Chapter 8 The Hen Crows at Dawn

  A large bowl of braised duck was placed on the dinner table, with golden oil flowers floating in the soup, accompanied by wild mushrooms and small green vegetables, as well as a few red chili peppers, the flavor was quite good.

  Chu Nan held a coarse ceramic bowl and drank the soup in big gulps, her nose tip sweating again.

  She smiled and chatted with Yu Xiaoling while eating, and also asked about the two elderly people's well-being. Even Shi Gaozi was praised by her for a couple of sentences, saying he walked quickly and had a strong sense of justice! Shi Gaozi's face turned bright red, not daring to look at Chu Nan straight in the eye, but his heart was excited beyond words... The fairy government is talking to me...

  Yu Gen Shun was treated as air by Chu Nan, and Yu Gen Shun also had the self-awareness of being air, just focusing on eating meat. The hen crows at dawn, the guest steals the host, food is not spoken, sleep is not spoken... This woman must not be from a wealthy family background, lacking in upbringing.

  The staple food is a mixture of sticky rice cakes, which look black and feel sticky when chewed, only to feel coarse when swallowed, with a bit of a choking sensation.

  This is something that Yu Gen Shun knows, highland barley flour mixed with buckwheat flour, or even sweet potato flour? In the mountain stronghold when food was scarce, they also ate this stuff. Actually, even if food was scarce, it wouldn't be scarce on Zong Piao's body, Zong Piao eating this is just a way of sharing the bitterness and hardship with his brothers.

  The land of Zangma Mountain is barren and cannot grow wheat or rice, only some miscellaneous grains can be grown, but the yield is low. However, relying on the mountain to eat, the mountain people hunt wild game, pick some mountain treasures, and can also go out of the mountain to exchange for grain and daily necessities.

  Yu Gen Shun looked up to see the old man and woman each holding a pancake in their hands, eating quietly without making a sound, but there was no duck bone head in front of them! Earlier, Yu Gen Shun had eaten a whole bunch of duck bone heads, and now they were piled up in front of him...

  Alright, one duck has two legs, two ducks have four legs. The four of them each had a leg, and they've already eaten it up. Judging from the way my sister and little brother are eating, this duck meat is clearly not our usual daily food...

  Sixty years later, is life in the mountains still bitter?

  Yu Gen Shun didn't know that there were over a thousand ducks being raised in the pond, and life shouldn't be so difficult. The old man couldn't bear to eat meat, but it was because his family had been supporting two students for a long time, which was a heavy burden. The old man said that even if he had to sell all his belongings, he would still support the children's education. But now, Yu Gen Shun is about to graduate, and his job prospects are uncertain.

  College students who walk out of the mountains, of course, have to rely on themselves. As for Yu Gen Shun, who is not very capable, except for studying, he can't do anything else. Where can he go to find a job? Ah, poor Yu Gen Shun.

  Yu Gen Shun now somewhat understood, these old men and women should be his parents and his sister's parents, right? Although they look a bit too old, all in their sixties or seventies, like grandparents.

  Now that I'm here, at least let these two old people and my sister have a good meal of duck meat. Little Cripple counts as one too!

  But how can I make a living? Going back to my old job doesn't seem like an option! As my sister and Shi Laosi would say, it's been so many years since liberation.

  To say more, robbery - no, upholding justice - is also not the strong point of Zuo Botong, that's the business of Ma Wangye and his brothers.

  Duck?

  Yu Gen Shun suddenly remembered, "Shi Jia Old Duck", that's a famous traditional dish in Pingyang!

  Yunü is the "Stone Family Old Duck" Shi tribe's eldest daughter, who personally taught Zong Piao Ba Zi. Although it was just a domestic pleasure, Zong Piao Ba Zi still remembered the main ingredients and general process of the "Stone Family Old Duck".

  Let's put this matter aside for now. As the saying goes, "A gentleman keeps a distance from the kitchen", do I have to become a cook? Since we've arrived in the 60s - on this point, Yu Gen Shun has already acknowledged it, what else can he do? - we will eventually find a place to settle down!

  The current plan is to find Yunu and Wa first, whether it's a boy or girl. When searching, even if found, must be done quietly. If appearing in front of the two women with great fanfare, there's no way to explain! A 78-year-old mother, a 60-year-old daughter, and a father in his twenties? Probably can only silently wait on the side.

  This sister is not that sister's, where is Musashi? Not found in the previous life, this life may be even more hopeless. If Musashi were alive, he would also be 76 years old...

  "Uncle Yu, thank you for your hospitality, the duck was delicious. It's getting late, I should head back."

  After dinner, Chu Nan bid farewell. Yu Gui took a look at the sky outside and saw that there was only a crescent moon in the sky. It's better to be careful when going down the mountain at this time. He wanted to stay overnight, but the conditions at home were really too poor, and the Chu government would definitely not be able to accommodate them!

  "Shunzi, go see off the Chu government, it's getting too late."

  If it were yesterday, Yu Guilai wouldn't have said such a thing. After all, no one knows their child better than they do. But today, his son's performance was completely different, and Yu Guilai's expectations for him also rose accordingly.

  "Needless to say?" Yu Gen Shun and Chu Nan said in unison.

  After finishing, both of them were a little surprised and couldn't help but look at each other. Yu Gen Shun was too lazy to care about her, such a capable police officer, still afraid of walking at night? Chu Nan, on the other hand, looked at Yu Gen Shun with disdain, danger? I think you're the most dangerous one in this mountain, don't ever offend me again...

  Guizai's two hands rubbed together again, for a moment he didn't know what to say. The old man had a hard life, but in his whole life, he never asked anyone for help, not even his own son.

  "Let's go!"

  Yu Gen Shun saw the old man in difficulty, turned around and walked out of the door. He thought to himself: Why bother with a woman who has no understanding? It's just as well to take a walk in the mountains, anyway it's a long sleepless night.

  Chu Nan didn't persist and reluctantly followed. The mountains are really dark, is that the howling of wolves in the distance?

  Yu Xiao Ling looked at her brother and Chu Nan's back, with a somewhat complicated expression, said "I'll go too!" and didn't wait for Father's consent before chasing after them.

  Shi Ga Zi was cleaning the table, and seeing this, said to Yu Da Shu, "I'll go see him off too? It's better to have some company on the way back." Yu Gui Lai didn't stop her, so Shi Ga Zi put down her bowl and chopsticks, wiped her hands on her pants, and followed behind.

  Yu Gen Shun walked out the door and was a bit at a loss, with a crescent moon and a pile of stars in the sky, which way to go? Fortunately, Yu Xiao Ling caught up and grabbed her brother's arm.

  The mountain road is rugged and steep, but it's not easy to stay at the root of the slope. Taking big strides, walking with a strong wind. Xiaoling is holding her brother's hand, still jumping up and down a bit. It's Chunan who is taking deep breaths, gritting his teeth and following closely behind. Thinking to myself, this isn't my home turf, shall we try on the 400-meter standard track? Shi Gezi fell behind, he wants to be the last line of defense for Chu government.

  Two or three kilometers after leaving Liangshan Village, there were many lights on the left side of the mountain road hundreds of meters away. Yu Xiaoling whispered, "That's Wawu Village." She didn't seem to be introducing it to her brother, but rather talking to herself.

  Yu Gen Shun patted Yu Xiao Ling's little head, and the younger sister was indeed a clever ghost! Knowing that her brother had "lost his memory", she not only took care of him but also feared that he would be overly anxious, and didn't want others to know, except when Chu Nan drew her gun and urgently explained the situation.

  At this time, a rustling sound came from more than ten meters away in front of the road, and soon disappeared. Yu Gen Shun walked forward without changing his expression, he could hear that there were three or four people hiding there. It seems that there are still brothers on the mountain path? Nobody wants to rob the poor guy, right? That would be unlucky to what extent. Of course, if they have good eyesight and hide without coming out, Yu Gen Shun doesn't want to make things difficult for them either.

  "Who's there? Come out!"

  Chu Nan suddenly shouted loudly when they walked about three or four meters away from there.

  This woman is really annoying! Yu Gen Shun had no choice but to stop, others are lying there cooling off, what's it got to do with you?
