In just a few days, chess has swept the entire small mountain village, and even Yun Niang and Duan Xiaoniang are also attracted by another game called backgammon, and even the Journey to the West, which must be heard every afternoon, many people did not come.

Lu Zhe also stopped the update of Journey to the West.

The weather is getting colder and colder, since there is a fire kang, the villagers who have felt its charm are no longer willing to go out as before, even if there is a good story, but there is no beauty to sit on their own fire kang and have a chess game with their friends.

Therefore, in addition to teaching his sister and Duan Xiaoniang every day, Lu Zhe sits on the kang every day and spends his days with the forest dog group.

Lin Wuyi and Duan Ergou are now almost every day, because they stole the materials at home to make chess, these two unrighteous goods were later taught a hard lesson by their own Ye Niang, and ordered them to learn the craft at home, the so-called learning craft, in fact, is to help Lin Haoshui and Duan Dali, who want to do a lot of chess, only have time in the afternoon every day, but as long as these two goods have time, they will come to Lu Zhe's house and talk aimlessly.

"If a rock hadn't tripped me the day before yesterday, I would have caught the roe deer." Duan Ergou sat on the kang head and threw a boiled bean in salt water into his mouth.

"Talking about the roe deer again? Old Duan, my ears have been calloused for the past two days, can you stop talking?" Lin Wuji was sitting cross-legged on the kang table, playing backgammon with Lu Zhe.

"Hey...... It would have been nice to catch that roe deer that day, and the three of us would have had a full meal, and I haven't eaten meat in a long time. Every day, the taste of mushroom tofu is very bland. "Eating meat, in this day and age, is always the subject of most people's conversations, remembering the roe deer that escaped from its own trap. Duan Ergou was still remorseful.

As soon as the words came out, the same feeling flashed in the hearts of everyone present, especially Lu Zhe, you must know that he has crossed over from the materially rich world in the later life, a young man who is growing his body, his stomach is like a bottomless pit, and he is hungry after eating for a while. On weekdays, he had enough of having no meat to eat and could only drink gruel.

In the early Tang Dynasty, ordinary people wanted to eat meat, except for saving some money to buy some fishy pork in the market, most of them could only be obtained in the wild. But there is no market in the mountain village, and they probably can't handle it if they give him a beast on weekdays, not to mention where to get meat to eat in the middle of winter.

Lu Zhe lowered his head and pondered, and was accidentally exploited by Lin Wuyi, and the five red stones were practiced into a line.

"Oh yes, I won." Lin Wuyi, who finally won a set, jumped up happily, and also learned from Lu Zhe and shouted Ouye.

Hearing Lin Wuyi's Ouye, Lu Zhe couldn't help but have a feeling of time and space disorder, this Ouye interrupted his thinking, he had just drunk a lot of water, and his urine was gushing, so he walked down the kang and went to the backyard to pee.

People in this era are almost defecating in the open, not long after Lu Zhe came to this world, he begged Lin Lishui to help him make something similar to a gong bucket and put it in the backyard, asking Yun Niang not to defecate in the open, Yun Niang felt troublesome at first, and under the strong request of her brother, she finally formed the habit of not defecating in the open and washing your hands before and after meals.

And after the gong bucket is full, Lu Zhe will quietly pour into his own field, there is no concept of fertilization in this era, in order to avoid shocking the world, Lu Zhe can only secretly pour it at night, Lu Zhe is very confident that his own fertilized land can be a little more grain next year.

It's so comfortable. Lu Zhe sighed while releasing the water. The fire in the hut was burning very strongly, and the heat seemed a little stuffy, outside, the cold mountain breeze in winter blew, and the fresh air made Lu Zhe feel refreshed.

The environment that has not been polluted in ancient times is really beautiful, the blue sky is like washing, the whole mountain is covered with snow, and there is a touch of dazzling emerald green in a piece of snow white, which is the bamboo forest on the mountain.

What a beautiful bamboo forest, secluded and snowy overnight, sparse and green. Lu Zhe couldn't help but read two lines of poetry.

Wait, Bamboo Forest? A light flashed in Lu Zhe's mind.

Bamboo forest ....... winter bamboo shoots...... Bamboo rats! That's it. Lu Zhe hurriedly put away his brother and hurriedly ran home.

"Ergou, no blame, bring a hoe and bamboo lou, let's dig winter bamboo shoots and catch bamboo rats." As soon as he entered the door, Lu Zhe shouted at the two of them.

"Bamboo rat, that's Shizi. But eat? Hearing that there was something to eat, Lin Wuyi's eyes lit up.

"Isn't it a giant rat that grows in a bamboo forest, I've seen it before, and this thing can also be eaten?" Duan Ergou was a little skeptical.

"If Ergou you told me about one thing, that is. This thing grows in the bamboo forest, eats the bamboo root and drinks the mountain spring for a living, the meat is tender and smooth, the taste is delicious, whether it is stewed and roasted, it is an extremely delicious thing. Lu Zhe said as he spoke, everyone in the room, including his sister, had the experience of being called a pheasant before, and when they heard him say this, their faces showed a look of covetousness.

Lu Zhe didn't lie, in his previous life, Lu Zhe's father was a fanatical wild fishing enthusiast, when Lu Zhe was young, every spring and summer, he would take Lu Zhe to the wild to catch bamboo rats and catch bamboo insects, so Lu Zhe is still very familiar with this set of theories on how to catch bamboo rats.

"I've seen this bamboo rat, I like to make holes in the bamboo forest, if it's really delicious, we'll catch it right away." Since the last time he ate Lu Zhe's called flower chicken, Duan Ergou has never forgotten to get some game and come back and invite Lu Zhe back. Hearing that bamboo rats could be eaten, Duan Ergou, the only one present with hunting experience, was eager to try it, ready to catch bamboo rats and come back to feast.

"It's a little late today, and early tomorrow morning, if it doesn't snow, we'll each bring a hoe and a bamboo lou and go up the mountain to catch bamboo rats."

"Good" "Good". The three teenagers discussed the details and division of labor on how to catch bamboo rats for an afternoon, and they dispersed with great interest.

Early the next morning, the three of them sneakily met in the bamboo forest at the east end of the village. Seeing the clothes of the two, Lu Zhe couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Lin Wuji carried a hat, a hoe behind his back, an axe in his hand, and a wooden board on his back, which in his words was his wooden shield. Duan Ergou is even more exaggerated, because his father Duan Dali is a hunter, Duan Ergou is draped in a piece of skin and tied with hemp rope, how do you look like a bandit in the Northeast, carrying a shiny hunting knife, a whetstone hanging from his waist, and a large bundle of rope and hoe on his back. Because I took it secretly from home, how do you look at it, how indecent. And Lu Zhe brought a hoe and a bamboo lou. Compared with the energetic two, it looks slightly unprofessional.

"Let's go!" The three of them had already gathered, and Ergou, who claimed to be the most experienced in hunting, served as the commander-in-chief, and waved his hand angrily.

So, the hoe trio slipped into the bamboo forest.

Bamboo rats feed on bamboo roots, the fattest in spring and autumn, and in winter, it is when it hides in the ground to gnaw bamboo roots, several people go around the bamboo forest, and no trace of bamboo rats is found, but Duan Ergou found a few winter bamboo shoots.

The season of eating bamboo shoots is generally in the spring, in fact, senior foodies and mountain people know, in fact, winter bamboo shoots are better than spring bamboo shoots, the bamboo shoots at this time have not yet been unearthed, when the official sweetest time, dig out and roast directly to eat, a bite down, full of mouths, fresh and sweet, or stewed with bacon, the taste is rich, the meat aroma and the bamboo shoots are fused, and the deliciousness is incomparable.

So a few people dug up a lot of winter bamboo shoots and discussed that they would be roasted and eaten later.

Finally, the emperor lived up to his wishes, Lin Wuji found traces of bamboo rats on a leeward slope, and among the green bamboos around him, several bamboos had died, and there was a small hole the size of a fist nearby.

"Dig!" Under the strong motivation to eat meat, the hoe trio waved their hoes one after another and dug up hard.

Not long after digging, I found a fat gray figure, desperately burrowing into the soil.

"It's a bamboo rat, Lao Lu and Lao Lin, you two are guarding by the side, and I'll go and catch him out." Duan Ergou dug a few hoes hard, and the bamboo rat burrow inside was already exposed to the eyes of the three of them. At this time, Lu Zhe and Lin Wuyi both put down their hoes, ready to contain the possible bamboo rats at any time.

Duan Ergou took off the skin outside, reached into the hole, touched it hard, and the two looked at him intently.

"Bah, eat my old section and grab it." Duan Ergou shouted, as if he had caught something. The words shouted made Lu Zhe feel ashamed to play. With a loud shout, his right hand tugged hard, squeaking, and a fat bamboo rat struggled while being dragged out of the hole by him.

"Caught it, this rat is so fat." Seeing this cute little guy, with a fat body, oily and slippery fur, and small eyes, Lin Wuyi thought about how fat this guy was, and hurriedly handed over the bamboo lou to put the bamboo rat up, overjoyed

"Of course, this rat demon is cunning, and he also used demon magic to bite me, who knew that I recited a spell and immediately subdued him." Seeing Duan Ergou's overjoyed appearance, Lu Zhe knew that Journey to the West still had a deep impact on them.

The three of them who made a good start had a great increase in confidence, and continued to look for bamboo rats with persistent efforts. I have to say that in this era when no one has arrested them, there are still a lot of bamboo rats, and it didn't take long for the three of them to catch as many as four.

"I knew that this bamboo rat was so easy to catch, so you two wouldn't use it, I'll catch it alone and bring it back." Lin Wuji looked at the four fat bamboo rats in Zhulou, with a proud face.

"I don't know who it was just now, and I was bitten by this little bamboo rat." Lu Zhe said coldly, causing Duan Ergou to laugh.

"Don't you say, this little thing, it hurts to bite people, isn't it that I practice eight or nine Xuangong, copper skin and iron bones, if it is an ordinary person, my hand will be bitten off and eaten." Lin Wuyi is also an avid fan of Journey to the West.

Hahahaha, the laughter of the teenagers echoed in the bamboo forest.

"Listen, there's a noise around here."

"What's the matter, don't talk nonsense, Ergou." Lin Wuyi, who was still blowing just now, suddenly changed his painting style.

"Really, you listen, the sound of bamboo falling from the bamboo forest over there seems to be the sound of bamboo falling, could it be that someone is cutting wood?" Duan Ergou's ears are very smart.

"It should be it, why don't we go and have a look?" Lin Wuyi said cautiously.

Lu Zhe listened carefully, it was the sound of bamboo falling. "Don't do it, in case it's some beast or something."

"Lao Lu, you are timid, this bamboo forest, there are many fierce beasts, it is estimated that the uncle in the village is cutting bamboo, I will take a look at it from a distance, and then we will have a sharp weapon in our hands, even if it is a fierce beast, it will not hurt." Why don't you stay and watch the bamboo rats, and I'll go with Lao Lin to have a look? "Duan Ergou, who successfully hunted today, is very arrogant.

"Let's go, let's go!" The three and a half teenagers, Lin Wuyi and Duan Ergou were at an age when they were not afraid of heaven and earth, and when they saw that they were going, Lu Zhe, who was not at ease, had to go with them.

Turning a small hill, we came to the place where the sound came. As soon as he turned the mountain pass, Lu Zhe saw that the forest dog combination in front of him suddenly seemed to be immobilized, motionless.

"What's going on?" Lu Zhe was shocked, took a few steps, and quietly followed.

"Yes..... there is...... Bear. Lin Wuyi trembled all over, and squeezed out these words with trembling teeth.

"What." Lu Zhe also felt a pang in his heart, and looked at Lin Wuyi's eyes. I couldn't help but feel ecstasy.

In a bamboo forest not far away, there are a few bamboos lying crookedly, one with black eyes, black ears, and black limbs, and the rest of the place is full of white black and white bears are gnawing on the bamboo.

Like you, get out!
