Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

Chapter 291 Dahai Didn’t Come Home

"Stand with your feet parallel and shoulder-width apart, feet together."

"Lift your arms sideways over your head, lifting your heels while inhaling. Lower your arms in front of you, lowering your feet together, and exhale."

"Relax your body and repeat this movement two more times."

A cold voice came from the yard. Xu Yuan, Xu Zhi, Guo Zi and three others were standing in the yard practicing martial arts.

There was still a large patch of red light on the horizon. The sun was setting and the sky was getting darker.

"Okay, this is the Eight-Section Brocade you're going to practice from now on. Have you memorized all the moves?"

Xuyuan retracted his last action and gave a warning.

"Sister, these movements don't seem very difficult. Can they really help you stay healthy?"

Xu Zhi couldn't believe it and asked back.

"You have to keep practicing to find out. We have just started practicing and it is not a panacea. How can we expect results so quickly?"

"Sister, I didn't remember the moves. Can you teach me again?" Xuanyi tugged at Xuyuan's sleeve and said embarrassedly.

Xu Yuan smiled faintly, he had expected this step and was not surprised.

"Wait." Xu Yuan touched many people's heads, went into his room, and took a booklet from the table.

"Sister, the little man on top is so weird."

Many people were surprised when they looked through the booklet handed over by Xuyuan.

Guozi also came over and stared at a small circle on the booklet with a few little figures whose hands and feet could be outlined with a horizontal and vertical stroke. He was drawing the moves he had just practiced, and his curiosity was instantly filled.

I couldn't help but exclaim: "Sister, this is too detailed."

"Of course. You guys just stay here and watch. I'm going to cook."

After Xu Yuan finished his instructions, he walked towards the kitchen, and Xu Zhi followed closely behind him.

"Eight-Section Brocade." Guozi saw the big words written on the booklet and read them out.

Many people flipped through the pages one by one, "One, two... six, seven, eight. It turns out there are eight sets of moves in total. No wonder it is called this name."

The two children sat on the corridor and looked through the book together.

The two sisters in the kitchen also started preparing dinner.

Is it time to choose what to eat tonight?

If it were in the past, would there be any choice?

As usual, Xu Zhi sat down in front of the stove, lit a fire, looked at Xu Yuan who was thinking in front of the stove, and asked, "Sister, can sprouts grow at this time?"

Xu Yuan replied: "Yes, as long as the weather is not cold, the bean sprouts will grow."

At the same time, Xu Yuan also thought about what to eat tonight, so he made a lot of the egg custard he had been craving for. Pan Dahai brought some eggs over in the afternoon.

Beat five eggs in a bowl, add salt and a small spoonful of lard, stir well, pour in appropriate amount of warm water, stir well, and skim off the bubbles floating on the surface of the bowl.

When Xu Zhi saw that his elder sister took so many eggs at once, he knew what she was going to do, so he hurried forward and saw that Xu Zhi's action was indeed not difficult.

Xu Yuan brought the prepared egg liquid to the stove on the other side, filled the earthenware pot with water, placed a bamboo steaming rack underneath, put the egg liquid on it, put a plate on it, and then covered it with a lid.

Xu Zhi had already used the fire rack to move some of the firewood from the stove to one side.

"Xiaozhi, this egg custard doesn't need to be cooked for a long time. If the water boils, there's no need for fire."

"it is good."

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a loud knock on the courtyard door, startling Manyan who was sitting in the corridor studying a booklet. Manyan hurried to open the door, and Manyan put the booklet in his arms and stood up.

Outside the door was an anxious old man named Pan, with beads of sweat on his forehead and out of breath. Before Guozi could ask anything, he asked hurriedly, "Guozi, Xiaoduo, did Dahai send anything to your house?"

"Yes, Brother Hai delivered it at 3 p.m. and then left." Guozi replied hurriedly.

After saying this, Uncle Pan suddenly became a little flustered and his face turned pale.

When Xuanyu saw that Uncle Pan's face looked strange, he turned around and ran to the kitchen, shouting to make a wish.

"But, your brother Ahai hasn't come back yet..." Grandpa Pan suddenly felt a little flustered. After all, he had searched all the places his eldest grandson usually went, and placed his last hope on Xuyuan.

When Guozi heard this, she was a little flustered and couldn't believe it. She was helpless and could only invite Uncle Pan to come in. "Uncle Pan, let's go in first. Brother Hai might have been delayed by something and will go home soon."

"No, I have to look somewhere else." When Uncle Pan did not hear the news he wished for, he turned around and ran away in a hurry.

"Sister, sister..." Many people rushed in and shouted loudly. Without even catching their breath, they hurriedly pulled Xu Yuan to go out.

"Xiaoduo, what's wrong?"

It was the first time that Xuyuan saw Xiaoduo like this. He grabbed Xiaoduo's hand and asked hurriedly.

Xu Zhi on the side also stood up and looked at Manyu with concern.

"Grandpa Pan came to look for Brother Hai and said that Brother Hai has not returned home yet."

Didn’t go home?

Xu Yuan knew very well that Dahai was not such a fool. Something must have happened that delayed him, and he did not receive any reminder from Xiaojiu, so he should be safe.

Xu Yuan hurried out. Many people who wanted to follow him were stopped by Xu Yuan. "Xiao Duo, you stay here. Xiao Zhi, you watch them."

He carried the water bag and picked up the hatchet and walked out of the kitchen. He almost bumped into Guozi who was trying to run into the door, but Xuyuan dodged him in time.

Seeing Guozi's anxious look, he quickly comforted her.

"Don't panic, just wait at home and eat when the meal is ready. I'll go help you find it."

After all, the person came to my place and never went home, so I still have the obligation to help find him.

Uncle Pan must have asked every household in the village, and the only place where he hasn't found it yet is probably on the mountain.

It was getting dark, so Xu Yuan went back to his room, picked up an oil lamp, and ran towards the mountain.

"Sister, be careful."

Xu Zhi stood at the kitchen door and shouted at Xu Yuan who was running out.

Many Japanese confectioners also looked at Xuyuan with a worried look on their faces.

"Got it. You don't have to wait for me to come back for dinner. Just stay home."

Xu Yuan stopped, gave instructions again, and left quickly.

……

On the way up the mountain, Xu Yuan met Village Chief Gu, several middle-aged men from the village, and Uncle Pan, who were running up the mountain with lanterns.

Xu Yuan slowed down his pace so as not to disturb them, and turned to run quickly towards the other side of the mountain road.

After all, if they saw me, they would definitely stop me from going up the mountain.

The forest was pitch black, with the occasional chirping of insects and birds. The night breeze in the mountains was a little cool, and the more densely wooded the area was, the more eerie it became.

"Xiaojiu, check the surroundings."

"Ding, detecting..."

I don't plan to make a wish randomly. Since I have a golden finger, why not use it?
