Chapter 18: The heart is moved
After dinner, I went to the entrance of the village to take a look and found that the bonfire at the entrance of the village was bright.
Zhang Xiaochi did not linger at the entrance of the village, and after taking a look, he returned home in the dark.
"Husband, what's the situation at the entrance of the village?"
"People from other villages are camping at the entrance of the village, and it seems that these people will not leave in a short time."
Zhang Xiaochi replied.
Because there were many people going to the back mountain, Zhang Xiaochi had no intention of going to the back mountain to set traps, and the two talked privately for a while, and then hugged each other and fell asleep.
The next day, after breakfast, Zhang Xiaochi began to be busy building a house.
While he was busy working, Wagang Village also ushered in a group of people from other villages who rushed to hear the news, and the number of people from other villages who came here to hunt also reached more than 50, and the number was still increasing.
The people from other villages camping in Wagang Village even organized a group to go to the back mountain as soon as it was dawn, and even the second aunt next door got up early and took Zhang Fenghe to the back mountain to try their luck.
Zhang Xiaochi didn't join in the fun, and concentrated on his own affairs.
After going on like this for two days, a kitchen with a standard area appeared in the courtyard, and next to the kitchen, there was also a bathroom that Zhang Xiaochi specially built for Lin Xiaoxi.
"Husband, it's hard work."
Lin Xiaoxi's face was full of smiles, she was very satisfied with this bathroom, of course, even more satisfied with Zhang Xiaochi's attitude towards her, because she cared, so she would always think about her.
In this era of man supremacy, almost everyone is machismo, especially from poor families, and people don't care about women's thoughts.
Being able to marry a man who cares about him, Lin Xiaoxi was happy in his heart, and for a moment, he even felt that his ancestor must have accumulated virtue.
Zhang Xiaochi naturally didn't know that his random move made Lin Xiaoxi feel so emotional, after all, this kind of thing, before crossing over, was very normal.
"I'm tired and sweating all day, Xiaoxi, you should boil water and bathe early."
"I'll go out and have a look."
"Hmm."
Lin Xiaoxi nodded very obediently.
I picked up the bucket and threw it into the well, but the bucket was a bit heavy with water and it was difficult to pull it up.
Suddenly, a black shadow enveloped her, Zhang Xiaochi appeared from behind, stretched out a pair of big hands to pull the rope, and said softly.
"I'll come."
Two simple words fell into Lin Xiaoxi's ears and made her feel very happy.
"Thank you, husband."
"What are you polite to me?"
Zhang Xiaochi glared and pretended to be angry.
After helping Lin Xiaoxi fetch a few buckets of water, Zhang Xiaochi walked out of the yard and walked towards the entrance of the village.
It's five o'clock in the afternoon, and the people who went to hunt in the back mountain should be about to descend the mountain.
When I came to the entrance of the village, I found that there were many people around the place where the villagers often gathered, and many of them carried pheasants or hares and other small animals in their hands.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Xiaochi was surprised in his heart, the prey in the hands of these people combined, to say the least, more than ten, when did Houshan become so easy to hunt?
Zhang Xiaochi was curious, and rushed over to find a middle-aged man and asked.
"This big brother, you have such a rich harvest, are there many small animals in the back mountain?"
"Yes, there are two waves of beasts coming out of the mountains today, and I also caught a wild boar of more than sixty catties in the morning!"
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaochi couldn't help but glance at the middle-aged man more, a wild boar of more than sixty catties, the attack power is extraordinary, this person can hunt, and he is also a capable person.
Of course, Zhang Xiaochi was more concerned about why there was a beast tide, so he continued to ask.
"Big brother, do you think there is anything wrong with the appearance of these beast tides?"
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and then said seriously and seriously.
"The more beast tides, the more pressure we have, because when the time comes, more people will join in, and the more people there are, the more competitive pressure will increase."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaochi was speechless for a while, and originally wanted to induce him to say that it was caused by the beast, but now it seems that people have not considered this aspect at all.
While the two were talking, someone came down from the back mountain again, and the two people who walked in front actually carried a big wild boar weighing one or two hundred pounds, which really stunned a group of people at the entrance of the village.
Zhang Xiaochi was also shocked, even such a big wild boar can be hit, just this wild boar can definitely be sold for a good price.
Behind the two men carrying the wild boar, the others returned with the same load, and although the harvest was not so great, the least of them was two pheasants.
Even, Zhang Xiaochi saw the second aunt carrying a hare behind the crowd.
The second aunt also saw Zhang Xiaochi, she pulled Zhang Fenghe over, and said with a smile.
"Xiaochi, the back mountain is full of game today, with your hunting skills, the harvest on the mountain will definitely be better than anyone else."
The second aunt was in a very good mood, and there was a harvest for three consecutive days, and the game caught in the mountains two days ago had already increased the family by 500 yuan out of thin air, and she firmly believed that in two days, the extra income would exceed one or two.
This had to be put on hold before, and she couldn't even think of such a thing.
Zhang Xiaochi was a little moved, he used to set traps to capture prey because he couldn't see them during the day, but now there are many prey during the day, and he can use traps at all.
Of course, the most important thing is that he is now busy with the business at hand.
"Okay, I'll go up the mountain tomorrow and try it too."
"Big brother, aren't you worried about beasts?"
On the side, Zhang Fenghe asked innocently.
"There are so many people, even if there are fierce beasts, we don't have to be afraid."
Zhang Xiaochi smiled slightly, and suddenly, Yu Guang found that Ajuan's family appeared carrying a wild deer.
"Ajuan's family is really lucky, and they caught wild deer for two days out of three days."
The second aunt also saw Ajuan's family, and the envious expression on her face couldn't be concealed at all.
Zhang Xiaochi's eyes lit up, and he walked towards him with his hands behind his back.
"Luckily, you've made a lot of money from hunting these days, right?"
Ajuan's family was still immersed in the joy of the harvest just now, and when they saw Zhang Xiaochi appear, the family's face suddenly drooped, they didn't speak, and they didn't need to ask to know that Zhang Xiaochi must have come to ask them to pay back.
"Why do you have to pay back the ten taels of silver you owe me?"
"Zhang Xiaochi, don't deceive people too much!"
"How much do I deceive?"
Zhang Xiaochi was amused by them and couldn't help but ask.
"It's natural to repay debts, why do you want to pay back, as if it's me wrong?"
"Obviously you took the initiative to give me the money, and now you want to pay it back!"
"Don't talk so much nonsense, pay back the money quickly."
Zhang Xiaochi made a straight face, finished speaking, and deliberately released a trace of murderous aura coming down from the battlefield, and at this moment, he directly suppressed Ajuan's family.
"I can only pay you back two taels of silver first!"
"Bring it."
"The silver is at home, I need to go back and get it."
"I'll go with you."
