Chapter 31
After Zhang Damin said some more words, he left. After Li Hongxiang put away all the clothes, there was a noise outside Zhang Tiezhu's courtyard. It was her husband Zhang Tiezhu who had returned.

"Daughter-in-law, come out quickly and see what good things I got." Zhang Tiezhu's excited voice came from the courtyard, shouting loudly.

Zhang Yuxiu hurriedly ran out of the house when she heard the words. She didn't come back until it was dark, but she was very worried. She wanted to go to Wuzhu Mountain to look for him before, but she was delayed because of Zhang's rich wife. Hearing Zhang Tiezhu's shout, he ran out without hesitation to see what was going on, and made him so happy.

When they arrived in the courtyard, Li Hongxiang couldn't help being happy when he took a look through the night. He saw Zhang Tiezhu holding two hares by his waist, a wolf on his shoulder, and the basket on his back was full of things. It is very convenient to start the fire and cook the pot, and there are more than a dozen bird eggs underneath.

"Husband, where did you get so many things?" Li Hongxiang said in shock.

Zhang Tiezhu put the wolf on his shoulders on the ground. The wolf was already dead, and the blood on his body had already solidified. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his brow, took a breath, and then said with a smile: "I am here today." When I looked in the trap we dug, there was a wolf in it, half dead. The blood had almost dried up. Obviously, the wolf had been in the trap for a day or two, and its stomach was hurt by the spikes in the trap. It got stuck and couldn’t get out, so I went up and gave it a knife, killed it, and then got it up.”

"I found these two hares in other traps. By the way, I also found a large nest of bird eggs. These bird eggs can be mended and cooked for the children every morning."

Li Hongxiang laughed and said: "There are twelve bird eggs in total, one bite for each egg, not enough for four babies, and one for each morning. I think we can cook them all tomorrow morning."

"Daughter-in-law, just look at the arrangements." Zhang Tiezhu still had an unstoppable smile on his face. Today can be said to be a bumper harvest.

Since he became crippled, it was difficult to catch wild game. His legs were inflexible, and he couldn't even catch a pheasant. Life became very difficult.In desperation, he had no choice but to find a way to catch the animals and dig traps everywhere in the forest. Fortunately, no one went in in the deep mountains, and the traps he dug were marked with danger, so nothing happened so far.

It's just that the trap has been dug so far, and no beast has thrown itself into the trap. He was going up the mountain to try his luck today. If there are no beasts in the trap, he will find a way to catch some. This time, he must find a way to get some game or something. Otherwise, this winter will not be possible.

I never imagined that I would gain so much from going up the mountain this time!
One of the two hares can be kept at home to eat, and the other can be exchanged for money at a restaurant in the county. The fur of the rabbit kept at home can also be exchanged for money in the county. What is more valuable is the wolf’s fur. If it is peeled well, the whole wolf skin can be sold for a lot of money. At that time, the money from the sale can be used to buy some quilts and mattresses, as well as some coarse grains.

This winter is coming to an end, and it should be able to survive.

Therefore, Zhang Tiezhu is in a very good mood now.

"Huh? What is this smell, chicken soup smell? We killed chickens? No, daughter-in-law, we don't have chickens!" Zhang Tiezhu suddenly smelled the smell of chickens in the yard, and couldn't help but move his nose, and his stomach let out a burst Grunts.
