Madam, go home and farm

Chapter 44
After eating and resting for half an hour, Puhuang went into the mountain again, the hatchet and so on were still in the valley, and there was no more firewood, so I had to pick some back.

When I came back from carrying wild boars in the morning, I shed a lot of blood along the way, either falling on the ground or staining the leaves of weeds and shrubs. I saw many flies and insects flying around. Fortunately, the sun was strong and the blood was dried.

The closer to the valley, the more careful Puhuang was. I don't know what kind of animal was fighting with the wild boar. It would be bad if he stayed here.After entering the valley with mental power and turning around twice, she found nothing abnormal, and the same was true around the mouth of the valley, so she was a little relieved.

He picked up water and poured it on the ground. Puhuang checked the fish in the lake. There were not many fish in the lake. Then he looked at the two huge longan trees. There were strings of longan hanging on them. Because the temperature in the valley was not high enough, they were too mature. It is relatively slow, it is estimated that it will be half a month later than the outside world, and it will be another sum of money by then.

Pu Huang was calculating in her heart, even if it costs two or three Wen a catty, she can sell it for one or two taels after picking it all up. This is just her estimate, but it is too conspicuous, maybe it would be better to dry it. ?

Thinking wildly in his heart, Puhuang planned to catch a few fish in his heart, and then he went out of the valley and walked to the other side. The mountains here are rolling and rolling, with different slopes. They are all steep slopes, covered with thorny shrubs, and occasionally a few strange-shaped pine trees.

Walking aimlessly, checking the animal traces on the ground from time to time, I found that many plants were arched from the ground, messy and irregular, and seemed to be the fruit of wild boars. After walking for a while, she let her Hearing the cry of sheep, he looked carefully, but it was on another hillside.

Puhuang was overjoyed, and was about to move forward, but the flock of sheep ran away like flying, which made her depressed. She turned around and found nothing except a snake slough that was more than one meter long. For larger animals, I was a little disappointed.

Thinking about it, Pu Huang found a few wild rabbit holes and a few pheasant nests based on the experience he had gained in these days. The fish, counted the number, confirmed that it was correct, and then went back.

The weather is hot, and there are no mushrooms to pick, even the fungus is rarely seen, and she doesn't know many wild fruits, and the wild vegetables are not as good as those on the ridge by the river. The monotony of eating is also a problem!Because of the turmoil caused by wild boars in the morning, Puhuang hid the hares and pheasants as usual, tied two one-meter-high ferns, put them on his shoulders, passed the stone mountain, and went up the path to the village.

This summer, the days are long and the nights are short, and the weather is hot, so the time to go to the fields in the afternoon is later. When Puhuang returns, many people are still busy in the fields.Now no one in the village is surprised that Puhuang enters and exits from the path that no one walks. It can hunt wild boars and bring them back unscathed. Compared with Liu Orion, it is no different.

But because Puhuang is a woman and bought, there are always some people who like to gossip behind their backs. In short, those who like Puhuang's style of behavior like it very much, and those who hate it also hate it.

When passing by the door of Hong's house, Puhuang glanced at the gate, and saw Hong Xiaomei sitting in the front hall embroidering handkerchiefs. Seeing Puhuang passing by, her eyes were very bright. Just put it aside.

Pu Huang raised her eyebrows slightly, she could already smell the smell of the stewed pig's knuckles, there was twenty Wen she gave here, it's June, the gift was in August, the meat part was deducted, Including the Double Ninth Winter Solstice until the Chinese New Year.

When I got home, Puhuang's bunch of wild things tied into rice dumplings were brought into the house, and I saw Hong Haoan bending over hard, holding a bamboo tube and blowing into the stove, coughing twice from time to time due to the thick smoke .

"Miss, you're back. I'm boiling water. It will boil soon. It's just for washing hair and bathing." Hong Haoan raised his head and smiled at Puhuang, but his face covered with black ash looked like Xiaohua's. Like a cat, Pu Huang couldn't help covering his mouth and smiling, from the kitchen door to the afternoon, he was going to share the things he brought back without depriving him of the work in his hands.

The snake slough was a bit damp to the touch. Before the sun went down, I put it on the roof and pressed it with two branches. The two snake gallbladders put in at noon were deflated and looked dark and ugly, sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Every family has two fish, one pheasant and one hare. Xu's side has already prepared it. Hong Erye wanted to give a hare at first, but after Wu's trouble, Puhuang didn't bother to give it away, so he kept it for himself. eat.

This time, Puhuang didn't intend to send it there by herself. Hong Hao'an had wheelchairs on the left and right. The road in the village was not good, but there were no big rocks on the road. She sent the pheasant and hare to Xu's, and called Huzi over to let He followed Hong Haoan over there.

For Puhuang's decision, Hong Hao'an was very surprised, and his heart fluctuated a lot. Originally, he prepared Puhuang or the two of them sent these things together, but now, it's the other way around. He can more or less understand her intentions. Can guess a little.

No matter whether his legs are good or bad, he is still the head of the family, and he can't leave all the human relations in the village to Puhuang. Hong Haoan is not really that useless.

Hong Haoan looked at Puhuang with a complicated expression, took the sack she prepared and put it on his lap, "Lady, I'll go first."

"Well, be careful on the road." Puhuang nodded, and instructed that the two large vats have not been washed and are going to be used as water vats, and the large wooden barrel is used as a bathtub. This kind of personal thing is still for oneself. better.

Seeing Hong Hao'an driving the wheelchair on the uneven road with both hands, Huzi ran and jumped around, helping push a few from time to time, as long as he didn't reject going out, she was thinking about how to persuade him, it seems that she was going to Those rhetoric are useless.

Taking advantage of the time when Hong Haoan left, Puhuang got busy, washing and scrubbing the tub, planning to take a bath before Hong Haoan came back, and then boil a bucket of hot water for him to soak. Before that, he just wiped it , I'm afraid it will be uncomfortable.

It is said that Hong Haoan crossed the bridge by himself in his wheelchair. On the road, he met many unfamiliar but somewhat familiar people, and even more strangers. Most of them looked at him with curious eyes. Those who were friendly would appreciate him more. Hello, but more of a whisper.

Hong Haoan lowered his head slightly. Originally, he was well known in the village, but after Puhuang came, he was mentioned much more frequently, and the content was not very pleasant.

"Uncle An, why is everyone looking at you like this, with strange eyes?" Huzi asked, shaking his head, a little confused.

"Because Uncle An is in a wheelchair!" Hong Haoan said with a smile.

"Wheelchairs are very good, you don't have to walk, but why are they so strange?" Huzi still didn't understand, but the child's attention shifted quickly, and when he saw a relatively beautiful small stone on the roadside, he immediately picked it up. Hold it in the palm of your hand, "Uncle An, do you know how to pick up stones?"

"Yes, Uncle An still knows how to play a lot of games?" Hong Haoan straightened the sack on his leg. It was not small in size and heavy in weight. Huzi smiled, and couldn't help but hear the games he played when he was a child.

"Really, can you teach me, and then we can play together?" Huzi asked shyly, pushing the back of the wheelchair with both hands, his eyes sparkling.

The two were talking and chatting. After a while, Hong Haoan stopped in front of the gate of a clan elder, shouted a few times, handed over the prepared things, and talked a few words before continuing. Go forward.

Hong Hao'an went to Lizheng's house after sending over the copies of the elders who came from the branch family.

Seeing that it was Hong Haoan who came over, Mrs. Cui was taken aback. She dragged him and said a lot of things, nothing more than being too polite and out of touch, and speaking when she had difficulties.

The last time I went to Uncle Hong’s house, seeing that Hong Hao’an came to deliver things in person, Mrs. Guan was also taken aback. She took the sack off his lap and asked worriedly, “Why are you here? It’s your wife who hurt you.” Where have you been?" The story of Puhuang hunting wild boars has been spread throughout the village this morning, and she didn't see it when she entered the city later, that silly girl, she shouldn't be hurt so why bear with it?
"My lady is fine, but she has been busy all day, so I can help with something." Hong Haoan shook his head and said with a light smile.

"That's good. Tell her when you go back. If you encounter such wild animals in the future, don't be brave. If you get hurt, it won't be worth the loss." Guan confessed, "By the way, just wait." As he spoke, he entered the house with those things, and then came out again. In addition to the sack, he also had two large lotus leaf bags in his hand.

"These are steamed buns, you take them and eat them, and I put a lot of freshly picked corn in the bag, take them to taste, and come back when they are gone." Because of Hong Haoan's situation, she didn't take more. He couldn't walk.

"Auntie, there's no need, at home..." Hong Haoan waved his hand and was about to refuse, but was interrupted by Guan Shi.

"You just separated, and there are many places that need money. These are all grown by ourselves, and they are not worth much money." Guan said involuntarily, stuffing the things into Hong Hao'an's arms, "Can you take them easily? Why don't I ask Xiu'er to take it?"

"Auntie, I can do it. It's late, so don't let Xiu'er come out." Hong Hao'an followed suit, he was not so stubborn, he thought it was a charity.

"Also, a few days ago, Xiaozheng wrote a letter, saying that there are some matters to be dealt with, and he may not arrive until Mid-Autumn Festival. He even asked about your business. When he comes back, you can get together and talk."

"I see, then I'll go back first." Hong Hao'an slightly bent his body, and bid farewell to Mrs. Guan.

The steamed buns were still hot, warm in his arms, and the smell was a bit craving. Seeing Huzi swallowing his saliva, Hong Haoan couldn't help smiling, and opened the lotus leaf bag, "Huzi, just eat it."

After all, I was young, so I couldn't resist the temptation to eat, so I grabbed one and ate it, "Thank you Uncle An, it smells so good!"

Hong Haoan smiled, wrapped it up, waited for the tiger to finish eating, and then climbed up the stone bridge with his help.
