Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 89 Hunting the Black Bear
This time, Liu Man'er and Ye Yuan came to this mountain again, and it was the villagers of Laoshan'ao who specially asked Ye Yuan to help deal with a blind bear.

This Xiong Xiazi is also a black bear, Liu Man'er felt that Hu Yeyuan could handle it, and Xiong Xiazi should be no problem, so the two happily went.

Some time ago, Ye Yuan put a stone lock on himself. Every morning, he would exercise in the yard. In winter, he was not afraid of the cold, so Liu Man'er felt that it is not easy to practice martial arts. Practicing the three-day period, Ye Yuan's strength and archery skills did not come overnight.

For a while, Liu Man'er's favorite thing was to lie on the bed, wrapped in a quilt, open the small window, and watch Ye Yuan exercising in the yard. He was shirtless and shirtless, looking heroic.

This strength needs to be practiced. Liu Maner felt that her strength was quite strong in the past, but since Ye Yuan came back, she has hardly done any heavy work, so her strength has decreased a lot.

She also wants to practice sometimes, but Ye Yuan's stone lock weighs a hundred catties, and it is really difficult for her to lift it, well, the most important thing is that she is lazy.

Closer to home, Liu Man'er and Ye Yuan went to hunt this black bear, mainly because many people on this mountain were injured by this kind of bear, and I don't know what happened. There are hunters on this mountain, but they failed several times. That's why the people in the village thought of Ye Yuan.

After Ye Yuan and Liu Man'er arrived at Laoshan'ao, they still lived in Old Man Li's house. The old man Li's family treated them warmly, but Ye Yuan and Liu Man'er hunted prey by themselves, and brought their own food every time they came, so they were not afraid to trouble Old Man Li. two old people.

It's almost Chinese New Year, this old man Li's son hasn't come back yet, Liu Man'er and the two of them have never seen his son since they got acquainted with this old man Li's family, but this year is a busy time, his son probably won't come back either .

Liu Man'er came this time, besides beating the blind bear in the village, she also sent two pieces of deer skins to the old man Li's family. This deer was hunted by Ye Yuan by chance last time, and he also went to the deep mountains with Liu Man'er The harvest, now Liu Man'er's family has put on comfortable moccasins.

The moccasin shoes are waterproof and soft, very comfortable to wear, Liu Man'er thought that he often came to this mountain to disturb the old man Li's family, so he also sent them two pieces of leather.

It's winter, and now Liu Man'er doesn't wear those thousand-layer-soled shoes. In addition to moccasins, she also has rabbit leather shoes. In winter, she also has clothes made of rabbit fur and furry collars. It looks nice and comfortable.

Well, this is all thanks to the industrious hunter Ye Yuan.

Every time he went to sell these small animals, Ye Yuan would peel off the skins, he would deal with the skins, and then save the skins. At first Liu Man'er didn't know what he kept them for, but now that winter is here, The hides he had saved up before would be useful.

Fang used this skin to make shoes for the family, and Liu Man'er made gloves for the family. The rabbit leather gloves are very soft, no matter what kind of work they are doing, they are not afraid of freezing their hands.

Liu Man'er also specially made half gloves for Ye Feng and Liu Fusheng, so that they could write more conveniently. Fang saw it and wondered why she had so many strange tricks.

Liu Man'er laughed, and said: "Our feet are cold, so we can wear socks and thick shoes, and our hands are cold, so of course we can also wear gloves, and it's okay to wear these gloves."

In addition to the rabbit fur gloves, she also made cotton gloves, so that she can wear different gloves when doing different things. Although the rabbit fur is soft, it is still not so flexible sometimes, but the cotton gloves are different. Skin, very flexible.

It's just that Ye Yuan, as a hunter, can't wear gloves when he goes hunting in the mountains, so Liu Man'er made him palm protectors, exposing his fingers and only covering the back of his hands. Although this is not very effective, it is still better than wearing nothing at all. Anyway, it was Liu Man'er's wish, so of course he would not refuse.

In fact, Ye Yuan is not cold at all. In winter, he is as warm as a stove. Liu Man'er must make sure he warms up the bed at night. In summer, she dislikes his body heat and hides far away. , but in winter, she couldn't help but hold him tight.

Well, Ye Yuan thinks that winter is really his happy time.

Liu Man'er used to hate winter quite a lot, but now she doesn't hate it that much anymore. When winter comes, it's nothing more than wearing two more clothes, and other things are fine.

After staying at Uncle Li's house for one night, Ye Yuan took Liu Man'er to the mountain to catch bears the next day. The hunter from the village walked in front and helped Ye Yuan and the two guide the way.

However, they can only roughly know where the blind bear appeared, but they don't know where the bear's lair is.

When the crowd stopped at the place where the blind man often haunted, Liu Man'er began to listen carefully to the blind man's location, Ye Yuan raised his hand, motioning for everyone to be quiet.

The voices of talking and arguing gradually stopped, and Ye Yuan signaled everyone not to move around. When they were all quiet, it seemed that everything was still. Liu Man'er could only hear the rustling of leaves falling. Gradually, this sound echoed in her ears. It was getting louder and louder, and she heard farther and farther away.

The sound of breathing fell into her ears. This was the sound of everyone abandoning their concentration. Gradually, the slight sound of breathing entered her eardrums. Liu Man'er motioned everyone not to move. She decided on a direction and headed there.

The voice became louder and louder, and Liu Man'er was finally sure, and said to Ye Yuan: "Sir, let's take a look here."

Ye Yuan walked forward, and the crowd also started to move. The sound of footsteps stepping on dead leaves was very chaotic, and soon overwhelmed the sound of breathing. Liu Man'er said, "Everyone wait here, back to back just in case. One, please don't move around, we will go back as soon as we go."

Leading Ye Yuan to walk forward, Liu Man'er only heard the footsteps of the two of them, however, it seemed that there was always a burst of breathing sound coming towards her ears, she stopped from time to time to determine the direction, and then chased over there. go.

After walking not far, Liu Man'er saw a big tree. She smiled and said, "The black bear should be sleeping in this tree hole."

Ye Yuan saw that the tree was intact.

Liu Man'er led him around, and indeed saw a tree hole, Ye Yuan drew his bow and shot an arrow into the dark tree hole, and a roar came out from the tree hole.

The villagers who heard the sound also looked this way one after another. When they arrived, the black bear had already come out of the tree hole. Seeing Ye Yuan and Liu Man'er, the two culprits, the black bear was even more angry. Charging towards Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan drew his bow again and shot an arrow, which hit the black bear's throat.

Poor black bear, who was sleeping well at home, suffered an unforeseen disaster, and now he is even more dead here.

Seeing that the black bear had been shot by Ye Yuan, the villagers were overjoyed. Seeing Ye Yuan, they felt as if they had seen a sharpshooter. They carried the black bear to the village. Ye Yuan was originally invited to drive it away for them. The black bears, seeing them all so happy, didn't monopolize the prey, but let the chief of the old mountain pass distribute it.

The head of the village distributed the black bear skin as an honor to Ye Yuan, and then offered to give Ye Yuan money, but Ye Yuan refused, so the head of the village asked Ye Yuan and Liu Man'er to stay for dinner.Then they carried the black bear's body to worship their ancestors, wishing good weather for the coming year.

Then let the villagers hold a banquet, as if it were a great festival.

In the afternoon, the villagers got busy. They set up tables outside the ancestral hall, and every household brought bowls. They killed chickens and cooked sheep, which was very grand.

Liu Man'er had never seen this kind of scene before. Everyone was wearing bright clothes and having dinner together. It looked extremely lively.

After the meal, the bonfire party began, and they danced together. Although Liu Man'er couldn't understand it, it was usually men who went up to show off their talents, and women who went up to show off their enchanting figures.

Liu Man'er discovered that there are many young women in this village, but they all want to rely on Ye Yuan, what's going on?Do you want to compete with yourself for your husband?This was something Liu Man'er could not tolerate, so she sat beside Ye Yuan to show everyone her sovereignty.

Whenever there are girls who shyly toast to Ye Yuan, she snatches the cup, "Come on, girl, I'll drink with you!"

In the end Liu Man'er drank a lot of wine, Ye Yuan looked at her worriedly, but she was not drunk at all.

Gradually, everyone began to pay attention to Liu Man'er, thinking that Liu Man'er was a heroine among women, no wonder he could match a young hero like Ye Yuan, those who came forward to toast with Liu Man'er were also frightened by Liu Man'er.

This girl is nice, but she is a little jealous.

The head of the village secretly evaluated Liu Man'er in his heart.

However, what Liu Man'er is most afraid of being said by others is that she is jealous, she is jealous, and it is best that no one comes over to get her hands on her things and her people.

Because the bonfire banquet was very late, Ye Yuan and Liu Man'er could only stay at Uncle Li's house at night, and the old aunt wanted to make sober soup for Liu Man'er, but Liu Man'er said there was no need to bother.

Although watching Liu Man'er jealous for him and helping him block the wine feels very good, but in fact, Ye Yuan has been worried that Liu Man'er will fall down, but Liu Man'er's spirit is very good, it seems that what she drinks is water, not water. liquor.

"Man'er, why are you drinking so much?" While sleeping, Ye Yuan really couldn't help asking.

"What is this!" Liu Man'er laughed, anyway, the original owner is also a girl from the mountains, so afraid of drinking?
Liu Man'er's family has been poor since she was a child. They live in the mountains and have to go to the mountains to work every day. In winter, they don't have clothes to keep out the cold. What should they do when they get cold?You can only eat the chaff left over from the roasted wine. Anyway, the sorghum left over from the roasted wine still smells like wine. If you eat more, your whole body will become hot like wine.

After all, wine is a precious thing. The mountains are barren, and many things cannot be grown. They can only grow some sorghum. This sorghum is the main source of income for Liu Man'er's family. The sorghum can be roasted and sold for wine.

But in the farmhouse, the dross left over from roasting wine is never used to throw away, or to be eaten by chickens, and people also eat it when they are poor and have nothing to do.

Liu Man'er doesn't like to drink, and she doesn't like to eat this kind of sorghum. The taste of the wine is strong and rough, and it hurts the throat of people who cut it.

These memories are deeply engraved in Liu Man'er's mind. Even though the original owner was a fool in the past, these memories cannot be forgotten. After all, she has all the memories of the original owner.

"Drink less alcohol next time, it's not good for women to drink too much, strong alcohol will hurt your health." Ye Yuan said.

"It's not because of you. A bunch of women are staring at you. I have to tell everyone that you are mine. They can't even take a second look or even think about it." Liu Man'er said angrily.

"You have to blame me for this too." Ye Yuan felt helpless.

"Of course it's your fault." Liu Man'er was unreasonable.

Ye Yuan can only compromise: "Well, this is all my fault..."
