It's late autumn, the wind is blowing, and the leaves are all yellow.

In ancient times, winter seemed to come earlier, when the seasons were distinct.

There are still about three months to go before the Chinese New Year, and several hunters of the Fu family who make a living from hunting on the opposite side have already brought out six hunting dogs to prepare to hunt on the side of Jigongling.

Fu Bao of the Fu family has a relatively strong relationship with Lin Dongquan, and in previous years, he would also call him to go hunting together.

This year, Lin Laosan was injured and didn't call him to go, but he did go to Shi's house to say something.

"Brother, I want to go into the mountains with Pan Shancang, many wild boars have been hiding in deeper forests these days. Occasionally, there are a few scattered wild boars still looking for food in the periphery, if you don't go to hunt, when the weather is cold, you won't be able to hunt. Fu Bao said.

When Lin Laosan heard this, he also wanted to go.

But he was just a little injured, and his legs and feet were not very neat, so he could only regret not going.

"Bao, then you must pay attention to safety. Although it is just a few scattered wild boars, there are other big beasts in the mountains, don't you have pigs and sheep in Jialian? Actually, you don't have to work so hard. In case of injury? What do you call her and the children? ”

Although this is a bit unpleasant, it is also for his good.

"Brother, don't worry. I have a sense of proportion with the mountain artillery, we set up a few big traps in the forest a few days ago, we will be careful, my family is pregnant again, I also want to hunt more prey, and there will be more places to use money in the future. Fu Bao said with a smile.

In the morning, several children of the Lin family saw the hunting dogs gathered in the barn outside, and Lin Biaowang was very excited and wanted to go.

But this year, his father won't go, so he won't have a chance to go, and Lin Qingqing is also very excited.

I wanted to hunt and play, but unfortunately Lin Lao Wu would let her go hunting in the mountains with a girl's family.

"Don't be greedy, you are too small and you have no force. If the beast comes, it will be eaten by the beast, but don't look like it's fun, hunting is very dangerous. Xie Hai of the Xie family turned his head and said to Lin Qingqing and the others.

"There may be tigers, black bears, and snakes on this hill when it's hot."

"Got it, we'll just see." Lin Shuying smiled.

Lin Qingqing also knew that there was no drama this time, if she was a boy, it might be okay.

She knew that there were tigers in the mountains, but if she didn't go to the mountains, it would be nothing if she just hunted wild boars.

There are deer in this mountain, and she is still more interested in that thing, if she can go, she must hunt a deer and come back, it is a treasure all over her body.

A few hunters took their things and led the hounds to set off, and Lin Qingqing reluctantly glanced at them.

When they returned home, their uncle and grandmother of the Li family did not forget to tell them not to go to the mountains to play.

"Hey, have you heard, the big family that has just moved in, I heard that they are going to go into the mountains to hunt tigers and bears today." Li Chengliang, the eldest son of the Li family, said.

"Really? It's been a long time since any hunter in the village dared to organize a tiger fight. Lin Wangchen's expression was very excited.

"It's been so many years, no one has beaten the tiger down the mountain, if you can really hit it this time, it will also eliminate harm for the people, then no one dares to go to the depths of Jigong Mountain all these years."

"Not really, but then again. If only they were hunting for it. You're going to make a fortune! Tigers are worth a lot of money! And the bear. Li Chengliang had an envious expression on his face.

"Since it's a big family, how can you be short of money?"

"You said that if Uncle Fu and they hit a tiger or bear, then it would be too lucky!" Li Chenglin also said enviously.

"Come on, it's better not to meet, the last time I beat the tiger, I went to more than thirty people, and twenty-six came back, you forgot, the tiger is not something that ordinary people can fight." Lin Wenbing said.

"You said it would be nice if the people from the house could let me follow behind, I just want to open my eyes, this big family should be different from fighting tigers, right?" Li Chengliang said.

"Don't think about it, Uncle Fu, they are much safer now, the tiger is dealt with, the wild boar is much easier to fight, maybe you can see them fight the wild boar back in the evening!" Lin Wenbing said.

"Well, have you heard of a miracle? The Huang Erya in the village is said to be not stupid, these days I heard that she suddenly came to her senses, not only is she not stupid, but I heard that she no longer steals chickens and dogs! ”

"Then the fourth child of the Yang family is going to breathe a sigh of relief!"

"Even if you are not stupid, if you don't steal chickens and dogs, just that ugly look, you will lose your appetite when you see it, if you let me marry a daughter-in-law like that, even if you give me a hundred taels of silver, I won't do it!" Li Chenglin said with disdain on his face.

"It's still Xie Pomegranate looks good." Li Chengliang said suddenly.

"Oh, so you're interested in pomegranates, huh? Hahaha......"

"What if there is, don't laugh!"

Lin Qingqing also heard the chatting of several of them in the courtyard, but she did not step forward to interject.

The Li family actually went up the mountain to fight the tiger, I don't know if Li You went, as for Huang Erya suddenly not being stupid, she didn't think much about it?

In the evening, several hunters of the Fu family really caught a 300-pound wild boar back, and the outside barn was full of people living nearby.

There are those who are envious, those who look strange, and those who want to buy some wild boar meat and come back to try it.

Lin Lao and the three didn't go, but Fu Bao sent two catties of wild boar meat with skin to him.

And Fu Bao smiled and said that they were lucky today, not only did they hit the wild boar, but they also saw the Li family's tiger team.

Sure enough, it was a big family, and the equipment was like a war, and the guards were wearing heart armor, bows, crossbows, and broadswords.

A dozen hounds, like calves, are fierce and nimble.

It's just that today they hit the wild boar down the mountain, and the big family didn't make any big moves in the end, and it was estimated that they would not go down the mountain until they hit the tiger.

Deep in the mountains

Several masters of the Li family walked for most of the day, and the harvest was good.

Hit a lot of small prey, and a wild boar.

But they didn't meet the tiger they wanted to fight.

"Linzi, you take dozens of catties of meat from the wild boar and cut it into pieces. There is a smell of blood, and the big guy will come out. The head of the Li Mansion in charge of this hunt said.

The two guards took the wild boar out, and Linzi raised the knife and cut off several large pieces of meat from the wild boar in a few clicks. The blood of the wild boar was dripping, and the thick smell of blood was terrible.

They wanted to shoot the tiger today, or they would have to spend the night in the mountains.

Perhaps this trick was useful, and a few trees in the distance moved slightly, and the shadow of a fierce beast faintly appeared behind the trees.

But it's not the bright yellow figure of the tiger, and when I see it clearly, I find that it is a male wild boar of more than 500 catties.

The black boar rushed over, its long fangs turned out, spitting white foam.

Whoosh, many arrows were fired at the boar, but they didn't do much damage.

With a "bang", a huge arrow shot out quickly, which was shot out with a two-meter giant bow, and it was very powerful.

The huge arrow pierced through the boar's thick skin and struck it in the neck, causing the boar to fall to the ground quickly.

Whoosh and many arrows were swooped, and the boar was shot at other parts of the boar's body, and soon several large wounds on the boar's body began to bleed profusely, and he died instantly.

"It's a pity that I haven't seen the shadow of a tiger after a day!" Li Hao said regretfully.

"yes!" Li You didn't have the slightest fluster, he was extremely calm, his eyes were as cold as a torch, a pair of phoenix eyes like black jade, deep but with endless indifference, as if there was nothing in the world that could enter those eyes.

Li Hao was even a little afraid to look at his younger brother, as if he was very different now, but he felt that this was his younger brother, as if he were fake.

"It's getting dark, let's go back!" followed Li Baoshu, who was about to come out to hunt, shouted impatiently.

The red light chain heart armor she wore today was also the only one in the Ling family who rode a pony into the mountain today, but it was a pain for the horse, many roads in this Jigong Mountain were originally repaired with stone stairs, and the horse was only entered the mountain with the help of a few guards in the back.

Li Hao glanced at Li You again, and understood that he wanted to stay in the mountain, and then he quickly ordered to go down, and said lightly: "The four of you escort the young lady back to the house, and the others find an open place to set up tents, and spend the night in this mountain tonight, you go and find more firewood to come back!" Linzi you go to fetch water. ”

Li Baoshu was a little annoyed that her two brothers didn't escort her back, but she definitely wouldn't continue to stay in the mountains, I heard that there were not only fierce beasts in the mountains, but also wolves.

She didn't want to stay here, even if the beast didn't come to attack them, she was afraid to hear the cry of the beast, and it would be creepy to think about it.

…………

As soon as she finished breakfast the next day, she had nothing to do in the morning, Lin Qingqing took the opportunity to go to her aunt's house, Lin Yumei was pregnant and had a third child.

Lin Qingqing wanted to buy some nutritious products and send them over, but this is not in modern times she was confused for a while, and then she simply bought an old hen, a pack of five catties of dried fruits and a pack of two catties of jaggery sugar, in a basket.

When I arrived at Lotus Village, where Lin Yumei lived, more than ten meters away, Lin Yumei, who was going out to feed the pigs, found Lin Qingqing.

When she got closer, Lin Qingqing found that Lin Yumei was very tanned, so black that she couldn't see the appearance of being a kindergarten teacher in modern times, and Lin Qingqing was very distressed.

Lin Yumei put down the pig food bucket and shouted out Lin Qingqing's uncle asked him to feed the pigs, looked at her very happily and said with a smile: "Qingqing, it's all here, why do you still bring things to your aunt?" Let your daddy break the bank. After speaking, he took Lin Qingqing into the hall.

"This year, my family has collected a lot of cone chestnuts, I also planted ten acres of tea trees, after a few days you bring a basket of cone chestnuts back to eat, and last time I picked some pecans, this pecan is good to eat, replenish the spirit, the number is not much, let Tian Tian eat it, he will study hard and test his fame."

Lin Qingqing smiled and nodded, this aunt is not just nice to say, she knows that no matter what the world of the aunt, she sends a lot of cone chestnut walnuts to her house every year, it is not because of the poor conditions of her aunt's family and their family, but for their good.

In the early years, the ancestors of the Wu family fled from the Ganzhou Mansion next door after the flood and came to other countries and married the Jiang family of the village.

I don't know how I recognized a seventy-year-old widowed landlord as a godmother, and after the landlord's wife died, she successfully inherited her family's land and property, and since then she has taken root in the village.

It's a pity that the Wu family is not as good as the next generation, and when Lin Yumei's father-in-law, Old Man Wu, comes to this generation, there are only 30 acres of paddy fields and 20 acres of dry land left in the family.

Old man Wu has a total of eight sons and three daughters, and such a little land is not enough at all.

But Old Man Wu died early, Old Man Wu's daughter-in-law Liao is almost seventy years old this year, and she has lived long enough in this era.

Liao's family eats fasting and recites Buddha all day long, but he does not have a bodhisattva heart, but he does not do some things in the village to take advantage of others.

I don't know what's going on, I like to toss Lin Yumei's husband Wu Lao Liu, who not only eats and lives in this son's house, but also has the most filial piety expenses every year, most of which are used as sesame oil for her and donated to Sanqingguan on the mountain.

The eldest of the Wu family is named Wu Cungen, has a son and two daughters, the eldest son marries the village woman Jiang Qiaoqiao as his wife, Jiang Qiaoqiao's family is rich, but he is cunning, usually treats people and is kind and kind, with a smile on his face, in fact, he has a very set of people behind his back, and he is an insatiable superlative, even if he has money in his hand, he has to order someone else's cheap.

The daughters-in-law married by the other sons of the Liao family are not fuel-efficient lamps, but now this Lin Yumei probably has never studied, and she is very honest, and she is simply the best among the daughters-in-law in the Wu family, a bit of a bun.

Wu Bilian, the youngest sister-in-law of the Wu family, is seventeen years old this year, and she is the treasure of the Jiang family, just like the modern sumo wrestler, white and fat, lazy to eat, unable to do any housework, and there is no future life in the village who can look up to her, and she eats and drinks for nothing in Lin Yumei's house.

Lin Qingqing saw Lin Yumei's bad life, her head was big!

But now in ancient times, a filial piety word can crush people to death, and because Lin Yumei is like a woman who has no enlightenment, she just blindly follows three virtues and four virtues.

If you ask her to do something to resist or something, to express some different opinions, she will definitely not do it and will not dare.

Lin Qingqing came to Lin Yumei's house quite early, and there was still an unfinished breakfast in her house, green vegetables and sweet potatoes, I couldn't tell whether it was porridge made of millet or cornmeal, and pickled cucumbers and radish strips were put in a saucer, which were not fried in oil, and it was estimated that it tasted salty and dry.

Walking through the hall, she lifted the blue coarse cloth curtain and came to the backyard of her house, where the two children of Lin Yumei's family were playing in the backyard, her son Wu Zhihua was playing with a toy made of wood, and her daughter Wu Min was squatting on the ground with a thin bamboo stick scratching something.

Wu Zhihua saw Lin Qingqing coming, but he didn't say anything, a little introverted.

On the contrary, Wu Min, who was squatting on the ground, stood up suddenly, ran to Lin Qingqing, and shouted affectionately: "Little cousin." ”

Looking at Wu Min's palm-sized little face in front of him, there was no flesh on his face, his complexion was not ruddy, his hair was a little yellow, and his body was even thinner, this was obviously a malnourished child, and a six-year-old girl looked like she was four years old at most in modern times.

It's really pitiful to look at.
