Pick up a daughter-in-law to farm

Chapter 529 Surprise and joy go hand in hand
After finishing speaking, Chen Erlang rushed to the entrance of the cave and poked his head out to look out.

Zhuang Daniu is an old hunter, today they arrived in this deep mountain, he firstly found this cave which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

For safety, they went down and killed a lot of relatively small animals such as hares, wild goats, and squirrels. Because it suddenly snowed, they entered the cave early.

At this time, Chen Erlang's face was solemn, Zhuang Daniu immediately put down the cake in his hand, and the bow and arrow were already in his hand: "What's the situation?"

There are many prey in the deep mountains, but there are also many dangers.

They went hunting in the deep mountains in order to earn some money for the new year, but they didn't think about provoking those overly dangerous animals.

Chen Erlang turned around from the entrance of the cave and said softly: "Here comes a good thing. It should be a male deer that is not young. I see that there are quite a lot of antlers on its head."

When they heard that it was a male deer, everyone immediately became excited. The whole body of a deer is full of treasures. The antler and blood of the deer are very nourishing. With that, I can make a small fortune.

Both Zhuang Daniu and Zhang Dahu lay quietly at the entrance of the cave, and sure enough, on the snow not far outside the cave, an adult male deer was looking for young leaves under the tree.

Chen Erlang estimated the distance: "It's a bit far away, if it's a little closer, it can shoot directly into the eyes, and it won't damage the skin."

Zhuang Daniu squinted his eyes and made a telescope gesture with his hands, and said softly, "I'll come!"

This male deer is very big, if it is not a hundred catties, it weighs seventy or eighty catties. It would be a pity if the shot disturbed it!
Suddenly Chen Erlang hesitated: "Daniu, are you really sure?"

Zhuang Daniu smiled and didn't speak, but kept estimating the distance between the prey and him.

Ever since he was underestimated by Huo Shangling, with the encouragement of Sang Yue, Zhuang Daniu had the attitude of being hardworking and able to pass the Tsinghua University and Peking University.

After the posture was corrected, Zhuang Daniu spent even more effort on accuracy.

Finally, under the prompt of Sang Yue, he made a round hole on the bow body, and according to what his wife said, the two points and one line preparation were greatly improved.

At this moment, Zhuang Daniu learned and used the geometrical principles, first estimated the distance of the prey with his hands, and then he drew his bow and set his arrows—with a sound of "swoosh" and a sound of "bang", the buck was hit in the head by an arrow, and fell down. on the ground...

Zhang Dahu was very excited when he saw it: "I got it! Daniel, I got it! You are too good!"

Mu Si hugged Zhuang Daniu even more: "Brother Big Niu, you are really a good archer!"

Chen Erlang also expressed admiration: "Daniu, have you ever been a famous teacher? Your posture and archery are comparable to a great general!"

Zhuang Daniu, who was praised by others, did not forget Huo Shangling's reminder. He laughed when he heard the words: "I have been hunting in the mountains since I was eight years old. At that time, my father taught me how to shoot archery. Later, I met an old hunter in the mountains. , because he has the same temperament as him, he taught me a lot in archery."

Zhang Dahu knew the master he was talking about: "Daniu, your master lived with you for a while ago, we haven't seen him these days? Has he returned to his home?"

Zhuang Daniu actually didn't know where Huo Shangling had gone, and the old hunter in the mountains he mentioned didn't mean him, since Zhang Dahu brought them together, it saved him the trouble of explaining.So he explained: "My master is used to being free. He didn't say anything when he left. I think he should have gone home."

After beating a valuable stag, the stag's blood could not be taken away, so after dragging it into the cave, Zhang Dahu gave the stag a knife, and immediately put a crock of stag's blood, and several people drank it in turn.

"Well, this deer blood is really a good thing, I feel much warmer on my body."

Zhuang Daniu smiled: "Put the deer blood in the bag to freeze outside the cave. It will be melted at home when you go down the mountain tomorrow. Give your parents a drink. This will nourish your body."

The buck weighed about seventy catties, and the four people drank the blood it released, and there were two bags of water, which they planned to take home for their families to drink.

I was in a good mood and slept comfortably, and I had nothing to say all night.

But a few people woke up early the next day and saw: dumbfounded!
I don't know when it started last night, the snow in the mountains actually fell two feet thick!

"How to do?"

Chen Erlang was more cautious after the incident: "Then I have to go down the mountain early. Fortunately, I caught a deer yesterday, otherwise this time the mountain will be in vain."

It's not easy to go into the mountains, and it takes more than two hours to get there on the road alone, and you have to be big men like them.

Although he was unwilling, Zhuang Daniu knew that this was the only way to go, and he promised his daughter-in-law to enter the mountain for only two days.

It's just that with such heavy snow, they might not be able to get home for a day.

The four of them packed up their things and left the cave, but when they looked outside the cave, their mood was even worse: the road was buried flat by snow...

Don't talk about the mountain, just talk about home.

In the afternoon of the next day, heavy snow fell in the village.

Zhuang Dahua and Li Guihua walked in and out of the door, looking at the cotton snow falling from the sky, their faces were wrinkled together.

Sang Yue really wanted to say: I'm not worried, I'm not worried, anyway, he's just a partner, he's a big villain, so it's not worth her worrying...

But Sangyue found that it was useless to deceive others with those words, let alone deceive herself.

Mrs. Zhang came several times, her shoes were all wet, and she didn't let go of her brows for a moment.

Looking at the heavy snow, Sang Yue remained silent.

But I estimated in my heart that this place should be in the southwest direction in the previous life.

Because she heard that in previous years, it never snowed so early and it didn't snow so much, so the snow is not as dry as in the north, but wet sleet.

Unable to sit still, Sang Yue stood up and looked for something to do.

She found a hoe and pulled out the charcoal burned yesterday. After carefully identifying the purity of the charcoal, she felt a little happy and dissatisfied.

Compared with the charcoal that was burnt out yesterday, the quality has obviously improved, but Sang Yue still found that incomplete combustion was its fatal flaw.

Fortunately, after the second burning, it was much stronger than the charcoal shoveled from the stove, so in order to distract herself, Sang Yue buried a few more fires at the door.

"Sister-in-law, don't do it in the snow, you will freeze your hands after a while."

Seeing Da Hua's worried face, Sang Yue scratched her face with the back of her hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm sweating all over this meeting, how can I be cold? You go in, I'm going to finish this meeting soon."

Zhuang Dahua knew that her sister-in-law and her elder brother had the same temperament, and they both believed in the same thing, and even eight cows could not be pulled back.

"let me help you."

This is an affirmative tone, and Sang Yue does not refuse.

After the two of them had been busy for nearly half an hour, thick smoke rose from the five fires with different firewood, different mud, and different fire outlets...
