xiaohua touched her belly, then looked at Zhong Wen, but the food at home was very expensive, so it was impossible to cook it for food. Even if the rabbit meat in the kitchen was equally expensive, it couldn't be eaten.

.

"Little sister, let's go and get something to eat, otherwise my stomach won't be able to bear it."

Zhong Wen went to the kitchen, came out with a kitchen knife, and carried a basket along with it. Zhong Wen didn't know what it was used for, so he was probably prepared.

Zhong Wen took Xiao Hua and walked toward the river in front of the village. As for what they were going to do, the brothers and sisters actually didn't know what to do. It was okay to just dig up something edible. Anyway, the mountains and forests were still there for the time being.

It's better not to go, so as not to be scolded by your parents.

When I came to the river, I looked up at the extension of the river. It was the place where the mountains were connected. It was a large wilderness, overgrown with thorns and weeds, and there were many snakes. This was also the place where the mountains were connected.

What I knew before.

As for the upper reaches of the river, there is a large rice field, and in the rice fields, there are many villagers busy.

Zhong Wen didn't know how long the river was. It was as wide as seven or eight meters wide. As for how deep it was, Zhong Wen didn't know, because he had never been in it and couldn't swim at all.

"Brother, what are we doing?"

Xiaohua looked at the water in the river and looked around again. Apart from the weeds and thorns in the wasteland, there was nothing to see here.

"Little sister, have you seen those little tender bamboo shoots? Let's pick some and cook them into porridge. You can also pick and peel those thorny shoots."

Zhong Wen looked at it casually, pointed at some young bamboo shoots by the river, and introduced them to Xiao Hua.

Although these things are not rare things, they are rarely eaten at home. Moreover, Zhong Mugen and his wife rarely pick these young bamboo shoots to eat.

Xiaohua looked at the thorns in front of her and wanted to reach out to pick some, but the sharp thorns on the thorns blocked her little arms.

"Xiaohua, help me carry the basket on one side. I'll cut some off here first."

Zhong Wen swung his kitchen knife and began to chop the thorns in front of him. Although the kitchen knife was not very powerful, the progress was not bad.

Two quarters of an hour later, Zhong Wen and his sister had picked less than half of the basket of young bamboo shoots.

By the way, I also ate a lot of thorn sprouts. Although it didn't fill my stomach, it could offset some of my hunger.

It's just that there is no iron hoe at home. Otherwise, Zhong Wen would have dug up some roots from the ground with his hoe and ate them. There are many edible wild plants on the ground, and some of them taste pretty good, at least in Zhong Wen's case.

Wen still knows some things from his past life memories.

Zhong Wen wondered if he should also make a useful little hoe. Even if he didn't do much work, it would still be good to dig some roots and eat them.

If you want to do it, you have to be tight on time. Zhong Wen directly wielded the kitchen knife and chopped down a small tree as thick as a small arm.

As for this small tree, today is probably the end of her life, because Zhong Wen has only one thought in her heart, and that is to make a small hoe, and this small tree, for Zhong Wen, is

The most appropriate choice.

There were not too many small trees near the river, so Zhong Wen had no choice but to choose a nearby one.

Half an hour later, Zhong Wen had already cut down the small tree, removed the branches and leaves, and walked home carrying the basket and flowers.

On the way home, Zhong Wen thought about coming over to catch some fish tomorrow. He didn't know if he could catch fish in this small river. However, he had never seen anyone fishing in the small village, only when there was a flood.

Only when the time comes, you will see some small swimming fish in the rice fields, and the villagers will catch them for food. As for catching fish in the river, it seems that the villagers have never done this.

When Zhong Wen returned home, he began to make a small wooden hoe of his own.

Although the trunk of the small tree was a bit hard, it couldn't resist Zhong Wen's patience and ideas. In addition to using a kitchen knife, he used all the sickles at home.

Xiaohua stood aside quietly, not knowing what her brother was doing. Although there were questions in her little head, she did not ask any questions at this time.

For Xiaohua, her brother has been the best in the past few days. He can make hare traps, wood chips, copy scriptures, and protect himself. To Xiaohua, these things were nothing before.

Never before.

The smell of rabbit meat hanging in the kitchen has been lingering around the tip of Xiaohua's nose, as if it has never dissipated. Xiaohua is just curious about what her brother is doing now, but she will not interrupt or ask, but she is fantasizing in her heart.

For dinner, can my mother-in-law order more rabbit meat?

After half an hour, Zhong Wen finally made a small wooden hoe.

I held it in my hand and waved it around a few times, and it felt good. Although it was a little rough, it was at least usable.

"Brother, it turns out you made a hoe? Show it to me."

Xiaohua finally saw what Zhong Wen was making. It turned out that she was just holding a small hoe. She put aside her curiosity, but she also wanted to feel the freshness brought by a small hoe.

Zhong Wen then handed the small hoe to Xiao Hua, took out some hemp strips from the basket, and prepared to get some silk threads out, planning to catch some fish to eat tomorrow.

Xiao Hua was waving a newly made small wooden hoe like a little girl practicing martial arts. Zhong Wen took a look at it and continued his work.

Half an hour later, Zhong Mugen and his wife came back from the field. They had the same wild vegetables at about the same time, but it was a little later today.

"Xiao Wen, did you pick these young bamboo shoots? Yes, they can be chopped into pieces and cooked with wild vegetables to make some porridge."

Xiu saw the young bamboo shoots in the small basket at the door of the kitchen, looked back at her two little children, and felt warm in her heart.

"Mom, I picked some too. There are a lot of them near the river, but there are just a lot of thorn vines."

Xiaohua raised her little head and responded to my mother, looking like I am also very powerful.

Zhong Wen almost laughed when he saw Xiao Hua looking like this. Fortunately, Zhong Wen held it in, otherwise he might have laughed out loud.

Zhong Mugen then looked at the things in front of the clearing, picked up a small wooden hoe, and some silk hemp, thinking that his son didn't know what he wanted to do.

After the meal, as usual, as soon as it got dark, Zhong Mugen closed the doors of the kitchen and the house, and the family of four went into the thatched house to sleep.

Without the oil lamp, everything looked so dark, which made Zhong Wen a little uncomfortable at first, but fortunately, over the past few days, Zhong Wen gradually accepted this kind of life.

The night is quiet, as quiet as Sleeping Beauty, and the chirping of insects and frogs makes this isolated small village look extremely beautiful.

But just when everyone was about to fall asleep, roars came from the forest at the back of the village.

Zhong Mugen, who was about to fall asleep, was awakened by the roar. He quickly got up and checked the door. He also touched two pieces of wood from the side and placed them on the door frame.

Several other people on the thatched mat also became nervous.

The roaring in the forest behind the village was unusually rapid, and I don’t know why.

Zhong Wen had already sat up. Hearing the roar, he was sure it was the roar of the King of the Mountain and Forest.

"Don't be afraid, mom and dad are here, just lie down and sleep."

At this moment, Xiu hugged Xiao Hua on one side, then reached out and held Zhong Wen in her arms, comforting the children.

Xiaohua was a little nervous, but Zhong Wen seemed to be fine, quietly listening to the roar from the back mountain.

After Zhong Mugen made sure that there was nothing wrong with the door, he touched a wooden stick from one side and held it in his hand, then returned to the thatched mat.

"Don't be afraid, that tiger is probably just passing by."

Zhong Mugen then sat down, but he also tightened the stick in his hand, fearing that the tiger would run into the village and head towards his home.

Zhong Wen has been accustomed to such things for as long as he can remember. Every six months, something like this always happens in the mountains and forests behind him.

It might be said that he is used to it, but it is not a problem. It is just because Zhong Wen has never seen a real tiger, and he is just curious.

In addition, Zhong Wen's two memories were intertwined at this time, and he became even more curious about the tiger in the mountain.

In his previous life, Zhong Wen had never even been to the zoo, let alone seen the king beast in the mountains, and probably never even seen a wild wolf.

The roar of the tiger kept coming continuously.

If Zhong Wen had a golden finger, he might have opened the door of his house wide and rushed into the forest, so as to see the majestic appearance of the king of the forest.

But at this time, Zhong Wen did not dare to say anything and tried to avoid making any noise. Who knew whether the tiger would break into the village, wreak havoc, or even come to his own home. If he really wanted to kill the tiger, he would die.

It's under the tiger's mouth.

Half an hour later, the roar of tigers stopped coming from the forest behind the mountain.

The family then began to lie down and sleep.

But Zhong Mugen didn't dare to be careless. No matter what, as the pillar of the family and the only strong man, he had to pay some attention, even if he took precautions.

After another half an hour, the roar of the tiger in the forest had disappeared, and the family of four fell asleep peacefully.

The night passed, but the four of them spent their time nervously and half asleep.

The sky was getting brighter, but the four members of the family did not get up. They were still lying on the thatched mat, sleeping soundly.

As the rooster crows in the village, Zhong Wen's family begins to get up from the thatched mat.

Zhong Mugen got up first, holding the wooden stick in his hand, leaning his head and looking out of the crack in the door. After confirming that there was no danger, he opened the door.

Those who should go to the ground should go to the ground, and those who should stay at home should stay at home.

The roar of the tiger last night has become a topic of conversation among the villagers, and it has also become a direction that the villagers need to be wary of.

At this time, Zhong Wen was fishing with Xiao Hua by the river.

After getting up, Zhong Wen dug up some earthworms and made a float along the way. As for the fishing rod, it was naturally a slender bamboo on the edge of the river. As for the fishhook, he could only use some barbs on thorns.

.

"Brother, brother, it's moving, it's moving."

Xiaohua had been staring at the float above the river, but now she was dragged down into the water and sank.

With a "whoosh" sound, Zhong Wen quickly lifted the fishing rod.

An unknown fish, the size of a small palm, was lifted up.

"Brother, you are the best, with such a big fish."

Xiaohua saw the small fish being caught and watched Zhong Wen untying the hook. She imagined in her heart that she would eat two bowls of porridge today. It would be best to boil the small fish together so that it would be delicious.

"Little sister, please stay away from me, so as not to catch you with this fishhook."
