Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 162 Just don’t die of Dong Qing

The loudspeaker smacked his yellow teeth and said cheerfully: "That's not a bad idea! I'll just go around a little bit if I'm thinking about it. That kid in my family just wants to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms."

These days, I am living the life of an emperor at home. My wife serves me all day long and takes care of me...

Oh, don’t mention how comfortable it is! "

Xu Ning laughed when Big Speaker mentioned his wife. His wife is a standard snobbery. If Huang Big Speaker goes around to pay for money or doesn't take anything from home for three or two days, his wife must not have a good face. If he makes some money every now and then, Or take something home, and his wife has to serve her master like a maid.

So the two of them often fought. Once the fight was over, Big Horn's legs and feet would always be diligent, running straight into the mountains, carrying the animals and dragging them home. His wife would definitely admit her mistake in a gentle voice and show her concern.

Of course, this is the habit of getting along with Da Xiaoxiao and his wife. They don't have any relations with Xu Ning and the others, they just have fun.

Then Big Speaker and Xu Ning boasted about how his wife behaved after he slapped the money on the kang...

Li Fuqiang felt a lot after hearing this. He suddenly remembered Yang Shuhua's watery eyes and stains when he washed Yang Shuhua's feet that night. It was really refreshing!

The four of them parted at the fork in the road. Li Fuqiang did not go to Lao Xu's house, but went back home directly. Apparently, he wanted to take advantage of the fact that the two cubs were not at home to have a good time with Yang Shuhua.

After Xu Ning and Wang Hu returned to Xu's house, they put away pine cones, hazelnuts, and walnuts in the east room. These three items had to be treated with water before they could be put into the pot to stir-fry the gravel soil. The heat must be controlled. Otherwise, if the heat is too high, it will be fried and burnt.

Wang Shujuan entered the room and looked at the two people picking up the pine cone, and asked, "Er Ning, are you able to use your hands?"

Xu Ning raised his head: "Okay, how many days have it been? What are you two doing, mom?"

"I'm not sure what to do. There's dinner ready for dinner. What do you want to eat?"

"I don't have anything to eat. How about frying hazelnuts and pine nuts in the pot in my house tonight? I'll have some when I have nothing to do."

"That's okay. The two of you have to go downstairs and dig up the gravel. I remember I put it in a flour bag in the house after frying it last year."

"I'll look for it later."

In response, Wang Shujuan went out to get firewood. Although there was ready-made food in the evening, the kang in the house had to be burned.

After the two of them had finished picking out the pine nuts and Wang Hu had crossed the water, Xu Ning went to the lower room to look for gravel.

At this time, Xiaodeng Xu Feng came back wearing a cloth bag. When she saw that the house was deserted, she shouted twice, making Liu Lizhen scold her. When she was about to kick her, Xu Feng acted strangely. He hid behind Xu Ning.

"Second brother, take care of our mother, she always wants to hurt me."

Xu Ning picked up the gravel and said, "Don't you owe it to me? You're not honest at all. Hurry up and do your homework!"

"Hey, the teacher didn't leave any homework, so he asked me to write an essay."

This composition is a diary, unlike later generations who would write about the death of a red rabbit or how a crow drinks water.

"Second brother, this... oh my god! Why are you playing with these old hazelnuts and pine nuts, haha..."

When Liu Lizhen heard her shouting, she turned around and kicked her, "What do you keep shouting for? This shock made my heart skip a beat!"

"Hey, aren't I happy? Then Li Tong has been bragging these past two days, saying that her father is doing something wrong on the mountain, which makes us mad. Oh my god, are you going to fire tonight? I'll go to school tomorrow. Make her mad!"

Xu Ning frowned. This Li Tong was none other than the daughter of Li San's eldest son.

"Take her away, I'll cause trouble." After Liu Lizhen said that, she ignored her and went to add firewood to the stove pit.

Xu Feng ran to Wang Hu and reached out to grab two hazelnuts.

"Feng, what did Li Tong say?"

Xu Feng didn't even raise her head and replied: "Her father said that there were a lot of jumping cats and pheasants on the mountain. The former one even ate roe deer and brought things to her second aunt's two brothers. He was always good at it." Blow it..."

Li Tong's second aunt is naturally the daughter-in-law of her second uncle Li Feng, Chang Lihong, the biological sister of the Chang brothers. They have been married for many years and have quite an eldest child.

Wang Hu heard her words and looked up at Xu Ning, "Second brother, Li San ate the whole roe deer."

"Yes, I know." Xu Ning nodded solemnly.

Xu Feng didn't think much about it. A child can't be that serious. At most, he's just a little naughty. She approached Xu Ning and said with a smile: "Second brother, when will our family eat roe deer?"

Liu Lizhen grinded her teeth and said, "How do you know how to eat? I don't know who to follow, so hurry up and do your homework! Don't make me say it a second time!"

"Hey, I know." Xu Feng pouted, unpacked her cloth bag and went to the west room.

As Xu Ning sifted the gravel, he thought about Li San. He thought that this old Bideng was not a real person. Xu Ning had just finished cutting Li San's family home with his front feet in the mountain, and Li San's back feet were stolen by his roe deer.

"Second brother, shall we go find him?"

Xu Ning shook his head: "How can we find out about this? Everyone has eaten it. Who can admit it without catching it? Let's calm down for a while."

"Brother Qiang will definitely not be able to control himself if he puts this aside."

"Then you have to control it. That's not how things work. Can impulsiveness solve the problem? Aren't you quite honest? Why do you still want to cause trouble? How did you learn from me recently? You don't have much energy!"

Wang Hu bared his teeth and said happily: "I was thinking of letting go of your previous temper, which already blocked the door of his house. So let's block the door of the Chang brothers last time..."

Xu Ning said: "That was just to catch the current situation. This time the nature is different. You have to rely on your brain to do things. Don't always fight and kill."

"Hey, then I'll listen to you."

Liu Lizhen listened to the two people muttering nonsense, turned around and glanced at Xu Ning but said nothing.

After Xu Chunlin and others came back in the evening, Wang Hu and Wang Erli went home for dinner. Liu Lizhen didn't keep them at all. They were so close and they were both family members, so why were they so polite?

After finishing the meal, Li Fuqiang and Yang Shuhua led Jin Yumantang over to chat. Wang Shujuan had just finished frying the hazelnuts and pine nuts, and they were still hot on the enamel plate.

While everyone was eating and chatting, Xu Ning was playing with the dog in the east wing, plotting with Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu.

"This matter cannot be spread. Do you know what it means to alert the enemy?"

The two of them grinned: "I know!"

"Brother, how about Ma Liu?"

"He just has a habit of being a loner and doesn't get along easily with others. He's pretty good with me. I let him eat roast venison at noon that day."

Li Fuqiang said: "This old man is not living a good life. That day I saw him wearing a bearskin and a deer hat. It seemed like he was tending animals in the mountains."

"Well, let's just take a walk when we have nothing to do. There's someone in his cellar."

"Then he can kill the Black Blind Man with just one shot of a gun? That's pretty impressive."

"I have some clues. I have to go there in two days. He is very familiar with our mountains. It won't make any difference if he gets close to each other more often."

Wang Hu said: "Second brother, the loudspeaker said there are roe deer traces behind Shuangfengling. Shall we go take a look tomorrow?" "Well, don't have any expectations. Let's just take a walk."

When they left, they carried pine nuts and hazelnuts. Xu Ning went into the house to chat with Mr. Xu, and then went back to feed the dog some meat sticks.

Now Hualang and Duyan knew that bear meat was fun. They saw Xu Ning holding the meat pick in his hand and pounced on it. The three black dogs were a little worse, but they had quite explosive personalities. Seeing Xu Ning, they only fed Hualang and Duyan. , jumping up and down and screaming in anger.

Xu Ning thought that after waiting for a while, he would give them a try in the yard. Hunting dogs should be kept from a young age. When they are half grown, it would be much easier to put them in the mountains.

Xu Ning, Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu ran for two consecutive days in the mountains, covering forty to fifty miles every day. They only saw the old tracks of roe deer and deer, but no new tracks near Shuangfengling. They probably went to the top of the big bald man. .

However, they were looking at two groups of frozen green parasitic on two elm and birch trees in the mountains. This frozen green can dispel rheumatism, nourish the liver and kidneys, strengthen muscles and bones, and prevent pregnancy. It is mainly parasitic on elm, oak, birch and other trees. superior.

Wang Hu climbed up a tree and picked two balls of frozen green leaves. There were no fruits on them, and even if there were any, they were eaten by birds.

After returning home to take care of things for a while, Liu Lizhen told her to keep some for Wang Shujuan as a spare, maybe she would be pregnant next year.

After resting at home for two days, Xu Ning, Li Fuqiang, and Wang Hu went for a mountain run again. This time they didn't get away. On the way to Baishilizi, they encountered a nest of wild boars. The three of them shot two guns, leaving three behind. The battle line stretched for more than a mile. Because the wild boar was injured and fled, the three of them followed behind for a while.

The total of these three pigs is less than 500 kilograms, and they are all old sows and yellow-haired pigs of nearly 200 kilograms.

But it was already past six-thirty when the three of them returned home that day. Since the journey was far, the three of them put the cage on the fire to roast some meat.

When he got home, Xu Laowen stood next to Xu Ning and muttered: "Hey, some people don't like to get up early and stay late at night, Zizhen, why do you come back in the dark..."

Before Xu Ning could say anything, his mother scolded him so much that Xu Ning immediately shrank back and went back to the house.

The Li and Wang families divided the head of the bear, and the old sow left half of the bear to eat in the open air. She cut some meat from the remaining half and gave some bear meat to Meng Laizi.

Meng Laizi was at home, so Xu Ning went into the room and sat for a while. At this time, I am no longer afraid of others gossiping. After all, the master is staying at home, so it is convenient to invite guests.

But Meng Ziyan didn't stay home. She and Liu Fenfang went to her grandma's house. I heard that her grandma was not in good health, so she took the opportunity to take a look before the new year. Maybe she would be tired after the new year.

After noon, Xu Ning put the remaining two bear paws, thirty kilograms of bear meat, a yellow hair and two cans of bear oil on a small sledge and dragged them to Yu Kaihe's house.

Yu Kaihe was very happy. He originally thought that Xu Ning would come back from Wangxing and forget what he had asked him to do, but he didn't expect Xu Ning to remember it clearly!

Xu Ning told him that if he brought back some meat before the end of the year, even if he couldn't get roe deer or deer, he could get him some more pork, some pheasants, and some dancing cats, which would be enough for him to entertain his uncle. Yes.

Before he left home, Yu Kaihe stuffed 50 yuan directly into his pocket. Xu Ning didn't break up with him. This matter had been agreed upon a long time ago, and tearing it back and forth seemed too fake.

December 12nd, November 22th in the lunar calendar, is the winter solstice.

On this day, the four ladies from the Xu, Wang, Li, and Liu families gathered together to figure out what fillings to make in the dumplings, and finally settled on three kinds of fillings: radish vermicelli, pickled cabbage with oil, and cabbage with bear meat, all of which had to be made with bear oil. After making stuffing and ordering a few hot and cold dishes, we started working in the outhouse.

Wang Hu and Li Fuqiang went to Nanshan for a walk, while Xu Ning put some of the wax-frozen dumplings her mother and the others had made earlier in the jar in the house, picked up two pieces of bear meat, and went to Lao Liu's house to weigh ten pounds. wine, and picked up five kilograms of cakes.

Xu Ning's idea was that since Ma Liulian even told him where to put it, he definitely couldn't be too stingy. We are all in love with each other, so we must keep the same.

Although Xu Ning didn't go for a walk in Dapiwo, he knew that Ma Liu, an old man, couldn't make up lies. He must have looked carefully before he dared to say anything. Otherwise, why would he be so careless at such an old age?

Besides, his personality is similar to that of Chai Bing. They are both sexual lovers, so there is no way he could lie about this matter.

As soon as he arrived near the cellar, Xu Ning saw Ma Liu chopping firewood. Ma Liu turned around and looked up and saw him and immediately smiled.

Ma Liu was not polite, he grabbed the wine in Xu Ning's hand and muttered: "How can I weigh ten pounds this time?"

"It's the winter solstice this year. Why, are you waiting in the mountains?"

"Damn you, I don't know about the winter solstice. What kind of fun is this?"

"My mother made dumplings stuffed with cabbage and two pounds of bear meat."

Ma Liu looked at the dumplings and other things, feeling quite uncomfortable.

He had been accustomed to being carefree for more than ten years, but now Xu Ning blocked his way, almost making him cry.

But Ma Liu definitely couldn't reveal his thoughts to others, so after letting Xu Ning enter the room, he made some acanthus and tea, then poured a bowl of wine and drank it himself.

"I walk that set of yours three times a day, but I don't see any new signs of roe deer nearby. It will take a while."

Xu Ning said with a smile: "Three walks, ah, one walk is enough. I don't know what's going on these days. I can't see anything when I go into the mountains, and I run in vain several times."

"Don't talk about you. I've been walking around in the mountains all day and haven't found anything to do. It's getting colder and colder and the animals don't like to move."

"I can't be prepared."

Ma Liu sipped his wine and said, "Have you gone to Baishilizi?"

"No, I don't have time. Didn't I just take a job, fetching cattle for others? I haven't been sick these days."

"Why are you so anxious? What does he want? If I want it, you can take it back."

"No need, he is the envoy for the Chinese New Year. There are still about forty days before the Chinese New Year. He can deal with them in any way."

Ma Liu looked at him and nodded, thinking to himself: This guy is quite determined. Can he withstand such a big temptation as Dapi? There are really two brushes.

"Last time you came here, I didn't ask you, what would happen if Li San was really caught stealing roe deer?"

Xu Ning lowered his head and smiled: "Uncle, how is your physical strength?"

"It's all about having fun. I walk twenty miles all day long and don't do anything. What do you mean?"

Xu Ning narrowed his eyes and said, "If you catch Li San stealing a roe deer, how about driving him to Qing'an and yelling when you enter the village?"

"Oh shit, you are such a loser! Then why do I still want to tease him?"

"Come on! Just don't worry about it. I'll take care of the rest."

"Fuck, he framed me, why did I blame him..."

Ma Liu seemed not to have heard clearly. When he thought about it, he grinned and said: "You kid... I just said that we are two rivals! There is nothing, you don't need to do it. I am the boss and he can do whatever he wants. Okay, I don’t look down on this kind of person, Marde, back then... eh, I could pull him down."

Ma Liu shook his head, no longer thinking about the past, "Boy, you eat this for lunch, I'll eat some potatoes or something."

"Okay, you can cook some dumplings for yourself in the evening."

Ma Liu nodded: "Well, that's it."
