Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 405
When the mountain people in the village saw the strong bull carrying a big wild boar back, they shouted happily, and even the sleeping children ran out.

A group of people surround the wild boar.

"Don't even look at it, hurry up and light a fire and boil water." Strong Niu urged the women to work.

The wild boar has half a breath left, so it needs to be slaughtered while its blood is hot. When its blood is cold, the pork tastes particularly spicy.

The mountain people lit a bonfire outside the village and boiled a pot of hot water.

Bleeding, skinning and removing internal organs is the same process as killing a pig.

The mountain people are very thrifty, and every part of the wild boar is useful. Even the pig's lungs are used to make lung noodles.

After the pig lungs are cleaned, the women pour corn flour and seasoning into the pig lungs, then boil them in a pot. After they are cooked, they hang them on a wooden rack to control water and dry them in the sun. After they are dried, they can be stored for a long time.

As for the pig's heart, pig's head, and pig's guts, they were used to the extreme by the mountain people, without any waste.

Li Hongbing asked the wolfdogs to bring the hares and pheasants they hunted to the village. There were a lot of these in the refrigerator at home. The animals were often hunted in the meadow and sent to the old house.

Moreover, the meat quality and taste of wild animals that contain the grass of the original power are far more delicious than these ordinary wild animals.

"Red Soldier, why don't you stay in the village? I think you are very suitable to be a mountain man."

Shan Ye saw the wild things all over the ground and deliberately joked.

The eyes of the mountain people nearby lit up, looking forward to Li Hongbing. There were wolves, dogs and tigers. It would be a pity not to hunt with the mountain people.

"Okay, Shan Xing and I will stay here and let dad go back to the village tomorrow." Li Hongbing deliberately followed Shan Ye's words.

Dad was startled and quickly interrupted.

"That won't work. You stay in Qinglong Village. What to do on the 28th? Whoever gets married, invitations to relatives and friends have been sent out!"

"You and Mom can get married again. Anyway, Mom keeps saying that marrying you is shabby." Li Hongbing teased with a smile.

The father screamed angrily, and finally scolded Li Hongbing angrily.

The mountain people laughed loudly.

Everyone knows that Li Hongbing cannot stay in Qinglong Village. After all, Qinglong Village is too poor. Tigers are good at hunting and have a big belly when eating. The village really cannot afford to support him.

I made a fuss and laughed.

It's time to get down to business.

Li Hongbing supported Shan Ye and walked to the hillside in front of the village. The bright moonlight cast a layer of white frost, and stones were scattered all over the slope.

"Dad, Brother Zhuangniu and I picked some fruit trees in the mountains. Tomorrow we will ask everyone to dig them out and plant them on this hillside."

"Okay!" Master Shan agreed without hesitation at all.

The quick answer made Li Hongbing confused. He prepared a bunch of excuses and didn't use them. It felt like he had eaten too much and had a suffocating feeling in his stomach that he couldn't let go.

"Dad, don't ask why you plant fruit trees."

Master Shan's old face showed a kind smile, looking at his depressed nephew.

"Back then, your father watched the stars at night and said that the old Li family wanted to have a capable person. When he saw that you had done a good job in Caogou Village, he knew that you would do things right."

"!!!"

Feudal superstition, I still have a white one at home!

Li Hongbing still asked unwillingly, "What if it's wrong!"

"If you're wrong, you're wrong. Don't worry!" Shan Ye boldly convinced Li Hongbing that if Shan Ye had been born 30 years earlier, he would definitely be a Liangshan hero.

"To be honest, those fruit trees are all money-making trees that I specially selected and planted in Qinglong Village. From now on, the village will not have to go into the mountains to hunt. Just selling the fruits can make everyone live a good life."

"Okay, I'll thank you on behalf of the people in the village!" After saying this, Master Shan was about to hand over his hand. Li Hongbing was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly, saying that it was a slap in the face.

After the uproar of joy, the bonfire went out.

Qinglong Village has returned to tranquility. The mountain breeze blows through the village, and occasionally a few night birds can be heard chirping, which is a leisurely aftertaste.

early morning.

The first ray of morning sunlight came and shone on the highland stone tomb, making the tombstone sparkle.

Li Hongbing, who walked out of the stone house, looked at the tombstone and remembered a passage he had read.

The sun embraces the earth with its warm arms, and the earth nourishes the seeds with flowing blood.

The wheat grains sprouted.

Rapeseed sprouted.

Hope sprouted in people's hearts.

Had breakfast.

The three members of the Li family once again placed incense on the stone tomb, burned paper, and prepared to return.

Mr. Shan rarely took off his leggings and put on a new coat. Although the style of the clothes was very old-fashioned, at least it was the style from 30 years ago, and it was a good Mao suit.

However, when Mr. Shan puts it on, he looks a bit like a veteran cadre.

"Why, this dress doesn't fit?" Mr. Shan probably rarely wears this dress, and he feels uncomfortable all over, as if there is a bug crawling around in his clothes.

"No, no, he's very handsome!" Li Hongbing quickly denied it and turned to Shan Xing and said, "Myolie, is daddy handsome?"

"Handsome!" Shan Xing nodded with a smile.

"Nonsense!" Although Mr. Shan didn't know what handsome meant, he guessed that it meant good-looking, so he said shyly, "Your grandfather bought this dress for me when I got married."

Ugh!
Why are you back again!

Li Hongbing felt sorry for his eldest father who had stayed in Qinglong Village all his youth. He quickly changed the subject and watched the strong cow and the two young men carrying the heavy mahogany box.

"Dad, what kind of good thing is this? Let me see it?"

"You can't look at it. This is my dowry for Xing'er." Master Shan smiled mysteriously.

Gee!

Li Hongbing deliberately pretended to be jealous.

"You're stingy. Your nephew doesn't have anything for his wedding, but Xing'er only has a box of dowry."

"Who says there is nothing? You can get everything in your master's study!"

Master Shan raised his hand and patted Li Hongbing's head gently.

Li Hongbing suddenly realized.

It turns out that the acupuncture points, medical skills, and samurai swords were specially left for him by Master Shan.

"If you go down the mountain, you won't be able to catch lunch if you're late."

Seeing his nephew's expression, Master Shan smiled and turned towards the village gate.

Walking along the dirt road of the village towards the foot of the mountain, you can see that mountain people are already digging holes and planting trees on the hillside.

"Uncle, eat dates, these dates are so sweet!" Daya jumped up to Li Hongbing and raised a branch covered with wild dates in her hand.

"Okay!" Li Hongbing picked off a half-red and half-green jujube and threw it into his mouth.

Crisp and delicate, the special fragrance of wild jujube lingers on the tip of the tongue. The only drawback is that it is sweet and slightly sour.

This shortcoming is nothing, after all, the original power was poured in last night, and the taste will be different in a few days.

"Master Shan, try it!" Li Hongbing picked a few jujubes and handed them over.

What are the benefits of jujube?

After eating it for decades, it still tastes the same.

Shan Ye casually took the mountain dates and threw them into his mouth, chewed them a few times, and his expression suddenly changed.

This is not your usual wild jujube.

Usually, wild jujubes are sweet but astringent, leaving a bit of residue in your mouth.

"Da Ya, where did these dates come from?"

"Master Shan, my mother dug it out from the forest in the morning. There are also walnut trees and chestnut trees." Daya turned and pointed to the hillside, where a fruit tree had been planted.

"Red soldier, this is the money tree you called", Shan Ye suddenly turned his head to look at his nephew with a smile on his face, and then walked quickly towards the hillside.

The men and women in the village laboriously dug holes in the rocky soil, then carelessly buried the fruit trees in the holes and ignored them.

Master Shan walked to a hairy chestnut tree. Green hairy chestnuts that looked like hedgehogs fell on the ground. They must have been shaken down with too much force when the tree was planted.

He stepped on a green chestnut with his foot and rubbed it gently. The green thorn shell was rubbed open, revealing several brown chestnuts.

Mr. Shan didn't mind being dirty either, so he picked up the chestnuts and threw them into his mouth.

With a click, Old Ya bit open the chestnut shell.The chestnut meat melts in your mouth, and is glutinous and sweet. It just has a little more moisture. If it is dried, it will taste better.

这 是
Master Shan was stunned at this moment. He lowered his head and stepped on a few more green chestnuts. All the chestnuts had the same taste, which was completely different from the bland taste he had tasted before.

correct!

And walnuts.

Mr. Shan stumbled to the newly planted walnut tree, opened a green-skinned walnut with his hands, pried open the shell, scooped out the white pulp and put it into his mouth.

The aroma of walnuts fills the mouth, crisp and sweet.

This this this.
Shanye trembled as he looked at the people in the village, planting fruit trees with rough hands and feet, and the fruits falling all over the ground, and his heart ached.

"Stop, stop, stop planting."

"Bangchui, if you dare to shake the tree again, I will beat you to death."

"Sanhua, stop cutting branches!"

"Tudan, please give me a light touch on the tree, put it down, put it down quickly."

The villagers planting trees stopped their work one after another and looked at Shan Ye who was shouting.

Isn't it just planting a tree that can withstand shouting so loudly?

How can you plant without cutting down the branches?

Master Shan, no matter what they think, if you can keep a fruit now, it is just a fruit, and when it is ripe, it will be money!
"I'm telling you, these are all money trees. The money trees in Qinglong Village, stand up and roll over here!"

A middle-aged man among the villagers came over shirtless and asked in confusion.

"Master Shan, what's wrong!"

"Eat it." Shan Ye didn't answer and just handed over the walnuts in his hand.

It's just walnuts. What's the point of eating them? If you eat too much, you won't be able to poop.

Li Gen didn't understand why, and ended up throwing the walnut shell and meat into his mouth.

Cack and crash.

Break the shell with your teeth and eat the pulp inside.

Ligen was stunned, frowning and looking down at the walnuts scattered on the ground.

"Master Shan, is it the fruit that fell on the ground?"

"Hey, if you don't believe it, just open another one and eat it."

Li Gen immediately picked up a walnut, broke open the shell, and singled out the pulp this time. His expression slowly changed as he chewed it.

"This walnut?"

"Go and eat chestnuts and wild jujubes, you are a prodigal!" Mr. Shan looked distressed.

Li Gen quickly ran to the fruit tree and picked up chestnuts and dates. After tasting them one by one, he looked as distressed as Mr. Shan.

A loser!
What a delicious fruit. Once ripe and dried, you can buy it in town and exchange it for a lot of food.

Other mountain people also picked up the fruits and couldn't believe it after eating them.

This is a wild fruit that they usually throw on the ground and are too lazy to pick up.

"You know why I shouted!" Mr. Shan raised his finger and pointed at Li Hongbing.

"The red soldiers said that your life is hard, and you go into the mountains at night to look for money trees. With these money trees, our village will not have to suffer poverty."

brush!
All the mountain people looked at Li Hongbing with excitement and gratitude.

Li Hongbing scratched his head in embarrassment.

"It's nothing but a few trees. You can collect the fruits from now on and I'll ask someone to come and collect them. The price will be guaranteed to be high. In the future, children can also be sent to Caogou Village Primary School. The school will take care of food, food and housing without charging any money."

go to school!

I can still go to school.

Da Ya's eyes gradually turned red, and the jujubes in her mouth seemed to be sweeter.

Someone among the mountain people shouted excitedly, and other mountain people also shouted, rushed to Li Hongbing, and regardless of whether they wanted to or not, directly lifted him up, threw him into the air, dropped him, and continued to throw him.

Get out of Qinglong Mountain.

Black Wind and the horse pulling the cart were guarding the roadside.

Seeing Li Hongbing appear, Heifeng shook his nose angrily.

Blame him for leaving him alone in the mountains and forests.

What if there are wolves?
Woohoo!

Dahua and the wolfhounds growled dissatisfied.

What happened to the wolf?
A wolf can beat you, but you're not enough to bully everyone in the barn!

The wolfdog and Heifeng squirted at each other, and Jin Jin jumped on the carriage tiredly. You can argue as much as you like, you will be exhausted!

I can't eat well, sleep well, and can't brush my teeth!
Who can bear this day!
A group of mountain people looked at the scolding animals and said that the wild animals had become spirits.

The journey back is quick.

The carriage pulled a group of people and chased after Hei Feng.

Li Hongbing was riding on Heifeng's back, holding Shan Xing in his arms. His long black hair fluttered in the wind, brushing against Li Hongbing's face.

Dahua and her younger brothers and sisters followed Heifeng.

In the carriage, Mr. Shan looked at the talented man and woman on the horse in front of him, turned his head and said to his father.

"Red Soldier is a good boy. I have told you before that you should not have taken him back to the city in the first place and wasted him for so many years."

Correct!
Blame me!
Dad rolled his eyes and was about to retaliate when suddenly a wave of nausea surged into his throat and he hurriedly lay down beside the carriage.

Vomit! Vomit!
Run all the way and vomit all the way.

The motion-sick father vowed never to ride in a carriage again, and if he did again, he would take the surname Li Hongbing.

It was just noon when we rushed back to Caogou Village.

At this time, there were very few tourists in the village, only a few or two.

Tourists who haven't arrived yet know that the village has something to do and want to participate, but they are refused with a smile.

Finally home!
Hei Feng stopped at the door of the old house and ran for a long time, sweating all over his body and breathing heavily from his nostrils.

Likewise, you, the red soldier, suffered a lot.

Even an iron man can't bear the burden of holding a mountain apricot when riding a horse. Fortunately, I put on a saddle before leaving. If I rode bareback for such a long time, my hemorrhoids would break out.

I woke up Shan Xing who was sleeping in my arms and carefully put it on the ground.

"Brother, why don't you come down." Shan Xing asked sleepily.

"Help me, my legs are numb!" Li Hongbing struggled to support the saddle and move his unconscious legs.

When he landed, Li Hongbing felt dizzy and quickly pressed the Mingmen point.

Riding a horse shows that the blood is not flowing smoothly, and you are also a scorpion, and you are the only one.

"Brother, are you okay?" Shan Xing supported Li Hongbing with a worried look on his face.

"Myolie, have you grown taller?"

Li Hongbing looked up at Shan Xing sideways. Can he still grow taller in his 30s?
puff!

Shan Xing couldn't help laughing, her branches trembling, "Brother, look at yourself!"

What happened to me?
What are you laughing laughing.

Li Hongbing looked down at himself, squatting with two legs in a horse stance, just like when riding a horse.

"Heifeng, look at the good things you have done!!"

Boom!

Blame me!
Use me in front, don’t use me in the back.

Black Wind snorted, turned around and ran towards the barn.

"Myolie, help me!" Li Hongbing walked pitifully into the courtyard door with a wriggling step.
