Yun Xue and Yun Ni were at home and packed up all the things they got back today. The bear bile was tied with a thread and hung under the window to dry. The bear's paw also hung up, this thing is good, it is a good tonic, waiting to be left for Yunlin to replenish his body. Now there is no shortage of three or five taels of silver at home, so it is better to keep it.

"There's so much meat that I think might as well marinate some and make some more into jerky. There is still food to eat, maybe there will be nothing to eat at some point, so it will be good to save more. Yun Xue looked at the meat in the big wooden basin and said.

"Okay, I see." Yunni was cooking porridge on the fire, and when she heard her sister say this, she hurriedly agreed. Yun Xue pickles are more adept, Yun Ni is very good at handling these meats, the jerky she makes takes a long time, and it will not be particularly dry and bite.

Yun Xue cut a piece of meat and threw it into the water to soak, and the bear meat had to be soaked before eating.

"Sister, we're back." The sound of clouds outside the door was heard, and then several boys came in from outside. Yun Xue poked her head out to see that they had only brought two rabbits and a pheasant back.

"Eldest sister, there are a lot of people in the forest now, and we have walked a long way to get such a little thing back." Yun Zhen said very frustratedly.

Many people in the village have now gone into the mountains to hunt, and there is not enough food to eat, so they have to find a way. Anyway, it was close to the mountains, and there were wild beasts in the mountains, so everyone was pushing towards the woods. At this time, there is no such thing as a protected animal, as long as you can fill your stomach, you can eat anything.

"All those wild beasts have hid in the old woods, and they dare not come out easily. Today, there are not many prey in our village, and alas, we can't even count on hunting in the future. Tianfu also said.

Yun Ni came out of the kitchen with a smile at this time, "You guys, your luck is much worse than that of the eldest sister." The eldest sister hit a bear today. Yunni proudly showed off.

"What? Sister, did you meet a bear? How's it going, it didn't hurt, did it? The boys asked nervously.

"No, can the eldest sister still be injured by the bear?" Yun Xue smiled, and then told them what happened at that time. However, Yunxue concealed Xiaoqin and Vanilla's sneering at her on the mountain. These younger brothers Yunxue know very well that if they know, I'm afraid these boys will be able to go directly to other people's homes to make trouble. It's really not necessary, now that life is so difficult, why bother to grudge with the people in the village again?

After listening to the scene at that time, Yun Zhen and the others were all scared into a cold sweat, "Eldest sister, it's fortunate that it's you." If you change to someone else, not only can't you save Xiaoqin and vanilla, but you can't even get into it yourself, it's too hanging. It's also strange, we have walked so far and we have not encountered a big beast, how can we let you meet it. Yun Zhen said puzzled.

"I don't know, I can't ask the bear, can I? Alright, hurry up and pack up the things you got back, let's make bear meat to eat at night, and keep those. It's best to marinate it and put it in the cave at the back. I don't know what it will be like in the future. Yun Xue turned around and went back to the kitchen and hurriedly went to stir-fry.

At this time, the sky outside was dark, and occasionally a few drops of rain fell, and it looked like it was going to rain. Yun Zhen and the others also hurriedly packed up their things, and took some firewood and put it in the shed. "Let's chop some firewood, it's starting to get cold these days, and we may have to go into the mountains, but the eldest sister will definitely not be able to pick up acorns." Let's chop some firewood, so that the eldest sister has to chop it herself when she cooks. The eldest sister is a little better, Yunni has little strength, and she can't split it. ”

Yun Zhen and Tianfu took axes to chop firewood, while Yun Ting and Yun Lei picked up firewood from the firewood stacks outside, and then split Yun Zhen and them, all of which were stacked in the shed. This shed is specially used for firewood, so that it can be watered when it rains.

Yun Xue was in the kitchen, cooking a large plate of bear meat with green onions, and then the other dishes were ready, "Come back to eat, don't be busy, you are all tired this day." Yun Xue opened the door and shouted outside.

Everyone hurried into the house to eat, "Sister, it's quite cold outside, it looks like it may snow at night." Yun Ting said, hugging his shoulders.

"Wear more clothes and be careful not to get cold. Hurry up and eat something hot. Yun Xue hurriedly served them hot millet porridge.

While everyone was eating, snowflakes began to fall outside, and the snowflakes flew in the air and fell to the ground, but they turned into water again. As the temperature gradually decreased, eventually, the snow stopped melting and the ground was covered with snow.

In October, the mountains and forests are already covered with thin snow. This year, it was cold earlier, and it snowed a few days ago, but it didn't stop and melted away. Then there were a few more snowfalls, all of which melted as soon as the sun came out the next day. It snowed last night, but it's cloudy today, so it hasn't melted yet.

Yun Xue was wearing deerskin boots, stepping on the ground, making a creaking sound. Yun Xue carried an axe in his hand, Yun Zhen carried a saw, and Tianfu tied the ox cart to a tree, and then the three of them walked all the way to the forest.

Wudaogou is located in the Changbai Mountains, naturally there are rich forestry resources, and there are many trees on the mountain, so people do not have any such thing as saving resources. If the big guy wants to use wood, just go into the forest and find it. However, in the simple concept of the villagers, those trees that have become talented cannot be used to make fires. It is common for people to bring down some dead trees, or trees that look unsurprisingly and twist their necks, and use them to make fires.

The Yunxue sisters and brothers entered the forest, and they were also looking for such trees everywhere. Sure enough, not far ahead, there was a crooked-necked tree. "Eldest sister, let's put this tree today." Yun Zhen pointed to the tree and said.

"Okay, that's it." Yun Xue nodded.

So, the three of them came to the crooked neck tree, Yun Zhen untied the saw, and Tianfu and the two began to saw the tree. This tree is not thin, it probably has to be surrounded by one person and thicker. Yun Zhen and Tianfu went back and forth, and it took more than half an hour to put the tree down.

After the tree is down, it has to be cut into sections, otherwise they will not be able to move it. So, Yun Zhen and Tianfu continued to see, while Yun Xue carried an axe to repair those branches.

Suddenly, there was a loud rumble in the sky. Yun Xue and the others all stopped what they were doing and looked around, trying to find out where the sound came from, but they didn't find it. Immediately afterwards, there was another sound, and Yun Xue reacted, as if it was thunder.

It stands to reason that at this time, thunder is unlikely. But this year, the weather is really a bit strange, and the snow is gradually starting to fall. The snow fell from the sky, and before it reached the ground, it melted and turned into rain. In October, it was thundering and raining, which is also surprising.

There is an old saying in the Northeast, which is called "Thunder in October causes thieves everywhere." "In other words, the weather is abnormal, and maybe there will be abnormal changes next year, and then the world will be chaotic and thieves will be everywhere.

"It's bad, it's going to be even more wild next year." Yun Xue couldn't help but mutter.

"Eldest sister, you still don't care what happens next year, let's quickly carry the wood out and load it in the car and pull it home." If it rains, the road will be too difficult. Yun Zhen and Tianfu hurriedly sped up the speed of the seesaw. Fortunately, they only had the last section left unsawed, and this one was much thinner, and it was over in a short time. This big tree, naturally, can't be pulled back all at once, and it is probably scored twice. Several people carried nearly half of the wood to the ox cart, stopped all the wood with ropes, and then Yun Zhen and Tianfu drove the cart in front, and Yun Xue pushed it behind, and walked home.

When they returned home, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the three siblings had no choice but to park the ox cart in the yard and not unload the wood for the time being, but only led the oxen back to the cowshed. The three of them hurriedly ran back to the house, and Yunni took out a dry cloth towel for the three of them, and wiped their hair and bodies.

"It's a strange thing, there was thunder and rain in October. Eldest sister, the wood in the woods, let's go get it back in a few days. Yun Zhen said while wiping his hair.

"Well, let's wait a few days until it's freezing." Yun Xue nodded. "Yunzhen, Tianfu, you two go to the county seat to buy more food these days and come back, why do I feel a little hairy in my heart? Our family of seven will eat a lot of food this year, and now that the autumn grain has just come down, there is still food to buy, so let's prepare more. Yun Xue thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, listen to the eldest sister, then I will go to the county with Tianfu tomorrow to buy food." Yun Zhen trusts Yun Xue very much. It is also good to prepare more food.

The rain outside only fell for a moment, and then it turned into snow, goose feathers fluttering and falling. At first, the snowflakes melt when they fall, but gradually, the snow disappears, and as far as the eye can see, there is a white expanse everywhere.

In such weather, I couldn't do much work, so my siblings rested at home. The cotton clothes and something have already been made, Yun Ni is idle, so she found a medical book to read there, Yun Xue is still holding the sole of her shoe in her hand, stitch by stitch.

"Eldest sister, you better rest for a while, it's rare that you don't have any work today, so it's better to rest." Tianfu saw that Yun Xue's hands were still not idle, and couldn't help but say.

"It's okay, this thing is not tired, and I won't delay talking to you. There are so many people in our family, and you are the most expensive time to put on shoes. I'll take a few stitches when I have time, and I'll wait for the spring to be used, so don't you have to worry? By the way, what do you want to eat at night? Idle today, we have the time to do it. Yun Xue kept holding the soles of her shoes very quickly, and asked without raising her head.
