Chapter 19: Stand Behind Me
followed Ajuan to their house, and when he got two taels of silver, he didn't ink, turned around and left.
In fact, Zhang Xiaochi knew that Ajuan's family did not only have this silver, you must know that the game caught in the back mountain two days ago could be sold for at least three taels.
Back home, Zhang Xiaochi handed over the silver to Lin Xiaoxi.
Lin Xiaoxi put away the silver with great care, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a lovely smile.
"Husband, our family now has thirty-nine taels of silver."
"Well, hide the silver so that it doesn't get stolen by thieves."
Zhang Xiaochi reminded softly that this amount of money was far from enough to open a restaurant, but he didn't say it, because he didn't want Lin Xiaoxi to worry about it.
"In addition to hunting, you have to find a way to make extra money."
Zhang Xiaochi muttered to himself.
On the side, Lin Xiaoxi found a hoe, only to see her move the cabinet, and then began to dig a hole in the original position of the cabinet.
"Brook, what are you?"
Zhang Xiaochi had a faint guess, but still asked.
"Dig a hole under the wardrobe and put the piggy bank inside with soil, even if a thief comes, we are not afraid of the money being stolen."
Lin Xiaoxi explained with a smile.
"I'll do it."
"No, husband, just rest, I can do this little work."
Zhang Xiaochi didn't insist, watched Lin Xiaoxi hide the piggy bank, and then got up to help move the wardrobe to its original location.
Next, after Zhang Xiaochi finished taking a bath, the two chatted for a while and then hugged each other and fell asleep.
The next day, Zhang Xiaochi got up early, cooked two bowls of egg noodles, and planned to go to the back mountain alone when he was full, but who knew that Lin Xiaoxi would also go with him.
Thinking that there are many people in the back mountain now, there should be no accident, so he took Lin Xiaoxi to the back mountain together.
He thought he had come early enough, and when the two of them arrived at the back mountain, they found that the mountain was full of people who had come to hunt.
"Husband, you see that the second aunt and Feng He are also in the crowd."
Lin Xiaoxi's eyes were sharp, and he soon found the second aunt and son.
Zhang Xiaochi followed the sound and found that the second aunt and other villagers were lined up, each holding a wooden stick in their hands, and their eyes were staring at the direction of the depths of the mountain.
"Second aunt, what are they doing here?"
Lin Xiaoxi looked over there suspiciously and asked softly.
Zhang Xiaochi was also a little confused, so at this time, a villager from the same village happened to be passing by, so he stopped the other party and asked.
"My second aunt, what are they doing here?"
The man was still a little impatient, but when he saw that it was Zhang Xiaochi, he couldn't help but be dissatisfied.
"They're waiting for the beast tide to come."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaochi roughly understood what was going on, the second aunt and the others must be waiting for the panicked beast to run out of the mountains, and then wait for the rabbit.
"Second aunt, did she do the same two days ago?"
"Yes."
"Thank you."
Zhang Xiaochi's eyes were sharp, and he naturally found that the other party was a little impatient, so he didn't ask any more questions and asked the villagers to leave first.
"Husband, it seems that there are indeed a lot of prey, otherwise the second aunt would not have chosen this method."
Zhang Xiaochi nodded slightly, their method was very stupid, but they were able to catch the prey, and the combination of the two could be judged that there were indeed many prey escaping from the deep mountains.
"That's not a good sign."
Zhang Xiaochi whispered to himself.
However, his vigilance in his heart is vigilant, but it does not prevent him from making money.
Zhang Xiaochi did not join the second aunt's pair, but took Lin Xiaoxi to avoid crowded places, and groped around like everyone else.
Time passed, and it had been two hours since Zhang Xiaochi and his family entered the back mountain, and in these two hours, everyone did not see a single prey.
But Zhang Xiaochi found that instead of being discouraged, these people were even more excited.
No one spoke in the mountains, and Zhang Xiaochi keenly sensed that perhaps the beast tide was coming.
Sure enough, after waiting for about a stick of incense, there was movement from the depths of the mountain.
"Creek, stand behind me."
Zhang Xiaochi didn't know what the animal that ran out this time was, just in case, so he ordered Lin Xiaoxi to avoid Lin Xiaoxi from being the first to be harmed.
Brush Brush Brush!
Brush Brush Brush Brush ......
As the sound got closer and closer, a fat hare suddenly sprang out of the weeds.
Fast, too fast.
Seeing that the hare was about to jump past Zhang Xiaochi, but at this moment, Zhang Xiaochi came first, and the firewood knife in his hand flew out with a whoosh.
The next second, the hare let out a scream, and then fell to the ground without moving.
On the mountain, Zhang Xiaochi's side was the first to move, so that everyone subconsciously looked at him, the hare appeared too abruptly, in this case, he couldn't react at all, but Zhang Xiaochi successfully caught it.
"This kid is too rebellious, isn't he?"
"What kind of reflexes are these?"
"Is it all because I married a daughter-in-law that I became powerful?"
……
The villagers of Wagang Village talked a lot, and when they looked at Lin Xiaoxi one by one, their eyes were much hotter.
"Big brother, good job!"
Not far away, Zhang Fenghe happily congratulated loudly.
Zhang Xiaochi nodded at Zhang Fenghe, and asked Lin Xiaoxi to carry the hare, while he picked up the firewood knife and waited solemnly.
"It's coming!"
As soon as the words fell, this time, not only Zhang Xiaochi's side, but also the second aunt and their side suddenly drilled out a lot of panicked small animals, and for a while, the atmosphere in the mountains instantly became lively.
Zhang Xiaochi calmed down, and did not mess up like others, his eyes were sharp, and the firewood knife in his hand was like a guided weapon, every time he flew out, a prey would fall to the ground.
In a short time, Zhang Xiaochi harvested three hares and two pheasants.
"Husband, there's a big wild boar over there with the second aunt!"
At this moment, Lin Xiaoxi's voice reminded Zhang Xiaochi.
He turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a wild boar with long fangs, charging at them fiercely.
"Second aunt, they are in danger."
Zhang Xiaochi's face was solemn, and he visually saw that the wild boar was three hundred catties, but it was still a male wild boar, although this animal was a vegetarian, but in the case of anger, it was comparable to a small tank.
Before the crossing, there were more incidents of wild boars injuring people abroad than carnivorous beasts.
"Second aunt, Fenghe is running to me!"
Seeing such a big wild boar, the second aunt and the others had no intention of fighting at all, and they were so frightened that they ran away.
Hearing Zhang Xiaochi's voice, the second aunt, who was running around like a headless fly, seemed to have a backbone, grabbed Zhang Fenghe and decisively fled towards Zhang Xiaochi's side.
"Ah......h
Suddenly, a scream came, and a person from another village was chased by a wild boar, and the snow-white fangs directly pierced the thigh of the person from the outside villager, and the person was also knocked three or four meters away by the wild boar in a rage.
There were also professional hunters who came to the mountain this time, and after hearing the movement, a group of people took the guy and surrounded the wild boar.
