There is a mountain in her arms

Because the food was to Gu Yuxuan's taste, he accidentally ate too much.

After Jiang Yichen helped his grandmother clean up, he took out two slingshots and a hatchet and put them in the backpack.

"that's it?"

Gu Yuxuan was a little disappointed.

"Why do you think you have a gun? Now it is forbidden to privately possess guns and ammunition."

"Is this what you use for hunting?"

"These are enough. If you are worried, I will get you a sickle!"

This was very different from what Gu Yuxuan had imagined. Looking at his silent father, he did not express any opinion.

Jiang Yicheng led the two of them directly up the mountain. Gu Yanbang took the backpack from Jiang Yicheng's hand and used a sickle to lead the way.

Jiang Yichen gave Gu Yuxuan a slingshot and took one for himself, explaining his hunting experience to him. Gu Yanbang also listened carefully.

In winter, the mountains are covered with unmelted snow, which makes a crunching sound when people step on it.

Although this noise can easily scare away small animals nearby, the traces left by the animals are also the clearest.

Jiang Yichen taught them how to distinguish animal footprints. Gu Yuxuan looked curious, while Gu Yanbang seemed thoughtful about her.

But now was not the time to ask, so he just kept it to himself. He cared about Jiang Yicheng and the others much more than his own son.

They walked and observed along the way, and suddenly Gu Yuxuan's eyes lit up.

"Orange, look!"

Gu Yuxuan pointed at the footprints on the snow, which were the footprints of a hare.

"Follow it, these are the footprints of a hare coming out to look for food. Walk lightly and don't scare it. Small animals are more familiar with the woods than we are."

The few people walked lightly. A few meters away, a gray hare was rummaging under a fir tree.

"Would you like to try it?"

Jiang Yichen picked up two stones and shook the slingshot in his hand.

"want!"

"Hit its limbs."

Gu Yuxuan pulled the slingshot, aimed, and shot the stone, but missed.

Jiang Yichen quickly followed up. She didn't even need to aim. She just pulled and hit its hind leg.

The hare was injured and wanted to escape. Gu Yuxuan grabbed its ears in one step, and the hare kicked its legs desperately in the air.

"Cheng Cheng, your aim is pretty good. How did you practice that?"

Gu Yanbang took it and threw it into the basket behind him, his eyes full of admiration. If this man was shooting in the military camp, he would definitely be a sharpshooter.

“Practice makes perfect!”

They continued to search for animal footprints and made quite a few gains. With Jiang Yichen's guidance, Gu Yuxuan also shot two pheasants with his slingshot skills.

Gu Yanbang did not take any action during the whole process. He just stood by them to protect them and watched them take action.

"Snapped"

Gu Yuxuan accidentally stepped on a dry branch and kicked it aside. Unexpectedly, a wild boar weighing about 400 kilograms rushed out.

"Get out of the way, climb the tree!"

Gu Yanbang shouted loudly, pushed Gu Yuxuan away, yelled at the two of them, and rushed forward with a sickle to buy time for the two of them to climb up the tree.

Jiang Yichen quickly climbed up the tree, and Gu Yuxuan also quickly found another one to climb up.

"Dad, be careful."

The wild boar had thick skin and flesh and was extremely strong. It kept attacking Gu Yanbang with its sharp fangs.

Jiang Yichen was thinking of a solution on the tree, and his eyes lit up when he saw the hatchet dropped into a basket beside him.

"Brother Yuxuan, I have a solution, come with me!"

After saying that, he got down from the tree first, and Gu Yuxuan got down from the tree without hesitation to join him.

Jiang Yichen led him and ran all the way to the right, and soon stopped at a pile of branches.

"Quickly clear these branches. Below is the trap we dug before. We will lure the big guy over here when the time comes."

Gu Yuxuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly cleaned up. When they were almost done, the two of them hurried back.

"Dad, lead the wild boar over here. There is a trap ahead."

After hearing this, Gu Yanbang tried to find a way to run over there, but unfortunately the wild boar was not fooled.

Jiang Yichen held a slingshot in front of it and aimed at its legs. Although it felt like scratching an itch, it became annoying after doing it too many times.

Gu Yuxuan followed suit and attacked it with a slingshot from the other side.

If it was a wild boar weighing 200 to 300 kilograms, Gu Yanbang could handle it by himself. But this wild boar weighing 400 kilograms, even if it fell to the ground, you could feel the ground shaking.

Gu Yanbang had just been kicked and he felt his thigh was bruised.

Jiang Yicheng picked up the hatchet and chopped at its head, but the wild boar dodged it by leaning sideways. She did not want to fight anymore, so she retreated without hesitation and looked for another chance to come back.

The wild boar was finally irritated by her and changed its target, rushing towards her.

Jiang Yichen ran forward desperately, looking back to see if it had caught up with him.

Gu Yanbang was so scared that his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He didn't care about the pain in his body and chased after him desperately.

Gu Yuxuan had been standing in front of the trap to support her. When he saw her running over, he caught her and rolled on the ground.

The wild boar couldn't stop and fell headfirst. You could hear the sound of the splinters piercing its flesh and the boar's howling.

Gu Yuxuan was still holding Jiang Yichen. When he heard the noise, he jumped up.

Gu Yanbang was standing by the trap at this time, looking in. Gu Yuxuan pulled Jiang Yicheng up, and they both walked over.

"Hiss! This wild boar is about to be pierced into a hedgehog."

"Chengcheng, how do you know there is a trap here? Are there hunters in your village?"

"This was dug by Chi Yuan and I. In the past, the people in the cowshed didn't have much money. He and I dug traps to collect prey, and they could also supplement their nutrition."

"Dad, what should we do with this wild boar?"

"Give it to the village! Cheng Cheng, what do you think?"

"Wild boar meat doesn't taste good, so let's share it with the villagers! Anyway, we still have these prey. I'll go down the mountain and call for help."

"Well! You two go down together, I'll watch from here. Better hurry up, the smell of blood can travel far in the winter, and if you're late, something bad might happen."

"Brother Yuxuan, let's go! Uncle Gu, you should be careful too."

"Dad, be careful, we'll be back soon."

Jiang Yichen took Gu Yuxuan and ran down the mountain. She asked Gu Yuxuan to go back and tell his grandfather, and she went directly to his great-grandfather's house.

When Jiang Weiguo heard this, he was so happy that he immediately called the strong men in the village to go up the mountain.

Fortunately, the New Year greetings are almost over now, and everyone is staying at home or visiting friends and relatives.

Jiang Weiguo quickly called everyone, and Gu Yuxuan also brought Grandpa Jiang over.

"Grandpa, don't go. There are enough people. Wait for us to come back."

"Okay, I'll boil some hot water for you to wash when you come back."

"Ok!"

Jiang Yichen and Gu Yuxuan led them to the trap quickly.

"Uncle Gu, are you okay?"

"I'm fine! Captain, you're here."

"Gu Gongan, we are all indebted to you."

"It's okay. I was just taking the kids up the mountain for a walk and it just happened. The wild boar is dead. You'd better carry it down the mountain quickly. The pig's blood is all over the ground. Such a strong smell of blood is very dangerous."

"Yes, guys, get started."

The villagers were delighted to see such a big wild boar. With such a big boar, each family should be able to get several kilograms of meat, right?

With strength in numbers, the wild boar was soon dug out. They tied it up with vines, and a group of people took turns carrying it down the mountain.

"Uncle Gu, let's go back and wash and change clothes first. The villagers will definitely kill wild boars in the threshing ground, and then we can go and eat the pig slaughtering dishes."

"Yes, Chengcheng is right. Gu Gongan, come to the threshing ground later to eat the pig-killing dishes and taste the flavor of our village."

Jiang Weiguo heard Jiang Yicheng's words and immediately invited him. Gu Yuxuan also wanted to join in the fun and agreed on his father's behalf.

When they returned home, Grandpa Jiang had already boiled hot water and Grandma Jiang had prepared some clean clothes for them.

The three of them came out refreshed, and Gu Yanbang and Gu Yuxuan were both wearing Grandpa Jiang's new clothes.

The family walked happily towards the threshing ground, and when they met villagers, they greeted them kindly.

How could they not be happy when they could eat the pig-slaughtering meal and share the pork?

The threshing ground was bustling with activity, and in a large wooden barrel in front, two butchers were scraping pigs.

"Second Grandpa, Second Grandma!"

"Second uncle and second aunt!"

Jiang Weitong was leading Jiang Zitao and the other two. When they saw them, they came over to say hello.

"You guys come join in the fun! This is your cousin's comrade-in-arms, Xiao Gu, and this is his son. They are here to wish us a happy new year today."

"Hello, Brother Gu! I'm Jiang Weitong, and I'll join the army like you guys in the future."

"Ok?"

"Xiao San just got admitted to the National University of Defense Technology in Kyoto."

"This is a prospective college student! You are ambitious and we welcome you to join us in the future."

Gu Yanbang was very happy to hear this and looked at him differently.

"Brother Zitao, this is Gu Yuxuan, you two should be about the same age."

"Welcome to our village!"

Jiang Yichen whispered something in his ear, Jiang Zitao's eyes lit up, he greeted him enthusiastically, and then pulled him aside to chat.

Because Jiang Yichen told him that Gu Yuxuan was good at kung fu.

"Cousin!"

Jiang Zixiao came up to greet him eagerly, his eyes blinking.

"Here! You can only eat one!"

Jiang Zixiao immediately grabbed it, peeled it quickly and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Jiang Zixiao, you're still eating candy! You have cavities, and grandma said you can't eat candy anymore. Chengcheng, you're still pampering him."

Jiang Ziqing was so angry that he put his hands on his hips, watched Jiang Zixiao run away, and glared at Jiang Yichen in reproach.

"Cousin, I didn't know he couldn't eat candy anymore. I won't do that next time."

Jiang Yichen admitted his mistake immediately.

An An also stretched out his chubby hand and said, "Candy, candy!" Grandma Jiang coaxed him in a low voice and took him around to see the world.

The whole village was waiting to eat the pig-killing dish, because food was in short supply and it was rare to eat anything oily. Today, they finally had meat to eat, and everyone waited patiently.

Jiang Yichen had never seen this before and had only heard his grandfather talk about it before. Now he squeezed in to see how they prepared the pig-killing dish.

The cook was an old lady in the village who was recognized for her delicious cooking. Jiang Yichen lost interest after watching for a while.

Because Jiang Yicheng discovered that this pig-killing dish is pork stewed with radish. Just add some frozen pig blood and sprinkle some green vegetables in it.

This isn't even as delicious as her grandma's.

Grandma Jiang held An An in her arms and saw that she was not interested, so she asked her what was wrong. Jiang Yicheng told her secretly, which made Grandma Jiang nod her head.

"It's not that my cooking is delicious, it's because they are reluctant to add oil and seasoning. We did the same at home before you came back. Later I found out that you didn't like this kind of low-oil dishes, so I used more oil and seasoning. Now that we have the conditions, I'm used to it."

Jiang Yichen leaned his head on his grandmother's shoulder, his eyes full of joy.

"Grandma, thank you for being so tolerant of me."

"Silly boy, you're talking nonsense again."

Grandma Jiang tapped her forehead, and An An followed suit.

An An is at the age of imitating, and learns whatever he sees.

Jiang Yichen took An An over, pinched his little face, tickled him and made him laugh.

"Chengcheng, it's time to eat the pig-killing meal."

Jiang Ziqing ran over to call her, but Jiang Yichen still took the bowl and scooped a bowl.

After taking a bite, she found it had a fishy taste and couldn't eat it anymore.

Grandma Jiang asked Grandpa Jiang to take the pork and go back with Gu Yanbang and the others later, and she went back to cook first.

Jiang Yichen held An An's hand, and the three of them walked back slowly, talking and laughing.

Dinner was simpler than lunch, but there were still four or five dishes and a bowl of the village's pig-killing dish.

Gu Yuxuan was very excited to come back. The experience he had never had before today made him very excited before going to bed at night.

At night, the father and son slept in Jiang Yichen's room. Jiang Yichen slept with his grandparents. The bed in their room was big enough to accommodate everyone.

"Dad, can I stay here for a few more days? Mom hasn't come back yet, and I'm home alone."

Gu Yuxuan discussed with Gu Yanbang.

"Why do you want to stay here?"

"Dad, I want to go to the mountains with Chengcheng and the others to play. I also want to have some friends. Chengcheng's cousin is the same age as me, and he is also practicing military boxing."

Gu Yanbang felt sad when he thought about his son always changing schools and having no friends.

"You can stay if you want! But don't cause trouble for Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang."

"I promise!"

Gu Yuxuan turned around happily and suddenly saw the open book on Jiang Yichen's desk.

He glanced at it casually, then picked it up and flipped through it.

"Don't rummage through Orange's things, you little brat. It's rude."

"Dad, look, Chengcheng is reading a foreign book. How does she understand it?"

Gu Yanbang was a little unhappy when he saw him casually looking through other people's things. But after hearing what he said, he snatched it and looked through it.

"What kind of book is this? Can you understand it?"

"It seems to be French. I saw a similar book in my aunt's room."

"French? I'll ask her tomorrow. Go to sleep!"

Gu Yanbang put the book back to its original place, thinking that Jiang Yichen knew so much.

The next morning, Gu Yanbang woke up when he heard the sound of the door opening.

He quietly put on his clothes and came out, just in time to see the old couple getting ready to wash up.

"Xiao Gu, I woke you up, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Grandpa Jiang was about to wash his face and when he saw him come out, he thought they had woken him up.

"I got used to getting up early in the army, and I've never changed it."

"Did you sleep well last night? Was the blanket enough?"

Grandma Jiang came over to rinse her mouth and asked him with concern.

"I slept well! The quilt is big and covers me well."

"That's good. I was worried that you might not be used to it. Come on, wash up!"

Grandpa Jiang gave him the toiletries, and Gu Yanbang took them and quickly went to wash up.

"Uncle, I have something to ask you. If it's inconvenient, you don't have to tell me."

"what happened?"

"I treat Cheng Cheng and An An as my own children from the bottom of my heart, but I am not with them and cannot always know what is happening around them. I hope you can tell me, I am afraid they will get hurt."

"Xiao Gu, you've confused me. What exactly do you want to say?"

"I saw a foreign book on her desk yesterday."
