The Sweet Little Fulang

"Dahui found it?"

Lu Gu's eyes were surprised, and he rubbed the head of the big gray dog ​​as he spoke. Compared with the cub's tail wagging excitedly, Big Hui only rubbed his head in his palm, but the fluffy tail behind him was also constantly swinging, which was enough Show its delight.

"Well." Shen Xuanqing nodded, it was getting late, he took the lead to go up, and said: "I was thirsty and tired at noon, resting by the stream to eat dry food, Da Hui ran away by himself, I couldn't even shout, so I had to Let it go, I will walk behind and call it and the name of the boy, so that it can hear the sound and know where I am."

"The dog has a sharp nose and runs fast. I don't know where I found it on Da Hui. I only heard it barking with Guai Zai far away. I was afraid that I would lose my way, so I stood there and called their names." wait."

After returning to the yard, Lu Gu broke two steamed buns for Guaizai who had been hungry for a whole day. He devoured it hungrily, and didn't dislike the fact that it wasn't meat at all. Da Hui was also eating steamed buns and drinking water.

Seeing that Shen Xuanqing's hair and clothes were dirty, he said: "You wash your hands first, I'll cook, and after I finish eating, boil water and wash my hair."

"Yeah." Shen Xuanqing said: "I'll take Dahei to pick up the bamboo basket. I caught two pheasants and a stupid tit alive yesterday. I don't know if they are still there."

Lu Gu went into the kitchen to get busy. The water celery cut yesterday afternoon was not fried, and the water spinach noodles were steamed a lot. There were still two bowls left, which can be eaten as soon as it is warmed up. He scooped up all the bamboo shoots soaked in the basin and cut them into Si, Guaizai and Shen Xuanqing are all back, they didn't eat well last night, so they have to order more dishes today.

In the woods, Shen Xuanqing and Dahei found the bamboo basket, the hatchet was still inside, and the tied-up pheasants were not far from the bamboo basket. Neither of them died. As for the injured stupid tit No need for him to look for it, Dahei found it in the grass half a mile away along the dots of blood on the ground.

The stupid tit is bigger than a pheasant, it can't fly, but its claws and beak are extremely sharp. He used a feathered arrow when he caught it yesterday, and the wing was injured. After one night, the stupid tit was entangled in the beak and couldn't release it. He screamed, his wings fluttered when he fled, he bled a lot, and he was already dead.

He picked up the stupid tit and stuffed it into the big bamboo basket, thinking that he just killed it when he went back and gave it to the good boy to eat.

It is also because this place is not far from the yard. More than ten years ago, the old hunter and some colleagues joined hands to hunt and chase wildly in the mountains to make money, forcing the wild beasts back into the deeper mountains. Otherwise, these preys might have been killed last night have eaten.

Compared with the cloud of gloom in the morning, both Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing had smiles on their faces during the meal.

The sun hadn't set yet, and the boy who came home was lying on the ground, holding a large piece of tit meat with his two front paws, and the same was true for Dahui and Dahei, but they were not as lazy, and they ate standing up.

A wisp of green smoke rose, and Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing were boiling bath water in the kitchen.

Shen Xuanqing added firewood to the bottom of the stove and said, "Take a rest tomorrow, and I will take you home the day after tomorrow."

Lu Gu was taken aback for a moment, but looked at him without saying a word.

He sighed softly, and said, "There are many wild animals in the mountains, especially in summer, and they tend to run around more than usual. Not to mention tigers and bears, wild boars are ferocious. It's better to stay at home."

"Then I'm going back, what about your meal?" Lu Gu frowned.

Shen Xuanqing smiled and said: "It's not that I can't cook anything. I didn't starve to death on the mountain before. You don't have to worry about that."

"Now the family has raised rabbits. I don't rush to come up after I send you down the mountain. You can also hunt rabbits in the front mountain. It will take a few days to get ten pairs of breeding rabbits. You will raise grass and feed them at home. I won't need them after I go up the mountain." Then catch these little things, save your energy, pick up deer and sheep and beat them, let alone deer, at least one sheep can be sold for a tael of silver, which is more profitable than selling rabbits and pheasants."

"If you only hunt big game, you can drag it down the mountain to sell as long as you catch it. Even if you only sell one sheep a month, you can still earn a tael of silver. In this way, the time you stay on the mountain is also short. It is estimated that you can go down after staying for a few days. Why don't I still eat the food you cook when I get home."

Shen Xuanqing said with a smile: "Two years ago when I was just a teacher, I was able to hunt sheep even when I was not skilled enough, but that was because of good luck. This year I was almost unlucky when I went up the mountain, and my family was busy, so I only caught a black-hoofed sheep." , as long as I don’t distract myself from hunting other things and follow the trail to find it, I’m sure I’ll be able to hunt it.”

Hearing this, Lu Gu, who listened carefully to his words, nodded his head heavily. He has always believed in Shen Xuanqing's ability.

"If you go down the mountain, I don't have to worry about it anymore. Dabai wants to watch the house at home. I will bring the boy up. I have three hounds in my hand, so I will be more careful." Shen Xuanqing said again: "There are too many animals in the house. Many, my sister-in-law is pregnant, and only my mother and elder brother take care of me. I am busy every day. You can help me when I go back. I stay at home more than ten days a month. If I share a share of the work, I won’t be so tired.”

When it came to this point, Lu Gu had no choice but to nod his head in agreement, but he was used to staying with Shen Xuanqing, and he felt a little bored, and his brows had not yet been stretched.

Seeing this, Shen Xuanqing grabbed his hand and clenched it tightly, and said with a smile: "You are at the bottom of the mountain, I must hurry back."

These words made Lu Gu's ears red all of a sudden, he hesitated for a long time and couldn't say a whole sentence, in such an intimate and charming joke, he finally showed his smile again.

-

The next day, Shen Xuanqing did not go out to hunt, and the gate of the courtyard was knocked loose by wild boars. He knocked left and right nails to clean it up, and planed wood to make a new long latch.

In fact, three bolts could be inserted into the gate of the courtyard. Lu Gu was too flustered at that time, and the wild boar was rushing into him, so he could only think of moving the long tree trunk to support the gate, but he didn't have time to insert the other two bolts.

Lu Gu couldn't help with these things, so he fetched water to wash Shen Xuanqing's changed clothes in the courtyard.

He sat on a small bench and scrubbed, listened to Shen Xuanqing planing wood, and looked at the vegetable field in the front yard. Once he left, Shen Xuanqing would not be able to live on the mountain for a few days a month. He wondered if the vegetables would dry out. He thought about it and told Shen Xuanqing.

Shen Xuanqing said: "It doesn't matter if it's dry, just dig some wild vegetables outside to eat, besides, there are loofahs and wax gourds in the backyard, the vines are so long, don't worry about it, there are two more months, depending on the rain, I guess it will be fine." Can produce a few."

"There are some things that you don't have to worry about too much. You go home and eat and drink well with your mother. There are a lot of vegetables grown at home, so just take care of them."

When he said this, Lu Gu felt a little relieved, with a slight smile on his face, he nodded and said, "Yes, I see."

After a peaceful day passed, the extreme fear of being chased by wild boars felt at ease after Shen Xuanqing came back. Only when she went out and saw the traces on the ground could she remember the thrills at that time.

When packing the burden, Shen Xuanqing was at the side to help, put all his clothes in, and didn't plan to let him come up again.

Locking the gate of the courtyard, Lu Gu felt somewhat indescribable emotion in his heart, glanced at the courtyard in front of him, and then turned around and went down the mountain with Shen Xuanqing.

-

Hearing what happened to Lu Gu on the mountain, Wei Lanxiang opened her eyes wide in horror, yelling hoah, ouch, and finally patted her chest to please her heart, and said, "It's okay, don't go up in the future."

Guaizi was playing cuju ball in the yard. Wei Lanxiang looked at it and said, "You and Erqing often say that it is smart, but it is strange, but it is really clever and knows how to protect the master. It is really a good dog."

In the past, she always felt that it was really distressing to feed too much meat to the dog. Now, when she saw the good boy with smooth hair and strong appearance, he was not afraid of even big wild boars.

"Brother Guzi, will you be at home from now on?" Shen Yan asked from the side.

"Well, I won't go up in the future." Lu Gu replied, but added: "I don't know, maybe your brother Erqing is too busy and doesn't have time to cook. I can follow up and cook for a few days."

The shadow brought by the wild boar frightened him, but he lived on the mountain for a long time, and he knew that that day was just a coincidence, and there were usually no big wild animals within two or three miles around the yard.

"It's good to be at home, I have a companion for sewing, and we can also weed grass and herd ducks together." Shen Yan was very happy.

Recently, Ji Qiuyue has a big belly and it is not easy to accompany her to the river. Shen Yaoqing and Wei Lanxiang are busy with the new house and the field work. When the ducks are released in the morning, she can only bring Dabai. She couldn't say a few words, most of which were left by herself.

"Well, let's go together." Lu Gu agreed with a smile.

Shen Xuanqing lived at home for seven or eight days, and took three dogs into the mountains every day to catch rabbits. There are fewer rabbits here than in the mountains, but you can find them if you look for them. You really got ten pairs of breeding rabbits. He didn't like the few extra ones because they weren't strong enough, so they were temporarily kept in a nest in the backyard of the old house, and the family wanted to eat them before slaughtering them.

Early this morning, he packed up his things, walked to the door and said, "Okay, go back, don't follow, I'll be down in a few days."

"En." Lu Gu nodded, stood in front of the courtyard gate and watched him go up the gentle slope, the boy turned around and called out to him a few times, as if he was a little bit reluctant, he turned back.

I am busy at home, but it is much more peaceful than on the mountain, and there are more people in the village, so I don't have to worry too much about wild beast attacks.

Lu Gu didn't know that after going up the mountain, Shen Xuanqing didn't look for any sign of deer or sheep. He dug out something wrapped in cloth from the corner of the woodshed, and when he opened it, there were three arrowheads larger than ordinary feathered arrows. Refined iron heavy arrows, only three are heavy.

I lightly touched the tip of the arrow with my fingertip, and it was still sharp after a long time of use. This was given to him by the old Orion. The heavy arrow had a strong lethality, which was good for dealing with rough skin and thick flesh like wild boar.

Shen Xuanqing spent a whole day making arrow shafts and arrow feathers, and was satisfied after trying to draw the bow several times. This kind of preparation was not enough. He took the dog to search for poisonous weeds in the mountains for half a day, crushed and pounded out half a bowl juice, dip one of the arrowheads in it.

Soaked overnight, the hemp poisonous juice dyed the arrowhead black. He wrapped his palms tightly with a cloth before he dared to wipe the arrowhead with a strip of cloth. After drying, the arrowhead reflected a strange black light under the sun. Not any good.

Wherever the poisonous weed juice touches it, it will be paralyzed, and it will take four or five days to subside. It is not a fatal poison, but it has strong properties.

Even with a heavy arrow in hand, if a male wild boar of several hundred kilograms cannot be killed with one blow, the pain will drive them mad, and their eyes will turn red when they are fierce. Both he and the dog are dangerous, and the wild boar is a vengeful thing Well, that male wild boar is not small at first glance. If he really holds a grudge, it will be extremely dangerous to attack him when he is not prepared in the future. It is better for him to strike first.

Although it has been almost ten days, the male wild boar may have wandered somewhere, but since it has been hunting all the way here, there are no other male wild boars nearby, it is very likely that this place will be enclosed as its territory, as long as it is patient Go for it, and you will find it.
