Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 32 Confirmed Entering the Mountain

Gao Mingcheng frowned. He looked at the sky, and it was already about eleven o'clock. Logically speaking, the group should have entered the mountain by this time.

He was a little worried, so he said to Gao Zhuang: "Okay, you continue to stay at the foot of the mountain, and I will go into the mountain to have a look."

The entire Niuwei Ridge is extremely vast, and it is not easy to find people in the mountains. However, Gao Mingcheng knew the location of the ancient tomb in advance, and his eyesight was enhanced. It can also accurately detect the target.

He rushed all the way into the mountain at an extremely fast speed, but the movement of entering the mountain was relatively small. His feet stepped on the dead branches and leaves, making a small sound, just like a small wild animal passing by.

Soon, relying on his familiarity with the terrain, Gao Mingcheng had already seen the three climbers from a distance.

After seeing their silhouettes, Gao Mingcheng heaved a sigh of relief. It seems that there are some things that were true in the previous life and are still the same in this life, but there is always nothing wrong with planning ahead.

After confirming that the three had entered the mountain, Gao Mingcheng was not in a hurry. He didn't get closer, but just watched from a distance.

It is not an easy task to find out the specific location of the ancient tomb. Even experts in tomb robbers will need to spend a day or two. In the previous life, this group of people only confirmed the location tomorrow morning and prepared to dig the tomb of.

Gao Mingcheng intends to give this credit to Gao Guobing, so it's best to let Gao Guobing lead someone to catch the current situation!

Otherwise, some things are hard to explain!
It was almost noon, and the father and son began to take out water and dry food, and sat in the shade of the tree to eat.

Gao Mingcheng watched from a distance, and felt hungry. He thought that the three people should be the same as in the previous life. The location of the ancient tomb would not be confirmed until tomorrow to start digging, so he went down the mountain.

Gao Zhuang was still waiting at the foot of the mountain. Seeing Gao Mingcheng coming down the mountain quickly, he immediately went up to meet him, and asked curiously, "Is there anyone in the mountain?"

Gao Mingcheng nodded, Gao Zhuang let out an ah, and then his face was full of annoyance.

He desperately wanted to explain, "But... I really didn't see anyone entering the mountain! These people are too ghostly!"

Immediately, he seemed to have thought of something, and immediately felt guilty and did not dare to look at Gao Mingcheng again.

Gao Mingcheng didn't blame Gao Zhuang, but comforted him: "That group of people will definitely be cautious when doing this kind of business. Niuwei Ridge is so big, you can't keep an eye on them all. Alright, let's go, go home Have a meal!"

Gao Zhuang was taken aback, "Just go home for dinner? Don't you care about those people?"

Gao Mingcheng smiled and said, "Oh, don't you care about their lunch? Let's go, I have my own arrangements."

"Oh." Gao Zhuang obediently replied, he is still guilty at the moment, although he is here in Niuwei Ridge, but his mind is on how to catch rabbits, so he doesn't know if someone has entered the mountain.

Finally, Brother Mingcheng ordered him to do something, but he didn't do it well, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.

He returned home listlessly, and as soon as he got home, he smelled a tempting aroma of vegetables.

Gao Zhuang's stomach immediately made a rumbling sound, and he couldn't hold back and went straight to the kitchen, shouting: "Grandma, what delicious food are you cooking?"

"Ah! There is meat to eat! Brother Mingcheng, you bought meat!"

The sound of Gao Zhuang yelling came from the kitchen, Gao Mingcheng didn't go to join in the fun, but picked up the hare he got in the morning.

He didn't take the rabbit to the market to sell, but he just wanted to keep it for himself.

Since getting the gold leaf paper and meditating every night, his physical fitness has improved, but at the same time, he also needs to eat nutritious food to ensure that his blood energy is sufficient.

There are two ways to deal with rabbits, one is directly skinned, and the other is scalded and plucked.However, because rabbits are not as easy to pluck as chickens and ducks, and the temperature of the hot water is also very particular, some hairs are not easy to pluck cleanly, so Gao Mingcheng simply peeled them directly out of trouble.

He used a knife to cut the rabbit's two hind legs 1-2 inches away from the feet in circles, and then cut them from the opening along the inner thigh to the crotch, and made the two tangent lines meet, and cut the rabbit skin from the thigh to the crotch. At the beginning, carefully peel off the rabbit meat. During this process, do not use too much force to avoid tearing. When the flesh is entangled, you can carefully cut it with a sharp knife.

At this time, the rabbit skin is like a tube, open at one end, peeled to the front leg, like the hind leg, and cut the skin 1 inch away from the front leg in a circle, so that the front leg can withdraw from the leather tube.

After the whole skin is peeled off, the skin can be cut from the chest to form a whole skin.

If the fur of the wild rabbit is of good quality, the rabbit skin does not need to be thrown away. Instead, it is turned upside down on a wooden board and placed in a cool place to dry in the shade. Then it can be sold to a fur tanning workshop for some money.

In early autumn, rabbits eat oily and smooth, so their fur is very good.Gao Mingcheng cut off the excess fat from the rabbit skin, spread it on an old door panel, and put it in the utility room to dry in the shade.

After the rabbit fur was finished, he cut off the furry rabbit feet and cleaned the rabbit head.

He has sharp sword skills, and he handles it like a cloud and flowing water, very fast.

As soon as it was finished, Grandma Xi called him to eat.

"Mingcheng, it's time to eat."

"Oh." Gao Mingcheng replied, and walked into the kitchen with the skinned rabbit.

"Grandma, cooked this rabbit tonight! Hey, why do you still have half of the pork left to fry?" Gao Mingcheng frowned when he saw that there was still about half a catty of pork on the plate.

Grandma Xi explained: "The pork you bought should also be delivered to your home. It's not easy for your father and your brother to work on the railway, so we need to eat something good."

Gao Mingcheng didn't think about it, but Grandma Xi thought it out for him, and he agreed, okay, let's leave it at that, anyway, there is rabbit meat to eat at night.

Grandma fine today fried three dishes, one fried pork with chili, one fried bitter gourd, and one steamed eggplant.

In addition to these three dishes, there are fried dough sticks and buns that Gao Mingcheng bought at the market before.

Gao Mingcheng persuaded Grandma Xi and Gao Zhuang to eat deep-fried dough sticks, saying: "You guys eat it, I have eaten two before."

"Hey, good. I haven't eaten fried dough sticks for a long time! When I go to the market next time, I will go too!" Gao Zhuang took a fried dough stick and happily ate it.

The little grandma also ate it, but before eating, she split a deep-fried dough stick in half, handed half of the deep-fried dough stick to Gao Mingcheng, and said, "I'll just taste it. If I eat too much of this kind of thing, I'll get angry easily."

"Don't be afraid of getting angry, just eat more bitter gourd." Gao Mingcheng answered with a smile. In fact, bitter gourd is also quite delicious. Although it is slightly bitter, eating bitter gourd in hot weather will make you feel refreshed .

After lunch, Gao Mingcheng didn't plan to be idle, but planned to continue going into the mountains to get wild honey.

Their village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are many beehives in the mountains. He plans to get some more, and then take them to the county town to sell them.

This time he took the knife and bucket from Grandma Xi's house and went to the mountains.
