Urging one after another, the dog woke up from his sleep.
He turned over on the hard wooden bed, rubbed his eyes and climbed up.
He smacked his lips, and the dog felt strange.
He had a very long and strange dream last night, but now he can't recall the scene in the dream at all.
The call from outside the house forced the dog to stop remembering and quickly put on his coat and went out.
A middle-aged man was sharpening a knife in the courtyard. When he heard the footsteps of a dog running out, he said without raising his head: "Breakfast is on the table. After you finish eating, go to work in the fields. Today, dad is going to hunt with the hunter."
The team goes out hunting."
"Why!"
Gouzi subconsciously agreed, but felt something was wrong.
But he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"What are you doing standing still?"
The rough-looking middle-aged man scolded: "Don't waste time, our rations for next year will depend on those three acres of land!"
The dog panicked and quickly ran back into the house.
I saw a bowl of cooked potatoes and a plate of pickled pickles on the small table.
He took a potato, peeled off the rough skin skillfully, and then ate it with the sour pickles. The dog wolfed it down.
As Lulu's hunger was gradually filled, many past memories emerged in Gouzi's mind.
His name is Chen Ergou. He has just turned fifteen this year. His mother died young and he has been living with his father Chen Qiaoshan.
Xiaoshi Village, where the father and son live, has a total of more than 100 households and 400 to 500 villagers. It is considered a quite large village.
Chen Qiaoshan is a member of the village hunting team and often goes deep into the fog to hunt wild beasts with the hunting team.
Chen Ergou started working in the fields when he was five or six years old.
Now he is a qualified farmer.
Stuffing the last potato in the bowl into his mouth, Chen Ergou hurriedly swallowed it, then cleaned it up as quickly as possible, picked up the hoe placed in the corner and left the house.
Chen Qiaoshan was waiting for him at the door. Without saying anything, the father and son rushed towards the entrance of the village.
The houses in Xiaoshi Village are all built with large stones. The gaps between the stones are filled with yellow mud mixed with sand and gravel, and the roofs are covered with slates. They are quite primitive and rough.
Although such a stone house has poor lighting and ventilation, it is strong and safe.
In the early morning, the entire village was shrouded in mist. When you looked up, the sky was gray and only an outline of the sun could be seen.
But this is already considered good weather!
At the entrance of the village, the two saw the hunting team ready to go.
"Brother Qiao Shan!"
Someone greeted Chen Qiaoshan: "Come here quickly!"
"coming!"
Chen Qiaoshan waved his hand, then touched Chen Ergou's head and said, "Gouzi, go home and stay there after you finish your work. Don't run around in the village. Wait until I come back, okay?"
"Um!"
Chen Ergou nodded vigorously.
Ever since he was sensible, he has never set foot outside Xiaoshi Village.
The village is pretty good inside, but the world outside the village is shrouded in fog. If someone who is unfamiliar with the situation runs out, there is basically no possibility of coming back alive.
Because there are often ferocious beasts in the fog that eat people without spitting out their bones!
Chen Ergou is different from the naughty children in the village. He does not have that kind of strong curiosity. He also keeps his father's warning in mind and has never done anything rebellious.
Carrying a heavy stone hoe, Chen Ergou came to the Tunwei field at the east end of the village.
All the arable land in Xiaoshi Village is here, totaling more than 500 acres. Except for a few large households, basically every household is allocated about three acres.
The most basic food rations for a family must be obtained from these three acres of land.
When Chen Ergou came over, there were already many men, women, old and young plowing the fields, weeding, fertilizing and watering.
Everyone was so busy that no one paid attention to his arrival.
Chen Ergou came to his field and looked at the weeds that had grown overnight. He spat into his rough palm, then grabbed the hoe handle and started working.
These weeds compete for the nutrients of the potato, grow quickly and are difficult to eradicate, which is very annoying!
Chen Ergou can be regarded as an old farmer, and he is young and strong, so after hard work, it didn't take long to clear all the weeds in the field.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt a sense of satisfaction.
The next step is to water the potatoes.
Although potato is drought-tolerant, it grows best when there is sufficient moisture. If cultivated intensively, one acre can produce hundreds of kilograms of usable roots, which is a food that people in the village eat every day.
Therefore, it must be watered every day, once in the morning and evening.
At this time, Chen Ergou subconsciously rubbed his fingers, thumb, middle finger and little finger to make a strange gesture.
Um?
After completing this action, Chen Ergou was stunned.
He didn't understand why he made such a gesture. He could say it was a whim, but he wasn't so familiar and skilled!
Chen Ergou couldn't help scratching his head, feeling like he was going crazy.
Something felt wrong when I woke up this morning!
The fifteen-year-old boy patted his face hard and hurriedly took the bucket to scoop water from the river.
There is a small river next to the fields in Tunwei. The water in the river is clear and dry all year round. It is the most important water source in Xiaoshi Village.
Chen Ergou filled a bucket of water by the river, and when he was about to go back, he suddenly felt something strange.
He suddenly turned his head to look, but he only saw the mist floating on the river, and nothing else.
It’s crazy!
Chen Ergou shook his head and returned carrying the heavy bucket.
"Dog!"
As a result, just halfway through, several teenagers about the same age as Chen Ergou blocked his way.
"Give me the bucket!"
The leading boy's stout figure and menacing appearance gave Chen Ergou an instinctive fear, and he subconsciously wanted to hand the barrel over to him.
However, it suddenly occurred to him that the person in front of him had snatched the bucket from him before. Although he returned it later, it also delayed his watering, which had a negative impact on the potatoes he planted.
Causes production to drop!
Chen Ergou retracted his hand and blurted out: "No, you have to fetch water yourself!"
The stout boy's eyes suddenly widened.
He had bullied Chen Ergou for more than a day or two. Today was the first time he saw the latter resisting him, and he immediately felt humiliated.
"You have to give it even if you don't give it!"
The stout boy clenched his fist viciously: "Otherwise I'll beat you up!"
But Chen Ergou was determined at this moment, and he was going to bypass the opponent with the bucket.
The stout young man was so angry that he punched Chen Ergou without thinking.
He had just learned a few martial arts moves from his family elders two days ago, and now he used them naturally, punching Chen Ergou on the head.
boom!
Chen Ergou couldn't dodge and took the punch. He was immediately dizzy and unconscious, and the severe pain seemed to stimulate a certain part of his mind.
Immediately, countless memories broke out and occupied Chen Ergou's brain.
His eyes turned white and he fell to the ground with a thud!
