Chapter 13: A Gift for the Elders
"Canglong, this village can't stay anymore, let's go with you......" Zhang Wenge said in a muffled voice after everyone discussed the results.
"Where does Uncle want to go??" Nie Canglong's request to Zhang Wenge was not very unexpected, after the attack of the finches and wild wolves in his hometown, this small village is no longer safe, and if he lives here, he may not come out with a bunch of mutated wild animals one day.
"Of course I'm going to Handan......" Bian Lanlan's eyes lit up, and she said.
"Weishenme is going to Handan???" Nie Canglong glanced at Bian Lanlan and asked.
"Why ????" Zhang Tonghai smiled, "Lan Lan can't wait to be a sister-in-law......"
"I'm happy to ......" Bian Lanlan glared at Zhang Tonghai viciously, "What's wrong with my brother??" I think my brother is quite haode, this shijie, a person as pure as my brother, basically no more......"
"Yes, yes......" Zhang Tonghai laughed and nodded again and again.
"Where to go...... Zhang Wenge took a puff of cigarette, "Let's go and see......" The words were already a disguised rejection of Bian Lanlan's proposal.
"Brother, you father and daughter follow us, and we have no opinion, but you have to have a destination...... " Zheng Dongfang was a little troubled.
Zhang Wenge just smoked a cigarette and didn't say a word, the more stuffy a person is, the more difficult it is for people to guess his thoughts.
"Otherwise......" Nie Canglong thought for a while, "I will send Xiaojun and Chuanxi back to Xiangxi, maybe Chuanxi will stay in Xiangxi, but my father is in Beijing, Xiaojun and I will definitely go back to Beijing, and when the time comes, you will go back to Beijing with us to get ......."
"Who wants to go back to Beijing with you......" Qin Xiaojun's little face turned red and retorted in a low voice.
"Hmm......" Zhang Wenge glanced at Nie Canglong and nodded, "That's it......"
"Since that's the case, then let's decide, let's set off tomorrow morning...... Zheng Dongfang breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's use the time of the day today to prepare all the food and drink on the road, after all, we are walking on two legs, even if we go to the nearest city, it is not a matter of a day or two......
"I'm going to cook the meat and ......" Zhang Wenge turned around and went into the house, brushing the pot while shouting to the east house: "Hua'er, Chuanxi doesn't need you there, hurry up and come out to steam steamed buns, baking flatbread, let's go with you Brother Nie and them tomorrow......"
"Alas......" Zhang Xiaohuaer hurriedly responded, walked out of the house, washed her hands, scooped out the white noodles from the noodle jar, and began to steam steamed buns and baked flatbread.
"Let's not be idle, let's all get busy...... Canglong, you first cut the belly and limbs of these wolves, it will be easier for us to clean up, the female comrades can cook, they will help cook, and those who can't cook, when the wolf skin is peeled out after a while, the wolf skin will be sewn into a tent, and at night, we can also have a place to rest......" Zheng Dongfang began to assign tasks.
"I can't cook, I can't sew tents, so what am I doing???" When Qin Xiaojun said this, he didn't blush at all, on the contrary, he was quite arrogant and natural.
"Nothing, just don't make a mess......" Zheng Dongfang said helplessly.
"Oh......" Qin Xiaojun replied proudly and yawned, "I was frightened early in the morning, and my spirit was not good, I will go back to the house to make up for sleep, you are busy, I won't bother......" said, turned around and went into the house to sleep.
"Tut-tut......" Looking at Qin Xiaojun's back, Zheng Dongfang sighed, what a superb woman, and Nie Canglong are a perfect match.
"Uncle Zheng, what you said is easy, this wolf skin, we can't ...... it," Bian Lanlan said.
"That's it, I couldn't pierce it with a knife just now...... Zhao Wanhai said.
"Canglong, when the wolf skin is peeled out, remember to cut them all into regular rectangles, in units of half a meter, on the edge, every inch piercing an eye...... Zheng Dongfang said.
"Okay......" Nie Canglong doesn't care, anyway, Qin Xiaojun's Miao knife is sharp enough, and it is not difficult to cut the wolf skin at all.
"Comrade Bian Lanlan, I solemnly warn you, don't call me uncle......" Zheng Dongfang looked at Bian Lanlan with a serious face.
"If you don't scream, you won't scream, what's the big deal??" Bian Lanlan pursed her lips, "Then in the future, I will call you Brother Zheng......
"......" Zheng Dongfang was speechless, "Okay, okay, you guys hurry up and go into the house......" waved his hand.
"Brother Zheng, what's wrong with us in the courtyard??? Let's take a look......" Bian Lanlan's eyes rolled, "Wouldn't there be some ulterior motives for being in such a hurry to drive us away??? "This girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she has a fight with Nie Canglong, otherwise, she would not have robbed her hometown with Qin Xiaojun at the beginning.
"This, you have to skin the wolf for a while, the bloody paste is too bloody, after you female comrades see it, you female comrades are prone to nightmares at night......" Zheng Dongfang said justifiably, but his heart was a little empty, it was really Bian Lanlan, who was a woman, her eyes were too bright, just like looking at a demon mirror, which could show the little dirtiness in people's hearts.
"It's bloody enough, and it's cruel enough......" Bian Lanlan glanced at the men present disdainfully, "Then you guys are busy, we promise not to peek at ......"
"That ......" Zheng Dongfang's face turned red all of a sudden, and he said embarrassedly: "We can understand, after all, the blood is messy, and it makes people's hearts hairy when they look at it......"
"Sisters, let's hurry into the house, there will be a bloody show in a while, and I don't know how many of the more than two hundred wolves are male...... Snort, cut too much, who has nightmares at night, I really can't tell......" Bian Lanlan sneered, twisted her waist and swung her hips into the house.
The female comrades glanced at each other, forced a smile, and followed Bian Lanlan into the house.
"What are you doing in a daze?? Let's hurry up and get to work......" Zheng Dongfang looked at the women who entered the house, embarrassed and almost found a hole in the ground, looked at the gay men who covered their mouths and snickered, and said angrily: "If anyone thinks it is bloody, go into the house to cook with the lesbians, what's the good thing, don't blame me for not thinking about you ......"
"That, hurry up and get to work......" Zhang Tonghai hurriedly squatted down and began to skin the wolf.
"Yes, yes, yes, work......" Everyone coped, laughed, squatted down, and dismembered the wolf meat.
"Tell you, don't hide it privately, when the time comes, our sixteen masters ......will be divided equally," Zheng Dongfang whispered, and also joined the ranks of dismembering the wild wolf.
"Hey, hey......" Zhao Wanhai smiled, "What if the male wolf isn't the whole size of sixteen??? zuihou how to divide ??? ”
"Canglong's credit is the greatest, and the extra ones belong to him, and the big guys must have no opinion......" Zheng Dongfang glanced at Nie Canglong and said.
"Don't count me, my brother is in good health, you don't need that thing, you can divide it yourself......" Nie Canglong hurriedly took himself out, the expression on his face was very complicated, like ridicule, smugness, disdain, in short, it was the kind that made people feel uncomfortable when they saw it.
"Who wants that??" Zhang Tonghai pretended to be surprised, looked left and right, "We're still children, we don't need to ...... that thing."
"What's that, we don't seem to need it, but our dad needs it, since you don't need Lao Zhang, then your share will be mine......" Zhao Wanhai didn't hesitate to put his father on the fire and roast it.
"Why, my father's health is not good, and it is the time to make up for it......" Zhang Tonghai immediately said with a frown.
"Hey......" Zheng Dongfang laughed mockingly, "You have been talking for a long time, thinking that I can't hear it??? You just want to eat it yourself, and you pull your daddy out...... It's really dishonest, and it's not filial......"
"Uncle, you are honest, then you tell us, what do you want this thing for???" Zhang Tonghai pursed his lips, quite disdainful of people like Zheng Dongfang, who are cheap and well-behaved.
"Do you need to say that?? I air-dried it and gave it to my father-in-law as a greeting gift...... "Zheng Dongfang will never roast his father on the fire, but his daughter-in-law's father, then it's not good."
"Cut ......" Zhang Tonghai and Zhao Wanhai made a gesture of contempt towards Zheng Dongfang at the same time.
"What are you talking about??? Anyway, it's all for the elders, and our purpose is the same......"
"As a child, can you not think about your father who raised us with hard work, can you do your filial piety for the elderly, and your father will love us in vain."
"There is a saying that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, the son wants to raise but does not wait, while the father and mother are alive, it is right to do your filial piety, let's not delay, hurry up and clean it up......",
A group of old men were shouting and shouting, and they carried their elders out of the top tank.
"Beasts, they are all beasts......" Nie Canglong listened on the side, and couldn't help but secretly despise these bastards, but it's none of their business, hang high, people talk about their father, we don't care.
With a legitimate reason, everyone is more justified when they cut it, while cutting, they are still talking about their father, and some obscene people also talk about their mother, and Nie Canglong, who is disemboweling the wolf, can't cry or laugh.
Nie Canglong relied on the treasure knife in his hand, and the work was very neat, breaking the tough wolf skin, only one knife was needed, and the kung fu in everyone's hands was not slow, the wolf skin was peeled off more and more, and by noon, all the wolf skins had been peeled off, so that Nie Canglong cut into pieces of rectangular fur, and on the edge of the fur, pierced a row of small holes.
The most complete wolf skin is the 'demolition team members' killed by Xiaoqing, however, those 'demolition team members' were poisoned, so their meat is not edible, but the skin can be used, and a few tents can be made when peeled off, but when they are peeled, they must wear thick gloves.
Zheng Dongfang They have some trouble when cutting wolf meat, the elasticity of wolf meat is very good, and it is also very easy to cut, but the wolf tendon is extremely tough, as a last resort, they can only pull out the wolf tendon, in this way, the wolf skin is easier to sew, use the wolf tendon to make silk threads, just wear them, it is stronger and more durable than using hemp rope.
A few women moved a small bench, sat in the yard, put on the wolf skin with wolf tendons, put it into a large piece of fur, and a few old men who finished cleaning up the wolf meat helped to clean up the wolf skin, first using a wooden hammer to smash the seams of the splicing haode large piece of wolf skin, so that the two pieces of wolf skin were connected more closely, and then smeared grass and wood ash on the inside of the wolf skin, and simply made it.
"The conditions do not allow, it can only be made into a mosquito net, speaking of which, it would be better if there were pillars, but unfortunately, if you get a pillar again, there will be too many things, and the trip ......will be delayed," Zheng Dongfang said.
Mosquito nets are tied to the corners of the tent, and the other end of the rope is tied to the tree, and the tent is propped up by the pull of the rope.
"There are not many things, we still have an old cow at home, when the time comes, take the old cow with you, what kind of guy put the cow on the back, ......there is no problem at all" Zhang Wenge walked out of the house, the cigarette bag pot was inserted in the waistband of his trousers, and the house was already full of stewed a pot of wolf meat, more than two hundred wolves, and there were several pots to stew.
"And the old scalper???" Zheng Dongfang's eyes lit up, "Why didn't you see it??? ”
"There are cowherds in the village who specialize in raising cattle, and they raise their cattle for him, and a cow pays him a management fee of 200 yuan a year...... "Zhang Wenge said.
"That's good, let's make tent pillars to ...... now" Zheng Dongfang was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled Nie Canglong to chop firewood and make tent pillars, poor Miao Zhai inherited treasure, first made a cameo appearance in a pig-killing knife, and then, he had to play the role of a firewood knife again.
Zheng Dongfang and Nie Canglong went into the forest together, and specially picked up small trees with thick arms to cut down, such a tree is just the right thickness, too thick and heavy, inconvenient to carry, and easy to bend if it is thin.
Miao knife to kill the wolf is like chopping vegetables and cutting melons, cutting trees is not ambiguous, a knife down, there is a small tree groaning and falling, the break is extremely smooth.
"In other words, Xiaojun girl's knife is really a good baby, if it weren't for this knife today, we would definitely not be easy......" Zheng Dongfang sighed while cleaning up the fallen tree.
"If you let Xiaojun know that we use her treasure knife as a firewood knife, I can guarantee that she will definitely let her Xiaoqing kiss us......" Nie Canglong muttered vigorously in his mouth.
"Make the best use of things, aren't we in a hurry???" Zheng Dongfang sneered, "If you don't say it, I won't say it, I'll explain it to you when I go back, it's absolutely impossible for Xiaojun girl to know......"
"Hmph......" Nie Canglong pursed his lips and cut off a small tree with the thickness of an arm.
Crash......
The little tree fell, and the branches scratched at the next tree, making a clattering sound.
Yo Yo Yo ......
Suddenly, in the sound of the branches scraping, there were a few more noises, Nie Canglong's body shook, his ears fluttered slightly, and he listened carefully. ,
"Like, something??? Zheng Dongfang also became nervous, and the cold hairs on his body stood up.
"You lie on the ground......" Nie Canglong held the knife tightly, his eyes slowly looked around, and said slowly.
"You be careful,......" Zheng Dongfang instructed, and his figure slowly fell to the ground.
"Ha......" Nie Canglong swept the surrounding forests aside, but he didn't find any figures, and couldn't help but let out a loud shout, and the sound spread in the forest, like thunder.
Yo Yo Yo ......
There was another scream, with a deep horror in the cry, and gradually went away, Nie Canglong followed the sound and looked, only to see a beautiful sika deer, like a little elf, jumping in the forest, quickly running into the depths of the forest.
"What is ????" Zheng Dongfang was lying on the ground, and he also felt that something was running.
"It's a sika deer, you go to the tree and wait for me, I'll go and catch it back......" Nie Canglong's eyes lit up, dragging his knife, and quickly chased after the sika deer.
"Hey, why did you leave me alone???" Zheng Dongfang was anxious and wanted to call Nie Canglong back, who knew that Nie Canglong's speed was also very fast, and he had disappeared without a trace.
"This bastard boy, it's too 2......" Zheng Dongfang scolded angrily, his eyes swept the surrounding environment, maybe psychological factors played a big role, he only felt that the surroundings were gloomy and terrifying, "Wait for you to come back, see how I clean you up, you use Xiaojun's treasure knife as a firewood knife, I have to tell Xiaojun not to ......" muttered, feeling that this forest was becoming more and more gloomy, so he could only find a thick tree nearby, and then climbed up slowly.
Zheng Dongfang waited on the tree for about an hour, only to hear the sound of the dead grass being moved, this sound made his heart tighten, and when he looked at the sound, he saw a huge sika deer, dragged out of the forest by Nie Canglong with an antler.
"Bastard, why did you go to your ???" Zheng Dongfang slipped down from the tree, narrowed his eyes, and spitted at Nie Canglong.
"Uncle Zheng......" Nie Canglong touched his face and said with a smile: "Aren't I looking for a means of transportation??? You also know that Chuanxi is still in a coma, so when we go on the road, do you still have to let me carry him??? ”
"Count yourself reasonable...... Zheng Dongfang's face was still a little dark, "But today's matter, I must have a good talk to Xiaojun girl, your irresponsible behavior must be criticized, and it will be criticized fiercely......"
"Uncle, if you say that, you'll be bored, why do you still make a small report??? It's a big deal, when we get to Xiangxi, I will give you the deer directly, I heard that deer antlers, deer fetus, and deer blood are all great supplements......" Nie Canglong's face changed, if he talked about it, Qin Xiaojun would definitely ask them why they went, and then, the matter of using the treasure knife as a firewood knife would definitely not be able to hide it.
You're not specifically going to catch deer??? So what did you do??? As soon as you say it, you will be exposed......
"This is what you said......" Zheng Dongfang's face looked a little better, after all, the two have only known each other for a few days, and the relationship is not very deep, this matter should not be studied deeply, otherwise it will not be good to find out the rift, the other party will lose it, and he can only go downhill.
"Of course...... of course," Nie Canglong hurriedly smiled.
Then, the two cut off all the branches on the small tree, repaired them into sticks, and then tied them up, carried them on their shoulders one by one, and returned to Zhang Wenge's house.
