Chapter 17: Mutton

Apparently the place was low, and the footsteps of autumn had not yet spread to allow her to see the lawn.

There was water and such good grass, and after checking the signs of the surrounding grass being eaten, the tench knew that maybe this was a good place to hunt.

After looking around for a long time, she found a place with the best terrain and easy to hide. Well, she's in this place today.

I didn't expect to find such a good place, I just wanted to hunt pheasants and hares, but now, maybe I can meet a different kind of good thing!

The tench waited patiently, originally she saw that it was still early, thinking that she was not sure when to wait, but she didn't expect the surprise to come all of a sudden. A group of yellow sheep bleated and came over slowly to nibble on the grass on both sides. Three big, four small, seven, all fat, obviously the autumn fat is good.

As for why there are sheep on the mountain, whether it is a wild goat or a sheep tench deliberately raised by someone, it is not a matter of this, anyway, it is said that in recent years, due to the regulations, this cannot be raised, that cannot be raised, and many people in the village will quietly raise it in the mountains for the sake of stuttering.

Of course, such a good carnivorous tench will not be spared. But she also knew it was impossible to capture them all. I looked at the wooden stick with the blade in my hand, and I had a plan in my heart.

Aiming at a smaller lamb and shooting, the man also ran out before the sheep was in chaos, reached out and rode nimbly on the back of the largest ram, and then grabbed the horns with both hands, so that no matter how much the ram jumped and tried to throw off the tench, he could not shake it off.

A fight ensued between the woods and the rocks, and the other sheep fled in panic after the accident, and in the middle of the gap the tench looked at the lamb that he had just shot with a blade. Because the blade was too short to be fatal, although it hit the lamb in the hind leg, it was still dragged into the woods for a short distance.

The tench was in a hurry, not only because she was afraid of running away from this meat, but also because this was the most advantageous weapon in her hand at present, and she was a little distressed if she was taken away.

And the ram under her rushed to the horns of the ram everywhere among the rocks, and her hands and tigers were cracked and bleeding from the shock. The tench gritted its teeth, broke the horns of the sheep, and flipped the sheep's head to the side. As soon as the sheep fell to the ground, she quickly jumped down and picked up the big boulder and threw it on the head of the sheep that had not yet stood up.

After making sure that the ram would not get up and run again, the tench hurried to chase the little one who had run away with her, and then found the little lamb who was injured in his hind leg and could not run fast not far from the forest behind.

Right by the stream, sheep were slaughtered, skinned, gutted, and divided into small pieces......

In the evening, when the tench brought back a packed lamb, he was shocked and surprised by his uncle and Erni. I really didn't expect them to be able to eat mutton. However, these days there is a lot of meat, and although this mutton has not been eaten, it has not shocked the two too much.

For dinner, the slate roast mutton, the casserole mutton soup and the three big ones are warm. Although the seasoned mutton only has salt and ginger slices, the ginger was planted by someone else on the mountain, and she didn't put anything else, and she didn't have to put it, but the taste was still delicious in her mouth and stomach!

Of course, the third baby, who is only two or three months old, has no luck to taste the meat! She was still too young to drink rice cereal and rice oil, not even a little salt.

Although, this little lamb can be solved even by the tench itself, it is the first struggle to ask a man who has passed five years in the last days to divide the meat of the tench. But later, when she was not hungry, she was able to keep her mind calm and give her things to the remaining two to eat.

You have to comfort yourself in your heart, don't be afraid, anyway, there is meat in the mountains, and you will catch it after eating!

The meat tench of the remaining ram was not taken out, and she planned to take it to the county to exchange for some daily necessities and food. Although there is meat, but there is no food, she always feels like she has no bottom. Besides, she couldn't explain to these two people how she had become so powerful in such a short period of time, and she could hit such a big sheep. So, in order to save them trouble, the tench only told them that it was good luck to meet a flock of sheep, and then she was lucky enough to catch a lone little lamb.

With a hard meat base, all four of them slept sweetly this night.

The tench still entered the mountain the next day, and this time with the mutton guarantee, the tench was not so eager. This time, she mainly made firewood. According to the memory of the original owner, it will also snow in winter here, and when it snows, it is a difficult day for the original owner and her mother, which is particularly difficult.

Because there are no thick clothes, of course many people don't have them. Dante's family is very excessive, they don't want to work in the cold, and everyone else can sleep in the bed in the cold weather, and only instruct the mother and wife to get up to cook, wash clothes, and do all the work at home. When it doesn't snow, they send people out to collect firewood, and every winter others rest, but the two of them don't have a holiday to rest.

Eating the least and doing the most is a true portrayal of the mother.

Now that she is alive, the tench plans to prepare more firewood for the winter this morning, and she no longer wants to go out in the winter to collect firewood in the cold wind.

In the morning, I pulled a dead tree nearby, and in the afternoon, I looked for edible mountain food in the nearby mountains and hoarded it for the winter. She is like a squirrel for the winter, carrying and hoarding little by little to the house.

In the evening, I went to the ditch and fished two fish and came back to cook them. It's just that as soon as the fish was about to pot, several uninvited guests came to the door.

The tench is to take advantage of the persimmon to carry the persimmon to the house to catch the fish to pack up and bring back, and then let the brother-in-law who stayed at home and watch the child Erni cook, she is not yet dark, a little time to continue the ant moving to the house. Only this time, before I got home, I heard the sound of quarrels, abuses, and fights in front of the small house.

After listening carefully, it was determined that it was the house where he was living now, and when he ran up and arrived, he saw his second sister and two children fighting together, and the uncle arched his body and let the two children fight and kick his back.

"Those from other villages and those who lose money are not qualified to eat our fish, hand them over quickly, and if you don't hand them over, you will be killed......"

"Kick them to death, dare not hand them over......"

"Dare to bite me, let go, and if you don't let go, you'll lose money......"

"Cheap skin, my mother said, girls are all cheap skins, so you have to beat them hard, don't beat them and don't obey them......"

Seeing this scene, the tench was directly angry, threw down the back basket on his body, and then jumped directly from the weir to join the battle, stretched out his feet and kicked over the two children besieging his uncle, and went to help Erni throw out one by one, and threw two rolls with his arm.
