Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 270 Missing my wife so much
Lin Heng nodded and said, "Absolutely. I said I won't kill it today because I don't want the villagers to watch. This sika deer was killed yesterday afternoon and should have been dealt with long ago."

"Then let me help you." Father Lin nodded and went to the house to find a large bamboo dustpan.

Lin Heng glanced at the sika deer and was not in a hurry to deal with this. He first took off the ten large sika fish hanging on his backpack and handed them to Xiulan: "These were caught in the river when I left today. It's up to you what to do with them." Bar."

Xiulan took the bunch of plump plum blossoms and said, "Then keep two for fresh use and make the rest into dried fish."

Lin Heng nodded and took out a lot of stones from his backpack. They were the bloodstones and crystals he found in the mountain caves. This thing was so heavy that it made him miserable.

"Dad, what is this?" Xiaoxia picked up the small bloodstone and asked curiously.

"Your bloodstone is so red!" Father Lin said in shock. He heard Lin Heng say it on the way, but he didn't expect it to be so red.

It was the first time for Xiulan and Lin's mother to see soapstone. They looked at the blood-red stone curiously, with expressions of wonder on their faces.

"This is bloodstone, don't drop it." Lin Heng said looking at a small stone Xiaoxia was holding.

"Okay~" Xiaoxia agreed crisply.

Lin Heng nodded: "Let's keep it for now. It would be nice to tan it yourself and make it into a blanket."

"It's amazing." Xiulan praised.

After saying that, he put the stones in a bamboo basket and took them to the study. The small ones were put in the bookcase, and the large ones were placed on the dark wood desk. I was thinking of making a stand to put it up later.

"Aren't you going to sell it? Do you want to keep it for yourself?" Lin's father asked curiously.

After doing this, Lin Heng put his backpack and bow bag on the stone table and said with a smile: "Okay, there are only so many guards for this time."

"That's fine." Lin's father nodded. Lin Heng now earns 3,000 yuan a year just from the purchasing station. He is indeed not short of this amount of money.

He walked over and killed the deer with his father. Mother Lin and Xiaoxia were watching. Xiulan, who was wearing white washed old clothes, went back to the house to prepare dinner.

"This thing can't be sold. You can pull it out if you want."

To kill a deer, skin it first. Use a knife to make a circle along the neck, and then slit it from the belly. Then you can pull the deer skin and press it in with your fist. The peeling speed is much faster than using a knife directly. You don't have to worry about accidentally cutting the deer skin. break.

While chatting, the deer was weighed, half weighing 92 pounds.

In almost a quarter of an hour, the father and son peeled off the deer skin. The entire deer skin weighed about ten kilograms, and there was still some fat on it that had not been scraped off.

He came out of the house and saw his mother pulling out porcupine quills. When she saw Lin Heng, she looked up and said, "It is said that this thing can cure diseases when used to comb hair. I will go back and give it a try."

Lin Heng nodded: "It's almost the same, but I'm not going to sell it."

Lin Heng smiled. Xiong Ba played an extremely important role in this. His success in hunting was all due to Xiong Ba. Otherwise, even if his arrows were accurate, it would be useless if he couldn't find traces of his prey.

In addition to these, Lin Heng also had turtles and small turtles in bags, as well as a dead rabbit. The turtle was given to Xiaoxia to play with, and the turtle was thrown into the basin. Both things were alive and kicking.

Mother Lin asked curiously: "Can this thing be sold for money?"

Lin Heng nodded: "Of course you can, it's not cheap, but I won't sell it for the time being. I'll keep it for myself."

Lin Heng replied: "I have thought about this problem a long time ago. Just keep it for yourself. Make it all into dried venison and eat it as snacks. Not many people will buy it."

To make dried velvet antler slices, further processing is required.

He took out the internal organs one by one and hung them aside. The internal organs of the deer were not particularly valuable. The more valuable ones were the deer fetus and deer whip. This was a male deer. Lin Heng took out the complete set of deer whip and hung them on the wall. .

"That's for sure. The antlers are all big. This is a big buck." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Have you finished skinning your golden cat?" Father Lin turned around and asked.

Lin Heng waved his hand. He brought this thing back just for fun. It doesn't matter whether he sells it or not.

Lin Yue nodded: "Yes, after peeling it off, the golden cat only weighs twenty-two pounds. I don't know how it tastes."

If it is sold, no one will buy it if it is too expensive. If it is cheap, he thinks it is not worthwhile, unless it is sold in the city. But he doesn't lack the money now. He has kept the deer skin, so there is no need to go through the trouble of selling the deer meat.

After saying a few words, the two men first took off the deer's head, then hung it upside down and began to disembowel it. This is no different than killing a pig.

Venison has almost no fat and is all red meat. You won’t gain weight if you eat it. The dried venison tastes better than beef.

The pair of old antlers were also placed in the cabinet. Lin Heng planned to fix them on the wall at some time and use them as decorations. If needed, they could also be taken off for traditional Chinese medicine. It could be said that it killed two birds with one stone.

The main reason is that more than a hundred yuan is just a drop in the bucket for him now. Instead of converting it into money, he might as well keep it for himself. Therefore, I didn’t plan to sell the deer antlers or anything else, I just kept them for myself.

He is in a very comfortable mood now. This time he has hunted a lot of prey and returned home. His wife is very happy. In addition, he also brought two flowers, which makes her even more obedient to him.

Xiulan took it and looked at it curiously. She had heard about the deer antler and this was the first time she had seen it in real form. She looked at it curiously.

Lin Yue nodded: "That's right, then I'll give it a try later."

Mother Lin also nodded and said: "Yes, I think some hunters may not be able to catch anything good even if they go out for half a month."

Father Lin nodded: "Okay, this deer is big enough. It was estimated to have weighed two hundred, fifty or sixty pounds when it was alive."

During the weighing, Lin Yue came in from outside and said with a smile: "I'm here to help."

"This is a good thing. It can be sold for at least one hundred, fifty or sixty." Father Lin looked at the deer skin and said with a smile. Sika deer skin is more valuable than suede skin.

"This is the velvet antler. Take it. I'll go back and cut it into slices." Lin Heng handed the velvet antler to Xiulan again. He simply burned the cut root of the velvet antler to prevent blood loss, and then shaved the hair.

Then the two men cut the sika deer in half with knives and weighed it with a steelyard.

Lin Yue looked at the venison and said, "Are you going to sell this much meat?"

"That's not bad." Father Lin nodded. The golden cat's skin can also be sold for a lot of money.

This stuff is said to tonify the kidneys, strengthen yang, replenish essence and activate blood circulation, and can also cure infertility in women due to cold uterus. Lin Heng doesn't really need this thing. He is already strong enough and can sell it depending on the situation.

The father and son chatted while cutting the meat. Lin Heng kicked all the meat off the bones and pushed a large basin.

Pork ribs and other items can be used to stew soup. All the deer tendons from the legs are picked out and stored separately. They are also very valuable Chinese medicinal materials.

In addition to eating the remaining bones, they can also be used to make bone powder for medicinal purposes, or even made into bracelets.

But Lin Heng had no interest in this and gave half of it to his parents. Let them make soup and drink it to make up for lumbar muscle strain, which is also good for the body.

There are only 126 kilograms of pure sika deer meat. Lin Heng gave his eldest brother ten kilograms plus some deer leg bones and four ribs, and gave his parents ten kilograms of venison.

His eldest brother also brought him three kilograms of golden cat meat. Since he had never eaten it, Xiulan fried some golden cat meat and venison to try it out.

The deer blood cooked on the mountain had gone bad, so it could only be boiled with some noodles and minced meat for dinner for the three dogs of Xiong Ba Lai Fu Feng Harvest.

It was already 8:40 after the deer was slaughtered, and the sun had already set. The family was sitting in the yard enjoying the cool air and chatting.

The stars are shining brightly tonight, the moon is high in the sky, and there are no mosquitoes to bother you, so it’s the best time to enjoy the cool weather.

"Food is ready!"

After a while, Mother Lin came out and shouted.

"Eat, eat!"

Lin Heng had been hungry for a long time, so he walked into the room to help get the dishes and chopsticks. He ate the food before it was even served.

But no one blamed him. Everyone sat down and started to taste the food. Xiaoxia was coquettish in Lin Heng's arms. Xiulan brought him a bowl of rice wine and said, "It's newly made in the past two days. It's very sweet. Try it." " Lin Heng couldn't help but take a big sip when he smelled the strong aroma of wine, and praised: "I haven't drank rice wine for so many days, I really miss it, it tastes good."

"This venison and muntjac meat seem to be similar." Mother Lin sighed after taking a bite of the meat.

Xiulan also took a sip and nodded: "It feels a little more delicate. There is really no big difference."

What I cooked tonight was fried venison with garlic sprouts. The texture of the venison was clear and chewy. It tasted great when eaten with garlic sprouts.

Lin Heng likes to put a large chopstick into his mouth. Venison is chewy but not chewy. The grains are finer than beef, and the taste is different.

"They all say cat meat is sour, but this wild cat meat doesn't feel sour either." Caiyun said curiously after taking a bite.

"A little bit." Lin Heng said. He also tasted the golden cat meat. It tasted pretty good, very delicate, but it had a bit of sourness.

"I think it tastes better than pork." Lin Yue said with a smile.

Father Lin took a bite and commented: "It's not bad. No wonder I saw someone killing a domestic cat and eating it."

In this era, there are many people who eat cats and dogs. Most of them are poor and have never seen meat, and there are not so many taboos.

The children at the table were all looking at the venison, and they liked this lean meat the most.

"Xiulan, did you pick up morels?"

Lin Heng took a bite of morels, turned to look at his wife and said.

Xiulan nodded: "I recently went to the mountain where I picked up fungi last year and picked up some. I also got some toon and bracken."

"Then let's pick up some fungi in a few days." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Okay." Xiulan nodded, took a piece of fish and fed it to Xiaoxia.

Everyone enjoyed this dinner very much and it was a great time. It was already ten o'clock when we finished eating. We simply cleared away the dishes and then went back.

Father and Mother Lin did not go to Hongfeng Mountain tonight and rested in the old house.

Lin Heng washed his face and brushed his teeth before lying on the soft bed. He felt so refreshed that he said with emotion: "This is much more comfortable than the mountains."

Xiulan hugged Xiaoxia and went to bed, smiled and squeezed his shoulders, tilted her head and asked, "Is it more comfortable now?"

"I'll squeeze daddy's hand too." Xiaoxia's little hands imitated her mother's way of squeezing.

Lin Heng nodded hard: "It's so comfortable."

It's wonderful to be at home, and what could be more comfortable than this, but it's a pity that my daughter isn't sleeping yet.

After squeezing for a while, Lin Heng hugged Xiaoxia and said, "Daddy, let me tell you a story before you go to bed?"

"No, I want to play games with dad." Xiaoxia shook her head. She hadn't had enough playing with Lin Heng yet.

"Be good, I'll play with you when I get up tomorrow morning. The frogs are already asleep." Lin Heng kissed her and said.

"But, dad hasn't played with me for a long time~"

Xiaoxia took the little frog, the little Rubik's Cube and the paper cuttings, all waiting for Lin Heng to play with her.

Xiulan laughed in her heart when she saw what Lin Heng wanted to do. She wanted to tease him, but when she thought that he must have been tired for a day, she felt distressed again. She took her daughter's hand and helped to talk: "Be good, daddy won't leave this time. Tomorrow It’s the same with playing.”

Xiaoxia lowered her head and felt a little unhappy.

Lin Heng picked her up and said, "Then let's play for a while."

"Okay~"

Hearing this, Xiaoxia jumped up happily.

Lin Heng picked the most difficult Rubik's Cube to play with her. As he played with it, he found that Xiaoxia was much better than before. She couldn't play with this second-level Rubik's Cube before, but now she could put it in a color. Fight together.

This shows that she has understood the rules of the Rubik's Cube and started to try it out, which is completely different from the previous messing around.

Despite playing for a while, she gave up and lay in Lin Heng's arms to let him tell a story. Lin Heng told her a fairy tale he made up to put her to sleep.

After she fell asleep, she carefully placed her on the small bed, closed the mosquito net and turned off the lights. She returned to the bed and hugged Xiulan, wanting to kiss her.

Xiulan didn't resist at all, and cooperatively handed the little mouth over.

It took a while for the two of them to separate out of breath. Although there was no light or fire in the room, the moonlight coming through the window still allowed them to see each other clearly.

Xiulan grabbed Lin Heng's big hand, looked at him with a red face and said, "Aren't you tired after running all day?"

Lin Heng chuckled: "I feel less tired after seeing you. I want to relieve my stress."

Before Xiulan could speak, he leaned into her ear and said, "Have you felt pregnant recently?"

Xiulan shook her head slightly and whispered: "My relatives came here a few days ago."

"That's just right, let's try again."

Lin Heng chuckled and pushed Xiulan down.

……

……

……

After a long time, Lin Heng lay on his back on the bed feeling comfortable, his body and mind falling into a great sense of joy.

Xiulan leaned in his arms, her body radiating heat, and she felt very satisfied.

I haven’t seen him for several days. This guy is plowing the fields like a disobedient cow.

"It's good to be home."

After cooling off for a while, Lin Heng hugged his wife and whispered. The hearty battle just now allowed him to completely release the pressure in his heart. The best thing was that he didn't need any protection.

"You know your home is good, so don't go out." Xiulan whispered.

Lin Heng turned to look at her little face and said, "Do you miss me very much these days?"

"What do you mean, you asked knowingly." Xiulan rolled her eyes at him.

"I don't know, just tell me, I want to hear it." Lin Heng said with a smile, he already knew how much Xiulan missed her just now.

"Don't tell me." Xiulan snorted softly. When she was just plowing the fields, she had answered so many embarrassing questions for him, and now that she was asking them, it was so bad.

Lin Heng hugged her and shook her: "Just tell me, I want to hear it now."

"I thought about it, I thought about it very much, are you satisfied now?"

Xiulan had no choice but to coax her child-like man, and then said softly: "Go to sleep, you're tired after a long day."

Lin Heng felt relieved after hearing this, hugged her and said, "I miss you so much too, but you miss me so much."
