Second Chance Chapter 7

Going into the mountains, this was something that Zhu Pingan had dreamed of. When he returned to the east room, Zhu Pingan began to pester Zhu Shouyi to follow him into the mountains.

“You think it’s fun to go into the mountains, there are black blind men in there that specialize in eating children, quickly don’t go.” Chen was deliberately scaring Zhu Pingan from the side, not wanting him to go along.

This child really do not let people worry, in the village jumping up and down is enough to make people worry, this is good, but also want to follow to go into the mountains, intent not to let my mother live a peaceful life. Chen’s more and more feel that the birth of a son did not give birth to a daughter good, one with a debt like, mischievous not, if grow up after marrying a daughter-in-law forget the mother, they do not know where to go sad it.

Zhu Pingan listened to Chen’s scare, couldn’t help but roll his eyes, really coaxed himself as a child.

“No, there are fat rabbits, pheasants, and delicious fruits inside the mountains.” Zhu Pingan stopped pestering Zhu Shouyi and ran to hug Chen’s thighs.

Zhu Pingan knows who is in charge of the family, his father does not look big and thick, but was Chen’s eaten to death, Chen did not squeak, his father did not even dare to put a fart.

“Did you tell him?” Chen’s pair of almond eyes glared at Zhu Shouyi.

Zhu Shouyi face are scared black, shaking his head, do not dare to provoke Chen’s anger, the last time Chen’s anger, but more than a month to let himself sleep underground, but also do not give a good face to look at, that more than a month is not a person to live in the day, think of all the horror.

“Tomorrow you be good at home, I’ll make you delicious food, if you dare to go out I’ll break your ass!” Chen turned her gaze to Zhu Pingan, coaxing and scaring him.

If Zhu Pingan was really a five year old boy, he would have obediently given in under Chen’s coaxing and scaring, but unfortunately he was not.

“Mother, I want to follow father into the mountains, I want to find good food to honor mother.” Zhu Pingan hugged Chen’s thigh and wouldn’t let go, not relenting.

“Fart, don’t try to coax me with this!” Chen did not have the good sense to say, angry, this bast*rd is just over five years old and wants to go into the mountains, a rabbit can hit you on the head.

“I want to go into the mountains with father!”

Zhu Pingan completely play the spirit of the child lark, no matter how Chen’s how to coax how to scare, Zhu Pingan take this sentence to cope with, into the mountains into the mountains into the mountains into the mountains ……

Chen got angry, turned Zhu Pingan over and pressed him on his lap, snapped, and spanked his butt. Ow, I want to go into the mountain!

Zhu Pingan was beaten by Chen s ow, but still insisted on going into the mountain.

Chen looked at her son, angry teeth ache, and not how hard to beat you, but it squealed like a pig, this son of a b*tch! Do you think going into the mountains is fun, there is no telling what kind of mess is inside the mountains.

“Damn, let’s not let the swine follow, anyway, I’m just on the outskirts of the mountain, not going inside, nothing dangerous.” Zhu Shouyi vocalized.

Chen’s eyes glared over, Zhu Shouyi immediately lowered his head and didn’t squeak.

However, in the end, Chen also in Zhu Pingan stalking under the head agreed to Zhu Pingan followed into the mountains, just not to avoid admonishing a lot of: do not run around, to obediently follow your father; can not mess with food, your father can eat you can eat; do not show off to catch a rabbit ……

The next river village is at the foot of the Woliu Mountain, this Woliu Mountain is not the modern Beijing in Hebei junction of the Woliu Mountain, but roughly in the Anhui, Hubei area, in the Ming Dynasty is located in the Huguang Buzhengzhi (province).

Crouching Bull Mountain is shaped like a crouching bull, so the name Crouching Bull Mountain, it lies horizontally in front of the Cangshan Mountains and dense forests, as if an old bull, the neck of the south for the mountains, the head of the two tall peaks like horns of the bull, the mountains out of the two mountain streams in the jaws out of the confluence of a clear stream, and the opposite side of the mountains far away from each other.

Passage of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, the Supreme Lord Laozi is also Laozi in the road to immortality before riding a green ox, dragging a plank car out of the Hangu Pass to preach and teach, the old oxen learn from experience and spirituality gradually grow. Lao Zi became immortal, not like the later Han Wu Di period of King Liu An of Huainan, a man to get the way of the chicken and dogs, Lao Zi a gas into the three Qing dynasty to get the way and go, the green ox in the back of the bitter pursuit, such as Quafu chased after the sun, exhausted, both eyes with tears prostrate prone to the ground, the body into the mountains, the tears into mountain streams converge into a clear stream ……

This is the oral tradition of Woliu Mountain passed down by the old people of Xiahe Village.

Crouching Bull Mountain peripheral low mountains came a big half a big three figures, the sunlight through the layers of dense foliage sprinkled to the three people, leaving mottled claws and teeth tree shadow, the ground rubble grass and leaves, footsteps fell on it, rustling.

These three people are Zhu Pingan and his father Zhu Shouyi, brother Zhu Pingchuan, Zhu Shouyi and Zhu Pingchuan are carrying a large basket, in addition to Zhu Shouyi also in the waist don’t have a wood chopper. The Ming Dynasty had looser control over cold weapons, bows and arrows, knives and crossbows were allowed to be owned by the people, only armor and firearms were strictly controlled. So Zhu Shouyi also brought a machete, because the family was not a full-time hunter, so bows and crossbows were never available. Zhu father hunter’s level is also under the set to catch some type of animal only.

As for Zhu Pingan well, he carried a special basket, originally Zhu Shouyi is not allowed to let him back, but he insisted, Zhu Shouyi also with him overnight made him a special basket, but also let Chen’s you just spoil him!

“Zhu Shouyi, you can give me a good listen, if two of the missing a hair, come back I will tear you!”

Chen’s voice on the way out of the door is still vaguely roaring in Zhu Shouyi’s ears, walking a step in front of him can’t help but turn back to look at the two of them.

Zhu Pingan striding short legs carrying a basket, puffing and puffing behind the two, from time to time with a hand pounding legs. This into the mountain really is not ordinary people can enter, the mountain road is rugged and bumpy difficult to walk, and the mountain forest inside the seven turns, not experienced hunters, then it is easy to get lost.

This is only the periphery of the mountains, if the mountains are deep, even experienced hunters would not dare to wade in alone.

“Swine son, are you tired, let me carry you.” Zhu Shouyi felt that it was already not easy for his son’s short legs to be able to walk here on his own, and once again couldn’t help but turn around and see Zhu Pingan pounding his legs.

Zhu Pingan immediately shook his head, jokingly, now if you let the back, after returning home, mom will definitely not let the next time to follow into the mountains! Definitely will, hmm, into the mountains are letting people back, still want to enter the mountains, wash and sleep!

So, in order to later into the mountain plan, Zhu Pingan decisively refused, and then the arms and legs to exercise, this is an opportunity to exercise. Before watching the tip of the tongue in China, the mountain inside the countless delicious, this time into the treasure mountain, can not be because of being carried and returned empty-handed.

Zhu Shouyi see Zhu Pingan refused to dry, some accident, but is on Zhu Pingan impressed, this son has a future.

“Second brother, put the basket in my basket first.” Older brother Zhu Pingchuan also wanted to help alleviate Zhu Pingan’s burden.

“No need big brother, I can.” Zhu Pingan insisted on being independent, nothing could stop the heart of a foodie from going into the mountains, not to mention the thought of finding something in the mountains that could improve the family’s economy.

Seeing that Zhu Pingan was resolute, the two men gave up, only slowing down appropriately as they walked.
