Age: My Small World

Chapter 124 Inquire
Yang Jun's alcohol tolerance is also average.

But having a sip in winter can indeed warm your body, and at least you should give people some face.

So he took the bowl and tasted it.

A typical corn stew, very tasty.

Wang Yiniu was quite heroic, but his face quickly turned red after he took a bite.

You can see that he is trying hard to pretend that he can drink a lot.

"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables."

A plate of braised meat, the taste is a bit strange.

After all, it is not an ordinary slaughtered animal, so it has a stronger smell and tastes a bit like mutton.

Thirty years later, Yang Jun would not have dared to pick up his chopsticks, but now he is not afraid.

The two of them ate and drank in the main room, while Mrs. Niu took the children to the inner room to do some work. This was basically a common feature of this era.

It is said that men and women are treated the same, but the tradition of women and children not eating at the table persisted for decades.

After drinking some wine and eating some food, he finally realized that Wang Yiniu was sincerely inviting him to drink and eat meat.

So Yang Jun did not hide anything and told the real purpose of his visit.

"Brother Daniel, I came here to ask you something."

"Xiaoshan, if you have any questions, just tell me. I, Danniu, will definitely help if I can."

Wang Yiniu blushed and patted his chest.

"It's nothing serious. You go into the mountains often, so you must have seen a lot. So I wanted to ask if you've seen any traces of wasps, wild boars, wild wolves, or anything like that."

He uses wasps as a means of defense, and the wild boars are raised as meat pigs. As for the wild wolves, he will see if he can pick them up.

Don't overestimate wolves. In this day and age where everyone has a gun, if wild wolves dare to approach the village, they will be easily eliminated.

"I've seen wasps before, but we don't dare get close to them. Xiaoshan, if you want to eat honey, I'll go into the mountains and bring you some one day."

He decided to take the risk.

Wasp honey is not so easy to get.

Before people generally had means to deal with hornets, they were kept at a distance. At most, they were driven away with smoke, but it was difficult to collect honey from them.

If you are accidentally stung by a wasp, you will definitely get seriously ill.

If there are too many hornets, the danger to life is no joke.

Yang Jun waved his hand and said, "No, I don't eat any honey."

"I knew a beekeeper when I went to Dongwang Village before, so I asked for him." He temporarily borrowed the name of the old man of the Yu family.

Anyway, Wang Yiniu won't delve into these things, and Yang Jun won't raise hornets at home to attract attention.

"Is that so?" Wang Yiniu was obviously relieved. It seemed that he was also quite afraid of wasps.

Then he simply told Yang Jun the location of the hornet.

The place was not far away, it was on a fork in the road behind the mountain, but unlike the usual way to the outskirts, their road had already gone deep into the mountains and forests.

"If you still can't find it by then, you can ask him to come to me next time and I can take him there." Wang Yiniu also made an after-sales guarantee.

"Of course, thank you, Brother Daniel."

"Haha, there's nothing to thank for. It's not your business."

"As for wild boars and wild wolves? Do you want to try hunting by yourself?" Wang Yiniu asked this with a serious tone.

As members of the village guard team, hunting is a common occurrence for them. However, because of this, they are also very familiar with the situation in the mountains. Generally, if a novice encounters big guys like wild boars and wolves, the probability of getting into trouble is too high.

He didn't want anything to happen to Yang Jun, so he hesitated. "I'm just curious. Didn't wild boars come to the village before? I wanted to ask around, just in case I encounter one while collecting firewood."

"Hahaha, there's no need to worry about that. Wild boars and wild wolves can't reach Xiaoqian Mountain."

Wang Yiniu really thought he was just curious, so he started talking.

Although the Big Back Mountain and the Small Front Mountain are connected, there is a rocky cliff between them as a fault, and large animals can hardly pass through. This also means that the wild animals in the Big Back Mountain will not come to the Small Front Mountain, after all, there is no prey to eat.

"Wild boars often come here to destroy crops. They also take a detour from the back mountain. Last time, we set a trap there and caught three big pigs, but unfortunately a group of small ones got away."

He said this with great regret.

Then he added, "Wild wolves are even rarer. I've only seen them twice in my life."

"Usually, we have to walk to Haizi Cliff from the back of the mountain to find traces of wild wolves, but that's too far, and our team members usually don't go there."

Yang Jun knew that Haizi Cliff was close to the main mountain of the real Mount Tai. It was a barren ridge heading east, about twenty miles away. No wonder wolves were so rare.

As they chatted, Wang Yiniu began to talk about some interesting things about their hunting. Yang Jun listened carefully. It contained a lot of experience in survival in the wild, which might be useful in the future.

After about two hours, it was completely dark and Yang Jun said goodbye.

They had only finished half of the bottle of wine, but both of them were a little drunk.

In fact, most of it was drunk by Wang Yiniu. Yang Jun didn't like the irritating feeling on his throat, so he only drank one or two ounces, just two sips.

"Xiaoshan, come and visit us often in the future."

"Okay, Brother Daniu, you should go back to the house quickly." Yang Jun was actually worried about Wang Yiniu who was blushing.

Fortunately, Mrs. Niu came out in time to catch him.

"I told you not to drink so much..." The chattering voice gradually faded away behind him. Yang Jun blew some fresh air and his expression recovered a lot.

Walking in the clear moonlight, he headed towards home.

When he was halfway there, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Have you been drinking?" It was Cheng Xiaoyu, who was walking towards him with a somewhat unhappy look on her face.

This scene is more like a scene where a husband goes out to drink and is blamed by his wife when he comes home.

Yang Jun quickly shook his head, wondering why he had such strange thoughts. It was probably because he had been drinking.

He smiled and said, "Nothing serious, I just had a couple of drinks with Big Brother Danniu, not much."

"Xiao Yu'er, why are you here?"

The girl in front of him didn't say anything, but came over and supported him.

"Okay, if you've had some wine, go back and lie down to get rid of the alcohol smell."

How could she say that she saw him go to Wang's house, so she was worried for several hours and had been waiting here for a long time?

"No need to help, I'm really not drunk."

"Hmph, I don't want to bother with you. You're even learning to drink." Cheng Xiaoyu reached out and pinched him, but didn't let go.

"What's going on? The housekeeper is here to take care of me?"

Seeing her staring at him, Yang Jun scratched her nose with amusement.

When my fingers touched her lightly, she blushed but didn't dodge.

"Brother Xiaoshan." Cheng Xiaoyu's voice became softer.

In an instant, the atmosphere between the two of them became a little tense.

There was a hint of shyness and anticipation in those crescent-shaped eyes.
