Return to 1983: Starting from hunting in the mountains

Chapter 177 Dad, Tangtang also wants to ride a donkey

This mountain donkey is not big in size, but it has a stubborn temperament.

Liu Shengli pulled the donkey forward tightly, but the donkey kept crying and pulling back.

The man and the donkey were in a stalemate.

"Brother Shengli, let me do it. You help me hold the sack and the gun." Lu Erniu rubbed his hands excitedly.

"Okay! This little beast is quite strong. If Brother Jiansheng hadn't said so, I would have skinned it alive."

Lu Erniu took the rope from Liu Shengli.

I pulled it forward with all my strength, and the donkey staggered and almost fell to the ground.

This shows how strong Lu Erniu is.

Lu Erniu just pulled the rope and dragged the donkey forward. After a while,
I don’t know if the donkey had no strength left, or if it knew it couldn’t escape even if it resisted, so it slowly stopped resisting.

He let Lu Erniu lead him, without running or struggling, and just followed him obediently.

"Erniu, you are really something."

Lu Jiansheng and Liu Shengli couldn't help but smile and praise.

"Hehe~ I'm just strong."

Lu Erniu touched his head naively.

This time, when they set the trap, they were thinking of catching some pheasants and rabbits, but they didn't expect to catch a mountain donkey. The three of them were very happy.

Then the three of them continued to the hazel forest they had been in before.
In order to catch this mountain donkey, there are still five trap sets left to collect.

These five traps were set up yesterday by Lu Jiansheng and his two companions on a hillside.

You should know that traps are not set randomly. They should generally be set in places where prey are likely to appear.
Like what Lu Jiansheng arranged this time, almost all of them were located near mountain springs, or where there were obvious signs of animal activities, animal feces, etc.

There is a lot of sparse grass on the hillside in front of us, and it is obvious that many animals have visited here. In particular, there are animal footprints in many places. The footprints are very complicated, including footprints of flying dragons, pheasants, and rabbits.

Without Lu Jiansheng's instructions, Lu Erniu tied the donkey to a tree, and then he and Liu Shengli climbed up the mountain to start collecting traps.

Lu Jiansheng did not go with them to search. He took charge of taking care of Dabao and the others with a gun.

You have to know that this ridge is about three meters high and very steep. Lu Erniu and Liu Shengli also climbed up with the help of the trees next to them. After all, Dabao and the others are dogs and it is not as easy for them to climb up as humans.

Moreover, the forest is not that safe. You never know when wild animals may come out. The mountain donkey is also here, so Lu Jiansheng stays behind to be on guard.

After waiting for a while, Liu Shengli and Lu Erniu ran back happily.

The harvest was good. Five traps caught two rabbits and a pheasant.
"Brother Jiansheng, this place has a really good harvest. Look at this rabbit, it's so fat!"

Liu Shengli held up the rabbit in his hand and said happily to Lu Jiansheng.

"Yes, this rabbit probably weighs about five or six kilograms."

"When we get back, I'll ask your sister-in-law to make some flying dragon soup, stew a rabbit with chili peppers, and stir-fry a pheasant, and then we'll have a few drinks."

Lu Jiansheng smiled.

"Okay! Brother Jiansheng, I'm almost drooling after hearing what you said."

Liu Shengli and Lu Erniu laughed.

Now, in the village, when it is not the busy farming season, there is nothing to do, and all there is to do is eat and drink.

Next,
Seeing that it was still early, Lu Jiansheng and the other two walked inside again.

There is a hill ahead.
"Let's go to the mountain over there and take a look. I think it will be about the same time. Then we can go home and have a drink!"

Lu Jiansheng and Lu Erniu Liu said successfully.

"Good Le!"

The three of them chatted with each other and wandered around in the mountains for a while, but apart from Dabao, they caught a rabbit and didn't get anything else.

"Let's go!"

Lu Jiansheng greeted.

Lu Erniu, leading the mountain donkey, and the three of them started walking back.

At about eleven o'clock, we returned to the village.

The dozen or so people who were hired by Lu Jiansheng to build houses were standing at the door and had not left yet.

"Look, Lu Jiansheng bought another donkey. He is so rich!" Someone said enviously.

"Who says it's not true? I can smell people eating meat every day. I envy them so much!"

"Why are you envious? If you have the ability, you can also go into the mountains."

"I don't have that ability. My second uncle went hunting in the mountains and became paralyzed. He still hasn't found a wife."

"But look at this donkey. It looks a little strange."

"..."

"Jiansheng! Shengli, Erniu...you guys are back? Is this the mountain donkey?!"

Liu Fugui was knowledgeable and could tell at a glance what Lu Erniu was pulling. He walked up to him and said with some envy.

"Yes! Yesterday, Erniu, Shengli and I went to the mountains to set up some traps. Unexpectedly, we caught a mountain donkey and brought it down the mountain."

Lu Jiansheng responded with a smile.

"This thing is not common. It can usually only be seen in deep mountains. You three are really lucky."

Liu Fugui sighed.

Lu Jiansheng glanced around and saw that the workers around him looked envious like Liu Fugui, and he couldn't help but smile and said:
"Uncle Fugui, you have been working for these days. When the people come in the evening, I will pay you the wages first."

In fact, Lu Jiansheng didn't pay any of the workers' wages these days. When they started working, he said they would pay them in full after the house was built.
But Lu Jiansheng is not short of money now. With a little motivation, I think these people will work harder.

Sure enough, the words fell into place.

Everyone had a happy smile on their face. You have to know that the money belongs to you only when you get it in your hands.
In the past, when they worked for others, it was unclear whether they could be fully paid in the end.

"Brother Jiansheng, you are such a good person!"

"Jiansheng, thank you. My children have been craving meat for a long time. This time we can buy some meat for our family."

"..."

Everyone was talking.

"Okay, everyone go home and eat first, and then come back to work. As long as the house is built well, I will definitely give you money."

……

Back home, the little donkey attracted the two little kids, Tangtang and Xixi.
This mountain donkey is as big as a sheep. These two little guys thought that Lu Erniu was leading a small donkey!

So the two little guys came to Lu Jiansheng, hugged his thighs and pointed at the mountain donkey.

Xixi was the first to say in a baby voice: "Daddy, ride, Xixi wants to ride."

"Dad, Tangtang also misses the little donkey."

"Uh... this is not a little donkey."

The two little girls wanted to ride the donkey, but Lu Jiansheng didn't dare to let his two daughters get close.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that this thing looks so obedient now, it’s actually very wild!
After informing Bai Ruoxi, the two little guys could only obey her orders.

After tying up the donkey, Lu Jiansheng gave a rabbit to Lu Erniu and Liu Shengli respectively, and asked them to take it home first and come over later for dinner.
