The Heartless Mage Chapter 187: Mountain Living

The big and small blind streamers in the blind stream village discovered that overnight there were more families in the village.

There are no bricks and tiles in the village, and the houses are all made of wood. If you pay attention to the wood carving, you can build a small building with thick logs, but the blind streamers are obviously unable to pay attention to it, and they are satisfied with having a wooden house to shelter from the wind and rain. On the edge of the numerous woodcuts with different shapes and expressions, there stood a sharp immortal pillar, which was a small tent that was built by Wuxin alone.

Stunned villagers surrounded the immortal pillars, but they didn't expect there to be houses even more rudimentary than their wood carvings. Suddenly, the curtain under the Immortal Pillar was lifted, and a young man with a snow-white face emerged from his waist. Unintentionally nodded and smiled in all directions, and stuffed fruit candy into the hands of several children. An old man wearing reading glasses, Wenxuanxuan commented: "Your tent has a very nomadic style. The Ewenki people in the Daxing'an Mountains are just like you..."

Before the old man could finish speaking, the old man's young daughter ran over and said that there was no salt in the house. The old man realized that his gossip could not be seasoned, so he immediately turned to look for salt.

Rural villages across the country have been communalized, and the blind villages in the virgin forest are self-sufficient because no one cares. As long as you are willing to contribute to the oil of the black soil, you will never starve to death. Now that it is the turn of autumn and winter, every household has saved more or less food to prepare for the winter, but Wuxin has nothing. Su Tao sat in front of the fire pit dug out of the immortal pillar, and was worried while roasting old corn: "What should I do? We are too late to grow food now."

Wuxin flipped the old corn and replied nonchalantly, "I won't plant the land if it's too late."

This is the truth, he is used to being idle, and he is impatient to let him work hard to earn a living.

Su Tao calculated the property of the two in her heart, and then she became melancholy: "What shall we eat in winter?"

Inadvertently picked up an old corn from the charcoal, and blew with both hands upside down: "I can hunt, you can see that there are woods all around, it must be enough for me to hunt."

Su Tao took the old corn and ate the corn kernels bit by bit. Although he didn't understand Wuxin's meaning, he didn't ask any more questions because he trusted him so much.

In the afternoon, Wuxin took Su Tao out for a walk, and by the way announced to the world, showing his relationship with Su Tao. When the villagers saw Su Tao, they were all surprised: "Yo, what a little daughter-in-law."

Su Tao was embarrassed, she lowered her head and did not speak, but Wuxin repeated over and over again, "Actually, I am also very young, and the two of us are only three years apart."

The villagers of course admit that Wuxin is young. The problem is that Su Tao is too young, and she is still childish, like a growing girl. Everyone looked at them as if they were fresh, and they all laughed at the end, thinking that the young couple were all beautiful, but they were a rare match.

Inadvertently inquired about the most prestigious leader in the village, specially brought Su Tao to sit there, and gave a pound of white sugar as a greeting gift, which was considered to be recognized by the other party. After leaving the village and entering the forest, Su Tao supported a tree trunk with both hands and looked up at the crown of the tree. The old tree had lived for hundreds of years, and the crown of the tree was truly towering. Su Tao took a deep breath and felt a kind of dangerous excitement in her heart - as long as she had no heart, she could live anywhere.

She turned to look for Wuxin to speak, but when she turned her head, she found Wuxin picked up a birch branch from the ground that was slightly thinner than her wrist. Holding a dagger, he sharpened one end of the branch and raised his head unintentionally: "See? There are squirrels everywhere, and every tree has a bird's nest."

Then he put away his dagger and began to unbutton his padded coat. Su Tao stared blankly for a moment, then suddenly came to a realization, and hurriedly closed his front: "It's so cold, why are you taking off your clothes?"

Inadvertently pushed her hand away: "You don't understand, just stand under the tree and wait for me."

He took off all the cotton-padded clothes, cotton pants, and cotton-padded shoes, stretched out the close-fitting Bai Liuli, and buried it in a warm padded jacket. Twisting his neck and shaking his shoulders, he saw an old tree and jumped up, Su Tao only felt a flower in front of him, he had already climbed up the tree with bare feet.

Holding the sharpened birch branch in one hand, hugging the old trunk in the other, shaking his head and tail unintentionally, he climbed to a high place in a blink of an eye. Across the sparse yellow leaves, Su Tao saw him stop on a branch and suddenly stopped moving.

Su Tao is about to die of anxiety. I don't know what's going on with him up there. If you scare him with your own voice, the sin will be big. She waited and waited anxiously, and just when she couldn't bear it any longer, Wuxin suddenly moved on it. Immediately, a small gray shadow stumbled and fell between the branches, and finally landed in front of her with a "click". It was a big squirrel with a pierced neck. The big squirrel lay on the pile of fallen leaves and twitched, making Su Tao feel distressed for a while. But before she could feel distressed, another prey fell on her head.

The prey this time was a birch rat with black stripes. Before the winter, all the animals had enough to eat. The birch was the size of a small rabbit, plump and plump. It also suffered a fatal neck injury. A group of yellow leaves rustled, Su Tao looked up again, and saw Wuxin holding the blood-stained birch branch, sliding down gently and skillfully. After landing, he turned to Su Tao, he puffed out his cheeks and lowered his head, spit out two big bird eggs into his palm.

"There are five eggs in the nest. I took two and kept three for the old bird." He told Su Tao: "The old bird doesn't know how to count and can't find it."

Su Tao is not interested in Laoniao, and hurriedly shakes off his cotton-padded coat to put it on for him. However, Wuxin handed the bird eggs into her hands, took a step forward and ran a few steps, and climbed the tree again.

After such a busy afternoon, at the end of the twilight, Wuxin led Su Tao in one hand and four fluffy tails in the other. Su Tao put one hand in her pocket. In the pocket were five warm bird eggs. The eggs were of different varieties, some were bigger and some were smaller.

That night, Wuxin and Su Tao sat around the fire for dinner. Their daily necessities are very scarce. In addition to the water bottle, they only have a large lunch box and a small enamel basin bought before entering the mountain. Wuxin warmed up a basin of water and let Su Tao wash her hands and face. At the same time, she put the lunch box on the fire and made a box of egg drop soup with four bird eggs. The remaining one, the largest, was stuffed into Bai Liuli's mouth.

When the squirrel meat was roasted, he tore off a small piece and handed it to Su Tao. Su Tao had never eaten squirrels, so he hesitated and refused to accept it. Wuxin moved the meat to her mouth and opened her mouth wide: "Ah..."

Su Tao smiled and followed him with an "ah". As soon as he opened his mouth, the squirrel meat was stuffed into his unintentional fingers. Wuxin licked his lips casually: "Tast it, it's better than any meat."

Su Tao closed her mouth and chewed slowly. After swallowing, she smiled: "It's delicious."

He licked the oil on his fingers again without a heart. The firelight shone on him from the bottom up, and he became a big boy with bright eyebrows, with golden-red smooth skin and radiant black eyes. Su Tao happily took another bite of the squirrel meat and liked him to death.

After eating and drinking, Wuxin lay on a canvas beside the fire and stretched out his arms to make a pillow for Su Tao. Su Tao looked up and looked up, and could see the stars through the round hole at the top of the immortal column. Su Tao didn't understand why Wuxin encircled the tent in the shape of a big umbrella, nor did he understand why there was a hole in the top of the umbrella. There are too many things she doesn't understand, she is too lazy to think about it carefully, anyway, at least Wuxin understands.

A pair of large, sparkling eyes appeared above the hole, peeping down. Su Tao was about to push Wuxin next to her, but before she could make a move, Wuxin with her eyes closed suddenly whistled.

The big eyes disappeared immediately. The canvas door curtain that was dragging on the floor moved a corner. The big owl probed and got in. Wuxin pulled out his arm from under Su Tao's head, sat up and hugged the big owl into his arms: "Hey, I knew you couldn't lose it!" He pinched the big owl: "With such a big belly, what can you eat? already?"

The big owl can't speak, and the flowers in its stomach can't bloom, so it has to give a low "howl". Bai Liuli couldn't hear him the most, so he raised his head abruptly on the floor and glared at the big owl. The big owl was startled, and immediately raised its two big wings to cover its sharp mouth, and looked at Wuxin with trembling eyes, then looked at Su Tao, and finally glanced at Bai Liuli secretly.

Ignore his thoughts. As soon as he slumped down again, he babbled comfortably: "If you eat alone, if you're full, bring us some! Look at your big mouth, big claws and big wings, grab a rabbit and grab one. Pheasant, it's not like playing?"

Then he stretched his arms out sideways: "Come on, Tao Tao, put your hands under his wings, it will be warm."

Su Tao carefully put her hand on the owl's body, and found that the owl looked mighty, but actually had soft fur. And the owl is a sheep-tempered, living for more than a hundred years, and never knows what it means to be angry. He struggled to get up and squatted between Wuxin and Su Tao. He opened one eye and closed the other. In the yin qi around him, he suddenly shivered, and a black qi escaped from the feathers around him. . Wuxin and Su Tao both slept, Bai Liuli hid in Wuxin's arms and also slept, the owl was very lonely and turned into a little boy, with Wuxin and Su Tao's hands under their armpits. Grabbing the ground with his toes, he felt a little squatted on the flat ground. So before he alerted others, he changed back to the image of an owl.

After the night, the sky is bright. Wuxin and Su Tao were still drowsy and dazed by the fire pond, when they suddenly heard a scolding from outside the tent. Su Tao was startled, and immediately widened her eyes. And Wuxin got up and lifted the curtain, and the cat got out on his waist: "What's going on?"

The visitor, a man in his forties, pointed his finger at the thin bones outside the tent and scolded: "I said you two are not authentic enough, you dare to steal something to eat when you first arrive!"

Inadvertently asked: "What did I steal?"

The man shouted: "You still have the face to ask me? Look at what's on the ground? You dare say you didn't steal my chicken?"

Wanxin nodded: "I dare. You bent over to see clearly, it was a chicken bone or a squirrel bone." After he finished speaking, he turned around to the back of the tent, and brought four squirrel skins that were peeled off. He whipped the fur and slapped it on the opponent's face, and he aggressively asked, "Let's see what the **** is this skin? Is it chicken skin or squirrel skin?"

He was aggressive with reason, and the man's arrogance immediately fell. After hesitating a few words in his mouth, the man was defeated and left. But Wuxin turned around and went back to the tent, only to see Su Tao's face with an uncertain color, and a big owl squatting beside him.

Inadvertently placed the squirrel skin by the fire, and began to think about how to exchange the skin for money. Su Tao whispered: "Do they suspect that we are thieves?"

Wuxin waved his hand: "Don't worry about them, maybe we are newcomers and want to blackmail us."

Su Tao hugged her knees: "Do they bully people too?"

Wanxin reached out and touched the back of her head: "It's okay, I'm there. I'm not afraid of anyone when it comes to fighting alone."

At noon, the two of them ate all the food they had stored, and were about to go hunting in the forest again. When they got out of the tent, they realized that there was really a robbery in the village. The whole village lost seven or eight big fat chickens last night. Oil and water are scarce these days. Losing chickens can hurt people's blood, so people in the village are panicking. All the poultry raising fences are reinforced, for fear that they will suffer further losses tonight.
