The Sweet Little Fulang

With so many fish to kill, one person would definitely not be able to finish it, so Lu Gu went out to help after making the fire more prosperous.

He took knives and scissors and three old bamboo plaques. One of the bamboo plaques put out the internal organs and left them for chickens and ducks to eat. Two piles of fish scales were carried out for convenience. Otherwise, they would be scraped and thrown on the ground. The ground is not clean.

Shen Xuanqing brought two tree stumps over, which were slightly shorter but the cross section was fairly flat and quite heavy. It was just right for the stumps used for killing fish and would not shake.

He poured some water to wash the ashes from the tree stump, and when Lu Gu brought the stool over, he took it and sat down, took out a fish from the wooden barrel, and stunned when he slapped it on his back.

Seeing that what Lu Gu took out was a big fish, its tail was still swaying, Lu Gu had thin arms and thin legs, even if he had strength in his hands, Shen Xuanqing still handed over the dizzy one and exchanged it with the big fish. .

It is unavoidable that the fish scales are scraped and splashed. After there is a lot of accumulation on the tree stump, use a knife to scrape off the old bamboo plaque on the ground, and most of the fish scales fall on the bamboo plaque.

The puppy stood up on the lip of the barrel and stretched out a thick paw to pat the fish in the barrel.

After Lu Gu finished scraping the fish scales, he got up and went to add firewood. When he came out of the kitchen, he saw the dog put his head into the barrel and tried to bite the fish, but was stopped by the low growl of Da Hui who came over.

The dog will wink too, the good boy stopped, no longer clawed at the wooden barrel, got down and stood on the ground, not honestly patted the tail-waving fish in the fishing net on the ground, and lowered his body and jumped forward suddenly. , he can play with his own dog. It plays with the fish with its paws, but Lu Gu doesn't care about it.

The sun shines through the cracks in the clouds, the sky is brighter, and at a glance, it is known that it will not rain again.

After killing a few fish, the body of the fish was cold, and his hands were a little stiff. Lu Gu went to the kitchen and scooped out hot water.

Shen Xuanqing threw the fish filth he took out into the bamboo plaque, and then put his hand in the warm water to soak it, he looked up at the sky and said, "I will wait for the sun to dry for a day tomorrow, the ground will be dry and hard to walk. I'll go out to fight foxes the day after tomorrow, and we should be able to kill the fish together tomorrow."

The cold hands were soothed in the warm water. He twisted a hot towel to wipe his hands, and told Lu Gu: "If I go out, you have to work again, remember to burn more hot water to warm your hands, there is enough firewood, no need save."

Having said that, Shen Xuanqing thought of something again, and said, "If you go down the mountain this time, buy a Mrs. Tang and bring it up, pour boiling water into it, cover it with cold hands during the day, and stuff it into the quilt to keep warm at night."

Tang Pozi is a good thing. They can't afford a good charcoal fire in the countryside, and they can't afford to use their hand stoves and foot stoves, but Tang Pozi who poured water gritted her teeth and bought one, and the winter will be very good in the future.

Lu Gu has only touched Lu Wen's Mrs. Tang twice, and it was Du Hehua who asked him to bring Lu Wen into the room. It was cold winter at that time, and it was fine during the day. If you could find a sheltered place to bask in the sun, it would not work at night. Now, Mrs. Tang felt so warm to the touch that he remembered it for a long time, and sometimes he would think that if he had the money, he would buy another one, and it would not be cold to sleep at night.

But at that time, he only dared to think about it. Now, when Shen Xuanqing said he wanted to buy it, he looked at it subconsciously, thinking that he had money to sell wolfberry and other things.

Seeing his unblinking eyes, Shen Xuanqing looked expectant and serious, and continued with a smile: "If one is not enough, buy two, put one at your feet to warm your legs and feet at night, and one in the middle, and they are all hot."

I want to buy two more, Lu Gu thought about it, the hot Mrs. Tang warmed her feet, and there was one in the middle of the quilt, how warm it must be.

After thinking about it, he smiled, his brows and eyes were slightly curved, and he was happy as if Mrs. Tang had bought it.

Seeing this, Shen Xuanqing took the towel in his hand and forgot to put it down. He stared at Lu Gu in a daze. He had never seen Lu Gu smile so happily. After watching it for a while, he couldn't help laughing. It's too far away, otherwise I'll have to buy it for Lu Gu at this time.

The puppy didn't understand why they were laughing, but he could feel the good mood, and ran around the yard to have fun.

—

There was a fishy smell in the yard, and there was a row of fish hanging under the eaves. Shen Xuanqing also set up four wooden frames for hanging fish in the open space in the front yard at night. Down, put a piece of wood on top of it, and hang the fish through the twisted straw rope. There are many fish, and the four horizontal woods are all covered, and there are a few on the bamboo plaque.

Shen Xuanqing got up early and went out. The sun is getting bigger now, and it will warm up after a while.

Sitting in the sun, Lu Gu killed the loach caught the morning of the rain, killed a few stewed soup yesterday, and dried the rest while the weather was good.

The loach said that it was not too much. It was enough to hang out a bamboo plaque. Lu Gu thought, after drying it, put it up and save it for winter.

After finishing this, he pulled out the mat and spread out the purslane on it evenly.

The mat is occupied, so there is no need to dig wild vegetables first. There are still a lot of sweet nest roots that have been moved to the corner of the main room. Shen Xuanqing told him not to dig too much. Shen Yan and the others will also go up the mountain to dig. The sweet nest roots are heavy and not good. Take down the mountain.

Lu Gu was not idle either, he took the sickle and carried the bamboo basket and went outside to cut grass.

There are still wood chips for starting the fire, but there are not many grass velvet that is lighter and better to ignite. They call that grass fire grass or velvet grass. After drying, it becomes withered yellow, and the grass leaves are crumpled. The straw velvet is mixed together and can be used in the fire, and the hay stalks can also be burned.

The dog ran in front, and Lu Gu found a clump of fire grass and stopped. He was afraid that it would run far away and shouted, "Good boy, come back."

The puppy already knew what his name was, and when he heard the words, he ran back, his ears dangling constantly as he ran, and he rubbed Lu Gu's calf when he came to him.

The sickle was sharpened, and Lu Gu pushed it aside with his legs for fear of hurting the puppy.

The leaves of the wild wolfberry tree are gradually turning yellow, and all the wolfberry fruits around the courtyard were picked by Lu Gu. He walked away while cutting grass. Today, I want to find some more wolfberry fruits and wild bath beads. It should grow up too.

Not long after the fall, the red and yellow leaves on the hillside are beautiful, and the mountain flowers are blooming.

As Lu Gu was walking, he suddenly saw a snake slough, the color was a bit like the withered yellow grass. He was startled, and quickly retreated to the side. He cautiously took the long branch in his left hand to explore the grass.

The puppy follows him. Dogs are more sensitive than humans. They are like big greys. Whether they smell good or not, they can tell if there are bamboo rats and voles in the soil hole on the ground, and whether there are snakes in the grass. Come out, the puppy doesn't look too skinny at ordinary times, but it is also very spiritual. It didn't bark at the grass, and there should be no snakes in it.

The snake slough looks scary, and it should be quite long when straightened. It seems to be a big snake. Lu Gu is a little scared. The most fearful thing in the mountains and forests is encountering poisonous snakes. He clenched the sickle in his hand and brought it with him. When the puppy left here, it's better to walk in a place where the grass is low and can be seen clearly at a glance.

Although the slough of a snake can be used as medicine, it is not the slough of any snake. He couldn't recognize what kind of snake it was, and he didn't dare to go up and pick it up.

After walking far, Lu Gu felt a little more at ease. He saw some fungi in the woods not far away. He picked up the edible ones, and pressed down the fire grass in the bamboo basket, leaving a place for the fungi.

In the dense forest, the sun did not shine much, the ground was covered with fallen leaves, the rainwater on the leaves had not dried completely, the puppy's paws were wet, and the fur on the legs became darker.

Lu Gu picked up a lot of fungus in the forest, and when the bamboo basket was full, he carried it on his back and walked out of the forest.

There was still a little bit of velvet grass, so he cut another bundle, cut down the strong rattan and tied it firmly, and placed it on the bamboo basket behind him.

The things on his back are quite heavy. Lu Gu walked back and looked for the wild bath bead tree. He really let him find one. He and Shen Xuanqing still have a lot. They don't need to pick them recently. He also found it.

It is not easy to carry things on the mountain road. He came out far away. It was noon now, and he would cut the wolfberry branches when he went back for a meal.

The autumn is getting deeper and the two are diligent enough to work on their own. Shen Xuanqing went out for two days to fight foxes, and once came back on the third day. Lu Gu was drying fish and wild vegetables, mowing grass outside to pick up fungi, and putting chickens and ducks. Feed the live prey, when you are busy, you can't take care of other things, let alone have sex, and kiss at most for a while at night when you hug and sleep.

This time they stayed on the mountain for a long time, and only came down after 20 days.

One is that Shen Xuanqing beat a few more foxes, and the other is that Lu Gu was afraid that so many fish were not dried. If it rained in the days when he and Shen Xuanqing left, the fish that were not dried would pile up together. It's not that it's going to get wet and moldy, so I just put it in the sun and put it on with confidence.

The two of them usually go down the mountain once every half a month. The mountain road is so far, so naturally they can't run often, otherwise it will take a lot of effort on the light road.

Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing walked down the gentle slope, and at a glance, they saw the wall of their own courtyard, as well as the persimmon tree outside the house. After picking the red persimmons, they left some on the branches for the birds to eat.

The three big dogs had long legs and ran home first. The puppy followed them. Wei Lanxiang in the yard heard the dog barking early in the morning, so she put down her work and came out in a hurry. Not long ago, Ji Qiuyue and Ji Qiuyue greeted him directly.

"Give it to me quickly." Ji Qiuyue saw Lu Gu carrying the bamboo basket, and took it with a smile.

In the bamboo basket was dried grass velvet, which Lu Gute brought back. A basket of grass velvet was not too heavy, so he carried it all the way and did not put it on the scooter.

"If you two don't come back, Mother will let Daqing go to the mountain to see you two." Ji Qiuyue said while walking.

I haven't come back for so long this time, Wei Lanxiang is watching at the gate of the courtyard every day, several times a day, and last night she asked Shen Yaoqing if she wanted to go up the mountain, otherwise it would be worrying if she didn't have a letter.

Hearing this, Shen Xuanqing pulled the scooter forward and said, "Mother, don't worry, it's not cold in autumn. Before winter starts, I want to get more skins, so I'll stay for a long time."

"Yes." Wei Lanxiang replied repeatedly. Her second child was the most at ease. If there was anything, there was also a dog reporting the news. She glanced at the wolfberry fruit and half a sack of wild bath beads in the car, and she knew that it was collected by Lu Gu. He turned his head and smiled again: "The millet is really capable, did you also dry this dried fish?"

Before Lu Gu could speak, Shen Xuanqing responded with a smile and said, "It's him."

It was indeed Lu Gu who took the straw rope and pierced the fish to dry the fish, but Shen Xuanqing made a lot of effort to catch the fish and kill the fish, how could Lu Gu take all the credit, he said embarrassedly, "Er Qing is also busy, we are together. "

Wei Lanxiang felt happier when she saw that the two of them were getting along more and more harmoniously.
