My village can't be like this

Chapter 293
"Xiao An woke up, why don't you sleep a little longer, and our voice should be quieter."

Seeing Zhang An walking out of the tent, Second Master Huang thought it was the loud chatter of several people, which woke Zhang An up.

"No, I wake up at this time every day and can't fall asleep."

Since his life became more regular, Zhang An's schedule is simply too self-disciplined.

"By the way, what are you talking about? Why did I hear the leopard?"

The two leopards came here last night, and they just talked about it this morning, which is a bit too coincidental.

"Here, look at that roe deer. Two leopards came out of the camp this morning."

"One end holds the roe in its mouth and puts it at the intersection, while the other end waits there far away."

"After putting down the roe, they left here."

Huang Erye told Zhang An about the strange scene he saw in the morning.

"This leopard is the same. What is the meaning of putting the prey here? This is the first time my old man has seen such a thing."

"And Xiaohu and the others are also very strange. It doesn't make any sense to watch the two leopards get up."

"Hey, Xiao An, it must be some kind of leopard friend that the little tigers often go to the mountains to meet."

After this idea suddenly appeared, Huang Erye felt that it seemed to be the case.

Especially after the leopard found someone, it put the roe here.

And before they left, they turned their heads and glanced in Xiaohu's direction.

If this is a normal leopard, if it finds someone with its prey in its mouth, it will definitely run away immediately.

Besides, there were three live deer and one slaughtered deer in the camp. Would a normal leopard leave so easily when they encountered it?
The answer is definitely not. A leopard that has found a target will generally not leave easily.

Moreover, Mr. Huang thinks he is quite familiar with the dog Xiaohu.

Normally in the mountains, not to mention encountering leopards, even if encountering some other rabbits, they will enter a state of alert.

When I saw those two leopards today, Xiaohu didn't seem to be interested at all, something was very wrong.

"Second Master, the leopard you mentioned has a scar under one eye and a scar on the other's back."

In order to prevent Huang Erye and the others from overthinking, Zhang An could only start telling stories.

"Yes, yes, there is a scar under the eye at the end with the roe in its mouth."

"I know these two leopards. When they went to the mountain, they were surrounded by wolves and we rescued them in the end. So they know Xiaohu, and since Xiaohu goes to the mountains all the year round, they probably often move together."

The more stories are told, the more experience will be gained. When Zhang An said this, it seemed that there was such a thing.

"I'm just telling you, why did the little tiger relax? It turns out it knows there is no danger."

"However, these two leopards are quite interesting. You have come to give gifts after entering the mountain."

Looking at the deer on the ground, Huang Erye said in his heart that it was a lie if he was not envious.

That is a strong toothed deer, and the sachet alone can sell for thousands of dollars.

Although Zhang An's family raised a few pigs, who would not be envious of this stuff?

Huang Erye has been wandering in the mountains for decades, but he only caught deer once.

Although it is not small, it is a pity that it is a female and does not have a sachet.

Mr. Huang was not sure just now, so he didn't dare to move.

Now after hearing Zhang An's words, he knew that the deer was for Zhang An.

So I carried it back to the camp. It weighed about twenty catties.

Among the roe deer in the mountains, this physique is already considered a rare big roe deer.

"Second Master, is this deer the kind of musk-producing fragrant deer raised in Zhang An's family?"

In the past, Chen Ze and Ding Yi only knew sika deer.

But later, seeing more at Zhang An's house, Huang Ji, Zhang Zi, etc. all got to know each other.

Now we even know that deer seeds are divided into fragrant and non-fragrant ones.

"Yes, it is the musk deer, that is, the musk deer mentioned in the book."

"Then where is its sachet? I often hear people say that I haven't seen it yet."

Although Zhang An's house can see the two roe deer at any time, he also knows that the roe deer produces fragrance.

But they really didn't know where the musk came from. After all, they weren't there when Zhang An picked the incense last time.

"Well, right here."

Huang Erye pointed to the bulge under the navel of the deer's abdomen, and said to the two people next to him.

"Ugh, why is it so stinky, isn't this the best spice? Why is it more stinky than shit?"

The two people who were too close were immediately hit by the musk coming from the mouth of the sachet.

"It's normal to smell bad, because this musk is different from other fragrances. Its concentration is very high, and it smells bad when it is extremely fragrant."

Therefore, the ancients were very wise. They have long understood that no matter what they have, they should be in moderation, and life may not be happy.

"Okay, okay, the porridge is ready, everyone, come and eat."

Everyone circled around the deer, and they heard Zhang Ping, who was busy by the fire pond, greet him.

It takes at least half a day to go down the mountain, and I will definitely not be able to reach home at noon.

So before departure, everyone has a meal first, so that you won't be hungry too early at noon.

To avoid getting hungry halfway, you have to bring some food or stop to spend time.

When cooking rice last night, Zhang Ping left some rice on purpose.

When he got up this morning, Zhang Ping put a pot of water to cook porridge.

Although they didn't bring sugar, Zhang Ping cut some minced meat and cooked it together.

Add some salt and cook it into meat porridge.

Needless to say, all I ate for the past two days was greasy food.

Now drinking the porridge in the bowl, I think it tastes quite good.

After drinking the porridge, Zhang Ping washed the pot and continued to put it in the wooden house. It can be used again next time.

Zhang An and the others were responsible for cleaning up the surrounding area.

Especially in the fire pond, all the charcoal must be extinguished with water, and then a pit is dug to cover the pond ash.

Forest fire prevention needs to be taken seriously no matter in the past, now or in the future.

Don't be careless even if there is a little spark. With the dense forest behind you, there is fresh air that the village can breathe.

"Okay, let's go down the mountain and go home."

Mountain people go to the mountains to live, and home is a truly stable place.

Chen Ze and Ding Yi carried their own backpacks, and together with Huang Erye, each led a deer.

Zhang An and Zhang Ping were behind, wrapping the untied deer in plastic cloth and carrying it in a snakeskin bag.

When it comes to storing things, it has to be this snakeskin bag, which can be large or small, and can be adjusted at will.

As for the roe deer presented by the two leopards, Zhang An followed the team with his hands in hand.

To say that this deal is really a good deal, Zhang An gave the two of them a grass deer as a gift last night.

Early this morning, the two guys returned him a roe deer, which were indeed two exquisite leopards.

It is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down the mountain. In addition, on the return trip, I brought a lot more things than before, so the speed is naturally slower than when I came.

Although it is said to be going down the mountain, in fact, after coming down from the forest farm, the whole way is up and down, over mountains and mountains.

I stopped and rested several times along the way, and walked slowly until I reached the entrance of the village at two or three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Hey, Second Master, you have gained a lot from this trip to the mountains. You have caught so many grass deer, and they are all alive."

Walking to the entrance of the village, I met many villagers who had gone to the fields to spread fertilizer on rapeseed.

Zhang An and the others led a few deer, the target was not small, and they were quickly surrounded by everyone.

Grass deer is not a species of deer, but is actually what the villagers call doe, such as grass dog and grass chicken.

Seeing a few people holding hands and backing them, the onlookers were very envious.

It's the New Year's Eve, and everything is expensive.

Especially these grass deer were still captured alive, so the price would definitely be higher.

A few people went into the mountain two days ago, and many people in the village knew about it, and many people thought that it must be a waste of time to go to the mountain after the New Year.

After all, everyone in the mountains knows that it is more difficult to find things in the mountains in winter than at other times.

But I didn't expect that people went there for two days, and they gained so much once they came out.

Everyone is a discerning person, and after a random calculation in their hearts, they will know how much the harvest of this trip is worth.

But except for a very few people, most people are not jealous.

Because at the end of autumn, many people in the village invited their companions to go in for a few days.

Although there has been no autumn hunting organized in the village in the past two years, many people will meet spontaneously.

The old saying often says that you can rely on mountains to eat mountains, but eating mountains also depends on skill and luck.

Although they are all from the mountains, not all of them have that kind of kung fu in their hands.

So in the mountains, there are not many people who can really get the big guys.

This was actually the case in the past, except that in the past, the village organizations were all led by experienced old hunters in the village.

And after many people entered the mountains, they knew that they couldn't get the big guys.

You can only catch some pheasants and rabbits with trap sets, and then pick up mushrooms and other mountain products.

Fortunately, in the past two years, because Ding came to receive the goods.

He doesn't hold down prices like others, so these mountain products can be sold at a good price.

As for Huang Erye's experience in the mountains, there are only a few elderly people in the village who can compare.

The old man was one of the leaders of the autumn hunting before.

It is their ability to get such big guys.

This kind of work that depends on one's ability to make a living, and one's own inability to be envious of other people's affairs, is not welcomed by everyone in the village.

It's okay to close the door at home, but it would be shameful if others found out.

If you say something about jealousy in front of people, I'm sure the old lady in the village will tell you about it tomorrow and the whole village will know about it.

"Hey, it's all luck. You have to bring some big dogs from Zhang An's family, or you have to come back empty-handed."

Huang Erye smiled, and responded to everyone who said hello.

At this time, everyone looked away from the grass deer and looked at the dogs behind them.

Everyone didn't doubt what Huang Erye said, after all, Xiaohu and the others were stronger than the local dogs in the village.

The name of Xiaohu and the others has long been spread in the village, and there are not many people who don't know about it.

Many people in the village have been envious of them for a long time, and they wish they could raise one at home.

The little tigers often go into the mountains, and from time to time they catch some wild game and bring them home.

After a long time, people who pay attention a little bit are not ignorant, and they are shocked.

This little tiger caught more prey than ordinary hunters in one year.

If they are all sold, it will be a lot of money.

Such a dog is not a dog, it is simply the pillar of the family.

And it wasn't just this one, when Xiaohu and the others were fucking the wild boar, a lot of people saw them.

Such a dog is simply a rare good dog in the mountains. Who wouldn’t want one after seeing it?

But the eyes are hot, and Zhang An's dog is not easy to please.

It's not that Zhang An's family is hard to talk to, but that the dogs of Zhang An's family are too picky, and they are not worthy of ordinary straw dogs.

So even if you want to ask for it, there is no way, because there are no puppies.

Last time, the two tigers of Zhang An's family mated with the big black dog of Zheng Butcher's family, and they gave birth to four pups.

After many people knew about it, they were ready to carry things and come to ask for them.

Originally, Zhang An planned to leave one for Huang Erye, and the remaining three were taken away by Zheng Butcher's family.

But when Zhang and his party came back, Zhang An asked for one more, and asked Zhang and his party to take it to the Taoist temple to guard the gate.

So it's not easy for everyone to open their mouths, not to mention that Zhang An has already made a decision.

And these two are old people in the village, who dares to open their mouths and forcefully jump in line.

So in the end, I had to give my idea to the remaining two in Zheng Tuhu's house.

But before he went, he heard someone say that Butcher Zheng brought back two puppies.

He kept one for himself, and the other one was bought for more than 100 yuan.

Now people who want to beg for a dog don't have the nerve to go.

Not to mention that the dog has been sold, and the remaining one needs to be raised by the family.

Just say that the price of that puppy has already been set by someone, so if you go to ask for the dog, it's too embarrassing not to give you the money.

Even if you give it, you have the nerve to give it to others.

From then on, everyone gave up thinking that there was no hope for Butcher Zheng's family.

Few people in the village are willing to spend so much money to buy a pup.

So I can only hope that next year those big dogs in Zhang An's family will not pick their wives, and match up with the grass dogs in the village.

At that time, there will be more puppies, and it will be convenient to ask for it, and it will cost less or even no money.

The deer in Zhang An's hand had already found a bag to cover it when he went down the mountain.

Those forest deer are nothing to others to see, and the big deal is 800 yuan.

Although there are quite a few, that's all, and no one would be jealous.

But this deer is different. It can be thousands of dollars at every turn, so it is difficult for others not to be jealous.

Before Zhang An and the others arrived at the door, there was a lot of commotion in the village. Wang Fang and Su Ying went out to visit.

"I'm back, I'm going to cook for you."

When Wang Fang and Su Ying saw Zhang An coming back, they said with a smile on their faces.

After Zhang An entered the mountains, Wang Fang was always worried that he would starve and suffer from cold in the mountains.

Now that Zhang An has returned safely, he is relieved.

Zhang Jianguo also reached out to help them take the things on their backs.

"Mom, just do whatever you want. We drank porridge in the mountains in the morning and haven't had lunch yet."

Although several people drank some porridge in the morning, it was already afternoon.

Even Zhang An felt a little hungry, let alone the others, after all porridge is not enough.

While Wang Fang was busy in the kitchen, Zhang An led the three deer into a pen and tied them up.

After all, the space in their home circle is spacious and can be closed at will.

"Are you still planning to keep this deer or something else?"

Seeing the three forest deer, Zhang Jianguo asked, after all, his son wanted to raise everything he got.

"Chen Ze and Ding Yi both want one of these three deer, and they should be slaughtered at that time. The remaining one depends on what the second master and the others want. It can be sold or slaughtered."

Zhang An is not greedy for venison, even if the family wants to eat it, the slaughtered end can be divided into tens of catties for each person.

It didn't take long for Wang Fang to cook a pot of hot noodles and bring it over.

"Pay your stomachs first, and I'll cook in the evening."

I have to say that it tastes delicious when you are hungry.

A bowl of glutinous rice noodles seemed to be eaten by several people.
