Then he asked Luo Xuan a few more questions about his purpose in coming to the mountains and his current whereabouts.
When he heard that Du Juan had taken Luo Xuan into the mountains, Bu Yaoming looked at Du Zhong meaningfully.
Eucommia ulmoides glared, "You always stare at me like a hammer today? The whole weasel looks like a big rooster. What are you greedy for?"
Bu Yaoming said quietly: "Luo Xuan is only 13 years old."
Eucommia ulmoides snorted, "The female junior is holding gold bricks. You don't even understand this? Things are wrong. I said, why don't you continue to grow!"
faint!
Bu Yaoming cursed in his heart: I am just the captain of the production team. What does this have to do with whether I continue to grow taller?
Ah! Who can still grow taller when they are already dozens of years old?
Bu Yaoming ignored Eucommia ulmoides and just said to himself: "Luo Xuan is a high school student! The young man is educated and good-looking..."
"Oh, then my cuckoo is not necessarily bad. She can shoot birds with a slingshot, and can go to the fields by rolling up her trouser legs. And my cuckoo's cooking skills are better than those of your girls."
Du Zhong straightened his back and said: "Anyway, whether it is successful or not, I will occupy the pit first. I will kill you!"
Bu Yaoming held the butt of the cigarette between his fingertips and inhaled the corn-sized cigarette in one gulp.
Throwing away the cigarette butt, Bu Yaoming chuckled, "I'm in a hurry! You have a guest at your house and you didn't report it in time. I'll criticize you verbally first. I'll leave first. When Luo Xuan comes back, you have to come to my place and tell me.
"
After saying that, Bu Yaoming turned and left.
"How did you know Luo Xuan came to my house?"
Eucommia ulmoides looked at Bu Yaoming's back and asked him curiously, "Is it possible that you are a piece of shit, lying on the cracks in the wall of my house every day to peek?"
"You are smoking 'Chunlei' cigarettes now! With your urine quality, you can grow home-grown dry cigarettes for free, but you will spend money to buy Chunlei for 1.6 cents? That's why there is a ghost because there are guests in your house!"
Bu Yaoming said without looking back: "Forget it, I won't mess with you anymore. This morning, I saw Luo Xuan and Du Juan on the top of the mountain..."
With that said, Bu Yaoming has gone downhill and is far away.
The cigarette Du Zhong smoked just now was given to him by Luo Xuan.
Luo Xuan felt that he was eating and living with others, and Du Juan was accompanying him into the mountains, so he gave all the cigarettes he bought to Du Zhong as a token of his gratitude.
It's just that Luo Xuan didn't consider one thing: during this period, some people inevitably need to ask people to do things for them, but everyone also tries their best to avoid using money as payment, so usually everyone replaces wages with things in kind.
Therefore, Luo Xuan's behavior, in the eyes of Du Zhong and his daughter, is a disguised way of paying themselves wages.
As for Du Zhong, he would be confident and bold and let Du Juan take Luo Xuan into the mountains...
In fact, there are not so many things to pay attention to in the mountains. There have not been many taboos on how unmarried men and women get along since ancient times.
So when Du Juan took Luo Xuan into the mountains, neither Bu Yaoming nor Du Zhong took it seriously, so much so that Bu Yaoming didn't even mention it just now.
Coupled with his slender arms and legs, in Bu Yaoming's eyes, he was just a young man.
If Du Juan and Luo Xuan really get into a fight, we don’t know who will suffer!
~~~~~~
In the grotto.
Dujuan brought back a large bag of dry firewood, then took off a plump, cleaned bamboo rat from her waist, and handed it to Luo Xuan for pickling.
Among the packages Eucommia prepared for herself was a bamboo tube.
This bamboo tube is simply a complete barbecue equipment, including all kinds of chili, pepper and salt.
The best ingredients often only require the simplest cooking. Luo Xuan spread the seasonings, massaged the bamboo rat all over, then hung it up, and time will do the rest.
Seeing that Luo Xuan was done, Du Juan made two torches with pine branches and bamboo poles, and waved to Luo Xuan, "Let's go, let's catch scorpions."
Luo Xuan was stunned: "Don't scorpions come out at night? Where can I catch them now?"
Dujuan chuckled, "Isn't that the local scorpion you are talking about? Let's go, our scorpion here has no day and night... cluck."
With that said, Dujuan walked towards the outside of the cave.
After descending the hillside and climbing a few hundred meters up the opposite cliff, Du Juan ducked into a rock crevice.
Luo Xuan followed closely behind.
As soon as I stood firm, I saw a small stone platform at the crack of the stone.
Dujuan stretched out her hand to stop Luo Xuan and whispered: "Don't worry, wait until I add some ingredients to the hole."
Said.
I saw her taking out a large handful of sulfur, charcoal, some dead branches, mint, mosquito grass and other hairy grass, then squatted down and started to fan the wind and light a fire!
After a few moments, a thick cloud of smoke rose, making people cry and runny noses.
Du Juan picked up a sack and fanned the smoke into the cracks in the rocks.
Luo Xuan also quickly took off his shirt and tried his best to help.
After a while, the firewood burned out, and the smoke at the stone crevice door gradually faded away.
The two of them waited for a while, and when they felt that the thick smoke in the crevices was no longer so suffocating, they turned on torches and ducked into the crevices.
The entrance to the stone crevice is narrow, but the inside is relatively spacious.
Luo Xuan roughly estimated the width of the stone crack, which was about three to four meters.
But because there was insufficient light from the torch, it was not clear how deep the crevice was.
"Look carefully at the cracks in the rocks around you and under the small rocks."
Du Juan reminded Luo Xuan: "Scorpions love to hide in these places, so don't get stung by them. If so, I guarantee you will roll on the floor in pain!"
Being stung by a scorpion is countless times more powerful than a wasp. Even an adult strong man may not be able to withstand the searing and heart-wrenching pain!
Luo Xuan did know some of the habits of scorpions, and he also knew that catching scorpions had to be at night, using a purple light to search in the crevices of the rocks.
If you have the blessing of a purple light lamp, you can catch scorpions with perfect accuracy.
It's a pity that at this time, it is impossible to get a purple light lamp. Even if it were available, Luo Xuan would never be able to afford it.
With the help of the faint firelight, Luo Xuan could see clearly: this was a cave that once housed a large number of bats.
There are mountains of bat guano on the ground.
There are various centipedes, dung beetles, and many unknown small beetles and worms crawling among them.
These little bugs in bat guano are hated by everyone, but they are the favorites of scorpions.
Luo Xuan and Du Juan used two bamboo pieces to make a simple clip.
Then insert the corner of the sack into the gap in the stone wall and fix it.
The two picked up a scorpion and threw it into the sack, occasionally shaking the sack to prevent the scorpion from crawling out.
Previously, Du Juan said that there was no need to wait until night to catch this 'local scorpion'.
This statement is indeed true.
There is no sunlight all day long in the crevices of the rocks, and there is an unusually abundant amount of food.
Therefore, the scorpions in this stone crevice will come out to look for food and pay homage regardless of the day.
The two of them hung around in the cave for a while, then they felt that the air inside was turbid and the smell was unpleasant, making it unbearable.
Without any choice.
Luo Xuan and Du Juan could only run outside the cave to get some air, wait until their minds became clearer, and then go back in to continue catching scorpions.
Repeat this several times until there are hundreds of scorpions in the sack.
At this time, the scorpions in the cave seemed to have sensed the danger, so they slipped into the cracks and hid.
This makes it extremely difficult for Luo Xuan and Du Juan to catch them.
Seeing that there were no more scorpions to catch, the two had no choice but to carry the sacks and return to the grotto where they spent the night.
After taking a short rest, Du Juan started to make a fire to cook, while Luo Xuan spread thick straw on the ground and prepared for the trivial matters for the night.
Make a meal.
Du Juan handed Luo Xuan a bamboo tube and asked, "Do you want to take a few sips of strong wine to relieve your fatigue?"
Luo Xuan gnawed on roasted bamboo rat meat and shook his head: "I'm still young and can't drink."
Du Juan smiled slightly: "Coward! We men in the mountains started learning to drink at the age of 10. How can you say so much?"
Seeing that Luo Xuan just lowered his head and gnawed the bones without drinking, Du Juan had no choice but to stuff the bamboo tube and put it back in the bag.
When mountain people go out, they carry a little liquor with them, but it is not entirely for drinking.
There are many accidents in the mountains, and this bottle of strong liquor is sometimes used to disinfect and treat wounds.
That night.
The two of them spread sacks on the straw, covered themselves with sacks, and slept in their clothes.
