Chapter 11: Killing the Pig 2

The two came out of the house, and after Lao Zheng Tou washed his hands, he went to the house to pour out the medicine for Zhou Fu to drink. After some tossing, Zhou Fu fell asleep again.

Zhou Nan and Gao Yun asked Lao Zheng Tou Haosheng to take care of Zhou Fu and left together. After Zhou Nan and Gao Yun came to Gao Yuan's house, Gao Yuan sat alone at home, watched the two come back, and asked Zhou Fu how he was, Zhou Nan vaguely said that he had taken medicine and slept. Gao Yuan frowned and sighed: "This time I hurt Brother Wednesday, but I didn't fight a boar, but I taught people to be shameless." Zhou Nan persuaded two sentences, then asked about the matter of hunting the boar, Gao Yuan said: "At this time, the boar likes to go down the mountain to chew and gnaw the crops, and once the crops are destroyed, people will have no food to eat in the coming year." But this boar is cunning, and has a pair of fangs and thick skin, which is really difficult to fight. The two chatted for a while, and Gao Yun called the two to eat again. After eating, Gao Yuan said to go to see Zhou Fu and let Gao Yun sleep first, and Zhou Nan also said goodbye and left.

Since the next few days, Zhou Nan has walked around Lao Zhengtou, Gao Yuan and his own house every day, since the wound has been cleaned again, Zhou Fu's fever has also receded day by day, and Lao Zhengtou will pound the rhizomes brought by Zhou Nan every other day to give Zhou Fu a dressing. Zhou Fu's wound was like a day, and after five or six days, he was able to walk on the ground.

Gao Yuan, Lao Zheng Tou and others were full of joy, and when they looked at Zhou Nan, they were more respectful than usual. Lao Zheng Tou even asked Zhou Nan more than once in private about wine and mashed rhizomes, and Zhou Nan did not hide it, and introduced it to Lao Zheng Tou as much as possible in words that Lao Zheng Tou could accept. The wine is steamed from the wine brewed by Lao Zheng Tou, but it is steamed in a pot, and the miscellaneous items mixed with it are all gone, leaving only pure wine, according to Lao Zheng Tou's words, it is the purest and most yang thing, which can best dispel poison and destabilize; As for the rhizome used for mashing, in the countryside of Zhounan, the common people called that thing "see the swelling and disappear", the dog bites, and the poisonous sores, all use the roots and stems of that thing to mash the external application, the effect is the most effective, Zhou Nan said to the old Zheng Tou that he had seen someone bitten by a wild dog, and used this herb to treat the injury. Originally, Zhou Nan only had steamed high-grade wine, and he was worried about the effect, but when he saw "seeing the swelling and disappearing" on the road that day, he was a little less worried. Zhou Nan told Lao Zheng Tou about the medicinal effect of "seeing swelling and disappearing" and the identification of "seeing swelling and disappearing", and Lao Zheng Tou was happy.

Herbal medicine to cure diseases still makes sense, Lao Zheng Tou just wondered where Zhou Nan learned the method of steaming wine, and in Lao Zheng Tou's impression, he had never even heard of steaming wine, let alone the method of steaming wine. Gao Yuan and several people were also curious, and Zhou Nan couldn't say that he had crossed over. Can you understand it, but if you understand the meaning of crossing, it's hard to say how to deal with a "ghost" like him, what if you throw him under the cliff?

The question was anxious, and seeing that Zhou Nan didn't speak, Gao Yuan raised his eyebrows on the side and said: "Zhou Dalang is a god, and all kinds of spirits are naturally known, so he saved Zhou Fu this time." Our village has Zhou Dalang, and the mountain gods will protect it in the future. Ha ha. When everyone saw Gao Yuan interjecting, especially those who saw Zhou Nan under the thunder and lightning that day, they all felt that it was possible.

Anyway, Zhou Fu's injury made people depressed for several days feel better all of a sudden, and they always pick some mountain mushrooms during the day, set a pheasant, take them, and make up for Zhou Fu's body, by the way, take a look at Zhou Fu, giggle and laugh, and relieve Zhou Fu's boredom.

Seeing that Zhou Fu's injuries were improving, the hunters were also in high spirits, so Gao Yuan summoned everyone to discuss the matter of hunting wild boars. This time it was still gathered at Gao Yuan's house. It's just that everyone is much more cautious than last time, and there is no longer the warm atmosphere when we discussed it last time.

Zhou Nan saw that everyone was silent for a while, so he said: "Brother Gao, my body is already well, this time I will go with you to fight the boar." ”

Jia Liu kindly reminded Zhou Nan and said: "This hunting is not like traveling in the mountains and rivers, if we want to kill the prey, the prey will also hurt people." Zhou Nan nodded and said, "I naturally know, but I also hunt with the Khitans, so I know a thing or two." ”

Gao Yuan was about to object, but Zhou Nan said again: "I naturally can't compare to everyone in hunting, I just want to give everyone ideas." Tomorrow I want to go to the mountains to see the boar trail. ”

"Brother Zhou, it was at Erdaoliangzi that the boar came down along the col from the mountain, and when it came to Erdaoliangzi to chew the crops, he ran back to the mountain to hide in the morning." Zuo Xiaosi knew that Zhou Nan was not familiar with the terrain in the mountains, so he introduced it in detail.

"Let's go there and have a look, and if you are prepared, you can collect all these wild boars." Zhou Nan said. A group of people didn't pay attention to the meaning of Zhou Nan's words, and Gao Yuan said: "Tomorrow, the big guy is still ready, I, Erlang, and Fourth Brother Zuo will go to the mountain to have a look." And they all dispersed.

In the early morning of the next day, after eating, Gao Yuan and Zuo Xiaosi took bows and arrows and led Zhou Nan to Erdaoliangzi. Zhou Nan also brought a bow and arrows and a hunting knife today, he had never hunted before, even if there were Gao Yuan and Zuo Xiaosi, he still prepared just in case. He also deliberately found a piece of cloth, cut it into long strips with four fingers wide, and put leggings on his calves according to the method of leggings in the army of his time. Gao Yuan and Zuo Xiaosi glanced at Zhou Nan's strange outfit, and they were not strange these days. So the three of them went to the mountainside. After walking for almost half an hour, the three of them came to Erdaoliangzi, which is a relatively gentle terrain in the middle of the mountain, and the people in the mountains use the barren mountain land to grow some food. I saw that the mountains were stacked with patches of fields, built according to the mountain, just looking at the sky to eat, and not drinking water to build canals. Sorghum grows sparsely, and large swaths of crops are trampled and eaten. The ground was full of rows of hoof prints of different shades, and the ground was like a racetrack. Gao Yuan pointed to the particularly deep hoof prints and said: "It is as deep as this, and the hooves are so big, there must be five hundred catties up." Zuo Xiaosi also looked at the hoof prints carefully and said: "Brother Gao, Brother Zhou, I counted, this group, plus the white-haired boars that injured the third brother Gao, there are almost thirty heads, there are six or seven big boars of more than 300 catties, there are about ten of them of 200 catties, and the rest are small boars." ”

Gao Yuan also nodded and said: "It's strange that it is more difficult to fight mountain boars these times than in previous years, it turns out to be a large group." He turned around and explained to Zhou Nan: "Wild boars are generally a group of more than a dozen, and there are a few big ones in them, and the rest are all small ones born that year, and a few can be caught in the next set." Good fight. Like this, there are more than a dozen big pigs guarding them, and they are big pigs in front and behind, and they don't have a set, and they know how to dodge, and they run fast, and they run in the mountains and forests in the blink of an eye. If you block it and force it to be in a hurry, the big pig will rush ahead, and the tiger will not dare to stop it. ”

Zhou Nan listened to Gao Yuan's nagging, thought in his heart, and said: "The wild boar has rough skin and sharp teeth, and it can't be hard, so let's dig a pit for them to drill." Gao Yuan shook his head and said: "If you dig a small pit on this mountain, it will be easy to do, but if you have to deal with a mountain boar of more than 200 catties, how can you dig stones on this mountain?" Difficult! Zhou Nan said: "We can't dig a pit in the ground, so we will build a pit in the ground." Just one thing, what do wild boars like to eat the most? Zuo Xiaosi continued: "Wild boars like tender crops the most, wild mountain fruits, and ......" After a pause, Zuo Xiaosi said: "The wild boar's favorite food is black truffles, and the black truffles under the trees can be arched out from a long distance." ”

Zhou Nan said: "That's it. Fourth brother Zuo, you pick more mountain fruits, black truffles, and tender crops in the past two days, and put them at home; Brother Gao, let's go back and make a pit for the boar. Gao Yuanqi said: "How to do it on this stone?" Zhou Nandao: "I have a plan here, now the ground can not dig a pit, I can choose to sturdy trunks, make a circle of fences, only open a mouth on one side, only allow a boar to pass, set up a mechanism in the opening, and wait for the boar to go in more, the mechanism is launched, close the opening, the boar in the fence can not be rushed, I wait for this time to rush over, the mountain boar in the cage is not to be caught?" ”
