Dangdang also has a lot of gains. Hunted a litter of five voles, each with two or three pounds. He also hunted a wild goat, chased it to the top of the mountain and caught it, and after biting it to death, he dragged it to Xia Li with his mouth.

The neck and head of the goat had been bitten to pieces, and it was about 150 or 60 pounds.

Xia Li touched Dangdang's head and praised it, and promised to make taro paste for it when he went back, and said that half of the potatoes at home would satisfy its cravings.

Zhu Er's back basket was filled with wild goats, for fear that others would see that it was covered with a layer of cloth. Xia Li's back basket was filled with other wild things, and the two of them and a dog walked home.

On the way down the mountain, Xia Li saw a red figure in the bushes in the distance, like a red fox, with its tail facing them. If you shoot at this angle, you will shoot a hole in the fur and affect the selling price.

Xia Li silently pointed there with Dangdang and gestured a few more times. When he figured it out, he let himself go around from a high place and push that Dongdong to his sister's side.

It quietly ran up the mountain, and Xia Li and Zhu Er squatted down and hidden. Although Zhu Er didn't see anything, he knew that his master must have found prey.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the red fox saw a dog pounce on it, turned around and ran away, was shot in the eye by an arrow, and fell to the ground.

Zhu Er ran to pick up the fox happily. smiled, "This fur is complete, and it will definitely sell for a good price." ”

On the way down the mountain, I occasionally met a few villagers who went up the mountain to try their luck, and they saw Zhu Er and Xia Li's heavy back baskets, and their eyes were full of envy.

When passing by the mountain road behind Shiban Village, Xia Li habitually stopped again and looked at the half of the sunset in the west through the sparse branches and leaves. The sunset reflected half of the sky, reflected a bend of the river, and dyed all things cold with a layer of warmth.

Later, she saw a few horseback riders on the official road by the Wujiang River, coming from south to north.

One of those men, who covered his face below his eyes with a black handkerchief, stopped at a fork in the road.

Three men dismounted, and the other two men on horseback led their horses to the way they had come.

The man covering the veil seemed to think that this was not good, and took it off, revealing an unusually horrible face, with a scar slanting from his right forehead through his eyes to the bottom of his left face. The bridge of his nose was ruined, and his eyes were deformed, and he was very ugly. He hurriedly covered the lower half of his face with his sleeve, and several people hurried towards Shiban Village.

Xia Li remembered a sentence in his previous life, it's not your fault that you're ugly, it's your fault to be scary. If this person is pointed out in the dark, he will definitely be mistaken for a ghost.

She turned her eyes away and walked away.

When the two of them and the dog arrived home, the sun had completely fallen, and the sky was slightly dark and a little orange.

Xia Shi and Xia Ju were anxiously waiting at the east gate with Xiong Xiang, Xia Ju saw them and happily led Xiong Xiang to greet them.

He shouted, "Sister, if you don't come back, my mother will go to look for you." ”

The bear ran over and climbed onto Dangdang's back. It wanted her sister to hug it more, but she knew that her sister was too tired at this time and would definitely not hug herself.

Xia Shi was already waiting in a panic, and when he saw a few rare species, he asked with a heavy face, "Have you gone to the mountainside?" ”

Xia Li smiled, "No, we just walked a lot to the south and delayed for some time." The wild goat was hunted in the mountains by Dangdang, and the red fox was also found by Dangdang at a high place, deliberately driven down, and was shot to death by me. ”

Xia Li said it seriously, and no one could not believe it. Xia Shi looked at Zhu Er, and Zhu Er nodded stiffly.

Xia was also happy to see so many wild things, and asked them a few more words.

The two discussed, and tomorrow the Xia family will go to the county seat with Zhu Er and Zhu Er's family. It's almost the New Year, and I want to send two hares, a few catties of snacks and candy, and two pieces of cloth to Master Xia Si's family. In addition to leaving two pheasants at home, one hare each for the Xia family and Li Xiucai's family, the rest of the meat was sold to Yixiang Restaurant, and the fur was taken to the fur store for sale, and then the brocade chicken was handed over to the shopkeeper He by the way, and he was asked to bring it to Zeng Lizhang when he went to the provincial capital.

Sent to Li Xiucai's house, Xia Li thought about getting good points for his third uncle, and Xia thought about Li Xiuwen.

Xia Li wrapped the legs of the golden chicken, and saw that Xia Ju also liked it very much, and said with a smile, "If you like it, stay and play, and I will go and give one to Zeng Siye in the future." ”

Xia Ju shook his head and said, "No, this golden rooster will be brought to Fourth Master Zeng tomorrow." In the future, if my sister fights again, she will stay with me to raise. ”

Xia Li touched him and said, "Okay, my sister will definitely catch a more beautiful bird for you in the future." ”

After the meal, the two couples took care of the wild things, skinned and disemboweled. Xia Shi and Zhu Cai started to fight, and Xia Ju led a dog and a bear to watch the excitement, and it didn't end until Hai.

After a hard day, Xia Li was tired and had back pain, so he went to bed early to rest. I was still thinking in a daze, it's good to buy someone.

The next morning, Xia took Zhu Er and his wife to take the wild things and the New Year's gift of Xia Si's family to the county seat.

Xia Li carried a basket containing a hare and a vole, and took Xia Ju and Dangdang to Li Xiucai's house.

The private school was already on vacation, and I didn't hear Lang Lang's reading, which made Xia Juji disappointed.

Li Xiuwen is also back, and he came to open the door.

He combed his horns, wore a half-worn robe, and looked childish. also greeted with a smile, "Sister of the Xia family, brother of the Xia family, rare guest." ”

Xiao Zhengtai is very cute, and she is completely a bear doll that has not grown.

Thinking of Xia's chaotic mandarin duck spectrum, Xia Li looked down at him and laughed, and greeted, "Brother of the Li family." ”

While Lin and Li Xiumin were talking and laughing with Xia Li, Li Xiucai and Li Xiuwen took Xia Ju to the study to teach.

When leaving, Li Xiucai said to Xia Li, "Xia Ju is smarter than my family's Wen'er. ”

This compliment made Xia Li overjoyed, and said with a smile, "Then isn't my brother also a prodigy?" ”

said that the Li family was very happy, and Li Xiuwen stood up with a small chest full of ambition.

The Li family sisters and brothers sent them out of the bamboo forest together.

Xia Li saw Li Darang again. But Li Darang didn't see them, he was far away from them, and hurried past with another person.

Soon after dinner, the three Xia returned. The wild animals were sold for a total of six taels of silver and a string of silver, and the complete fox skin alone was sold for two taels and five pieces of silver. I brought back the New Year's gift of Master Xia Si's house, a few catties of apples, and a few catties of snacks and sweets. The brocade chicken was handed over to the shopkeeper He, and the shopkeeper He thanked Xia Li for the little master, saying that he was going to the provincial capital tomorrow to run errands, so he brought it over and gave the Xia family a braised duck.

Xia also bought a lot of New Year's goods, with food and clothing, including New Year's gifts for the Xia family, as well as firecrackers that Xia Ju had been looking forward to for a long time.

Xia also asked Zhu Cai to lead Xia Ju to Xia's house to give New Year's gifts, which included a set of silk clothes for the old couple, a pair of thousand-feuille shoes, a few bags of candy, two pork, and a hare. At the same time, invite Old Man Xia and his wife, Xia Zhu, and Xia Tie to drink.
