Chapter 977: Famine, Natural Disasters 134
"You, you."
Cheng Yuanxi was also angry, pointing at his son's momentary speechlessness.
Chen Daya relieved herself and said busily: "Wait for them to come back and teach a lesson, first tell the eldest brother and second brother to hurry up the mountain, my etiquette; Dead girl, let her not go far, she still runs into the mountains, you are used to it. ”
"Don't worry, I'll call the eldest brother and the second brother to go up the mountain."
Seeing the sun slanting in the west, Cheng Yuanxi was anxious and ran to find Cheng Yuandong and Cheng Yuannan, "Big brother, second brother, hurry, bring all the hemp rope at home and follow me; Righteousness, honesty, wisdom, and faith together. ”
"Third brother, what's wrong, what's wrong?"
Cheng Yuandong saw that his face was anxious, and he hurriedly asked.
"Bring your things and go first, it's too late to explain."
Cheng Yuanxi ran back to his house and pulled out two hemp ropes and a straw rope from the board car; When he turned around, he saw Cheng Yuandong, Cheng Yuannan, and Mingyi brothers holding two straw ropes or hemp ropes in their hands, and hurriedly beckoned people to go up the mountain.
"Mingli, lead the way."
"Here we are."
Cheng Mingli was obedient and obediently took them up the mountain.
There was a great deal of movement here, and the people of the tribe were alarmed, and when they saw them walking up the mountain with a rope, they had to discuss a few words.
"Is this another game hunt?"
"It should be, so many ropes, it shouldn't be small."
"Look at the youngest grandchild of Uncle Dazhu's family, that's a real thing; There is always a harvest in the mountains, and they eat the best on the way to escape the wilderness. ”
"Who makes people brave enough to go into the mountains to find food, our children don't have that ability, and I don't look forward to how they will come out, just live."
"I don't know what big thing I hit, and I took so much rope."
"Forget it, all work, hurry up and work, where will you sleep tonight?"
The patriarch roared, and everyone couldn't care about what good things other people's families had anymore, so they didn't do anything and waited for the open air at night?
Cheng Mingli, who was walking in the mountains, looked back from time to time to see if people were keeping up, he was relaxed and appropriate, while Cheng Yuanxi and others worked hard to adjust their breath and try their best to breathe evenly.
It took two quarters of an hour to reach the ground, which shows how deep they had gone into the mountains.
"Daddy, Daddy, look." Cheng Mingxin stood in the overgrown grass and pointed to the side of the stream.
The people of the Ming Dynasty followed the sound and looked in the direction pointed by Cheng Mingxin, only to see the dark one standing in gray and black clothes and holding a sword; Mingyi wandered around a pile of game, not knowing what she was thinking.
Coincidentally, Cheng Mingxin's voice interrupted Mingyi's contemplation, causing her to come back to her senses and look at them with her prestige.
"Dad, uncle, second uncle, cousin." Mingyi jumped in place and waved his hand, "Here and here." ”
Cheng Mingli ran over with a light effort, "Sister, why is there another blind bear, why is there a tiger and a big python!" My sister yes, it's scary. ”
"Good boy, it's not hurt, is it?" Cheng Yuanxi only stepped forward and pulled his daughter left and right to look around, where did he remember the matter of men's and women's defense.
Mingyi shook her head with a smile, "Dad, I'm fine, there's a dark one; He did a lot of work with these prey. ”
Cheng Yuanxi looked up at the bored dark one, "Thank you for protecting the little girl." ”
"Mr. Cheng is serious, the prince sent me here to protect Mrs. Cheng, it is all what I should do, and I should not thank Mr. Cheng." Dark one.
"Thank you anyway." After Cheng Yuanxi finished speaking, he glanced at his daughter several times, seeing Mingyi jumping around, her expression was smart, and her nervous heart eased down, "It's getting dark, let's quickly pack up and take these down the mountain; The mountains at night are more dangerous than during the day. ”
He nodded and pointed to the three rafts by the stream.
Mingyi said: "Dad, I got a raft in the dark, and the prey was tied up and dragged down the mountain faster; It's just that the road in the mountains is not easy to walk, and it will be tiring. ”
"There is so much game to be afraid of, what is tiring." Cheng Yuanxi didn't make his own claim, but asked: "Dark man, these prey are you who fight, how do you think you deal with them?" ”
Darkly looked at Mingyi and said, "I followed Cheng Xiaoniang up the mountain, and the prey belongs to her." ”
"This" Cheng Yuanxi couldn't make up his mind and hesitated.
Mingyi looked at it with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Secretly opened his mouth to break the siege, "Cheng Xiaoniang is very powerful, she fights more than me; There is no need to twist and pinch like this, the prey is brought down the mountain and sent to a restaurant in the city overnight, maybe it can be sold for a good price. ”
"Dark One"
"Alright, don't say any more, it's getting late." Dark one interrupted Cheng Yuanxi, who was so entangled that he didn't know how to excuse himself.
Cheng Yuanxi sighed lightly, "That's okay, let's go down the mountain quickly; The eldest brother and the second brother help tie up the prey, Mingyi, a few of you also help. ”
The group moved, but Mingyi couldn't help.
Three rafts are not too big, three wild boars are tied to one raft, and the rest of the raft can only be tied to one bear.
They had no choice, in order to get down the mountain early, they chose to use local materials; Two rafts were made, one tied to a tiger and the other tied to a python.
five rafts, three brothers of Cheng Yuanxi, plus four big men of Mingyi, a total of seven people; Cheng Yuandong shouted that Cheng Minglian pulled a fight, Cheng Yuannan and Cheng Mingxin pulled a fight, and Cheng Mingyi and Cheng Mingzhi pulled a fight.
The remaining two were given to Cheng Yuanxi and Mingli, and the dark one and Mingyi.
In this way, it can barely be taken down the mountain.
If there are only six wild boars, they can be taken away; Three more heads are not other prey, and the weight is doubled.
Just that big python, let alone 500 catties up; A bear is 300 catties, and a tiger is less than 200 catties.
Thousands of pounds of prey, plus wild boars cannot be estimated; When going down the mountain, Dark One and Mingyi dragged the python and the tiger, and it was much easier than ordinary people to drag it with internal force.
Cheng Yuanxi and Mingli are pulling bears, and Mingli has the internal strength to help with half of his strength.
When night falls, we finally reach the foot of the mountain.
When you reach the bottom of the mountain, you can finally take a breath and don't have to worry about the dangers in the mountain; Cheng Yuandong and the others were relieved and sat on the ground.
Cheng Mingli, Mingyi and Dian Yi stood steadily, not as tired as them, but they were also sweating profusely.
"Look, isn't that Uncle Dazhu's?"
"Really."
"What are they pulling?"
"O prey! I can't see this clearly, your eyes are not good. ”
The people came to them in unison.
"Yuanxi, Yuandong, Yuannan, have you come back from hunting so many prey?"
"You can't finish eating so much, come, we'll help you pull it back; Pack it up early and cook it. ”
"Help the handle, and eat meat later."
There are those who want to take advantage of the first shouting.
Cheng Yuanxi got up and patted the dust on his body, cheering up to deal with it, "The big guy has a heart, we are going to take it to the city and sell it immediately; Take advantage of the freshness to sell it at a good price, and let the big guy go! ”
"Big brother, second brother, Mingyi, dark adult, let's go." Cheng Yuanxi turned his head and shouted, giving his son a look, and the father and son took the lead in pulling up
