Chapter 14 The Good Dog
In the silent atmosphere, the three of them and one dog had already left Li Jiawan behind and stood on the ridge. Niutou Town in the distance had already come into view.
Niutou Town is surrounded by a small river on three sides, and one-third of the river is in a state of no flow during the year.
If the earth is compared to paper and that river is compared to strokes, the river just outlines Niutou Town into a not very regular bull head shape, which is also the origin of the name Niutou Town.
Turning around and looking nostalgic at the direction of Lijiawan, Li Shan, who was carrying Li Dashu, said in a muffled voice: "Let's go."
Li Yu nodded and followed.
What they didn't know about Li Yu and the other two who left Li Jiawan and went to the town was that shortly after they left, some of the burning corpses in the burning buildings in Li Jiawan that were not very burning, and they moved!
Especially the building that was lit at first, a coke-like corpse stood up shakingly, and some carbonized parts of his body were still burning, but he stood up, and his throat made a devilish hoarse roar, accompanied by the sparks...
There is only a small path leading to the town of Lijiawan, and vehicles cannot pass through, so they can only walk on their legs.
On the way down the mountain, Li Yu's stomach started to growl.
He hasn't eaten since that morning. Now he is almost at the height of the sky, so it would be strange if he is not hungry.
Li Shan glanced at Li Yu and said in a muffled voice: "There is a place to rest not far ahead. Let's rest there for a while. I'll find a way to get something to eat."
He is an adult and an elder. If nothing unexpected happens, the three of them will probably be left in Lijiawan. As a simple farmer, Li Shan instinctively assumed the responsibility of taking care of the younger generation.
They were all born in poverty, and many times, everyone helped each other to live a life, not as thoughtful as the people in the city.
When he arrived at a resting place, a lawn on the side of the road, Li Shan put down Li Dashu and said to Li Yu: "I'll go and get some wild game. You are here to look at the big tree. If he wakes up, you must advise him not to be excited."
"Okay, second uncle, be careful," Li Yu nodded.
Li Shan patted the hunting bow on his body and said, "Don't worry, I know that I have been hunting with my elders since I was twelve years old. It's not easy to get some wild game. You can stay here, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, Li Shan looked at the direction, touched the grass and turned a few turns and disappeared.
Li Shan went hunting, but Li Yu saw that the big tree had not woken up, so he searched for firewood around him, which should be used later.
It is easy to find the wild firewood in autumn. After a while, Li Yu picked up a bunch of them. Li Shan did not come back, so he could only return to the lawn and wait quietly.
Not long after, Li Shan came back and carried a fat hare. The rabbit's head had traces of being penetrated by arrows. It was afraid that it would be less than ten kilograms, which would be enough for the three of them to eat.
Seeing that the big tree had not woken up, Li Shan put down the rabbit and said, "Now there is no tools or water, so the rabbit cannot be processed. I can only throw it into the fire and burn it. At that time, the internal organs and flesh are fed to Dacai, and the meat should be enough for us to eat."
While speaking, Li Shan took out a flint from his arms and started to make a fire. The fire quickly recovered. He cut a small branch on the edge with a pig-killing knife, sharpened it and set it on the fire and roasted it.
The burnt rabbit hair smells bad, but now I can't take care of so much.
In the silent atmosphere, Li Dashu woke up. When he woke up, he did not cry and make a fuss, but just looked at the fire with his eyes blank.
"Big Tree..." Li Yu looked at him and wanted to say something to comfort him, but he couldn't say a word.
Li Dashu shook his head and said hoarsely: "My father and mother are gone, and my wife is gone, and I am the only one left in my family. I will live well. I will find a wife to have a baby in the future and I will not be able to break the incense."
"It's right to think so. My parents will leave sooner or later. I remember that my parents died one after another. At that time, I felt that the sky had collapsed and I had lived to this day. There is no obstacle in this world that cannot be overcome," Li Shan said in a muffled voice.
That being said, Li Yu, who was beside him, felt their suppressed sadness and pain.
Things have happened. What else can you do except to carry the sadness and live a strong life?
Soon after, the rabbit that was burning very black and charcoal was ready to eat. Li Shan first used a pig-killing knife to clean the appearance, and then carefully picked out the internal organs that were shrinking into a ball and threw them to Dacai.
Dacai didn't eat it, and it started eating it after Li Yu nodded. Dacai was not picky about food, and the rabbit's internal organs were also very happy.
The rabbit was cut into two sections by Li Shan, and he divided the fat part behind it into two halves and gave it to Li Yu and Li Dashu, and ate the section in front of the head with little meat.
Without seasoning, it is not a big problem for poor people like Li Yu and others. Moreover, this is meat, and it is delicious when eaten in your mouth.
Dacai, who had eaten his internal organs, lay obediently beside Li Yu, his eyes narrowed, but his ears were erect.
One quarter of the rabbit weighing ten pounds, Li Yu couldn't finish it. After eighty-minute full, he threw the rest to Dacai. Dacai licked Li Yu's hand and then started eating.
Li Shan looked at Dacai and said, "Good dog, I know that my family is poor and I don't compete for food. Come on, I'll eat these too."
As he said that, Li Shan threw the part he had not finished eating to Dacai.
However, Dacai Li ignored what Li Shan threw to it, ate the part given to Li Yu, and after a few bites, he lay next to Li Yu, and still didn't even look at the piece that Li Shan threw to it.
"Dacai, eat it, don't waste it, it's rare to eat meat once," Li Yu said, touching Dacai's head.
Hearing Li Yu's words, Dacai whined at him twice, and then he began to eat the rabbit meat thrown by Li Shan.
"I don't even appreciate my affection," Li Shan said speechlessly.
Li Dashu, who was gnawing rabbit meat over there, said: "Who doesn't know the wealth of Li Yu's family? Even if he starves to death, he will never eat other people's things as long as Li Yu doesn't speak, and he will protect his own family. Two years ago, an outside thief was about to steal Li Yu's family. He was almost bitten to death by Dashu. His legs were almost discounted by the thief and he would not let go."
"My family is the most obedient," Li Yu smiled, touching Dacai's head.
Because of great wealth, the sad atmosphere has diluted a lot.
The food was almost the same. Several people wiped their black mouths and wiped out the fire and continued on the road, because Li Shan didn't have to carry Li Dashu anymore, and the speed was much faster.
Not long after, three people and one dog were approaching Niutou Town, less than three hundred meters away from the entrance of the town.
When approaching Niutou Town, Li Shan seemed a little impatient and could not wait, and his pace was much faster.
Li Yu quickly pulled him and said, "Uncle II, the town is full of monsters, we can't just go in like this."
"I was impulsive," Li Shan stopped and took a deep breath and said.
Looking at the direction of the entrance of the town, Li Yu asked, "Second uncle, where is the eldest sister's home?"
"Just the fifth house that entered the town entrance, the Zhang family noodle restaurant, Da Ya married him," Li Shan pointed ahead and said.
After hearing this, Li Yu frowned and said, "If this happens, the road I walked with Dashu before will not work."
Woo woo woo woo woo ~!
At this moment, Dacai came to Li Yu, his body was low, and sobbing in front of him to warn him.
He was shocked and Li Yu reminded: "Be careful, Dacai should have discovered the danger."
"There is someone in front" Li Dashu looked ahead and said.
Li Yu looked up and his heart sank immediately. More than two hundred meters ahead of them, four swaying figures wandered on the road, and one of them was Wende, who Li Yu had seen this morning.
