70: Raising a wife, the whole village is inhaling the aroma of stewed meat.

At this moment, Zhou Qingwen entered the room, saw the doctor, and greeted him, saying, "Dr. Yu is here."

Dr. Yu nodded and said, "You two talk, I'll go get the prescription."

"it is good."

"Brother Erniu, I hunted this pheasant in the mountains, I won't charge you a penny!"

Erniu's eyes reddened slightly as he said, "That won't do either. You take it back yourself. I'll go up the mountain myself once and I'll know how rare this pheasant is. I really can't accept it!"

"Brother Erniu, don't be so polite with me. I didn't give you this pheasant for nothing. I want to know, where did you encounter the wild boar?"

Erniu nodded with red eyes and said, "That's right. When you're hunting in the mountains, you must be trying to avoid this beast. It's over there in Xizi Ridge!"

However, wild boars don't have fixed territories, so you have to be careful; these wild boars are very fierce!

Zhou Qingwen tightened his grip and said, "Okay, you take good care of your injuries. I'll avenge you when I catch a wild boar!"

Sun Erniu's eyes widened as he exclaimed, "What? Qingwen, weren't you supposed to avoid that wild boar herd? You're actually going to fight them? Are you out of your mind?!"

Zhou Qingwen lightly reached out his right hand and wiped his sharply defined chin: "I'm going for them. I can use a gun. Wait for my good news!"

Sun Erniu glared at Lao Yuan and said, "You—Qingwen, you better watch out! Even our old water buffalo is afraid of that wild boar!"

Zhou Qingwen said with a serious expression, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Sun Erniu took a deep breath. "If you can even kill just one of those wild boars, I'll be grateful!"

Zhou Qingwen stepped forward and said with concern, "Brother Erniu, take care. Even if you don't hunt anymore, you can still chop firewood for the villagers. My family, for example, needs a lot of firewood to get through the winter."

Sun Erniu said happily, "Hey! I understand, I understand."

Zhou Qingwen then said, "Okay, I'm going back now. I haven't eaten yet."

Erniu's wife immediately said, "Qingwen, why don't you have a meal here before you go back?"

"No, sister-in-law, I'm going home. My family is waiting for me to eat."

Zhou Qingwen then said, "No need to see me off, I'm going back."

Sun Erniu immediately said, "Then Qingwen, please take care on your way."

"OK."

Zhou Qingwen pondered in his mind that Xizi Ridge was about four hills away from the village, a relatively remote place.

He hasn't been there yet.

When Zhou Qingwen returned, he saw that his eldest and second sisters-in-law were working together, stewing rabbit meat in a pot.

"Third brother, Dad said the rabbit was big, so he stewed half of it. Is that alright?"

The eldest sister-in-law asked cautiously, afraid of upsetting Zhou Qingwen.

"Only halfway through cooking? How long has it been cooking?"

"It's been simmering for about half an hour."

"Okay, I'll grill the rest. We're going to have a meaty feast tonight! We have an important mission tomorrow!"

In the courtyard, Zhou Qingwen used a stove, put in some charcoal, skewered the remaining rabbit meat with two tree branches, and roasted it.

I brushed on oil for a while, and then I brushed on a little seasoning.

At this stage, it's just some ordinary seasonings.

The aroma of the grilled meat was still very tempting.

Although it doesn't smell like the barbecue of modern times, it's still quite delicious!

After roasting for about half an hour, Zhou Qingwen tore off a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, and chewed, "Mmm, the roasted rabbit meat is ready to eat!"

My sister-in-law was also in the kitchen saying, "The stewed rabbit meat is ready to eat."

"Dinner's ready!"

Zhou Feitian shouted in a loud voice.

Liu Yue'e and Zhou Jinfeng took a shower first, and while they were washing clothes, Liu Yue'e wiped her hands and said, "Finally, we can eat! I'm starving!"

Then, Zhou Qingwen cut a large pot of stewed rabbit meat and a large piece of roasted rabbit meat into many pieces with a knife: "Come on! One big piece for each of you! Eat first as a sign of respect!"

Zhou Qingwen gave the rabbit leg to Zhou Jinfeng, and the little guy was so happy that his mouth stretched from his ears to his ears.

"Thank you, Uncle Xie!"

"No need to thank me. If you help sweep the floor and do some chores later, you'll definitely get something good to eat!"

"Okay!"

Then, everyone received a piece of roasted rabbit meat that was crispy and fragrant.

Liu Yue'e took a bite: "This rabbit meat smells surprisingly good!"

Zhou Feitian said, "Eat quickly, I'm starving."

The whole family was filled with the sounds of eating, chewing, and the satisfied smiles of swallowing meat.

While eating, I kept thinking, "Why does this meat smell so good?"

After the meal, Zhou Qingwen carefully sharpened his machete on a whetstone using a small oil lamp.

He plans to try his luck at Xiziling tomorrow.

Shooting a wild boar with a gun would be the best and safest option.

But what if you attract a herd of pigs? You'd better be prepared with a machete.

We still need to make thorough preparations for hand-to-hand combat.

A wise hunter is one who is never arrogant.

Only by being careful and cautious can one move freely in and out of the Taihang Mountains.

The prey in the mountains are all spiritual; if it's not meant to be yours, you have no chance to get it.

Therefore, not everyone can be a hunter.

Like Sun Erniu and He Gousheng?

They were incredibly brave; they didn't even retrieve their hunting rifles before the wild boar swept them off the cliff.

They're lucky to have escaped with their lives.

Zhou Qingwen checked the hunting rifle again that night. Although he was temporarily allowed to use it, it belonged to the brigade leader's family.

Zhou Qingwen was thinking that if he managed to catch a wild boar this time, he would definitely have to go to Old Zhao's black market to get a hunting rifle.

A hunter's gun is more important than his wife!

Zhou Qingwen's mind conjured up Yu Yalan's smiling face again.

Yes, I miss her again!

Zhou Qingwen put the remaining piece of roasted rabbit meat in a bowl and went out with it.

Liu Yue'e happened to come out and saw his back: "What's that brat up to sneaking out like that?"

The second sister-in-law then leaned over and said, "Mom, I have a feeling that the third son seems to have someone in his heart?"

Liu Yue'e's eyes narrowed as she asked, "Who is it?"

"I don't know, but the third brother hid a piece of roasted rabbit meat!"

The older sister-in-law chuckled and said, "It's the rabbit's front leg, the meatiest part!"

Liu Yue'e then said, "If I could exchange a rabbit's front leg for a daughter-in-law, I'd be more than willing!"

The eldest sister-in-law laughed and said, "Mom, you've got it all figured out. These days, you could get a wife for nothing, not even a rabbit's foreleg, but just a bowl of corn porridge!"

The second sister-in-law then said, "I saw the third brother heading towards the cowshed!"

Liu Yue'e exclaimed as if her neck had been choked: "A cowshed? That's where people from the 'Five Black Categories' live!"

The second sister-in-law exclaimed in surprise, "My goodness, could he have taken a fancy to one of that capitalist's daughters?"

The eldest sister-in-law thought for a moment and said, "I remember, that capitalist's youngest daughter, Yu Yalan, seems to have talked with the third brother a few times!"

Liu Yue'e took a deep breath. "I'll go talk to your father. This needs to be stopped immediately!"

Liu Yue'e hurriedly went into the inner room.

This small courtyard has only four bedrooms, a kitchen, a storage room, a backyard, and a frontyard.

There are two pigsties in a row and a chicken coop in the backyard.

Located at the eastern end of the village, in the village chief's area.

They were considered a relatively poor family.

From the outside, Zhou Qingwen's small courtyard looked very dilapidated, with a sense of decay and impending collapse.
