Chapter 115: Beating the Roe Deer

The roe deer, which looks like a deer, is much smaller than a deer.

It is covered with thick, grayish-brown bright hair, but it does not have the spots on its belly like that of sika deer. 、

Some roe deer have short three-pronged horns on the top of their heads, while others do not have long horns.

This thing has long slender legs, is extremely good at running and jumping, and runs very fast, which is usually not caught by hunting dogs.

Thinkers

Roe deer are docile by nature and have no ability to attack, so they live in groups.

He likes to inhabit places with a lot of grass and sparse trees, and often spends time in quiet bushes.

The group of roe deer in front of him looked like there were more than a dozen of them, and they were running extremely fast, and they were about to run in front of everyone.

Xu Shiyan reacted quickly, and immediately spoke up, beckoning everyone to go north to pick up this group of roe deer.

So they immediately took the bread from the south, picked up the axes, saws, and other tools in their hands, and drove the roe deer to the north.

While the roe deer was running, they saw people and panicked, and when they saw them being chased from the south with something, they turned around and ran north.

Skirting the mountain pack, there is a large shady slope to the north.

At this time, the temperature is high during the day, and the snow melts and becomes soft and loose, and at night the temperature is low, and the snow is frozen with a smooth hard cover.

The roe deer had slender legs and small hooves, and when they rushed to the snow on the shady slopes, they fell into the snow.

The snow underneath was too hard to stretch, and the roe deer was stuck in the snow and couldn't move.

There is an old saying among the mountain people, "When the snow falls, the rabbit is hunted, and the snow is turned to hunt the roe deer". That's what we're talking about.

Seeing that a dozen or so roe deer were all stuck in the snow, everyone was overjoyed.

He stepped forward with the tool in his hand, knocked it on the head, and directly knocked the roe deer down.

That's how the stick beats the roe deer.

Seeing that none of the dozen or so roe deer ran away, the big guys were very happy, so they dragged the roe deer out of the snow.

Now, I can't bother to pick up the big pole, so I will deal with the roe deer first.

"Wait a minute, I'll go up there and take a look."

Xu Shiyan felt that something was wrong, so he threw down the roe deer in his hand and looked for it in the direction that the roe deer had just run over.

After walking out for two or three miles, sure enough, in the snow among the trees, a dead roe deer was found.

A male roe deer, quite large, surrounded by blood.

I don't know what I was bitten to death, my heart, liver and lungs were all stripped away, and the flesh on my body was gnawed.

Xu Shiyan looked around, and there were still a few five-petal plum blossom footprints on the remaining snow. As soon as you look at the footprints, you know that this is a wolf.

Just now, it should be that the roe deer group was targeted by wild wolves and bit a big male roe deer to death.

The rest of the roe deer fled in panic, but they ran into them head-on, and in the end, the whole army was wiped out.

The wolf must have heard someone's movement and was scared away, leaving the carcass of the roe deer.

Xu Shiyan dragged the dead roe deer all the way back to join everyone.

"Young, Brother Xu, you are still amazing, and you picked up another one back. What did this bite you to? ”

When a few young men saw it, they were very curious, and came to look at the wound.

"It's a wolf, let's work around here, be careful." The sooner spring begins, the more careful you have to be.

Everyone looked stunned and nodded solemnly, "Well, you have to be careful."

In the future, let's go into the woods, don't be alone, a few more together. ”

Now, I don't care about picking up the big pole, so let's get the roe deer back to the field first.

A dozen or so young men each dragged a roe deer back to the field, but at this moment, they made the other teams envious.

"Didn't you go into the woods to pick up the poles? Why are you dragging the roe deer back? Where did you encounter it? ”

The young men talked about what had happened, and the others listened to it and sighed.

That's too lucky, isn't it? Just go into the mountains to pick up a big pole, and you can also meet a group of roe deer that have been driven by wolves?

Alas, there is no comparison between man and man.

Wang Jiaren also came over, looked at the roe deer made by these people under his hands, and followed suit.

"Come on, hurry up and start disemboweling and peeling the skin, it will stink after a long time."

What are you polite to all the boys? Hurriedly found a house belongings and disemboweled, skinned a dozen roe deer.

There was no need to work in the afternoon, Wang Jiaren gave these people in his team work in advance, and the big guys divided the roe deer meat and drove the carriage all the way home.

"Daughter-in-law, what do you think I brought back?"

Xu Shiyan carried half a roe deer home, and said loudly without waiting for him to enter the house.

Since I came to Donggang, I have been busy, and I have no gun in my hand, so I have no chance to go up the mountain to hunt.

The meat originally brought out along the Dongjiang River could not be held back as the weather warmed, and it had been marinated into salted meat by Su Anying, and the family had not eaten fresh meat for some days.

Xu Shiyan opened the door and entered the house as he spoke, but Su Anying was not seen in the kitchen.

stretched out his head into the east room, but saw his mother Zhou Guilan sitting on the kang, "Mom, why are you here?" ”

Xu Shiyan was stunned, why did my mother come at this time?

"What? Can't I come? Zhou Guilan glanced at her son.

"It's April, and I estimate that your daughter-in-law will give birth in half a month and twenty days.

Then I can't come and take care of it? Or would I count on you? Zhou Guilan smiled as she spoke.

"Our mother brought two old hens, a basket of eggs, and made a small quilt, small clothes, and diapers for the child."

Su Anying went down to the ground with a big belly, looking for something to let Xu Shiyan put down the meat.

"Is this roe deer meat? Didn't you go up to the mountains to work? Why is this still a roe deer? ”

Today's Su Anying is not a little daughter-in-law who didn't know anything before.

Last winter, I followed Xu Shiyan on the mountain, and I saw all the prey, and I recognized it at a glance, this is roe deer meat.

"Well, it's roe deer meat.

There were not enough poles on the mountain, so we went into the mountains to pick them up, but when we met a group of roe deer, we drove them into the snow nest on the shady slope. ”

Xu Shiyan didn't mention that the wolf bit the roe deer, for fear that his mother and daughter-in-law would worry.

"Mom, what's going on at home? As soon as I moved over, I started to get busy, and I couldn't even go back to the Lantern Festival, so there's nothing going on at home, right? ”

Xu Shiyan put the roe deer meat in a large basin, brought it to the kitchen, and went back to the house to talk to his mother.

"There's nothing going on at home, but after fifteen, I'm in charge and divide the family.

The fourth child led his daughter-in-law back to Qingling, he works over there, and the Wu family is also over there, and he followed you a few years ago to make some money, and it is enough to go out and find a house. ”

Speaking of separation, Zhou Guilan's expression was a little lonely.

As an old man, who doesn't want their children and grandchildren to be in front of them?

"Your second brother and his family moved out, and they happened to borrow the house of Lao Li Tou's family to live.

Just wait for a homestead from the team to be approved and build another house.

Xiaobo and Xiaotao will grow up in the future, and they happen to have a house for them to marry and marry a daughter-in-law. ”

Zhou Guilan thought far away, and even thought about her grandson marrying a daughter-in-law.

"Your eldest brother is with us, and when I and your father are gone, the house will be theirs.

You brothers don't have to worry about it, it's been like this since ancient times, whoever supports the elderly, the family property will be given to whomever the family property is. ”

According to the right reason, it should be divided like this, the eldest son and the long house should be for the parents to support the elderly, and everything in the family should also belong to the long house.
