Return to 1983: Starting from hunting in the mountains

Chapter 71 Mom, Dad brought a little donkey
  Except that this old dog can't run as fast as expected because of its age, everything else seems to be doing well so far.

The most rare thing is that it is obviously a male dog, but its personality is more stable than the average female dog. It didn't eat, drink or rest along the way, and it didn't show any impatience or anxiety.

The more Lu Jiansheng looked at it, the more he liked it, and he wished he could take it into the mountains to practice now.

"I'll call you Lao Hei from now on!"

Seeing that most of the body was covered with black dog hair, Lu Jiansheng rubbed the dog's head and directly gave it a new name.

The old dog seemed to understand, and responded twice with a whimper.

At this time, Dabao, who smelled the smell in the yard, led Erbao, Sanbao and four other puppies out of the crack in the yard door.

Jumping to his side, Lao Hei and Dabao met for the first time. They just sniffed each other and there was no dog-eat-dog situation. Of course, although Lu Jiansheng knew that Lao Hei was spiritual, he still kept it just in case. Holding the rope.

After Dabao and the others appeared, the two little guys Tangtang Xixi also came out. As soon as they stuck out their little heads, their big watery eyes saw the big black donkey next to Lu Jiansheng.

I don't know whether they looked at each other with Lu Jiansheng or the donkey. The two little guys took a leap and ran towards the house on their short legs.

Tangtangnai asked cutely, obviously still a little worried about whether the donkey would bite people. This reminded Lu Jiansheng of three or four days ago, when two little guys climbed into the chicken coop early in the morning to help Bai Ruoxi collect the eggs. An old hen chased him, making him dumbfounded.

"I think so, but will it bite Tangtang and my sister?"

Lu Jiansheng smiled and pulled the little donkey and Lao Hei into the yard, and then tied the donkey to a pillar next to the chicken pen.

The two little guys were eager to give it a try, and finally, under the coquettishness of the two little guys' milky sounds,
  Lu Jiansheng carried Tangtang and Xixi onto the donkey. He was supporting them while Lao Hei and the five puppies were watching.

"Dad, you're back." Tangtang and Xixi ran over happily.

"Don't worry, if it dares to bite Tangtang Xixi, we will eat donkey meat today."

However, they did not leave. Instead, they picked up the half bag of fodder that Lu Jiansheng placed in the sack on the ground, stretched out their cute little hands, and began to feed the little donkey.

However, their hearts were obviously not on Lu Jiansheng and Lao Hei at the moment. After all, donkeys were even more rare to the two little guys.

"Little donkey donkey, Tangtang feeds you~"

The little guy sat on the donkey and played happily for a while. Maybe the two little guys’ buttocks hurt from sitting on it, and then they had to get off the donkey in the arms of Lu Jiansheng.

"Tangtang Xixi, do you want to ride a donkey?" Seeing this, Lu Jiansheng asked.

The two little guys were obviously excited and scared about riding a donkey for the first time, but to Lu Jiansheng's surprise,

Tangtang and Xixi looked at the donkey cautiously and curiously while holding Lu Jiansheng's thighs.

"..."

As he ran, he shouted: "Mom, dad brought back a little donkey."

Lu Jiansheng said with a smile.

This time the little donkey was surprisingly well-behaved and remained motionless as the two little guys rode on it, which made the stick held by Lu Jiansheng useless.

"Eat Fatty!"

Seeing the food handed over by the two little guys, Brother Donkey screamed excitedly, "Ah-uh! Ah-uh!"

The sound made the two breast dumplings giggle. Lu Jiansheng stared helplessly at this scene. Tangtang Xixi was obviously scared just now, but now he dared to feed her.

However, this donkey was a smart donkey and did not speak or move towards the little guy. After all, he and the six dogs were watching from the side.

The donkey obediently ate the fodder handed over by the little hand, and the two little guys also enjoyed feeding it.

"I bought the donkey!" Bai Ruoxi walked out of the main room and said.

"Well, I also bought an old dog. You take care of the child here while I go watch and get some dog food for it."

Lu Jiansheng said slowly, if you want to make a dog capable of fighting, no matter how talented it is, you can't just feed it with clear soup and little water.
  Of course, dogs should not be fed too full before hunting, otherwise they will easily become sluggish and lose much interest in the prey.

"Okay, let's go! By the way, Dazhu came here not long after you left today. He left when you weren't here."

Bai Ruoxi said.

"Well, fine, I'll go take a look tomorrow, but I don't have much time today, and I still want this donkey to make a home in the yard."

As Lu Jiansheng spoke, he walked to the kitchen and prepared food for Lao Heihe.
  He took out a piece of smoked rabbit meat from the rafter, chopped it into pieces, mixed it with the leftover porridge from the morning, and brought it to Lao Hei.

Lao Hei eats deliciously! Dabao and the others also ran over and started eating together.

Next, Lu Jiansheng plans to build a donkey shed for the black donkey in the yard! After all, it's cold at night, and donkeys will get cold and sick.

To build a donkey shed, it is definitely best to use adobe in this era, but it takes too long.

He planned to build a simple wooden shed that could shelter the donkey from wind and rain, and add more grass to keep the donkey warm. That would be enough. It was not difficult for him to build a hunting cabin in the mountains.

Of course, this wooden shed had better be sturdier, otherwise it might not last long with this donkey's temper, so Lu Jiansheng planned to use thicker wood to drive the piles deeper.

Thinking of this, Lu Jiansheng planned to go to the foot of the mountain to cut down some trees. Although there were trees in front of Lu Jiansheng's house, they were all big trees.
  It would take half a day to chop down a tree, and it was too thick to be piling.

What he wants is a tree that is about as thick as a leg, has the right thickness, is relatively strong and transportable, is easy to carry home, and is also the most suitable for making wooden stakes for a donkey shed.
  But before that, we need to get the donkey cart ready. After all, if we go to the foot of the mountain to cut down trees, we will naturally need this donkey to pull them back.

Lu Jiansheng didn't have a donkey saddle, so he had to ask Bai Ruoxi to find two strips of cloth and tie them to the handles of the cart. Then he only had to put the strips of cloth on the donkey's body, and it became a donkey cart.

This method is as simple as it gets, but it saves effort and is convenient without a donkey saddle.

Had lunch!

Lu Jiansheng finished fixing the donkey cart, but found that the donkey didn't want to move.

"You're such a lazy ass, and I'm going to build a house for you!"

He took a stick and slapped the donkey's butt. The donkey felt the pain and went to work obediently.

Lu Jiansheng took an ax and took Lao Hei to the foot of the mountain to cut down the tree.

After a while, a straight tree appeared in his eyes at the foot of the mountain. The thickness was moderate, so Lu Jiansheng did not hesitate to wave the ax in his hand and started chopping.

After a while, with a pop, this tree of moderate thickness fell to the ground. It was of the right length and thickness, and the height of the wooden stakes cut into two parts from the lower part to make a donkey shed was just right.
