Living in the mountains and forests as hunters

Chapter 46

Since he was one of his own, An Dalang also relaxed his vigilance, rubbed his head and smiled innocently, and called uncle.On the other hand, the middle-aged man was stunned when he heard that he was Zhao Dahu's brother-in-law, and then he spoke to An Dalang with a look of admiration on his face:

"It's the young man of An's family! I know, it's the matchmaker made by my sister-in-law. She's such a good young man! I've heard that a few days ago, the wolves from the deep mountain went down the mountain. It was you and the hunters from the mountains in the south who came out. You killed the wolf and drove the wolf back. This is really a hero! If it weren't for your ability, if the wolf occupied the land in the future, the road between our Wangjiagou and this Zhaojiawozi would be broken! The village and this place are also uneasy. Good! Good! Those in the villages in these mountains don’t know the skills of your offspring, let alone hunting skills, even the walking skills are good. Very! By the way, I also want to thank you! Last time you told Zhaojiawozi that kombu can cure big neck disease, but it saved my kid. At that time, my little son was suffering from illness! After listening to this prescription, it took only three or five days to eat it, so I went down. The price is cheap, how much money I saved! I am a young man, next time I come to Wangjiagou, I must go to my uncle’s house As a guest, let my uncle thank you! My uncle’s house is at the east end of the village, and it’s very easy to find. Let me tell you! Our village is closer to Langshan Mountain. This time it scared many people. Woolen cloth!."

This man is very good at pulling and tugging. He tugged at An Dalang's sleeve and said one sentence after another. Next, let people turn the corner faster!I feel dizzy.Seeing that he finally entered the village, An Dalang pulled Zhao Dahu and hurriedly said goodbye to the uncle, only then did he stop the torture of his ears.

They waited until they reached the courtyard of the Zhao family, and the two men woke up from their dizziness. After this awakening, Zhao Dahu's first reaction was:
"Oh, we just listened to it, and we didn't seem to say anything! Oh, I was thinking about telling the story of the wolf I hunted! The ten-year-old wolf hunter, how powerful it is to say it, it can't be said ten miles away From Baxiang, my name, Zhao Dahu, will be recognized immediately!"

Fantastic!Speaking of the next few sentences, Zhao Dahu's eyes were full of emptiness, as if he had become the focus of everyone all of a sudden, but this fantasy only stayed for a few seconds, because a soprano came out immediately,

"What? Borzoi? Bastard, did you get into some trouble?"

Zhao Qianshi rushed out from the yard and grabbed Zhao Dahu, his face was full of tension, his eyes scanned him no less than ten times.Zhao Dahu retreated again and again as he watched.

"What! How could I cause trouble? That's merit, great merit. If it wasn't for me, my sister wouldn't know what to do!"

When he said this, Zhao Qian became more and more nervous, and immediately moved his eyes to An Dalang, and then asked:
"Son-in-law, you, did something serious happen to you? Ah!"

Seeing that the neighbors around were about to be called out by Zhao Qianshi, An Dalang didn't know what to say, his face was flushed, it was Zhao Dahu who knew what his brother-in-law meant when he saw it, and hurriedly dragged his wife into the house Walk:

"Mother, go back and become the main house, so I can tell you, I'm tired, thirsty, and cold!"

The son's needs are always the first, and Zhao Qian immediately forgot everything, slapped his thigh, and said loudly:
"I'm going to die, I forgot, the water is still boiling, hurry up, go home and wash your hands, wipe your face, warm up, it's almost lunch time, why did you come back at this time."

In the main room, there was a triangular temporary stove in the middle, with a water pot hanging on it, and the water was boiling. As soon as Zhao Qianshi entered the room, he took a wooden basin, mixed hot water and cold water, and asked Zhao Dahu and An Dalang washed his face, went into the kitchen in a hurry, brought out two bowls of broken rice porridge, and two pieces of dry biscuits, which could still feel hot in his hands.

"Mom, you are really amazing, how do you know I came back today! There is hot water, pancakes and porridge, too complete."

"I don't know what day it is, but I guess it's always these two days, so I make the porridge and pancakes every day, and keep them warm in the pot. If you don't come back, then I will leave it for tomorrow." Continue to stew, this porridge was made yesterday, and it was reheated this morning, let alone, the porridge that has been stewed for two days is thick, and the rice has melted. It seems that the longer this thing is boiled, the better it will be. OK!"

It was just a question and answer inadvertently, but these words made both An Dalang and Zhao Dahu stunned, especially An Dalang, whose biological mother died early, felt sore when he heard it, this is my mother!In order for her son who came home to have a comfortable mouthful of hot food, for several days, she cooked it in the morning and stewed it in the evening, waiting day by day, full of expectations. Maybe she didn’t just do these things, maybe, every day she relied on The door looks forward to, such a mother's love is really enviable!

There was silence in the main room, An Dalang was the son-in-law, and it was hard to say anything, he just ate the food in his bowl silently, Zhao Dahu was there!His eyes were red, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only put down the bowls and chopsticks suddenly, pull over the baskets they carried, and take things out from inside, whether it was to show filial piety, or to cover up his emotions, anyway, he Sometimes I just want my mother to see, see what my sister gave, and see what I have gained.

"Mother, look, the bone that my sister gave you is good for making soup from this bone. It is very good for the body. It is even more delicious to cook porridge with this bone soup. By the way, there is also yam, which you dug and ate before." , put something that is not delicious, put it in the bone porridge, it is full and sweet, my sister made it once, it is very gluttonous, my sister asked me to tell you, this food is absolutely good to eat, and, This is venison, I got it from my brother-in-law’s trap, because I discovered it first, so my sister and brother-in-law said that it would count me and my sister as half of each other. , and there is still a catty of meat here, venison is great for nourishing your mother's body. By the way, this is kombu. You can make soup, add bacon, or add a well-beaten egg, too. Good stuff, you won’t get a big neck disease if you eat it, Uncle Qi probably told me about it when he came back! I guess the whole village knows about it! Sister asked to bring back five pieces, let’s see how you eat it, And this seaweed was bought by my brother-in-law from Xiaohe Town in the south. It is also good for soup! This, this, wolf meat! Mother, there are ten catties here. I hunted wolves, mother. My son is also a hunter. Let mother eat meat, look, there are leather, two! One for mother to make clothes, one for myself, we must be warm this year, so that other families will be jealous."

Zhao Dahu chattered endlessly, while Zhao Qianshi on one side looked at the wolf meat and the wolf skin, tears fell down here suddenly, weeping silently, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, suddenly, She grabbed Zhao Dahu again,
"Son! Tell mother, are you injured? Ah! Tell me! Are you injured? That's a wolf! Silly son! Why do you have such courage for such a villain! A wolf from the deep mountain! Mother! When I heard that I went down the mountain, my mother was in a hurry! I couldn’t sleep all night! I was afraid that they would go to your place, but I didn’t expect to meet them, son! My mother regretted it at that time! I shouldn’t I told you to live in the mountains, so I shouldn’t have let your elder sister marry there, but later I heard that there was no dead person, my mother’s heart! I finally fell, but you didn’t come back, my mother’s heart didn’t dare to let go, son! You came back when you came back, why are you still so frightening! How dare you provoke such a beast!"

Speaking later, Mrs. Zhao Qian was crying, and An Dalang on the side also felt embarrassed. But the mother-in-law said that she regretted marrying her daughter-in-law to him. It can be seen how frightened he was this time. He didn't dare to interrupt a word.

It was Zhao Dahu who hugged his mother's arm and said with a choked voice:

"Mother, mother, don't be afraid, my son is amazing! My brother-in-law has taught him a lot, and my brother-in-law killed the most wolves, killing eight of them! My son is just picking up cheap in the yard, and shooting a few arrows at the only ones." "Mother, my son killed two wolves! Isn't it amazing! Isn't it! Such a skill, mother, you should praise your son! Even if Dad knows it, he must be very proud! Ten-year-old can kill wolves. How many people are there?"

As soon as he mentioned his father, Zhao Qian's spirit seemed to come back again, he stood up all of a sudden, turned around and knelt down facing the tablet of Father Zhao in the middle of the main room, and said loudly to the tablet:
"My son's father, did you hear that, ah! Did you hear that? Our son is promising! He is a hunter, and he can hunt and let the family eat meat. The ten-year-old hunter who killed wolves, his father, why don't you live more? It's time! It's good to accept the son's filial piety, and eat the meat beaten by the son before leaving! His father! I feel sorry for you! If you hadn't left early, our son would have suffered so much! His father , you, you must bless your son! Bless Da Ni, bless your son-in-law, everything will be smooth, there will be meat to eat, and everyone will live in peace!"

Mrs. Zhao Qian's cry finally attracted neighbors. Uncle Qi and his wife were the first to come. As soon as they entered the door, they heard what Mrs. Zhao said to the memorial tablet. They were shocked immediately, stepped forward, and sat aside. An Dalang, who was a wooden man, asked about the wolves in the mountains. Slowly, there were more and more people in the main room. With the persuasion of several sisters-in-law, Mrs. Zhao Qian finally cleared up, and hurriedly took Pick up the bones, start to stew the soup, and prepare to stew in a pot, and then send some to the close ones, so that they can taste the taste.This big drama finally came to an end, only when An Dalang was talking about wolves with others, Zhao Dahu took his two wolf skins and started talking about himself to the group of friends who came in. Great achievements, a look of embarrassment.

Uncle Qi couldn't help but sighed:
"This kid, you really have a big heart! Dalang! Take him well, maybe, this kid is born to be a hunter!"

"Hey, Seventh Uncle, don't worry, I know, Dumb is my younger brother."

"Okay, okay! Dani's son-in-law is right, ah, you killed eight of them? Are the wolves seeking revenge?"

"No, as long as I don't go to the deep mountains, it's fine, it's not our fault, they crossed the line!"

"That's good, that's good! Dumb, go burn incense for your father tomorrow, you boy, what can you do yourself, it's your father who is protecting you in the sky, otherwise you would have such good luck. "

"Understood, Seventh Uncle!"
