Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 54 Camping
The pheasant flew up with a flutter of crossbow arrows.

Yi Weidong said angrily, "Oh, I lost all the arrows the first time."

Wang Zhiguo comforted: "It's okay Weidong, if you get hit by an arrow, you won't be able to run far."

Sure enough, after the pheasant fell, it stopped flying.
It just rolled forward on the ground.

Yi Weidong happily ran up to him,

Catch the pheasant that is still fluttering.

Handed it to Wang Zhiguo and said, "Come on, this is not dead yet."

Wang Zhiguo took it and wrung the head off.

He took out the crossbow and gave it to Yi Weidong, saying:

"I didn't expect you to shoot the pheasant for the first time, much better than when I was a child."

"Brother Zhiguo was joking."

Yi Weidong found that aiming under the cover of his own consciousness was particularly sensational,

Prey is as close as eyes,
It's just that the shooting just now was too rigid,
My hands tremble a little,
No hits,

Missed.

The two continued to move forward, Yi Weidong could always find the prey in front of Wang Zhiguo,
It never fails, along the way there are seven rabbits and pheasants,
Except the first one was hit by Wang Zhiguo,

Everything behind is Yi Weidong's harvest.

Wang Zhiguo was surprised at first and then became numb.
He said bluntly: "In a few years, you will be old enough to serve in the army. You will definitely be a sharpshooter in the army."

He also said that he brought his comrades to hunt countless times,

This is the first time it didn't fail,

Wang Zhiguo found a dead branch, picked up the prey and put it on his shoulder.

Finally Wang Zhiguo said: "Stop fighting, I can't even carry it anymore. Are you going back to the brigade? And you said to go camping as planned?"

"Going camping, of course, I haven't experienced it yet."

Yi Weidong chose camping,
There's no point in going back now.
Don't worry about buying a donkey.
Now that it's out, let's have a good time.

Wang Zhiguo said: "Most of my comrades-in-arms will regret it, but it's okay now, there are not so many mosquitoes."

The hunt is over,
The two of them no longer walked cautiously,

The speed also increased,

Yi Weidong also found a wooden stick to share with the three prey,

Yi Weidong was still thinking,

None of the rabbits that entered the range ran away,

Yi Weidong opened a hole in the space on the way the rabbit escaped,

Without the rabbit's knowledge,

ran right in,

until tonight's destination,

Yi Weidong received that there are three rabbits and five pheasants in the space.

Yi Weidong wanted to come here a few more times in the future,

I sneaked up the mountain alone,
When encountering prey, none of them can run away.
Not afraid of wolves or wild boars,
Open the space opening in front of you,

They'll all hit it head on.

The destination Wang Zhiguo took was a stone house built against the dimples on the mountain wall.
The alcove was as big as a house,

It's just that the hole is wider.

The hunters who often go up the mountain built walls with stones,

A simple wooden door was also made with tree trunks.

There are also some spices and dry firewood stored in it.
Wang Zhiguo took out the seasoning from his backpack and said:
"There's at least one foothold, over a mountain, and another place. Only old hunters go there. I bring my comrades here to hunt hares and pheasants."

Yi Weidong tidied up the hares and asked:

"Is there water near here? Otherwise, wouldn't a house be built here?"

Wang Zhiguo said: "I'll take you there. There is a mountain spring not far away, and it tastes sweet when you drink it. It's just that it's too far away from the brigade, and it's inconvenient to get water here."

After a short rest, the two came to the mountain spring,

Streams of clear springs gushed continuously from a mountain wall,
Yi Weidong took a sip after filling up the water bottle,
It's really delicious.
Others can't,

Yi Weidong has space,

This is still within the scope of the mind,
You can directly open a space opening here in a while,
Filled with mountain spring water overnight,
Enough to last me a long time.

The two handle a pheasant and a hare separately,

Two more people can't finish it.

It’s already autumn, and the wild game hunted today will not be spoiled tomorrow.

Yi Weidong suddenly remembered that Wang Zhiguo had another sister who was 18 years old.

I didn't see you today,

I just asked,
Wang Zhiguo said: "My eldest sister is married, so I will do things in the spring."

Yi Weidong asked, "Brother Zhiguo, why aren't you married yet? Have you agreed on a partner?"

Wang Zhiguo said a little shyly, "I have a partner."

This object exists as it exists,
Nothing is nothing,

What is it?

Yi Weidong asked gossipingly: "Brother Zhiguo, tell me about you and your partner!"

"There is nothing to say. After I came back, I met her through relatives. She studied in the tailor shop in the town for two years." Wang Zhiguo said.

At this time, there is a skill that is stronger than anything else,
Living a life is much better than just farming,
And the clothes at this time are all made of cloth bought by themselves,
Even without a tailor shop,
I help others make clothes at home,

I will also give a thank you,

At least the little days will be more moist.

"Then what do you mean you have a partner?" Yi Weidong asked.

"Hey! We're all in love, but her mother asked to buy a sewing machine at home in addition to the bride price of 50 catties of fine grains." Wang Zhiguo said helplessly.

In this rural area, asking for a dowry gift of 50 catties of fine grains is considered a little higher at this time.

This requires buying a sewing machine is not easy to get ah!
The last time Yi Weidong bought a watch ticket was a coincidence,
Otherwise, it would be difficult to get a ticket.
Not long after Wang Zhiguo was discharged from the army,
Maybe I don't even have enough money in my hands.

The sewing machine I bought here will not be brought back!

Yi Weidong asked, "Can this sewing machine be brought back?"

"Of course I have to bring it back. If I can't bring it back, I won't be able to get married."

Wang Zhiguo continued: "She has a tailoring skill, and she hopes to have a sewing machine to make some clothes at home and do some private work."

That's okay, it's still at home when I take it back.

It is not easy for families who work in the city to save a large item.
What's more, Wang Zhiguo is in this ravine,
Living on work points is very tight,
Can't save any money at all.

Killed the rabbit and the pheasant,
Go back to the door of the stone house,
There is a gap of 40 cm between two large stones,
Wang Zhiguo took out two large iron picks from the house,

into the hare and the pheasant respectively,

Look how skillful this method is,
Start the fire with small branches and then increase the firewood.
The bonfire picnic has officially begun.

Wang Zhiguo also took out a small bottle from his backpack,
Apply a layer of vegetable oil with a brush,
Wang Zhiguo said: "When I was young, I often came here to eat roasted hares. At that time, they were so delicious without seasoning."

Although Yi Weidong never roasted wild game when he was a child,
But making a chicken into a beggar’s chicken is still a common practice.
Even if it's just a layer of salt,
It also feels delicious in the world when it is made.

"Yeah, I really miss the beggar chicken I made when I was a child. It's really delicious."

"Okay, next time I come, I'll make you a beggar rabbit." Wang Zhiguo said.

"Okay, I'll be back."
