353 Brother's Harvest

The next day was rainy and cool, and it entered November in a blink of an eye.

The third younger brother, who learned archery from Tao Datie, was already able to hit the bull's-eye from a hundred paces away.It is a great compliment, because it is the slack season, which is a good season for hunting, so I took my third brother to practice in the woods several times.

On this day, Zisu saw the clear sky shining brightly, so she said to her third brother, "Let's go into the mountains today."

"Okay."

The third brother has long wanted to show himself in front of Zisu. He went to the woods with Tao Datie before and saw pheasants, rabbits, deer and muntjacs. Rabbit, you should still have some confidence.But because he followed Tao to fight the iron, he was afraid that he might miss, so he didn't dare to let go. If he went with his sister, it would be different.

The two cleaned up, Zisu carried the bamboo basket, and the third brother took the bow and arrows. The two siblings walked towards the mountain. Although there were pheasants and rabbits in the nearby mountain, there were not many of them. With the confidence of her younger brother, Zisu decided to take her third brother to the deep mountain where she had picked mushrooms before.

There are high mountains and dense forests, and there are few people going there. The two of them just walked around the periphery. If they are lucky, they will be rewarded.

The siblings just reached the side of the mountain, and the third brother signaled Zisu not to make a sound. Zisu looked at the third brother suspiciously, but saw the third brother lying on the ground, looked carefully, and then said to Zisu: " There are footprints."

"Footprints?" Zisu also squatted down to check, and sure enough, because of the autumn rain a few days ago, the mud on the ground was still not dry enough to reflect a string of moderately large footprints. "Can you see what footprints it is?"

The third brother raised his head, as if two clusters of fire were burning in his pitch-black pupils, he said in a trembling voice, "Wild boar, it's the footprints of a wild boar."

"Wild boar!" Zisu raised her voice involuntarily. In her memory, wild boars are ferocious, capable of biting and kicking.After thinking about it, he said softly, "Are you sure?"

The third brother hesitated for a moment, but quickly gritted his teeth and said, "Try it, how will you know if you don't try?"

Zisu wanted to say, forget it, but when she saw the determination on the third brother's face, she nodded and said, "Okay, then let's try."

After saying that, he took out the hatchet from his back basket, and said to his third brother, "I'll go ahead, you follow me."

"I'm in front, you follow me." The third brother raised the bow and arrow in his hand, and said softly: "I have it, don't be afraid."

"But……"

The third brother walked in front of Zisu involuntarily, the two of them did not dare to make a loud noise, they walked forward quietly holding their voices, and after a few steps, the third brother stopped to look at the footprints on the ground.

After walking for about three miles, when Zisu looked up again, she saw the towering forest above her head, the trees in front of her and behind her could not see the side, and the sound of unknown birds rang out one after another, she couldn't help but Then he tugged on the third brother's sleeve and said softly: "I really can't find it, so forget it."

The third younger brother shook his head and said softly: "It's not far away, it's near here."

Zi Su didn't know how he came to the conclusion, thinking it must be taught by Uncle Shi Tie, so she didn't make a sound, just prayed, don't be a big wild boar.

"I found it." The third brother suddenly pointed to a bush and said to Zisu, "That's right there."

Zisu clenched the hatchet in her hand and searched nervously in the bushes. It was too late, and it was almost there. She hadn't found the wild boar that the third brother mentioned, and the third brother had already drawn his bow and arrow. With a sound, the sharp arrow shot out through the air and shot straight towards a certain place in the bushes.

With a sound of "Hum Chi", a brown figure rushed out from the bushes, Zisu quickly picked up the hatchet in his hand and slapped down on the rushing pig's body, with a mournful "児-児" The sound sounded, and the arrow in the third brother's hand shot out again, staring straight at the pig's neck.

Zisu pulled the third brother, "Run".

Unexpectedly, the third brother shook off her hand, snatched the hatchet from her hand and chopped it off at the wobbly wild boar, "Sister..."

"Third brother!" Zisu broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly turned around and chased him back. Only this one approached, but stayed where he was. I couldn't believe that the wild boar was really hacked to death by the third brother!A big pool of bright red is flowing out along the "Huajing" of the pig's neck.

"Is this a boar?"

After seeing the wild boar on the ground clearly, Zisu asked in confusion, why does this wild boar have no fangs?Why does this wild boar look so small, it is about the same size as a domestic pig that has been raised for two or three months, except that its fur is brown.

"That's right," the third brother wiped the sweat off his face, and then poked the dead pig on the ground with the hatchet worriedly. Seeing that there was only air coming out but not in, he let out a sigh of relief.The next moment, it collapsed with an "Aww", "Second Sister, I hit a wild boar!"

Zisu looked at the third younger brother who was trembling with excitement, and said with a smile, "Yes, we can have a good meal."

It wasn't until the siblings cut a tree stick and a vine to bind the wild boar that they realized that this wild boar was a piglet, and wild boars lived in groups. Zisu remembered which science magazine she saw about it. Pass.Since this is a piglet, there might be a herd of wild boars nearby!

"Third brother, let's move quickly." Zisu didn't dare to express her worries, and only told her third brother to move quickly.

The third brother responded, quickly tied the dead wild boar to the tree stick, and sent the stick to his shoulder. Just as he was about to say, "Let's go", there was a sound of "Wow", there is a wolf!

Zisu immediately shook the stick on her shoulder, grabbed the hatchet tightly, and suddenly turned to face the big half-human-high wolf with faint green eyes facing back.

"Second Sister," the third younger brother followed Zhang Gong and put up an arrow, but it was no different than shooting a wild boar. The third younger brother's hand visibly shook because of fear.

"Don't be afraid," Zisu said as she comforted her third brother, while turning her mind quickly, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't think of anything else except knowing that wolves were afraid of fire.

The two and the wolf confronted each other, and the wolf stood where it was, looking over with a gloomy gaze.

Zisu held the hatchet tightly in her hand, and stared at the wolf without blinking, for fear that it would suddenly pounce on it.

But a strange thing happened, after the wolf confronted for a while, suddenly it raised its head to the sky and howled again, after the howling, it turned around and left.

"It's gone!" The third brother looked at the wolf in disbelief but turned his head back to look at the two of them, and said in a broken voice, "Second sister, it's gone."

Zisu nodded, raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and said to the third younger brother, "Let's hurry up too, don't wait for it to change its mind and come back."

"Hey!"

The third brother hastily put away the bow and arrows, stooped to lift the tied wild boar, stood up and left.

The siblings carried back a half-sized wild boar, which really made Tao's Village lively. All the men in the village gathered around Zisu's house, looked at the dead pig in the yard, and sighed, "This sister The two brothers are brave enough and lucky enough.

Aunt Tao was boiling water in the stove room, and the mother-in-law of Tao Datie's family and Tao Feng's stove were helping in front of and behind the stove.

"My family told me that the third brother will be promising in the future."

"Hey, it's all thanks to him playing Uncle Tie." Aunt Tao had already received Zisu's instructions, and she told Tao Feng one after another good words, "Just now Zisu said, take the pork to the town and sell it for some money to replace the three The younger brother and the fourth younger sister are in their clothes, and the pig's head is divided into two, half to honor Uncle Da Tie, and the other half to keep our mother and three to pay off, his aunt, do you think this will work?"

As soon as Tao Fengshi heard that there was half a pig's head in his family, he was already happy, and said repeatedly: "Hey, your family is in trouble, you keep it for yourself."

"Where is it!" Aunt Tao hurriedly said, "If it wasn't for the hard times and seeing that winter is coming again, even taking a big hoof to honor his uncle is the right thing to do."

"Oh, no, no need." Tao Feng said hastily, "Although Blacksmith has never hunted wild boars, he has hunted pheasants and rabbits a lot. Auntie, we appreciate your kindness."

Not long after, the hot water was ready, Tao Fengshi rolled up his sleeves and said, "His aunt, I'll help you."

The hair of the little wild boar is estimated to be only five or sixty catties.Tao Fengshi is a good hand at work, his hands and feet are crisp and neat, and with the perilla on his side, he took off the hair of a piglet in a few strokes, disemboweled it, and washed it with blood. Nothing is wasted.

Pig heart, pig liver, pig lungs, pig intestines, and pig kidneys were all arranged in a basin on the side.On this side, Tao raised the knife and "snapped" a few times, cutting a pig's head in half.

"If it's flooded with salt, I won't be afraid of running out of meat this winter." Tao Fengshi sighed.

Aunt Tao's eyes lit up when she heard the words, but Zisu shook her head almost invisible to her, and she swallowed the words when they came to her mouth.

"Aunt," Zisu took half of the pork liver and half of the pig's head and put them in a basket and handed them to Tao Fengshi, "Aunt, take them back and serve me a drink with Uncle Tie."

"Hey, no, no..." Although Tao Feng refused, his eyes were shining and he looked at the things in Zisu's hand.

Zisu then called out to the third younger brother, "Go, give this to Uncle Da Tie."

The third brother let out a hey, picked up the basket and left.

"Third brother, no need, really no need." Tao Feng followed all the way.

Zisu picked up the pig's heart and cut another piece of meat, and said to Simei, "Simei, you give this to Grandpa Xiucai's house."

Although the fourth sister was a bit reluctant, Tao Xiucai was kind to others. A few days ago, she heard Zisu talking about asking Tao Xiucai to teach her and third brother how to read.Nodding his head, he stepped forward to pick him up and went to Tao Xiucai's house.

Zisu thought about the remaining pork kidneys and lungs, and said to Aunt Tao: "We keep the pork kidneys, pig lungs and pig intestines for ourselves."

"You decide." Aunt Tao said softly, pointing to the two white rows of pork and said, "What are you going to do with these meats?"

"Take it to the town and sell it."

Aunt Tao nodded, "I'll go with you."

"Yeah," Zisu replied, and said to Aunt Tao, "Go and light the fire, we'll boil the pig's head, peel off the meat, and send some out."

"I still want to give it?" Aunt Tao asked hesitantly, "Who are you giving it to?"

Zisu looked in the direction of Tao Bashui's house.

"you……"

Aunt Tao was so angry that her face turned blue.

Zisu sighed, without explaining, and said softly, "It's the village chief's house, there must be uncle's house, uncle Houcheng's house, and uncle Youtian's house, some of these families have to be sent over." Seeing Mrs. Tao's face She looked a little better, and then she continued: "It's better to get rid of enemies than tie them up. For people like Tao Laizi, we should respect them from a distance, but we always have to pay back the favor, otherwise, how can the third brother hold his head up in the future?"

Aunt Tao was silent for a moment, she shook the things in her hand slightly, turned around and entered the stove, and continued to add fire to the stove, adding, adding, her shoulders trembled.

Zisu sighed, her eyes fell on the pot of pig intestines on the ground, it hurt her brain, this thing is not easy to clean up!
