Chapter 58: Pangolins
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, seeing that Aunt Niu was smiling as if a flower was blooming on her face, the two of them couldn't say anything too ugly.
Zhang took the dried sweet potato and went to the kitchen.
Seeing this, Aunt Niu walked into the house, her eyes glanced around, looking for something, afraid of being seen, when she came out, she took a bench in her hand, sat in the yard, and had no intention of leaving.
"Aunt Niu, are you planning to make a nest in my house? Don't want your baby son anymore? Li Yumei joked and looked around, but she really didn't see that bastard boy, it was a little strange.
"I'll just chat with you and enhance the relationship between neighbors." I couldn't hear whether it was a joke or a sarcasm, and Aunt Niu didn't care, she watched Zhang come out of the house, and began to gossip: "There is a woman who married into her husband's family, and she hasn't been pregnant for a few years, and her man beats and scolds her at every turn, and she also got involved with other women in front of that woman, shouting that she wants to take a concubine." ”
Speaking of which, it aroused the curiosity of Zhang and Li Yumei.
As soon as she reached the climax, she didn't say anything, Li Yumei's lips pursed into a line, and her speech was still harsh: "Say, why do you still learn what others play to get away with it." ”
This is a very meaningful statement on this occasion.
Aunt Niu's face turned red with anger, and she continued to speak sullenly.
On the hill behind the house.
Ye Shu'er stared carefully at the marks on the trunk, she had set several traps before, and she hadn't come to see it for a few days, so she didn't know if she had any gains.
There is a lot of game in the mountains, and there are hunters who specialize in hunting and make a living from it.
There were animal footprints on the ground, and she could see a few pieces of animal shells shedding, and her eyes instantly lit up and she quickened her pace.
"Daughter-in-law, be careful!"
As soon as Xue Zhi'an's words fell, Ye Shu'er felt a lightness on her body, listening to the sound of the bell, she looked down with hindsight, and it was actually a beast trap with a large head, and the sharp giant teeth were attached together.
She shrank into Xue Zhi'an's arms, and her tone trembled with fear: "Zhi'an, thank you......."
"It's okay." Xue Zhi'an cut off her words, put her firmly on the ground, and walked past her in front: "Don't be afraid, daughter-in-law, I'll lead the way." ”
Ye Shu'er nodded, looking at his back, with a strong sense of security, an illusion, she followed quickly.
Ye Shu'er couldn't have imagined that there would be so many traps here, Xue Zhi'an was in front and pointed out several points to her, if she didn't know that she had entered here by mistake, she would have her leg broken alive by these traps.
In fact, since the Xue family began to catch a lot of game in the mountains, the minds of other people in the village have also become lively, and there are more people catching prey on the mountain.
Feeling that her feet were weak, she sullenly asked, "How do you know?" ”
It's not far from the trap they have set.
Xue Zhi'an smiled proudly and pointed to a finger-sized cloth rope on the tree: "These are the marks of the Orion. ”
Ye Shu'er slapped her forehead in hindsight, it was so simple, she actually ignored it.
Siss.
What sound?
She instantly refreshed and closed her eyes to listen.
Siss.
"Shhhh
She moved up to the right in a whisper, and across the grass, she saw a pangolin on the flat ground, lying on the ant hole to eat, and it was seven or eight pounds!
This thing is not a protected animal, but a good medicinal herb!
She squinted her eyes and gestured to Xue Zhi'an, and she didn't know if he understood, so she took a detour first.
Xue Zhi'an also went around the back of the pangolin.
"Up!"
Ye Shu'er let out a low shout, and the two rushed over synchronously, forming an encirclement momentum, forcing the pangolin to run down to the left.
Clang!
The pangolin triggers a trap, but only catches its tail, and it runs even harder.
Xue Zhi settled, looked at her with worried eyes, and hurriedly reminded: "Daughter-in-law beware of traps." ”
"I know."
Ye Shu'er saw clearly for her own feet, avoided the trap, and urged him: "Zhi'an, hurry, hurry it over!" ”
As soon as the two people cooperated, the pangolin staggered and turned around, and suddenly curled up in a ball, not paying attention to it, and became one with the soil.
"It's here!"
Ye Shu'er stepped forward happily and tied up the pangolin with a rope, and after weighing it, her eyebrows and eyes smiled crookedly: "I miscalculated, this must be ten catties!" ”
"Wow." Xue Zhi'an happily helped, and after setting the trap, the two went down the mountain together.
When I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I heard the sound of conversation inside, and I said it very violently, and I thought it was a quarrel if I didn't pay attention to it.
Ye Shu'er pushed open the door, and when she saw Aunt Niu, she still called out of politeness: "Auntie." ”
Aunt Niu kept talking, but when she saw people coming back, her eyes were fixed on the pangolin, her eyes were straight, and she stammered when she spoke: "This, this is you, you caught it?" ”
How could this be that all the good things were caught up by her Xue family?
Her envious eyes have a lot of jealousy!
"Hmm." Ye Shu'er responded perfunctorily, and then looked at Zhang: "Mother, this pangolin is very stubborn, and it will not let go easily when it is hugged, it will make holes, and it has to be put in the tank." ”
With that, she headed for the kitchen.
Aunt Niu's eyes moved with the pangolins, watching them enter the house, her throat rolled, and she smiled: "It's so lucky, what, I'm also busy with my business." With that, she sat up, patted her ass on the non-existent ash, and left.
Xue Zhi'an followed behind Ye Shu'er, poured the water in the tank, moved the tank to the hard stone, and spread a layer of soil on the bottom, so that the pangolin could not get out of the soil.
Ye Shu'er looked at the pangolin that was still curled up, and she was helpless, and after putting it in, she also said: "It's too easy to run, sell it early and feel at ease." ”
"You two are amazing, you can catch such a difficult pangolin." Zhang's eyebrows and eyes were all satisfied smiles: "Tomorrow we will go to the town to sell." ”
Li Yumei looked at the things in the tank and asked indifferently: "How much can this thing be worth if it looks ugly?" ”
"You crow's mouth, you don't sell it, you say these foolish things, and you don't feed the chickens?" Zhang glared at her coldly.
The most taboo thing to sell is to say something that is not good for selling.
Li Yumei's face was instantly deflated, she turned around, rolled her eyes and went to the chicken coop.
"Ahh
A scream clearly spread from the back of the yard to the front, and several people thought something was wrong, so they hurriedly hurried to the backyard, looking at the basket that Li Yumei originally held quail eggs in her hand, which was empty at the moment.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"Where's our eggs?" Zhang took the basket, the haystacks were flattened, not to mention the eggs, there was not a single shell, she even slapped her thigh and scolded: ", it's a burglary in broad daylight!" ”
Ye Shu'er rolled her eyes and fixed on the wall, there was a half-sized shoe print on the top of the wall, she measured it with her hands, and came up with the result: "This is a child's foot, estimated to be about ten years old." ”
"Aunt Niu's son! I also thought that Aunt Niu came to our house to sit because of the evil spirit, and it turned out to be a cover for her son! Zhang was woken up at once, and walked out with a basket in a huff: "I must still be eating at this time!" ”
It was a quail egg that Xiaobao didn't have a chance to eat a few more, Li Yumei hesitated, and then grabbed Xue Lao Er to follow.
Song asked the eldest girl to look at Xiaobao and keep up with Boss Xue.
Ye Shu'er also pulled Xue Zhi'an and hurriedly followed.
