"Yuhua, the north wind has blown for a day today, and the temperature is a lot colder, I estimate that Aunt Zhao will come early, you can go back after eating, don't let Aunt Zhao wait at the door, these brushing pots and dishes will be left to the two of us."

"It's okay, it won't take much time to do these jobs, and if Aunt Zhao comes and finds that the door is not opened, she will find Brother Han's side, and she won't wait at the door stupidly."

Hao Hongmin and Yang Xiuying were speechless when they heard Hou Yuhua say this, the plan that the two of them had discussed for a day failed like this, and they had no reasonable reason to refute each other's words, so they could only think of other ways after going home.

On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, Han Li was still living a comfortable life at home.

Village Chief Zhao and Captain Liang have been counting and busy with their work yesterday, as well as asking someone to contact the county farm, and the two of them put on two horses early today and pulled a climbing plow towards the county.

At first glance, this climbing plow is a bit similar to the kind of "warm climbing plow" that the rich and noble people used to ride, but it looks a little too rough.

This is to build a simple cart shed with wooden poles on top of an ordinary climbing plough, surrounded by tarpaulin, and there is a layer of animal skins inside the tarpaulin joints, and finally a small door is opened at the back of the shed.

There were also two charcoal-burning stoves inside the plough, but they were not lit at this time.

Niu Dechang and Wang Congfei came here, and the two of them got up from their sleeping places tremblingly, and hurriedly squatted in front of the fire and began to add firewood to it, and it took them a long time to ease up.

"Made, it was really cold last night, I was woken up from the cold several times."

"Who said it wasn't, it was windy here last night, and the coat on my body was the same as if it didn't have it."

"Let's make up for the leakage in this shack today before we go out to find prey, otherwise it will only be more difficult tonight."

"Whew, the knife is not a mistake for the woodcutter, we can get a good place to sleep at night so that we can look for prey around with confidence."

So the two guys, after eating, began to separate in search of plants such as mosses and lichens, which is what they had heard from the old people in the village.

It's winter, but the mosses and lichens don't usually die, they're just dormant, their roots still clinging to the soil below, but it's going to be difficult to remove them during this season.

When Niu Dechang was squatting on the ground and digging a piece of moss, he heard Wang Congfei, who was not too far away from him, shouting.

"Ahh

Niu Dechang led the dog and walked over quickly, only to find that there was a skeleton of a wild boar under a big tree, and the meat on the wild boar was almost eaten, only the pig's head fell on the side relatively intact, and the surrounding snow was trampled on, and there were many blood stains on the snow.

"Brother Niu is embarrassed, I was startled when I saw this thing coldly."

Niu Dechang looked at the scene in front of him, and the dog in Wu Lili's house, whose legs trembled and whined and urinated in place, hurriedly asked.

"No, what are the footprints around you from the fly?"

Wang Congfei was startled at first and didn't notice the surrounding situation, and then heard Niu Dechang only say that he saw the footprints next to him, which he didn't know if he didn't know, and he was startled when he saw it.

There are many plum blossom-like footprints on the surrounding snow, and these plum blossom-like footprints are large, the width of an adult's bunch, and the length is much longer than a bunch of trees.

(A bundle for adults is about 15 cm to 20 cm.) ）

Although they had never seen a footprint in this shape, they had heard countless descriptions from the mouths of the villagers.

The first overlord in the mountains. The Siberian Tiger, according to legend, is the mount of the mountain god.

At this time, both Niu Dechang and Wang Congfei thought of something, and the two of them swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty and said at the same time.

"What should I do?"

"I don't know, how can there be Siberian tigers on the road for only a few days, did we go the wrong way when we came?"

At this time, Wang Congfei's eyes were fierce, and he reached out and held the old-fashioned rifle and said.

"That's it, what about the Siberian Tiger, the overlord of the deep mountains and the mount of the mountain god, Han Li can use a trap to capture a dozen or so wild boars in one fell swoop, and we can also use a trap to catch this Siberian tiger, as long as we catch it, we will not only be able to make a lot of money, but we can also completely suppress Han Li in terms of reputation."

Niu Dechang was very excited when he heard this, but looked at the big plum blossom footprints in front of him and said.

"Why don't we go back to the shack first, we are safer with traps and traps there."

"Brother Niu, you see the footprints of these tigers going up the mountain, and this wild boar still has a lot of meat left, which means that this tiger has eaten enough, so we should be safe now."

Don't look at other things, Niu Dechang seems to have the final say, but he really doesn't know as much as Wang Congfei in hunting, so he subconsciously asked.

"So what do we do now?"

"Take back the meat left over from this wild boar, we can eat a little bit of the pig's head, and the pork will be kept as bait, and then we will make a trap with the wild boar and the trap.

However, the tiger has just eaten enough, and it may take some time to get it to the bait, so we have to collect moss and lichen to fill the holes in the shack, and we have to compare our patience with this tiger. ”

"What if the tiger doesn't come? The dry food we brought with us won't last long. ”

"Brother Niu, there are these wild boar meat as traps, even if the tiger doesn't come for a while, there will be other animals coming to eat meat, in short, we won't be empty-handed."

Niu Dechang listened to Wang Congfei so firmly, he could only do what the other party said.

Next, the two of them first carried the boar's head and the rest of the meat back to the front of the shack, and then Niu Dechang went to collect the moss and lichen with all his might, and Wang Congfei took the trap and set traps around.

But before the two of them could get it right, the cold wind blowing in the sky suddenly stopped, and then the white and flawless snowflakes fell from the sky one after another, and Niu Dechang and Wang Congfei could only force themselves to speed up their work in the snowflakes

At this time, Hao Hongmin and Yang Xiuying's family in Shanghe Village, An Xin and Li Yingzi were sitting here chatting with the two of them.

"It's snowing?"

"It's snowing again."

"Haha, Sister Hongmin, you see it's really snowing, we"

"Ahem. Ahem, when it snows, it snows, what are you excited about? ”

The four women said four different words, but there seemed to be a little more excitement in Hao Hongmin and Yang Xiuying's voices.

"How excited am I?"

"Sister Hongmin, Sister Xiuying, what are you two playing dumb riddles?"

"There's no dumb riddle, it's just that I lost the last time I made a bet with Xiuying when it snowed."

At this time, Han Li, who was practicing calligraphy, suddenly sneezed twice

PS: I coughed badly today, and the yard was a little less, so I tried to make it up tomorrow.
