Chapter Twenty-Three: Hunting in the Mountains
As soon as I heard that I was going to go to the town to buy something, I went out.
Or go to the town market they haven't been to, this not only makes the adults want to go to the town market, but the juniors of the Huang family are also looking forward to Huang Yaozi and Huang Zhang's arranging for them to go to the town market.
It can be seen that during this time, they were busy collecting medicines and concocting medicinal materials day and night, and they were tired.
"Just the third child, the third family, Tiandong, Mai Dong, Atractylodes, Atractylodes, Aster, Red Peony and Susu, plus the second child, you have gone to the town to buy things last time.
If you want to buy something, I'll write a piece of paper to you later, and you buy it according to what is written on the paper. Huang Zhang's eyes swept everyone, she saw that the second child's eyes were bright, obviously wanted to go to the town, but he didn't shout to go, it seems that Su Su's method before was still very effective, if it was in the past, he would have shouted a long time ago.
This made Huang Zhang's have a feeling that my family has just grown up, Huang Zhang's thought, can't press the second child too tightly, and if appropriate, he should also relax and relax, this time let the second child also go to the town to buy things.
"Okay! Mother, I promise to complete the task you assigned. Huang Lian said with a grin when he saw that his mother asked him to go to town this time.
Although there was a lot more work to do during this period than before, Coptis chinensis did not feel very hard, but after getting used to it, it became natural.
Do more work by yourself, let your father and mother worry less about snacks, and sister-in-law less stabbing herself and her own mother, Huang Lian feels that it is all worth it.
Home and everything is prosperous, and work is energetic.
"Third child, if you go to the town tomorrow, you pick a few medicinal herbs to go to the town and sell them to the pharmacy in the town to make some money, otherwise you won't have money to buy these things."
"Dad, I know, I also have a few kinds of medicinal herbs in my heart to sell to the pharmacy in the town." Huang Bai nodded knowingly.
"Second brother, let's get up early tomorrow, go to the mountains, hunt more prey, and sell it in the town tomorrow, and we can exchange it for some silver." Huang Shisu and Mai Dong have recently hunted prey to their stomachs, and they have no idea of hoarding them for money.
First, the Huang family has channels and means to make money, and they don't need hunting to make money.
Second, it is impossible for their family to eat vegetables and pasta every day, and they always have to eat oil and water into their stomachs to be full.
Therefore, these days, the prey that Huang Shisu and they brought back was sacrificed to their family's five internal organs.
"Susu, Brother Ming'er is also with you." Huang Tiandong Road.
"And me." "And me." The two brothers Atractylodes and Atractylodes said in unison.
"Grandma, I want to go to the town too, and I will go to the town tomorrow." Bai Shao saw that their brothers and sisters had gone to the town and left alone, and she suddenly became anxious.
"You're still young, we've settled here for a short time, and you're not familiar with this place, if you go to the town and get photographed away, you won't be able to find it back then, and there's no place to cry." Huang Shisu mercilessly rejected the little granddaughter.
I didn't look at her aggrieved appearance, and I was upset when I saw it, so as not to agree as soon as my heart softened.
"Ming'er can't go to the town, and it's the same for the third sister Ming'er to take you up the mountain to hunt and play." Huang Zisu saw that Bai Shao's girl was holding back tears and pouting aggrievedly, so pitiful, she touched Bai Shao's head a little funny.
Her grandmother's worries are not exaggerated, she was really taken away by the flowers, in this era, in ancient times when transportation and communication were not developed, ten out of ten would not be able to find it.
On the second day, halfway through the hour, the four brothers Huang Zisu and Huang Tiandong got up and washed up, and each took a bow and arrow and walked to the back mountain of Yunhe Village.
It is worth mentioning that since Huang Shisu can use bows and arrows to hit the prey and fill his stomach, Huang Tiandong, Huang Baizhu, and Huang Cangzhu have all practiced bows and arrows with Huang Shisu.
The earliest Huang Mai Dong that I learned was already at a certain level, and I could hit three or four times out of ten, and if I was lucky, I could hit five or six times out of ten.
"The four of you brothers look at Su Su, don't let her get hurt, and don't go deep into the mountains, just shoot prey casually on the periphery, and it doesn't matter if you can't hit it.
Also, don't forget that it's time to come back for breakfast, you have to go to town early after breakfast, but don't delay the hour. When Huang Yaozi saw Su Su and the five people going out, he still told them to be humane with anxiety.
As for Bai Shao's girl, she can't get up from bed, so she can't be blamed.
"Let's go to that bamboo forest! The last time I saw a fat bamboo rat scurrying into a hole under the bamboo forest.
There must be a few nests of bamboo rats at the bottom of the bamboo forest, let's go catch them. Thinking of this, Mai Dong hurriedly said to everyone.
"I'll see if it's okay, so I'll go catch the bamboo rat." Atractylodes naturally didn't have an opinion.
"Okay, I'll go to the bamboo forest to catch bamboo rats." Huang Zisu didn't think much about it and nodded directly.
There is not much time for them to go up the mountain to hunt, even if there are many prey in the back mountain of Yunhe Village, if they are unlucky, they will not be able to catch a few hares and pheasants, and they will not be able to sell them for a few dollars.
Unless it is able to hit large prey.
Bamboo rats are different, they all grow together in one litter.
As long as you catch a litter, less than two, more than seven or eight, if you catch a few more, then today's harvest will be great.
With Mai Dong leading the way, it took more than a quarter of an hour to go around and bend left and right in the mountains, and everyone came to a bamboo forest with a 30-degree oblique topography.
also knew whether they were lucky, or the three pheasants were unlucky, and they met the five Huang Shisu brothers and sisters early in the morning.
Huang Shisu put his index finger to his lips and made a shushing gesture towards the four of them.
Then he gestured with his fingers to himself, then to Mai Dong, and finally to Tiandong, Baizhu, and Atractylodes.
Immediately afterwards, the five brothers and sisters each drew their bows and arrows.
Then Huang Shisu let out a 'shot' sound from his mouth.
She was the first to shoot a pheasant.
Her second brother also hit a second pheasant.
As for the third pheasant, Huang Shisu assigned it to her eldest brother, third brother and fourth brother.
Her eldest brother and third brother shot the arrow directly, and his fourth brother was lucky enough to shoot the pheasant's wing.
Yellow perilla reacted extremely quickly, made up for an arrow, and solved the pheasant.
"Luckily, not long after I went up the mountain, I caught three pheasants." Huang Maidong picked up three pheasants and put them in the back basket.
"Mai Dong, where is the bamboo rat hole you are talking about? Let's catch bamboo rats. Tiandong asked Mai Dong.
"Big brother, I saw it, here." Huang Cangshu saw that a hairy head had just stretched out and retracted, and looking at it was obviously a bamboo rat, he hurriedly pointed to the mouth of the cave and said.
"That's not right! The last time I saw the hole where the bamboo rat went in, this was this. Mai Dong pointed to another cave not far away.
"There's a hole in here, too?" Tiandong pointed to another hole.
