Qin Sanlang felt that it was a pity, they only walked around the shallow mountainous area of Dafeng Mountain today, and did not enter the deep mountains, his original purpose was to go into the deep mountains to have a look, but knowing that several adults would be worried, he nodded and said, "Okay." ”

The rest of the people also agreed, and each carried his things out of the mountain.

The sack of snakes was a bit dangerous, Qin Sanlang didn't let Gu Jinli take it, but used a hoe as a flat burden, carrying a sack containing snakes at one end and more than two dozen wild sweet potatoes at the other.

Luo Wu carried a few half-pound big mountain rats.

The three pheasants were taken by Luo Huiniang, Gu Jinli, and Tian Xiaohua.

Tian Xiaohua cherished this pheasant very much, and held the pheasant that had been unwinged and tied to her feet in her arms, and her dark and thin face was full of smiles. Tian Erqiang followed her closely, whether he stretched out to protect the pheasant.

Gu Jinli looked funny, and was a little sad, the Tian family brothers and sisters would be like this, they were all poor, so they still had to hurry up and make money.

Gu Jinli withdrew the gaze that fell on the Tian family brothers and sisters, and turned to look around, looking at those particularly tall trees for a while, looking at the small slopes he walked by, and looking at the peaks with special shapes in the distance.

She is remembering the terrain of Dafeng Mountain, she will enter the mountain in the future, only by remembering the terrain, she will not get lost in the mountain.

Qin Saburo also has the habit of remembering the terrain, and he also looks at the characteristic scenery along the way while walking. He also listens to the sounds around him, and if he hears the sound of running water, he will stop and write down the scenery around him before continuing to walk.

They walked briskly for an hour, and when they were about to leave the mountain, Luo Wu finally couldn't help but ask Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, are your families okay?" ”

Gu Jinli smiled: "It's all right." ”

When Luo Wu heard this, he was not very satisfied and frowned.

Gu Jinli ignored him and continued to walk out of the mountain.

Seeing that he was about to leave the mountain, Luo Wu was anxious, gritted his teeth, caught up with Gu Jinli, and asked in a low voice: "You, is your sister okay?" ”

Gu Jinli turned around and grinned at him: "It's good, the eldest sister has been practicing those few self-defense moves, you don't have to worry." ”

After she said this, she said no more, turned and continued on her way.

After Luo Wu finished the New Year, he would be eighteen years old, and his thoughts about Gu Jinxiu were not only known to her, but also to the two adults.

However, before the Luo family proposed to their family, she couldn't say too much about Gu Jinxiu to Luo Wu. This is in ancient times, a gossip can kill a girl.

Luo Huiniang is a big-hearted person, she only thinks that her eldest brother is asking Sister Xiu'er about practicing martial arts, so she said: "Big brother, you can't ask too much of Sister Xiu'er, Sister Xiu'er is not suitable for martial arts, it's good to practice those tricks well." ”

Sister Xiu'er is soft and weak, when she was in her hometown before, she would only use needles to do embroidery, practice martial arts or something, it was too difficult for her.

Luo Wu was so upset by Luo Huiniang's words that he said casually to deal with it, and then hurried away with a few people.

After they came out of the mountain, they made another big turn, and finally returned to the path leading to the back of the Qin family's house.

The third grandmother stood on the path, looking at the end of the path with an anxious face, and after seeing the figures of several of them, she breathed a sigh of relief, waved at them, and shouted: "Hurry up and go home, it's going to be dark this day." ”

They came out of the mountain in the afternoon, walked on the road for an hour, that is, two hours, and when they came here, it had changed from afternoon to evening.

Several people saw the third grandmother and trotted to the third grandmother.

Luo Huiniang picked up the pheasant in her hand and said to the third grandmother: "Third grandmother, look, we have caught the pheasant." ”

The third grandmother was already shocked when she saw that there were pheasants and mountain rats in their hands: "How did you find so many good things?" "It's all meat.

Luo Huiniang raised her chin and said a little proudly: "We are very powerful." ”

"Awesome, you're all good boys, let's go home." The third grandmother was very happy, and after receiving them, she led them home.

The men of several families gathered at Gu Jinli's house to talk about things, and when they saw them coming back with so many things, the third grandfather immediately made a decision: "Call all the families, let's have a good meal tonight, I haven't eaten meat for a long time." ”

Tian Erqiang immediately ran to inform several families.

After a short time, the women of several families came with pots and bowls, food, and a family.

Chen was the most active, and as soon as he came, he took away two pheasants: "I am doing the work of killing chickens, leave it to me, keep it and clean up the chickens properly." ”

There are more than a few families, there are more than 30 mouthfuls, and the meat is gluttonous, two pheasants are not enough, Qin Sanlang caught three big mountain rats to deal with, and after a while, the big mountain rats were cut off and chopped off and skinned, and then chopped into small pieces of uniform size, and took them to the kitchen of the Gu family.

Da Chu called all the rats in the mountains mountain mouses, but in fact, the fat mountain rats they caught today were bamboo ferrets, that is, bamboo rats.

Gu Jinli took the bamboo rat meat piece in Qin Sanlang's hand, blanched it, washed it again, first boiled a little oil with the fat meat taken from the bamboo rat, and then poured the bamboo rat meat into the iron pot, fried it slowly over low heat, and fried the meat until it was bright and golden, and the house was fragrant.

Chen stared at the bamboo rat meat in the iron pot and swallowed his saliva: "Xiaoyu, you are too fragrant to do this." ”

Chen couldn't help it, so he reached out and took out a piece of bamboo rat meat from the pot and stuffed it into his mouth.

Gu Jinli looked at her and said with a smile: "Auntie, this meat is not fully cooked, and there will be worms in the stomach after eating, as it says in the medical book." ”

Chen's face froze, and he hurriedly spat out the flesh in his mouth.

Cui's, Chu's, Yan's, and Aunt Tian have long been surprised by Chen's behavior, and they don't talk about her, they only do the work in hand.

The third grandmother couldn't stand it and scolded Chen: "You can't wait any longer? You've ruined such a big piece of meat. ”

Chen knew that she shouldn't be greedy, but she couldn't help it, but the third grandmother was old, so she didn't dare to talk back, so she could only laugh and run to stew chicken soup.

When it got dark, several women brought up a large pot of fried bamboo rats, a large pot of stewed chicken soup, a basket of steamed sweet potatoes, and a large pot of soybean and aged rice porridge.

Aged rice and soybeans were brought from each family, so a large pot was boiled.

There was a fire burning in the hall, two torches were erected, and several families of more than 30 people sat around the ground, and they lit the fire, happily eating this rare and sumptuous meal.

The children of several families were even more happy and crazy, they didn't even use chopsticks, they just started to gnaw, and they ate all the mouths full of oil.

After eating dinner happily, Qin Lao began to tell a few families about Dafeng Village: "There are two surnames in Dafeng Village, the He family and the Lu family, the He family has lived in Dafeng Village for the longest time, and has the most village chiefs, and most of the He family members are good, but there are a few families who have settled down, and there are a few singles and bastards, He Sanzi, He Shanwa, He Dacai, everyone will stay away from them in the future, meet them alone, and would rather take a detour." ”

"The Lu family moved to Dafeng Village more than 100 years ago, and the qualifications are not as old as the He family, but the head of the Lu family, that is, the old man Lu's family is rich, and there are several shops in the county, and the daughter is still the concubine of the county master, and gave birth to a pair of children to the county lord, and has a very high status in the county mansion, so the old man Lu is very domineering in Dafeng Village, and even the village chief He is afraid of him."

"The matter of giving us a horse is what Old Man Lu asked Village Chief He to do."
