Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times
Chapter 19: Deer
"Oh, these musk deer must be worth a lot of money, right?"
"These mountain products are very expensive. Qiu Yong, you can't sell them at a low price. They are very expensive."
The villagers surrounded the three people who had returned from the mountain and talked at once.
Du Wenxiu couldn't squeeze in from the back, so anxious that she had to shout Lu Fanghai's name loudly.
When Lu Fanghai heard her voice, he also responded loudly. Everyone made way for her, and the two met each other.
After not seeing him for a few days, Lu Fanghai had become thinner. He looked strong, but there were some small cuts on his face and body. I don't know if they were scratched by plants or scratched by animals. He looked quite embarrassed.
There were two pheasants hanging around his neck and a rattan net bag in his hand, which contained a dead rabbit and an animal that looked very much like a roe deer.
When Lu Fanghai saw her, his eyes lit up slightly, and he walked forward and smiled: "I'm back, let's go home."
Du Wenxiu reached out to take the pheasant hanging around his neck, but he blocked her hand and took her hand and walked home.
The young people in the village were making a fuss behind him, and Qiu Yong and Lu Sangui were complaining that no one cared about them. Du Wenxiu's face was burning badly, but she was reluctant to shake off his hand.
When he got home, Fang had already boiled water. Lu Fanghai threw the prey at the kitchen door and scooped water with a basin to wash his body. Du Wenxiu took the clothes and handed them to him with a red face, leaning sideways.
After he finished washing, the black basin of water was brought out and poured out. Fang looked at him with tears in her eyes and said that her son was suffering outside.
Du Wenxiu quickly prepared the food, and Lu Fanghai put it into his mouth like a hungry wolf that hadn't eaten for several days, and swallowed it without even chewing.
The women in the house looked at him with tears in their eyes. How could he be so hungry?
After eating, Lu Fanghai calmed down and said that they had only hunted some worthless pheasants and rabbits, and wanted to return if they didn't catch any wild boars. They were unwilling to give up, so they walked deeper into the area, only to encounter a musk deer, which was much more valuable than a wild boar, so they were reluctant to leave.
After squatting for two days, they discovered that there were actually three wild boars moving around in that area. They took a lot of effort to set traps and finally caught them all. On the way back, they saw a wild boar caught in the trap they had set before. It struggled for quite a while and was dying when they passed by.
Qiu Yong and Lu Sangui kept praising Lu Fanghai as a lucky star. If they went into the mountains together, the three of them would become rich.
The three people, who were already starving and had no strength to continue on their journey, cheered up, dragged the musk deer and the little creatures down first, rested for a while, and then called for people to go to the mountain to catch the wild boar.
Fang felt sorry for her son and told him to go tomorrow if it didn't work out, as he was already so tired.
Lu Fanghai smiled and said, "Chunming Mountain is close to Daliushan Village. If we don't get it back quickly, I'm afraid it will be lost to the hunters over there."
Du Wenxiu also said distressedly: "Then you three should not do it, let the other villagers do it. You are already very tired, and if you lose your strength..."
Having said this, he quickly stopped talking and glanced at Fang. Sure enough, he was staring at her.
Du Wenxiu stuck out her tongue and made two "Pooh" sounds quietly, and Fang then withdrew her gaze.
Lu Fanghai didn't notice their little actions. He just thought that they were both concerned about him, so he hurriedly agreed, filled his stomach, and ran away when someone called him outside the yard.
Because it was already getting late, they only allowed the young and strong men in the village to go with them. It took them until midnight to get the wild boar back.
The village chief appointed a few people to guard the place, while the others went home to sleep and planned to clean up the place during the day tomorrow.
Lu Fanghai cooked too much dinner, so he came back and heated it up and had it as a midnight snack. He returned to his room, fell asleep on the kang without taking off his coat, and fell asleep.
In the moonlight, Du Wenxiu watched him fall asleep with a frown on his face. He was afraid that he had not slept well for several days in the mountains.
She climbed onto the kang quietly, walked around his feet, and covered him halfway with the quilt. Du Wenxiu took off his coat and lay down beside him.
In a daze, Du Wenxiu felt her body sink, as if the quilt had become much heavier. She turned inward, pushed the quilt away, and fell asleep again.
At dawn, Fang's dissatisfied voice sounded outside the window. Her words were nothing more than the mother-in-law getting up but the daughter-in-law was still sleeping in. Although Du Wenxiu didn't want to pay attention to her, he didn't want to have another conflict either, so he had to open his eyes and prepare to get up.
Only then did he realize that there was no heavy quilt on him, but Lu Fanghai's strong arm that reached across and hugged him.
Du Wenxiu blushed instantly, the unfamiliar masculine scent lingered in her nose, and she felt a little greedy for the strong chest behind him.
Fang's voice became increasingly sharp. Du Wenxiu had no choice but to push his arm away, fasten her clothes and open the door.
"Mom, please keep your voice down. You might wake up Fang Hai." Du Wenxiu made a gesture to keep quiet, and Fang became silent.
Fang asked her to cook, naturally because she wanted to make something delicious for Lu Fanghai. Unfortunately, the ingredients were scarce, so she could only make sweet soup and flatbread. He probably had to deal with the wild boar today, so he had to eat his fill.
After the meal was cooked and heated in the pot and the chickens were fed, Lu Fanghai got up, washed up again, and then the family sat together to eat.
The wild boar hunted this time was quite big, so everyone killed the boar together and each family got some pig blood, large bones and meat. Naturally, the three families of Lu Fanghai got the most. Lu Sangui's parents died early, so he took the things he got to his brother Ershun's house to improve their lives and get a meal for them. Qiu Yong took them back and asked his mother to make them into cured meat, and also sent some to his fiancée's family in the neighboring village.
The weather was getting warmer, and Lu Fanghai was afraid that the chickens and rabbits would become smelly after a long time, so he plucked their feathers and dug out their internal organs. He borrowed some white wine from the village chief's house, made them into cured meat, and hung them under the eaves to dry. He also spread the musk deer in the shade, preparing to sell them in the town tomorrow.
After finishing these, he went to say hello to Old Yang, who was driving the ox cart, and asked him to leave from his doorstep tomorrow, and reminded him not to forget, and then he returned home.
From Aunt Lu's house next door came the sounds of beating and scolding, accompanied by the crying of children, one after another, it was very lively.
It turned out that when the wild boar was being slaughtered, because Yulan's father was bedridden and unable to get up, and her younger brother was young and had no one to help, they were only given a piece of pig blood and a bone. Fortunately, Lu Sangui took pity on his aunt and gave her half a pig's face and a piece of large intestine. When she came back and saw the paralyzed man on the bed, Aunt Lu felt very upset and made a fuss at home.
Yulan was worried about her future, and was annoyed by hearing her being beaten and scolded, so she came out to get some fresh air.
Just as I walked out of the door, I saw a few horses coming towards me outside the village. On the horses were several sturdy young men. When they saw Yulan, someone rode up to her and asked for directions.
"Taohua Village? This is Taohua Village. Which one are you looking for?" Yulan blushed slightly, and turned sideways to answer the questions of several people.
One of the young men in dark green clothes smiled and said, "I heard that someone in Taohua Village hunted roe deer in the mountains. My grandmother likes wild game, so she asked along the way to find it. I wonder if you know which hunter hunted it?"
