Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 295
It was dark early in the forest area, and it was already dark after seven o'clock.

The bright moonlight shines on the meadow, the sky and the earth are quiet, the evening breeze blows gently, the grass waves undulate with the wind, and the water surface is shimmering.

Unfortunately, now is not a good time to enjoy the scenery.

Li Hongbing followed closely behind the wolf dogs and the pack of dogs, but the colorful rooster that was sprinting and cooling down was squatting on the silly boy's shoulder, feeling very comfortable and comfortable.

can't you
Let's join in the excitement, let's stop now!

Just when Li Hongbing complained maliciously, he suddenly realized that he had no right to complain about the colorful rooster, which was squatting comfortably on the silly boy's shoulder.

In the end, the fool is still himself!
As the team ran farther and farther, Li Hongbing suddenly found that he had entered the depths of the meadow, and further ahead was Wuya Ridge.

Ooooooo!
Wang Wang Wang!
Dahua and the group of dogs stopped suddenly and formed a circle.

found it?
Li Hongbing rushed in excitedly, ready to clean up Erhei first, and when he walked into the enclosure, he found only a grass nest flattened by animals, and leaned over to pick up a hair from the grass blade.

Black with a smooth surface.

This is Erhei's hair, did it rest here?
Li Hongbing's heart became empty, and he looked at the mountains and forests shrouded in darkness in the distance.

Dog, what the hell!
"Keep looking."

Dahua and the group of dogs ran wildly again.

Crossing Moon Lake, Crow Ridge stands like a tall wall in the night, giving people a feeling of how high the sky is and how high the mountains are.

The appearance of the dogs caused the owner of Crow Ridge to feel uneasy, and they flew into the night sky one after another, making hoarse barking noises.

"Ignore them. Keep looking." Li Hongbing was a little out of breath after running for a long time.

Dahua stopped again, raised her head, let her nose sniff the smell left by Erhei in the air.

Finding the direction, he ran towards the side of Crow Ridge, followed by the pack of dogs.

Traveling through the complicated mountain roads, climbing up the mountain for a while, and getting into the dark dense forest for a while, Li Hongbing couldn't care about other things at this time, and concentrated on using his perception to find the way, and reminded the silly boy to pay attention to his feet.

There is no end to this run.

Even the silly boy doesn't know where he is now, there are forests everywhere anyway.

The dense canopy covered the moonlight, and the forest was pitch black. Occasionally, moonlight passed through the branches and leaves, and fell in pieces.

Damn!

I walked in a hurry, forgot to take my mobile phone, and didn't know what time it was.

Just when Li Hongbing was a little anxious.

suddenly.

Woohoo! !

Da Hua raised her head and let out a distant and high-pitched wolf howl, followed by San Hui and Xiao Bai, one after another howling wolves echoed in the woods, drifting further afield.

Just when Li Hongbing was puzzled, a looming wolf howl echoed in the distance.

This is?

Erhei's voice.

Before Li Hongbing could be surprised, Dahua and the group of dogs rushed towards the sound.

Run for another half an hour.

When he came to a rocky cliff, Li Hongbing suddenly saw Erhei lying on a big rock.

A strange scene appeared, Dahua found her younger brother, but instead of going forward to meet her, she led Sanhui and Xiaobai towards the woods not far away, grinning and baring her fangs, and let out low growls.

So did the dogs when they arrived, standing in a line and barking at the woods.

Is there something there?
Li Hongbing hurriedly cast his perception over it, the perception range was only 200 meters, and he only saw the golden fur with black patterns flashing past in his mind.

That is.

tiger?

To put it bluntly, there have been no tigers in the forest area for a long time. The last time I heard tigers appeared was half a century ago, and their sizes were different.

It is smaller than a tiger, and its black pattern is a bit like a copper coin.

coins?

Could it be Qian Huzi?

Qianhuzi is the name of the forest area, the scientific name is Huabao, leopard, and the forest area is called Qianhuzi, because this animal is covered with copper coins, and its ferocity is as fierce as that of a tiger.

The environment is really better now.

Even Qian Huzi showed up, if Captain Xu was told, he would jump for joy.

Dahua frightened Qian Huzi away, and returned to Erhei, whining and worrying. The dogs were guarding the periphery, staring at the woods, and would pounce on the slightest movement.

There are so many fighting dogs around, if that Qianhuzi is not brain-dead, he should get out of here as soon as possible. If it really does, it may not survive.

Oh oh oh!
Xiaobai ran to Li Hongbing's side and groaned, bit his trouser leg and pulled towards Erhei.

What!
Erhei was injured?
Li Hongbing ran over quickly, and Erhei was lying on the stone dying, his abdomen was dripping with blood, and there were several palm-length wounds on his back where the bones were deep enough to be seen.

The injury was so severe, what did Qian Huzi do?

Sensing Erhei's fading vitality, he quickly injected the original power into his body to repair the injured body.

Ow!

Erhei opened his eyes, saw his father's face, and whimpered in pain.

Li Hongbing stroked Erhei's head distressedly, "It doesn't hurt, Dad won't quarrel with you from now on, let's go home, Shanxing's mother is still waiting for you to go back to eat."

at this time.

There was a buzzing sound from behind a stone pile on the edge of the cliff, and then a three-clawed bear cub staggered out, ran to Li Hongbing's feet, hugged his legs and cried aggrievedly, tears streaming down his face.

"Why are you here? Where's your mother?" Li Hongbing hugged the cub in surprise. He didn't leave with the mother in Zhushan, so how could he be with Erhei.

Roar!
With a bear roar, the answer was ready to come out.

Dahua and the dogs immediately surrounded Shiya.

Behind the stone pile, the mother bear staggered out, her injuries were worse than Erhei's, with wounds all over, and two bear cubs at her feet.

Li Hongbing roughly guessed the situation.

Erhei ran away from home, ran into the mountains, and met Qian Huzi hunting the mother bear, who was seriously injured while protecting the three bear cubs.Seeing Xiong Cub, Erhei stepped forward and blocked Qian Huzi, hurting himself.

"Yes, he's a man." Li Hongbing praised Erhei fiercely, and walked carefully to the mother bear with the cub in his arms, "I have no malicious intentions, and I will heal your wound."

Roar!
Mama Xiong recognized Li Hongbing as the man who saved her child, so she let down her vigilance and fell to the ground.

Hey!
The cub jumped out of Li Hongbing's arms excitedly, and ran to the mother bear, whining.

"It's okay, I'm here." Li Hongbing squatted down and poured the original power into Mama Xiong's body.

After a while, Mama Xiong opened her eyes, felt the changes in her body, and looked at Li Hongbing with more tenderness, but she was seriously injured and passed out.

Find Erhei and save Mama Xiong.

Bringing it back is a hassle.

Erhei was seriously injured, he definitely couldn't walk, so he had to carry it back, but fortunately there was a fool around, so Erhei was still fine.

But what about the mother bear who was also seriously injured, the weight of nearly three hundred catties is a bit troublesome.

"Silly boy, can you trick Mama Bear behind your back?"

"With a back frame, you can move your back." Shawa nodded.

Then Shawa collected branches and vines to make a back frame.

The back frame is also called firewood basket in the countryside, usually made of wood or bamboo, and has a tied rope or leather strap, which is convenient for the user to collect firewood, wood, grain and other sundries in the distance.

The shape of the firewood basket is similar to a rectangular frame, which can hold a large amount of sundries, such as firewood, branches, forage, etc. Generally, rural people can easily carry a hundred catties on their backs, and those with strong strength can carry three to four hundred catties.

Every year during the rice harvest season, the rice needs to be transported home after being bagged. The biggest drawback in the countryside is that the roads are narrow, and the trails in the rice fields are even smaller. carry out.

The weight of rice filled in sacks is as high as 150 catties, and the rice harvest season is busy with farming, so everyone is too busy.

Therefore, in order to save time, I would choose to carry 2 bags on the back frame. In other words, I carried 300 catties at one time. The emphasis here is: this is the most normal and common, and most rural people have this ability.

But according to the stories of the older generation in rural areas, the best of them can carry about 400 catties on their backs and walk for tens of miles, even on mountain roads without too much difficulty.

What's more, when Li Hongbing was a child, he heard that there was a great man in another village. He would not get drunk after drinking, and he would not be tired after working. He could easily carry 600 catties. Tired.

Li Hongbing ran back to ask his grandfather, and his grandfather only said that he was born with extraordinary talent and was born at an untimely time.

But now in rural areas, let alone carrying 400 catties of grain, it is rare to be able to carry 200 catties.

To sum it up, the conditions in the past were difficult, and people's strength was forced out bit by bit.In the past, the conditions were poor, and mechanization was not popularized. Everything had to be resisted by the most primitive force—manpower.

And the old people often say: "The children of the poor were back in the day." At that time, people had to start doing farm work when they were very young. Children did some simple tasks without much energy, such as carrying water, chopping firewood, picking firewood, etc. Cut pig grass, herd cattle, etc.

Because I started exercising since I was a child, my physical fitness has been continuously exercised, and my physical fitness has continued to increase, and my strength has become stronger and stronger over time.

Rural children are fine, barely retaining the tradition of exercising, but urban children are no good. There are endless training classes and interest classes every day, and there are many young people who wear glasses, as well as mobile phones, tablets, computers and various electronic products.

Why didn't Li Hongbing keep Anna in the city? In terms of conditions, the city is much better than Caogou Village, but Li Hongbing just wants Anna to enjoy a happy childhood, enjoy rural life, and enjoy the carefree nature.

Pick buds in spring, catch toads in summer, steal sweet potatoes in autumn, and have snowball fights in winter.

Two backs are done.

Shawa carried Mama Xiong on his back, and Erhei on Li Hongbing's back. Dahua opened the way ahead, and the dogs scattered around to protect them, barking from time to time to warn predators hidden in the night.

Wait until Li Hongbing and his party leave Shiya.

A leopard walked out of the dark and gloomy forest. If you ignore the blood stains at the corners of its mouth and fierce eyes, it is a beautiful, elegant and noble animal.

Chirp!Chirp!
Birds screamed in the forest, and then two little leopards stumbled out, and the big leopard turned its head and let out a motorcycle-like roar from its throat.

The two little leopards hid in the darkness again, while the big leopard walked out of the forest cautiously, circled around the cliff, and jumped into a hidden rock crevice in the middle of the cliff.

If Li Hongbing saw this scene, he would understand.

It wasn't Qian Huzi who hunted Mama Xiong's family, but Mama Xiong's family ran to the door of Qian Huzi's house. It's no wonder they didn't get mad.

Walking out of the mountains, the moon has risen overhead.

Both humans and animals are exhausted.

Back at the old house, under the yellowish light at the gate of the yard, a figure looked anxiously at the meadow, squatting at the feet of the princess and two cardboard boxes.

Cuckoo!
The two cartons were the first to spot Li Hongbing and his party, and they shouted happily.

"What are you doing standing at the door? It's very cold outside." Li Hongbing frowned and looked at Shan Xing who came up to him.

"Did you find Erhei?" Shan Xing lowered her head to look for Erhei among the dogs.

Ow!

A weak growl sounded from behind Li Hongbing.

"I found it. In order to protect Xiong Cub's family, he was bitten by Qian Huzi. He is a good boy."

Qian Huzi?
I haven't heard about how there are rich tigers in the forest area for many years.

Shan Xing quickly walked around behind Li Hongbing to check Erhei's injuries.

Seeing that the benefactor arrived home safely, the dog group quietly returned to the dog shed.

Back to the yard.

Shan Xing found the quilt, made a bed next to the bed in the bedroom, carefully put Er Hei into the quilt, it seemed that she was going to take care of it by her side.

"Then what?" Li Hongbing hesitated for a moment, then greeted the busy Shan Xing, "We have guests at home."

Visitors in the middle of the night?

Shan Xing looked dazed, and when she was pulled out of the bedroom by Li Hongbing, she saw a black bear lying on the paddy field.

Bear blind!
A blind bear has entered the house!
Shan Xing was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she dragged Li Hongbing to run into the main room, but was dragged back to the original place by Li Hongbing.

"Don't be afraid, take a good look, this is the mother of the bear cub, we met in Zhushan."

Mama Cub?

Shan Xing walked down the steps in fear, and looked at the blind Xiong lying on the ground through the light.

Xiong Xiazi looks the same at night, to be honest, Shan Xing really didn't see it.

At this moment, a yawning bear cub emerged from under Xiong Blind's body, rubbed his eyes with his one arm, and looked around blankly.

Until the moment I saw Shanxing.

Hey!
The one-armed bear cub shouted excitedly, stumbled and plunged into Shan Xing's arms.

Now, Shanxing can be sure that it is the bear mother who took the bear cubs away in Zhushan, but how could they come back with Brother Hongbing.

"We followed Erhei's scent into the mountains. Erhei met Qian Huzi hunting Mama Xiong's family and offered to help. We met together and brought them back to recuperate." Li Hongbing went to Shanxing and told the story.

Shan Xing immediately gave someone a sideways glance, "Erhei is such a good boy, what's wrong with stealing chickens and dogs, the eggs belong to our family, how can they be called stealing, if you quarrel with them again, don't go back to sleep in the future."

"Yes, yes, you are right!" What else could Li Hongbing say, he could only helplessly look at the night sky, and shouted angrily in his heart: What a loving mother!
Mama Xiong's family is temporarily settled in the warehouse.

After the tossing was over, a trace of white light had already appeared in the sky.

Li Hongbing was so depressed that he didn't sleep all night.

It's too late to go back to sleep, and I'm going to the grassland to collect vegetables. Today is the first day of the Oak Tree vegetables market, so I can't be careless.

The cold well water hit the face, dispelling the slightly dazed head.

Li Hongbing took a deep breath, shook his feet, and walked to the kitchen, served boiled water to cool steamed buns with the silly boy, filled his stomach whole, and set off to the vegetable field on a three-wheeled motorcycle.

At this time, the vegetable field is already busy.

Uncle Yandai, Uncle Mifu, Aunt Jinhua and the old people in the village stacked the picked vegetables neatly on the ridge of the field.

When Li Hongbing arrived, he didn't bother to greet him, so he rolled up his sleeves and joined the harvesting team.

Shawa loads the harvested vegetables onto the tricycle, and when it is full, it drives towards Chaotianyan without stopping.
