Chapter 110: Three Families Share Meat
(Thanks to the book friend "Look at the Reincarnation" and "Bingxin Nuoyu" recommendation!) Wild boars, water ducks, reindeer, wild sheep and other livestock are divided into three parts, one for each family.
More than half of the grain was pulled over five or six times, and the people were very tired of carrying the reindeer and camels.
All that's left is to divide the people into three families.
Although it is divided into three, everyone still has to move around often, and the three families are just like one, but they are divided into three places to jointly maintain this big family, so they are divided very casually.
The father's side is still the original family, father, mother, full sister, eldest son, second son and third son, plus four little babies, a total of ten people, living in a stone house.
The eldest uncle, the second uncle, and the uncle's family lived together, and the eldest uncle, the mother, the second uncle, the second mother, the uncle, the aunt, the cousin, the cousin, and the two little babies, a total of 12 people, lived in the castle.
Uncle and Lao Qi's family together, Uncle Lao Qi, aunt, three cousins, a cousin, and four babies, a total of ten people, live in the stone cave.
After dividing the people, my father suddenly remembered that he still needed to mine and refine some iron tools and farm tools, which was delayed for more than two months, and he was busy until the New Year was about to stop.
Before the biggest snowfall of the winter, the three families had already lived separately.
The morning after the separation, the father called the three dogs, tied a letter to them, and asked them to bring it to the other two and get the letter back.
In order to prevent the letter from being scraped off when the dog is running or walking through the bush and grass, one copy is tied to each of the three dogs, and it is tied to the front and rear legs and stomach.
Seeing that they were all well fed, the father and eldest son gently patted the dog's buttocks, kissed the dog's furry face, pointed forward, and the dogs turned to look at it and ran out of the house.
In the anxious waiting, the three dogs returned the next day after departure when it was almost dark, which means that the journey to and from the return took only one day, which is a day faster than a human walk.
In the future, if there is an emergency, this is a very good way to report the news.
It seems that I will have to make more paper in my free time in the future to make it easier to use.
On the fifth day after the separation, my father's family began a new life in the stone house.
Upstream of them was the stone cave where the uncle lived, and the castle where they had climbed the mountain for the past two days were the eldest uncle, the second uncle and the uncle-in-law.
Downstream of them, the platform gradually decreased, and finally returned to a slowly descending ravine, which was still very steep in some places, and the water in that place was already very large, and the water that came down from the stream was as wide as a house, and in the deep place the water was almost as deep as a man, and the trees on both sides of the stream gradually increased, and the stone mountain to the right of the stone house slowly turned into a dense deep forest, impermeable.
I don't know what it looks like down there, the last time my father cleaned up the stone house, they went as far as they went, and they didn't go down again, and if you want to know what it looks like, you can only walk to see it later.
But now that they have finally settled down, the father, mother and children are very satisfied with the new house, although the other two better conditions have been given to relatives to live in, but they are not uncomfortable in their hearts, they are all their relatives, after forming a family with each other, they have now become relatives, and there is no vague hesitation to give some for their relatives, tolerate some, or even more or all, this is family affection.
As soon as it was dawn, the father and eldest son came down from the second floor where they were standing guard, and the mother was already cooking breakfast in the stove house on the first floor.
Last night her father told her that she was going out hunting today, so breakfast was made early. In fact, in the middle of the night last night, my mother quietly got up and packed up the things for my father and three sons.
Man Mei is coaxing the babies to play in the house next to the hall on the first floor, and there is a baby who woke up very early today.
The second son was sleeping in another house next to the hall on the first floor, and the third son had just slept in the standing room on the second floor.
The two women are responsible for taking care of the children, and the third son is also the backbone of the family.
Taking advantage of his mother's cooking, the eldest son called a dog and quickly reported a letter to his uncle and his family, saying that they were going to go hunting today, and that they would report anything to each other in the future.
The dog ran very fast, and came back in less than a bag of cigarettes, strapped a reply letter to his body, saying that he knew about it and reassured them.
There is no need for superfluous explanations, I have been away for many years, and everyone knows what to do.
After eating, the father took the eldest son and the second son, a steel drill, a hoe, a killing knife, an axe, a pot, two quilts, a bag of bud flour, a dozen sweet potatoes, and set off with four dogs and three little wolves.
Their destination is to go to the lower reaches of the valley, mainly to familiarize themselves with the terrain and to hunt some game back.
The days pass quickly in winter, the days are short, and the long ones are the nights.
As is customary, they walked through the snow to the last platform downstream at noon.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the father asked the children to check the neighborhood to see if there was a suitable place to spend the night.
The snow here is not deep, and in some places there is even a thin layer on the ground, and there are not many trees hanging on it, and after the wind blows, the snow that is not much can not be kept on the trees, and it basically falls to the ground, and the sound of "brushing and brushing" falling snow is heard from time to time in the mountains.
The dog and the wolf were standing guard everywhere, and the three of them looked around carefully, but they didn't find anything convenient for spending the night.
When everyone was embarrassed and felt that they were going to build a house, my father looked at the grass under the ridge in a place near the platform that seemed to be not very dense, and the roots of the weeds were faintly black, and he felt a little strange.
The father muttered to himself, "Don't be a hole," and walked over with a hoe.
Unfortunately, my father tossed the grass several times with a hoe, and found that there were hard stones underneath, and some of the stones seemed to be stacked by hand, and they were very neat, but the stones were a little older, and they all had some gray-black moss.
The father was a little disappointed, but the eldest son felt that there was a way, and pried off a few stones with a hoe, and when he was about to continue to pry, he heard the sound of the stone building up on that side of the stone all collapsed, and everyone was so frightened that they hurriedly retreated.
When everyone looked up, they saw a swarthy hole exposed in front of them.
The eldest son just looked at the stones and felt a little uncomfortable, or just wanted to dig a hole in the rocks, but he didn't expect the result to be like this. Pleasantly surprised, I stood there stupidly and didn't know what to do.
The second son hurriedly pulled a handful of hay from nearby, lit it with a fire breaker, and approached the entrance of the cave to see.
The father and the eldest son were staring ahead with a hoe and a knife to prevent anything from coming out of the hole.
