As soon as Sanbao reminded him like this, the villagers immediately realized that if they wanted to eat meat, they had to find Lu Yu. So these people made their own claims, you three catties and I made a reservation with Lu Yu, saying that when he came back from hunting, he must sell a few catties of meat to himself.

Lu Yu couldn't cry or laugh, but so many people booked with him, and it was not easy to refuse, so he had to say: "I'll go back and discuss with Lao Gao Ludi, if there are more hunts, divide some people." He thought about it in his heart, he didn't have to keep too much in his own house for the New Year, the Yan family and Lu Ming's family must each prepare one or twenty catties, and there are also Shan Tianfang and them, it is best to give them more. And there are seventy or eighty families in the village, even if each family needs three catties, it will take two or three wild boars to be enough. Even if Lao Gao and Lu Di are willing to sell pork, those three people have to fight four or five.

Today is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and there are only so many days left, can you hunt so many wild boars?

Although the dragon crocodile has not appeared for a long time, the villagers still dare not dare to enter the mountain, at least not to go into the mountain to hunt, unless Lu Yu is willing to take them. But everyone knows that when Lu Yu hunts, he will only be with Lao Gao and Lu Di, and even if the others have a good relationship with Lu Yu, he will not take them.

So no one asked Lu Yu to take him hunting, only asked Lu Yu to come back from hunting and sell some of his meat.

"Da Yu, you have worked hard in the past two days, run more in the mountains, and get a few more wild boars back." Some people like to use "head" to say wild boar, and Lu Yu likes to use "only", one, two, three or four.

Lu Yu smiled: "Okay, I'll go up the mountain tomorrow, then which of you will help me herd sheep." ”

Sanbao immediately said: "Brother Yu, I'll help you release it, but if you hunt back the wild boar, you have to sell me first." ”

Sanbao is very witty, he helps Lu Yu herd sheep, and Lu Yu is not good not to give him pork. Some villagers regretted that they were slow to speak, and joked to Sanbao: "Sanbao, you are so hungry for meat, don't slaughter the big feather sheep and eat it." ”

"I don't dare, even if I go to eat grass, I don't dare to eat Brother Yu's sheep. Brother Yu is a fierce man who can kill even a tiger, and I am afraid of death. ”

Lu Yu smiled slightly, thinking, "Am I so fierce?" But he remembered that there was a warm slope (a geothermal slope) in the depths of Yangshan, and there used to be a flock of wild sheep there, and I don't know if there is still one. Lu Yu wanted to go there to have a look, but he thought that Lao Gao and Lu Di couldn't go that far, so it seemed that they could only go quietly by themselves, get a few back, and find an excuse.

After listening to the villagers gossiping for a while, Lu Yu left the red clay field and went to Lu Di and Lao Gao's house successively, and asked them to go into the mountains to hunt the next day. These two also have the idea of going into the mountain, so they are scheduled to go into the mountain together tomorrow morning.

On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, Lu Yu and the three of them walked around the mountains all day, but they did not encounter a single wild boar, only got a few rabbits and pheasants.

Lu Yu took a rabbit to Sanbao, who was herding sheep for himself, Sanbao was very happy, took the hare with a smile, and asked Lu Yu if he would go tomorrow.

The twenty-fourth day of the lunar month is a small year, generally speaking, no one goes out to work on this day, but Lu Yu thinks that the New Year will be over soon, so let's go out. Lu Yu turned around and asked Lao Gao and Lu Di, and the two people also agreed to enter the mountain again.

On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, with a little luck, the three of them hunted a wild boar, but this pig was a little small, and it was estimated that it was only seventy or eighty catties of meat after killing and peeling.

Before going back, Lu Yu said to Lao Gao and Lu Di: "I know that there is a place in the mountains where there is a flock of wild sheep......

Lao Gao hurriedly asked, "Where is it?" Why didn't you say it earlier, we could go. ”

Lu Di smiled and said, "Isn't it too far?" Where the two of us can't go. ”

Lu Yu nodded: "It's far away, you two can't walk for a day." ”

"Can you go yourself? Get some lamb and I'll buy it from you." "Lao Gao raised sheep by himself, but he was reluctant to eat them, and he was also hungry for mutton.

"I want to go, so I'll discuss it with you." Lu Yu said: "When I got the goats back, the people in the village will definitely ask me where I got them, so we have to say that the three of us hunted together." After thinking about it, Lu Yu felt that he still had to tell Lao Gao and Lu Di about going goat hunting, otherwise the excuse would be too difficult to find.

"It's necessary, let's just say we'll fight back together. But in the future, we still have to buy it from you, and you will get it yourself. ”

"Hey, what to buy, you love to be polite."

As soon as the three of them returned to the village, before the wild boar had been killed, some villagers came to buy meat with baskets and money. The three of them didn't plan to sell the first pig, but they thought that there were wild sheep in the mountains, so they sold it to them.

A small wild boar was sold out quickly, and even the pig-headed pig went into the water, and there was not a single tael left. The eyebrows who bought the meat smiled and carried the basket home, and the ones who didn't buy it were sad and unhappy, and everyone told Lu Yu that the three of them would hunt back the wild boar tomorrow, and they must leave a few catties for themselves.

So on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, the three of them still had to enter the mountain.

After going around in the mountains for a morning, he didn't meet wild boars, and when he ate dry food at noon, Lu Yu said that he was going to hunt wild goats and asked the two of them to wait for him for a while.

Lu Yu was not around, Lao Gao and Lu Di were a little afraid to stay in the mountains, they all asked Lu Yu: "Can you come back in a while?" ”

"I'll be back in a moment." Lu Yu planned to teleport over directly after walking away, and it wouldn't take long to hunt a few goats.

Lu Di said: "Okay, the two of us climb the tree, don't worry." ”

Lu Yu was not very relieved, and when Lao Gao and the two of them climbed a big tree, he turned around under the tree, and secretly laid out a formation, leaving his own breath and coercion, which could prevent some beasts or something.

Walking out of the sight of the two of them, Lu Yu passed into the valley, and then went directly to the warm slope.

Luckily, there are wild goats on the hillside, and there are quite a few of them. Lu Yu thought to himself: "It was cold the winter before last, but it's amazing that these goats can survive." "It turns out that a lot of cattle and sheep in Jinshan Farm have frozen to death, if it weren't for the fact that there is also a warm valley there, I'm afraid that Lu Yu won't be able to buy lambs this spring. It seems that even though they are all sheep, this wild one is still more powerful after all.

Lu Yu wondered if he could catch a few wild sheep and raise them back next year.

There are a lot of wild sheep, of course Lu Yu can't catch them all, he also has the heart to get a few and put them in the valley, but he is afraid that they will spoil the crops in the valley, so in the end he still caught four, one hand and two, and went back to meet Lao Gao.

They were separated from Lao Gao until they caught four goats, which was less than half a pillar of incense, but if Lu Yu went back now, Lao Gao and they would definitely think that the place where they hunted goats would not be too far, so Lu Yu stayed in the valley for a while before passing it back.

A wild goat weighs sixty or seventy pounds, and Lu Yu carries two in one hand, and they will not be surprised.

Lao Gao climbed down from the tree first, looked at the four fat sheep, drooled and said, "Four, we have to get one to eat, we can't sell them all." ”

"Let's divide one of the three, and sell the three." Lu Yu felt that he and Lao Gao Lu Di had eaten a lot of meat, and the people in the village were different, there were really many people who had not eaten much meat this year or even in the past two or three years.

Lu Di also agreed with Lu Yu's proposal.

"Okay, just eat at my house in the evening, and don't make a fire for the two of you."

Although it was still early, because there were four sheep, there was no way to hunt anymore, so the three of them took the goats and returned to the village happily.

As soon as he got home, Lao Gao hid the smallest sheep first, otherwise he would definitely not be able to eat it at night.

The three sheep actually don't have much meat, and they may not add up to a fat wild boar, so it didn't take long for the mutton and sheep to go into the water or something, and they were all sold cleanly. Lu Di is more careful, those who bought pork yesterday, they don't sell their mutton first, and give priority to those who didn't buy it yesterday.

There are some lonely and widowed old people in the village who have no children, no daughters and no money, and Lao Gao also asked his son Xiaocai to give them a pound and a half each, and no one has anything to say about this.

Eat mutton at night, but Lu Yu and they don't have wine, so they went to someone else's house and bought some wine and came back. Lao Gao's family doesn't have much food, so he is reluctant to make wine, but Lu Di has a lot of food, he is too lazy to get it himself, and Lu Yu's family has already drunk the wine.

Lu Di's daughter-in-law helped Lao Gao's daughter-in-law cook dinner together, a goat, if you only eat one meal, it is still very enough. Later, Lu Yu suggested that he should call Qi Xiang over as well.

Qi Xiang's life is not very good, although he already has a few acres of not very good land now, but because he only came in the second half of the year, there is no harvest in the field, usually eat and drink rely on the help of his former fellow villagers, Lu Yu also occasionally sent him some. Qi Xiang and his wife had a bitter life.

Lao Gao and Lu Di didn't have much friendship with Qi Xiang, but since Lu Yu had already said it, they didn't object.

Lu Yu went to Lao Gao's house to call him, but Lao Gao still said at first that he didn't want to go, saying that he went out to eat meat, and it was not good to leave the crazy woman at home alone. But later, he still couldn't resist the temptation of mutton, so he still followed Lu Yu. Lu Yu said that when he finished eating, he would bring some back to his daughter-in-law.

Fresh lamb, tender cabbage and radish, and home-brewed grain wine are all good things. Especially in this winter when it is not particularly cold, seven or eight people gather around to eat and drink, and the scene is very joyful and lively.

It's just that Lu Yu will think of the Yan family and Lu Ming, and occasionally he will think of his father who is missing; Lao Gao will also think of his sister's family in the city; And Qi Xiang is always worried about his mother-in-law who is alone at home. These three people are concerned, and Lu Di has nothing to worry about, so when he eats, he talks the most.

Lu Di's daughter is very good-looking, although she is not white enough, but she is very smart and lively, and everyone likes her very much, especially Lao Gao's son Xiaocai.

Xiaocai is eleven years old, but he is about the same size as an eight- or nine-year-old child. Lao Gao was distressed and angry with his son, and kept scolding him for only knowing how to eat, but not knowing how to grow.

After Xiaocai was full, he hugged Xiao Nanqiao and fed her food and meat. Lao Gao looked at it, glared at his son, and said, "You don't know how to eat more, you still look like a wilted chicken at the age of eleven." ”
