hunting in 1986

Inside the yurt.

Li Yan, who was already asleep, was awakened by the sudden howling of wolves. The surroundings were pitch black, and the sound of cold wind outside the yurt could be clearly heard.

Huhuhu~
The wind on the grassland at night is really strong, and the yurts are trembling slightly.

Listening to the howling of wolves outside, Li Yan felt a fear creeping up from the soles of her feet to her head, and hurriedly pushed Wang Yuan next to her:
"Xiaoyuan, Xiaoyuan, there are wolves outside."

My sister-in-law Li Ping was also woken up by fright. She was sleeping on the other side of Li Yan and immediately stretched out her arms to hug him, sticking tightly next to Li Yan.

"Don't be afraid that I'm here, the wolves are still far away." Wang Yuan tried his best to comfort Li Yan, with a gun in his hand. With a gun beside him, his self-confidence skyrocketed.

He stretched out his hand to hold Li Yan in his arms, but when he reached out, he felt something was wrong. What did he touch, it seemed to be Li Ping?After all, it's impossible for my wife to grow three mountains?

The three of them froze for a moment, Li Yan quickly pushed Wang Yuan's arm away and said angrily, "What are you stretching out, honestly, go to sleep, if you stretch out your arms indiscriminately, I will kick you."

"Cough cough."

Wang Yuan didn't dare to speak, he retracted his hands and slept soundly.

Li Ping's face was as red as a monkey's butt, and she wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in, but now she didn't dare to move Li Yan's arm and quickly pretended to be asleep.

Only the little girl on the other side of Li Ping slept soundly, and the big white cat hugging the blanket didn't care about the wolves outside.

Have a safe night.

The next morning, while having breakfast in the gorgeous sunrise, Xiao Suhe also talked to Wang Yuan about the wolves last night.

"There are a lot of wolves on the grassland this season. It's normal to hear wolves howling in the middle of the night. You guys weren't scared in Heili yesterday, right?"

"It's okay, how far is the pack of wolves from yesterday?"

"It's far, far away. The sound of the open grassland can be heard far away."

Old Su He was smoking a big pipe, and neatly cut off the roasted rabbit meat for Wang Yuan and the others to eat. The years had left wrinkles on his face, full of vicissitudes.

Old Su He not only gave the rabbit meat to Wang Yuan and the others, but also cut a 5 cm long piece of rabbit meat and handed it to the big white cat.

"Meow~"

The big white cat was lying next to the little girl with its paws in its mouth. When it saw the rabbit meat handed over, its eyes lit up immediately, and it jumped up and directly put the rabbit meat into its mouth and ate it deliciously.

During this trip, Wang Yuan also brought a lot of things to Old Su He and the others. Apart from ironware, there were also many other daily necessities, food and so on.

After eating, he gave all the things he had brought to Xiao Suhe's family, and Wang Yuan and the others followed Xiao Suhe to herd the sheep.

Everyone rode horses, and the dogs were responsible for driving the sheep. Thousands of sheep were driven to the designated pasture in the west to start grazing.

Like a bulldozer, the delicate blades of grass were almost eaten up by the sheep.

Kakaka~ The sheep's mouth opened, sipped and torn, and the fresh and delicious grass leaves were eaten into the mouth, and it was swallowed into the stomach with almost no chewing, and continued to eat other grass leaves.

At the little girl's begging, Wang Yuan carried her off the horse, and the little girl ran with the flock of sheep. She felt very interesting watching the flock of sheep grazing, and gradually she felt a little hungry.

"Hey, little girl, why are you still eating grass?"

"Ah, let me try to see if it tastes good, bah bah bah~ it's not delicious at all."

Wang Yuan had black lines on his face, and Xiao Suhe, who was not far to the right, laughed loudly: "Xiao Yuan, your sister is really interesting."

The sheep can graze on the pasture by themselves, and you don’t need to worry about them all the time. Wang Yuan took out his camera to take pictures of Li Yan and Li Ping, and took a group photo with the sheep. The blue sky and white clouds, being on the endless prairie is really amazing. enjoy.

"Come on, hug that little lamb, that's right~ Squat on the ground and hug its neck."

"The little lamb's horns haven't grown yet."

"It's still young, and it will grow horns when it grows up."

After taking pictures of Li Yan, Li Ping and the little girl, Wang Yuan turned the camera back
Pass it to Xiao Suhe, teach him how to take pictures and ask him to take a group photo of Wang Yuan and the others.

"That's amazing~ just one click and that's enough?"

"Yeah, when I go back and develop it, it will be a photo."

Xiao Su looked at it in amazement, and caressed the camera with rough hands, feeling that such a powerful thing must be very expensive.

The prairie has amazing natural scenery, but the disadvantage is that the technology is too backward, and there is no black and white TV.

Wang Yuan took a few more photos of Xiao Suhe and the flock of sheep, promised to go back and develop the photos, and then sent them to him. Xiao Suhe grinned very happily and gave Wang Yuan a big hug.

Unlike the mobile phones in the later generations, where you can take a lot of photos casually, every photo in this era is very precious.

It is even necessary to make a large photo frame nearly one meter long, put the photos neatly in it, and then decorate it solemnly with a glass surface for preservation.

Hanging a large photo frame in the house can keep it for many years. After decades, all the teeth will fall out. Looking at the old photos and recalling the scene at that time, it is also very warm and interesting.

Wang Yuan also has this kind of large photo frame in his yard.

"Wow~"

The dog herding the sheep suddenly yelled. It turned out that there were hundreds of sheep going away. Xiao Suhe quickly got on his horse and chased them, and drove the sheep back soon after.

The sheep don't need to be taken care of all the time, but they can't be ignored either. Wang Yuan still remembers herding sheep for the brigade when he was a child, but in the end he was too busy catching toads and lost the whole flock. At that time, he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

Finally, I found a flock of sheep in the rice field in the distance. They were really beaten up that time.

There is a river to the west, and Wang Yuan and others came to play by the river. The water is not deep, not only reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, but also reflecting the grass by the river.

冬～
A big toad was disturbed, and jumped into the river with a kick of its legs, and ripples rippled in circles in an instant.

"Toad, toad!"

The little girl was like a tomboy, she was very happy to see the toad in the water, she stretched out her hand as if she was about to catch it, but she was afraid of the water, so she could only stamp her feet anxiously on the bank.

Li Yan hated the toad the most, and she felt panicked when the toad's skin was slippery and slippery, so she frowned.

"Stop making a fuss, toad is so boring..."

Before Wang Yuan could finish his sentence, a sudden change happened, the river surged and a big fish more than one meter long suddenly got out from the bottom of the river, with white spots on its brown body, and swallowed the toad in one gulp.

The big fish glanced at Wang Yuan and the others, flicked its tail and made a splash, and disappeared into the river.

The little girl's eyes widened in shock: "The toad... was eaten by a fish."

"What happened?"

Xiao Suhe walked over with big strides. He just went to drive the sheep again, and he was a little out of breath because he was always tired from riding a horse.

Wang Yuan described to him what happened just now, including the appearance of the fish, Xiao Suhe immediately smiled and said:
"It must be a big pike. Its mouth is as flat as a duck's, right? It's not uncommon for this kind of fish to eat toads. They even eat wild ducks! I've seen pike eat wild ducks when I was a child."

"Fish eat wild ducks?"

"Yeah, the biggest pike can grow to be more than two meters long, so it's really big."

They didn't bring any fishing rods either, so they just found a shoal to fish in the river.

In later generations, many wild rivers were dug straight up and down by excavators, which was very dangerous. Just now, the river water just covered the calves, and if you take another step in, it may directly cover the top of your head.

The wild river in this era is much better. It gradually becomes deeper from the edge to the middle, so you can have a mental preparation.

Wang Yuan took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs and went down the river, and soon found a "willow root fish".

Blue back and white belly, big belly and small head.

The 20cm long willow root fish was thrown ashore by Wang Yuan, and the little girl happily ran to pick up the fish.

"So big! Oh, it jumped."

"Don't let it jump back into the river
Go back and make grilled fish. "

"Didn't you feed the cat?"

Li Yan and Li Ping didn't go into the water, they watched Wang Yuan fish from the bank, Xiao Suhe held his whip and smoked on the bank, and after a while he was going to catch the sheep, so they didn't go down the river.

Oil is needed to make fish, and there is a shortage of oil on the grasslands.

People on the grassland seldom catch fish to eat. In addition, the vast grassland is sparsely populated. The fish in the river reproduce like fried nests, so there are many fish in the river.

There are not only willow root fish, but also fine lin fish, squid, black crucian carp, wheat spike, Dahu slider, big fat head and mountain sticky fish and so on.

The most caught ones are willow root fish, there are more than 20 of them that can be stewed in a pot when they go back.

After stewing a pot of wild fish and drinking it with some wine, Wang Yuan's saliva almost flowed out.

Li Yan and Li Ping couldn't resist the temptation, and finally took off their shoes, rolled up their trouser legs, and went into the river, but they were too stupid and the fish hit their hands and couldn't catch it.

"You have to move your hands slowly in the water, and you have to catch fish quickly when you meet them. Oh, you should not be slow when you should be slow, and not fast when you should be fast. You two are so stupid."

"Who are you talking about being stupid?"

Li Yan bit Fenglan's lip and glared at him, Wang Yuan shut up instantly.

It was hot near noon, but it was cool to soak the calf in the water. The blue sky and white clouds were reflected in the water. For a while, it was a bit confusing which was the sky and which was the water.

"It's so beautiful, and living here is good." Li Yan sighed.

"It's good to live anywhere if you have money. If you don't have money, life on the grassland is not so good." Wang Yuan smiled and shook his head. Life on the grassland has both good and bad sides.

Herding sheep every day, shoveling sheep manure, feeding fodder, no one can be seen for miles and miles, and there are no entertainment activities... Many people will become very irritable over time.

Wang Yuan himself hates sheep herding very much. This has something to do with his childhood experience. He feels that herding sheep is really too uncomfortable. He would rather go to jail than go to sheep herding.

Because the sheep are eating grass, it will feel very boring to stare at them all the time, and feel like the whole person has become a machine.

But if you don't keep an eye on it... a sheep may run away if you don't pay attention, and you may be beaten if you break a bowl, how dare you lose a sheep?It could really be beaten to death.

And if the sheep ate other people's crops, and other people scolded the house they found in the street, parents could only laugh and apologize to them.

Parents are having a hard time, and the child will inevitably be beaten.

A few people didn't go back at noon, Xiao Suhe brought some food, Wang Yuan grilled some fish, and had a picnic on the grassland.

Everything tastes delicious when you are hungry.

Wang Yuan and the others were hungry, and the lunch was delicious.

Xiao Suhe disliked the fish meat with too many spines, so he stopped eating after a few mouthfuls, and ate the food he brought with his head depressed.

The little girl was squatting on Wang Yuan's left, eating fish while teasing a little lamb that came over, but the little lamb stepped back a few steps, lowered its head and ran over to bump her, and the little girl sat down on the grass.

"Okay, you hit me!?"

The little girl began to bow her head and hug the lamb, to see who could beat the other.

Wang Yuan and the others burst out laughing instantly, and the atmosphere was extremely joyous for a while.

The sheep were herded for a while in the afternoon, and everyone went back after 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Riding a horse and walking on the prairie, I felt a burst of relief in an instant.

When he returned to the camp, old Su He was repairing the sheepfold with an axe. A piece of wood on the fence was damaged by the top of the sheep. If it was not repaired, the sheep might escape.

Dong Dong Dong ~
Finding a piece of wood and nailing it to the fence again, Old Su He turned around and said with a smile: "Xiao Yuan, you still caught so many fish."

U Rina was drying clothes not far away, when she saw the fish Wang Yuan and the others brought back, her eyes froze for a moment, and then she smiled helplessly.

They are not used to eating fish.

Wild river fish in later generations is a good thing, even if you are willing to pay a high price,

You may not be able to buy real wild river fish.

But in this era, wild fish is a very bad thing, and people don't pay attention to it.

"Xiao Yuan said he would do it." Xiao Suhe is a hearty guy, smoothing things over with a smile: "I grilled the fish at noon, it's delicious and you should try it too."

Although Old Su He and the others nodded in agreement, they didn't pay much attention to it. Wang Yuan was a guest, so he had a very high tolerance for him. If it was Little Su He, Old Su He might have already hit him with a stick.

When the sun was about to set, the pot of fish stewed by Wang Yuan was finally ready. Big bubbles came out from the bottom of the pot, and the strong aroma wafted out after they exploded on the surface.

In an instant, Lao Su and the others sped up their saliva secretion, and their eyes straightened.

This time Wang Yuan also brought a lot of seasonings to the old Su He's family, such as cumin, cinnamon, star anise, bay leaves, coriander seeds, Baizhi, orange peel and so on.

Add oil and seasonings, master the heat and the stewed fish will naturally be fragrant.

"Okay, let's eat."

After the food was divided, everyone lowered their heads and ate it fiercely. It was really troublesome to pick fishbone, but it was not worth mentioning in front of the delicious food.

Embarrassed, Wu Rina asked Wang Yuan if he could teach her the skill of stewing fish. Wang Yuan agreed directly and told her the approximate amount of seasoning.

Grassland life is also quite boring. Cooking some delicious food for a while can also give you more happiness.

Silent all night.

Day three.

The old Suhe went to herd the sheep, and chose which sheep to let Wang Yuan take away, while the young Suhe took his younger brother Lakshin who was addicted to martial arts, and planned to take Wang Yuan and his party to catch the marmots.

"Marmot skins are very expensive. I often see skin dealers come to collect marmot skins. The price they give is too low to sell them. You can earn more money by picking up more marmot skins. Save them and sell them in the countryside for a high price. a lot of."

Xiao Suhe was very happy, and started to prepare the tools needed with his hands and feet.
