Dali Langjun’s Ancient Way of Raising a Family - Chapter 4

Qi You hurriedly hurriedly hurriedly was a step too late. He was eagerly looking forward to the whole night that there was not much fresh water left, but there was a circle of scrawny animals around the pit. Seeing him coming, he immediately scattered and left. Qi You quickly grabbed the stone on the ground and knocked out a rabbit and two birds.

He had forgotten that compared to humans, animals are the fastest to perceive the existence of water.

The temperature gradually rose, Qi You ran all the way, sweating out of his head, he simply took off his tattered coat and twisted it into a rope, tied the hapless rabbit and two unknown birds with big palms together, and then kneeled. Kneeling down, opened his eyes and looked at the shallow layer of water in the pit.

Qi You’s eyes were almost squeezed into cross-eyed eyes, and he couldn’t see any more water from the bottom of the pit, and finally stood up unwillingly, and shook his hand with a bunch of “culprits”, not sure whether he should be angry or should be angry. laugh.

Although fresh water is precious, the lack of salt in the Qi family and the Lin family for a long time will cause the body’s sodium content to be too low, which is reflected in the body’s weakness and dizziness.

It’s a pity that the Qi family has been suffering from hunger for a long time. They did not expect this level at all.

Now that most of Danshui is gone, it’s a shame to say it’s a fake, but with these three hapless guys, it’s really a blessing to lose the horse.

Qi You looked around, and finally found a large rock with a depression in the middle of a piece of dry and cracked land. If ordinary people came to move it, a few steps would be laborious, but for Qi You, it was easy.

He pouted his buttocks, and cautiously put the water into the depression in the middle of the stone with his hands. It took a long time to make sure that half a drop of water could not be squeezed out of the pit. Qi You reluctantly returned with his unexpected surprise. Home now.

He ran away in a hurry before, making the family very worried. Seeing him coming back safely at this moment, Father Qi didn’t care about what he was holding. He just limped and ran over and slapped his son on the shoulder angrily. “What are you kid doing panicking? Yes, this place is very sparsely populated, if you are”

After all, the following words were unlucky, Qi’s father closed his mouth, but his eyes were full of disapproval when he looked at Qi You.

With that stern look, Qi You felt in a daze that he was back in the modern age and faced his dad, subconsciously laughing with him, “No, no, no, no next time, Dad.”

As soon as he uttered the words, Qi Youmeng paused, only to realize that the dilapidated and desolate house was still in front of him.

Qi You suppressed the faint sadness in his heart, and squeezed a smile from his mouth. He steadily put the stone on the ground before taking out a string of thin wild animals from his back.

Father Qi found out that his son’s coat was missing, and the one who tied the wild thing was the rope twisted by the coat.

The Qi family father and mother were stunned. The little pillar ran over with her little short legs and pulled her sister. Her dirty little hands rubbed her eyes and made sure that it was not his hallucinations before she screamed out in surprise, “Sister, Sister, look at it, there are rabbits, it’s a rabbit, and today there is meat to eat again.”

He was so happy, the **** eyes on his dirty little face were bright and energetic, like two black gems.

Qi You was delighted to see and beckoned to the child. The small pillar immediately ran over, tentatively reaching out and pinching Qi You’s fingertips with a small hand. The voice was soft and waxy, like glutinous rice mixed with honey. Tuanzi stretched his tone, with a little coquettish meaning, “Brother-in-law~~Brother-in-law~~You are amazing, Xiaozhuzi admires brother-in-law the most.”

Qi You had a stronger smile in his eyes. He squatted down and rubbed the widow face of the child with his fingers, deliberately teasing him, “How come the mouth of the small pillar is so sweet, is it smeared with honey?”

“No.” The child replied with a milky voice, but his expression was particularly serious.

It’s really cute.

Qi You couldn’t help but touched him again with his fingertips, making the child giggling as he grabbed his index finger, and kept calling “Brother-in-law” in his mouth.

Qi You let him play with his fingers, and then said to his parents, “I found a puddle last night, but unfortunately the sky is too dark and I can’t see clearly, plus it’s too late. I’m worried about you. I was afraid that you were worried about me, so I came back in a hurry. I just remembered this morning. I was afraid that I was only dreaming of yesterday, so I hurried to see it.”

He pointed to the shallow layer of water in the rock depression, “Although it’s not much, it’s better than nothing.”

Father Qi looked down, salivating in his mouth, and his voice was difficult: “You’er, where did you find water? My father had searched all around before, but I didn’t find a mouthful of water.”

Qi You touched his nose and said with a smile: “I’m also lucky. But you also reminded me, dad, we have to leave as soon as possible.”

“Daddy, Miao’er, Xiaozhu, come over and drink some water to moisturize your throat. You won’t get your throat dry.”

However, they did not move.

“You’er, have you drunk?”

“Brother You, you went out to work hard, you must be more thirsty.”

“Brother-in-law drink first.”

When Qi family father and mother and Lin family sister and brother spoke, they were taken aback and looked at each other. Lin Miao’er turned away and lowered her head shyly, but Qi’s father and Qi’s mother looked at her more relieved. .

Qi You laughed. Just such a little water was not enough for him to drink once. He bent down and held water to his mouth as if it were wet, soaking his chapped lips. Then he straightened up, “Okay, I drink, it’s your turn.”

Qi’s mother and Qi’s father gave way to each other, but in the end, Qi’s mother couldn’t help her husband. He stepped forward two steps and got to the side of the stone. Qi You held her by the side, and naturally saw that she only wetted her chapped lips with a little water. .

Qi You felt strange in his heart. For the first time, he felt that he was useless. He couldn’t even find water to quench his thirst for his family.

However, everyone took a sip, and the poor little water was gone.

Qi You bowed and lifted the unconscious rabbit, and when it was still drunk and dreaming of death, he snapped its neck in one bite, ending its short life.

Qi You restrained himself, took a few mouthfuls, and handed the rabbit to Father Qi, “Father, this blood is still warm, drink it quickly.”

Father Qi was a little uncomfortable, but in the face of hunger, he drank it without hesitation, and then handed it to Mother Qi, Lin Miao’er, and Xiaozhu.

Qi You thought that Lin Miaoer and the others were women, and it would be difficult for them to accept this way of eating and drinking.

However, it turns out that his pattern is broken in Tucson.

Not to mention Qi Mu and her two female generations, even Xiaozhu accepts well.

He sipped the rabbit’s neck and tried his nose, and found that he really couldn’t **** a drop of blood, so he licked his lips reluctantly, and then gave Qi You the more shriveled rabbit carcass.

Qi You:…

No, children nowadays are so cruel…? !

Qi You was still holding the rabbit carcass in a daze. The small pillar had slowly moved in front of the two comatose birds, and his thin hands gently stroked their slightly dirty feathers.

Qi You breathed a sigh of relief, that’s right, children just can’t resist these cute animals, and the conditions are difficult now, otherwise…

“Brother-in-law, let’s keep the bird well.” The child suddenly looked back, looking at him with **** eyes, piercingly.

Qi You was full of guilt for an instant, after all, he used these two little birds as food reserves.

He just wanted to say that when his life is better in the future, his brother-in-law will buy you a few birds as pets to keep for fun.

The child hurriedly continued: “This way, when we are hungry next time, we can directly bite their necks. The small pillar feels that after sucking rabbit blood, the stomach is full, and it doesn’t hurt anymore. It’s so comfortable. Now.”

The child gently hugged the oversized belly, rubbing it back and forth, ignoring the age and gender, just looking at the action, it really looks like a woman who was pregnant in October expecting the child to be born.

Qi You shook his head in horror, what kind of strange thoughts he had.

Qi You nodded indiscriminately, “Well, Xiaozhu likes it, so keep it.”

Qi You squatted on the ground and peeled the rabbit with a stone knife. He kept everything except the internal organs that had to be discarded.

Rabbit hair is not crow hair, but it is a good thing. Even if there is only a palm-sized piece, it is good to put it under the neck at night as a pillow.

At this moment, the sun climbed higher and higher, and the temperature gradually rose. Qi You lit the fire with almost no effort and set the rabbit directly on the fire.

The small pillar squatted beside him, watching him busy with relish, not too tired.

Qi You has heard more of Xiong’s “brilliant deeds” in modern times, and has seen many of them in friends’ homes. In contrast, he has no resistance to sensible and well-behaved children.

If he hadn’t crossed over, maybe in two or three years, he would also be promoted to be a dad.

Forget it, this is the end of the matter, it is useless to think more.

The more important thing at the moment is to focus on the present.

He stabbed the fire at will to make the fire burn more vigorously.

The specific location they are now in is only a small village under Pu’an County. The only good news is that it is not far from the county.

“Father, you are familiar with this place. If you know how to get there, you can reach the county faster.”

Father Qi sighed, and he felt like he was finally here. He stared at his son’s face. Since his son survived a catastrophe and woke up again, he seemed to have become more determined and mature.

Maybe he should try to believe You’er once that his son has grown up and can afford a home.

Father Qi smiled relieved and said, “I will go ahead and you will follow me. We will be able to reach the county when the sun sets at the latest.”

If his legs are not lame, and his wife’s eyes are not blind, maybe they will be able to reach the county in Shen Shichu.

After all, it was the two of them that dragged you down.

Father Qi’s heart was sour, and his eyes fixed on the deformed left leg. If his leg was still intact, it would be fine. Even if it was just lame, it would be better than the current situation.

For a waste person like him, in this troubled world, one extra day will be pitiful.

Father Qi was so sore that when Qi You gave him the roasted rabbit legs, he didn’t want it.

He said: “I’m half of my body buried in loess, so I don’t want to die from starvation. You can take this good thing and share it with you.”
