Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 41 Wild Boar Tooth Necklace

Weaving a small object from bamboo cannot be completed in a short time.For example, when you go through the process of boiling bamboo shoots and air drying, you must wait patiently.

Cheng He couldn't help anyway, so he didn't stay long. When he was cutting bamboo, he found a bamboo of similar thickness and thickness. He felt that it could be used as a fishing rod, and his addiction to fishing was immediately aroused.

I haven't fished for a long time, and I feel a little itch for a while.

Of course he still remembers his own affairs, and he will go to the deep mountains tomorrow to find some expensive things for Mr. Hu's friends, saying they are for birthday gifts.So this afternoon is relatively free.

At present, his short-term plan for himself is to collect some medicinal materials to make money, and then focus on bamboo weaving.If this matter is done well, it will be beneficial to the whole village.

In life, when you can do something, do it as much as possible.

In addition, after returning from fishing, it is almost time to read the news on the forum again.He knew that he was a rookie who had just entered the forum, and there might not be many people who would pay attention to him, so he didn't have much hope.

It was an accident to pick up the boxwood. Of course it would be best if it could be sold for money. Don't worry if it can't be sold for the time being.Anyway, I will go to the Yunxiao Mountains tomorrow, and there will be all kinds of treasures in it.

There is another one, when the money is almost saved, the dilapidated house will be reorganized.It's rainy in summer, so it's not good to keep it in such dilapidated condition.

These things don't happen in a day, you have to take your time, don't worry.

So right now, he has nothing to worry about, so he can go fishing with peace of mind.

Cheng He cut a bamboo branch with a machete, then bought some nylon thread and a small hook from Cheng Shi's house, and the simplest fishing rod was ready.

After calling Cheng Xinxin, the big yellow dog automatically followed and set off.

In Cheng He's view, fishing is a very relaxing and comfortable thing. What matters is physical and mental comfort, not how much fishing rod you spend.

I once made an appointment with someone to go fishing for shrimp in a big city, and I almost laughed at him when I followed him: Can such a place be called fishing for shrimp?

An indoor cement pool the size of a basketball court is filled with water. Around the pool, fishermen sit in dense crowds, with stools next to stools, each with a fishing rod, and they don’t know what fishing means.

For this, you have to charge tens of dollars for an hour.

How can there be a peach blossom village?The green mountains and green waters, the gentle breeze, the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers make you feel relaxed and happy.

Cheng He felt that no matter whether he could catch fish or not, it would be good to sit in such an environment for a day.As for what kind of fishing rod to use for fishing, there is really no need to worry about it.

In fact, fishing is an activity that, according to science, is very beneficial to the body and mind.It can benefit people's self-cultivation, healing and prolonging their lives, and it can also add infinite fun to life and abandon the troubles in their hearts. It is simply a gift of nature.

Among other things, it is very good for the lungs to go to the mountains and take a few breaths of fresh air.

When it comes to the joy of fishing, it mostly lies in the heavy sense of joy and accomplishment in the hands after a long, painful and boring wait.

Or perhaps, what fishing cares most about is the state of mind.

In the imagination of many people, the blue sky and white clouds, a stick in the hand, the breeze blows gently, the fish flutters, and a small fish follows with a slight movement of the hand.

The weather is sunny and sunny, with three or five friends and family, looking for a small river in the suburbs, setting up a barbecue stall, spreading a large tablecloth on the grass, it is simply one of the pleasures in life.

People who often fish will feel that they are methodical, not blind, and not in a hurry. Nowadays, young people like to dance, sing K, etc. Sometimes it is not as leisurely and relaxing as drinking tea while fishing!

Of course, today Cheng He only has to go fishing and amusing the children, so let's skip drinking tea.

Everyone's income is different, anyway, enjoy it.

Cheng He was carrying a bamboo fishing rod, leading the way in high spirits, followed by Cheng Xinxin and Napoleon.

Cheng He was very interested, and said to Cheng Xinxin without looking back, "Baby, Dad will read the first verse to you, it's about ancient people fishing..."

"Egrets fly in front of Mount Xisai,

Peach blossom running water mandarin fish fertilizer.

Green Ruo Li,
Green clothes,
The slanting wind and drizzle do not need to return..."

The artistic conception of the ancients is really beautiful!The fisherman is not only fishing for mountains and rivers?There is no need to return in the slanting wind and drizzle, look at that mentality!
Cheng He smacked his lips, the mandarin fish in the peach blossom flowing water is fat, the poet really has the foresight, how did he know that the mandarin fish in the running water of our peach blossom village is particularly fat?
Well, mandarin fish is the menu for tonight!

Cheng Xinxin followed behind, chasing bees and butterflies for a while, but she didn't listen to the content of the words in her heart.But it doesn't matter, she can hear that Dad is in a very good mood at this time.

Some children are always trembling in front of their fathers, because those fathers always want to show their majesty and be unsmiling in front of their children.But Cheng He couldn't, so Cheng Xinxin had never been so afraid.

I just walked to a small pool not far outside the village, and a series of voices came from behind: "Heizi, Heizi..."

Cheng He stopped and looked back. It was the pig butcher in the village, Cheng Sanjin.He is in charge of butchering pigs in the village, and he was in charge of the wild boar banquet the day before yesterday.

Cheng Sanjin was over 40 years old, but he was of the same generation as Cheng He, so Cheng He asked, "Third brother, are you here to fish too?"

"No, what kind of fish am I fishing for? I just went to your house and the door was closed. Cheng Shi said that you came to fish, so I found this place." Cheng Sanjin said.

Then he took out a small cloth bag with a red envelope from his pocket, handed it to Cheng He, and said, "Here's this for you, play with it."

Cheng He was very puzzled, he was embarrassed to accept the gift from others, and was about to decline, but Cheng Sanjin said: "Don't rush to refuse, it's not something valuable, as long as you don't dislike it. It's for children to play with. "

Only then did Cheng He take it, and when he opened it, it was a necklace worn with a red thread, and the pendant was very delicate, in the shape of two pointed whistles.

Looking at this thing, he always felt a little familiar. He thought about it hard, and asked uncertainly, "Is this... the wild boar's tusk?"

It's four or five centimeters long, milky white, with a little hook, and it's carved with some fine patterns and holes. It's a simple whistle, the kind that can really blow.

Cheng He said in surprise: "Third brother, do you still have this skill?"

Ivory carving, just listening to it, makes me feel tall.

The most representative ivory carvings are invaluable, and even once brought genocide to the elephant herd.As you can imagine, what a crazy pursuit tooth carving is.

Even if it's just wild boar teeth in front of him, it really makes Cheng He feel incredible that it came from the hands of a pig butcher.

In addition to the two long tusks, this necklace pendant also has three molars on each side.Of course, it was also polished and engraved with some small patterns, which is very beautiful.

It can be said that this pendant is made with great care.

Cheng He felt that it was a bit expensive, so he was embarrassed to accept it.

Cheng Sanjin said: "Heizi, what's the matter! It's my brother who wants to thank you!"

The day before yesterday, everyone went to the mountain together, and Cheng Sanjin's father also went, and brought back more than three kilograms of gastrodia elata, and the family was overjoyed.Such gains do not come every day.

And there is another whole pig feast, the whole family went there from old to young, and they ate very happily.

As a pig butcher, Cheng Sanjin has no other skills, but he still has the ability to "kill a pig". He didn't waste a whole wild boar, and even kept the pig hair.

Such long fangs may not be encountered again in the future, so of course they will be kept as a treasure.

Some people believe that using the teeth and bones of wild animals to make pendants or bracelets can drive away evil and avoid disasters.

In addition, wearing animal tooth ornaments is also a symbol of the status of a warrior.People wear their trophies and are respected by others.

Although it is different now than in ancient times, the wild boar was killed by Cheng He, and he is worthy of the title "Warrior".

Cheng Sanjin boiled the teeth to disinfect them, polished them, and carved them into a whistle necklace pendant to express his gratitude and respect to Cheng He.

　Thank you friends for your votes, thank you very much!Thank you for your support!I wish you all a happy new year!Happy family!
