As the sun sets, the sunshine scatters like broken gold in a small mountain village.

A little girl, holding a bamboo branch in her hand, jumped on the village road. She suddenly squinted her bun and looked towards the hut not far away, and saw smoke coming from the chimney at home.

Her eyes were full of doubts and she ran towards the house with her short legs. When she entered the house, she saw her brother busy in the kitchen. She turned around and saw her and asked her to wash her hands affectionately.

The hot porridge pot is placed on the table, and the fragrance of eggs is floating.

"I went up the mountain to chop wood today, and exchanged it for three cents!" Lin Qingran put a bowl of egg porridge and gently put it in front of her and explained: "I originally wanted to exchange three eggs with Aunt Qi, but she didn't charge any money.

, I gave two of our family for free!”

This is the helplessness of this era. After working hard all day, I could only get three eggs.

Hu Niu didn't care about the eggs, but stared in surprise and said, "Brother, it turns out that you really went up the mountain to chop wood! I thought someone was lying to me!"

"What's so strange about this? I can't rely on you alone at home, so I have to help my family make money!" Lin Qingran sat down at the table and distributed a pair of chopsticks to her.

Hu Niu took the chopsticks, but she didn't rush to do it. Her beautiful eyelashes fell down and she sighed like a little adult and said, "I don't like you chopping wood. Your body is so weak, it will be very hard!"

"It's not hard at all! I can exercise my body. When I save enough money, I will buy a pair of new shoes for you first, and then buy you cloth to make new clothes!" Lin Qingran reached out and touched her head, planning

Looking to the future.

Hu Niu lowered her head silently, her eyes wet.

Lin Qingran looked at her like a magic trick, took out a few things from her arms and put them in front of her.

Tangerine?

Hu Niu saw the citrus on the table, and her sadness just now disappeared, her eyes lit up immediately. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin Weiran. The crystal clearness was still hanging on her slender eyelashes, but it represented a kind of excitement.

"Do you like it?" Lin Qingran asked with a smile on his face and his eyes full of doting.

Hu Niu nodded heavily, then carefully peeled off a citrus with her fleshy little hands and gave it to Lin Qingran half neatly, which made Lin Qingran feel heartwarming.

Huh...

Hu Niu ate a piece of citrus. The citrus was a little sour, but she smiled happily, then raised her big cake face and said proudly: "I know it's from Jiang Mansion!"

Lin Weiran could only smile bitterly when he heard this. Of course, this thing was not bought. It was indeed picked by him from Jiang Mansion while selling firewood.

Hu Niu suddenly frowned and said seriously: "Brother, don't steal their family's belongings next time. The people in that family are very fierce. The third uncle's legs were broken by them!"

"I have a sense of justice!" Lin Weiran responded to her worried eyes and touched her head to comfort her.

Now these are just temporary measures. The family is in a bad situation now. In order to survive better, some things really have to be done, and some good morals can only be thrown aside.

The next day, it was just dawn.

Hu Niu got up quietly, and her body couldn't help but tremble. The morning was too cold, and the quilt was still warm, but she didn't get back to the quilt, but walked to the kitchen and started to be busy.

The heat soon started to rise, and she baked her hand at the stove, and then hurried to wash the rice.

The wet air penetrated into the house from outside desperately. The water was biting cold, and her hands were soon frozen red. Just looking at the snow-white rice, her heart gradually warmed up.

In the past, she was always working hard on her family's livelihood, but now the situation has changed. This dull brother seemed to have suddenly become aware of it. Not only has his temperament changed, but he is also willing to go to the mountains to chop wood and make money.

After discussion last night, their family decided to bring rice balls to make lunch like other families. She no longer had to watch others have rice balls to eat, but she was gone.

Ah Ji...

When Lin Qingran walked out of the room, he couldn't help but sneeze, rubbed his arms a few times, and then walked out of the door to start washing and start a new day.

When he returned to the room, Hu Niu had already arranged the hot white porridge, but he changed the porridge bowls of the two, and Hu Niu stuck out her tongue.

After a quick drink of a simple bowl of porridge, he pinched two rice balls and wrapped them in lotus leaves, giving one to Hu Niu and the other to him.

He tied the door and went to herd cattle for others, and went up the mountain to chop wood.

With yesterday's experience, chopping wood this time was much smoother and he could barely keep up with the progress of others. And he felt that he could cut two loads of wood a day like A Niu in a while.

At noon, Hu Niu came over with a scalper.

When she saw Lin Weiran washing her face, Hu Niu had bright eyes and her face looked red, like a ripe big apple. Now everything has been confirmed, making her feel at ease and proud.

"Hu Niu, what did I pick up?" Lin Weiran was also very happy to see her, and took out the thing from her arms and said.

"Duck egg?" Hu Niu happily took the warm wild duck eggs, and there were actually six in total.

The pine forest was full of infinite surprises. This was what Lin Weiran discovered when chopping wood. At that time, his heart was beating, as if he had picked up gold. He was very excited all morning. This was comparable to

Yesterday's eggs are still precious.

"Let's just roast it now!" Lin Qingran looked at her and licked her lips, and immediately made a decision.

Hu Niu looked up at him in confusion, but when she saw Lin Qingran go to pick up firewood with great interest, she immediately stepped forward to help. But she suggested that she only eat two, but Lin Qingran half rejected it and chose to eat four.

I borrowed flint, made a fire with a hatchet, and then buried the duck eggs on the ground and roasted them with firewood. The duck eggs cannot be directly placed in the firewood, otherwise the shells will be burned.

The development of science and technology has weakened human survival skills, but the developed information age has allowed humans to gain richer knowledge, including some survival knowledge in the wild.

Hu Niu looked at Lin Qingran with admiration. She never knew that she could roast eggs like this, and found that she was increasingly unable to understand this brother who used to be able to study.

The branches were crackling, and the two were chatting without a word. Hu Niu liked to talk about the latest happenings in the village, but they were just trivial things, such as Xiao Ya's father picked up a piece of her and knocked into a wood

The rabbit in front of the stake is like a chicken from Aunt Big-eyed's house is lost and found again, and the Awu family cannot get a bride gift to marry a wife.

The sky was gloomy and the weather was neither good nor bad. It was very comfortable for the two of them to surround the fire.

It is generally said that Hu Niu is talking, while Lin Weiran listens next to him, and occasionally he pretends to be nothing. Gradually, he has a deeper impression of the people in the village, who is kind and enthusiastic, who is greedy and stingy, presents life.

Various forms.

When the branches were burned and the ashes cooled, Lin Weiran used the branches to peel out the wild duck eggs.

Hu Niu's words came to an abrupt end, her eyes fixed on the duck egg that was being dug out.

"It's familiar!"

Lin Weiran cracked the duck eggs and handed them to Hu Niu with a smile.

The egg was still hot, and Hu Niu took off the eggshell while blowing, and then delivered it to Lin Qingran's mouth. Lin Qingran smiled, opened her mouth and bit her a small bite, which was extremely sweet.

The egg white duck egg has a sweet taste, and the eggshell is golden and fragrant. If you put it in your mouth, just chew it gently for a few times to make the mouth full of sweet and fragrant.

Sharing, sometimes sweeter than eating alone.

Hu Niu took a small bite, her eyebrows slowly opened up, her bright big eyes as clear as autumn water, filled with a happy smile. This was the first time she had eaten roast duck eggs, and she thought it was the best delicacy in the world.

Second to big chicken legs.

In just the blink of an eye, the two of them ate a wild duck egg, and they both felt unsatisfied and they opened another wild duck egg.

"Hu Niu, we have to make some meat!" Lin Weiran finished eating the wild duck eggs and found that he had infinite motivation and higher pursuits. He immediately clapped and made a decision.

"This egg may not necessarily hatch a wild duck!" Hu Niu looked at the two duck eggs left on the ground and said seriously.

Lin Weiran pinched her face and then began to act.

If you want to eat meat, it is naturally impossible to rely on these two wild duck eggs. And even if the duck eggs can hatch, what year and year will it take to eat duck meat?

In Hu Niu's puzzled gaze, he chose a place in the mountain nest, then carried a big stone, carefully laid the stone with a small stick with a fork. The fork had broken and an ant was inserted on it.

grasshopper.

It can be imagined that as long as a voles rodent bites a grasshopper, the small stick will lose its support and the big stone will instantly hit. Even if the small animals inside do not die, they will be pressed under the stone.

As a modern person who has experienced the baptism of the Internet, Lin Qingran has learned some wild survival skills under the influence of his eyes and ears.

Nowadays, it is easy to use. Many things are easy to know and difficult to do, but some things are easy to know and difficult to do.

However, he was not very interested in voles and was more eager for the pheasant on the mountain, so he set up a bird trap.

The bird trap seems more complicated. I found a rather tough branch to be used as a spring rod, fixed one end in the soil, and bent the other end, connected it with a hemp rope, and made a lock on the other end of the hemp rope.

The knot is a live buckle, placed in a circular trap made of wooden sticks, with rice grains and grass seeds sprinkled in the middle.

If birds and birds want to eat the food in the circle, they will inevitably peck at the small stick and trigger the trap device to sell it. The branches will be restored to the prototype immediately. The hemp rope will be pulled up, the rope circle will be tightened, and the bird's neck will be given.

Stood and hang the birds and birds.

Because he knew where to sell firewood, he was not in a hurry to go back to the mountain to chop firewood, but instead made three mouse traps and three bird traps at the foot of the mountain.

Hu Niu was very puzzled why he knew so much. Lin Xuran said that he saw it in the book. She nodded, obviously believing it.

After all this, he returned to the mountain to continue chopping wood, but when he picked it up and sold it back, the sun was already westward.
