The Sweet Little Fulang

"Dai Hui found it?"

Lu Gu's eyes were amazed, and as he spoke, he rubbed the big grey dog's head. Compared to the dog cub's tail, which was wagging in excitement, Da Hui only rubbed his head in his palm, but the fluffy tail behind him was also constantly swaying, enough to Show it's happy.

"Yeah." Shen Xuanqing nodded, it was getting late, he took the lead to walk up, and said, "I was thirsty and tired in the noon, rested by the stream and ate dry food, Da Hui ran away by himself, couldn't even shout, he could only Let it go and I'll walk behind calling it and the boy's name so it can hear and know where I am."

"The dog's nose is Turin, and it runs fast. I don't know where I found it on Dahui. I only heard it barking with the good boy from a distance. I was afraid of losing my direction, so I stood there and called them both names. wait."

After returning to the yard, Lu Gu broke two steamed buns for the boy who had been hungry all day. He devoured it, and he didn't think it was meat at all. Da Hui was also eating steamed buns and drinking water.

Seeing that Shen Xuanqing's hair and clothes were dirty, he said, "You wash your hands first, I'll cook, and after I finish eating, boil water to wash my hair."

"Well." Shen Xuanqing said, "I'll take Da Hei to pick up the bamboo basket. Yesterday, I caught two pheasants and a stupid tit, I don't know if they are still there."

Lu Gu went into the kitchen and was busy. The cress he cut yesterday afternoon was not fried, and the water scallops were steamed a lot. There were still two bowls left, and they could be eaten as soon as they were hot. He took out all the bamboo shoots soaked in the water basin and cut them into pieces. Si, the good boy and Shen Xuanqing are back. They didn't eat well last night, so I have to cook more dishes today.

In the woods, Shen Xuanqing and Da Hei found the bamboo basket. The hatchet was still inside. The pheasants with their feet bound were not far from the bamboo basket. Neither of them died. As for the injured stupid tit. , without him looking for it, Da Hei found it in the grass half a mile away along the blood on the ground.

The stupid **** is bigger than the pheasant. It can't fly, but its claws and beak are very sharp. He used a feather arrow when he caught it yesterday, and he hit the wing and injured it. After one night, the stupid **** was entangled in the beak and could not send out. She screamed, her wings fluttered when she fled, she bled a lot, and she was out of breath.

He picked up the stupid **** and stuffed it into the big bamboo basket, thinking that he just killed it and gave it to the good boys.

It is also because it is not far from the yard. More than ten years ago, the old hunter and some of his colleagues made money, and joined hands to hunt and hunt wildly in the mountains, forcing the beasts to retreat deeper into the mountains, otherwise these prey would have been killed last night. ate.

Compared to the morning cloud cover, Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing both had smiles on their faces during the meal.

Before the sun went down, the good boy who got home lay on the ground, holding a large piece of **** meat with his two front paws to eat. The same was true for Da Hui and Da Hei, but without him, those two would eat standing up.

A wisp of blue smoke floated up, and Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing were boiling bath water in the kitchen.

Shen Xuanqing added firewood to the bottom of the stove and said, "Take a rest tomorrow, and I'll take you home the day after tomorrow."

Lu Gu was stunned for a moment, and only looked at him without saying a word.

He sighed softly and said, "There are many wild animals in the mountains, especially in summer, and they like to run around more than usual. Not to mention tigers and bears, wild boars are fierce, so it's better to stay at home."

"Then I'm back, what do you do with dinner?" Lu Gu frowned.

Shen Xuanqing smiled and said, "It's not that I can't cook anything, and I didn't starve to death on the mountain before, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Now that the family has raised rabbits, I will not rush you up after I send you down the mountain. You can also catch rabbits in the front mountain. It takes a few days to get ten pairs of breeding rabbits. You can cut grass and feed them at home. Catch these little things again, save your energy, pick up deer, goats, and fight, not to mention deer, you can sell a sheep for at least a tael, which is more money than selling rabbits and pheasants."

"If you only hunt big game, as long as you hit it, drag it down the mountain to sell it. Even if you only sell one sheep a month, you will still get a tael of silver. In this way, your time on the mountain will be short, and it is estimated that you can go down in a few days. I don't still eat the food you cook after I get home."

Shen Xuanqing said, and said with a smile: "I just started my apprenticeship two years ago. When I was not skilled enough, I was able to hit sheep, but it was because of good luck. This year, I had bad luck going up the mountain, and my family was busy, so I only hit a black-hoofed sheep. , as long as I don't distract myself from hitting other things and follow the trail to find it, I will definitely be able to hunt."

Hearing this, Lu Gu, who listened to him carefully, nodded his head, and he had always believed in Shen Xuanqing's ability.

"If you go down the mountain, I don't need to worry anymore. Dabai has to watch the house at home. I'll bring the good boy up. With three hounds in my hand, I will be more secure." Shen Xuanqing added: "There are many livestock in the house. Many, my sister-in-law is pregnant, only my mother and eldest brother take care of them, they are busy every day, you can help when you go back, I am at home for more than ten days a month, and I will not be so tired."

When it came to this, Lu Gu had to nod in agreement, but he was used to being with Shen Xuanqing, and he felt a little bored, and his brows had not yet stretched.

Seeing this, Shen Xuanqing grabbed his hand and clenched it tightly, and said with a smile, "You are at the foot of the mountain, I must hurry back."

These words made Lu Gu's ears turn red all of a sudden, he hesitated for a long time and couldn't say a whole sentence. In such an intimate and charming joke, he finally smiled again.

The next day, Shen Xuanqing didn't go out hunting, and the gate of the courtyard was a little loose due to being hit by a wild boar.

In fact, three latches can be inserted into the courtyard gate. Lu Gu was too panicked at that time, and the wild boar was in a hurry. He could only think of the long tree trunk that was going to move the top door.

Lu Gu couldn't help these things, so he fetched water and washed Shen Xuanqing's clothes in the courtyard.

He sat on the small bench and washed, listening to Shen Xuanqing's movement of planing wood, and looking at the vegetable field in the front yard, as soon as he left, Shen Xuanqing could not live on the mountain for a few days a month, and he wondered if the vegetables would dry out. He thought about it and talked to Shen Xuanqing.

Shen Xuanqing said: "It doesn't matter if it's dry, just dig some wild vegetables outside to eat, and there are also the loofah and winter melon in the backyard, the vines are so long, don't worry about it, in two months, it will probably depend on the rain. I can get a few."

"There are some things that you don't have to worry about too much. You go home, and Niang and the others can eat and drink well. There are a lot of vegetables grown at home, so just take care of them."

When he said this, Lu Gu felt relieved, with a slight smile on his face, nodded and said, "Well, I see."

A peaceful day passed, and the extreme fear of being chased by wild boars gave Shen Xuanqing a sense of peace of mind after returning. Only when he went out and saw the traces on the ground could he remember the thrill at that time.

When packing the burden, Shen Xuanqing helped by the side, put all his clothes in, and didn't plan to let him come up again.

After locking the courtyard door, Lu Gu felt a bit of indescribable emotion in his heart. He glanced at the courtyard in front of him before turning around and going down the mountain with Shen Xuanqing.

Hearing what happened to Lu Gu on the mountain, Wei Lanxiang opened her eyes in horror, and cried out ho, oh, and finally, patted her chest and said, "It's okay to lose, later, don't go up."

The good boy was playing Cuju in the yard, Wei Lanxiang looked at it and said, "You and Erqing often say it's smart, but it's weird, but it's really clever and knows how to protect the master. It's really a good dog."

In the past, she always felt distressed to eat too much meat for the dog, but now she sees that the good boy has smooth hair and strong appearance, and he is not afraid of the big wild boar.

"Brother Guzi, will you be at home from now on?" Shen Yan asked beside him.

"Well, I won't go up in the future." Lu Gu replied, but added: "I don't know, maybe your brother Erqing is too busy to cook, so I can follow and cook for a few days."

The shadow of the wild boar made him afraid, but after living on the mountain for a long time, he knew that that day was just an accident, and there were usually no big beasts within two or three miles around the yard.

"It's okay to be at home, I have a company to do needlework, and we can also farm the ducks together." Shen Yan was happy.

Recently, Ji Qiuyue's belly has grown so big that it is difficult to accompany her to the riverside. Shen Yaoqing and Wei Lanxiang have to work on the new house and the fields. She can only take Dabai with her when she puts ducks in the morning, and meets villagers by the river. She couldn't say a few words, and most of the time she stayed by herself.

"Well, let's go together." Lu Gu agreed with a smile.

Shen Xuanqing lived at home for seven or eight days. Every day, he brought three dogs into the mountains to catch rabbits alive. There are fewer rabbits here than in the deep mountains, but if you look for them, you can catch them. You really have collected ten pairs of breeding rabbits. He didn't like the extra ones because they weren't strong enough. They were kept in the nest in the backyard of the old house for a while, and the family wanted to eat them before slaughtering them.

Early this morning, he packed his things, walked to the door and said, "Okay, go back, don't follow, I'll be down in a few days."

"Yeah." Lu Gu nodded, stood in front of the courtyard and watched him walk up the gentle slope. The good boy turned back and yelled at him a few times, as if he was a little reluctant, and then he turned back.

Busy at home is busy, but it is much more peaceful than the mountain, and there are many people in the village, so there is no need to worry too much about wild beasts.

Lu Gu didn't know that after going up the mountain, Shen Xuanqing didn't look for the deer and sheep. He dug out the cloth-wrapped thing from the gap in the corner of the firewood house. Fine iron heavy arrows, only three are heavy.

The finger pulp touched the tip of the arrow lightly, and it was still sharp after a long time of use. This was given to him by the old hunter in the past. The heavy arrow has strong lethality, which is good for dealing with rough-skinned and thick-skinned things like wild boars.

Shen Xuanqing spent a whole day making arrow shafts and arrow feathers. He was satisfied after trying to draw the bow several times. Such preparations were not enough. juice and dip one of the arrowheads in it.

After soaking it overnight, the hemp poisonous juice dyed the arrowhead deeply black. He wrapped his palms tightly with a cloth before daring to wipe the arrowhead with a cloth strip. After drying, the arrowhead reflected a strange black light under the sun. Not so good.

The poisonous weed sap will be paralyzed wherever it gets on it, and it will take four or five days to subside. It is not a deadly poison, but it is powerful.

Even with a heavy arrow in hand, if a male wild boar weighing several hundred kilograms cannot be killed in one hit, the pain will make them go mad, and their eyes will turn red under the fierceness. , The male wild boar is not small at first glance. If he really holds revenge, it will be extremely dangerous to attack him in the future when he is not prepared. It is better for him to strike first.

Although it has been almost ten days, the male wild boar may not be sure where it has wandered, but since it has been foraging all the way here and there are no other male wild boars nearby, it is very likely that this place will be enclosed as its territory, as long as you have patience. Find it, you will find it.
