Chapter 16 Entering the mountains!into the mountains!
A catty of meat is not much, but in a famine year when there is not enough to eat, it is really precious.

Each family takes the meat back, stews the stews, and makes soups.

But no matter how reluctant to eat it, the oil star will disappear in just three days.

The whole village was still unsatisfied. Looking at the clear soup and porridge on the table that had returned to its original state, the young and old men were all "cowardly" and looked towards the mountains outside the village.

Taijia Village faces south from the north.

There are plains to the south and west, and the fields where the villagers live and work are also here.

But the north side is leaning against a mountain corner, and there is a dirt road leading to the county town.

This corner of the mountain is a bit barren, but the mountains and forests to the east are continuous, there are fifty or sixty if not a hundred, and the products are relatively rich.

Although there have been years of disasters and the area has been heavily plundered by the nearby people, if you go deeper, you should still be able to gain something.

So, everyone gathered at Mr. Tai's house, and surrounded Mr. Tai to the entrance of the village.

Tai Sanye is the patriarch and the backbone of the whole village.

But when it comes to hunting or matters that need to be resolved by force, everyone still trusts Mr. Tai more.

After all, he was born in the military, and it is said that he even worked as an officer in front of the general!

When he got up early in the morning, Tai Jiye begged for more than a tael of silver with a smile, took a piece of roe deer meat pickled at home, and ran back to the county town to fool around.

Of course, according to him, it is to look for opportunities to make a fortune.

The family couldn't stop him, and they didn't want to upset Mr. Tai, so they ordered a few words and quickly sent him away.

Tai Jizong and Tai Jizong took Yong'an and took apart the broken carriage. They kept what could be used and made small sledges for the children if they couldn't use it.

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue had enough food for two days, and there was oil and water in their stomachs, because they had no place to use their strength.

At this moment, the two of them were running across the yard while pulling the sledge.

Needless to say, sitting on the sledge was their baby sister!
Zhuzhu was wrapped like a cotton ball, except for the two eyes, nothing leaked out.

So much so that the mischievous Beifeng circled the little girl countless times, but he didn't find a chance to give her two bright red cheeks!

Mr. Tai held the pipe pole, looked at the laughing grandchildren for a while, and looked at the distant mountains for a while, wondering what to think.

"Old Six, you are at home!" Third Master Tai greeted loudly outside the broken wooden door.

Then, he walked in with the villagers, and said with a smile: "These greedy boys are making trouble for you again!"

Mr. Tai hurriedly called everyone into the house, "My fellow clansman, what are you talking about causing trouble. Come, come in and drink a bowl of hot water!"

While talking, everyone entered the house. Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue were afraid of missing the opportunity, so they followed them in with their chubby sister between them.

Yang Lihua thought that the women in the village were coming again, so she hurriedly hid the sewing basket and cotton.

As soon as she came out of the Westinghouse, she saw her daughter being strangled by her brothers and hanging in the air, her face flushed red!

Well, what Bei Feng failed to do, these two idiots easily accomplished!
Yang Lihua hurriedly stepped forward to save her daughter's life, and sent her son and nephew to stand in the corner.

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue were not afraid either, they bared their teeth and listened to the excitement, and would bend each other's elbows from time to time!

The villagers were talking about hunting.

I wish I could just go up the mountain and pick up a dozen wild boars, a hundred rabbits, and pheasants. I completely forgot about the howling of wolves at night, and they hid in the bed shivering like cowards.

But Old Master Tai didn't dampen their morale, instead he asked Third Master Tai, "Third Brother, hunting is a good thing, but this weather is also very dangerous.

"If you really want to go into the mountains, the number of people should not be too many, fifteen or six people are enough, and you must be strong and able to wield a hatchet, and you must also bring dry food.

"We certainly can't all go to the [-] households in the village. So, if we provide people, we won't get food, if we provide food, we won't get people, and the prey we get will be divided equally. What do you think?"

Third Master Tai nodded quickly and responded: "That's right. If someone's family has both people and food, the time for hunting will be doubled."

The rest of the villagers made up their minds, and as if they didn't suffer a loss, they clamored and agreed.

Tai Yong'an stamped his feet anxiously, fearing that his grandfather wouldn't take him with him.

But before he could ask for help, Zhuzhu had already asked her mother what hunting was.

She didn't understand anything else, but the little girl understood the word "eat meat" perfectly!

"Grandpa, eat meat, meat!"

Naituanzi clapped her chubby little hands desperately, her big eyes shining, making everyone laugh.

The old man stretched out his right arm, took his granddaughter, and lovingly pricked her little face with the stubble, "Zhuzhu is waiting at home, grandpa will bring you meat back! Keep your belly full!"

"Grandpa, take me with you, I'm strong! I'll carry the wild boar back for my sister!" Tai Yong'an finally found his chance, shaking his head and moving towards his grandfather.

As a result, needless to say, he was rejected by his "female patriarchal" grandfather again.

Grandpa Tai pushed his grandson away, and scolded with a smile: "Go if you want, if you get cold and hungry on the mountain, don't regret it."

"No regrets, no regrets!" Tai Yong'an happily jumped three feet high, his big head almost hit the beam of the house.

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue were also itchy. Just as they were about to rush to their grandfather, their mouths were covered by the quiet Tai Yongning...

Perhaps the desire to eat meat was too strong, and the villagers who had been lazy all winter became diligent.

If you have a simple bow and arrow at home, you can repair it and make a few more arrows.

If you have a hatchet at home, quickly use the whetstone to sharpen it.

The family really didn't have anything at hand, so they also cut two wooden sticks to make weapons.

Tai Sanye's family has produced two axes, which are suitable for chopping firewood on the mountain or disposing of prey.

Mr. Tai asked his son to move out an old box, which contained a suit of armor, a saber, and a bow and arrow.

Although it can be seen that it has been a long time, it is very clean.

Grandpa Tai fiddled with his intact right arm for a long while before finally giving the bow and arrow to the eldest grandson, keeping the saber for himself, and hiding the rest.

Tai Yong'an was so excited that he walked around with his longbow several times, and the greedy Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue almost rolled on the ground.

It's a pity that the family rules are strict, and they dare not...

On the other hand, Zhuzhu heard that the bow, arrow and saber could "bring" meat back, and she held her in her arms and played with it for a long time. Finally, with a sullen face, she solemnly handed it over to her grandfather and elder brother, shouting loudly.

"Beat meat!"

"Haha, okay, grandpa will give my family Zhuzhu a beating!" The old man smiled and put his arms around his granddaughter like a sweetheart.

Tai Yong'an even slapped his skinny chest loudly, "Don't worry, my sister, my brother will definitely bring you a big wild boar back, enough for you to eat for a year!"

Soon, the food gathered by the whole village was also sent to Tai Sanye's house, and a hundred steamed buns were steamed, and the 15 people who went up the mountain shared six or seven on average and carried them in their arms.

During this period, He Hua, the daughter-in-law of Mr. Tai's family, made another joke and was caught stealing food.

Tai Sanye had long been unhappy with his daughter-in-law's gossip, so he took this opportunity to let his son pick up the broom again.

Poor Lotus's mouth was swollen but she didn't dare to cry because the old and young men had to go up the mountain.

In case of bad luck, the whole village can eat her raw!

After waiting to send the hunting team led by Old Master Tai into the mountain, the village suddenly became quiet.

The women of each family rushed to each other, bought a shoe sole, and joined in the fun.

But Yang Lihua didn't have this thought, she just stared at her little daughter.

Because the fat girl fell asleep as soon as the hunting team left...
