Chapter 118: Hunting
In the weather of heavy snow or heavy rain, many people will put down the straw curtains or reed curtains on the windows, which will cover the wind and rain to a certain extent and make the window paper more durable.
This is the biggest thing to clean up the house, and the ground is leveled by the two couples who are picking the kang.
The rest of the meticulous work was done by the two of them, and after the furniture was delivered, it was cleaned up for another day, Su Tong didn't even look at the day, and went to Lizheng's house to borrow a cart that night after cleaning up, and moved the house.
This house is enough to live in, and there are more kangs, so Yue'er didn't want to live with Su Zhi anymore, so she moved her things directly into the West House.
As a result, she went to the thatched house, and Su Tong moved her things back again, and warned her: "If you live by yourself, aren't you afraid that Laneige will come to my house?" Don't go to another house in the future, don't hear it. ”
Well, Yue'er didn't move as soon as she heard about Laneige.
Su Tong told her: "When I hunt for some silver, I will do the happy event before the year." ”
Yue'er snorted: "Still doing happy events?" You've done it a few times! ”
Su Tong smiled with him: "Wasn't this forced to be helpless before, this is what I want to do, except for you, I don't want to marry anyone." ”
"I don't want to marry too, I brought one here, and I don't know what it will be said about in this village in the future."
Yue'er was angry when she mentioned this, and her heart was also uncomfortable. It's no wonder that she didn't run before, Su Zhi's concubine couldn't be her.
Well, she can't enjoy your glory and wealth with you, but she is the only one who suffers hardships, and no one is comfortable in their hearts.
Su Tong knew that he was at a loss, but he couldn't help it, if he didn't marry him at that time, he might not even have the life of exile, fate treated him like this, is there any other way than to endure it?
There was no firewood at home, so Su Tong bought a sickle and came back, so he first went to the river to cut a few bundles of reeds and came back. I drank saliva at home, rested for a while, and went to Beishan alone.
At the foot of the mountain, he chopped firewood and carried it back, and said to Yue'er: "This firewood is enough for you to burn at home for a day, and tomorrow I will go to the mountain to explore the way." ”
"You tell me the truth, did the green fox go out to do something for you?" Yue'er, who was cooking dinner, straightened up and glared at Su Zhi and asked.
Su Tong didn't dare to hide it this time, so he said honestly: "I let him go, and he can come back almost at the end of the year, and we will not be short of silver by then, but this day still has to be hard to see outside, and as soon as the door is closed, you can do whatever you want." ”
"Okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it, then let's live this hard life first, how can we survive until the end of the year. But I'll make it clear to you, you can't go into the mountains and go desperately, just mean it. ”
"I know, don't worry, I've been on the battlefield for so many years, and I can still handle such a small thing as hunting."
Yue'er still nagged for a while, and it wasn't until after eating a meal that Su Zhi took the opportunity to wash the dishes, and her ears were quiet.
The next day, before dawn, he got up and prepared to enter the mountain, and Yue'er also got up and cooked for him to eat, and packed some dry food for him to carry with him, so that he froze when he could eat it.
On this day, Yue'er couldn't do anything at home, so she always ran to the backyard to look at Beishan.
She had stepped on a path in the garden, and she had made it a road by sweeping the snow.
Su Tong came back after dark, and Yue'er wanted to beat him angrily, but he was reluctant to say a few words.
But he said excitedly: "I have met Orion, and it is from another village." Four or five of them went into the mountains together, and once they went in, it took five or six days to come out. I didn't dare to follow in this trip, I didn't bring anything, and I was afraid that you would worry. When I get ready, the next time they come back, they will rush to the market to sell things, and after the sale, they will rest for two days before entering the mountain, and then I will go with them. ”
Yue'er worried: "You can be sure of these people, whether they are real hunters or not, don't have anything wrong." ”
"Have they entered the mountains these days, no, I happened to go to their village to inquire, and I made sure to follow up. It just so happened that there were people in their village who made bows, so I took this opportunity to inquire. ”
Orion's arrows are made without iron arrowheads, but are made from hard pine branches, which can be made by oneself without spending money.
The next day, Su Zhi went to the village where the hunters lived, and inquired about the house where he made a bow, and he bought one directly when he happened to have a ready-made one.
I inquired with the house, and when I came back, I began to chop pine branches to make arrows.
Yue'er began to learn from the women in the village how to make local sticky dry food, which was added with bean paste, which was a hunting thing and did some physical work, especially to fight hunger.
Su Zhi prepared a wine bag by himself, and this season is inseparable from wine in the mountains. It's just a pity that they don't have the money to buy horses and mules now, and everyone rides mules.
was so busy for a few days, and took advantage of the day to catch up with the market, Su Zhi took Yue'er to the market. There I really met those hunters selling their furs and prey, and made an appointment to meet at the foot of the mountain after three days.
Except for this day, Su Tong usually keeps going to the foot of the mountain to chop wood, and when he saves enough for a car, he goes to Lizheng's house to borrow an ox cart to pull it back.
Three days later, when Brother Wang, led by Orion, saw Su Zhi at the foot of the mountain, he asked curiously, "Little brother, where is your mule?" ”
Su Tong was a little embarrassed: "I just separated it out and passed it alone, I didn't have a mule at home, it's okay, I can't miss my eldest brother's steps." ”
"Okay, let's go into the mountains and lead the mules, isn't it tiring to carry someone on your back, it's okay, just let me do your share."
Brother Wang is a sincere person, so he came down at the foot of the mountain and walked with Su Zhi, and shouted to those who came with him: "You go first, I'll catch up behind slowly." ”
But after walking for a while, Brother Wang found that he really couldn't walk this offspring with these two legs. So he laughed and got on the mule again, and the two of them chatted all the way after the people in front of them.
The hunters are all from the same village, and there are more people who came this time than last time, which is also because the family has run out of food, and almost all of them can come out.
When I arrived at the camp I had chosen, I pitched my tent on the snow. It was a few pieces of wood erected and tied with rope on top. There is a circle of oilcloth underneath, and the sky is exposed on the top. Wrap a circle of cheap fur on the outside, press a thick layer of snow, sweep out the snow inside, otherwise it will turn into water, and set up a small black iron pot with a handle to boil it, and it can boil water and cook.
There was clean snow in the small iron pot, and wood was burning underneath, and when the snow boiled, he picked up the rabbit he had just hit, cut it and threw it in, sprinkled a handful of salt and cooked it, and then he could eat it.
When Su Zhi came out, he brought dry food, and Brother Wang said that it was okay to skewer it on the branches and roast it, and each of them ate like this. It's just that as soon as he came, the ingredients were enriched a lot, and Yue'er brought some frozen cabbage at home, all of which were cut. There is also chili meat sauce that can be added to the soup, which is fragrant and spicy, satisfying and warming.
