Chapter 19 Black Bear
"Da Lang Er Lang! Open the door, I'm the aunt, have you eaten? I steamed some brown rice steamed buns, come out and get them!"

The door of the house opened slowly, and seeing the weeping Saburo and Siniang, Mrs. He asked in surprise:

"Why are you two crying? Am I late and hungry?"

With that said, he quickly took out the brown rice steamed buns covered with gauze from the basket and handed them to the two children, and then said to Dalang and Erlang:
"I don't know when the third family will come back. In the next few days, you will come to the old house if you want to eat. She left me copper coins to buy food and asked me to take care of the food for the four of you."

Da Lang raised his head in shock, "She left you money?"

Didn't they just leave them and sneak away?

Mrs. He nodded, seeing the twins gnawed on the cornbread and forgot to cry, and muttered angrily:
"Your stepmother and your father are really virtuous, your skin is thicker than the rammed earth under the city wall, so I left a few copper plates, and I don't know how much I will stick to deal with your four mouths."

"It's been four days, and I don't know how long it will take to come back. The deep mountains are so easy to enter. If she is a weak woman, she will be killed."

When she said this, she realized that the four children were staring at her with wide eyes, as if she was going to bite their stepmother if she dared to say anything bad about them. Mrs. He hurriedly stopped talking.

She snorted, stuffed the remaining two cornbreads in the basket to Da Lang and Er Lang, and urged again: "Sooner or later, I will come to the old house to eat by myself. I don't have time to bring them to you every day. There are too many jobs at home."

He muttered again in a low voice, "I'm still protecting her", and then walked away quickly with an empty basket.

There was really a lot of work to be done at home, and she was so busy that she almost forgot about the four mouths in the third child's house, and that's why she was late.

As soon as Mrs. He left, the four brothers and sisters, who were still full of worries just now, immediately changed into smiling faces, gnawing on the warm brown rice buns in their hands, thinking to themselves, the stepmother didn't leave them behind, and she asked the auntie to take care of them Woolen cloth.

"Brother, she will definitely bring back her prey." Erlang looked at the clear sky, which was so blue that it made people feel infinite longing. He said firmly, "She is so strong, she can definitely do it."

"Yeah." Da Lang looked up at the endless rolling hills to the north, with the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Eat quickly. After eating, boil water and wipe your face. It's so dirty." Dalang urged his younger brother and sister.

The three little cats were grinning at him. They had lit a fire in the house earlier and their faces were covered in black smoke, just like tabby cats.

Siniang was the first to finish eating, and sat obediently on the threshold after eating, waiting for her brothers to boil the water, and she was the first to wash her face.

The little girl raised her feet and raised her little face so that her elder brother could wipe it clean, and muttered:
"Aniang likes clean and good babies the most. Si Niang listens to Aniang and be a clean and good baby."

Da Lang cleaned up the two little ones and drove them to bed to keep them safe from the cold.

Although it was sunny, it was still a little cold outside.

After tidying themselves up, Dalang and Erlang silently picked up the broom and started cleaning the house when they saw that the open-air stove was stained by rainwater and fallen leaves.

In the past, no one taught them to be hygienic, so they were all dirty.

But now someone tells them to wash their mouths and faces in the morning and evening, wash their feet before going to bed, wipe down the bowls they eat every time, and keep the stove clean so that they will not get sick when they eat.

She also taught them how to weave straw rope, and she would explain it to them when something new came up.

It was also from her mouth that they knew that taro is not a terrible poison, but a life-saving food.

She is like the backbone of the family, with her around, they feel at ease.

Dalang stopped cleaning, and was surprised to find that his stepmother had only been here for a few days, and he was already thinking of relying on her.

He didn't even think about his biological father who was taken away.

For a moment, he thought, if only life could go on like this forever.

It's fine if the man doesn't come back.

"Brother?" Erlang called his elder brother. He didn't know why he was taken aback, but he didn't respond after calling him several times.

"Are you thinking about your stepmother too?" Erlang asked a little awkwardly.

Dalang came back to his senses and nodded casually. He was afraid that his dark thoughts would be discovered by his younger brother.

Immediately, my heart was filled with self-blame, feeling that I was very unfilial and should not have these thoughts.

Erlang whispered: "I don't know how my stepmother is doing now."

The setting sun dyed the whole sky red, and Dalang glanced towards Beishan again.

"Ah!"

Qin Yao, who was riding on the tree, couldn't control herself and sneezed hard.

The knife in her hand trembled so much that she was almost slapped down by the black bear who stood up.

Fortunately, the fighting instinct she had trained in the last days was still there. The moment the bear's paw swung towards her, her body immediately made an evasive movement subconsciously.

But just this time, the black bear that she had been holding under the tree jumped suddenly and jumped onto the tree. One person and one bear stood on a branch of a tree, less than two meters away, looking at each other in dismay.

Without any hesitation, Qin Yao took the arrow and drew the bow, and quickly shot an arrow!
It is said that archers can't fight close combat, it's just that they haven't trained fast enough.

The mutated animals and plants in the last days don't care about your distance, they will suddenly appear in front of you when you don't expect it.

With ammunition in short supply, Qin Yao has practiced a close-range bow. Although its power is not as powerful as long-range shooting, it is still enough to resist the enemy's advancing footsteps a little.

And when the enemy you face is a human, this close-range bow often catches the opponent off guard.

An arrow at close range hit the black bear without any accident.

However, the power was not great, it only hurt its fur, but it made it even more furious, roaring and pounced on Qin Yao.

Qin Yao had been waiting for the opportunity to lure the black bear to appear, but finally the rain stopped and the traps were set, and the black bear did appear as expected.

Unexpectedly, it didn't fall into the trap, not only didn't fall into the trap, but after seeing Qin Yao, it seemed to feel her strong aura, turned around and ran away, and didn't fall into the trap she had set up.

Of course, Qin Yao couldn't just watch the black bear that was finally seduced just run away, and immediately shot an arrow at it's ass, successfully enraged the black bear, and turned around to kill her.

In this way, one person and one bear, in this not so dense forest, you come and go for more than a dozen rounds.

When the black bear flew over, Qin Yao had already changed into a sharpened short knife, behind him was the most fragile end of the branch, which could not bear the weight of a person.

It is impossible for her to retreat, and she will not retreat!

Turn sideways, bend your knees, raise the knife with [-]% of your strength, aim at the only white belly of the black bear, and give it a sharp blow!

"Hoohoho!!!"

There was a fierce roar that shook half the mountain range, and the black bear, which was murderous a moment ago, fell from the four-meter-high tree branch in a blink of an eye, making a muffled "bang".

Qin Yao hooked a branch with one hand and held a bloody knife in the other. She jumped from the branch and stabbed the black bear lying on the ground writhing in pain with her whole body weight.

After a short wail, half of the handle of the knife appeared on the black bear's neck, and the knife was deeply inserted into its throat. Blood overflowed from the back of its head, soaking the black rot under its body.

The black bear breathed his last unwillingly.

Qin Yao, who was kneeling on the black bear, pulled out the knife and raised her hand to wipe the hot bear blood on her face as usual.He lowered his eyes and looked at the tragically dead black bear beneath him, with the corners of his mouth raised crazily!

With it, this winter should be fine.
