Chapter 26: The Helpless Hunter
readx;??? It didn't take long for many to be caught. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as Lian Fangzhou raised his eyes to look at the shore, he called Lian Ze with a smile: "Oh, enough is enough!" No matter how much we can't take! Let's come back tomorrow! Let's catch it again! ”
Lian Ze thinks about it, there are still many mushrooms in the forest! Moreover, they haven't gone anywhere else, and when they do, there must be more mushrooms...... So, for sure, we will come again.
At this time, there is no need for Lian Fangzhou to say it, even Lian Ze has to come.
People tend to be afraid of the unknown, but if you see it with your own eyes, you will know that it is nothing more than that. Lian Ze's mood at this time was exactly like this.
"Sister, there's wild plantain over there, I'll pick some leaves and wrap these shrimp!" Lian Ze pointed above the stream.
Lian Fangzhou followed what he was pointing at, and sure enough, he saw a cluster of four or five wild plantains growing not far in front of him, which was not very high, only more than two meters. He smiled and said, "Then you go quickly, I'll pack up these shrimps!" ”
For a while, Lian Ze picked the banana leaves, and the two wrapped the green shrimp they caught, and Lian Fangzhou weighed it, about two or three catties. He smiled and said, "It's a pity, it would be nice if it was convenient to bring a bucket!" ”
So far, obviously, it is impossible.
But now, she is not qualified to find fault with live shrimp and dead shrimp and the like, besides, the wild prawns in this mountain, even if they are brought back so far, they taste good, right?
"Bucket? How can that work! So bulky! Lian Ze was taken aback and said with wide eyes, startled by his sister's proposal!
Even Fangzhou was stunned, and then remembered that there are no lightweight plastic barrels in this era, and there are wooden barrels at home, which are not bulky!
Imagining walking on the road with a wooden barrel, she couldn't help but laugh herself, and said with a smile: "It's my sister who is confused!" Look at what that's said! ”
Lian Ze also laughed, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, scratched his head and smiled: "Sister scared me!" ”
At this time, the sun had just passed noon, and it was still a long time before Sun Changxing said that he would come back, and when he was leaving, he said that there was a wild jujube forest not far from the east, which bore a lot of fruit, and there was a yam vine near the edge of the jujube forest to the north, and they could pick some dates, dig some yams, make a fire, and roast them to satisfy their hunger.
The two rested for a while, and then followed the place pointed out by Sun Changxing.
Sure enough, there were twenty or thirty wild jujube forests of all sizes, some of them were still small and did not bear fruit, and the fruit-bearing fruits were all decorated with branches, and the dark red jujubes were big and full, and they were full of trees.
As soon as I arrived at the edge of the forest, I smelled a faint fresh jujube fragrance coming to my face.
"So many dates!" Lian Ze was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the big and red ones, picked a few, and then ran over and handed them to Lian Fangzhou, raised a smile and said, "Sister! ”
Lian Fangzhou took it with a smile, wiped it with his hand casually and took a bite, the entrance was crisp, sweet and juicy, so he nodded at him and smiled: "It tastes really good!" ”
"Let's pick some and take them home! Qing'er and Che'er definitely like it too! Lian Ze said with a smile. No matter what good things are, he never forgets those two little ones.
Lian Fangzhou naturally had no opinion, just smiled: "Bring less today, and we'll come tomorrow!" ”
Lian Ze was stunned: "Will you come back tomorrow?" ”
"Of course!" Lian Fangzhou nodded without hesitation and said with a smile: "Anyway, we already know the way, so we can come by ourselves tomorrow, and we don't have to go back so early, after picking the mushrooms!" Taking advantage of the good weather these days, let's pick more mushrooms and bring them back to dry, not only can we keep some for ourselves to cook, but also sell a few money to subsidize the family! ”
I can't help but spend the ten taels of silver I got from retiring from my relatives, and I've already used up some of the roof, and I still have more things to buy!
"That's what my sister said!" Lian Ze nodded.
The jujube tree was full of fruit, and it was heavy on the branches, and the sisters and brothers were picking and eating while talking, and soon they did not feel hungry.
However, this date can only be managed for a while, but it can't last too long, the journey back is not far, and you have to pick up two bags of mushrooms, which is physical work.
So Lian Fangzhou still found a few yams with Lian Ze and dug a few roots.
This is a real wild yam, which grows flat and twists in some places - it must have been turned by a hard stone when it grows.
Each one is about two or three fingers wide, the long one has half an arm, and the short one has only one palm, which is not neat or irregular.
However, when it is roasted, it tastes very good.
Broken from it, the hot aroma comes to the face, the snow is as white as the inside, and the mouth is glutinous and glutinous, which makes people appetite.
Not to mention Lian Fangzhou - this is an authentic natural wild green food, and Lian Ze is full of praise for it.
Then the two of them dug up three or four more roots, washed them with water, wrapped them in leaves, and brought them back to cook and eat.
After eating and drinking, and seeing that the time was almost up, the two of them didn't go anywhere, they had to rest and rest to maintain their strength, so they picked up a place with the sun and sat down to rest.
The autumn afternoon sun shines warmly on the body, and from time to time the autumn wind blows, blowing the leaves with a rustling sound, both of them are a little tired, and they fall asleep unconsciously, until they are woken up by Sun Changxing.
The two rubbed their eyes and smiled, greeted Sun Changxing a few words, and saw a string of pheasants and pheasants with flowery green feathers hanging on Sun Changxing's shoulders, as well as two fat hares, both of them couldn't help but be very envious, and said with a smile: "Uncle Sun has gained a lot today!" ”
Who knew that Sun Changxing smiled bitterly and sighed lightly: "It's all small things, not worth much!" ”
"Isn't it worth much! How could it be! Lian Ze was surprised.
Sun Changxing just smiled again and said, "We are not close to the county seat, otherwise there are so many restaurants in the county, of course we won't worry about sales!" Therefore, it can only be sold to a few large households such as Zhou Landlord, Zhu Yuanwai, and Master Zhao, and they all know that no one will buy it except them, and I can't afford to keep it for food, so the price given is not high! Unless you hunt mountain otters, gray sables, gray squirrels, muntjacs, etc., the fur can be worth a few more dollars, or a big goat, wild boar, you can also exchange a few more dollars! Of course, that kind of luck doesn't happen very often. ”
When he said these words, Sun Changxing's expression was slightly annoyed, and even Fangzhou knew that he was telling the truth, not perfunctory to their sister and brother, let alone pretending to complain with self-satisfaction.
Originally, even Fangzhou was still a little puzzled: such a large forest is equivalent to an endless treasure house, why is Sun Changxing still so poor after hunting here for so many years?
Today she finally understood.
He doesn't know the treasures of the mountains, he only knows how to hunt, and this treasure is equivalent to half of it.
And hunting is not enough with skill, it also requires luck and time.
If you don't encounter valuable prey, you will naturally not get much, but most of the large beasts live in the depths of the forest, and Sun Changxing does not dare to go alone even if his archery skills are good.
The forest was so big that it was full of innumerable dangers, especially at night, so he had to come in the morning and go back in the afternoon. In just such a little time, how much chance can you hunt something valuable? Many hunters go into the mountains to hunt, but they toss and turn in the mountains for days or even more than ten days in a row.
No wonder before dawn he was in a hurry to go out. It's just that the time that can be bought in this way is actually a little bit more, and the utility is almost equal to zero.
Thinking about it like this, even Fang Zhou figured it out.
She couldn't help but glance at Sun Changxing with a little sympathy.
Sun Changxing's gaze happened to glance over inadvertently, and happened to meet Lian Fangzhou's gaze, he couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately turned his gaze, slightly unhappy in his heart: Calling a little girl sympathetic, he doesn't seem to be so bad, right? (Markor Literature)
