Chapter 13: The Return of the Hunt

There are many chestnut trees, it seems that there are more than 20 of them. Scattered among other trees. Unfortunately, it was too high, and they didn't bring long bamboo poles, so they could only pick up the scattered fruits that fell on the ground! In order to preserve it, Erya didn't let them peel off the burr shell. I didn't pick up much to fill three back baskets, and Er Ya was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take it away, so he didn't pick it up anymore!

She wanted to wander the woods and see if she could find dead trees that had sprouted fungus and mushroom roots. Xiaohu saw the posture of Erya raising his legs and wanting to go inside, and hurriedly followed. He asked, "Daughter-in-law, what are you looking for?" Tell me, I'll look for it with you! ”

Erya looked at the uncle and them, and they all turned their heads to look at her with an inquiring expression. Erya thought about it, and thought it might be faster for everyone to find it together. "Uncle, if you wish, follow along in the woods to see if there are any dead trees or roots that have fungus and mushrooms. If so, the next time we come, we'll bring the tools over, get them home, and raise them at home! ”

Uncle was very simple, "Okay! Then we'll look for it, but we don't know what that fungus looks like, you have to tell us! ”

"Ahh Haven't you seen fungus? It's the kind of black, shaped like ears. Clumps of them grow on trees, and some grow on their roots. But there are also yellow ones! Erya was a little surprised, how could they not have seen the fungus. Has the name of this fungus been passed down from ancient times to future generations?

"That's it, we know! Isn't our house called egg skin? You don't know?! "The second uncle is also strange on the side, this nephew's daughter-in-law's maiden home is not far away?!

Er Ya was stunned for a moment, how can this be explained!? "Huh!? The egg skin is fungus! I always thought that the egg skin was the corner skin, the black skin that grew on the ground after the rain! ”

Xiaohu nodded as if he suddenly realized, "Yes!" I thought it was! ”

Everyone didn't pay attention to this, and began to scatter around looking for fungus mushroom trees. Fortunately, after more than an hour, everyone returned to their original place. Each of them has found fungus mushroom trees, and it seems that there are quite a few. Although many of them are shriveled and *, they also picked a large handful of fungus that is still very intact and came back! Let Erya see if it is the fungus she said, among them, Laizi also climbed a tree and picked four or five white fungus. Laizi didn't know that it was white fungus, but because it looked good below, he climbed up and picked it up.

Erya pulled the white fungus with her fingers, and said to Laizi with a smile: "This is a good thing, if someone knows the goods, it can be sold for one or two silver!" ”

Laizi's eyes lit up: "Really? Sister-in-law, don't coax me! The eldest uncle and the second uncle followed the children with big eyes, and looked at Erya with bright eyes, unable to believe what they had heard.

Suddenly, Erya felt like she was under a lot of pressure! Some didn't dare to pack tickets: "Oops! Don't do that! This is white fungus, a great tonic. Only rich families can afford to eat. A pound of dry is about ten taels of silver. Some places are more expensive, while others are cheaper, but the difference is not too big. If you see this, go and pick it, and then no one will buy it, so I will send it to the pharmacy with Gastrodia to sell it, and there will definitely be people who will know the goods. ”

Good boy! As soon as Erya's words fell, they disappeared! Get! Regardless of them, I saw several beehives just now, how can I get the beehives away without being chased by Fengzi? It's a bit of a headache!

When the sun was in the west, they all came back one by one. Everyone has more or less in their hands, and they all come back with white fungus.

Erya was also very happy: "Ah! You've all picked it up? This should be rare, you're all in luck! ”

All of them are excited, hehe, hey, laughing!

A large family carried the basket on their backs, returned to the resting place to put down the baskets, and began to collect the cages. When Erya looked inside the first cage, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood. Originally, Erya thought that she could trap at least five or six rabbits, but only two of them were shrunk in crutches, and then two weasels were jumping around inside. "These two scourges!" Er Ya gritted her teeth and hated to kick these two things to death. As a result, the uncle said that he was going to release the thing.

"How is that possible! Don't let go. Bring it back to raise seeds, its tail hair can be used as a brush, its skin can be used as a leather coat, and it is very useful! Be a professional weasel farmer and make a fortune! Erya said hatefully!

Uncle they are superstitious, afraid of the weasel's revenge. Er Ya also lived in the countryside and knew their superstitions and fears of weasels. comforted the uncle: "Uncle, don't be afraid! I don't kill them, I just keep them for good food and drink! ”

Animals are also dangerously sensitive, they seem to know that Erya wants to kill them, but they have fear and avoidance of Erya!

Of the other three cages, only one had six rabbits, two with three rabbits and a weasel, and one with four rabbits and a weasel. Er Ya can't figure it out, there is food and drink this autumn, why does this weasel have to drill his cage. If you're making trouble, then I'm sorry, come home with me and do the seeding!

Er Ya was very dissatisfied with this result, but the uncle, the second uncle and a few children kept giggling happily!

Erya urges everyone to move quickly, if you are earlier, maybe you don't have to get home in the middle of the night!

Before leaving, I went to Gastrodia and put a stone to mark it, otherwise it would be difficult to find it when the seedlings of Gastrodia were completely withered!

The eldest uncle and the second uncle each carried two large cages, the doors of the cages were fixed with things, and the rabbit and weasel were still inside. The rest, each with his own back basket, with a pheasant skewer around his neck, hurried all the way!

When I got home, it was just time, and the time in the afterlife was seven to nine o'clock. The family was busy for a while because they came back! those who make food, boil water, carry things, and light torches; Even Anzi and Xiaolong followed the tea to drink with the uncle and the second uncle!

"Daddy! Drink! ”

"Uncle! Drink! ”

The uncle watched Xiaolong carefully hold the bowl and quickly took it. With the other hand, he grabbed the little dragon and placed it on his lap.

The second uncle also learned from the eldest brother and picked up Anzi.

The brothers are very excited today, and perhaps today's harvest is just a drop in the bucket, but what they have made this trip to the mountains makes them look forward to the good days ahead! That's a mountain full of treasures! Life makes them miss these years.

In the yard, Xiaohu first took out some mountain grapes and washed them for the red fruits, and the rest were put on the big dustpan one by one to cool down! Erya looked at so many grapes and didn't move! Let's make wine, it's been two days and one night, and we're drying raisins, right? Aren't you too small? Don't use a magnifying glass when it's dried! No matter, let the little tiger toss! Laizi brought a smaller dustpan and placed the white fungus on it one by one, and the serious Cheng dΓΉ was no less serious and careful than the demolition man when he defused the bomb.

The eldest aunt and the second aunt cooked delicious food and let them, the heroes, eat it. They ran to the yard with torches, and happily counted the pheasants tied into several strings and the rabbits in the cages. Seeing that the weasel is also yelling, it's going to be released! Erya resolutely disagreed, they had no choice but to watch in horror!

After eating, Erya separated the weasels in the cage and locked them together, and a female rabbit who was pregnant with a baby rabbit was placed in a cage alone.

Er Ya waited for everyone to finish eating, and then talked about the arrangements for the next day: "Early tomorrow morning." I went to the town with Xiaohu to sell pheasants, and the rabbits didn't buy them for the time being. I want to keep the rabbit skin and make a leather jacket for Xiaolong and Anzi! If there are many, make a pair of snow boots for Hongguo. Anyone else who wants to come with us, sign up now! Uncle and second uncle, why don't you two go to one? ”

Uncle shook his head: "I have to borrow a saw tomorrow, and then I will get those fungus trees and mushroom trees back." Get a long bamboo pole and use it for chestnuts! ”

The second uncle looked at a few children and asked, "Do you want to go?" If you want to go, you can go, and I won't go. I'm keeping these things in order at home. You'll have to leave early the day after tomorrow, and you'll all have to go to bed early tomorrow night. ”

Several boys shouted in unison, "I want to go!" ”

decided to go to the town, and the second aunt asked the eldest aunt and the second aunt to put the white fungus on the dustpan tomorrow to dry in the sun!

"Auntie, the sun will come out tomorrow, and you must take the dustpan with white fungus out to dry. Be sure to handle it gently when turning it over, especially after drying, it is very brittle and easy to break. Also, that chestnut, we will take some to the town tomorrow to explore the way, see if there are any restaurants to collect, the leftovers, you peel some at home, and when I come back, I want to make a chestnut roast chicken for grandpa and his family to eat! ”

When the second girl spoke, the uncle and the others nodded straight. The uncle also explained: "Child, that white fungus is a precious thing, you have to be lighter!" ”

The eldest aunt pushed the uncle's arm funny, "You are so worried about me, do I have heavy hands?" As he spoke, he gently grabbed the uncle's waist! Today is also happy, if it was before, she really wouldn't be in the mood to flirt with the child's father!

Erya watched the aunt make love to the uncle and was smiling. Then I suddenly remembered something: "That's right! Uncle, I want to send two skinned rabbit meat to my grandfather and his family, do you have time to kill them tomorrow? ”

The second uncle was busy receiving it next to him: "It's okay, I'll kill it tomorrow!" ”

The second aunt asked the second uncle next to her: "You dare to kill rabbits?" ”

The second uncle rolled his eyes, with a hint of self-satisfaction: "What's not to dare to do!" ”

Erya held back a smile and said, "That's good! This matter is solved, I have nothing to do, uncle, second uncle, aunt, second aunt; Do you have anything else to do? ”

The uncle, the uncle, the aunt and the aunt all shook their heads in unison.

"Then Xiaohu and I will go back first, Xiaolong will sleep with Anzi tonight. Brother Daman, Xiangzi, Dahong, Laizi, you will continue to put on that sandbag tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, the end of the day, the first time to come to my house. It's not too early, you all have a good rest! Uncle and aunt; Second uncle and aunt, let's go, you guys should rest early! Erya lowered her head and kissed Xiaolong, who was eating grapes, and stood up and took Xiaohu's hand to prepare to leave.

In fact, Xiaohu wanted to sit for a while, but seeing that Erya had already stood up and said hello, he had to say hello to the uncle's family and the second uncle's family, and went back with Erya!

When she got home, Erya hurriedly boiled water and prepared to take a bath. Although I didn't do much work, I was still very tired after this journey. She took a bath by herself and boiled a pot of water for Xiaohu to bathe. After such a toss, it was the middle of the night.

By the time Xiaohu went to bed, Erya had already fallen asleep beautifully.

Off topic: If you have something tomorrow, pause for a day! I'm so sorry!
