Chapter 166 It turns out that you may not find love around a corner
Shen Zhiqiu nudged his son's head with his chin, feeling very pleased, but he scolded him with a smile: "Don't rub your greasy mouth on my neck, you're rubbing the grease all over me."
Then he put down the bowl and took a pig's tusk from his neck: "Come and take it, one for you and one for your sister!"
Shen Luming was suspicious: "What is this?"
Shen Zhiqiu said: "Wild boar teeth are used to ward off evil spirits. Wearing them makes you look manly and helps you find a partner."
The kid's eyes were all confused: "What is the object?"
"It's my wife."
The boy understood now that he was a man and would marry a wife in the future, so he was about to take the pig's tusk and put it on.
Shen Zhiqiu fed his son a bite of the bun and whispered nonsense in his ear:
"Let me tell you, in the past, if our ancestors wanted to find a wife, they had to be able to hunt and kill wild animals. Then they would wrap their skins around their bodies. The more powerful the animal, the more they would want to wrap their skins around their bodies.
There are also these animal fangs inserted on the top of the head or around the neck, and there are a lot of them, in strings. When they go out, it means, look at what I am wearing, follow me, and you will definitely have more meat than you can eat. How awesome is that, do you want to follow me?
Think about it, my son. This is manliness. The teeth of a tiger are stuck on the top of the head, and the teeth of a wolf and a lion are hung around the neck. This means that he is strong and can hunt and support his wife. "
Shen Luming, who was about to take the pig's fang, pushed it away with his little hand, saying, "I don't want this. I want to take the wolf king's fang tomorrow. Didn't we fight the wolf's fang last time? Why didn't you give me that?"
Shen Zhiqiu thought, oh, you are a five-year-old kid, but you are still quite competitive. However, I guess Master Shen hasn't thrown the wolf tooth yet, so it may not have a hole in it yet.
That old man is really something. He is so good at keeping wolf bones as bone grinding needles.
Everyone had a lively dinner. The children felt like they were celebrating the New Year again, and many of the men had tears in their eyes while drinking the pork soup.
It is said that while Shen Fugui was eating the pork soup, he squatted in a corner holding the bowl and wiped his tears.
While eating, he said, this is the taste, this is the taste!
What could it taste like? Wild boar offal is fishy and there is no other seasoning except salt. Do you think it tastes good?
It's meat buns with more radish and very little meat. You can hardly taste any meat flavor. But the children are deceiving themselves by saying that they are so fragrant and greasy.
Where is the greasy sound? If the rich and powerful heard it, the young ladies and young masters would just listen to it for fun.
So after eating and drinking, it’s time to take a rest as they will continue their journey tomorrow.
We have only gone two-thirds of the way in this long march, and the road ahead is still ahead.
Just like this, day after day, day and night!
Everyone returned to traveling during the day, collecting wild vegetables, processing the wild vegetables at night, and cooking the day's meals. The sleeping time was about three hours.
Shen Youyou couldn't wake up and didn't get enough rest. She thought about turning back and going back to live in the cave. Anyway, she had never thought about getting married, so living in seclusion in the mountains was nice.
But looking at the people around him, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
She just looked at her sisters and her elderly grandparents, who were still gritting their teeth and insisting on the same itinerary. What else could she say?
The little brothers and sisters were walking for longer and longer periods of time along the way because they collected more and more food.
But the kids have no complaints. When they really can’t walk anymore, they ask their parents when they can get there.
Shen Youyou wiped the sweat off her face. It was really like walking from February to early April again. In the middle, she was drenched in cold water by the sudden rainfall.
If we hadn't found a cave to warm ourselves by the fire in time, and if we hadn't had the medicine made by Grandpa Guo to prevent colds for everyone, everyone would have probably fallen ill.
At this time they also saw living people on the road, in groups of three or five, all of them had pale faces and thin bodies, with their eyes deeply sunken.
At that time, Shen Zhiqiu, Shen Youyou and Li Jingshu were really stunned by the excitement on everyone's faces. How could they be so happy just to see a living person?
In fact, the three of them also had grins on their faces, as if seeing these living people had anything to do with them.
Especially the living people we met this time can really survive, because spring is here, flowers are blooming, and all things are reviving. Even digging wild vegetables can fill everyone's stomach, and there is no longer any trouble from drought.
As long as you have food and drink, you can survive, even if you are as thin as a dry tree now.
However, when these people saw their guys, the looks they showed were quite unfriendly, and the calculation and greed in their eyes were too obvious.
Shen Zhiqiu, who originally wanted to go up and ask someone what was going on down the mountain, stopped.
At this moment, everyone had the same idea as Shen Zhiqiu: this was not a group of people that could be gathered together, so they had to leave quickly!
Shen Zhiqiu called on everyone to put all their belongings out in the open to open their eyes, lest anyone dare to snatch them.
At the same time, it also speeded up people's pace.
The refugees thought they had found a fat sheep because there were many carts and everyone looked well fed and didn't look hungry.
The most important thing is that they have clothes, bedding, pots and pans.
But when those big knife blades were revealed, they all retreated.
Look at this group of people. The men are strong and muscular, and the blades of their knives are polished to a shine. You can tell at a glance that they are used frequently.
You might think that this is the bandit coming back from a robbery, so don't get close to him.
What was especially strange was what they were wearing. Even though they were not dressed well, their shoes looked so different. And everyone was covering their faces. Both men and women wore straw hats, with four holes on their faces showing their eyes, noses and mouths. They did not look like good people at all.
They walked for about another two hours without stopping to eat. They just took out some dried wild boar meat and some kudzu root cake from their arms and ate a few bites.
Shen Youyou noticed that her grandmother kept looking at her: "Grandma, why are you always looking at me? I have covered my face tightly."
Shen Zhiqiu had specifically instructed them to dress this way, because after they set out today, they saw traces of ash left by people making fires and cooking on the road.
At that time, Shen Zhiqiu instructed everyone, regardless of gender, to comb their hair into a bun and wear straw hats to cover their faces.
If we meet someone difficult to get along with ahead, we can still put on some pretense.
Look at the idiom used by our Shen Xiaosanyuan. Even Shen Youyou felt helpless when hearing it.
Mrs. Hua said, "Why don't you say you're tired?"
Shen Youyou sighed: "Grandma, I still know how to tell the time apart. If we don't leave quickly, we might have to fight again. Don't look at how messed up they are.
But the harder the situation, the more they risk their lives. As long as they rob us, they will be much better off. Do you think if we hesitate for a while, they will be unable to resist and attack us?"
It was not until nightfall, probably around ten o'clock in modern time, that the group of people disappeared.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. When they didn't meet anyone, they looked forward to meeting them.
But when I really met you, I found that it would be better if we had not met!
