Chapter 223: Autumn Mountains and Forests (2)
The quiet village is misty and everything is not so real. Most of the people are still asleep, and the sound of roosters crowing and dog barking in the silence of the world is very clear.
At this time, on the path leading to the mountain forest at the back of the village, the wolf dogs Mo Feng and Mo Er were trotting happily, and the two of them stopped from time to time, turned around and waited for the four people who followed behind. Qi Zhenze walked in front with the basket on his back, and the leopard cat lightning in the basket was sleeping soundly, and there was no sign of waking up at all. Gu Sisi and Gu Xing'an, two siblings, also each carried a basket on their backs and followed behind Qi Zhenze, while Arnold was at the end.
In the morning in the mountains and forests, the fog is very heavy and humid, and the air is very fresh. The mountains in the distance were covered in white mist, and the four of them walked slowly on the path, thinking that they would speed up their pace when the fog cleared, after all, safety was the most important thing.
As time passed, the sky slowly brightened, the first rays of sunlight shone through the heavy clouds on the mountains, and the birds began to chirp and sing in the mountain forest, as if to welcome the arrival of a new day.
Gu Xing'an's face was excited, since he knew that Brother Qi was going to take their brothers and sisters into the mountain, he woke up laughing from a dream for several days, even Mu Haoyan that kid was also envious, that kid also wanted to come.
As soon as he thought that there would be a big harvest if he went into the mountain today, he couldn't help the excitement in his heart, no, he asked aloud to Qi Zhenze, who led the way: "Brother Qi, I and my little sister have been to the mountain near our village, this time let's go to a deeper place!"
Before Qi Zhenze could reply, Arnold's smiling voice sounded behind him: "Yo ho, I said Xing'an, you are quite bold, you are not afraid of running into a big cat and a bear blind!"
After Arnold finished speaking, he looked gloating, although he said that it was okay, but when he ran into it that time, he was afraid that he couldn't do it, just thinking about the scene at that time now, he felt a chill down his spine.
When Gu Xing'an heard this, the excited expression on his face froze for a moment, and the eyes that looked back at Arnold became brighter and brighter, with a faint hint of expectation, "Big cat, blind bear, is there really that thing in this mountain? I haven't been in and out of the mountain once or twice, and I have only found traces of wolves and feces, and the blind bear and the big cat have really never found it! Brother Arnold, have you seen it with Brother Qi? Isn't that thing very fierce!"
Arnold looked at Gu Xing'an's eyes, and his heart was blocked, "Fierce, of course fierce!" But we haven't met head-on, we have seen big cats and wolves fighting for territory, that scene is simply bloody!"
After Arnold finished speaking, he saw that Gu Xing'an was even more excited, and even asked him curiously: "Fight for territory?"
Arnold's heart was very broken, why is this bear kid not afraid at all! Does he know what a big cat is? It is a majestic tiger that is the king of a mountain! The blind bear is not really blind, it is a big guy of two or three hundred kilograms, and it is not fun for that thing to go crazy! The wolf pack is not much fun, and once you commit it, this wolf will always follow you, and it will not die! What is the excitement of this stupid boy giving him courage!
"Ahem!" Qi Zhenze heard the conversation between the two in front of him, and coughed twice as if he had inadvertently, Arnold heard Ze Shao's cough, and did not answer Gu Xing'an's question, but shifted the topic that Gu Xing'an was more interested in, "Xing'an, didn't you want to catch raccoon dogs before, you can guarantee that you can catch a few of them this time." ”
"Really, really? I don't expect to catch a few, I just want to catch one, preferably white, the fur is the best. Sure enough, when Gu Xing'an heard Arnold's words, he didn't ask any more about tigers and bears, only a raccoon dog with weak combat power was suitable for him.
"Yes, you're quite picky, you know that white is good. However, most of the raccoon dogs in that area are black-brown or brownish-yellow, and I have never seen a white one until now. Arnold sighed in his heart, how difficult it was for him to face a stupid boy who was not afraid of heaven and earth!
"It's okay, just catch it. I thought that winter was coming, and I could make a raccoon dog skin to make a scarf for my little sister and my mother. Gu Xing'an smiled and said it in front of Mu Haoyan, this time he had to get a few good furs to go back when he entered the mountain.
"Then you have to do your best, we have dug several traps in that place, and I don't know if there are any unlucky ones to enter, if there are any, you can take them back, even if there is nothing, we can beat a few back, but we can't do this work of nitrate fur. Arnold listened to this, smiled and said, this stupid boy still has a heart.
"Hehe, Brother Arnold, have you forgotten what my grandfather did! Gu Xing'an turned his head and glanced at Arnold, and reminded with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes, why did I forget this stubble, before Ze Shao seemed to ask your grandfather to give you a nitrate fox skin, the white fox skin is really good, made into a scarf and sold for a good price in the sea market, but it's a pity......" Arnold patted his head, look at his memory, Ze Shao didn't nitrate a white fox's fur before, but the color of the fur is really pure, white like snow, and there is not a single miscellaneous hair, but Ze Shao did not sell it as before, but it pressed the bottom of the box.
"It's a pity? I don't want to have any white fox skins, even if I can catch a few more rabbits, my little sister and my mother's gloves, scarves, and hats are all there. Although Gu Xing'an is very envious of the big brother who has the white fox skin, he is only envious, he is self-aware, and he will do whatever he can, and the little sister said that everything is within his ability, and he will be happy if he thinks about his mother if he gets it by himself.
"Xiao Sisi, you are really blessed, you have such a good brother, not bad. When Arnold heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the back of the little girl in front of him who had not spoken.
"Brother Arnold, you are also very blessed, you have gained a lot every time with Brother Zhen Ze, and you also have a share of the furs you get, what do you want to do?" Gu Sisi didn't look back, looked at the road under his feet and said sweetly.
"Ah, haha, yes, yes, you're right, I'm all blessed by your big brother. The little girl's words stunned Arnold for a moment, and then she laughed, and the laughter accidentally alarmed the birds in the woods, and the birds flapped their wings and flew away as if they had been frightened by something.
Here, the backyard of the ancient family. Gu Guoren sat on the edge of the kang, looked at his wife's sleeping appearance, glanced at the alarm clock again, and patted his wife who had changed her life with pity, but when she came to her wife, her voice was soft, "Daughter-in-law, wake up, it's time to get up." ”
Chen Xinling heard a familiar voice in her sleep, raised her eyes and closed again, and asked, "Well, what time is it?"
Gu Guoren looked at his wife's confused appearance, the smile on his face softened, and he whispered: "It's half past seven, are you still very sleepy, or you can sleep again, and I will call you later......"
As soon as Chen Xinling heard this, she immediately opened her eyes and sat up, looked at the alarm clock next to her in disbelief, then looked at her husband angrily, and said angrily: "It's half past seven, why didn't you call me earlier, I still have to make breakfast!"
Gu Guoren took the quilt and covered his wife, hugged his wife with a smile, and said with a flattering face: "Hehe, daughter-in-law, don't be angry, I can't bear to see you sleeping so soundly, besides, it's still early, our father also said to let you sleep more, it's not easy to go back to vacation, even if you sleep for a day, it's fine." ”
Chen Xinling glared at her husband and said coquettishly: "You just coax me!
"Hehe, daughter-in-law, you can blame me for this, this is really what my father said, I just came from the front yard, our father has eaten steamed buns and snacks, and drank two pots of tea. Gu Guoren looked at his wife who stretched out his hand from the quilt, hurriedly took the sweater on the side and put it on his wife, while explaining to his wife.
"It's all your fault, let you call me earlier, you don't call, my brother and sister won't have to make fun of me at this point!" Chen Xinling heard that her father-in-law had eaten, and her face was ashamed, although the countryside does not pay attention to breakfast, but as a daughter-in-law, she still has to get up early.
"Okay, well, blame me, blame me! But, daughter-in-law, brother and sister, you don't know, she won't show up until the meal, and I haven't seen her out of the house at this time, so Brother Hao or the younger brother will take it. Gu Guoren hurriedly took his wife into his arms and begged for mercy, he didn't want his wife to quarrel with him.
"Alas, poor Haohao. Thinking of such a big little doll, Chen Xinling's heart was very unbearable.
"Daughter-in-law, don't be sad, the little brother is not a fool, Brother Hao is also his son after all, take 10,000 steps back, even the little brother can't be relied on, isn't there still a father and the two of us. Gu Guoren comforted his wife softly, he didn't understand his wife's heart. Once there is a problem between the couple, the most harmful thing is the child.
"Hmph, are you so sure, I am willing to take care of Haohao with you?" Chen Xinling heard her husband's words, looked up at her husband, and asked angrily with her eyes glaring.
"Hehe, daughter-in-law, I know you are the best, Brother Hao is so sensible, don't you like it too. Just talking about our two children, the relationship with Brother Hao is not ordinary, our daughter has said that Brother Hao will definitely have a future in the future, and the younger brother and sister can't see clearly that it is her loss!" Gu Guoren looked at his wife's expression, and his heart was even softer, his daughter-in-law was the best.
Chen Xinling patted her husband's hand, put on her sweater and said: "Come on, you, when did you slip your mouth so slippery! I can tell you the ugly words in front, let's take care of Brother Hao'er, that is where the love is there, Brother Hao'er's child is so big and so pitiful, my daughter and son will not stop me, after all, they are related by blood there." ”
Speaking of this, Chen Xinling paused, and then said: "I don't want Brother Hao to do anything, even if he grows up and has a future in the future, it is also his creation." It's just that she Xue Guizhi can't go to me in the future, just put up with it before, don't think about it in the future, when the time comes, she will provoke me again, don't blame me for ignoring your brotherhood. ”
"Daughter-in-law, don't worry, I understand everything you say, and I am on your side, it is Xue ...... Brother and sister, she really committed a crime in front of you, you can do whatever you want, we can't bear it!" Gu Guoren struck the alarm bell in his heart, but he knew that what his wife said was not angry, although he didn't agree with Xue Guizhi's actions, but for the sake of his younger brother, he didn't care, but just like his wife said, this person is a good person who is bullied! However, at this juncture, it is better to coax his wife, otherwise he will not be the one who suffers!
