Return to the small mountain village in 1986

While Gao Mingcheng was getting firewood and hunting hares in the mountains, Gao Yue and Lin Ye each took a basket and went into the mountains to pick pears and bayberries.

Since the fruit trees are not big, there are not many pears hanging on the trees now. After picking this batch, they will all be picked. If you want to eat these watery huanghuali again, you have to wait until next year.

Because bayberries mature slowly, there are still some unripe bayberries hanging on the trees. After picking this batch, you can pick another batch in a few days.

Since Gao Mingcheng taught him how to drive, Lin Ye helped with the work this time and was very active and enthusiastic. Under the scorching sun, he quickly picked the fruits. Since he was taller than Gao Yue, he could easily pick the fruits on the treetops. fruit.

"Gao Yue, Ming Cheng is really powerful. He has properties in the city and the village! The fruit trees in this orchard are still small now, but after two more years, the annual income of the orchard will be quite a lot." Lin Ye was envious.

They are all of the same age, and although he is almost certain that he will have a promising future, he is still far behind Gao Mingcheng.

Gao Yue was also very emotional. When he was in the village, there were so many children in the village, but his brother and Gao Mingcheng played the best. Every time they fought with other small gangs in the village, they often won.

Ten years ago, Gaojia Village was full of their naughty figures wandering into mountains and rivers.

Ten years later, his brother Gao Hong was serving in the army and he was studying in the police academy. However, Gao Mingcheng already had a lovely wife and young son and a huge industry.

Envy is definitely envy, but the good brother has a good life, and he is also quite happy.

Gao Yue said proudly: "What is this? Ming Cheng bought a building in the capital!"

"What? Really? The capital..." Lin Ye was amazed, with a look of longing on his face. It turns out that doing business in the sea is really so profitable?

Lin Ye was a little yearning, but he told himself that after he graduated, he would enter a good employer. As long as he worked in the employer for a few years, the employer would allocate a room to him!
Compared with a self-employed person who needs to spend money to buy a house, he doesn’t have to worry about it!

At this time, Lin Ye's knowledge of real estate was obviously insufficient.

In his opinion, as long as he goes to work in the company and the company assigns him a room to live in, no matter how good the allocated house is, he will not think too much about whether it really belongs to him.

Like Lin Ye, Gao Yue never thought of going into business. His and Lin Ye's parents both had work units, and they themselves were college students. After graduation, they would be assigned jobs, and after they got jobs, their work units would allocate housing.

Therefore, in their world, when you are in college, you learn your skills well, and after you work, you work hard, and you don’t need to think too much about other things.

The two of them started working while talking, and in a short time, they had finished picking all the pear trees.

We went down the mountain to the shed at the foot of the mountain. We put down the pears first, rested for a while, then picked up the bamboo basket and went to the bayberry forest.

After picking bayberries, I went to the chicken coop to pick eggs.

The last time Lin Ye came here, after picking fruits, he only felt very hot and was not interested in picking eggs. But this time when he picked up eggs, he felt very accomplished.

Because of the double robbery, Chen Dasong was not as conscientious in taking care of the chicken coop as before. Therefore, as soon as they entered the chicken coop, they saw that there were many eggs in each chicken coop, as many as seven or eight, and as few as four. Five!

When picking eggs, you will have a sense of harvest, and this sense of harvest will make people feel very happy.

After they moved the pears, bayberries and eggs back home, they saw that Gao Mingcheng had prepared firewood and brought back several hares!
Seeing the hare, Lin Ye's eyes widened instantly, shining with curiosity, and he asked: "Ming Cheng, how did you get this hare? Did you shoot it with a shotgun? I didn't even hear the gunshot! "

Before Gao Mingcheng could answer, Gao Yue smiled first. He pointed to the wound on the hare's head and said, "You can tell it was stabbed by a knife just by looking at the wound! Lin Ye, you don't know that Mingcheng is very skilled. Okay, your sword skills are also very accurate!”

"Ming Cheng, show it to Lin Ye!" Gao Yue encouraged. In fact, he also wanted to see it again.

Gao Mingcheng smiled and didn't say much. The knife was right next to him. He picked it up casually without looking at it. He threw it casually and the blade instantly sank into a water tree not far away, leaving only the handle. outer.

After the "duh" sound, the world seemed to be silent for a few seconds.

"Oh my God! This is such an accurate throw! The ancients' arrow technique can pierce a poplar with a hundred steps, so can you Ming Cheng?" Lin Ye's eyes shone with excitement, and he couldn't wait to increase the difficulty for Gao Ming Cheng.

After hearing this, Gao Mingcheng did not refuse. He said, "I'll give it a try!"

A modern person's step is to step out one leg, which usually can reach about 75 centimeters, so a hundred steps is 75 meters. This distance seems to be average, but every dynasty and every generation has different definitions of the quantifier step.

There is an idiom that goes: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." So what is a small step? Lifting your leg and taking a step forward is called a small step, and taking a step with each foot is called a step.

In other words, the actual distance of the ancients' hundred steps crossing the Yangtze is about 150 meters.

If you can hit a willow leaf from a distance of 150 meters, you are indeed an expert archer.

Gao Mingcheng estimated the distance, then pointed to a camphor tree a hundred meters away and said, "Just that tree, look carefully!"

As he spoke, his body muscles tensed, and he held the knife in his right hand. After looking at it intently for a moment, as if looking for luck, a few seconds later, his hand suddenly moved, and the knife was thrown out of his hand and flew a hundred meters away. Shoot away.

Because the speed was too fast, a sharp sound broke through the air for a short period of time.

The knife flew out and hit the target in an instant. A camphor tree leaf was stabbed by the blade. Then, the camphor tree leaf was torn off from the branch by the huge force, carrying the knife with it. and fell under the tree.

Gao Yue and Lin Ye both had good eyesight and saw this scene from a distance. Before their minds could react, their bodies had already quickly ran towards the camphor tree a hundred meters away.

Gao Mingcheng did not move, his eyes showed a hint of smile, and he gently twisted his neck and shoulders, as if relaxing his muscles.

He hadn't practiced for a long time, but fortunately he had practiced diligently before, and he had always maintained the habit of getting up early to practice boxing. His physical fitness was there, and his muscles had formed memory. When he wanted to do something, he could do it effortlessly.

Soon, Gao Yue and Lin Ye ran to the camphor tree and picked up the knife.

When they ran back, the knife was still stuck in the camphor leaf.

The green camphor leaves looked ordinary, but Gao Yue and Lin Ye looked at them with intense eyes.

Lin Ye said first: "Ming Cheng, give me this leaf. I plan to make it into a bookmark!"

This leaf is a leaf with a story!
After making a bookmark, if someone reads the leaf in the future, Lin Ye can tell the story to others.

It doesn't matter whether others believe it or not. What matters is that Lin Ye believed it.

It is said that hearing is deceiving and seeing is believing. This time he saw it with his own eyes. How could he not believe it?

Gao Mingcheng was stunned, but agreed to the request: "Okay."

After receiving the promise, Lin Ye carefully took out the leaves and held them in his hands as if they were treasures.

Gao Yue rolled his eyes speechlessly. In fact, he was shocked inside, but he was not embarrassed to do this. Gao Yue looked at the rabbit on the ground, clicked his tongue, and said, "With your skills like this, it's no wonder you don't need a gun to hunt!"

After sighing, he asked Gao Mingcheng whether the rabbit had been disposed of here or taken to the county.

Gao Mingcheng said: "I hunt hares, mainly for the dogs at home. Let's deal with them here. The fur is not good now, so I plan to boil water to scald the hair. Are you going to help me pick vegetables and watermelons, or will you help me pick vegetables and watermelons?" Boil water?"

Gao Yue and Lin Ye looked at each other. They had just returned from Xiaofushan. To be honest, they were a little tired. Although the watermelon was delicious, one weighed more than ten kilograms!

Picking watermelons is fun, but moving them is a chore.

So Gao Yue and Lin Ye agreed to stay at home and be responsible for lighting fires and water.

Gao Mingcheng felt comfortable ordering them around. Since the work had been assigned, Gao Mingcheng went to the fields with a big bamboo basket and a snakeskin bag.

Bamboo baskets are used to hold vegetables, and snakeskin bags are used to hold watermelons.

The watermelons are big, so you can’t put them in a bamboo basket, but you can put them in a snakeskin bag, and you can put a few at once, and then you can easily carry them home by throwing them on your shoulders.

These are all life experiences. Gao Mingcheng is like no other, and his life experience value is very high!
Gao Yue and Lin Ye were not idle at home. To make a fire, they needed to carry firewood to the kitchen, and to boil water, they also needed to fetch water from the well. These are actually physical tasks.

But when everyone worked together, they didn't seem so tired. Especially after witnessing Gao Mingcheng's miraculous stunts, Lin Ye admired Gao Mingcheng even more.

After they boiled a pot of hot water, Gao Mingcheng also picked vegetables and watermelons.

Compared with the previous few days, this time there were many more ripe watermelons in the field, so one bag was not enough. Gao Mingcheng took the snakeskin bag and walked into the field again.

I picked more than a dozen watermelons and twenty or thirty cantaloupes in a row.

When the watermelon is ripe, it must be picked in time, otherwise it will be too old and impossible to eat.

When I picked the watermelons, it was already past four in the afternoon. The sun was shining on the watermelons, which made them slightly hot. However, in order to prevent the watermelons from being damaged by the sun, the watermelons were covered with some straw.

Straw can provide some insulation.

Carrying a bag of watermelon back to his yard, Gao Mingcheng took out a large watermelon and put it into a basin, then quickly picked up two buckets of cold well water and soaked it.

After working for a long time, I have been thirsty for a long time, so I just want to eat a melon to quench my thirst.

It would be a while before the watermelons were ready, but Gao Mingcheng had already washed a few cantaloupes, picked them up and bit into them.

The skin of cantaloupe is thin, so there is no need to peel it, but although the flesh of the melon is sweet, the seeds inside are very juicy, and those who eat it easily will have juice on their faces.

Gao Mingcheng felt a juicy sensation when he took a bite.

After eating a cantaloupe in two or three mouthfuls, Gao Mingcheng invited Gao Yue and Lin Ye to come and eat too.

When Gao Yue and Lin Ye were picking pears and bayberries, they ate some fruits by the way. However, after hearing Gao Mingcheng's greeting, they each picked up a cantaloupe to eat. Gao Yue was eating the cantaloupe when he saw a watermelon on the ground out of the corner of his eye. It turned out to be bad. There was a small hole in the watermelon near the soil!

Looking at the marks at the hole, you can tell that it was bitten by a small carious animal, but it was just bitten a little. Therefore, although the watermelon is broken, it is not completely broken, and judging from the marks, it is still very fresh.

"Mingcheng, something had a hole in this watermelon!" Gao Yue thought Gao Mingcheng didn't notice, so he pointed at the small hole.

When small carious animals bite fruits in the field, they often bite them from a position close to the soil. Therefore, people cannot see it from the surface. Only when picking watermelons will you find that the watermelons have already Bitten bad.

Some of the bites were so severe that only a watermelon rind was left.

Gao Mingcheng took a look and said: "I know, there was another watermelon in the field that was bitten more severely and was already rotten. After I picked it, I threw it away far away. This melon was not that badly damaged. I plan to feed the chicken later.”

When they eat watermelon, a lot of rinds will be left. When the time comes, these melon rinds and bad watermelons will be eaten by the chickens, focusing on environmental protection and no waste.

After eating cantaloupe to quench their thirst, the three of them prepared to deal with the hare.

The black tiger and the elf seemed to have known that this was their ration for a long time, and they stayed by the side every step of the way. The dogs' eyes seemed to be shining with desire.

While Gao Yue and Lin Ye were scalding and plucking their hair with hot water, Gao Mingcheng brought some straw and fine firewood to prepare a fire to pluck the hair.

Rabbit hair is very fine, and when you pluck it out, you will definitely not be able to pull it out completely, so you need to use a fire to tease the hair, and during the process of pulling the hair, the rabbit skin will become tight, and it will also emit a faint meaty aroma.

When it came to the step of lifting their hair, the black tigers seemed a little impatient.

Not all the rabbits were teased and fed to the black tigers. When they were almost done, they were disemboweled and then chopped into pieces by Gao Mingcheng.

As soon as the internal organs were thrown out, the black tiger immediately grabbed the food into his stomach and quickly swallowed the food. Not to be outdone, the elf snatched another piece of rabbit liver.

After feeding the offal, the rabbit meat was chopped into pieces and piled on the ground for the five dogs to eat.

In addition to rabbits, the sparrows that Gao Mingcheng killed during his initial training were also plucked and thrown to the dogs.

Gao Mingcheng got a total of nine hares, some big and some small. All the small ones were fed to the family dogs, and the four big hares were kept by himself.

He gave one rabbit each to Gao Yue and Lin Ye, and kept two for himself. There were many people eating at his house, and without two rabbits, it was not enough.

Lin Ye got a hare, he was happy but a little embarrassed at the same time.

Gao Mingcheng said: "Take it, you have done a lot of work for me today."

Gao Yue felt much more at ease. When he helped Gao Mingcheng work, he really helped, and when he took things, he really took them.

But he had a request. Gao Yue said: "Mingcheng, next time you go to the mountains to get rabbits, take me with you!"

Lin Ye's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said: "Take me with you too!"

Gao Mingcheng thought for a while and said: "It's okay to take you with me, but you also have to help me with the work. Next time I return to the village, I will probably shake honey. You two haven't shaken honey yet, right? That's okay, Let me add some life experience to you!”

Thinking of the last time he shook honey, with his physical fitness, his hands were tired, so Gao Mingcheng felt that it was time to find foreign aid.

They can eat the fruits in the mountains and the game in the mountains, but they have to work! (End of chapter)
