My village can't be like this

Chapter 290

"Okay, everyone, rest for a while, we have to go back."

Huang Erye tied two legs to all three deer, so that they could no longer jump.

In the village, if someone's horse has a bad temper and refuses to obey discipline, the owner's family will also be tied up like this.

In this way, no matter how fast and how high it can jump before, it can only walk slowly in small steps, which is a very practical method.

"Sure enough, I'm still old. People, I still have to obey the old age. After a long time, I'm already out of breath."

I was busy chasing deer just now and kept climbing up and down in these stone nooks and crannies.

Resting now is really a bit tiring, everyone is full of breath.

"I still remember when we were young, we came to chase the mountains every year. At that time, we chased the prey all over the mountains without stopping."

"Second Master, it's a bad thing to say that. It's not just you. Look at them who can be more relaxed than you."

Chen Ze and Ding Yi next to them were out of breath for a long time, so they held the water bottle to replenish water.

Zhang Ping was better, but he was still panting.

After resting for a while, the big guy finally slowed down.

"Yes, old man, your body is already very strong. Don't say you are as old as you in the city, even if there are many young people, they are not as good as you."

Not to mention the city, even in the countryside, many old people are still farming.

But when it comes to people of the same age as Huang Erye, there are really not many people who can walk freely in the mountains.

At least Zhang An is in the ten miles and eight villages nearby, and he can't see much.

"Okay, now that you've rested, let's go back."

Although it was still dark, the road down the mountain was not easy, and I had to bring these disobedient guys with me.

Go back early to avoid any situation on the road.

And with more time, there is no need to rush on the road.

There were three Lin deer tied by their front and rear feet, Huang Erye led Ding Yi and two people, each leading one of them.

Zhang Ping walked forward, ready to pick up the head that Zhang An had beaten to death.

The forest deer in the mountains are not very heavy, and the adult ones generally weigh [-] to [-] kilograms.

This one was a stag, and it was taller than the others, weighing about [-] to [-] jin.

"Brother Ping, let me recite it, you watch from behind."

Zhang An cut two weeds and vines, and tied the front and rear feet separately.

Then he lifted his hands to his shoulders and put the deer's four feet on his shoulders.

It's easier to carry like this, although it's not much worse.

However, Zhang An forked the deer's neck, and the main artery kept bleeding.

If you use your back, it will be troublesome to get blood all over your body.

Zhang An opened his mouth, but Zhang Ping didn't treat him politely, anyway, Zhang An had great strength.

Although he can carry more than 100 kilograms on his back, he is definitely not as easy to walk as Zhang An.

"Hey, the deer's two hooves are tied, so it really can't jump up."

Just now, Lin Lu, who jumped a few meters high and a few feet away, can only follow behind Chen Ze and the others with small steps.

It's just that it's a bit smooth when walking, and it's not very flexible when going downhill.

But for a few people, the inflexibility of this deer is equivalent to their flexibility.

If the deer is flexible, they will have trouble to do.

The first thing everyone did when they returned to the camp was to light the firepit.

"Tuigui, today is much colder than yesterday."

Although I came back all the way, I can sweat just walking on the mountain road.

But after I rested, I felt a bit cold and freezing. It was obvious that the temperature today was even lower than yesterday.

"It's a little colder than yesterday. It's probably going to snow in the next few days. Let's light up the fire tonight."

"That's fine, but there's not much dry firewood left. I'll go to the woods to pick some up before it gets dark."

Naturally, there is no shortage of firewood in the forest farm, and you don't need to cut it manually, you can just dig into the woods and pick up a lot.

"Then we'll go with you."

Seeing that there was something to do, Chen Ze and Ding Yi stood up and said.

They can't help with other complicated things, they can only watch.

Going into the woods to collect firewood does not require any skills, just a little effort.

"Second Master, you and Brother Ping slaughtered the deer first, and we will boil the deer meat tonight."

Although the venison tasted very fishy, ​​it was at home.

When you come to the mountains and forests, who will choose this and that, and this stuff is much tastier than wild pork.

After a busy day, I have to improve my life no matter what.

"Yeah, well, then you go and come back early, it's getting dark soon."

Saying that, Huang Erye and Zhang Ping carried the whole road to the stream below, ready to be slaughtered.

If this was before, even if it was a dead deer, the old man would carry it back and sell it for money.

Because at that time, no one's conditions were good, and every time they entered the mountain, they would look at the selling price of these prey.

Eating more on the mountain means less money to sell.

The most important thing is that if many prey are slaughtered on the mountain, many parts cannot be brought back.

For example, the offal that cannot be sold is the only thing left in the village to eat at home.

So in the past, when the village organized autumn hunting, everyone picked up some food casually, and kept the prey they hunted if they could.

But now, the living conditions at home are much better than before, and they are no longer the same as before, and they worry about not having enough food after the food is delivered.

So as soon as Zhang An opened his mouth, Huang Erye took out his knife and prepared to kill without saying a word.

After helping to carry the deer to the stream, Zhang An led the two into the woods.

In the forest farm, the biggest advantage is that you don't have to worry about dry firewood.

Every autumn of those towering trees, the dry branches will fall to the ground, and it is easy to pick up a pile.

In this deep mountain, because no one came to pick up firewood on the fallen dead trees, mushrooms, ganoderma lucidum and fungus would grow on them after a long time.

Many villagers in the village picked up the mountain products sold to Ding Yi every year in this forest.

"Oh, who is it?"

"What's the matter, old Chen?"

Hearing Chen Ze's voice, Zhang An and Ding Yi both stood up to see him.

"I don't know what it is. It hurts to throw something at me from behind."

Chen Ze, who was collecting firewood seriously, was suddenly thrown from behind, and now he rubbed his waist.

"Here, I threw this thing away."

Chen Ze turned around and found the murder weapon at the scene of the crime, which was a freshly picked wild chestnut.

Zhang An looked back and found a tall wild chestnut tree on the top of the cliff behind.

On the top, there is a monkey squatting, while the two tigers are under the tree, staring at it.

"Well, the murderer is there."

Needless to say, it must be the monkey who hit people with things.

In the mountains, these annoying things, whether they meet people or other animals, like to throw things down.

Moreover, the strength of these monkeys is not small, and it still hurts to throw them at people.

"What the fuck, this dick monkey is disgusting."

No way, the monkey is on the tree, and there is nothing they can do about it.

So Chen Ze held back for a long time before he cursed, the quality is indeed quite high.

If this person were from the village, they would have invited their ancestors to the [-]th National Congress.

At this time, Chen Ze felt a little regretful, he would have brought the compound bow with him if he knew it earlier, and taught him a lesson. ,

"It's also a monkey, why don't you imitate your great sage to be likable."

When Zhang An heard this, he couldn't hold back anymore. That guy, the Great Sage, was even more annoying than this one at that time.

It was because it hit Zhang An with a stone that Zhang An caught it in the space and beat it up.

"Forget it, why bother with a monkey? Let's pick it up quickly and go back."

It was just a monkey, it was so common in the mountains, Zhang An didn't plan to pay attention to it.

The more you tease this thing, the more exciting it becomes.

However, it is obvious that this monkey is as cheap as that guy from the Great Sage.

Although Zhang An and the others ignored it, it showed its teeth and claws on the tree.

As if he was very unhappy to be ignored, he screamed and continued to throw chestnuts at Zhang An and the others.

"It's grandma's, this thing is really cheap."

"Hey, it's okay, just be careful not to get hit."

Seeing the monkey picking chestnuts and throwing them down, Zhang An did not stop him.

"I was thinking of climbing up and picking some after collecting firewood later. Now it throws it down, which is a help."

This chestnut was ripe not long ago, but no one came to pick it, so it has been hanging on this tree.

On weekdays in this mountain, animals such as monkeys or squirrels come to pick them.

This wild chestnut is not small, so it is good to burn it later or put it in a pot for stewing.

Half the time passed, the monkey looked at Zhang An and the others under the tree and still had no reaction.

I guess I felt bored and my energy was exhausted, so I jumped away.

"Here, this is a good man, no, he is a good monkey. He knew that we had enough so he didn't pick it."

Zhang An untied the snakeskin bag, and picked up all the wild chestnuts on the ground into the bag.

The quantity is still quite a lot, it is estimated that it weighs more than ten catties, and there can be more than ten catties of wet chestnuts when peeled off.

After Mao Li collected enough firewood, Zhang An and the others turned around and returned to the camp.

"Hey, Zhang An, there are mushrooms here, let's get some to cook."

I didn't pay attention when I came here. When I went back, Ding Yi found some yellow mushrooms in the woods.

As he said that, he was about to squat on the ground and pick.

"Forget it, Lao Ding, let's not eat this mushroom."

Zhang An took a look, and saw that this was the famous Jianshouqing.

In the very cold winter, mushrooms are rarely seen in the mountains.

Because most mushrooms are afraid of cold, they do not grow in winter.

This Jianshouqing is one of the few mushrooms that can grow in winter.

"Haven't you heard that in the mountains, the more beautiful and fresher the mushrooms are, the less edible they are, because they are basically poisonous."

"What, is this a poisonous mushroom?"

Ding Yiyi told Zhang An that the mushrooms were poisonous, so he quickly threw away the ones he picked.

"Hey, it's changed color, does this thing look so monster?"

Zhang An shook his head, he still lacked experience. For Jianshouqing, it's normal for him to change color.

"This stuff is called Jianshouqing, and it's poisonous. If you are the people next door, it's probably fine to eat it, but unfortunately, you are not."

"What, this thing is poisonous and divided into places? This is blatant regional discrimination."

The Internet has not yet emerged these days, so of course they don't know.

"You guys don't know that. You see that there are many poisonous mushrooms in hand green, and they also have natural enemies, that is, the masses of the people in the neighboring Yun province."

Although it is seen that the green hand is poisonous, but the fate of the thing in the stomach cannot be escaped next door.

It is estimated that the poison resistance of the people there is fully stacked, and this toxicity is nothing to them.

But for foreigners, it's hard to say.

If you are at home, you can try it without any problem, and it is also convenient to send it to the hospital.

But forget it in this mountain, it will take half a day to go down the mountain, so don't try it. "

After knowing that it is poisonous and cannot be eaten, Ding Yi did not continue to pay attention to Jianshouqing.

Everyone carried a bundle of dry firewood and walked towards the camp.

Zhang An and the others had been out for a long time, and when they came back, Second Master Huang had already peeled the deerskin.

"Second Master is amazing, he peeled off the skin so quickly."

"Yeah, the skin is peeled really well, and it's intact."

This kind of skinning is not easy and takes time.

People who don't know how or are not skilled enough will even peel the deerskin to pieces.

As for the chapter Huang Erye peeled off, except for the holes Zhang An pierced into his neck, the other parts were peeled off without any damage.

It seemed that the old man had done this job a lot in the past and was extremely skilled at it.

"Hey, how do you say that sentence, you are familiar with it."

Being praised by young people, the old man felt very refreshed.

“When I hunted deer in the past, if I didn’t know how to skin it, I had to ask someone to do it, and I had to pay a lot of money.”

"I was poor at that time, and I went to live in the mountains because I had no money. In the end, I just learned to peel myself, and I can spend less money."

"But the wish is good. It's just that when the skin was peeled, it was damaged a lot, so I practiced this skill. This skill needs to be practiced more, and there is no other knock on the door."

In addition to being happy, Huang Erye also told everyone about the past.

"It's getting late, let's get ready to eat on the hour, have a good meal today, and go down the mountain tomorrow."

I was supposed to be able to go down the mountain today, but I walked very slowly with a few deer, including a dead one.

It’s more dangerous to walk around in the mountains after dark, so for safety’s sake, stay one more night in the mountains.

"Come on, Brother Ping, cook this together."

Zhang An poured out the chestnuts from the snakeskin bag, and there was a small pile.

"Hey, wild hair chestnut, where did you find it?"

Huang Erye picked up one and smashed it open with the back of the hatchet.

"It's still relatively fresh. It should be the latest batch to mature. Put it in the pot and stew together later. This stuff is delicious."

"On the top of the cliff at the back, there is a very tall chestnut tree, and there seem to be quite a few of them."

While talking, Zhang An picked up a lot of chestnuts and threw them into the firepit, covering them with ashes and burning them.

The roasted chestnuts are not bad either. When Zhang An was a child, the village dolls liked to pick the chestnuts and burn them when they went to herd cattle in the mountains.

Hearing Zhang An say that there are still many, Huang Erye is a little moved.

These chestnuts are not cheap either. You can make some money by picking them and selling them.

But thinking that there are still a lot of things to bring down the mountain tomorrow, and the road is far away, I can only give up this idea.

"Here, brother Ping, and this bag of rice, let's make pot rice later."

Zhang An walked into the wooden house, and then came out with a small bag of rice.

Not much, only three or four catties.

"Hey, you also brought rice."

Tired of eating meat on the mountain every day, everyone was a little delighted to see this bag of rice.

People who are used to eating rice will feel uncomfortable if they don't eat it for a few days.

In fact, when mountain people go to work in the mountains, many people will bring some cakes or rice.

It's just that Zhang An was the first one to go into the mountains to bring rice.

"I brought it with me when I came here before, but I didn't bring much considering the distance."

Originally, because Chen Ze and Ding Yi followed, Zhang An was afraid that they would not be used to it, so he brought them here to cook porridge.

But they had eaten a lot in the past two days, and they ate quite deliciously, so they didn't use it.

Tomorrow is going down the mountain, so I will cook a pot tonight and have a good meal later.

　Today I originally wanted to make up for what I owed yesterday, but in the past two days, the village has to replace the transformer, and there are planned power outages every day, and the power will be delivered at night, so I can’t do it, let’s talk about it later hahaha
