Porridge and side dishes [farming]

Li Ji didn't know what he was obsessed with either.Following Er Gouzi to the grave of his parents, knowing that even if they heard about it, they would never allow the two of them to be together, but they just wanted to drag Er Gouzi over to have a good kowtow.

After kowtowing and recognizing his parents, Li Ji got his wish, and took Er Gouzi back to continue working.

In the past three days, I haven't seen a wolf come down to deliver prey. Prey is scarce in the winter on the mountain. If you are unlucky, you may not be able to catch prey for ten days and a half months.

There is still a lot of pork left in the house, and some fat Li Ji and Er Gouzi don’t like to eat it. When there is no meat, fat meat is of course a good thing. It satisfies the glutton and is very hungry, but when there is no shortage of meat, the fat meat will be greasy. .

Li Ji picked out some fat meat and stewed it, and asked Er Gouzi to send it to the mountain. This fat meat is very important and precious to the wolves who lack food on the mountain. The next morning, there was a dead mouse at the door. The reward of the alpha wolf.

Such a little mouse doesn't have much meat, and there is nothing left after the skin is peeled.At noon, I had to stew rabbit meat, and I stewed it in advance. I picked it out and distributed it to the wolf, and then added salt. After breakfast, I went up the mountain to send it to the wolf.

I haven't seen that wolf these days, but the habit of wolves catching their prey and stewing it has remained.

To be honest, Li Ji missed it a bit.

After counting the days, two days passed and it was New Year's Eve.

The sound of firecrackers was heard outside one after another in the morning. Li Ji went out to light firecrackers. Er Gouzi was still killing chickens and rabbits in the yard. Two pigs were killed before and now there is still a lot of meat left. The remaining five pigs should be raised again. It took two months to eat.

Li Ji harvested all the edible vegetables on the balcony. The left half was just edible, and the right half was just planted half a month ago.

Boil the water to remove the feathers from the chicken, and Er Gouzi sits at the door and peels the rabbit skin.Li Ji pressed the blooded chicken into boiling water and soaked it, then took it out after a while and plucked the hair while it was hot.

The little tail happily rubbed against Li Ji and Er Gouzi again.At this time, count it as the happiest, because some of the animals will be inedible after killing the animals, which is cheaper for the little tail.

Li Ji looked at the round figure of the little tail, stretched out his foot and kicked it lightly: "I just know how to eat, I'm already fat like a pig, and I don't see how you manage things."

Little Tail couldn't understand what Li Ji was saying, thought Li Ji was getting close to him, stuck out his tongue to lick the toes that Li Ji had kicked, and looked at Li Ji cheerfully wagging his tail.

Seeing this, Li Ji's heart softened, and he cut off the chicken butt and threw it to him: "Every dog ​​in ten miles and eight villages counts as one. Who enjoys such a blessing like you?"

As he said so, isn't it because Li Ji, the master, that Little Tail can enjoy such a blessing?

The little tail lowered its head and ate so much that the tail almost shook off.

The New Year's Eve dinner is to try our best to exhaust all kinds of culinary skills.In fact, when it comes to culinary skills, the two are evenly matched, and they are not very good.At most, I eat too many good things, and I have some experience in cooking ingredients, but that’s all. Besides, whatever I take is stewed, and I add a little basil, chili and other seasonings, but for other methods Both of them know nothing.

After Li Ji finished plucking the chicken, he suddenly remembered the balls made by someone who had eaten them when he was a child. Whoever ate them forgot, they were meatballs made of fish, the fried ones.I don't know how to make it, Li Ji just thinks it is very delicious.

I eat a lot of good things, and I have a deep memory of the delicious food I ate by accident in my childhood when I didn't eat much meat.In the past, when I had a bite of meat, I only thought about the meat in front of me and could not think of anything else. Now that I am used to the days of big fish and big meat, I think of looking for the taste of the past.

After tidying up the internal organs of the chicken, chop them into pieces and marinate them with rice wine, salt and pepper. Li Ji fished out a fish from the water tank, thinking about preparing it with Er Gouzi first.

"Er Gouzi, I want to try making fish balls, but I've never done it before, I just vaguely know how to do it, let's make less, you can help me try it."

Er Gouzi nodded. At this time, the rabbit had been dealt with, and Er Gouzi was tanning.I didn’t know it before, but now I have learned it after a long time, and I don’t need to make it too detailed. As long as it is not too hard, I can take it to a leather goods store for secondary processing.

Li Ji was afraid that the fish would not taste good, so he killed the fish and only cut a quarter of the fish to try to make fish balls. The rest was marinated like chicken and kept for stewing at night.

Mince the chicken and add seasonings. There are a lot of seasonings at home, most of which are gifts from grain and oil stores.Li Ji is familiar with the condiment, even if the ingredients are misplaced, it won't taste bad, so I boldly put it in.

After stirring for a long time, it looked like it looked like, Li Ji tried to rub the balls, and they came out soft and squishy.After burning the fire and pouring soybean oil, Li Ji crossed the river by feeling the stones. He felt that the oil was almost warm and threw the balls into it.

After tossing and tossing for a while, I finally figured it out. Few fried things are inexperienced, and the fish balls were fished out in different shades of color. Li Ji looked at the fish balls and really didn't have much confidence.

Let it cool down for a while, pick out one with a lighter color and throw it to Little Tail: "Hey, try it first."

The little tail didn't know Li Ji's bad intentions, wagging its tail, took the ball into his mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it whole, then waited expectantly for Li Ji to continue feeding.

Li Ji looked at it for a while, and swallowed his question about whether it was good or not.Swallow after you taste it?

Li Ji turned his gaze to Ergouzi, who was looking at him expectantly.After all, he was not willing to let Er Gouzi test the poison for him, so Li Ji picked one up and took a bite.

Much better than expected, not very tasty, but not unpalatable.He ate a ball into his stomach and smashed his mouth, and picked up another one to feed Er Gouzi without worry.

"How about you come and taste it."

Er Gouzi opened his mouth and ate a ball: "It's delicious."

...I just like the way you stare and talk nonsense.

"Don't bother, it tastes like the one I ate when I was young, but unfortunately I can't just drop by during the Chinese New Year, or I'll go to the village and ask who can make meatballs. It's okay, at least I'll add something to our New Year's Eve dinner .”

Li Ji took out the fish that had been marinated before, and this time he shaved off all the meat and made it again according to the method just now. This time, he adjusted the proportion of seasoning, and it really felt much better to do it again.

In the morning, I was busy preparing the ingredients, and in the afternoon, I started to stew some dishes that were not easy to cook, and then started mixing the noodles and chopping the stuffing.

There are four kinds of dumpling fillings, one of which is vegan.Li Ji is not as good as Er Gouzi's stomach, too much oily food will make him greasy, this vegetarian food can be said to be prepared for Li Ji alone.

Later, I started to fry other dishes in the pan. It was getting dark, and the firecrackers in the village were fired one after another, and the dishes were all out of the pan. Immediately, Er Gouzi put the dumplings down. He lit a few candles in the house, The house was brightly lit.

The dumplings are out of the pot and firecrackers are lit, and the second New Year spent with Er Gouzi is accompanied by the fragrance of the house.The two sat together, two pairs of chopsticks and four bowls, two bowls for drinking, and two bowls for dipping dumplings.

Li Ji picked up a fish ball and put it in Er Gouzi's bowl: "Try it quickly, this should be better than the previous one."

Er Gouzi chewed the fish balls and nodded repeatedly. He smiled a little silly, but sincerely without any impurities, like a child, which made people feel better.

Li Ji took one for himself, bit off half of it, and nodded: "It's really much better, but it's still a lot worse than what I ate when I was young. Tsk, go back to the village to learn more. It's better to ask a master to learn more." vegetable."

In the past, Li Ji rarely saw even meat, and there were not many dishes he could eat, and there were only a few things he could cook. Now, he lacks everything but decent craftsmanship.

Li Ji was still thinking about where to go to apprentice in the future, when the chopsticks sank, he lowered his head and left half of the fish balls gone. He turned his head to look at Er Gouzi, Er Gouzi swept the table with his chopsticks and ate deliciously.

Li Ji spotted Er Gouzi's chopsticks, stretched his head over and ate a good piece of meat that Er Gouzi had just picked out.

Er Gouzi also looked at the empty chopsticks, thought for a while and picked out another piece of meat, quickly grabbed it with his lips, and looked at Li Ji with a smile.

Li Ji looked at Er Gouzi's actions and felt ashamed and flustered, so he didn't move.Er Gouzi didn't see Li Ji coming to pick him up, so he deliberately stretched his head towards him, and Li Ji stepped back a little: "Don't make trouble."

Er Gouzi had already tasted the fish meat on the tip of his tongue, but he still didn't see Li Ji taking it, so he stretched out his hand and pulled Li Ji's neck, sticking it to feed him.

Li Ji pushed it twice but didn't push it away, so he let Er Gouzi do whatever he wanted.

After Er Gouzi finished feeding and took advantage of it, Li Ji wiped his mouth: "Where did I learn it?"

Er Gouzi said truthfully: "The beasts in the mountains have been fed like this."

Li Ji looked at Er Gouzi for a long while, and gave a thumbs up.

This can all be learned.

The two of them had enough to eat and drink, and it was already late at night.There was half a table of food left on purpose, and they were placed one on top of the other in the bowl rack. The drunk Li Ji was stripped naked and got into the bed, rolling comfortably.

Er Gouzi added fire to the stove pit, and when he entered the room, he saw Li Ji's face was flushed, and he smiled with satisfaction while showing his shoulders.

This look is too poignant.Er Gouzi doesn't know what emotional appeal is, he only knows that he has no resistance to such Li Ji.

Li Ji was woken up by a knock on the door, Li Ji frowned and turned over, muttering something.Or Er Gouzi sat up and asked who.

The people outside the door heard someone responding, and hurriedly said: "Fourth Uncle! Hey... I don't want to come here either. I can't help it. Uncle Fucai disappeared last year, and another one left this year. He was still caught by several people this morning. The child found it. Did you get up on the kang? Come with me to have a look."

Li Ji listened clearly to what he said and was completely refreshed. He sat up and asked, "Who died?"

"It's my Brother Changdong! Fourth Uncle, why don't you open the door first and let me in?"

Li Jigang wanted Er Gouzi to open the door, but he suddenly became sober and stopped himself, he and Er Gouzi covered the same bed, and they had tossed about half the night last night, even a fool who came in would understand what was going on.

"Wait a minute, I was so drunk last night that I was a little flustered." Li Ji hurriedly put on his clothes and asked Er Gouzi to quickly fold the quilt. He put on his belt to see that there was nothing wrong with him, and then he went out of the bedroom and went to the kitchen open the door.

Fortunately, the two are used to sleeping with the door hanging, otherwise the village is used to opening the door when they enter the yard, and they can directly block the two of them under the quilt, which would be hard to argue with.

Going to open the door, Li Ji's face was covered with sweat, and he opened the door with some embarrassment, "Let's go."

Everyone was curious, Li Ji was inside for a while before he came to open the door, and the person who came to report the letter followed along, looking in through the crack of the door, but the door of the inner room was half-closed, so he couldn't see inside.

The man was a little disappointed and said: "Li Changdong of our family, you know, after the death of his father and mother, he separated from his brother and lived alone, and he didn't have a daughter-in-law or anything. His brother Li Changxi felt sorry for him when he was alone and cold I asked his family to have a hot meal. Last night Li Changdong was happy to drink two more glasses and went back. This morning, he saw that his hat was left at Li Changxi’s house. Li Changxi was afraid that his brother’s ears would be cold if he didn’t have a hat, so he asked his son to give it to him. Send it over, but his son went over and saw Brother Changdong was hardened, and he disappeared last night."

Last year, there was no one who celebrated the New Year, and this year it is still the New Year, and there will be no good people.

"What happened?" Li Ji asked.

"Mr. Xue, please go over and look. He said he was frozen to death. You will know where you are. There is no heat in the room. Look, it was not lit last night. Li Changdong may be very drunk when he comes home. I fell asleep on the kang without even lighting the stove.”

Hearing his words, Li Ji not only remembered that last year he was drunk and tossing with Er Gouzi, but he also lay naked on the kang overnight.

I was lucky not to be frozen to death at that time, but it was also because the kang was lit before going to bed the night before, so it would not be too cold. Both of them are young men with good physiques, otherwise they would have been buried in the ground last year.

"The child must be frightened." Li Ji said.

"Can you not be scared? This is the time for the New Year's Eve. Cough... To say that the most unlucky one is Li Changxi's family. It is because he is kind and reluctant to let his brother be alone. In the past, Li Changdong was fooled by himself, and the dumplings were not good. Bao, it was Li Changxi who asked the child to bring the cooked dumplings. Didn’t I buy a few catties of rabbit meat from you this year? I thought about asking my brother to eat a couple of good ones, and I couldn’t imagine killing him like this. "

People who live alone, if they are not very drunk, how can they forget to turn on the stove in the deep winter?

"It's what fate should be. No one is to blame for this matter. It's Chang Dong's bad fate." Li Ji said.

"That's right." The man sighed, "I don't know if Li Changxi can pass this hurdle. After all, he is my real brother. I definitely can't bear it in my heart."

After entering the village and turning a corner, when we arrived at Li Changdong's house, we heard crying from inside. The sadness overwhelmed the joy of the New Year.

Except for Li Changdong's immediate relatives, the rest of the people present were the elders of the village, including the village chief.

When they saw Li Ji coming, they all nodded to him.

Li Ji is not very old, but these days Li Ji's performance has been very good, even with a kind of courage that others don't have. Originally, Li Ji has gradually grown up and faded, and he is already an adult, although he is not older. The vicissitudes of life, but now standing with the elderly, no one underestimated him.

"Is the mourning hall built yet?" Li Ji asked.

"I just found out, and I was thinking about letting Changxi's son wipe Changdong's body as a filial son, but his son is so scared that he hasn't recovered yet, it must be impossible, and he is still worrying."

This matter is really difficult to handle. It stands to reason that when a person who lives alone dies, one of his brothers and sons will be selected as a filial son to die for him. In the future, the tablet can be placed in the ancestral hall to receive incense from future generations. Correspondingly, the money he has saved in his life Even real estate and real estate, except for a small part to be distributed to other families, most of it is in the pocket of the filial son.

Even if it wasn't for the inheritance and the brother is still there, it would not be good for this filial son to fall on someone else.

"Then I'll go and see people." Li Ji said and walked inside.It's not that he's not afraid of seeing dead people, it's just that when people are gone, this side is the last in this life.

Li Ji went to take a look, folded his hands together and bowed, and said a word about Amitabha.

In fact, this kind of death is scary even thinking about it, just lying there silently, dying silently.

It is even conceivable that he might have come to his senses before he died, and might be struggling.It's just that his limbs were so frozen that he couldn't move, and he just froze to death like this.

If someone had helped light the fire, or if he had been discovered earlier, he might still be alive now.

After all, this is life.When Lord Yan came to the door, he never cared about time, day, or person.

This kind of occasion is really not suitable for Li Ji, and of course, it is not suitable for anyone at all.After seeing the remains of the deceased, I couldn't help but bring myself in. It was really uncomfortable to think about it so deeply.

Li Changdong's younger brother Li Changxi threw himself on top of him and wept, gritted his teeth with tears in silent remorse.

Li Ji wanted to persuade, but it was obviously not the time to persuade others, so he withdrew first.

Faintly hearing other people's voices, Li Ji found a place out of the way and stood there, watching people coming in and out. After a while, the kung fu mourning hall was set up.

Li Changxi's daughter-in-law brought the frightened son over to kowtow to his uncle, and then let him enter the house to wipe his uncle's body.

When the back and forth is over and the younger generation is left to burn the paper money, Li Ji doesn't have to stay there.

After saying hello and leaving, Li Ji was not in a good mood and went back directly.

The aroma of rice could be smelled from a distance. Li Ji went into the house and climbed onto the kang to drive away the cold air. Er Gouzi brought him boiling water and said, "The dishes are all hot, I'll make dumplings and we'll eat right away."

"Well, let me take it easy for a while, I'm almost freezing to death after staying in someone's yard for a long time."

At home, the kang is hot, and the water is also hot. Sitting on the kang and watching Er Gouzi busy inside and out, my heart is also hot.

Er Gouzi went to work in the kitchen, and a table of dishes was served in a short while.They were left on purpose last night. It seemed that Er Gouzi hadn't eaten at one o'clock in the morning and was just waiting for Li Ji to come back for dinner.

Li Ji stopped Er Gouzi just as he was about to pour the wine over, "Forget it, let's drink less in the future, I've remembered it."

Stretching out his chopsticks, he picked up a dumpling that was stained with ingredients, bit it into his mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it eagerly.

"Another person disappeared in our village, because he drank too much and didn't burn the kang and froze to death. This happened before, and I thought that I would remember that one time and then there would be no more. How can I just go away like this?" .”

Er Gouzi didn't speak, and ate with Li Ji.

After eating several dumplings in a row to appease the stomach that was about to rebel, Li Ji said: "I am also greedy for alcohol. I bought a catty and two catties and looked greedy. I can drink it all in a day or even a meal. I drink it." You know what kind of drunk you are, and you pour it wherever you see it. There is no matter whether the stove is on or not, and whether the kang is hot or not. Without you, if I have two spare money to buy wine, I will freeze to death After that, I will be the one who will be taken as a lesson by the whole village.”

It was only at this time that Li Ji lamented how good it is to be alive, and how good it is to be able to eat something warm while alive.Li Ji doesn't care what happens when he dies, whether someone will cry or burn paper for incense.These are not important, Li Ji only cares about being alive.

"I will not die. We will live together." Er Gouzi's voice was gentle, "It doesn't matter how much you drink, I will always remember that when it is cold in winter, you must turn on the stove before going to bed, so that you can sleep soundly."

Li Ji's heart softened, and he said unrelentingly: "I'm drunk so you can take advantage of it, right?"

Er Gouzi looked up at Li Ji, looked left and right, and then said: "You look better after drinking, and you take the initiative to do it, but I can take advantage of drinking or not."

Now Li Ji really feels that Er Gouzi's telling the truth is a problem and needs to be corrected.

"Did you say something happened to our village? Last year, Dazhang Fucai disappeared, and this year, people died in Dali. If you say that this day is not a joke, but is it true that people died on this day for two years in a row? something inside?"

Where does Er Gouzi know about strange powers and chaos?Probably never heard of it.

"don't know."

"Where do you know where to go? I don't understand. If it wasn't because my father died and I did something before and after hearing Mr. Yin Yang say something, I wouldn't know anything." Li Ji thought for a while and couldn't figure it out. Understood, ordered Er Gouzi to make a pot of tea.

For those who celebrate the Chinese New Year, this water will not be saved.

People are gone during the Chinese New Year, and all the Spring Festival couplets that were just pasted have been torn off and replaced with elegiac couplets. Li Changxi’s son is a filial son to Li Changdong. I only got such a new dress last year, and after wearing it for a day, I have to take it off and put it back on, and I won't be able to move for the next year.

There is no fuss, only Li Changxi's family is in charge of Li Changdong's death.In the past, when the relationship between the village was closer, the younger generation burned two pieces of paper, which was considered as benevolent and righteous.

If it is another day, when people leave, many people will come over, and if they meet someone who has lived past [-], they will be considered as birthday stars. Many people will go to grab the offerings and cloths and bring them home Children use it, it is said that it can bring the blessings of birthday stars to the younger generation.

These two days have been a bit gloomy, but there hasn't been a single snowfall, and the temperature is not as cold as the previous days, and I won't feel cold even if I only wear a thin cotton jacket.Li Ji went to see him again the next day, and they all said that Li Changdong had a good relationship with heaven, God had warmed up the weather when he left, and those who guarded his spirit would suffer a little bit.

In the morning of the third day of junior high school, Li Ji got up and went to the door to have a look as usual. He was surprised to see two rabbits.

It is said that the third day of the Lunar New Year is a day for visiting people to give gifts, but this wolf knows the etiquette of people, so he happened to give New Year's gifts.

But today Li Ji has no way to return gifts, because many people will come to give gifts today, and they are meant to be entertained.

Li Ji's family had bought tea sets from the city, but he and Er Gouzi were used to drinking tea from the home's earthenware bowls, and they felt dissatisfied with drinking tea from teacups and tea bowls. After using them a few times, they washed them and put them away.

Today Li Ji dug it out and tidied it up, and used these small teacups and tea bowls bought in the city to entertain guests.

It can't be said that Li Ji is stingy, but that water is precious, and he doesn't care about tea, but he and Er Gouzi bought this water from outside.The fragrance of tea in his house, when there was no shortage of water in the past, each visitor would eat one or two bowls of tea on average, but now it must be consumed faster when there is a shortage of water.

Li Ji is not the kind of person who casually takes advantage of others.The tea for entertaining people is basically delivered by the grain and oil store, and the guests don't feel bad when they drink it, but if they drink too much water, they have to buy water during the Chinese New Year, which is too troublesome.

This kind of small teapot is only a little more than a catty when it is full, and a teacup is more than one or two cups.

On the water, Li Ji had a lot of intentions to let others eat less, and it was inevitable to give away snacks.

The adults can say, a handful of melon seeds or peanuts is enough, and the children also need to give some candies. There is no shortage of these in the family, so Li Ji doesn't feel bad.

With the experience of last year, people who have children this year will bring their children to kowtow to Li Ji to pay New Year greetings. Even if the adults are juniors, Li Ji is awkward and unwilling to accept it. A child's kowtow is equivalent to adding longevity to the child, and Li Ji does not Stop it, if you meet a child with a sweet mouth, you will catch more. At the end of the day, a bag of candies will bottom out, that is, Li Ji and Er Gouzi eat less on the candies, even if they are all given away, there will still be more food. There is no need to worry about the snacks next to you.

The supply of tea is under control, and there is no shortage of waste water throughout the day.At night, when everyone left, Li Ji looked at the water in the tank and felt distressed.

When I was cooking at night, I was bored with rice, and I ate dumplings for several days in a row. People who love dumplings are also a little tired.

When I went out to search for the stock of meat at home, Er Gouzi ate a lot of meat, and no matter how much stock was in the house, it would usually not take more than half a month to consume it.

There were still a few pieces of fat in the pork. Thinking of the two rabbits brought by the wolf in the morning, Li Ji said to Er Gouzi who was drinking water for the cow: "We don't eat much fat, so we might as well stew it all for the wolf to eat. The two rabbits it sent over are probably enough for him to eat for a few days, hunting in winter is not easy, and I don’t know how many bites he can eat by himself besides the prey he sent over.”

Er Gouzi nodded without objection, and reached out to touch the bull's head at hand.

The two cows have grown up quite a bit, and the cow is in good health. She usually relies on her to pull the cart. A few days ago, she was able to share some milk from the cows. Recently, the milk has become less and less, so it is not difficult for the family The great hero.

Er Gouzi never knew before that prey could be raised in enclosures, and their strength could be used to make him more convenient.

After following Li Ji for such a long time, to be honest, Er Gouzi enjoys this process very much. It is really more convenient to raise prey and let them breed to obtain inexhaustible prey than risking his life on the mountain in exchange for survival food many.

Er Gouzi enjoyed this peace very much.Although sometimes he still has the urge to go hunting in the mountains, but this urge can never compare with his feelings for Li Ji.

In the evening, I made some fried shredded pork with sauce and stewed meat with sauerkraut. Fatty meat is the best stewed sauerkraut meat, and you don’t need too much. A few slices can blend the aroma of meat into the sauerkraut. If you don’t like fatty meat, you can feed it to the dog. The greasy sauerkraut is mixed with the aroma of meat, and it is most enjoyable to eat it in your mouth while it is hot.

The next morning, when I was cooking, I prepared the food for the wolf. I didn’t dare to stew the food for the wolf too badly. I was afraid that the wolf would not eat it if it was not raw. It was hot when we went out, and it would freeze when we went up the mountain, but for the wolf's teeth, it shouldn't take much effort to eat.

Li Ji went up the mountain with Er Gouzi and put the food bowl on an inconspicuous stone. This time Li Ji didn't rush to go back, so he just occupied there for a while to see if he could wait for the wolf.After getting along these days, although he had never seen them before, Li Ji had a very good impression of wolves, especially in this winter, it should not be easy for wolves to obtain prey, but they still insisted on leaving the prey at his door.

Even if the wolf is to eat the meat cooked by Li Ji, it means that the wolf is defenseless against him and Er Gouzi.To be able to trust a beast enough to hand over its prey to you is an incredible thing in itself.

After waiting for a while without any movement, Li Ji was a little disappointed. Er Gouzi put his eyes on the tree and seemed to hear something. He looked up at the branch of the tree and seemed to remember something. He touched Li Ji to silence him, and then others Like a spirit monkey, he ran up a tree, leaned against the trunk and listened to something, and after a while, he jumped onto a branch with a hole in the tree. Er Gouzi reached in for a while, and took out a handful of nuts.

He carried a pocket with him, and Er Gouzi grabbed it and stuffed it into the pocket. When it was full, he touched something, held it in his hand and jumped off the tree.

"What's wrong?" Li Ji hurriedly went over to ask.

Er Gouzi opened his hand, and in his hands were three little squirrels that had just grown their fur. They were staring at him with trembling eyes, very pitiful.

Li Ji hurriedly took it and covered it with his hands: "Then why did you bring them down, their parents must not have gone far."

It is true that they hunt prey on the mountain, but they also have their own principles.Eating their meat is for survival, but it will not stop their reproduction. Er Gouzi basically does not target pregnant female animals when hunting, except for rabbits, who can breed by themselves when they catch live pregnant rabbits.

This squirrel grows up and doesn't have meat, and it's not on the menu of the two of them. Even if there is, it won't attack such a small cub, not to mention that this cub is so poignant, it's hard for people not to be pitiful. Relentless.

"There is blood at the mouth of the cave. Those who gave birth to cubs rarely come out of the cave. The cave is already cold. The mother should be caught and eaten. There is still a lot of food in it. I took it out. These three cubs will not survive. Long, they will find nuts, and I will show you if you can raise them like rabbits."

After hearing Er Gouzi's explanation and feeling the three little guys trembling in his hands, Li Ji's heart softened.

"You said that if we raise them up, can we find fruit for us to eat?"

Er Gouzi thought about it carefully, then shook his head and said, "I don't know, the ones in the mountains will leave when they grow up, but they will save a lot of food before winter, you see."

Er Gouzi handed the bag at his waist to Li Ji, and Li Ji took it and turned the weight with his hands. It weighed at least five or six catties, and he opened it to see the various nuts inside.

"So much, it's winter now. Most of the winter has passed, and I don't know how much food I have stored, so that it can still have so much." Li Ji admired it, but this most of the water-scarce winter They all survived, but after having cubs, they were taken out of the nest and killed. The remaining three little guys are quite pitiful.

"That's why I said to raise them, and I might give them fruits to eat in the future." Er Gouzi said seriously.

Li Ji smiled: "Do you really think that the wild beasts on the mountain are like the wolves we met? Are you willing to give us food? This is a wild animal, and it has been raised so big. It is not easy to raise it when you open your eyes. Maybe it will be raised up." I ran away when I got it. But they are pretty good-looking, we can take them back as toys and keep them looking good, and we don’t lack them for a bite to eat, and when they grow up, they run away.”

Li Ji took out a handkerchief, wrapped the three little guys with the handkerchief and put them in his clothes for pockets.

Not seeing the wolf is considered a reward, the two went home together, and within a few steps Er Gouzi heard the movement and looked back. Li Ji felt Er Gouzi's movement and looked back. At this time, he saw that There was a stir in the half-fallen bushes for a while, and a wolf's head emerged from it.

In fact, Li Ji waited here for a while just to be idle, and there was little hope of seeing the wolf, because from the time point of view, it was more like the wolf came to deliver the prey in the morning and ate the food by the way, and he actually ran into it .

Li Ji and the wolf looked at each other for a while, the wolf was obviously a little jealous, sniffed Li Ji vigorously, then carefully got out, and walked towards the food bowl.

The gray and white fur is shiny, and it feels very good to the touch.Li Ji, who was used to stroking the little tail hair, looked greedy, waited for a while and watched the wolf eat half of it, and boldly walked over.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the wolf raised his head apprehensively, looked at Li Ji for a while, and Li Ji took another step forward. After thinking about it, the wolf lowered his head and continued to eat.

At this time the wolf did not show the slightest aggressiveness, Li Ji heaved a sigh of relief, and looked back at Er Gouzi, Er Gouzi was very relieved to let Li Ji go over.

Li Ji couldn't tell, but Er Gouzi, who grew up on the mountain, could easily distinguish the hostility of a wild beast.When the wolf faced Li Ji, it only hesitated to run away, without the slightest murderous intent to attack. This meant that the wolf had no hostility towards Li Ji. Although he knew the fighting power of the wolf, Er Gouzi believed in his intuition and let Li Ji be bold. Go wolves.

Li Ji took two more steps, this time the wolf completely ignored his existence, finally Li Ji came to the side of the wolf, squatted down and looked at the wolf that was eating well.

The wolf looked at Li Ji who was squatting beside him, thought for a while, and turned to the side to give Li Ji a place to come out.

Willing to share food means that the wolf regards Li Ji as one of his own.

Encouraged, Li Ji put his hand on the back of the wolf's neck. The wolf didn't refuse, and he began to stroke lightly again, from the neck to the back, then raised his hand and placed his hand on the wolf's head.

Feeling the temperature above his head, the wolf raised his head to lick Li Ji's palm.Unlike Little Tail.The little tail has not grown up yet, the tongue is small, and it has no strength.But wolves are different. An adult wolf can lick half of Li Ji's palm with its tongue. This feeling is very real, and its strength is also quite strong.

In the past, Li Ji was afraid of dogs, and never knew that it was such a joy to be licked by such a big one.

That is to say, he is not familiar with wolves, but anyone who is familiar with Li Ji wants to hug wolves and have a good rub.

Li Ji touched the wolf, the wolf licked Li Ji and lowered his head to eat. When the meat was gone, the wolf licked the basin clean, then raised his head to lick Li Ji's hand, and then went to lick Li Ji's face.

Er Gouzi can't sit still anymore, so it doesn't matter if he licks his hands, he can also lick his left and right tails, but his face is Er Gouzi's exclusive place, and the wolf can't take it.

The wolf's tongue stretched out and licked the air, and looked at Er Gouzi with dissatisfaction.

The wolf bared its teeth to threaten, but couldn't lift it up in front of Er Gouzi. It hummed twice symbolically, and backed away.

Seeing how pitiful the wolf was, Li Ji didn't touch it enough, so he raised his eyes and looked at Er Gouzi with some reproach: "What are you doing?"

Er Gouzi wiped Li Ji's face with his hand, and said, "Mine, don't lick it."

Er Gouzi didn't know that he was jealous, but he only knew that he was very principled in his possession of Li Ji, he could use his hands but not his face.Just like Little Tail can be held by Li Ji in his arms, but only Er Gouzi can do it with Li Ji, and no one else can do such things as being naked in the bed and hugging each other.

Li Ji turned his eyes away, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.It's a good thing that my "daughter-in-law" is possessive of me, but Li Ji can't open her mouth to boast.

"Okay, let's go back. The three little guys in my arms are hungry, and our cow can squeeze out some milk. It's enough to feed them."

The little guy in his arms was very disturbed. He didn't know how many days he had been born since he had never raised him before. Anyway, he was definitely not weaned.

Er Gouzi had this intention, glanced at the wolf, and pulled Li Ji back quickly.

The wolf whined twice and wanted to get close to Li Ji, but was forced by Er Gouzi's coercion, watched them leave, and disappeared into the depths of the forest after a few jumps.

On the way back, Li Ji kept talking, muttering: "If I can't do it, the food that was sent up before will be eaten soon. The wolf's nose must be better than ours. Let's send the food up, Mr. Wolf You can smell the smell from far away and come here to eat. You said that I didn’t think of this a long time ago. I thought that I could meet wolves earlier. You haven’t touched it. It feels so comfortable to touch. Wolves are also good-looking. Our little tail is pretty."

(Little Tail, who is conscientiously watching the house, sneezes)

Er Gouzi listened intently and said nothing, and secretly decided in his heart that he would not take Li Ji up the mountain in the future.

When I got home, I milked some milk from the cow, and fed a little bit to the little squirrel with a spoon.at first
