Dashan Makes a Living 1984

Chapter 44 044: Snake Rat

In his previous life, he didn't notice the changes in Wang Tianxin's mind when he rebelled. When he realized it, the young man already had many bad habits and thinking, which he couldn't reverse.

I wanted to make it a point to marry a daughter-in-law, but I never thought that marrying that daughter-in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

It is equivalent to adding fuel to the fire.

I don't know what kind of wind was blowing on the pillow. Not only did it not make Wang Tianxin calm down, but it intensified, became bad and stupid, and became the most troublesome person in the entire Wang family.

Thinking of his previous life, Wang Tianxiao felt uncomfortable.

Thinking of Wang Tianxin's ferocious face at that time, it is difficult to compare it with the innocent young man now.

Time is like a ball of ink, life is like a blank paper, some people pour ink into a picture scroll, while some people just pollute the paper.

More people are like himself, who just wrote a few ordinary words here and there on the paper.

The moon in the sky is a semicircle, like a dish broken in half, because there are some clouds covering it, the moonlight is not very bright.

The three could only rely on the flashlight in Wang Tianxiao's hand to tell the direction.

The deep mountains in the middle of the night are very quiet, whether it is birds, insects, or some beasts that move during the day, they are all asleep at the moment, and the beasts that are good at moving at night are generally quiet.

Not all animals howl like wolves.

"Second brother, will there be snakes in this mountain?" Wang Tianxin clung to Wang Tianxiao's side, he said he was not afraid, but after entering the mountain, he behaved completely contrary to what he said.

After all, he was still a child, and he might be brave for a while, but in fact his courage has not been washed, he is a coward.

"Of course there are snakes in the mountains."

"Ah..." Wang Tianxin jumped up from the spot and said in panic, "Then we should each prepare a snake-beating stick, or what if we are bitten by a snake?"

"Pfft." Wang Tiancheng chuckled again.

"Oh, Wang Tiancheng, why are you laughing at me again? Why do you treat someone as a brother? If you want to behave like this, I won't recognize you as a brother in the future." name.

"I still think I'm laughing at you, you forgot that snakes hibernate in winter, how come they come outside."

"Oh, how did I forget this?" Wang Tianxin scratched his head and said with a smile: "There will be no snakes in winter, they are all hibernating, haha, hibernating."

When he spoke, his footsteps had already been placed on the ground, and he obviously no longer had any scruples.

After walking for about half an hour, the three of them came to the middle of the mountain. Wang Tianxiao pointed out to the two brothers the Yangziling substation where he was going to work in the next year. Contribute to the forestry of the motherland.

Especially Wang Tianxin, who only recently learned Tao Yuanming's poems, wrote two lines of poems "Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing Nanshan".

The two elder brothers almost pinched their noses to express their recognition and praise for his progress.

Reading more books is definitely a good thing.

The knowledge in the book is like the food you eat in your stomach. You don’t seem to feel anything when you eat it every day, but your body grows and matures day by day.And whenever you want to do something, you can use your strength at any time.

Knowledge is usually hidden in the depths of the mind's consciousness, and at a special moment, it will suddenly appear and surprise people.

Moreover, it will subtly shape a person's temperament and image. This is the reason why the so-called poetic and literary spirit is self-sufficient.

In his previous life, because his family was poor, Wang Tianxiao stopped studying after finishing junior high school, and he has always regretted it.

When life gets easier later on, it’s already a forty-year-old. If you want to learn some knowledge, your memory and comprehension have degraded a lot.

He suffered from being uneducated, and then he did everything possible to let his three children study, all three of whom were college students. After the children all worked, his life gradually became better.

Therefore, he still hoped that Wang Tianxin would read more books, perhaps the rebelliousness and unruliness hidden in his bones can only be resolved by reading books and learning more knowledge.

The reason why he likes the nest is that he has too little knowledge. After he realizes that there are more interesting and interesting things in this world, he will naturally think about the distance, and will not wander and entangle himself in the current one-acre three-year-old. subdivision.

Ferocity and recklessness are nothing more than impotent rage. The real strength is gentleness that can solve all problems.

This is the truth that Wang Tianxiao took his whole life to understand.

The three were talking and laughing as they walked forward, Wang Tianxiao suddenly stopped, squatted down, bit the flashlight in his mouth, gently picked up the soil on the ground, held it under his nose to smell it, and then nodded slightly.

"elder brother?"

"Here it is. Look at this hole. This is the hare's hole."

"Let me see, let me see."

Wang Tianxin also squatted down and observed carefully for a long time, but he couldn't see why, he shook his head and said, "Why didn't I see anything, second brother, why do you say this is a hare's nest, it's no different from a ground squirrel's nest .”

Ground squirrels are abundant in the fields and forests in the northwest. They are a kind of rats on grasslands. They belong to the family Sciuridae. They have shorter tails and slightly fuller faces.

People here like to eat chinchillas.

The process of catching chinchillas is also very interesting.

Because ground squirrels like to drill holes in the fields, they leave a lot of holes. When you want to catch them, you just need to fill the holes with a bucket of water, and the whole family of ground squirrels will line up and get out of the nest. .

At this time, as long as a cage is placed on the mouth of the nest, the chinchillas will all run into the cage.

It doesn't matter if there is no cage, just put a shovel on the mouth of the nest, come out and knock the other out, and finally carry it back with the tail.

There are also many ways to eat chinchillas.

It can be fried like rabbit meat, wrapped in noodles and steamed, or fried.

But for friends, there is an easier way.

Peel off the skin of the ground squirrel, sprinkle various seasonings on the body, then wrap it with corn or other leaves, put it into a small tile that is closed by two pages, seal the tile with mud, dig a hole and bury it.

Build a small pot platform with bricks on the top of the pit, light a fire inside, roast sweet potatoes or corn on the fire, and bury ground squirrels in the pit below. After the top is baked, the bottom is basically cooked.

Dig out the tiles and smash them, and take out the chinchilla meat inside. It is golden and crispy, which is a satisfaction.

Later, no one ate ground squirrels. On the one hand, because people's living standards have improved and the supply of various meats is sufficient, there is no need to think about what ground squirrels to eat.

There is also a saying that hybrids of chinchillas and house mice are infected with many diseases, and they are no longer suitable for people to eat, and they are worried that diseases will be transmitted to humans.

No matter what kind it is, anyway, people basically don't eat chinchillas anymore, but the number of chinchillas seems to be gradually less than before, and I don't know why.

"Why is this a hare's hole? That's a university question. Do you want to know?"

Wang Tianxiao asked the two younger brothers with a smile.

It was finally time for him to play his specialty.
