Chapter 34 Black Doll
The food brought back is basically cooked, but if it is not too dry, divide it up first.That night, Li Si took the freshly ground grain home and put it in the pot. When the water boiled, a fresh fragrance of the food came out.
Because it is not very dry, it is not easy to peel off the skin when it is ground. Those dirty skins will swell after cooking, and there will be a layer of floating on the soup surface.Wang Xuan was about to scoop it out, but Li Si stopped it. What is it to eat new food with the skin, as long as it can fill your stomach, why haven't you eaten it?
Based on the family size, each person can eat for two days. The village head has already taken a huge risk.
There is a ring of rice oil sticking to the edge of the pot, and it is all scraped off. This is a good thing.
The summer harvest has officially begun. After the tanned children wait for a field to be harvested, it will be their turn, regardless of gender.Harvested wheat, harvested soybeans and peanuts.The children's short legs measure every inch of land in the village.The fallen tassels and soybeans picked up can be brought back, not many, and adults can directly put them into the pounder for pounding.
To make porridge, if you can beat a fresh egg while it is hot, stir and add some salt, it will be delicious.
Wang Xuan's white skin is very distinct from the black and white of the children around him in summer. I don't know how it grows. Obviously, he has not been exposed to the sun, but his darkening is slower than others. He often sleeps at night and basically tans during the day. Some skins are almost repaired.
Among such a group of black monkeys, he was like a random alien.Not to mention anything else, just a dog egg, only the whites of the eyes and uneven teeth are left in the black.His teeth that grow on one side and fall out on the other are so white even if he brushes them frequently.
But the dog doesn't matter, he can't see how dark his face is, he thinks he is not too dark.He only heard people say that standing with Wang Xuan looked more like a black stone, so he laughed a lot.By the way, let it go after a few words.
When the holidays are over, they need to return to school, no matter how they read, they are students after all.An adult like Li Si can't rest, and the summer planting is about to start, and this time the sweet potato is the big one.
For the black dolls in a classroom, it would be difficult to tell which one is a girl and which one is a kid if it is not for the length of hair.If a little girl cuts her hair short, she will basically see no difference in the pile of boys.
The dog's egg is stretched, he has darkened recently but has grown a little stronger than before.On the slender arms, the muscles and muscles are faintly and neatly arranged, and they are strong at first glance, but they are still too thin, and the muscles seem to be attached to the bones.When exerting strength, the thin muscles bulge.
It was still the pitch-black dagger, and the crooked-neck tree in front of the door was almost withered by him for practicing flying knives.Wang Xuan proposed to cut a leg-thick wild tree from the wild and erect it. This can be used as a dart target.Now the stump, the bark that is as high as Goudan's shoulder to head is basically gone.
The small and small gaps in the potholes inside were all pierced by Goudan's flying knife.Now his knife control skills have improved a lot, and he can take two steps back, increase the distance, and continue to contact darts.
Wang Xuan doesn't have as many motor cells as him, he still likes to find a quiet place to stay, and then lower his head to study the prescription in his hand.So he chose the other side from where Goudan practiced, so that the two could still talk and see each other.
This dilapidated house is on the edge of the village, and the nearest old aunt's house is also [-] meters away. A small road comes in, and the bushes and weeds grow in a mess.It seems that their home is more remote, because it is a house for the elderly living alone, so it was remote and dilapidated at the beginning.And because the old man had no children all his life, everyone felt that this man's house was probably not very good. In the end, it was the turn of Li Si and his son who had nowhere to go to the broken house.
So it's really quiet here, the dog egg is swishing there, Wang Xuan is not affected at all, he is immersed in pounding medicine in the bowl left by the temple master.
While pounding, adding herbs into it, I don't know if it's right, I muttered words in my mouth until the medicine dregs inside were basically broken.I saw him throw in the herbs with slightly thicker leaves that were moved out of the space.
Continue to pound, then pick up the rotten little lumps, spread them in the palm of your hand, and rub them lightly with two short and thin palms.It became a small strip, about seven or eight centimeters long, and was gently laid flat on the broken grass mat that was cut into small pieces.
The roots are neatly arranged, and they are taken to a place where the light can shine but not directly, and dry in the semi-shade.
Goudan came over and squatted down, picked it up, and broke it. "...??!"
"It's just rubbed on. If you pick it up like this, it will definitely break."
"WTF?"
"Well..., this one, isn't our mosquito repellent smelly, and it won't smell as soon as I light it up in the future. I saw it in the notes."
"Is it useful?" After all, I slept in the pickle-smelling air every night, and I felt that sour smell all over my body the next day.
"Is there? Anyway, try it, no matter how bad it is, how bad it can be." Not only their house, but also the house that others asked him to have a faint sour smell at night.
As soon as someone enters the house, hey, your house is also using it, and you will know it by smelling it.Kindness comes out of nothing.At night, the house always smells like this.
Some people don't care about the sour smell, as long as there are no mosquitoes.
But some people can't stand it and would rather be bitten by mosquitoes. Anyway, didn't they all come here before.Now it's all right, there are no more mosquitoes in the houses of those who have mosquito repellent blocks, but there are more mosquitoes in the houses of those who don't want to smell the smell.There is no way, the mosquitoes also know where to look, so they all go there.
"Wouldn't the two flavors smell bad together? Is it true or not?"
Wang Xuan's cheeks puffed up, "The note said that different medicinal materials have different tastes and effects. If different properties are mixed, there will be some changes, either poisonous or able to cure diseases and save lives. The smell is the same, just Let's see if we can find the recipe."
Wang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I just rubbed it and dried it in the sun. It will be burned together with the mosquito repellent block, and it will produce another smell..."
"Not poisonous?" Didn't you just say that toxins might be produced?
Wang Xuan paused, "Not poisonous." Then he confirmed "It's really not poisonous. The formula of these two medicines is very simple. It will only produce an unpleasant smell for mosquitoes, but it will not affect people. They can't even kill mosquitoes." , will only make them dislike it. Although the mosquito repellent block has a bad taste, it is not poisonous."
"If you dry this, put it in a brazier and burn it slowly, and then throw the mosquito repellent into it, the smell will immediately become fragrant." Wang Xuan piled the two things together and told Goudan what he found.
"Then why don't you just mix the formula of the mosquito repellent block with this, this, the formula that has just been twisted into sticks, and make them into incense sticks, and then just ignite them directly."
Goudan pointed to the two things in front of him, "If you separate them like this, it will be troublesome to make or light them."
Wang Xuan froze, "This, this, yes!"
Why didn't I think of it, I just wanted to follow the same pattern in the notes, why didn't I think about it, change it, and then just mix it up.
"This time, let's just leave it this time, and we'll talk about it later."
Wang Xuan quickly and carefully carried the rough flat made of square broken straw mats, "Hurry up and help."
"Oh." Since Wang Xuan was angry, let's not say more.
"It has to be put on top, otherwise it will be bad if the chickens and ducks step on it." Most of the chickens and ducks in the village are free-range, so there are not many chickens, but all the chickens in the village are free-range, and they have to peck at everything they see. Rake a rake.This is not good.
…………
"God, where's your father?"
"Inside the house. Dad, the village chief is looking for you." Goudan shouted into the house as he spoke.
The village patted the back of his head, "Okay, let's go play."
Goudan rubbed his head and glared at the village chief.Although it is said that his forehead is high and the back of his head protrudes, but he doesn't want to be touched by adults.
It is said that the back of his head is comfortable to the touch, and the protruding back of the head is supported in the palm, which can fill the palm.It feels good to the touch.Goudan is balding again and rubbing his head, messing up his hair, so stay away from adults in the future.
Hearing his son's shout, Li Si made Wang Xuan optimistic about the fire and came out.Not knowing what to say, he took a low stool to the village chief, who waved his hand, "I'm just here to talk, and I'll leave when I agree. Tomorrow, I will draw some people from the village to escort the grain to the county town for delivery. You can go too when you grow up. It’s possible to go two or three days sooner, or four or five days slower.”
"Ah, isn't it handed over in the town?" Goudan asked after hearing this. He remembered that the last time he went there was in the commune, and the commune would take it away with a Dongfeng truck.
How tall is that car, it is simply too majestic than the broken car going to the county.
"I'm going to go up this year. What do we know, let's do what the public says. Okay, pack up, and gather at the granary of the ancestral hall tomorrow. Get up early, and I will get up in the middle of the night. I have to talk to other people. say."
It is basically determined who will go to the individual and who will not, and it is enough to notify.This year, it is estimated that the entire village under the commune is like this, and there may be other villages under the commune.
"At that time, if all the villages in a county are like this, then there will be queues at that time, and you don't know when to go. Be more prepared."
Because the second half of last year was almost a cut-off, this time the trip was far away, and there were too many people who carried the burdens and pushed the grain carts, and the team couldn't manage the food.In addition, it may take a long time, how can there be so much food in the team for such light and strong people to eat.
This makes me a little reluctant to go, the county is so far away, and I only rely on two legs. There are not many ox carts in the village, and there are not many push carts.At that time, someone will have to take turns to carry the burden, on a hot day.Can this work be done well?
The summer harvest has just ended, and people are almost showing a layer of skin. This is going to kill people!
But what's the use of howling again, what should be done.It is said that if they procrastinate, they will have to drag them to the city by themselves after the time has passed and the food harvesters will leave.
Is that worth it? !
Whether you like it or not, if you are notified, your family will get someone, and if there are more brothers, you will get two or three people.Are you having trouble at home?Okay, you have a large family. If counted by population, does your family have to pay a lot of public food?Not to mention those who are not young and strong, such as widows with children, old people with grandchildren, these people can be exempted.
But all the men in the family who are under 40 must go, yours won't?
No matter how dissatisfied you are, you can only talk to the village head. When the time comes, you have to go if you don't.
Goudan heard that this time it was the county seat, and his little heart kept beating non-stop.
