Chapter 1078 Catching Birds in the Back Mountain

Sun Shan ruthlessly announced the date of Xiao Yazi's father's death, and the entire thatched cottage was filled with deep sadness.

Even if I already knew this was the truth, I couldn't give up until the last moment.

Xiao Yazi begged bitterly: "Master, is it true that my father will not live long?"

Sun Shan nodded heavily: "Yes."

The cold words once again shattered the family's hopes.

Then he said, "While your father is still alive, he will take good care of you. You don't need to see a doctor or take medicine anymore."

The village chief also comforted him and said, "Good Yazi, you are a scholar and know more than us. Your grandfather is a famous doctor. For such a disease, you can guess your father's symptoms without seeing him. Now I see that it confirms your statement.

Good tooth, I sold the sand goose today and exchanged it for silver. Don't go to the doctor or take medicine anymore. Buy some meat and let your father eat it slowly.

I didn’t eat many good meals before I got sick. Now I don’t have much time left. If I eat a few good meals, it will not be in vain when I die. Alas, I have done something wrong. It’s the time and fate. It’s arranged by God. How can we mortals escape it? "

The villagers of Da Niao Village also spoke in unison to comfort Xiao Yazi's grandparents, even though it was cruel for the elderly to send off the young.

Now that it has really happened, what else can we do but accept it?

The living still have to live their lives, so just give the dying a good send-off and don't think about anything else.

Sun Shan sighed and left silently. The atmosphere was so sad that even a stranger would feel sad.

Gui Ge'er looked at Sun Shan, then at Xiao Yazi's thatched cottage. Through the dark window, he saw a dying man lying inside.

He said sadly: "Brother Shan, little Yazi is so pitiful, he has no father and no mother."

Sun Shan shook his head: "Birth, aging, sickness and death are all part of human life. We are powerless to stop them. We can only let them go."

Sun Dingnan pursed his lips, wanting to say something but in the end said nothing. He sighed secretly: How pitiful, how pitiful.

Wang Jiaxing didn't expect that he would encounter a human tragedy during his trip. Although he was sad, it didn't happen to him, so he could still accept it.

As the saying goes, "I cannot share the joys and sorrows of human beings, I just think they are noisy."

Wang Jiaxing sighed and said, "My little bastard, please accept my condolences."

Then continue doing what you should do. While Lord Sun is free today, you should ask him more questions.

A Jinshi is a Jinshi. As soon as he opened his mouth, Lord Sun knew what he wanted to ask, and he answered him in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.

I am so lucky to meet such a good teacher.

Wang Jiaxing regretted going out with Sun Shan two days ago, but now he changed his mind and was very glad to go out with Sun Shan.

The only thing that makes me uneasy is my "undercover" identity.

If his surname wasn't Wang, he definitely wouldn't have leaked the information. Unfortunately, he was a member of the Wang family first and then a scholar.

Wang Jiaxing silently said in his heart: Amitabha, Buddha forgive me, he has his own reasons. After his identity as a spy is over, he will donate more money to wash away his past "evil deeds".

Although Sun Shan could guess that Wang Jiaxing was the spy of the Wang family, he was always upright and honest, so he was not afraid of having a spy around him.

When necessary, they can even use their spies to spread some news that is both true and false.

Haha, just as you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring into you.

When I returned to the village chief's house, I saw the village chief's eldest grandson walking outside carrying a sack and a small net.

I couldn't help but ask curiously: "Da Yazi, where are you going?"

Although the rain has stopped outside, the road is not easy to walk on. If you run out, your clothes will get dirty, and you will have to wait for your parents to beat you with sticks when you come back.

When Dayazi saw the nobleman talking to him, a layer of red immediately appeared on his dark face.

She said shyly, "Master Scholar, I, I want to go to the back hill."

Xiao Yazi caught a sand goose and sold it for half a tael of silver.

The village chief, his son and daughter-in-law were also interested, so they asked Dayazi to go to the back mountain to try their luck and see if they could catch some special big birds.

If a noble person takes a fancy to you, wouldn’t you become rich?

In fact, the adults wanted to catch the bird themselves, but they had work to do in the fields, so they had to let the family's thief take a look.

What's more, the big bird caught by the escort is more sympathetic. Even if the nobleman doesn't like it, he might accept it reluctantly because of the escort's hard work in catching the bird.

Dayazi didn't dare to say that he went to the back mountain to catch birds and sell them to the nobleman, for fear that if he said it, the nobleman would be angry.

He had to speak hesitantly and didn't dare to look Sun Shan in the eye.

Sun Shan continued to ask: "What are you doing in the back hills? Going to catch birds?"

When Sun Shan saw the net bag, he guessed it and said it bluntly to see what Dayazi would say.

Dayazi didn't expect that the nobleman would guess his purpose at once, and his face turned red. He didn't dare to look up or look at Sun Shan.

He hesitated for a long time and couldn't utter a word.

Sun Shan smiled and looked at the weather. The sun came out after the rain, and it looked like it would be a sunny day.

Thinking of what the villagers said about the many birds on the back mountain, Sun Shan became curious about how many there were.

So he said, "Da Yazi, I'll go catch birds with you too."

After a pause, he continued, "I have never caught a bird before. I want to catch one and roast it for food."

Of course, it was a lie to catch birds and roast them for food. Sun Shan was not really interested in this.

I was really curious about what kind of birds there were in the back mountain, and I also wanted to take a walk around, since I had nothing to do anyway.

When Dayazi heard this, he couldn't help but panic. If the nobleman caught the birds himself, who would he sell the birds to?

Dayazi really didn't want to take Sun Shan to the back mountain, but he couldn't say no.

He glanced at Sun Shan anxiously, then quickly looked away, not daring to look again.

When it comes to catching birds, Sun Heitan and Sun Caogen are interested.

I felt uncomfortable when I thought that Sun Shan actually gave me half a tael to buy a wild goose.

It’s better to let them catch it, it doesn’t cost any money.

The village chief said that when you go out, everything costs money, so every penny you can save is a penny you can save, and it is best not to spend any money.

The two men always remembered what the village chief said: instead of spending money to buy wild geese, it would be better to catch them themselves.

Oops, I just bought some wild geese at a loss. I have to catch a few and bring them back to the county town to sell to make up for the loss.

Sun Heitan said happily: "Master, let's go to the back mountain to catch wild geese. Haha, I'm actually quite good at catching birds, I'm sure we can catch one."

Among the country boys, except Sun Shan, every one of them could go to the river to fish, climb a tree to pick birds, and catch a few wild geese. It was no big deal.

Sun Cao immediately agreed, "Master, I can catch birds too. Let's go to the back mountain and catch a few more and make soup for you."

Hearing about the soup, Gui Ge'er agreed and said, "Okay, let's catch a few more and make soup every month so that Shan Ge can have some nourishment."

He looked at Sun Heitan and Sun Caogen with admiration.

Yes, free labor to catch birds is better than spending money to buy them.

So Sun Shan and his group walked towards the back mountain.

Of course, Dayazi and Wang Jiaxing were forced to move forward.

One didn't want to take Sun Shan with him, and the other didn't want to go at all.

Sun Dali still stayed behind to guard the luggage!
