Fields of Gold

Chapter 57: Catastrophe

The snow finally stopped and the sun appeared for almost two months. Snow and snow melted slowly on the mountains, sea breezes, cold bones, coastal beaches and reefs, but Cersei's fishermen shook in the cold wind and insisted on rushing to the sea.

“Summer Night, Winter White” is an authentic sea rush, and summer nights and winter days are the best time to catch the sea because of the magnitude and temperature of the regression. Winters are mainly oysters, with appropriate winter temperatures and fat oysters, which can be eaten for days at a time when the harvest is high.

For the villagers of Dongshan, who have just experienced a winter of food shortages, the bounty of the sea is like delivering charcoal in the snow. The people who chase the sea each carry a bamboo basket or a small bamboo basket, either around their necks or across their arms, and grab a small shovel in their hands to find their own "prey” on the reef. There are also busy scenes of villagers netting fish in shallow water, despite the cold sea water.

“Little grass, your boots look warm, waterproof, right?” Asked the rest of the sisters to go to the beach to pick up the seafood Zhou Coral and looked with envy at the deer leather boots screamed by the little grass. Although she doesn't recognize the fabric of the boots, she also knows that they are not generally available.

Yu Xiaowei saw that everyone was wearing worn out cotton shoes, some fearing that the only shoes would be wet by the sea water on the beach or even barefoot grass shoes. During the spring cold season, the penis was frozen red by the cold sea water, some with frostbite.

She shrunk her feet back somewhat embarrassingly, lowering her voice: “A year ago, my father hunted a deer and sold it to a tavern in town. I'm not well, am I? My dad paid less for deerskin, and the owner of the tavern made a boot. When I came out to catch the sea today, my father had to let me wear it...”

Zhou Linglong quietly pulled the back of her sister and smiled at Xiao Wequ: “Your major illness scared Aunt Liu a long time ago. You should wear warm clothes to keep your family from worrying. Coral, stop staring at people's feet and let Dad buy you boots when he gets back. ”

The two Zhou Linglong sisters were the daughter of Aunt Fang's best friend, Aunt Liu's family. Aunt Fang's man's anniversary was a cargo boy, and the family had dozens of chickens. The family situation was counted throughout Dongshan Village.

Zhou Coral is only a year older than Little Grass, but he also understands: “Sister, I was just looking. The boots are too expensive and our cotton shoes are warm. How much food can you buy for a pair of boots? ”

“There's netfish over there, let's go check it out!” Yu Xiaowei shifted the subject, not wanting to get tangled up on his boots.

After a closer look, it turns out that it was Uncle Sanchong Yubo, and Uncle Zhu who fished well in the village, risking the cold to use the net fish. Someone is responsible for pulling one end of the net ashore, while the rest of the waves and struts rotate slowly into the water, go deep into the water and follow a semi-circular arc back ashore, while the rest take over the net and pull it together.

This net has not yielded much, with only a few small, palm-sized fish sticking to the net cable, apart from a few fish of about one or two. As soon as two men came ashore, their daughter-in-law served hot ginger soup. Wrap in a thick cotton coat, drink a few bites of ginger soup, and then go down the sea ray net.

“I know a reef to listen to, but be careful in the past, let's go over there!” This is the first big tide since spring, with too many people rushing to sea. Even some people in town took tools to try their luck. There were more people on the reef than seafood, and a few children searched for half a day and had little to gain.

Yu Xiaolian knew where her sister was, and saved a man while rushing to sea there last summer. A few people jokingly went towards the cliff wall, and there was a lot of seafood there.

“Oyster shells are sharp and sometimes slightly in contact with the skin, the skin is scratched by the shell of the oyster, you have to be careful. Grass, you and the rock are weak, why don't you pick up the rest of the seafood?” Zhou Linglong is a big girl after all, very good at taking care of her brothers and sisters.

A few people stumbled on the reef to pry oysters, and the baskets and barrels were all full. Zhou Coral laughed and said: “Today's harvest is quite good. If it were like this every day, I wouldn't be afraid of starving in the spring when I don't catch it! ”

“My father said that only when the tide goes down can the reef show up, only twice a month, how can it come every day? Besides, you eat oysters every day, you're not afraid to vomit?” Yu Xiaolian was also delighted and wondered what delicious dishes her sister would make with these oysters.

After a winter of lack of food and vegetables, Yu Xiaograss changed to cook and cook, saving food and eating well. There is nothing at home to not praise. Ordinary radish cabbage can make all sorts of figurines, especially seafood? Xiaolian looked forward to her craftsmanship.

Yu Xiaoxue thought about her own business with Wednesday's younger sister, and said to Sister Zhou Linglong: “I hear Zhou's family in town intends to build a workshop at the pier, which will harvest a lot of oysters. In the future, your sisters will have time to pry oysters for sale and make some money buying needle threads. ”

Zhou Linglong's eyes suddenly lit up: “Is this news reliable? Usually, those who receive seafood are reluctant to accept oysters, and the price is always pressed back. The townsfolks don't like picking up oysters very much, but I hope the price charged by Zhou's workshop isn't too low. ”

The basket of grass and pebbles responsible for picking up other seafood is full, and the grass is satisfied with today's harvest: in addition to the small seafood such as the Mahatma, sea red, nail screws, she has picked up more than a dozen sea urchins and is ready to go back for soup stew, which is fresh and nourishing. To her surprise, this time she found a sea cucumber. "Baoshen Wing Tummy" is a precious sea flavor. The sea cucumber is definitely a good thing.

The three brothers and the Zhou sisters jokingly walked on soft sandy beaches and came all the way to Dongshan Village.

Before entering the village, she saw Aunt Zhong Zhu rushing towards the sea. She saw the three little grass sisters, and she accelerated her steps to greet her: “Xiaolian, Xiaograss, something happened to your father, go back! ”

“My father? What happened to him?” Yu Xiaocao tightened the basket in his hand and panicked in his heart.

After a difficult winter at home, the Zhang family hurried Yuhai into the mountains to hunt after waiting for the mountain forest to thaw. Early this morning, Yuhai asked Zhao hunters to go up the mountain. It is said that Spring is not a good time to hunt, and many animals will be particularly fierce in their emotional season. Is it possible that...

“Your father was bitten by a blind bear. He was covered in blood and his leg was almost gone... go home and take a look!” Thinking of the tragic situation in Yuhai, the daughter-in-law couldn't resist a cold tremor.

As soon as the rock heard it, he cried out and left the basket and ran home. The Yu Xiaograss sisters withstood the panic in their hearts, ignoring the seafood in their hands, and both flew toward the house.

Sister Zhou Linglong released her hand and carried Yu's basket in her hand. She also hurried to Yu's house.

Daughter-in-law Zhanzhu followed Yu's sister and couldn't help but comfort the children: “Don't worry, your third cousin and Uncle Zhanzhu have borrowed the donkey car from the next village to invite the doctor to town. Perhaps your father's injuries are not as serious as they seem! ”

Yu Xiaograss withstood the fear and grief in his heart, and the bigger his footsteps, the faster he ran. Over the past six months, Yuhai has seen her love and inclusiveness. Life was painful, but her parents' loving affection gave her the courage to survive in this strange world.

Yuhai, though some foolishness and tornado, unwittingly became the backbone of the weed, the top beam pillar of the second room. She can't imagine what the second room would be like in the rest of the house if Dad wasn't here.

Dad, you mustn't do anything! Wait for me to save you!! Yu Xiaowei held onto the only lifesaving straw - the colorful stone. Since it can bring a heretic soul back to this world with residual powers, it must have a way to save Daddy!

[Master, don't worry! As long as your father takes a breath, Ben Shenshi can pull him back from the ghost gate!!] Xiao Tianshi seemed to perceive her wandering emotions, put away the pride and arrogance of the weekday and assured her confidently.

Due to the snowy mountain seal, Little Tianshi did not have the opportunity to bathe in the mountain springs throughout the winter. However, it perceived no less spiritual energy in the snow than in the mountain springs, allowing the little grass to collect the snow from the bamboo leaves every day, melting and bathing it. After six months of sharp harvesting, it accumulates enough spiritual power to save a dying person's life.

With the assurance of Little Heavenly Stone, Little Grass's restless heart finally fell to the ground. May the gods bless you and keep your father company until she returns home!

It's been such a long journey home. As a result of the intense run, Yu Xiaograss's chest seemed to blow up, so she grew up and tried to breathe. In the eyes of others, she can barely breathe.

Yu Xiaolian said with a cry: “Little sister, slow down! Dad, something's wrong. You can't do it again! I'll go back first, you walk slowly in the back...”

“No... whoo... no! I... I don't usually exercise... whoops... that's why I do this! Rest assured... my own body knows... whoop...” Yu Xiaocao's breath didn't catch his breath, his legs were as heavy as lead, but he didn't mean to stop and rest.

She arrived in front of her door, using all her residual strength and pushing a heavy door. The yard was crammed with folks who came to help, and when they saw the three younger brothers, they spontaneously gave way.

“Dad!” Yu Xiaowei rushed into the door of the west house, pushing her big uncle's fat body hard and jumping to the edge of the kang.

Yuhai's miserable white face did not have a trace of blood, his body was covered with patches of cotton jacket, stained with spotted blood, and condensed into a piece of hard. His right trouser tube has only a few cloth strips left, revealing a fleshy right leg.
