Chapter 120: Hunting

"You ......" Li Qing wanted to praise her for your strength, and then thought that this seemed to be inappropriate for a girl's body, so she closed her mouth again and turned to look at the other trap she pointed out.

After seeing the prey that fell inside, he unconsciously let out an exclamation: "Ah, there is a sheep inside." ”

Su Qingmo also walked over when she heard this, and looked down to see that there was really a goat in the trap lying on its stomach on its back, and it snorted a few times from time to time, indicating that it was still alive.

Thinking of the taste of the spicy mutton hot pot, Su Qingmo couldn't help but swallow the saliva in her mouth, and said to Li Qing: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and pull it up." "I carried it home earlier, cut the mutton and ate the hot pot.

"Oh, I see. ”

Su Qingmo didn't go to help this time, this goat looked like it was more than a hundred pounds, which was not too much for Li Qing to be a big man.

At Su Qingmo's insistence, the goat was carried by Li Qing, and she asked Li Qing to make a tow out of rattan and drag the wild boar directly home.

It's just that for not having the opportunity to let Li Qing see his ability to shoot his prey today, Su Qingmo said that it was a pity. However, it is a little unsafe to put this pig and sheep in the mountains, not that they are worried that they will be dragged away, but that there are more ferocious carnivores in this mountain.

Let's get this prey home first.

Strange to say, they didn't touch a single prey when they entered the mountain before, and now they walked back, and since they could still meet a rabbit bumping in front of the road from time to time, it seemed that they would not stop to catch them.

Li Qing really didn't mean this, but Su Qingmo couldn't see their provocations the most, and let go of one or two, she couldn't be indifferent, and directly threw down the rattan dragging the wild boar, took off the bow and arrow on her back, and shot the arrow after catching up with a few steps.

only heard a whoosh, and the rabbit that had run into the thorny jungle and left only a fat butt fell to the ground with a thud, making Li Qing, who was watching the whole process, stunned.

He really didn't think that the weightless bamboo arrow could really shoot the prey, let alone that Su Qingmo's shooting skills would be so powerful, seeing that the rabbit was about to escape, he was actually shot by her.

"You ......"

Su Qingmo picked up the rabbit and walked back to look at him, and he was a little embarrassed to praise him sincerely: "You are so amazing!"

"So-so. Su Qingmo replied with some stinky fart. Pull out the arrow from the rabbit, throw it with the boar, pick up the rattan and drag the boar on.

Stopping and stopping along the way, when the two of them arrived home, in addition to the pigs and sheep caught in Li Qing's trap, Su Qingmo also harvested three rabbits and two pheasants on the road.

This made Su Qingmo's mood a little agitated, when she ran into the mountains before, she used her light skills to fly between the top of the trees, and she had not walked around in the mountains and forests.

During this time, as long as she thought of the hexagram she was always dividing, she couldn't find a way to go back, she only felt that the days of living here were boring, and she even thought that if she went directly to seek death, would she be able to return to the misty forest, and whether she would be able to return to her son Lisu's side.

But she didn't dare to be this gambler after all.

I never thought that the prey in this mountain would be so abundant, and only when chasing the prey, her mood can fly a little, it seems that as long as she is depressed in the future, she can walk around the mountain to vent and vent.

When the two returned home, they began to get busy.

"You're tired all the way, hurry back to the house and rest, I'll take care of these things." Li Qing didn't want her to get her hands dirty, after all, the smell of blood was heavy when dealing with prey, and she was worried that she would not be able to stand the smell.

Su Qingmo didn't speak, just urged him to hurry up and boil a pot of hot water, Li Qing thought she wanted to take a bath and went into the kitchen.

Su Qingmo took out a delicate dagger directly from the ring, and handled the sheep in a few clicks, the wool was too fine, she was impatient to use hot water to scald, and directly peeled off the whole sheepskin, and by the way, she also skinned the three rabbits.

When Li Qing boiled hot water and came out, he saw Su Qingmo walking towards him with sheepskin and rabbit skin, and asked, "I don't know if this woolen leather can be used?" I just don't know if it's made from wool or with wool.

Li Qing looked at her expectant eyes, thought about it, then took the leather and said, "I'll try it, if it's done, I'll leave it for you to make a pair of shoes to wear." ”

Su Qingmo smiled when she heard this, but she didn't refuse: "The hot water is boiled?"

Li Qing nodded, his face was a little comfortable: "The water is already hot, I'll carry you to the room later, since you have already processed the mutton, I will cut a piece of mutton and send it to Brother Da Niu in a while." The implication is that Su Qingmo can take a bath in the room with confidence, and he will go down the mountain in a while, just to avoid the embarrassment of the two of them.

"What are you going to do in the room? You go and bring the water out to scald the pig's hair, and we'll get rid of the boar in a hurry." Today's harvest is so big, you look at the people in this village who have a good relationship with you, and each family will send a catty to the past. ”

"Don't you want to take a bath?"

Su Qingmo glanced at him: "What kind of bath am I taking in the middle of the day?" Don't stand here stupidly, you hurry up and go to work." ”

Because the wild boar was still alive, Li Qing thought about stabbing it in the neck and bleeding it first, but he had never killed a pig when he was so big, so he shrank a little.

Who knew that Su Qingmo was faster than his hands and feet, and directly stabbed the dagger into the neck of the wild boar, and when he saw that he was still looking at him stupidly, he said: "What are you doing? Quickly bring the basin containing the pig's blood, this pig's blood is a good thing, don't waste it." "She likes to eat Mao Xuewang's dish the most.

"Oooh. Li Qing hurriedly handed over the basin that received the pig's blood. After a while, he received a basin full of pig's blood, and Su Qingmo, who saw it, was very happy. I saw the fresh mutton processed on the side, and I thought that I would be in a better mood to eat mutton hot pot at night.

While thinking about the delicious hot and spicy mutton, the hands of his hands became more and more cheerful.

Li Qing on the side wanted to help, but Su Qingmo only asked him to pour hot water on the pig on the side, and she herself took a dagger and quickly shaved the pig's hair, and after a while, she cleaned up the wild boar of more than 300 catties.

The pig offal and other things were handed over to Li Qing to be cleaned up in the stream behind the house, and she began to split the pork into pieces so that she could come back in the afternoon and smear them with salt.

She didn't plan to take this wild boar to the market and sell it, even if she sold it, it wouldn't sell it for much, so it was better to just salte it for two days and then take it to the sun to dry it to make bacon, not only for a long time, but also the best for stir-frying and eating.

As for the mutton, its price is higher than that of wild boar, just leave some for your own consumption, and let Li Qing exchange the rest for money.

Su Qingmo told Li Qing these thoughts, and Li Qing naturally had no opinion. After the two of them had dealt with this, Li Qing went into the kitchen to make lunch.

The wild boar meat smelled a little, so Su Qingmo asked him to take a rabbit in and fry it, anyway, today's harvest is big.

There are two pots on the stove in the house, one large and one small, Li Qing usually uses the small pot outside to fry the meals eaten by two people, and the big pot inside is also the hot water for Su Qingmo to boil and bathe every night.

For example, the hot water used to shave the pig's hair just now has to be boiled in the big pot inside, and the small pot outside can't hold so much water.

Su Qingmo asked him to wash the cauldron and then pour water into it to boil, and when the water in the pot boiled, he carefully poured the pig's blood that had been received in the basin before, and after a while, he saw that the pig's blood coagulated into a large piece.

Su Qingmo extinguished the fire in the stove, took a knife and began to change the flowers on the pig stock, cut it into tofu pieces, and then put it in a bucket filled with cold water to soak.

Li Qing watched her busy while stir-frying, and saw that the movements of her hands were orderly, obviously not like the first time she had made these things, and she was secretly surprised in her heart.

He thought she didn't know anything about the kitchen, but now it didn't seem like that.

There are two dishes on the wooden table, a plate of fried rabbit meat with chili peppers and a plate of stir-fried eastern melon. Su Qingmo looked at the two plates of brightly colored dishes, and felt a little reluctant in her heart, and said to Li Qing with a look of regret: "This rabbit meat is fried very delicious, are you sure you don't want to open the meat yet?"

Li Qing shook her head, pushed the plate of rabbit meat in front of her and said with a faint smile: "Don't worry about me, you can eat more if it's delicious, anyway, there is no shortage of meat at home now." ”

"I naturally want to eat more, but I feel sorry for you, vegetarian for three years, if this is me, I can stick to vegetarian food for half a month is already the bottom limit. ”

Facing Su Qingmo's admiring eyes, Li Qing was a little speechless for her attitude. But he couldn't say anything, so he said: "The difference between the time between my father and my mother is less than three months, so I only need to keep filial piety for three years." If there is a difference of more than three months between the death time of the elders, then it is necessary to keep it for six years. The implication is that he has only been filial piety for three years, which is already very good.

Su Qingmo said with a disapproving face: "Tut, this kind of regulation is really inhumane." ”

Li Qing looked at her with a black line on her face when she heard this, and said, "Miss Su, this is a regulation left by our ancestors, and we should respect it as descendants." You must not say this in front of others again, for you will be spurned by the world. ”

Su Qingmo shrugged her shoulders and replied indifferently: "Got it." ”

After lunch, Li Qing carried a bamboo basket containing several pieces of wild boar meat of different sizes and a piece of mutton and prepared to go down the mountain.

Su Qingmo thought that he hadn't found his way back for a while, and he was afraid that the time he would stay here would not be short, so he wanted to go down the mountain with him to recognize people and be familiar with the local customs here. Li Qing had a smile on his face after hearing this, and he talked a lot more along the way.

As soon as the two of them entered the village, they heard a commotion not far away, but the noise was a little far away, and there were other people's houses blocking it, so they couldn't see what was happening.

Su Qingmo has always disliked being nosy, and when she saw Li Qingzheng's hesitant face, she pulled him: "Let's quickly send this meat to your big cow brother, I just happened to show the second baby to see how his body is recovering, at this point in time, they may not have gone to the ground yet, if they delay for a while, their family will go to the ground, where can I find them?"

After hearing this, Li Qing felt that it was right, so he took Su Qingmo and hurried to Li Daniu's house.

When they arrived at the gate of Da Niu's house, the two were about to go in, and they almost collided with Li Da Niu, who was in a hurry to go out, but fortunately, Su Qingmo quickly pulled Li Qing.

"Ah, Qing Xiaozi and Su Langzhong are here? Come in, come in. Li Daniu was a little surprised when he saw that it was the two of them, so he quickly let the courtyard gate and turned around and led the two in.

It happened that there was a small stone table in the courtyard of his house, and several people sat down at the stone table.

He shouted in the direction of the kitchen again: "Baby, Su Langzhong and the young boy are here, you go and get some food." ”

The daughter-in-law of the big cow, who was busy in the kitchen, heard that they were coming, so she picked up a dozen or so pieces of fresh corn that had been cooked at noon at home, and said with a smile: "Su Langzhong, young boy, these are all things grown in their own fields, they are not worth anything, but now they are eating fresh, you can taste it, this corn is sweet?"
