Chapter Eighty-Four: Reluctance
In the middle of the night, Xia Shi and Xia Li got up again and fed the bear-like milk again. Taking care of a baby bear is as hard as caring for a human baby.
After breakfast the next day, Zhu Er carried the wild boar to the entrance of the village to take an ox cart.
Today, the sky finally cleared, and the farmers went to work in the fields early. They were amazed to see Zhu Er carrying a wild boar on the road, and couldn't help but ask how he killed the wild boar.
Zhu Er smiled and said, "It's my family that hunts, and it also knows how to arch the wild boar down the mountain, and it just so happened that I went into the mountain to find it and ran into it." Look, it's all bitten on the neck......"
The villagers were envious, "Your dogs have all become sperm." ”
Zhu Er said proudly, "Hehe, it's not ......"
Xia and Zhu cleaned the pig, except for the pork kidney, which was left for stir-frying, and left a leaf of pork liver and half of the pig lung boiled in white water for Dangdang to eat, and the others were marinated into the pot. filled a large iron pot, and sucked saliva directly with Xia Ju around the stove.
Xia Li fed the bear-like milk in the house. I asked for a little too much milk yesterday, so I drank some for Xia Ju, and there was still half a bowl left. In the future, I will go to Zhou's house every day to buy a bowl for it to drink, after all, it is too small, and it should be eaten less and more often. Under the pretext that milk is a good thing, the child drank it well and bought it home for Xia Ju to drink.
Xia left home to hunt a big wild boar and soon spread throughout the village, and Mrs. Xia, Erhu and Rhubarb came again.
Mrs. Xia was much more restrained than before, and she didn't dare to ask for half a pig directly, but said unhappily, "Such a big wild boar, and I didn't say that I would cut some meat to relieve my father's mother and brother." ”
This is not an excessive request. Xia said, "The pig is boiling in the pot, and when it is ready, I will send you some." ”
Mrs. Xia was more satisfied with what she heard, and she said a few more words. Looking at Dangdang's unkind eyes, he had to go home. Erhu and Rhubarb want to stay here for dinner, and play with Xia Ju and Dangdang.
When the water was cooked, Xia Li first cut a small bowl for Xia Ju, Erhu, and Zhucai to eat, and the water cooked in Dangdang was precocious, and cut a bowl for it and rhubarb.
After that, Xia cut a big bowl of lo-mei and asked Erhu to send it to the Xia family, and cut five small bowls and sent them to Zhou Lizheng, Zhou Carpenter, Zhou Lao Doctor, Hao Family, and Huang Widow's family. The villagers all know that her family has hunted wild boars, and it is rare for wild boars to go into the water, so they can try it for relatives and friends, and let Zhu Cai lead Xia Ju to send it.
After Xia Ju came back, he cut a big bowl and sent it to Mr. Li's house, and Xia Li took Xia Ju, Zhu Cai, Dangdang, and Rhubarb together.
At the entrance of the village, I met Li Darang again.
Xia Ju still remembered this person, and felt that he was more eerie and terrifying than Wang Erwa in the village, so he was so frightened that his neck shrank again.
Xia Li said softly, "Don't be afraid." Don't leave the village if you have nothing to do, but if you do, you must come with us. If that man dares to harm someone, let him be bitten. ”
Li Darang's eyes became even colder when he looked at Xia Li and Xia Ju. The cousin who caught the fast said that the third uncle of the dead girl became an officer, or he was still on an errand under the demon Ye Feng, and asked him not to cause trouble for Brother Scar.
But this girl grows more and more smart, it's not that he wants to cause trouble, but that Brother Scar is reluctant to give up. That Ye Feng is just a yellow-mouthed child, what are you afraid of! How many generals have not been able to exterminate the bandits in the mountains......
As soon as you enter the bamboo forest, you can hear the sound of reading in the courtyard. Xia Ju was very envious, he saluted the Lin family, and ran out of the window to look inside. Lin smiled and didn't care about him, Li Xiumin pulled Xia Li into the house.
Lin said, "My lord said that Brother Ju is very smart, and some students in the school are not as good as him, and he can come to study now." ”
Xia Ju smiled, "My mother and I still want to wait for another two years." Mainly from safety considerations, we have offended Li Darang......"
Lin sighed, "That's not a good person." It's better to be careful, there is an old saying, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. ”
When Xia left, Lin gave Xia Ju a book, and said that he had doubts and asked him to come to Li Xiucai.
Xia Juzuo thanked him.
Xia Li and a few people returned home, Zhu Er had already returned, and the wild boar was sold for two taels of silver and six strings of money.
At noon, I fried a waist flower and fried chili, and cut a plate of brine water, and the family was very satisfied.
Xia Li carefully fed the bear, the bear-like vitality is also tenacious and strong, in the blink of an eye a month, the little guy not only survived, but also thrived, grew to more than three catties, the size of a kitten, can stand and walk, crawl, and bark a lot, but it is not stable.
Its whole body is covered with dense black hair, soft and fluffy, round eyes, round ears, and a long nose, and the tip of the nose is red, which is too cute. Don't talk about Xia Li, Xia Ju and Dangdang, but Xia likes it to the heart, and Erhu and other children come to her house more often, sometimes several times a day.
The bear is a blind bear, and Xia and the others have seen it. But seeing that it was too cute and had no ability to hurt anyone, he was willing to keep it when he was young.
Word of her family's blind bear cubs also spread. Mrs. Xia was so angry that she felt that the Xia family was messing around with Xia Li's dead girl, and would rather spend money on raising wild animals than take the money back to honor her mother's family. I thought so, but I was smart enough not to come to the door. Xiao Yang couldn't be angry, and he was scolded back by Xia Laohan several times for stirring up trouble. also scolded Xia Tie together, saying that he was unproductive, and indulged in the stupid mother-in-law's greed for his sister's property. Xia Tie was so embarrassed that he slapped Xiao Yang a few more times, and Xiao Yang shut up.
Zhou Li is looking for Xia's family, afraid that the blind bear will grow up and hurt people. Xia promised that when it grew up to forage for food, it would be released back into the mountains.
Now, there are more children who come to Xia and leave home, all to see the bear blind. Xia Ju also has more and more friends, which makes him very happy.
After the full moon, the bear begins to eat complementary food, and the family does not have so much money, so it will not buy good things such as honey and fruits, and its favorite food is sweet roasted sweet potatoes and corn paste with sugar and sugar.
This made Xia Li's family happy, the bear blind man is still very easy to raise.
In order to make it easier to make roasted sweet potatoes for it, and also to make barbecue for himself to satisfy his cravings, Xia Li paid Xia Tie to make a cylindrical iron stove, and a matching small iron pan and a small round iron frame. You can make teppanyaki, barbecue, and you can roast fragrant potatoes later.
Xia Li knows how to train dogs, so he treats bears as dogs. The most important one is hygiene, not only repeatedly talking to it, making gestures, but also teaching it by word and deed, and taking it with him every time he goes to the backyard vegetable patch to poop......
The little guy is very smart, and slowly he knows that peeing and poop must be solved in the vegetable field.
But it also has two problems, which are timidity and crying. Often it doesn't scare people, but it is scared to cry. It also has a taboo that no one is allowed to make a face at it, and it will be ugly and cry.
