Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Women mostly give birth at night, which is similar to other mammals, probably because it is relatively safe at night.

However, many people gave birth to babies during the day because they were pushed and frightened, and their amniotic water broke directly. However, giving birth during the day also has the advantage of daytime. It is more convenient to call for help. In case the birth cannot go smoothly, It is more convenient whether you send the person to the health center or call the doctor from the health center.

Gao Mingcheng couldn't help with anything else, so he was responsible for lighting the fire in the kitchen. From time to time, he would ask Aunt Liu outside the window so that he could know in time the condition of Duoyu.

Fortunately, many jade have been working in the fields all year round and are in good physical condition. In addition, they are not first-time mothers, so the process from initiation to birth was generally smooth.

Just like in the previous life, Duoyu gave birth to a daughter.

When Duoyu learned that she was a daughter, she was still a little disappointed, but it was also a good sign to have both children, so she quickly accepted it.

Many jade can be produced smoothly, and Gao Mingcheng is relieved. He smiled and congratulated Zhang Chengyuan. Zhang Chengyuan chuckled and was in a good mood.

He is a married woman, and the child does not have his surname Zhang, but no matter what, the child is always his biological child. Zhang Chengyuan is open to this, and deep down in his heart, he does not want the child to inherit his surname.

"Brother, I brought back some bullfrogs from the mountains today. I will bring some to you later. After you clean them up, you can cook them for the second sister." Gao Mingcheng stood up and was about to go back.

After such a delay, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. After Aunt Liu helped clean up the children, she went back to her own house to do some work.

Chen Duofu was also in a good mood, working hard and smiling all day long.

About half an hour later, Zhang Chengyuan from next door suddenly came over. He said to Aunt Liu: "Auntie, the things have come out. Please help me clean them up!"

The new house was built very quickly. The beams and tiles have already been put up. Now it seems that the doors, windows and furniture are being prepared.

It is worth mentioning that Chen Duofu’s wife is pregnant!

Chen Dasong's house still had white walls painted. After painting the white walls, the house looked more spacious and brighter.

However, Duoyu also cherishes things, so she asked Zhang Chengyuan to spread old sheets, so that she wouldn't feel bad if they got dirty.

Once the door and window furniture is ready, people can move in.

Gao Mingcheng divided one into two, giving one half to Zhang Chengyuan and the other half to Aunt Liu, because he had to have dinner at Aunt Liu's house.

Nowadays, many jades are not lying on beds, but lying on the ground to give birth. A pile of straw and plant ash is spread on the ground, and an old mat is covered on top. The person lies there to give birth. After giving birth to the child, she can Go to bed and rest.

When Gao Mingcheng sent the bullfrog over, Aunt Liu was amazed and said: "Mingcheng, where did you catch the bullfrog? I see that there are a lot less frogs in the field. In about half a month, there should be no frogs at all. figure."

Gao Mingcheng said: "I got it in the mountains. After climbing two hills, there was a ditch there with a lot of bullfrogs. Bullfrogs are different from frogs. They like to gather together. And there are few places with water, so It’s easy to find them when they’re all together.”

Because the mother still needs to eliminate lochia, if she is not careful, the bed will be soiled.

After all, today's houses don't pay much attention to decoration. It's already good to paint a big white wall and install a light bulb.

This makes Chen Dasong and Aunt Liu very happy. They have just built a new house and will soon bring their grandson!

Duoyu doesn't have to suffer this fate. She has no elders above her, and Zhang Chengyuan doesn't dare to disobey her, so she can do whatever she wants.

When Gao Mingcheng returned to his home, the bullfrogs he had caught before were still in the bucket. Because the temperature was not high, the bullfrogs did not move.

But it's not over yet at this point. Although the baby is born, the mother can't move yet. She still has to wait for the placenta to be expelled before she can clean up, change clothes, and then lie down on the bed.

There are several reservoirs in the village, there is water in the rice fields, and there are many canals and ditches, so it is not easy to find groups of frogs except in midsummer.

Some poorer families don't even paint large white walls or cement walls. After the house is built with blue bricks, the doors and windows are simply fixed, and you can move in directly.

After Gao Mingcheng put down Bullfrog, he looked at Chen Dasong's new house.

Some families who are harsh on their daughters-in-law do not allow their daughters-in-law to go to bed at this time, but let them continue to lie on the floor, or move them to the utility room to sleep on a simple bed made of wooden boards.

"Hey, okay." Aunt Liu stood up and asked Chen Duofu to continue cooking while she went to Zhang Chengyuan's house to help.

Not long after, Aunt Liu took out a bag of things in a plastic bag and gave it to Zhang Chengyuan, asking him to take it to the mountains to dig a hole and bury it.

Placenta is also called Ziheche. In the past, it was still a traditional Chinese medicine. However, people in the village do not cook or eat placenta. They usually bury the placenta in the mountains.

Later, most people gave birth in hospitals, so the placenta did not need to be handled by oneself, and could just be left to the hospital.

Hospitals usually treat it as waste, but there may be some doctors who sell placentas privately. After the dealer buys it, they make it into capsules in a dirty small workshop and sell it to people in need.

As a man, Gao Mingcheng did not understand this.

There are thousands of delicacies in the world, and there are thousands of medicinal materials in the world, why bother eating that kind of thing!

Thoughts were surging in his mind. Gao Mingcheng sat on the bluestone and fell into a daze without realizing it.

It wasn't until Aunt Liu called him to eat that he came to his senses and went to the table to eat.

People eat at the table and dogs eat under the table, which is quite harmonious.

After dinner, twilight fell, and the dusk enveloped the entire Gaojia Village. The dark gray tone gave the mountains, forests, and houses a mysterious color for no reason.

In the growing dusk, the cool moonlight shone through. Gao Mingcheng looked up and saw the first quarter moon hanging in the sky.

The cool breeze blows from the other side of the hill, making the leaves rustle. Some deciduous trees shed their yellow leaves in the wind, but only the pines, cypresses, bamboos, etc. are still green and tall.

Frost's Descent does not mean that frost is about to hit, but refers to the last solar term of autumn. On the day of Frost's Descent, the temperature difference between day and night is very large. When working in the fields during the day, those who are hot can only wear short sleeves, but in the morning and evening, they should wear short-sleeved shirts. Put on your coat.

Gao Mingcheng was still wearing daytime clothes, but he was in good physical condition. Although the wind blowing on his face felt a bit cool, it was not cold enough.

But there is a kind of coldness, which is when others think you are cold.

No, Aunt Liu couldn't stand it, and hurriedly asked Gao Mingcheng to go back to the house and put on his coat, so as not to get cold.

Gao Mingcheng had nothing to do here, so he simply took this opportunity to go home. Black Tiger and Elf immediately followed him and escorted him home.

Entering the yard, Gao Mingcheng found that the rice that had been spread out in the yard had been collected, and he was putting his bags in the utility room.

As for the tea seeds still lying there under the eaves, don’t worry about it for the time being. Put them under the eaves where they can’t be blown by the wind or rain, and not many animals will eat them. So there’s no need to bag them every day and put them away when the day comes tomorrow. , and then put it in the yard to dry.

Gao Mingcheng turned on the light, went back to his bedroom, tidied the bed randomly, and waited for a good sleep.

However, he did not plan to sleep for the time being. He wanted to catch a wild rabbit this morning, but failed. He felt a little unhappy. He had originally planned to go for a walk in the mountains in the evening because at that time most wild rabbits would come out to look for food.

But because many jade babies were born temporarily, he couldn't leave, so he didn't have time to get them.

Gao Mingcheng found a flashlight from the cabinet, picked up a dagger and javelin, and prepared to enter the mountain.

Gao Mingcheng rarely hunts at night, but brother Gao Fuqiang, who has a gun in his hand, likes to go hunting in the mountains at night. Of course, whether he catches it or not is another matter.

There are animals in the mountains that are active during the day and some that are active at night, so if you go hunting in the mountains at night, you can still catch prey, but it will be more difficult than during the day.

But Gao Fuqiang and the others had to do things during the day and had no time to wander into the mountains, so they could only take a blunderbuss and go for a walk in the mountains at night, which was considered hunting.

Gao Mingcheng led Black Tiger and Elf and planned to try their luck in the mountains. During this time, there were still hares wandering around outside, wild boars would also come out of their caves to look for food at night, and there were also hedgehogs, weasels and other small animals.

But as soon as Gao Mingcheng entered the mountain, he saw the owl first.

There are owls and bats in their mountain, but the number of bats is not large, and they are not as scary as described in some novels.

Of course, if you want to use bats to play tricks on gods and ghosts, then Gao Mingcheng also knows a very damaging method.

If you have a feud with a family in the village and you want to take revenge on their family, but you can't defeat them, what should you do?

At this time, you can use the words of ghosts and gods to attack the opponent!
Everyone knows that blood smells fishy, ​​and bats like to suck blood. Among them, the fishiest smell is eel blood.

At night, you just need to secretly smear eel blood on the door of that house, and then a large number of bats will be attracted. The bats will peck at the eel blood on the door and make a loud noise, which will definitely attract that house to open the door. After checking, it turned out that as soon as I opened the door, there was a large group of bats. Do you think it was scary?

At this time, you can spread the word in the village that that family must have done something immoral, which led to the bat knocking on the door.

There were bats knocking on the door at night, and there were all kinds of rumors during the day. The family was frightened and must have been in great pain.

This method was mentioned by Gao Mingcheng when he was living outside in his previous life, but the protagonist of the story was a so-called fortune teller.

The fortune teller first hired someone to pour eel blood at the door of a certain house, attracting bats to knock on the door, and then spread rumors. When the family became frightened, someone lured out the fortune teller, saying that the fortune teller could give his family Eliminate misfortune, turn to feng shui, etc.

With such an operation, the fortune teller can defraud a lot of money.

Nine out of ten so-called fortune tellers rely on deception.

You think the fortune teller is very accurate, but in fact he has a team that is responsible for collecting information. In addition, the fortune teller also has a set of words. This set of words contains many specious words. After listening to it, you feel that although it is not particularly accurate, But it’s indeed right.

In fact, this is similar to the twelve zodiac’s personality theory, fortune theory, and Western constellation theory.

Seeing the vole caught in the owl's talons, Gao Mingcheng knew that this owl had very good hunting skills.

He ignored the owl, since he wasn't going to eat it anyway.

There is some benefit to hunting in the mountains at night during this season, because nocturnal snakes are about to hibernate, and even if they have not fallen into hibernation, they do not like to move.

But snakes need to eat a lot before hibernating and they don't like to move at night. How can they eat? This is easy to handle. At this time, many nocturnal snakes will be active during the day. When the temperature is high during the day, they take the opportunity to hunt for an hour or two. After filling their stomachs, they can wait for the temperature to drop and then enter a state of hibernation.

There are gradually more fallen leaves in the mountain forest, and when you step on them, they make a rustling sound.

The noises made by one person and two dogs are also clearer at night. Although Gao Mingcheng brought a flashlight, he did not choose to turn it on. The flashlight was placed in his pocket as a spare.

The moonlight penetrated the woods and fell down. When the sun passes through the woods during the day, it will form mottled light pillars in the sky, but the moonlight does not. Its light is softer, and when it pours down, it is like covering the woods with a layer of gauze.

There is a mysterious and graceful beauty.

In the silence, Gao Mingcheng's ears moved instinctively. He just heard some subtle noises.

"Woof woof." Elf, the stupid dog, didn't keep his composure. He even barked and ran towards a bush, and then successfully blocked a hedgehog.

The hedgehog was frightened and balled up into a ball, motionless.

Hedgehogs have hard armor, but they also have a weakness, that is, their abdomen is very soft. Sometimes animals such as eagles and owls will catch hedgehogs and eat them.

Hedgehogs are so cute, why should we eat them?
Gao Mingcheng lightly kicked the elf and said, "Go find the rabbit!"

Although the elf blocked the hedgehog, it still had a good memory and did not bite it. Gao Mingcheng remembered that when the elf was young, he led the elf into the mountains. Once, the elf also caught a hedgehog and even bit it!
As a result, the hedgehog was fine, but the elf's dog was screaming because of the thorns in its mouth!

Gao Mingcheng ignored the hedgehog and led the two dogs forward.

The hedgehog rolled into a spiny ball remained motionless. After a long time, it realized that the crisis was over, and then slowly stretched its body, and then continued to look for insects to eat.

Gao Mingcheng led the two dogs and wandered in the mountains for half an hour, but they still hadn't met the first rabbit of the night, which made him a little disappointed.

This is unscientific! With the reproductive capacity of rabbits, there are a lot of them in the mountains at this time!
It was after the advent of the battery power grid in later generations that some people used the power grid to electrify wild boars and rabbits, and the number of hares in the mountains gradually decreased.

Gao Mingcheng murmured in his heart, praying for the goddess of luck to come.

Just after praying, a hare appeared in front of me!

Gao Mingcheng was shocked and immediately took out the dagger from his waist. (End of chapter)
