The dinner was sumptuous, and in Chen An's words, it was even better than Yuan Ri.

A plate of wead, stir-fried in lard, with salt and pepper, tastes very different from boiled. A can of pheasant soup is so delicious that it is reminiscent when it enters the belly, and Liu's boiling pheasant soup also has a hand. There is also a plate of beef, which is made by Chen Ping, which is soft and tender, and more importantly, enough.

This time, it was the three families, Chen Erniu father and son, as well as Chen Ya's mother and son, plus Chen Ping's family, gathered around the table and ate sweetly.

After eating, Chen Ping finished exercising as usual, and then rested, and his work and rest time was much more regular than that of black and white reversed in later generations.

The rooster crowed, the mist was light and frosty, Chen Ping went out, followed by the sleepy-eyed Chen An.

"Come back early, remember to go to Xiatu Village." is old and can't sleep steadily, Chen's father has already gotten up, is feeding chickens and ducks in the yard, and told Chen Ping.

"Got it." Chen Ping answered, led Chen An to the east of the village, met Chen Erniu, and the three of them ran west along the river bank.

He said that he would go to collect the trap this morning, and if it was too late, he would not let others who had entered the mountain see him, and he would take the prey, but he made a wedding dress.

"Brother, wait for me, don't run so fast." Li Xu came to the road, and as soon as he left the village, Chen An was left behind.

"If you look at the two cows, they don't say they're tired. Feet up, hurry. Chen Ping leaned upside down, he had walked a lot this way, and he was very familiar, "Let you follow me for a morning run, you have to sleep there lazy." ”

"Erniu is so strong, he must be faster than me." Chen An gasped, "I don't have to sleep to maintain my strength, so that I can grow my body, and I can share some work for the family in the future." ”

I didn't see Erniu running, but now Chen Erniu is not behind at all, and Chen Ping is at the same pace, although Chen Ping keeps his strength, but this is too strange.

"Erniu, have you secretly practiced running at home?" Chen Ping turned his body straight, still at that speed, and asked.

"Hehe, Grandpa always let me step on that bellows when he strikes iron." Chen Erniu grinned, "Brother Ping, can you still eat at your house today?" ”

"Yes, if you want to eat, come here." Chen Ping nodded and made a decision for Chen's father.

"Okay."

"How can that work? Erniu, you have to get some rice from home, you can eat three bowls of rice in one meal, and your family will eat poor. Chen An calculated clearly, he had been staring at Chen Erniu's mouth yesterday, eating his food was like a hole, and he didn't stop picking up beef.

"I could have eaten one less bowl." Chen Erniu said seriously.

"No, you can eat as much as you want." It's just a meal, even if there are a few more mouths in the family, Chen Ping has the confidence to say such things, not to mention the income of the fire sickle, even the toothbrush, which can also buy rice.

The price of rice is not expensive.

The place of meeting is still in the tomb, when Chen Ping and the three of them came, they found that there was already a person standing in the tomb, and when Chen Ping looked at it from a distance, he almost thought that it was the ancestor who wanted to come out to breathe, and after a closer look, he found that it was to Pingdong.

Early in the morning, instead of waiting by the grave, he actually ran to the grave and stood, wondering if the guy had a cold disease and a fever.

"Why are you here so early today?" Chen Ping asked.

"It's not just us who have entered the mountain, if someone else finds out about the trap you have placed, there may be nothing." Lai Pingdong explained, carrying a machete and walking in front of Chen Ping.

Chen Ping and the others followed, stepping on the dew-stained weeds into the mountain.

Not only was there dew on the weeds under his feet, but there was also a lot of staining on the branches and leaves of the occasional probing road.

"In the past, I also saw hunters who went into the mountains, did you go to Tu Village?" Chen Ping tugged at the collar of his robe.

"No, there are many wild things in this ** mountain, and there are many people who go into the mountains to hunt." When Lai Pingdong said this, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and said with a serious face, "It's best to avoid these hunters when you encounter them, whether you know them or not." ”

"Why? Could it be that they will still eat us? Chen An pulled the collar of his robe like Chen Ping.

Liu's robe fits very well, Chen An is small, and the robe is also made of two layers, and the inside is filled with some reed wadding. But the figure was there, and it was useless to pull the collar, and under the collision, the dew fell directly on his face, and Chen An was so shocked that he wiped it with one hand.

"I won't eat you, but this mountain is so big, no one will find out which col you are buried in." Lai Pingdong's words are a little gloomy, which makes people listen to it as if they are telling a story, but his expression is so serious that it makes people panic.

Chen An didn't listen to Pingdong's words, but just laughed twice, expressing that he was not afraid, thinking that coming to Pingdong was scaring him.

Chen Erniu didn't listen at all, just stared at the surrounding grass, hoping to find one or two early pheasants and take a sip of pheasant soup.

"You have such a hunter in your village?" Chen Ping is willing to believe it.

Anyone who knows a little about the history of Sui is definitely no stranger to the person Mai Tiecane. This guy belongs to the horse, and the Shenxing Taibao Dai Zong has a fight, can travel 500 miles a day, Dai Zong is a fictional character, but this wheat iron rod really exists in history, Yang Liang also followed Yang Su to attack the rebels in the rebellion.

Chen Ping was very impressed by Mai Tiecane, not only that this guy ran fast, but more importantly, Mai Tiecane died heroically enough. In the Battle of Liaodong, he jumped off the unbuilt pontoon bridge with Qian Shixiong, Meng Jincha and others, and died in a battle with the Goguryeo defense army in the absence of support.

But such a heroic martyr, that is also a man who has done the work of robbing homes and houses, fishing, hunting, and gathering crowds to steal, it is commonplace for him.

Hunting and hunting, this prey is not only animals, but occasionally people will become prey. In this deep mountain and dense forest, if you really bury a person, it is indeed silent, and no one will know about it when the trees are rotten and absorbed.

"Yes." Lai Pingdong pondered for a moment, nodded, and came out with a word.

"Still alive?" It was already at a set point, and there was no trace of prey, Chen Ping picked up a piece of wood and pressed it on a piece of floating soil, with a clicking sound, and the beast was caught in one place.

This was arranged on the way back, and there was no gain, Chen Ping pulled out the bamboo chips, and had to bury them in another place.

"I still hunt a lot in the mountains." Lai Pingdong glanced at Chen Ping, "The last person who exposed it was treated as a murderer and beheaded last fall." ”

Chen Ping looked up at Lai Pingdong, and paused for a moment, Lai Pingdong's words have two meanings.

The hunter has a backer in the county office, and it is useless to expose and report.

The person who was beheaded as a murderer should have a relationship with Pingdong and is very familiar.

"Your father?" Chen Ping stood up.

"My third uncle." Coming to Pingdong is very calm, but the voice is depressing, "The third uncle has taken me into the mountains since I was a child. ”

"There must be a way." patting Pingdong on the shoulder, Chen Ping said, "Someone who does evil, sooner or later, someone will come to clean him up." ”
