Chapter 106: Hunting in the Mountains One Shift
During the meal, Gu Huanxi saw that Wei Ci was going to stand beside him and serve, so he hurriedly waved his hand away, in such a shabby environment at the moment, he had to arrange a maid cloth dish, this style of painting was too awkward.
Or their family of four is more comfortable sitting at the table to eat, the three brothers and sisters of the Wei family are holding bowls, squatting not far away, Gu Huanxi is not deductible in eating, the steamed grains are enough, there are side dishes, and the food on both sides is almost the same, only the shredded yam made by Xu Huaiyi was not distributed to others.
Gu Xiaoyu took a pair of chopsticks, and after tasting it, he praised sincerely, "Dad's cooking skills are getting better and better." ”
In the past, when I was at home, I thought I had tasted all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and I didn't care about the appetite, but I didn't want to think that now, coarse tea and light rice, I felt that I couldn't change my money.
Xu Huaiyi was praised and said proudly, "Go back and teach you to do it for your father, and when you learn it, you can also make it for your daughter-in-law in the future and make her happy." ”
Gu Xiaoyu paused, he didn't know where his daughter-in-law was, and his mother was much more important than his daughter-in-law, so he said obediently, "My son has learned, make it for my mother." ”
Gu Huanxi laughed when he heard this, touched his head, and said with a relieved face, "My little fish is really good, that mother is waiting for your filial piety." ”
Gu Xiaoyu blushed and said "um".
Seeing this, Xu Huaiyi suddenly became sour, and raised his hand angrily and flicked Gu Xiaoyu's forehead, "Don't be courteous to my daughter-in-law, when I don't exist?" ”
Gu Xiaoyu, "......"
He's only five years old, is it appropriate to pay attention to male and female defense now?
Gu Huanxi directly reminded speechlessly, "That's your son......"
What is the dedication?
Xu Huaiyi said confidently, "The son can't do it, the son is not a man?" As long as it's a man, I can't do it, my daughter-in-law can only hurt myself......"
Gu Huanxi couldn't listen to it, so he roughly stuffed a piece of sweet potato into his mouth and blocked it.
After Xu Huaiyi chewed and swallowed it without shame, he smashed it and smashed his mouth, and said crookedly, "The dishes that my daughter-in-law picked up with her own hands, why is it extra sweet when you eat it?" ”
Gu Huanxi rolled his eyes.
Gu Xiaoyu, "......"
Feeling a little full.
After eating, Wei Ci cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks to wash, Wei Liang continued to weave straw mats, Wei An stayed by Gu Xiaoyu's side, following inch by inch, Xu Huaiyi and Village Chief Xu and others went to discuss going up the mountain to hunt tomorrow, even Ah Li fell asleep and didn't need to take care of it, Gu Huanxi instantly felt idle.
She didn't have much work to do.
Is this the benefit of having someone to serve?
She is not bored, and enjoys such leisure very comfortably, making a pot of tea, lighting an oil lamp, leaning comfortably on the soft pillow of the carriage, picking a favorite book and looking at it at will, outside near or far, high or low, all kinds of sounds came, which did not affect her interest at all.
If you have an inspiration, you put down the book, conceive a few chapters of the plot, and at this rate, when you get to the capital, the book can be completed, but I don't know if it can be sold.
The night is getting deeper, and Xu Huaiyi's voice is sounding outside, he is now getting better at storytelling, and he knows more and more how to arouse people's appetites.
At that time, the courtyard was quiet, and most of the villagers lay down and slept, except for those who were on duty at night.
Wei Liang sat on the straw mat, tucked the quilt for his younger brothers and sisters, and next to him was his machete that never left his side at night, glowing with a cold light under the moonlight.
Xu Huaiyi came back from a circle outside, and when he saw this, he urged in a low voice, "Don't sleep yet?" What are you rubbing? Hurry up and sleep, there is a patrol outside the yard, so you don't have to keep an eye on it. ”
Hearing this, Wei Liang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xu Huaiyi's impatient wave of his hand, "Let you sleep, you will sleep, and if you stay up like before, your body will collapse, so what's the use of me bringing you back?" ”
When Wei Liang heard this, he pursed his lips, lay down and fell asleep.
This is the first time since escaping the famine, I can sleep with my eyes closed, and I don't have to be on guard all the time against those wicked people who take advantage of the darkness to steal their little rations, not to mention worrying that they will rob my sister and brother to sell.
He won the bet.
I met a good person.
When it was ugly, it was time to change shifts, Xu Huaiyi yawned and got down lightly, for fear of waking up his daughter-in-law and children.
As a result, as soon as he turned his head, he almost scared him out of screaming at Shang Weiliang's open eyes, and he had to scold in his throat in annoyance, "What are you doing in the middle of the night?" ”
People are scary, will they scare people to death, do you know?
Wei Liang said respectfully, "Master, I'll go on patrol for you." ”
Xu Huaiyi waved his hand, "No, you are guarding here." ”
"Old man......"
"It's more important to hold here."
Hearing this, Wei Liang's heart was shocked, and he watched Xu Huaiyi's figure walk away, until he was gone, and then he exhaled deeply, his choice was not wrong.
So many people wanted to buy him, and the money he gave was enough to support his younger brothers and sisters, but he was never moved, but he took the initiative to find Xu Huaiyi, why?
Because of Xu Huaiyi's love for his relatives.
Wei Liang sat on the straw mat, in the dark night, his eyes were clear, and when the sky gradually brightened, he was still in good spirits, and he did not show any fatigue and sleepiness.
Xu Huaiyi came back with a yawn, got into the car to make up for sleep, had breakfast, and took the people selected by Village Chief Xu into the mountains to hunt.
There are also a lot of young and strong offspring left under the mountain to prevent accidents.
This day seemed to have passed extraordinarily long, Gu Huanxi hugged her daughter and went to the intersection of the mountain several times, but she was disappointed.
Every time, Wei Liang dutifully followed behind.
Wei Ci also accompanied, whispering with relief, "Madam, the old man Ji people have their own natural appearance, and they will definitely be fine......"
Gu Xiaoyu also said, "Mother, don't worry, my father has a lot of skills, and he will definitely come back safely." ”
Gu Huanxi reluctantly smiled in response, but his heart was still up and down, not that he didn't believe in Xu Huaiyi's ability, but that hunting was already a great risk, who knew what prey he would encounter? And the aggression of the prey is also uncontrollable, no matter how good the enemy is, there may be accidents.
Once injured, it is trouble, and the current medical conditions are really not reassuring.
She regretted it now, and she should have stopped it in the morning.
There is no shortage of meat to eat at home, so there is no need to risk hunting.
On her fourth trip out of the yard, she finally heard the shouting of joy, and when she heard the movement, the hunters had returned, and had gained a great harvest.
The most important thing is that the casualties should not be large, otherwise the emotions of the big guys will not be so excited.
Sure enough, a total of three wild boars were hunted, and seven or eight young men struggled to carry them, and the simple shelves were weighed and swayed, and it was roughly estimated that they added up to a thousand catties.
In addition, there are dozens of rabbits and pheasants.
Seeing this, the villagers who ran out to greet them were all smiling, and couldn't help but sigh, this is really a treasure mountain, not only have endless acorns as food, but also so much meat, if you don't still want to go to the capital to fight for your children and grandchildren, you want to simply stay and not leave.
