Chen Wanbai felt relieved when he saw the vigilance in their eyes. She half-truthfully replied with a smile: "Uncle, my home is from Guhuai Village. I went hunting in the mountains early in the morning and accidentally got lost and went too far. Now that I see the village, I feel relieved. ”
The middle-aged man still looked at her up and down with some suspicion, as if he was considering the authenticity of her words.
But the young man didn’t think much about it. He said with curiosity: “I see, then you are not far from Guhuai Village now. This is Yangui Village, you follow this Just keep walking and you will reach Guhuai Village."
The middle-aged man glanced at his son, a little speechless, and thought to himself, this kid talks too fast.
Chen Wanbai nodded, thanked him, and prepared to leave.
The young man couldn't hold back, pointed at the calf and asked, "Little girl, what's going on with this calf? It doesn't look like it's domesticated."
Chen Wanbai saw The young man only had curiosity in his eyes, not greed, so he smiled and said: "Brother, I caught this in the mountains. I lost my way just because I was chasing it."
The young man said: She was surprised by the experience, "Oh, it's not easy. You can catch bison at such a young age. It's amazing!"
Chen Wanbai smiled and explained: "My dad is an old hunter in the village. I have learned hunting from my father since I was a child."
The middle-aged man looked at the sky and said to Chen Wanbai, "Little girl, you better hurry up, or you won't be able to get home after dark. "
After Chen Wanbai thanked him again, he took the calf and continued to walk forward in the direction pointed by the young man.
She vaguely heard voices coming from behind her.
"Dad, isn't my third cousin the hunter from Guhuai Village?"
"Hurry up and do your job. How old are you and you are still so unstable? Look at it. This little girl is so much younger than you, she can go hunting."
"Dad, I'm almost a father, why are you still beating me?"
"Zhou? "Shun, don't tell me that you are going to be a father soon. Even if you are a grandfather, I will still beat you if I want to."
...
The sun is setting in the west. The setting sun cast long shadows in the fields, and Chen Wanbai and Mavericks walked one foot deep and one foot shallow.
As the sky gradually darkened, Chen Wanbai pulled the calf to speed up the pace. She walked through a few more paths, and finally she saw the familiar hills.
Although the mountains are all similar in appearance, the steep cliff on the top of Guhuai Mountain and the crooked-necked tree on the cliff are particularly conspicuous. Seeing this mountain, Chen Wanbai was determined.
Tonight, she no longer has to sleep in the wilderness.
Hurrying slowly, Chen Wanbai finally saw his cabin when there was only a trace of afterglow left in the sky.
The chimney of the stove is in the middleThere was smoke from the cooking pots, and a warm light shone through the room. She pulled the calf and ran eagerly toward home.
Perhaps sensing Chen Wanbai's mood, or smelling the aroma of food, the calf spread its legs and ran with Chen Wanbai.
When they arrived at the door of the house, the calf mooed twice excitedly.
Ms. Liu heard the sound and hurried out of the house.
"Xiao Bai, you are back!" Mrs. Liu was surprised and excited when she saw that the person coming was Chen Wan Bai.
She rushed forward and looked at Chen Wanbai from top to bottom.
Under the dim light reflected by the kitchen, although she could not see clearly, Mrs. Liu could still see that Chen Wanbai was covered in mud and dirty.

She said with concern: "You are hungry, come in quickly."
Chen Wanbai was surprised and relieved to see that Mrs. Liu was in good condition, her eyes were not swollen and her throat was not mute.
She smiled and said, "Mom, I'm going to wash up first. Look, my dirty body is covered with mud."
Mrs. Liu nodded, "Then you go first. "Wash, Mom, I'll bring you some clothes."
Chen Wanbai stopped her quickly, "Mom, don't rush into the house yet. Take a look at what I brought back."
Mrs. Liu stopped and looked in the direction Chen Wanbai pointed.
When she saw the calf, she remembered that she seemed to have heard a cow braying just now. As soon as I went out, I saw Chen Wanbai and forgot about it.
"Xiao Bai, this..." Liu was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She took a step closer and found that there was a deer on the back of the cow.
She looked at the calf and the deer, then looked up at Chen Wanbai, "Where did you get this?"
Chen Wanbai smiled proudly, "Mom, I caught this calf and this deer in the mountains. Let’s roast the deer meat tonight!”
Mrs. Liu frowned and said worriedly: “Xiao Bai, Don't take such risks in the future. There are so many dangers in the mountains. Although these calves and deer are good, if something happens to you, how will your mother survive?"
Chen Wanbai hurriedly explained, " Mom, don’t worry, I didn’t encounter any big danger. The calf got entangled in vines in the mountains, so I had a chance to catch the deer. I just happened to bring it back with me.
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu, although she was still a little worried, saw that Chen Wan Bai was unscathed, so she could only sigh, "You kid, you are so courageous. You can't be so reckless in the future." < /p>
Chen Wanbai took Mrs. Liu's hand, "Mom, look, the calf, from now on our land will no longer be too busy."
Mrs. Liu looked at it again One look at the little calf gave me mixed feelings. She stretched out her hand to take the reins and said to Chen Wanbai: "Go and wash this cow quickly, I will close the woodshed first."
The little calf was a little unhappy when he saw the stranger, and backed away desperately.
"Hey, you little calf, you are still picky. "Chen Wanbai tugged on the reins hard.
She said to Liu again: "Forget it, mother, I'd better lock it up. This is a bison, and it becomes obedient within a few days of being tame. "
Chen Wanbai personally led the calf to the woodshed, closed the door, and then went to wash with peace of mind. When she came back from washing, Mrs. Liu had already laid out the meal. The roasted venison was fragrant. It was placed on the table, exuding an alluring aroma.
Mrs. Liu smiled and asked Chen Wanbai to sit down, "Xiaobai, come and eat. I don’t know how many times you’ve been hungry these past two days.
Chen Wanbai sat down, picked up a piece of meat, and took two bites of rice, "Ah... the food at home is still delicious." "
She picked up a few more chopsticks of meat and took big bites with a look of satisfaction on her face. "Mom, I haven't been hungry in the past two days. You saw that there was such a big piece of meat missing from the belly of the deer. No, that’s what I ate. "
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu pursed her lips and smiled, feeling relieved, "You kid, you are so courageous. Fortunately, God took care of you and didn't let you go hungry.
Chen Wanbai said with a smile: "Mom, this venison is so delicious, tender and fragrant, much better than the wild vegetables we usually eat." "
Mrs. Liu ate more gracefully than Chen Wanbai. She took a small bite of the venison and nodded, "It is indeed delicious. By the way, I saw you also wrapped a piece of meat. What kind of meat is that? "
Chen Wanbai thought for a moment and said, "That's wolf meat..."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu immediately stood up and interrupted Chen Wanbai, "What! Have you met a wolf yet? "
Chen Wanbai hurriedly grabbed Mrs. Liu and comforted her: "Mom, don't be anxious. Sit down first and listen to my explanation. ”
