Chapter 17: Capturing the Silly Roe Deer Alive
Although grandpa never led Zhang Xingming and his brother to really go into the mountains to fight big things, Zhang Xingming and his brother still caught a roe deer very well, which was something that Zhang Xingming had never experienced in the previous life. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
That day, I accompanied my brother to slip the sleeve, but I didn't get a rabbit, and the brother who was a little depressed frowned and pulled his head to lead Zhang Xingming back, and when he walked to the middle of the vegetable field, Zhang Xingming, who was running and jumping, saw something lying there on the ice at the edge of the field. When it freezes in winter, because it is not frozen all at once, the river water will overflow under the resistance of the ice, and finally freeze out a large ice surface, a two-meter-wide river, which can freeze out more than ten meters wide of the ice surface, becoming a paradise for children. There is a big river in the village, and the ice surface is bigger, so in winter, the ice surface on the side of Nangou is also played by Zhang Xingming and Zhong Changhong and Zhong Changyan, and Zhong Changhong and they will go to the relatives in the village every few days, so this ice surface has basically become the private territory of the two brothers.
"Brother, you see, there's a sheep on the ice. Zhang Xingming stopped running, looked carefully at the ice, and said to his brother.
", your sheep don't circle in winter. The elder brother replied to him without raising his head. In winter, there is no grass on the mountain, so it will not be released in the circle.
"Really brother, it's such a big sheep, you see, it's right there, don't move, it's a dead sheep, right?" Zhang Xingming grabbed his brother's arm and pointed to him.
The elder brother stopped, looked up and followed Zhang Xingming's finger for a while, frowned and recognized it carefully, and then whispered: "Squat, that's not a sheep, it should be a roe deer." You change the trouser belt (unravel, northeast pronunciation and change the pronunciation) down to me, let's catch it (two sounds) back. ”
"Does a roe deer bite?" Zhang Xingming obediently squatted down and asked.
"Don't bite, change the belt of your pants. The elder brother stared at the roe deer and said.
Zhang Xingming shook his head, this brother didn't understand himself, so he had to let him come, so he reached out and untied his trouser belt and handed it to his brother. At this time, the trouser belt of the brothers is actually a bundle of cloth strips, and the pants are tied with it.
The elder brother took the trouser belt and held it in his hand, and walked carefully to the roe deer crawling on the ice, Zhang Xingming followed behind with his pants.
When he reached the edge of the ice, the roe deer moved, but he did not run. The elder brother turned a corner, passed behind the roe deer, approached the roe deer carefully, and then tied Zhang Xingming's trouser belt to the roe deer's head, and pulled hard, the roe deer stood up along the strength of the elder brother, and then fell on the ice with a bang, the elder brother was stunned, and then laughed, and said to Zhang Xingming: "This thing can't stand up on the ice, haha, I said why doesn't it run, come, let's drag it home." ”
Zhang Xingming looked at the roe deer, with a black nose, big watery eyes, no horns, it was estimated to be a minor, a bit like a deer, but the body was smaller, there were no patterns, and four pointed hooves scratched on the ice. This unlucky child's hooves are natural ice blades at all, and I don't know how to run to the ice, if no one finds out, it is estimated that it will starve to death on the ice in the end, and it will not be able to stand up at all, let alone leave.
My brother said, "Come on, help me drag, eat big and big (meat, Northeast pronunciation and pronunciation)"
Zhang Xingming looked at his brother, then at his hand holding his pants, and said, "I'll help you pull it, you help me lift my pants?"
The elder brother looked at his hand holding his pants, and was a little embarrassed: "Then what to do, I can't pull it myself." ”
Zhang Xingming said: "You wait here, I'll call grandpa." ”
My brother was a little reluctant: "Grandpa is here, so I still caught it?"
Zhang Xingming was a little crying and laughing, and said: "My brother, even if you can pull it, as soon as it comes out of this ice, it can stand up and run, can you still hold it? Don't let it drag you home and eat a big meal." ”
The elder brother looked at the roe deer, then at the ice, tapped his mouth a few times, and said reluctantly: "Then hurry up, I'll look at it." Zhang Xingming walked to his grandmother's house with a smile, and his brother shouted from behind: "Tell grandpa that I caught it." Zhang Xingming was convinced, nodded, and walked speechlessly.
The ice surface is not far from Zhang Xingming's grandmother's house, about 300 meters, and after a while, Zhang Xingming entered the courtyard with his pants, and his grandfather was chopping wood, seeing him come in with his pants, he put down the axe and asked: "What's wrong with the second child?"
Zhang Xingming said: "My brother is holding a roe deer, grandpa, go quickly, you will run away in a while." ”
Grandpa was a little surprised: "Where is the roe deer? Your brother can tie the roe deer? ”
Zhang Xingming shook his pants and said, "That play ran up the ice, and my brother was guarding there, just there." ”
"I say," Grandpa nodded, took a bundle of string from the eaves, took it in the back, and left the hospital.
After a while, grandpa came back with Zhang Xingming's trouser belt in his hand and the roe deer on his shoulder, threw the trouser belt to Zhang Xingming, and said to the grandma who came out: "These two children are really lucky, this guy is quite fat, he has to have forty pounds." ”
Grandma was also happy, helped grandpa put down the roe deer, pinched the roe deer, and said: "It's not more, fifty catties up, this is a big one, and I haven't heard anyone hit this thing for a few days." Grandpa tightened the rope on the roe deer's leg and said: "I haven't fought for a few years, this guy is running too fast, it all depends on luck, now there is no fast gun at all, foreign artillery can't bombard, there is a time to chase it is better to dig badgers, that play is still a little accurate." ”
The foreign cannon is an old-fashioned shotgun, a bit like the first generation of thermal weapons, that is, the kind of gun used when the Eight-Nation Coalition Army entered BJ, filled with gunpowder from the muzzle, filled with powder paper, and then stabbed with a fiber, poured lead sand into the muzzle, sealed the muzzle with kraft paper, but did not need to take an incense from behind to ignite the fire like the first generation of guns, but there is a rocker arm above the rear trigger of the gun, commonly known as the dog's head, the dog's head is pulled up when the gun is fired, and there is a small iron tube below that goes straight to the gunpowder in the gun, and the diameter of the pipe mouth is a few millimeters, and a fire cap is installed on it, a bit like a match head, it is iron, and the dog head hits the fire cap as soon as the trigger is pulled, because the impact ignited the red powder in the fire cap, it also ignited the gunpowder in the gun, and the lead sand was sprayed out with a bang, which can hit a large area, this thing is far away from it has no lethality at all, and it comes slowly, basically it can't be used for hunting, it is a deterrent weapon, and it is used for self-defense.
Zhang Xingming and his brother secretly used their grandfather's foreign cannon to hit the bird in the previous life, and the guy made a loud noise, which shook the brothers and sisters, and the bird was no longer edible, and the body was full of dense lead sand, and the buckle couldn't be buckled. There is also a resident in the village who made the foreign cannon go off the fire and hit himself directly in the face, and he didn't even go to the hospital, so he asked his daughter-in-law to detain the lead sand and finish the work, and fell into the hemp pit on half of his face, which shows how bluffing the lethality of this game is.
Grandma filled the stove pit with a fire, filled the pot with water, grandpa took out a knife, took a basin, and began to kill the roe deer, in fact, it is similar to killing a pig, killing a knife and bloodletting, then peeling the skin and cramping to remove the internal organs, and then picking the legs and removing the head, dividing the body into several pieces and hanging them under the eaves, which was completed in more than an hour.
Grandpa spread the roe deer skin on the snow, and then cleaned up the internal organs, grandma went to the cellar and took out some potatoes and came back to soak them in water to peel them, ready to use them to stew roe deer meat for a while, Zhang Xingming and his brother squatted on the side and watched.
After cleaning up, Grandpa stood up and took a shovel to shovel up the blood-stained snow and lifted it into the vegetable field through the tent (a very high fence), and then brought the pot into the house, Grandma put the cut potatoes into the pot, began to cut the meat, and said while cutting: "Keep the heart and liver belly for Qingzhi, he loves to eat." The ribs were also kept, and Qing Zhi took them back for Gui Xin to taste. "Half of the meat was also left for him to take back. Grandpa said, take out the heart and belly and tie it with a string and hang it on the eaves, shave the ribs and hang them out, now there are more than 30 degrees below zero outside, and it will freeze in a while, and it will be fresh in winter.
Zhang Xingming felt that it was not easy to see how much meat there was, there was such a thing in total, and it was all given to his parents in a few words, and his parents were great.
"Grandpa, grandpa, I want to eat pork ribs, and I have to eat a lot of them. Zhang Xingming took out the child's attitude and stabbed his brother again, his brother didn't understand what it meant, but immediately shouted: "I want it too, I want to eat a lot of old and old." ”
Grandpa laughed and said, "The two little ones are greedy, okay, let you eat enough." ”
"It's all stewed again, just leave some goods for my dad." Zhang Xingming immediately climbed down the pole and was patted on the head by his grandmother: "Can you eat so much?"
In the end, I left half a pork rib and half a fan of meat for my father, and put the rest in the pot, and the bones stewed, and after a while, the aroma of meat filled the room.
When the Spring Festival was approaching, my father finally came with a big bag, rice and flour oil, cotton shoes, the brothers' new clothes (remade from adult clothes), and four ribbon fish (sea knives), a box of Jiwei shrimp (stretching out the hand, from the tip of the thumb to the tip of the index finger, there are more than ten centimeters), and Zhang Xingming's favorite shrimp chips when he was a child, a big box of red, red, green and green, as well as a radio, more than a dozen No. 1 batteries. (The factory divides meat, eggs, rice, flour and oil, fish, shrimp, cabbage, apples and pears every winter, and there are still points until now) Seeing the roe deer meat, my father sighed: "I haven't eaten this thing for many years." Who beat this? Dad, can you still hit this play?" Grandpa smiled and said, "I didn't beat it, it was your two sons who beat it." ”
The elder brother immediately puffed up his chest: "I'll take a drip, can I do it?" Zhang Xingming rolled his eyes.
"Okay, eldest son, tell me how you beat him?" Dad was still quite approachable when he wasn't angry, and hugged his brother and asked. "I looked at it, tied it with my trouser belt, and grandpa carried it back. My brother showed his skills, and my father understood, and asked my grandfather, "Is it on the ice?" Grandpa laughed.
"Why don't you bring San'er here?" asked Grandma.
"It's too small, these two are enough for you to choke, and we're content. Dad took off his shoes and put them on the kang, put his feet into the quilt to warm up, stepped on the snow and climbed the mountain, the shoes were frozen, and Grandma took the shoes and put them on the stove to bake.
Zhang Xingming climbed onto the kang, picked up the radio and studied, the blue shell was as big as a red brick, and the radio in the previous life was the baby of his grandfather, until the birth of his eldest daughter in 93, his grandfather lived in his parents' house and was still listening.
"Don't mess around, if you break it, you won't have a place to fix it. Dad scolded Zhang Xingming. Zhang Xingming looked up at his father, pouted, kept twisting in his hands, the radio made a rustling sound, sometimes big and sometimes small, Zhang Xingming touched the back of the radio, pulled out the antenna and shook it, listened to the noise and chose an angle, and then twisted, the rustling sound gradually weakened, the voice came out, and Zhang Xingming was quite familiar with the sound: "The spring water in the frontier is clear and pure, and the flowers in the frontier are warm and warm, and the ...... are warm." Zhang Xingming put the radio on the kang, took a pillow to fix it so that it would not fall, then took a step back and looked at it, shaking his head, it is really too antique, but such an antique thing has brought indelible happiness to many people in this era, brought a vast world, brought knowledge, music, and national events. This is the irreplaceable spiritual pillar of this era.
After all, it is a mountainous area, and the radio signal is always not very clear, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, Zhang Xingming scratched his head when he listened, and finally raised his head and rushed to the side to listen to the relish grandma and said: "Grandma, you go outside to Ga (cut) a small piece (meat)," and compared it with his hand: "Such a small piece is enough." Grandma's request to her grandson has always been responsive, and she didn't ask what to do, and after going out for a while, she cut off a large piece of roe deer meat on her thumb and belly and handed it to Zhang Xingming. Zhang Xingming took the meat, pierced a small hole in the iron chopsticks, and then put the meat on the antenna head of the radio, the vertical code radio seemed to suddenly come to the spirit, the noise was gone, the sound was clear and crisp, grandpa looked at Hehe Yile, and said: "This thing has to be eaten and work hard." Everyone laughed together. (Radios and old TVs with antennas have this feature, and those who have not experienced it can ask the elderly)
Grandma sighed a few times and said, "From now on, I have to hang up and listen to it, where to get it and go again? It's okay in winter, but it stinks at two o'clock in summer." Zhang Xingming laughed and said, "No, the effect will naturally be better after listening to it for a long time, isn't this just the beginning." "In fact, after listening for a long time, people get used to the noise, and the noise does not exist.
Dad went to see his grandfather again the next day, this time he went by himself, he didn't take Zhang Xingming, Zhang Xingming didn't go to Zhang Luo, he just walked back and forth, in the winter, he still didn't suffer from this crime, how good it was to lie on the hot kang and listen to the radio.
Dad came back in the afternoon, his face was a little gloomy, Zhang Xingming estimated that his father was scolded by his grandfather again, and he was depressed, so he took his brother out to skate, but don't let my brother hit my father's muzzle again, it was really hard, not at all.
Dad left some money for Grandma the next day and went back, taking away the roe deer and pork ribs, leaving the meat behind. The ribs are not as valuable as those of later generations, and the bones are not worth much at this time, so they are not a good thing.
Zhang Xingming knew that his father simply wanted him and his brother to eat a few more bites of meat.
