Return to 1983: Starting from hunting in the mountains

Chapter 72 Eagle Cliff

More than an hour later!
  Lu Jiansheng cut down three trees one after another. The tree he chose was not thick and it was not difficult to cut down. It was just a waste of time to pull the tree to the donkey cart. He did not cut down the branches. He also pulled the extra ones back to dry in the sun. It can be used as firewood if dried.

"Old Hei."

Lu Jiansheng shouted into the mountains when he was about to drive the donkey cart away.

Although this old dog seems to be a very obedient family, it becomes extremely active as soon as it gets close to the mountains. Just now it was running up and down the trail at the foot of the mountains, sniffing here and there.

Fortunately, Lu Jiansheng took off the dog leash from his neck. This kind of old dog is smart and will not run around, and there are relatively few big beasts at the foot of the mountain. Seeing that Lao Hei was so excited, he simply let him play by himself.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for his voice to fall.

I saw a figure rushing out of the forest quickly,
  Good guy!
  It's Lao Hei. In just a moment,

He took out a wild rabbit from the mountain. You should know that there are usually no wild rabbits in this location.

Lao Hei held the wild rabbit in his mouth and put it in front of him.
  Then he sat cross-legged and looked at him.

Then he picked up the rabbit and drove the donkey cart back home!
  As soon as I came back, I saw Liu Fugui at the intersection. It seemed that he was planning to go to his house.

"Uncle Fugui, why are you here?"

Liu Fugui and Lu Jiansheng spent all their money on buying a donkey, and when they heard about the pigs, his envious expression became better. "

Lu Jiansheng happily touched Lao Hei's head.

Lu Jiansheng smiled and said hello.

After all, in this poor village, the whole village knew that Liu Fugui caught a piglet, not to mention that he bought a donkey.

Lu Jiansheng smiled and looked careless. The reason why he said this was to eliminate the possibility of someone wanting to borrow money. Although he would not borrow money even if he opened his mouth, the best way to deal with it was to prevent him from opening his mouth.

"I heard that you bought a donkey. I came here to take a look. I didn't expect... Jiansheng, you have a lot of potential!" Liu Fugui praised with envy.

Lu Jiansheng chatted with Liu Fugui for a while, and was about to send Liu Fugui away when he suddenly remembered that it was necessary to build a nest for the donkey with straw and wheat straw.

Lao Hei also whimpered twice in response.

He knew that the firewood pile at Liu Fugui's house contained a lot of straw and wheat straw, and he planned to borrow some. However, Lu Jiansheng's own house had almost burned all the straw and wheat straw that were used to bedding the bed.

No wonder Old Man Li said it was even better at catching rabbits!
  Lu Jiansheng didn't expect that he would get extra benefits from cutting down trees at the foot of the mountain.

"Uncle Fugui, how can I compare with you? I raise two pigs at home, unlike me who spent all my money on this donkey."

Lu Jiansheng has made money now. Although no one in the village may come to borrow money, he doesn't like trouble, and it is normal to buy a donkey and spend all his family's money.

Is this to thank me for giving it food just now?
  He is indeed a good and spiritual dog!

Then when Lu Jiansheng spoke, he didn't expect Liu Fugui and simply agreed. However, Liu Fugui didn't want to borrow but wanted to reserve some donkey dung. Donkey dung is also a good thing in rural areas these days. He simply agreed and used donkey dung. Replace straw with straw.

He will also try to buy a donkey before the Chinese New Year this year. His life will get better and better!

As long as you raise the pigs and sell them for money, you can save some money in daily life.

Hearing the sound, Liu Fugui looked back and saw the donkey's face full of envy, and then looked at Lu Jiansheng.

Entering the yard, Bai Ruoxi looked at Lu Jiansheng's rabbit with a surprised look on her face.

"Didn't you go down the mountain to cut down trees? Why did you kill a rabbit?"

"It's Lao Hei who beat him! Give it extra food at night." Lu Jiansheng pointed at the old dog and said.

"Woof woof~"

Lao Hei barked twice and wagged his tail in front of Bai Ruoxi.

Bai Ruoxi was not afraid and touched Lao Hei's dog's head.

Not to mention it's quite warm.

Lu Jiansheng handed the wild rabbit that Lao Hei had caught to Bai Ruoxi to handle. Lu Jiansheng began to use his hands on the chopped tree. He first started to cut off all the branches.
  Then he dug four holes against the wall in the yard, slightly sharpened the heads of the chopped wooden stakes, and inserted them into the four holes he dug. He found stones and tamped them one by one.

Then they added some stones to fill the dug hole. The whole process took more than two hours before four solid pillars were erected.

Lu Jiansheng wiped the sweat from his head and tested the strength of the uprights. Not to mention a donkey, even a cow could hit this upright.

This pile can be used to tie cattle, and the height and width are enough to accommodate two donkeys.

The two little guys were watching the excitement. They originally wanted to come over and help, but Bai Ruoxi stopped them. Although the two little guys pestered Bai Ruoxi the most, they were also the most afraid of her.

Lu Jiansheng was also watching the movements of the children and Lao Hei from time to time. Although he knew that Lao Hei generally liked children, he did not expect that Lao Hei was no exception and kept wandering in front of the two little guys.

Moreover, Lu Jiansheng discovered that this old black man was different from ordinary dogs. He was very honest when he first got home.

It is different now than when we entered the mountains. If it were an ordinary dog, when it first entered a strange environment, it would either hide or howl at the top of its lungs.

But this dog is different. It doesn't howl or bark. After Lu Jiansheng came back from cutting down trees, he seemed to have completed familiarity and confirmation of the surrounding environment in a very short period of time. Now he can accompany the two little guys. Play.

The project of the donkey shed was a bit large, so Lu Jiansheng used the slightly thinner poles from the trees to make the roof of the shed, and also brought big iron nails from the house.
  In order to build hunting cabins and sheds, he bought a lot of nails, which he just needed.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sound of hammering nails resounded in the yard.

"Dad, Uncle Zhuzhu is coming."

Lu Jiansheng was working when he saw Tangtang running in with short legs from outside the yard. Lu Jiansheng put down the nails in his hands and walked out the door.

I saw Li Dazhu rushing towards his home.

Li Dazhu also saw Lu Jiansheng at this time and ran over quickly.

"Brother Lu, you're back! I looked for you this morning. My sister-in-law said you went to the countryside to attend the market."

Li Dazhu said excitedly as soon as he saw Lu Jiansheng.

"Well, is there something urgent? I was going to see you tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to come here again tonight."

Lu Jiansheng looked at Li Dazhu's hurried appearance and couldn't help but ask.

"Something happened."

Li Dazhu touched his head awkwardly: "Brother Lu, if I don't tell you tonight, I won't be in a hurry to come tomorrow."

"What's the matter?"

"Brother Lu, have you been to Eagle Cliff? Yesterday Goudan and Dashan from our village went hunting at Eagle Cliff and met a herd of deer. As a result, they just killed a deer. Before they could be happy, they woke up the deer in the barn. Blind bear, not only did the deer fail, but a dog also died. Fortunately, they ran fast, otherwise their lives would have been lost."
