Chapter 885: Killing Birds

You've got to figure it out. Li Fu hurriedly said a word, but his mind was blank, and he didn't have a way for his son to refer to.

When I go to bed at night, I can't sleep with my pillow stuffed high, I always think about what I have said to my son during the day, and I think of a way to help my son. He was thinking about the shotgun, concentrating his thoughts, and suddenly there was a nightingale outside, which disturbed his thoughts, but this cry triggered his inspiration, and a good way to help his son came up with it, and he screamed happily, and patted the quilt while screaming, and woke up his wife, who was sleeping beside him.

Before my wife understood, she asked: Lao Li, what is your name? Three watches in the middle of the night. I came up with a good idea. Li Fu was about to say it, when he heard the nightingale's cry again, and he said that I have to thank the nightingale, if it hadn't reminded me, I would still be searching for dry intestines!

My wife still sounded inexplicable, and shouted: Don't talk about it, if you have something to say tomorrow.

The next day, his wife didn't ask again, and Li Fu didn't say, as soon as he got up early in the morning, he ran to his son and said, I have come up with a good way to help you.

Dad, what a good way to say it quickly. Now the four-legged wild things in this area are basically exhausted, and the two-legged ones are hit, that is to say, the ones that run on the ground are exhausted, and then they are beaten in the sky.

Hearing this, Li Gui understood, you mean hitting birds flying in the sky.

Yes! It is. Li Fu spoke energetically. Li Gui moved his eyes, and said while thinking, Dad, you said that the way to hunt birds, I haven't thought about it, except for birds such as pheasants, turtle doves, and partridges, some people can sell them for a price, and other birds, such as sparrows, robins, etc., no one eats them, and they are not used to eating, even if they hunt more, it is in vain. Besides, it is impossible for pheasants, turtledoves, partridges, and other birds to come up with my muzzle every day.

Li Fu saw that his son's enthusiasm was not high, and he was still worried. He said, "Can't you change it?" Li Gui asked how to change the law, Li Fu said that there was a way, in fact, he came up with an idea, but he didn't want to say it now, but he still said what he should say.

He said, "Even if you hunt sparrows, you will keep someone to eat them."

Li Gui said, okay, I'll go hunt some sparrows today and see if anyone eats.

At this time, Li Gui's mind was full of sparrows gathering and foraging in the rice fields and threshing fields, and he seemed to hear their chirping and even the sound of their wings pulling.

There were other birds, he no longer imagined, only imagined that it would be easy to shoot sparrows, for example, hiding somewhere in a flock of sparrows in the wild, and suddenly taking a stone and throwing it, the sparrows would fly in a clump, and when they raised their wings and left the ground, they would take the opportunity to pull the trigger and release a gun, and the ball of bullets that came out of the black gun tube would immediately expand into a cone in the air, and carry a little spark, which would rain down on the sparrows.

If you have good luck, you can kill dozens of sparrows with one shot.

Li Fu said with confidence, you go and fight, give me the sparrows you called, and I will help sell them.

Li Gui knew that Li Fu was not joking, he also got serious, walked into the room and took out the shotgun, which is also called a gun in the local area, and it is a gun for building medicine and releasing bullets.

Now he sat in the doorway, with a pack of black in his hand, opened it, and carefully loaded the medicine in the barrel.

At this moment, the cry of a child was heard in the house. Li Gui loves children very much, he hurriedly put down his work, walked into the room, and saw that it was his son who was crying, and his son covered his face with his hands and burst into tears.

The wife was sitting on the sidelines, and the youngest daughter was burying her head in her arms and breastfeeding. She said to Li Gui, the child is older, this milk is not enough, just now I pushed away the son who was lying in his arms and let his sister eat, he howled and cried, who is to blame?

Hearing this, Li Gui felt that he had a heavy responsibility that could not be shirked, that is, to quickly save money, buy milk powder or something, and make up for the lack of milk for the two children.

He instinctively squatted down, picked up Li Xiongbing, who was still crying, and said Good boy, don't cry, Dad, go hunting today and save money to buy you something delicious.

I'm going to eat candy. Li Xiongbing, who answered, really stopped crying.

Li Gui hugged him for a while, and then put it down, but Li Xiongbing refused, stretched out his hands and wanted to hug him.

Li Gui said that Dad wants to go to the mountains to hunt, and if he stays at home like this, there will be no way to hunt, and there will be no way to go to the street to buy candy and fruit for you.

Look at you and you will coax. Wu Juying finished her milk Ruhua, said a word to Li Gui, and went to do housework.

Li Gui didn't hear it, coaxed the child, and then took the shotgun with the medicine and bullets and stepped out of the gate, and walked along a rope to the village road in the mountains and forests behind the house.

Li Fu, who was at home, concluded that his son could only come back by hunting some birds when he went to the top of the mountain, and if he didn't cooperate with him, it would be useless.

Then, Li Fu acted according to the method he had already come up with, went to the street and bought an oven, a pan, a teapot, and a big bowl, packed these things in a snakeskin bag, put them on his back, and returned to the yard in front of his son's house, and then picked up a load of water and put it beside him, and got some dry wood to burn the stove, and the fire started, and he picked up the wooden bucket of water and filled the teapot with water and boiled it on the stove.

What does it have to do with the bird hunting and coming back? The few children who gathered around to see it didn't know, they just watched him set up a shelf to boil water, which was fun.

This is dusk, and it is said that no matter how much prey Li Gui has hit, it is time to go back, even if he hasn't hunted even a small bird, it is still time to go back.

But he didn't reply, the water was already boiling, Li Fu put the pot down, and didn't add any more firewood, so he went around to the corner of the house to see if Li Gui came down from the mountain.

Sure enough, a person came down from the mountain, he was carrying a shotgun, and there was a string of birds hanging from the front rod and back handle of the shotgun, he was Li Gui.

Li Fu shouted excitedly, son, you are really good!

Li Gui approached him and said: Dad, I don't know what effect I have after beating these many birds!

It's a big deal, you come with me. Li Fu said, and went back to the yard where the stove was set up to boil water.

Li Gui walked over, took down the two strings of dead birds with their heads hanging on the shotgun and threw them on the ground, and some birds only injured one leg or one wing, and were pulsating on the ground, and when Li Gui kicked with his foot, they screamed in horror.

These poor birds, dead or alive, include thrushes, chaffinch, and sparrows, and Li Gui is still famous, and some are not famous, and I don't know if I ask Li Fu.

Li Fu untied a live bird with a flower wing that had injured one leg from the string rope and said to Li Gui: I will put these birds in boiling water like chickens, scald them, and then roast them and send them to the street, and someone will buy them.

Oh! Dad wants to start a barbecue business. Li Guimao said suddenly, a smile appeared on his gloomy face.

He wanted to pass the chirping live bird in Li Fu's hand again, pick up a pot of boiling water and pour it into an empty bowl, until the boiling water was full.

Then he threw the live bird in his hand into the bowl, and was soon scalded to death, and as he died, it struggled and pulsed, making a splash of water, and after a few blows, it did not move.

The scalded look was miserable, the whole corpse floated on the steaming water, the pair of eyes on the head had not yet closed, the two rice-sized eyeballs had turned dull beige, like two unwiped eye droppings, Li Gui, who felt a little disgusted, took his eyes off the corpse of the burning bird.
