The clouds on the horizon have quietly left, and Yue'er shyly shows her head, gradually hanging high in the air.

Back in Shanlong Village, the sky was getting dark.

A black curtain covered the vast sky, and stars twinkled in the night sky.

The villagers of the mountain village have long since quietly returned home, leaving only the bright moonlight to illuminate the eighteen-bend mountain road.

Along the way, the hunting party can be said to have groped their way back by moonlight.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Dumb and the members of the hunting party parted ways for the time being.

"Dumb, that's okay, I'll go to your house to look for you early tomorrow morning, and when the donkey cart of Lao Zhangtou's family comes, we'll go to town together. Zhang Goudan looked for Dumb to continue to confirm before parting.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you!" Dumb nodded heavily, indicating that this matter is troublesome to everyone.

"Then when you go to-morrow, come to my door and bring me up. Ah Niu naturally agreed.

and made an appointment to go to the town tomorrow morning to deal with the sale of medicinal herbs and prey, and by the way, take Dumb's father and brother to the town to watch Langzhong's affairs.

Lao Zhangtou and Li He heard that Dumb planned to send his father and brother to the town for treatment tomorrow, so they naturally agreed happily.

The two of them also discussed:

Li He set off early in the morning and went directly to Lao Zhangtou, first putting some prey and herbs that he could carry on top of his carriage.

Because the carriage was faster than the donkey cart, it was naturally impossible to go to the town together.

And there is also the problem that the prey is not necessarily easy to sell in the town, and the restaurants in the town rarely buy wild meat in large quantities.

One is that there are too many mountain people hunting, and there are more prey that they hit.

The business of the restaurant in another town is not much better.

How many people will go to the restaurant to eat and sacrifice in the poor countryside, needless to say, the bitter mountain people around themselves do not have a lot of money, and the villagers in the town may not be much better.

Therefore, the prey obtained by the hunting team not only cannot be sold at a good price, but also sold for a long time, and even many times it cannot be sold, so it has to be brought back for their own consumption, and if there are too much, they will be salted into bacon or bacon.

On the contrary, because the pharmacy often comes to buy some much-needed herbs, and the herbs are not as perishable and rotten as the prey, they will be easier to sell.

Like a familiar old Zhang Tou, he can often go to the pharmacy and get it done in a few words.

In particular, the shopkeeper will tell him which herbs he needs next time.

As long as the herbs are picked according to the needs of the shopkeeper, the efficiency will be higher.

In the dark night, Li Dai walked towards his home with a few silver-white big fish in his hands.

The fish scales in his hand, flickering in the soft moonlight, really looked like wearing a silver armor.

On the way back, while everyone in the hunting team was resting, Dumb caught 6 big fish by the way and brought them back with straw ropes.

I'm going to make grilled fish and a snack for two pets in the evening.

"It's almost there!" Li Dai greeted Xiao Yi in the air.

The golden eagle sensed that it was almost at Li Dai's house, and flew down from the air with a "flutter!"

"Chirp, tweet!"

A handsome golden eagle stood on Dumb's shoulder, small but very powerful, and occasionally let out a low roar.

As the moonlight shone, the golden light on Xiao Yi's body became more and more hazy.

The "white gold" mountain rat in his pocket was always staring at the few silver big fish that Li Dai was carrying.

For the mountain rats who have tasted the sweetness, the taste of grilled fish is really not enough.

The sight of these fish will make it salivate.

"Squeak!"

After discovering the deliciousness of the grilled fish, the mountain rats in their pockets along the way were very happy and complacent, feeling extremely wise about their decision.

The courtyard is quiet, and although it looks very empty, it actually looks very simple and dilapidated!

There are many mountains in the mountain village, and it is convenient to build a house by yourself.

When the villagers heard that someone wanted to build a house, they were naturally happy to come to help one by one, and the so-called distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and this sentence is particularly practical in this place in the mountains.

When Father Li was in good health, building a house was really nothing, as long as there were some suitable materials, it wouldn't take long to build a house.

Is it just now?

Li Dai stepped into his somewhat dilapidated yard, and suddenly had the idea of building it well.

He shook his head slightly, and before he could think about it, he heard a familiar voice in his ears.

"Adai, did you come back so late today?" Mother Li's bright eyes revealed concern for Li Dai, and her face was full of smiling expressions.

Mother Li, whose hair was a little gray, stood half-bent over in the dark courtyard and waited for a long time.

It looks like it's supposed to be in the yard and has been waiting for a while.

She wore a shabby green cloth shirt and pants, and a half-worn towel wrapped around her head.

It's a time!

As Li Dai's father and brother were hit hard in the process of hunting, even the gentle and virtuous Li mother felt deep pressure.

has black and shiny hair, and has grown a lot of gray hair recently when I am anxious and worried.

The women in the mountains themselves are much older when they are affected by the mountain winds.

Now Mother Li looks even older than usual, even if she is not ten years old, she is five or six years old.

At this time, Li's father and mother had not rested as early as they did on weekdays, and it seemed that Li Dai was still a little uneasy that he did not come back so late.

In the mountains, there are usually no lights at night, and there is nothing else to do except go to bed early after dinner.

Generally speaking, I still go to bed relatively early.

It's just that Li Dai, who has been worried about going to the mountains to hunt and collect medicine, has not returned home yet, and he is quite worried that he didn't go to bed early!

It wasn't until now that he saw Li Dai come back that Li's father and mother settled down.

"Yes, mother! It's a bit far into the mountain to collect medicine today, so it's a bit delayed. The corners of Li Dai's mouth were crooked with a smile, and there was a thick smile in his eyes, giving people a warm feeling.

At this time, Li Dai happened to bend over, and was about to put down the medicine basket behind him, and at the same time comforted Li's mother softly and casually.

Some people will say, why is Mother Li shouting Ah Dai, why is it not Dumb?

As a parent, who would want to say that their child is not!

No matter how useless your own children are, they will not be willing to admit it in person.

What's more, Li Dai is already clever, and he is not really stupid, and Li Dai's nickname is Ah Dai, so naturally he will not be called "Dumb" like everyone else!

Despite this, Mother Li still complained a little that Li Dai came back too late.

"This kid, this time you have gone a little far into the mountain, then you have to come back soon, how worried you are about your mother in the mountains!" The slight bead-like wrinkles on Li's mother's face deepened, and the knots of the two eyebrows were locked together.

As night fell, Li's mother had been trembling, somewhat worried about being like Li Dai's father and brother.

It wasn't until he saw Li Dai that he stretched his frowning eyebrows, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

Just as she spoke, she remembered the unexplained worry in her heart just now, and her face suddenly became "sunny and cloudy" again.

"Chirp, chirp!" "Squeak ......" After a carving and a mouse entered the door, they saw Li Dai's family and greeted them somewhat warmly.

"Such a big person, you shouldn't be greedy for fun anymore, now that there is no food at home, what are you doing with these two pets!" Seeing the carving and mouse beside Li Dai, Li's mother, who was a little uncomfortable, began to nag and complain again.

In Li's mother's mind, since Li Dai has entered the mountain, he should be treated as an adult and strictly demanded, instead of raising these useless wild things.

In the eyes of Li's mother, the young Li Dai did this, which was somewhat of a plaything.

Father Li was still as silent as usual, smoking dry cigarettes "papa" and "papa".

His axe-like face seemed to be covered with haggard weariness and deep sorrow from the fallen roots.

"These two pets are rare treasures. Li Dai laughed "hehe", and told Li's father and Li mother very sincerely.

"It's not a wild bird, it's a mouse, as if we haven't seen it. Mother Li smiled a little angrily, and the wrinkles on her face were like a blooming golden chrysanthemum.

Adai, the stinky boy, has become naughty now.

Will it turn decay into magic, and turn wild birds and mountain rats into golden birds and golden rats?

But if it's really made of gold, it's really worth a lot of money!

There were no oil lamps in the dark house, and the silvery moonlight was obscured by the earthen walls in the courtyard and the trees outside the courtyard.

Mother Li naturally couldn't see the golden retriever on Xiao Yi's body and the white gold of the mountain mouse, and she couldn't notice that the two pets were extraordinary.

Li Dai smiled proudly, and was unwilling to defend more, knowing that Li's mother had suffered too much pressure and grievances in her heart, and she couldn't stand too much impact.

Since Li's father and eldest brother Li Da were injured, they haven't been very happy, and they have been depressed and depressed.

Li Dai, who had a relaxed face, put down the medicine basket behind his back, and then carefully took out three "Tuxuan ginseng" from the medicine basket.

"That's the credit of these two pets!" Li Dai said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and a strong confidence in his eyes.

"Huh!"

Father Li, who was silent on the side, had bright eyes, and his deep-locked eyebrows, his face that had been cut by the cold wind like a sharp blade, and he had no expression on weekdays, he also became very surprised, and he didn't even care about the dry smoke in his hand "clicking" and falling to the ground.

After falling to the root of the disease, dry tobacco is the spiritual food of Li's father, for him, like many masters, "the mouth does not leave the mouth, the knife does not leave the hand", but he is "dry tobacco does not leave the hand".

"It's ...... Father Li, who had been struggling to speak after falling to the root of the disease, suddenly lost his original composure, and his mood became excited, but he still felt a little unbelievable and asked.

"It seems that yes, I didn't expect you to be able to pick this thing, it's not easy to pick it!" Li Mu's two wrenched eyebrows gradually stretched, and she couldn't help but praise in shock.
