Return to the small mountain village in 1993

Chapter 7 Wolf? !

After eating, the whole family went to bed.

Tianba Village is located deep in the mountains. It is so remote that there is no road, and it is even more impossible to get electricity. At night, everyone is reluctant to light candles or kerosene lamps, and they can only sleep after eating. .

Wang Xiuying gave her daughter a bath, changed into dry clothes, put on a diaper, and put her on the bed.

The little girl was probably tired from playing, so she turned over a few times on the bed without crying or fussing, and then fell asleep.

At this time, Wang Xiuying sat in front of the window, taking out straw from under the bed and starting to weave straw sandals with the help of the faint moonlight.

Wang Xiuying's hands are very skillful, and the straw sandals weave are fast and solid. They are also very clean and beautiful, with no rough spots.

Such straw sandals can now be sold for [-] yuan a pair, which is still relatively expensive.

Tian Hao watched for a long time, then picked up a pair of woven straw sandals and tried them on his feet. They were very soft and fit well. However, it was April and the weather in the mountains was still a bit cold. Suitable for wearing straw sandals.

"Have you been stimulated by anything in the past two days? Whether you speak or do things, you are completely different from before, as if you are a different person."

Wang Xiuying raised her head and glanced at Tian Hao, then continued knitting straw sandals and asked in a low voice.

Tian Hao was stunned, and the lie came out, "No, it was just after a drink last night that I suddenly woke up. People can't be so lazy anymore."

Wang Xiuying paused her hands and said quietly: "I hope you can always remember these words and don't forget them all after a sleep."

"Not anymore."

Tian Hao smiled and said, "By the way, I may have to go to the county tomorrow."

"Go for what?"

"Sell something."

Tian Hao didn't dare to tell the truth before he got the muntjac.

"Sell what?"

"It's just a little mountain product."

"Then take and sell the hares and pheasants you caught today."

"No, just keep those at home and eat them by yourself, and improve the food. Treating Dr. Liu for lunch today is probably going to wipe out all the money, right?"

"That's about right. Anyway, there's only one piece of bacon left, and the rice is really bottoming out. Just in time, you can buy some when you go to the county, and I'll get the money for you."

"Have you saved any money?"

When Tian Hao asked, Wang Xiuying suddenly woke up. She sat down again just as she was about to stand up. She curled her lips and said, "I said you suddenly became so good. Are you trying to get my money? Let me tell you, Tian Hao, all the money I have is for family emergencies, don’t even think about using it to play cards!”

"I……"

Tian Hao was speechless for a while.

I just wanted to make a joke, but I didn't expect that it would elicit such a big reaction from Wang Xiuying.

It seems that I was really a jerk before!
"Don't worry, I won't take your money. If I sell the mountain goods tomorrow, I will have money to buy rice."

Tian Hao smiled and said, "Honey, it's getting very late. Let's knit the straw sandals tomorrow. It's time for us to sleep."

"You go to sleep and I'll knit some more."

After what happened just now, Wang Xiuying was obviously wary of him, and her tone of voice had a sense of alienation.

Tian Hao couldn't help but sigh.

I was drunk last night, so when I saw my wife, I didn't have much thought, but tonight I couldn't help it. After all, it has been nearly 20 years since I last saw her.

How could he, a normal man, not want to be gentle with his wife?
Unfortunately, one of his words aroused Wang Xiuying's vigilance, and she missed the best opportunity to be gentle, so she could only wait until later.

Tian Hao has also been tired for a whole day. If he endures it for a while, he can still fall asleep.

The next day, it was dawn again, and Tian Hao woke up.

"You woke up early in the past two days." While Tian Hao was getting dressed, Wang Xiuying also woke up. She squinted at the hazy sky outside. It was probably only five or six o'clock.

"If nothing else happens, I will hunt a big one today. I will be so excited that I won't be able to sleep."

Tian Hao smiled and walked out.

"big guy?"

Wang Xiuying was startled and stood up, "Then I'll get you some breakfast. You can eat before heading into the mountain."

"also."

Tian Hao thought that he had not eaten for more than five hours yesterday from morning to noon, and he was indeed very hungry, so he did not refuse Wang Xiuying's kindness.

Wang Xiuying was very quick with her hands and feet. After Tian Hao finished washing and preparing the equipment for going into the mountain, she made breakfast.

Breakfast is very simple, a big bowl of pumpkin porridge, four boiled red potatoes, and a pile of pickled radishes.

Pure whole grains!

And they are all pure natural and pollution-free food.

Tian Hao ate with gusto and actually finished all the food.

"Are you full? Do you want to cook some more red potatoes and take them with you?" Wang Xiuying asked.

"No need. If you eat too much, you will feel sleepy while working."

Tian Hao smiled, picked up the basket and left.

This time when he went to the mountains, in addition to muntjac, he also wanted to get some wild bamboo shoots, wild vegetables, mushrooms and other mountain delicacies to sell in the county town.

After all, it was more than 40 miles one way from Tianba Village to the county seat. If there was a car on the way, it would be fine. If there was no car, he would have to walk for several hours to get there, and it would probably be late at night when he got back.

With such a long distance, wouldn't it be too worthwhile if we don't sell a few more things?

When they arrived in the mountains, Tian Hao went straight to Gongbei Ridge.

The road was cut yesterday, so walking went smoothly.

It took three hours to travel yesterday, but it took one hour today.

"Ji oh, ji oh..."

Before reaching the place where the trap was set, Tian Hao was overjoyed when he heard the screams of a muntjac.

However, just when he was about to get closer, he suddenly stopped again.

There was actually an animal circling the trap next to the muntjac. Looking at its size like a big hunting dog and its growling sound, Tian Hao's scalp instantly went numb.

Wolf? !

There are actually wolves in this mountain? !

Tian Hao turned around and wanted to run away. He only had a basket, a woodcutter and a small hoe in his hands. How could he dare to snatch food from the wolf's mouth?
Besides, wolves are generally social animals.

Although I only see one wolf now, what if there are other wolves hidden around?
Once caught in the siege of wolves, even though Tian Hao is a reborn person, there is only one way to die in the depths of this desolate mountain.

However, just when he was about to leave quietly, something happened suddenly in front of him that made him laugh and cry.

The wolf seemed to be too hungry. Although he walked around the trap several times, he couldn't help but bite the muntjac in the end. The first thing he bit was not the muntjac's body, but the muntjac that was stuck in the trap. live neck.

It seemed to want to bite the deer to death first, or to drag the deer out of the trap before eating it, but what it didn't know was that Tian Hao had set up a series of traps.

The muntjac was not dragged out. Instead, it triggered the second trap and was also trapped.

"Ow ooh..."

The wild wolf suddenly let out a shrill scream.
