Traveling through ancient times as a hunter

Li Wang took Brother Yong to the field, and Cheng Duo was already waiting at the top of the field. When he saw Li Wang walking in front with a cold face, he called out, "Uncle Li."

Then he shifted his puzzled eyes to Brother Yong's face and asked him what's going on?

Brother Yong is really hard to explain, his father ran to his uncle's house early in the morning, seemed to have had a fight with his uncle and his mother, and threatened to sever ties.And as he listened outside the yard, it seemed that Cheng Duo was involved in what the auntie said... What did he say?

It was Li Wang who noticed Cheng Duo's eyes, adjusted his expression and replied: "It's okay, let's go to work."

"Okay." Cheng Duo didn't ask much.

Li Wang is a seasoned farmer. Although he has a lame leg, he turns over the ground very fast. Every hoe goes down to the same depth, just turning out the roots and stems of the weeds. The ridges are uniform.

Brother Yong is a little slower, but he turns the ground more carefully.

Only Cheng Duo, because he was not familiar with the deep and shallow hoe, the ridge he turned over was completely different from that of the other two in peacetime and on the battlefield.

Fortunately, Cheng Duo was so strong that he didn't feel tired just turning the ground, so when Li Wang stopped to rest, he was far ahead of the two of them.

Seeing this, Li Wang didn't ask Brother Yong to continue digging. He asked him to pick up the weeds in the field, put them in a basket, and carry them to the compost pit dug beside the field.These grasses are retting inside for a period of time, and can be mixed with plant ash and other fertilizers, and then buried back in the ground.

When Cheng Duo stopped, he found that the sun was already high.His chest and back were already wet with sweat. If he hadn't taken into account that this was ancient times, he would have taken off his clothes and gone bare-chested.

Cheng Duo glanced at Li Wang, who was still working hard, and walked to Brother Yong, who was picking up grass with a basket on his back: "It's getting late, why don't you go back and cook?"

Brother Yong agreed: "I'll go after picking up this back."

He was also sweating profusely from the heat, his cheeks were flushed, and his slightly brown complexion occasionally showed a little fairness. It could be seen that the effect of the potion seemed to be about to expire.

Cheng Duo glanced at it, then turned his gaze away and didn't look any more. He just stood there for a moment and reminded again: "I put the meat and food for cooking on the stove, so don't be reluctant to use them."

He felt that the work he had done all morning was worth a big bowl of sizzling fried pork with bamboo shoots.Of course, apart from these, he didn't prepare vegetables at all, for fear that Brother Yong would fool him with boiled vegetables again.

Brother Yong glanced at him helplessly: "Got it."

The two of them are already familiar with each other, and Brother Yong speaks naturally.Li Wang, who was far away, looked at this scene, and suddenly felt a little sad—Brother Yong was not as lively in front of him as he was in front of Cheng Duo!

When it was time to eat lunch, Li Wang looked at the oily fried pork with bamboo shoots, sliced ​​pork with pickled vegetables, and fried cabbage with lard residue on the table, and was shocked by Brother Yong's heroic approach.

Brother Yong won't cook everything they have at home just because Cheng Duo pays for it?This is too cruel...

What's more, he even made rice with corn balls!

Li Wang looked at the three big bowls of rice brought by Brother Yong, and his hands trembled in fright: "Brother Yong, you..."

This is nothing but what!

Brother Yong looked at his father helplessly: "Father, Cheng Duo likes to eat like this."

He just went to the field to pick the cabbage, and it only grew a small piece after planting it. Because Cheng Duo didn't have a leaf of the cabbage in the kitchen, he had to pick it off and fry a plate.

Cheng Duo was really satisfied, picked up a large piece of fried meat with his chopsticks, took another mouthful of rice, and said with satisfaction: "That's right, we will follow this standard in the future."

While eating, he still did not forget to greet Li Wang: "Uncle Li, you eat too."

Li Wang cautiously reminded him: "This...Cheng Duo, life is not like this. You can't eat as much as you have in hand. What should you do after eating?"

"It's okay, I'll just go up the mountain to hunt after eating. I haven't finished eating the meat I set up to sell at the stall yesterday. If there is too much meat at home, it is easy to attract wolves."

Cheng Duo said, pointing to a row of cured meat such as pheasants, rabbits, wild geese and so on hanging under the eaves.Because he thinks pork is the most delicious, he insisted on asking Brother Yong to make pork.

Li Wang: "..." Is there still time for him to learn how to hunt?

There is a high probability that it will be too late. He went to the mountains to collect herbs when his legs and feet were still flexible. It is not that he has never seen pheasants flying around, but he has never caught one.Moreover, he has also seen other hunters, and those people really have no land, so they can't go to the mountains to beg for a living.

Their hunting is not as easy as Cheng Duo's. When they are unlucky, they can't catch a prey for several days, let alone a big one.

Li Wang looked around at Cheng Duo's wolf skin hanging on the shelf, and gained a new understanding of Cheng Duo's ability.

But obviously, his cognition is still far away...

Brother Yong also saw it now, frowned and said: "No wonder I saw footprints in the vegetable field just now, it turned out to be a wolf!"

It's not a good thing to be missed by wolves.

Brother Yong remembered the wolf he killed when he saw Cheng Duo for the first time, and he suspected that the wolves were after Cheng Duo.

Cheng Duo didn't take it seriously: "It's okay, they only came to give me wolf skins and meat, I wish they could come more times."

"You better be careful." Brother Yong reminded worriedly.

Li Wang also persuaded: "I heard from those old hunters that wolves are very cunning. If they can't be beaten, they will not only sneak up from behind, but also drive their prey into traps like sheep... You often have to go up the mountain, be careful, and you will always be wrong." wrong."

Cheng Duo paused, but he didn't say that he had been attacked by a wolf. In order to keep his ears clean, he could only pretend to be educated.

Brother Yong couldn't see that Cheng Duo didn't listen, but he knew that Cheng Duo was very strong and could kill a wolf with his bare hands even if he didn't have a weapon in his hand, so he wasn't very worried.

Li Wang worked at Cheng Duo's place for three days, and every day there was at least one dish of meat on the table, not to mention the staple food, either steamed buns, pancakes or rice.

It's not that Li Wang didn't remind Brother Yong in private, but as soon as Brother Yong cut back on his meals and there were more vegetables on the table, Cheng Duo turned around and complained to him.He was caught between Cheng Duo and his father, and he didn't know who to listen to...

The more Li Wang worked, the more guilty he felt. They finished the job in three days that could have been done in five days.This is mainly due to Cheng Duo. He speeded up the progress, and Cheng Duo also speeded up.

He was so strong, as if he was tireless, and carried the heavy bucket as if it was nothing... Later, Cheng Duo simply refused to let him pick it, and only let him and Brother Yong water the ground.

Just when the farm work on the four acres of land was about to be finished, Wu Guihua, who had never appeared before, suddenly appeared in a mighty manner with Li Sanye and the village elders.

In addition to Wu Guihua, even Brother Feng, who hadn't shown up for several days and was pale, followed along.

Li Wang frowned when he saw Wu Guihua: "What are you doing here?"

"Second, what tone are you talking about? This Orion has given you benefits, so you're just helping outsiders, right?" Wu Guihua was obviously not angry at all.

Li Wang was also very stubborn. He glanced at the third master Li and the elders in the village who came together, and said mercilessly: "I said it once at Li Mancang's house before, and I will say it again in front of you today. , I have severed the brotherhood with Li Mancang..."

"Second, what are you talking about?" Wu Guihua screamed and wanted to interrupt him, but Li Wangli ignored him and continued: "Their family has nothing to do with me from now on! You don't come here to talk, I'm just poor and hungry If you die, you won't beg Li Mancang!"

"Li Wang, how can you say that?" Li Sanye frowned in disapproval: "After all, they are brothers, breaking the bones and connecting the tendons. If there is any conflict, just talk about it, why bother to sever the relationship!"

Cheng Duo was not surprised at all, he knew that the ancient clan and kinship were very close, and cutting off the relationship was tantamount to cutting off the way out.That's why he wanted to buy the land of Li Mancang's family before, so he specifically asked Brother Yong for his opinion, because he knew that this kinship relationship could not be broken if he wanted to.

Li Wang couldn't speak ill of the deceased old lady, so he could only put aside his face and say: "Third Master, I have my reasons for doing this, you don't need to worry about it!"

"Third Master, look at him, just when something happened to our family, he couldn't help but add insult to injury!" The villain Wu Guihua told first: "Did this Orion encourage you? How much money did he give you? Eldest brother doesn't care?"

Li Wang turned down coldly: "Mr. Wu, do you really want me to explain clearly in public?"

Wu Guihua was suffocated, he was really afraid that Li Wang would leave everything behind!

Although filial piety was the first priority in ancient times, children should never say anything bad about their parents, but they are just a group of villagers who only know how to farm.

Just like Li Da and Li Er, Li Wang took too much control, they even beat Li Wang!Moreover, the village tyrants on one side are actually very scary. Most people dare not provoke them, and if they don't harm the interests of the vast majority of people in the village, they will not easily drive them away.

Because driving people away means cutting off their way of life. If they can't survive, who knows if they will come back to take revenge on the villagers?It's impossible for them to seal up the whole village!

Li Sanye and others looked at each other, knowing that there must be something inside, but Li Wang didn't tell them, so it was hard for them to ask.I just don't know why this time, this honest man like Li Wang was forced to ruthlessly want to sever the brotherhood...

"Li Wang..." Li Sanye wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Li Wang: "San Ye, how have I treated Li Mancang these years, and how has he treated me? I believe you all understand in your heart. There is no need to persuade me any more, in short, their family has nothing to do with me from now on... You should stop provoking me, otherwise I will get violent and I don't know what I will do."

Li Wang's last sentence was obviously addressed to Wu Guihua. Wu Guihua was angry, but she had more important things to do at the moment, so she didn't resort to the usual slapstick trick.

"Third Master, are you here for business?" Cheng Duo asked Wu Guihua, seeing that there was something he didn't understand.

This Wu osmanthus flower didn't come early or late, but waited for them to finish the farm work in the field, and brought people here.

Isn't this already calculated?

But when it comes to scheming against him, she's probably overthinking it!
