Return to 1983: Starting from hunting in the mountains

Chapter 20 Ashes at the bottom of the pot

Bai Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief. It was indeed similar to what Lu Jiansheng said. It should have been scraped by a branch. Although there were long blood marks, fortunately the injury was not deep, but there was a risk of inflammation if not treated in time.

"Jiansheng, wait for me here!"

After Bai Ruoxi and Lu Jiansheng finished talking, they hurried to the kitchen.

Lu Jiansheng didn't know what Bai Ruoxi wanted to do.
  But after a while, Bai Ruoxi came in front of him, but when he saw Bai Ruoxi, he couldn't help but want to laugh. When Bai Ruoxi came back, her originally fair face was stained with black dust, like a little cat.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

Bai Ruoxi asked doubtfully.

"Ahem~ No, no, what are you doing in the kitchen?"

Lu Jiansheng smiled.

"I'm going to get some pot ashes."

"Bragging~"

Lu Jiansheng then saw the black ash in Bai Ruoxi's slender hand, and his heart warmed. Only then did she realize that Bai Ruoxi was doing it for him, so she made her face look like a kitten.

And when doing business, most of the villagers are poor and don’t have the conditions. It only takes a day to go to the county town and back, and to go to other places. I’m sorry, in this day and age, you need a letter of introduction to take a car or stay in a hotel, not to mention that Lu Jiansheng wants to spend more time with their mother and daughter. .

''Um. "

Although hunting is risky, the rewards are great, especially now that there is little information and the county is far away. Many people have not been to the county a few times and do not know that there is a purchasing station in the county.

Bai Ruoxi retorted.

Bai Ruoxi nodded in a low voice, why didn't she know?
  Of her own flesh and blood, no one wants her children to be given away more than she does, but she also doesn’t want anything to happen to Lu Jiansheng.
  Sometimes people have no choice,
  She looked at Lu Jiansheng, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her black and white eyes!
  Lu Jiansheng felt that the atmosphere was a bit dull.

You must know that the production team was disbanded just a few years ago. In the past, food was distributed uniformly, and trading was not allowed.
  Although the production team has been disbanded and policies have been relaxed, many businesses are still speculative and can fall into trouble accidentally.

"Okay, you put on your clothes quickly so you don't catch a cold."

Lu Jiansheng put on his clothes and tried to move his body. The pain was reduced a lot, and he immediately turned to Bai Ruoxi and said.

Bai Ruoxi instructed.

Lu Jiansheng interrupted Bai Ruoxi. He knew what Bai Ruoxi wanted to say, but in the remote village of Liuligouzi, there was no better choice but to go hunting in the mountains.

"And I don't want to give our child to anyone else!"

He knew Bai Ruoxi's temper and couldn't help joking: "Ruoxi, you don't have to worry about me. What you should worry about is the wild boar. You don't know, if it hadn't been dark, maybe you three would be able to eat the wild boar tomorrow." It’s pork.”

The ash on the bottom of the pot is a native method in rural areas, specifically used to stop bleeding. You must know that a lot of wood burned in rural areas has medicinal properties. The ash on the bottom of the pot is the slow accumulation of firewood smoke, so there is another ash on the bottom of the pot. Special Chinese medicine name - Baicaoshuang.

"This is what I should do."

Of course, the main reason was that Lu Jiansheng's injury was very minor, and there was no money at home to buy any hemostatic medicine, so Bai Ruoxi hurriedly scraped the ash from the bottom of the pot, so that there was a lot of it on her face, black and white.

"Let me just say it's a minor injury. In fact, it'll be fine if you just sleep. You don't need to bother me."

Bai Ruoxi said slowly, and then she looked at Lu Jiansheng's wounds, her expression a little downcast: "If you encounter a wild boar this time, you will be lucky if you come back alive. Jiansheng's hunting is too dangerous, and Tangtang Xixi is very worried about you. still……."

"Ruoxi, I'm not afraid of anything for you mother and daughter."

Then she quickly picked up the wrung-out towel, cleaned up the blood stains around Lu Jiansheng's back, and then sprinkled a layer of pot ash on it. It was basically done.

She doesn’t believe it! It's not like she didn't know how ferocious the wild boar was. The old hunter from Backing Village died at the hands of a wild boar. He was so miserable that the news spread in several nearby villages.

"I'm not bragging, your man is awesome! A mere wild boar is nothing! It's not like you don't know how powerful your man is."

"I've never seen you hunting wild boars, how do I know?"    "Hehe~"

Only then did Bai Ruoxi react, and her face turned red instantly.

"You rest here for a while. It's so late and you haven't eaten yet. I'll go and heat up your meal first. You can't take a shower today to avoid infection and inflammation."

Bai Ruoxi didn't expect when Lu Jiansheng became so unruly.

Looking at Bai Ruoxi who was trying to escape, Lu Jiansheng couldn't help but smile and immediately shouted:

"Wait a moment."

"what happened?"

Bai Ruoxi asked puzzledly.

"There's something on your face."

"Didn't you just say you didn't have one?"

"Cough cough~"

Lu Jiansheng came to Bai Ruoxi and gently wiped her cheek with a towel before Bai Ruoxi could dodge.

"Okay? I'm going to heat up the food." Bai Ruoxi said coquettishly. She didn't know what was going on with her.

"Okay, okay!" Lu Jiansheng was overjoyed.

Bai Ruoxi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurried to the kitchen.

Lu Jiansheng looked at Bai Ruoxi's back as he fled in a hurry. He couldn't help but smile. The distance between him and Bai Ruoxi was getting closer and closer. The two of them had never had the opportunity to communicate like this before, and they never noticed that Bai Ruoxi spoke so delicately.

After a while, Bai Ruoxi came back with hot food.

Then some nuts were served,
  Lu Jiansheng was hunting chipmunks these days and dug a lot of chipmunk holes.

I still have two to three kilograms of nuts at home.

"You go to bed first! I will go to bed after eating."

Looking at Bai Ruoxi who was yawning, Lu Jiansheng reminded.

"Ah."

Bai Ruoxi nodded.

After eating the rice cooked by Bai Ruoxi, Lu Jiansheng marinated the chipmunk meat in the sack and hung it on the beam.

Lu Jiansheng just lay in bed, but the life-and-death battle with the wild boar and getting lost in the mountains made him fall asleep in a short time.

Late night
  Lu Jiansheng, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt that there seemed to be hands pulling on his quilt in the darkness.

He was still in a dazed state at this time. The quilt was pressed against him. His hands stopped for a while and then pulled it over. Wasn't he sleeping alone? Who would pull his quilt?

Except it's haunted,
  But Lu Jiansheng is not a superstitious person.

I opened my eyes drowsily and saw no one around me, but there was a sound from under the bed.
  ……

Lu Jiansheng saw that it didn't matter. He saw Xixi and Tangtang tugging at his bed.
  The reason why I didn't see him just now was entirely because Xixi and Tangtang were squatting just now, and his wooden bed was much higher than the earthen kang where the three of them slept.

The two little guys also brought a small stool from the main room. Needless to say, Lu Jiansheng also knew that Tangtang and Xixi obviously wanted to use the wooden stool to climb into his bed.
