Chapter 59: Playing Chess

In the afternoon, after Zhuang Zihao returned from Lao Hu's house, he entered the back mountain.

Because there were not many medicinal materials for making anesthetics, when Lao Hu asked him to help find medicinal materials, he agreed.

"The medicinal materials needed for anesthetics seem to be there, mandala flowers, raw grass black, all angelica, angelica, angelica, Sichuan Qiong, fried Nanxing......"

Zhuang Zihao muttered quietly in his mouth, recalling the medicinal herbs written on the prescription.

Zhuang Zihao walked cautiously in the forest.

He is not in a hurry to find medicinal herbs, now he is mainly looking for a place to take refuge.

But this place is not so easy to find, anyway, let's take it step by step.

"Let's shoot some prey first, and the meat at home is almost eaten."

Zhuang Zihao was looking for it, and he didn't forget to hunt, but it was all small things, pheasants and hares.

He threw all the prey into the space.

"Alas! It's a snake again! ”

Zhuang Zihao crushed a green snake that attacked him with his bare hands.

This snake is venomous, and the poison is still very strong.

There is everything in this back mountain, it is very dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life.

The snake in his hand was also put into the space, and this poisonous snake was quite valuable when sold to the drugstore.

He didn't know how many snakes he had encountered along the way, poisonous and non-venomous.

But there weren't many who attacked him.

I couldn't find a place on the outside, so I walked inside, and the closer I got to the inner perimeter, the more dangerous it became, but the inner perimeter would be safer at that time.

On the way to find it, two more yellow-haired foxes were hit, and a family of wild boars, but the tigers were not encountered.

The fur of those two foxes is also good, and they can save more in the future as a dowry for their sister.

Mother, that can't be missing, it's a pity that I didn't see the mink, and the fur of that thing is also very good-looking.

This search was an afternoon, and seeing that the time was not early, I ran down the mountain.

Except for some prey, there was nothing to be gained in the afternoon.

However, he also knew that this matter was not urgent.

I took a big basket from the space, which contained half a basket of pigweed, took a few pheasants and hares and put them in the basket, and put a silly roe deer, and piled up a full of pigweed on the basket, and this cover was laid.

He had already cut the pigweed and put it in space, and now he just needs to take it out and use it.

Zhuang Zihao rushed home with pigweed on his back.

On the way, I met a few more villagers.

Zhuang Zihao felt that this village was very strange, and no one in this village liked to come to his house, even a few aunts in the village who loved to chew their tongues.

When you meet on the road, it's just an ordinary hello, and at most you can say a few words.

He always felt as if his family was isolated, so his father said that it was not easy for him to settle down in this village, he believed it, he could see that this village was very xenophobic, and there were fewer outsiders in this village, just three.

still includes his family, as well as the old Hu family and the old Chen in the east of the village, the one who has never married a daughter-in-law.

What a strange village.

"I'm back!"

When he walked into the courtyard gate, he saw that his father was playing chess with his second brother again, and this time his third brother was also watching from the sidelines, and his mother and sister were cooking in the kitchen.

It seems that he came back quite in time, and he ate at home later.

"Mother, I came back from hunting a few pheasants and a stupid roe deer."

"The meat of the stupid roe deer is the most tender!"

Thinking about the roe deer meat I had eaten before, my mouth watered.

"Oh, there's a stupid roe deer today!"

Su Huiniang was pleasantly surprised, this roe deer meat was delicious, fresh and tender.

"Mother, do you want to do it tonight, if you do it, I'll clean it up now."

Zhuang Zihao looked at his mother with glowing eyes.

"Do it, why don't you do it, go ahead, let's stew a roe deer meat tonight, it's still early anyway."

looked at the greedy little son and said with a smile.

"Mother is so good, hehe!"

Zhuang Zihao smiled stupidly.

"Go, look at you stupid!"

Su Huiniang laughed jokingly.

"Mmmm, I'll go now, buy it and clean it up."

Zhuang Zihao ran to the backyard with a stupid roe deer weighing more than 20 catties.

"I'll go, I forgot to take the tool!"

Zhuang Zihao hung the roe deer on the tree before he remembered that he didn't take the tools, and ran back to the front yard to get the tools.

It only took a few minutes to remove the roe deer skin completely.

The roe deer was disemboweled, the heart, liver, spleen and lungs inside were dismantled, and sent to the front yard for his mother.

He took the hare back to the backyard to clean up, and the pheasant was left to his sisters to clean up. He didn't get back much rabbits, just four, two a day, and he could eat them all in two days.

This rabbit likes to eat cold rabbit the most, and it can be used as a meal, a snack, or a snack.

His dad also likes to eat, especially when he drinks.

Since the conditions of the family have improved, the food at home has also improved a lot.

There was meat on the table every day, especially after he often brought prey to his home.

Most of the prey that comes from hunting is eaten, and few are sold, and there are many of them that will spoil.

Zhuang Zihao finished the roe deer skin and rabbit skin before returning to the front yard.

He went back to the room and took a change of clothes and went to the bathroom to take a bath, and then sat at the stone table to watch his father and his brothers play chess, and they had such a hobby.

Bored yawn!

Sitting there in a daze, waiting for their mothers to cook.

"Zijie, you lost!"

Father Zhuang said happily.

"Well, it's a loss, or is it a great dad!"

Zhuang Zijie looked at the losing chess game.

"Zi'an, you're coming!"

Zhuang Zijie got up and gave up his position.

"Okay, Daddy, let's try it!"

Zhuang Zi'an said excitedly.

"Okay, Dad, look at your current level!"

"Zi'an, you have to hold on for a while, don't be beaten by your father and leave no armor behind."

Thinking about the third brother who was not even as good as him, he shook his head.

Sure enough, halfway through the general, the third brother was blocked by his father.

"Dad, why don't you let me go, it's only halfway down, how miserable!"

Zhuang Zi'an's little heart received a serious blow from his father.

"Third brother, Dad is merciful, otherwise you won't even be able to get off half of it!"

Zhuang Zijie, who was standing on the side, said with a smile.

"Ah, I'm so bad at this game!"

Zhuang Zi'an was incredibly skeptical.

"Well, there's still progress!"

Daddy Zhuang said comfortingly.

"Really, Daddy?"

Zhuang Zian looked at his father with distrust.

"Ahem, really!"

Father Zhuang thought for a while and said.

It's better not to hit my son too hard.

"Hehe~"

Zhuang Zijie watched silently on the side and didn't speak, and chuckled.

In fact, the third brother played wrong, mainly because his father's chess level was too high.

If the third brother compares with outsiders, the level is still above average.

"Zihao, why don't you come to a game too."

Zhuang Zi'an looked at his younger brother who was in a daze on the side, and thought to himself, I finally found someone who is worse than me, hehe.

Zhuang Zian snickered in his heart.

"Well, what's going on for a game."

Zhuang Zihao came back to his senses and looked at the third brother suspiciously.

"Play chess, Zihao will also have a game."

Zhuang Zi'an looked at the chessboard and said.

"No, third brother, I don't like to play chess!"

Zhuang Zihao refused.

"Zihao, let's have a game, let my father see your level, how can our children not play chess!"

Zhuang's father also followed his son to join in the fun.

"Okay, then Dad, let's have a game, just a game!"

His father said so, and he couldn't refuse.

"Zihao, you come and sit here!"

Zhuang Zi'an got up and gave up his position to his younger brother.

"Dad, do you use white or black seeds?"

Zhuang Zihao watched the second brother take back the black and white chess pieces on the chess game.

"Baizi!"

Daddy Zhuang thought about it and said.

"Then I'll use sunspots, I'll go first!"

After speaking, Zhuang Zihao made a son in the lower left.

"Dad, it's your turn."

After getting down, he said.

"Hmm!"

And so the father and son got down.

"Second brother, fourth brother seems to be better than me."

Looking at the chess pieces that had already passed halfway, Zhuang Zi'an said in frustration, he originally wanted to find someone who played worse than him!

Alas!

"Well, it's better than you, so you still have to practice, don't stay in the study all day and read."

The brothers talked quietly.

"I know, second brother."

Zhuang Zi'an nodded and said.

"Second brother, second brother, look, Zihao is about to surpass you!"

Zhuang Zi'an looked at the chess game excitedly.
