Chapter 30
Chapter 30
This is the first time they have gone to collect beast traps with the dumb uncle.
Bai Yunmo didn't know what it was, but the good mother-in-law said, you have to follow the mute, don't run around, the forest is deep in the snow, there are many wild animals, don't step on the trap by yourself, it will be bad, and you will become like your dumb uncle with fewer feet .
Zisang was indeed frightened by the good mother-in-law's words, she dragged Bai Yunmo's clothes along the way, Bai Yunmo pulled the mute uncle's hem, Daxue and Ah Piao kept the good mother-in-law in the yard and refused to follow.
The dumb uncle walked in front with a cane. After taking a step, he would stop and insert the cane in his hand into the snow, and then lift his body and jump forward. Every time at this time, Bai Yunmo would let go of his hem , wait for him to jump over, and then follow up.
The whole process is very slow.
After walking for a long time, they found a place where the traps were placed. Bai Yunmo's eyes lit up and she called out happily, she said, it was a sheep.
Zisang saw a live sheep for the first time. It had pointed horns and was covered with a layer of white wool, which was very similar to the color of snow. One of its legs was tightly pressed by an iron clamp.
The dumb uncle stretched out his hand to Zisang and made a gesture of knocking something, and Zisang took out a small ax from the frame on his back and handed it over.The dumb uncle took up the ax and smashed the back of the ax at the goat's head, causing the goat to twitch.
Zisang was taken aback and panicked.
After coming back, the dumb uncle opened up the goat, Bai Yunmo was busy, following the example, and pulled Zisang to watch it from time to time, but Zisang kept turning away
She said, I dare not look at it, and the host said that breaking the precept of killing is going to hell.
Bai Yunmo doesn't understand Buddhism and doesn't recite scriptures, she said, but if the dumb uncle doesn't catch sheep and kill wild animals, we won't have anything to eat.
Bai Yunmo said, I want to be like an uncle in the future, I can grab whatever I want to eat, and I can eat everywhere I go, so why do I have to buy it from others? Don't be like my mother who wants to make money every day and do what is the best in the world Big trading company.
After this time, Zisang didn't like to follow him to the mountains to hunt for beasts, until the dumb uncle was injured for the second time.
Last time there were not many sheep left, so the dumb uncle and Bai Yunmo went to look for animal traps again to see if they caught anything. Zisang stayed to clean up the house as usual, accompanied the good mother-in-law, and played with Daxue Apiao.
Daxue Apiao is very smart, she can already understand their names, and she can also understand simple instructions, such as pointing, biting, and rolling. These were taught by Bai Yunmo. Bai Yunmo said that some of her aunts raised puppies, Puppies are taught this way.
The good mother-in-law always said that these two were not dogs, but wolves, silver wolves, who could grow as big as colts.
The good mother-in-law said that wolves will bite people when they grow up, but Bai Yunmo didn't believe it. She said that Da Xue and A Piao didn't bite people.
In the evening, Bai Yunmo and the dumb uncle hadn't come back yet, so Zisang was a little worried.
Zisang wrapped herself in a fur coat and told her good mother-in-law, "I'll go find them."
The good mother-in-law asked Zisang to bring both A Piao and Daxue with her. She said, if something happens to you, they will come back to report.
Zisang said that nothing would happen to me, but she still took the two little wolves with her.
She held a rough hatchet in her hand, and the snow was very quiet, so quiet that the sound of footsteps was scary, and occasionally there were birds chirping, and the sound of suddenly frozen branches breaking.
She wasn't sure which animal pit Uncle Mute and Bai Yunmo went to. Every few steps she took, she would stop and stab a few times with a hatchet to avoid stepping on the animal trap covered by snow.
She called Bai Yunmo's name in the snow.
There was no response for a long time, only the snow falling from time to time because of her passing by.
After walking for a long time in a range that she could recognize back home, she heard a very messy sound, a roaring sound, and felt the ground under her feet vibrate.
She was frightened when she heard the roar, even Daxue and A Piao were stunned.
She secretly looked around, she heard Bai Yunmo's childish cry from the roar, she ran around, and finally saw Bai Yunmo in the valley, and there was a hairy thing pressing on the dumb uncle body.
Bai Yunmo fell to the side and cried and called the dumb uncle, the bow and arrow in his hand broke in two.
When he ran closer, Zisang noticed that the monster's leg was broken by the clamp, and one of its front legs was also broken, but its other front paw kept scratching towards the dumb uncle.
The uncle's face was also covered with blood, and he must have been deadlocked for a long time.
Zisang wanted to turn around and run away. She didn't know what to do, but when she thought that the beast was caught in the trap and couldn't run away, she bravely came forward and called Bai Yunmo.
When Bai Yunmo heard her voice, she hurriedly yelled, her immature voice was already hoarse, she said, Zisang, help the uncle quickly, and hit the big bear quickly.
It turned out to be a bear.
The black bear roared, with transparent saliva dripping from its mouth. The uncle held the only arm of the black bear with his hands, and wanted to turn over, but he couldn't be so flexible without a foot. The upper face was injured and could not be twisted.
Bai Yunmo was still talking, she said, Zisang, hit him quickly, hit him.
Zisang slowly approached, the dumb uncle turned his head to her, and shouted something in a hoarse voice, even though he couldn't make gestures, but after getting along for more than a month, Zisang probably understood that he meant to go away, leave Here it is.
Zisang clenched the hatchet in his hand, and in his heart and mind was the pagoda, the forest of blood and flesh, the hell of cooking wine.
She was very close to the bear, and she raised the hatchet in her hand and slashed at it vigorously, then closed her eyes, waved the hatchet wildly, and chopped several times in a row until she couldn't find any more. She only opened her eyes when she got stronger.
The black bear seemed to fall to the side without making a sound, the dumb uncle gasped and struggled to stand up, Bai Yunmo crawled over to help the dumb uncle get up, only then did Zisang realize that there was a big bloodstain on Bai Yunmo's face.
Both of them were scratched.
When I returned to the hut like this, I was busy for a long time. The dumb uncle was seriously injured, with a few big cuts on his body, the most important thing was a scratch in the eye. The good mother-in-law said, the dumb man is really useless this time.
But the dumb uncle still grinned. When he smiled, the scars on his face were twisted together, which was very scary.
Bai Yunmo was scratched with a mark on his shoulder, and his body was wrapped in Emperor Jin's animal skin, so the injury was not deep.
Bai Yunmo said, Zisang, luckily you came, otherwise the dumb uncle would have been eaten by a black bear.
Zisang was covered in blood and had no clothes to replace. Under the snowy moon, she shone a plate of clear water and scrubbed the blood from her face and hands over and over again.
No matter how you wash it, it's still smelly.
On the second day, there was nothing to eat at home.
The good mother-in-law started messing around, sitting next to the dumb uncle and babbling, she said, it's all my old woman's fault, it's useless, now our mother and I are going to hell hand in hand.
The dumb uncle was still grinning, shaking his head all the time, but he wanted to get up, but he couldn't get up. He went out early yesterday with Bai Yunmo and came back late. He didn't eat anything. After carrying the black bear for a long time, he was exhausted. , and shed a lot of blood, so naturally he could only lie down.
Bai Yunmo searched around the house, and even the potatoes were gone. The good mother-in-law said that the potatoes were bought by the dumb uncle with animal skins and meat from people outside the mountain.
The dumb uncle has only one foot now, and he doesn't have the ability to walk out through the heavy snow, so naturally there will be no rice and potatoes.
Bai Yunmo's face was sallow, she said, Zisang, I'm so hungry.
Sitting in front of the house, Zisang gently scraped the remaining blood on her nails with thin ice, scrubbed and washed, and then scraped again, but her hands still felt fishy.
Bai Yunmo hugged Ah Piao, and leaned weakly on her lap. She said, Zisang, what are you doing?
Zisang said, did nothing, she said, let's go, let's go to the trap.
Bai Yunmo said, what are you doing there.
Zisang said that the bears that were finally caught had to be brought back to be skinned and frozen, so they could be eaten for a long time.
Bai Yunmo said, but you don't know how to peel.
Zisang said, I will learn.
Bai Yunmo said that when opening the meat, one knife should go down, and it should be done quickly and neatly. The good mother-in-law said that the meat should be cut neatly.
Zisang said, good.
Bai Yunmo asked Zisang, didn't you say, kill like that?
Zisang grabbed a handful of snow from the ground, rubbed her face, the air suddenly became clear, and the sky and the earth became so free and easy, regardless of you and me, she looked at the front and said, if you don’t kill it, it will die. I will eat uncle, I will eat you, and I will eat me.
The two walked hand in hand in the snowy forest, with two little wolves bouncing around behind them.
"Zisang, Uncle has lost his sight in one eye. Have you noticed that he tilts his head when he looks at me?"
"Ah."
"Zisang, I think uncle is really kind to me. He never cares what I do, and always plays with me. He is just like my father."
"Who is your father?"
"do not know."
"..."
"Zisang, the dumb uncle taught me how to put traps. From now on, we will hunt here and catch a lot of sheep for the uncle to eat, so that he will not come out."
"Can you hold the animal trap?"
"..."
"I can handle it."
"What if we catch a bear next time?"
"Shoot it with your arrows."
"I shot, but couldn't get in."
"Then I'll kill it."
"No, that's how the dumb uncle got hurt."
"No, the dumb uncle was hurt by it because he couldn't walk."
"Zisang, you're not like you anymore."
"Yunmo, I'm still me."
It's just to get rid of the entanglement of all Buddhas.
Pick up the butcher's knife, where is it not purgatory, killing for benevolence, how can it not be compassion, between Xumi, gods and demons are born.
The author has something to say:
I've always wanted to pull Zisang out of that depressed state...
