The sun's shadow is slanting to the west. In front of Changlin Village is a large area of ​​green farmland. Behind the village is a large green mountain. The village is surrounded by bamboo forests, as if it is a small kingdom hidden in the bamboo forest.

A compacted dirt road extends from the village entrance to the farmland, passes through the hole-shaped stone bridge, and then disappears on the hillside. This is the only road for the village to pass through the outside world.

Lin Haoran walked from the field to the village archway, and stood under the village archway for a while, looking at the hillside over there in a daze, feeling an inexplicable sense of worry in his heart.

After a long while, he sighed, turned around, walked through the bamboo forest, and returned to the village.

His home was at the west end of the village. He could reach his home quickly after passing through the two grain-drying fields, but he went deeper into the village instead.

There is no idle land in the world, and farmers are still starving to death!

He originally wanted to do something casual, but he could only wander among the thatched huts in the village. Jiangcun Village was full of blue brick houses, Jiang Mansion was even more luxurious with attics, but Changlin Village was all thatched huts, even if the old patriarch’s family

is also like this.

After walking around the village, he saw families in distress, and even patients suffering from edema due to lack of salt. Almost no family here lived a satisfactory life.

In the end, he could only return empty-handed and depressed, and he was even more certain that this was a poor mountain village. Even if the villagers allowed him to scrape the ground in the village, he might not be able to find a few valuable things.

"Brother, you are back!"

Huniu saw him coming back through the courtyard gate, and immediately ran out happily. The afterglow of the setting sun shone from the west, illuminating half of her face red, and she looked very beautiful.

Lin Haoran's depression was immediately swept away. Looking at this red face with beads of sweat hanging on her forehead, knowing that she had been sitting in front of the door waiting for a long time, he couldn't help but touch her head, her eyes were full of tenderness.

If I had complained about this remote place before, everything had disappeared the moment I saw my sister.

The relationship between the two is getting deeper and deeper, and they have more topics to talk about.

He gradually discovered that Huniu was actually a bit gossipy and couldn't hold back her words. Before she even entered the door, she was chattering about picking up wild duck eggs. They didn't believe the stones, so she took the duck eggs.

After giving it to them, they were so envious.

Huniu was beaming with joy as she spoke, foam was flying everywhere, and her face was even redder.

In fact, there is also comparison in the world of children. Today she finally got a sense of superiority. She has wild duck eggs, but others do not.

It smells so good!

As soon as Lin Haoran entered the room, he smelled a strong fragrance and couldn't help but drooled.

Huniu's eyes brightened, and she immediately trotted to the Eight Immortals table, opened the pottery lid with a hole in it, and neatly poured out two bowls of delicious chicken soup from the pottery pot. The chicken soup also had a few mushrooms, which made him even more confused.

Although some families in the village raise chickens, they are undoubtedly the lifeblood of each family. And he has already inquired that the villagers are reluctant to eat chickens and usually sell them in the town, but where does his family get the chicken soup?

Seeing his confused look, Huniu suddenly realized it and immediately started gesticulating excitedly.

It turned out that today's bird trap was successful, and a prey was indeed caught, which was a golden pheasant weighing one and a half kilograms. When Huniu discovered that the golden pheasant was caught, she was so happy that she immediately brought the golden pheasant back secretly.

When she got home, she started boiling water, cooked the chicken soup herself, and then sat at the door waiting for him to come back.

I see!

Lin Haoran suddenly realized that he had previously thought that the prey broke free from the rope and escaped, but he didn't know that Hu Niu had retrieved it. When he thought that the trap was effective, his mood immediately improved.

Zhi...

The long-awaited fresh chicken soup entered his stomach, with the aroma of wild mushrooms. Lin Haoran felt that his whole body came to life, and the fatigue of the day was wiped away. Moreover, he had never felt that chicken soup could be so delicious.

Bah!

Huniu dealt with the chicken drumstick that Lin Haoran put into her bowl. She first licked the soup on it, then dug her teeth into the chicken and pulled off a large piece. She chewed it with her mouth. The fragrant smell almost made her bite.

To the tongue.

When she swallowed the deliciously smooth chicken in her mouth, her eyes got wet unconsciously, not because she was sad, but because she felt that everything was like a dream.

She has not forgotten that last year's New Year's Eve dinner only had a little bit of meat, which was not enough for the two of them to fill their teeth. Moreover, she gave it all to her brother at that time, and her stomach had not touched the smell of oil for a long time.

But at this moment, they were sharing a whole chicken, and she got to eat the chicken drumsticks she had always dreamed of, even though they were a little thinner.

"It will be better!"

Lin Haoran saw her reaction in his eyes and secretly made a determination in his heart to set a higher goal.

It was this little golden pheasant that made the two of them seem to be immersed in a sea of ​​happiness.

That night on the broken bed in the hut, Lin Haoran planned to capture his sister with a fairy tale, and chose a fairy tale that was once popular all over the world - "Cinderella".

"A long time ago, in a certain town..." Lin Haoran spoke slowly and confidently.

"How long? Decades or hundreds of years? In which town?" Huniu interrupted him and asked seriously.

Well……

Lin Haoran didn't want to get off to a bad start, so he was immediately troubled, but his ability to tell lies was his strength: "Five hundred years ago, there was a small town called Dongguan!"

Dongguan, this was a name that came out of his mouth. When he first said it, he actually regretted it and glanced at Huniu guiltily, but he soon breathed a sigh of relief.

"Five hundred years ago!" Hu Niu said with disappointment, feeling that this story was too old, and she preferred fresh gossip.

Lin Haoran felt that this little girl would be unable to stop after experiencing the power of fairy tales, so he ignored her disappointment and continued to speak: "There is a very cute girl. She is not only smart and beautiful, but also kind-hearted..."

"How old is she? Is she as big as me? What else is cute?" Huniu interrupted him again and asked curiously.

Well……

Lin Haoran was stuck again. The previous problems were easy to solve, but he was a little confused later: "The cute thing is... stop this question, you didn't ask it like that!"

Huniu nodded obediently, but then there were new questions. When it came to the stepmother's two sisters, the questions became even more. It was endless, just like the police checking the household registration.

Baby.

Although he is good at making up lies, one lie often requires countless lies to make up for it, and the final result is often speechless, and he has to take up the dignity of his brother and say again, "You didn't ask that."

", blaming her for asking such a question.

Whenever this happens, Hu Niu will shut up obediently, but within two seconds, there will definitely be a new problem.

The bright moon leaves the branches frightened, and the cicadas chirp in the midnight breeze.

It was late at night, with a bright moon hanging high in the sky. The sounds in a certain hut finally stopped, and a plump little girl lay on the bed, snoring slightly, with saliva overflowing from the corner of her mouth.

The story of "Cinderella" was finally told, why use "finally"? Because the process was arduous and tortuous, he almost wanted to go up the mountain with a knife to chop wood, thinking that it would be easier to chop wood.

Before Lin Haoran closed his eyes, he secretly swore in his heart that he would never tell fairy tales again. The charm of fairy tales is a lie. He would have to cross the ocean to kill Andersen one day!

In the morning, you can see the water flowing eastward, and in the evening, you can see the sun setting in the west.

There will always be some surprises in the days to come, especially when Lin Haoran went to Jiang Mansion to sell firewood. Because the old lady of Jiang Mansion was about to pass her birthday, the price of firewood per load increased to four cents.

The difference between four pennies and three pennies is actually only one pennie, but this pennie can be used for many things, such as saving up to buy oil so that you can light oil lamps at night.

The news that Lin Haoran knew how to make bird traps soon spread throughout the village, and even became a topic that the villagers talked about. When one day he saw Hu Niu coming back carrying a fat rabbit, it was even more like

A bombshell.

In fact, the initiator of this matter was Huniu. She was just a chatterbox, but now she was afraid that others would not know that she had a capable brother, so she liked to publicize her brother's deeds everywhere, whether in the field or in the village.

Of course, there are some things she won't talk about, such as stealing star fruits and tangerines, or getting two pots of strange flowers from somewhere recently.

"This nerd is on to something!"

Many people were filled with emotion after confirming the authenticity of the matter.

Lin Haoran's tranquility was naturally broken. People came to ask him for advice one after another, but most of them came to watch, as if they wanted to get to know this idiot again.

In fact, Lin Haoran's tricks are just that, mainly due to a clever word. It's just that there are no hunters in Changlin Village, and information is really limited now, so they are sought after by ordinary people.

However, in order to catch more game, Lin Haoran upgraded the set, making the set more diverse and complex, making it more difficult for some people to steal his skills.

Huniu had one more job and pleasure after herding cattle every day, which was to inspect the condition of each condom. She was really smart and learned to make a condom, and finally caught a turtle dove, which she asked

Extremely excited.

Taozi gradually brought some wild animals to their family, and with the income from cutting firewood, their life improved slightly.

It's just that Lin Haoran's right eyelid has been twitching lately, with a vague sense of crisis and an inexplicable sadness.
