Chapter 7 Traps

  After Yu Changhe and Sun worked together to install the pot, they started to build the wooden shed without stopping for a moment, and Sun jumped up and down to do some work that Yu Changhe was inconvenient to do.

  There was a place that was out of reach, so Yu Changhe squatted down and let Mrs. Sun step on him.

  Yu Xiaolian was at the side and occasionally helped pass things.

   After laying straw on the shed, and pressing a simple windshield panel for the shed, a kitchen is considered to be built.

   "What are you planning to use these two jars for?" Yu Changhe asked.

  Ms. Sun replied while washing her hands, "I can't just drink porridge all the time. I thought about adding some pickled vegetables. It just so happens that the wild vegetables are not old now. If you pickle two jars, you can count as a vegetable to eat in winter."

Yu Changhe felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Sun's words. When he earned a lot of money, he gave it all to his mother, and occasionally gave Sun a few pennies behind Mrs. Yu's back. non-stop.

  That year, on Sun’s birthday, Yu Changhe bought a silver hairpin for Sun just as he had just made monthly payments. Because of the silver hairpin, Mrs. Yu had a lot of trouble for many days, always looking for Sun’s annoyance.

   "Follow me, I will make you suffer."

   Mrs. Sun glanced at Yu Changhe, "Since you know, why didn't you ask your mother for that gold ingot yesterday?"

  Yu Changhe lowered his head, "I mentioned it privately. Mother said that I would save it for Changyu to marry a wife, so I don't want to mention gold in front of the village chief."

   "She won't let you mention it, so you don't mention it. You are obedient enough!"

  Yu Changhe said again, "Mother said that if I mention it, we will be kicked out."

   "If you throw it out, you will throw it out. The half of the gold is worth dozens of taels of silver. If you have the silver, can you live without a place?"

This gold ingot was picked up by Yu Changhe when Yu Xiaolian was picked up. Yu Xiaolian was carrying a full twelve taels. If it was exchanged for silver, it would be one hundred taels, but Yu Changhe didn't even compete with Granny Yu. one time.

  Although he was separated, he didn't leave home. If he really broke up with his mother because of the ingot of gold and left home, then he would have completely broken with her mother.

He did not want.

  Yu Changhe also knew that he was wronged, so he lowered his head and cleaned up the broken wooden boards around him, and did not reply to Mrs. Sun's words.

  He still has a little more love for his mother in his heart, how can Mrs. Sun not be angry?

  Seeing that Yu Changhe was silent, Mrs. Sun stopped talking to him, but adjusted her mood, started to clean up the mud and soil in the kitchen, set up a few more boards, and put the seasonings she bought on them.

  After thinking about it, he put it away again.

  This shed can only provide shelter from the wind, and it is not tight. If it rains, the seasoning will not be usable.

  It seems that I can only put these seasonings in the house first, and then go in and get them every time I cook.

  However, according to his family's current conditions, they can also fry some wild vegetables and eat them, and nothing else. As for the vegetables in the vegetable garden, Granny Yu doesn't allow them to pick and eat them casually.

  Yu Xiaolian drank rice porridge with thin soup and little water in the morning, and accompanied Mrs. Sun to the town for a walk. By this time, the little thing in her stomach had already been digested.

  The smell of Cao's cooking came over, and Yu Xiaolian's stomach rang uncontrollably.

  Yu Xiaolian's stomach was growling, and Sun naturally heard it, "Go and bring some firewood over here, I want to lean out the lard, just try this pot, will it burn well?"

  Yu Xiaolian looked up at the sun, it was only noon, Mrs. Sun said yesterday that they would only eat two meals a day from now on, and dinner should be eaten later.

Mrs. Sun shouldn't be cooking so early. Yu Xiaolian knew that Mrs. Sun was a man with a knife mouth and a bean curd heart, so she brought up the empty small basket beside her, "Mom, I want to eat wild vegetables today, I'll go dig some, and you can do it later Food?"

  Ms. Sun looked at Yu Xiaolian with surprise on her face. She always felt that she was a little different from before. The former Yu Xiaolian hadn't called her Mrs. Sun for a long time because of Mrs. Sun's growing indifference towards her.

  But today Yu Xiaolian called her mother several times, and still in an affectionate tone.

"Then be careful, go and come back quickly, don't go to the east of the forest, there are many traps dug by **** hunters, and it will be over if you fall into it." Sun also softened her tone, and took the few small packets of seasoning went into the house.

  Yu Xiaolian came to the back mountain of Hewanzi with a small basket and a blunt and ineffective digging knife.

  Although the back mountain is not big, it is not small in general.

   It’s just that the people in their village are just wandering around the nearest mountain, and few people are willing to go to the second mountain.

It's midsummer now, and the water and grass are plentiful. Yu Xiaolian thought that wild vegetables should be everywhere. As a result, Yu Xiaolian searched for a long time at the foot of the mountain under the scorching sun, and finally dug up a few wild vegetables. It seems that the nearby The wild vegetables have long been dug up by the villagers.

  Looking at the little wild vegetables in the basket, it was not enough for their family of three to eat, so Yu Xiaolian went back a little embarrassed.

  She looked up at the lush mountain, and there should be more digging in the mountain.

  Yu Xiaolian made up her mind and went to the mountain along the dirt road up the mountain.

After getting into the dense woods, not only the wild vegetables became more abundant, but also the sun could not reach her. Yu Xiaolian happily dug up the wild vegetables, thinking that Mrs. Sun said that she needed to pickle two jars of pickles, so she had to dig some more to go back. Row.

   Digging a basket full of wild vegetables on the edge of the dense forest, Yu Xiaolian realized that she had been out for too long.

  She was about to go down the mountain with a basket, when out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of a piece of white mushroom, Yu Xiaolian was overjoyed, this mushroom is a good thing, if she doesn't pick it back today, someone else might pick it up next time.

  Besides, this white mushroom tastes delicious, so Yu Xiaolian poured out some of the wild vegetables in the basket without any hesitation, leaving a place for the mushrooms.

  It may be because of the rain not long ago. These mushrooms have only just come out, and they haven’t grown too big yet. They are all small, and it is troublesome to pick.

  But Yu Xiaolian still dragged the small basket, picking one by one with enthusiasm.

   When she heard the strange animal cry, she realized that she was led by the mushroom to the edge of the mountain.

   Thinking that the deep mountain was not safe, she didn't dare to go further, so she hurried back with the basket.

  But just as she took a few steps back with the basket in hand, she stepped on the ground and fell into a hunting trap.

  Yu Xiaolian fell on all fours, and the wild vegetables and mushrooms in the basket were scattered all over the floor.

   Fortunately, there are no barbs in this pit, otherwise her life would be here.

  The hunting pit was nearly three meters deep, and Yu Xiaolian panicked. She knew that there was no one in this deep mountain and old forest, but she had to call for help, "Help... help... is there anyone here?"

   Shouted for a long time, but seeing the light getting darker, no one came.

  If it goes on like this, it will be dark. Originally, the light here is not very good due to the cover of the dense forest. After a while, I am afraid that she will have to spend the night in this place.

  Yu Xiaolian found the digging knife and began to dig a dirt ladder on the wall of the pit. Since no one came, she could only rely on herself.

  Just after digging two earthen ladders, Yu Xiaolian felt that the already faint light was blocked by someone. She stopped digging and looked up.

  There is a person above, looking at her with his head, but against the light, she can't see the person's face clearly.

   However, no matter who came, she was saved, "Help!"

   "You broke my trap?"

  The man's voice was cold, and Yu Xiaolian could hear the displeasure in the voice, but she still explained, "I didn't mean to, I fell in by accident."

  I haven't bothered with you about getting out of the pit yet, and you're not happy anymore.
