The Sweet Little Fulang

The mountains and forests are green, but there are still dry grasses from last year on the ground. The puppy walks by with all four hooves, and when it hears the movement, it **** up its ears alertly. It is now strong but not fat, and its fur is smooth and thick, which is resistant to beating. Look. It is very vigorous and agile.

Lu Gu came from the back with a bamboo basket on his back, raised his hand and broke it off when he saw that there were edible young tree buds here. This kind of tree bud looks a bit like wild camellia when it grows up, but it cannot be brewed as tea. The sprouts that come out can be eaten as a vegetable.

Most of the vegetables grown at home haven’t grown up yet, so they didn’t bring them when they went up the mountain. They only brought winter melon loofah and spring vegetable seeds, which were planted in the front yard and back yard two days before they came up. As for the food to be eaten, all kinds of wild vegetables and leaf sprouts can be found in the mountains and plains, so I am not afraid of not eating them at all.

He jumped on the spot, jumped high, grabbed the high branch and pulled it down, pinched the tender tree buds one by one, and took a step back to release the branch in his hand, so as not to scratch his face.

His hands were covered with dust from branches and leaves. He slapped and slapped before picking up the bamboo basket and continuing to search. He didn't stop until most of the baskets were full.

It's not far from the bamboo forest, Lu Gu thought about it, turned his head and shouted, "Good boy, go, go to the bamboo forest and dig two bamboo shoots."

"Wang!" The puppy barked and followed, not wanting to play anymore.

No matter digging or picking, most of the time he will bring a **** or sickle when he comes out. First, he uses it to take advantage of his hand, and secondly, he is also a precaution in the mountains. Although he is here to break the young shoots today, he remembered Shen Xuanqing's words before going out. Saying that you must be careful when you go out, so you bring your short **** with you.

It was almost noon now, and he felt a little hungry in his stomach, so he went back to cook after digging up two large spring bamboo shoots, so he grabbed the handle of the **** in the bamboo basket behind him and took it out.

The bamboo forest is right in front of you, just a few steps away, when Lu Gu was about to enter, the dog suddenly yelled at the bamboo forest, and the barking continued.

He was startled, clenched the **** in his hand and looked over, and found a green snake wrapped around a thin bamboo not far away.

Bamboo Green Snake is poisonous. Even if he hasn't been bitten, Lu Gu feels that his feet are weak. He still doesn't eat bamboo shoots today. He thought about it and said, "Honey boy, hurry up, go back."

As he spoke, he stepped back. After taking a few steps back, he quickly turned around. The footsteps were so hurried, the puppy caught up with him immediately, and did not rush into the bamboo forest.

After walking far, Lu Gu slowed down and patted his chest and let out a slow breath when he reached a downhill open space.

He was quite afraid of snakes, but he was able to maintain his composure, and his legs and feet did not tremble. Wei Lanxiang was most afraid of snakes. When they were digging wild vegetables in the front mountain, they saw half of the old snake shed in the grass. Wei Lanxiang was frightened. They all trembled, calling him and Shen Yan tremblingly.

There have always been snakes in the mountains, and the ones I encountered today are pretty good, and they are far away from entangled in bamboos.

Lu Gu rested here for a while. There were many grasses on the way back. There was no way to walk around here. Sometimes he couldn't avoid it, so he picked up a branch on the ground to explore the grass.

When picking up branches, he was afraid that there might be some small snakes or insects on the branches, so he kicked it with his toes, and after careful screening, he dared to hold it in his hand.

He felt at ease holding the **** in his hand. If he really touched something and could wave it to frighten him, he didn't put it back in the bamboo basket, and walked back with the branch in one hand and the short **** in the other.

"Wang Wang."

When the door was locked, Da Bai called inside.

As soon as the courtyard door opened, the dog cubs rushed in first, buried his head in the water bowl and licked and drank. Dabai, who was tied beside him, stood up and walked a few steps in the same place, probably because his legs were inconvenient, and he fell down again after a while. .

Lu Gu ignored them. After he went into the kitchen and lit the fire on the stove, he grabbed two handfuls of young tree buds and washed them. Once the water in the pot was boiled, he poured it in and blanched them. All of them were enough for him to eat alone.

I had half a bowl of pheasant chicken left over yesterday, and the tender tree sprouts were lightly fried, so I fried them together with the chicken nuggets. I could eat the leftover meat, and Shen Xuanqing came back in the evening to eat fresh.

The tree buds are no longer slightly bitter after blanching in water, they are tender and refreshing, and Lu Gu ate them all by himself.

The soup is full and the stomach is warm and content. For those who are tired and rush for a living every day, it is the happiest thing in the world to be able to eat well.

After tidying up the kitchen, Lu Gu rested in the room for a while. The dog and Da Bai were playing outside. With the two of them there, there was no need to worry about wild animals breaking into the yard.

After taking a nap, he carried a wooden bucket to the river to fetch water. He took half a bucket of water and had not yet entered the courtyard. When he saw the Sichuan pepper tree outside the house, he thought that it had not been watered since he came up, and that he would have to rely on the tree knot in the future. As for the prickly ash, only these prickly ash are enough for their family to eat for a year. They don't need to change or buy it. They put down the wooden bucket, take a **** and loosen the soil a few times, and pour half a bucket of water under the roots of the tree.

The weeds are the strongest. The places he and Shen Xuanqing had removed were sparse and saplings appeared again. Snakes and insects were the easiest places to get into the grass. The pepper tree did not put the **** back after watering.

He made four or five trips to fill the water tank, and then came out and picked up the **** leaning against the mud wall to dig the grass and remove the roots, and hoeed the open space around the courtyard. Insects, rats and ants have no grass to hide in. Thinking like this, Lu Gu's enthusiasm for weeding will increase, and he is very busy by himself.

The dog ran around nearby, because the trees around the courtyard were all cut down, leaving a large open space for the sun to shine. Now there are only a few stumps that have not been dug out on the ground, and it is still facing the stump. Smell the pee, so as to circle the territory to warn other living creatures.

The days in the mountains can't be idle. After Lu Gu made dinner, he was bored in the pot and waited for Shen Xuanqing to come back.

"sheep."

When he ran out with the dog, he saw Shen Xuanqing dragging a black-hoofed sheep back, and his face was full of joy. The sheep were alive, so they could be raised in the yard, and there was no need to leave the mountain as soon as possible.

The black-hoofed sheep was lame on the front leg, which happened to be the left leg, just like Dabai, but it was less injured and could walk with a lame.

The dog has always been smart and clever, and sometimes it is quite skinny. It saw the black-hoofed sheep limping and tilted its head as if thinking about something. Then he also raised his left forelimb and walked limpingly, causing Shen Xuanqing to chuckle softly. , raised his leg and kicked his ass.

Lu Gu laughed until his eyes were crooked, and the dog put down his left front leg after being tucked away, shaking the fur on his body and running over to rub against his leg.

"It's a ram, and the female was not caught. At this moment, many female animals are carrying their cubs, and they are hidden deep and clever." Shen Xuanqing and Lu Gu talked about their experience of a day away.

When he was not married, he was alone in the mountains. Now that he is well, there are people waiting for him every day when he comes back. Facing his husband, no matter how little he usually talks, he still wants to tell Lu Gu what he saw while hunting. .

Spring hunting is quite restrictive, and the cubs are very likely to be unable to live without the mother beast. Most of them in this line of work will not hunt mother beasts with cubs or pregnant beasts, such as sheep and deer. , they all picked up male beasts to catch them.

As for rabbits and pheasants, these are not bad. There are quite a few rabbits on the mountain, and even if they hit a female rabbit, it won't get in the way.

"If you can catch the ewe, the male will not sell it, raise it at home, and lay lambs later." Shen Xuanqing said with a smile.

Ever since he started thinking about raising rabbits, he has wondered if he can raise more of other things. He is a money hunter in the mountains. These things are caught alive and kept at home, and they can be used to breed cubs. Another money.

When hunting, it is easy to kill the prey by shooting arrows and digging traps, but it is not easy to capture it alive. For this ram, he took great pains to track and trace it. He was very careful to drive the hounds to outflank the hunting because he was afraid that he would escape or be killed by accident.

When Lu Gu heard the lamb, the smile on his face became even greater, and he remembered the calf, and said, "If you order a few more, you can take them with you later when the cattle and sheep are raised."

"Yeah." Shen Xuanqing nodded in response to him, and added: "There are already five female rabbits at home, I will catch more female rabbits before going down the mountain this time, and pick out the strong ones to keep, if I can have ten female rabbits Rabbit cubs will be born again in two months, maybe forty or fifty rabbits will come out at one time, and they can be sold in the first half of the year, and they can have several crops a year."

When I was at home, I didn't think too much. The more I talked about it, the more Shen Xuanqing felt that raising rabbits was indeed a good livelihood.

Now that there is one less hunting dog, it is easy to not enter deeper mountains. If he can really raise it, he only needs to work hard during this period of time, and he will not worry about selling rabbits in the future, and he can also focus on sheep and deer. on this more valuable prey.

Lu Gu was astonished to hear that if there were forty or fifty rabbit cubs in two months, there would be a hundred cubs in those four months. If there were so many, how would they raise them, so he asked, "That's going to be a lot. cage."

The two of them thought about going together, Shen Xuanqing who was thinking about it smiled, he dragged the black-hoofed sheep into the door and said, "I'm also thinking about this, before I come up, let the eldest brother build a rabbit nest in the backyard, and there are five female rabbits at home. It's not time for the cubs yet, but I'm not in a hurry, I'll go back down the mountain to see if I can buy a piece of land and use it to raise rabbits in the future."

Are you going to buy land?

Lu Gu was stunned when he heard it. They all had chickens and ducks in the backyard in the countryside, and even rabbits were raised at home. Shen Xuanqing actually said that he wanted to buy land to raise them.

He thought again, if there are too many rabbits, this is true, and there are not so many cages in the house, and even a thick layer of rabbit dung will be accumulated.

The two tied the sheep in the corner of the backyard. The injured forelegs of the black-hoofed sheep were treated, and herbs were applied, so that the blood would no longer ooze. Otherwise, the bloodstains left behind would be enough for the beasts to chase after the **** aura.

Shen Xuanqing saw that it was in good spirits, so she didn't worry too much. She turned her head and said to Lu Gu, "I just think about it casually. When I get home, I will discuss it with big brother and the others, and eat first."

After a day of running outside, he ate a few steamed buns at noon, and he couldn't help but feel hungry.

Lu Gu hurriedly said, "I've made it all, and I can eat it after washing my hands."

It was getting late, and the two of them sat down to eat after closing the door. Tonight's food was good, bacon slices fried with tender tree sprouts, cold wild vegetable tips, and a bowl of egg drop soup.

The dog was running and jumping in the courtyard, and the setting sun stretched its shadow very long. Shen Xuanqing ate the hot soup and hot dishes, and felt comfortable and hot from the bottom of his heart. Sitting across from him and eating politely, and occasionally smiling at him, made him feel exhausted and swept away.
