Chapter 114: Dividing the Flesh
Everyone carried the tiger to the entrance of the village, and the old patriarch led the elders of the clan to greet him.
The old patriarch first circled around the tiger, and then said to the men who carried the tiger: "Just put it here, so that the village will smell of blood everywhere." ”
Liu Dayu immediately commanded the men to hang up the tigers and wild boars.
Stinky Duck Egg had just changed shifts to patrol the entrance of the village, pointed to the tiger and said to the children in the village: "Little Seventh Girl is a woman, she has eliminated tiger trouble for our village." ”
"The little seventh girl is the big hero of our village, when I used to go to Guxian to save the children, they all called the little seventh girl the seven heroines."
So on this day, Liujia Village was like the New Year, and the people in the village not only got wild boar, but also shared some tiger meat for each family.
The meat was shared by the old patriarch with his son Liu Dayu, Liu Xiaoyu, and stinky duck eggs, and some wild boar and tiger meat were also distributed to the three people who followed the patrol in Wangjia Village.
Every time a piece of meat is handed to the villagers, the stinky duck egg will say, "This is a gift from the Seven Heroines." ”
Speaking of the back, without waiting for the rotten duck egg to speak, the person who received the meat would directly say - this was given to us by the Seven Women, and then took the meat and left.
The rotten duck egg nodded, it was nice and harmonious.
The tiger bones and tiger skins were left to Liu Dahe's family, and although the people in the village looked red, no one had an opinion, after all, this tiger was called by Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi took the tiger skin and tiger bones home, and Niu and Ah Fu were very rare about the tiger skin, and touched and touched it.
Niu sighed, "The furnishings of our house are too simple, and the tiger skin is a little mismatched." ”
Liu Dahe sat on the side and laughed.
Ah Fu Xianbao walked up to Liu Dahe with a tiger skin in both hands, "Dad, you haven't seen a tiger skin before." ”
Liu Dahe: "Ah Fu, put it down, the smell of blood is too strong, and this skin has to be dealt with." ”
Xiao Qi suggested: "Let's send the tiger skin to the Hua family, Grandpa Hua said that he likes this tiger skin very much, and will give our family silver at the market price." ”
Niu agreed with both hands to this move, and in Niu's heart, silver is the most practical.
Liu Dahe also nodded, "Old man Hua is well-informed, he should know how to deal with the skin, Xiao Qi, you should send it to the Hua family quickly, and send some tiger bones to the elders separately." ”
Niu's eyes were full of anticipation, "It seems that I can get a lot of silver this time." ”
Liu Dahe patted Niu's hand lightly, "Don't worry, Hua Lao won't treat us lightly." ”
"Sister, wait a little longer, let my brother take a few more looks." Ah Fu took out a pen and paper and began to draw.
Xiao Qi picked up the basket containing the tiger bones and said to Liu Dahe: "Dad, I plan to send more tiger bones to Grandpa Hua, and let him help make some medicinal wine. ”
……
Xiao Qi came back after sending the tiger skin and handed a small bag of silver to Niu's, and said to Niu's: "Grandpa Hua said that the skin should be quite valuable, he will give our family a hundred taels first, and then give us some silver after going outside to inquire about the specific market." ”
From the day the tiger is caught, wild boar traps and traps can harvest some small game from time to time, and the villagers often have meat to eat.
Later, I don't know from which day, the prey gradually decreased, and slowly it was not enough, and the villagers made a fuss again.
Many families have run out of food, and they expect to live with their daily share of meat.
The old patriarch had no choice but to give up his old face and go to the Hua family, wanting to beg the old man Hua to take the men in the village to hunt in the mountains.
In the years that Mr. Hua lived in Liujia Village, he would go to the mountains several times a year, and every time he came back in good condition, the old patriarch naturally knew that Mr. Hua was a capable person.
The old patriarch entered the room, sat on the Taishi chair in the hall of the Hua family, and said to the old man Hua: "This chair is good, it is very comfortable to sit on." ”
Old man Hua: "This is the style I saw in the field, I drew a picture for Dahe to help you do, if you always like it, you can also ask Dahe to help you make a few." ”
The old patriarch pondered for a while, and finally got to the point, "Hua Lao, I didn't want to trouble you, but several families have lost a grain of grain, and they come to me every day to cry, saying that they will starve to death if they can't share the prey." ”
"I discussed it with a few elders in the village, and I wanted to ask Hua Lao to help take the men in the village to hunt in the mountains."
After all, Old Man Hua has also lived in Liujia Village for more than ten years, and he still has some feelings, and as long as he still wants to live in Liujia Village, he can't be too ruthless to the people of Liujia Village.
So the old man Hua agreed to the patriarch's request and said to the old patriarch: "There has been no prey at the foot of the mountain for several days, which means that there should not be much prey in the mountain." After all, the prey in the mountains is limited, and hunting can only solve the problem temporarily, and the old patriarch must be prepared in his heart. ”
"Later, when the prey on the mountain is eaten up, everyone can only flee together, I heard that many people in the town went to the direction of Jiangnan, which is the land of fish and rice, and there should be a way to live."
The old patriarch listened to Old Man Hua's words with a sad face, "I also know that this is not a long-term solution, but there is no other way for the time being." ”
The old patriarch was also very helpless, and many elderly people in the village were reluctant to leave their hometowns, fearing that they would not be able to return to their homeland in the future, and would rather starve to death in the village.
But if things get worse, he can only exercise his right to force his people to leave their homeland.
The old patriarch walked out of the door of the Hua family and went to Xiao Qi's house, although the old man Hua did things very safely, but in the old patriarch's heart, the most trusted was Xiao Qi, who was born with divine power, and let Xiao Qi and the old man Hua take everyone to the mountains together in the eyes of the old patriarch is the safest.
Liu Dahe hasn't worked for a long time, and now it has become a problem to eat in several nearby villages, who still has the heart to make furniture.
Sitting in the house of Xiaoqi's family, the patriarch took a long cigarette holder and pointed at Liu Dahe Road: "Dahe, I have already agreed with Old Man Hua that he will take the people in the village to hunt in the mountains." ”
"Your Xiao Qi is a capable person, let Xiao Qi go with him and take care of the people in the village, I will be relieved."
Liu Dahe: "Xiao Qi, I agreed to this matter, a few days ago I heard that many people were starving to death outside, and the old patriarch worked hard, so he had to worry about the survival of so many clansmen. ”
"The food donated by Xiao Qi has played a great role, so no one in our village starved to death, Xiao Qi has made a great contribution to our village, I remember it in my heart."
The old patriarch wiped his tears with his hands as he spoke, "It's very ashamed to say it, since I took over as the patriarch, our Liu clan seems to be getting more and more decayed." ”
Liu Dahe saw the patriarch crying for the first time, and he didn't know how to comfort the patriarch, so he changed the topic.
"Everything in our family is arranged by the old patriarch...... But I haven't seen my brothers in the village for a long time, and I don't know how my parents are doing. ”
The old patriarch also knew that Liu Dahe's old lady Xu was the most impatient to see Liu Dahe, and felt that Liu Dahe would restrain her, so she would never allow Liu Dahe to go to the old house.
A few days ago, the Xu family actually said that this natural disaster was brought by Liu Dahe, and the old patriarch reprimanded her in person, and ordered several other villagers not to spread these bastard words.
