Chapter 44 044: Snake Rat
In his previous life, he didn't notice the changes in Wang Tianxin's mind when he was rebellious. By the time he realized it, the young man had already developed many bad wrong habits and thinking, which he could not reverse.
I originally thought about marrying a wife to look after, but I never thought that marrying that wife would be a waste of money.
It's like adding fuel to the fire.
I don't know what kind of wind blew on the pillow. Not only did Wang Tianxin not calm down, but he worsened and became bad and stupid, becoming the most troublesome person in the entire Wang family.
Thinking of his past life, Wang Tianxiao felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Thinking of Wang Tianxin's ferocious face at that time, it is difficult to compare it with the innocent young man he is now.
Time is like a ball of ink, and life is like a blank paper. Some people splash ink into a picture, while some people just pollute the paper.
Most people are just like himself, who just write a few mediocre words here and there on paper.
The moon in the sky is a semicircle, like a dish broken into half. Because there are some clouds covering it, the moonlight is not very bright.
The three of them could only rely on the flashlight in Wang Tianxiao's hand to tell the direction.
It is very quiet in the middle of the night in the mountains. Birds, insects, and some beasts that move during the day have all fallen asleep at this moment, while beasts that are good at moving at night generally don't move at all.
Not all animals like to howl like wolves.
"Second brother, are there snakes in this mountain?" Wang Tianxin stuck close to Wang Tianxiao. He said he was not afraid, but after entering the mountain, he behaved completely opposite to what he said.
After all, he is still a child. He talks about being brave for a while, but in fact, his courage has not been cleansed, and he is a fool.
"Of course there are snakes in the mountains."
"Ah..." Wang Tianxin jumped up on the spot and said in panic, "Then we should each prepare a snake-beating stick. What if we are bitten by a snake?"
"Pfft." Wang Tiancheng chuckled again.
"Oh, Wang Tiancheng, why are you laughing at me again? Why do you think of me as my brother? If you want to act like this, I will never recognize you as my brother in the future." In desperation, he called out to his fifth brother, who was only a few years older than him.
name.
"You think I'm laughing at you? You've forgotten that snakes hibernate in the winter. Why would they come outside?"
"Oh, how could I forget this?" Wang Tianxin scratched his head and said with a smile: "There are no snakes in winter, they all go to hibernate, haha, they hibernate."
As he spoke, his footsteps had already landed on the ground, and it was obvious that he no longer had any worries.
After walking for about half an hour, the three of them arrived halfway up the mountain. Wang Tianxiao pointed out to the two brothers the Yangziling substation where he would be working in the next year. Both of them were very curious and said that they would also live here later and were willing to pay for it for free.
Contribute to the forestry industry of the motherland.
Wang Tianxin, in particular, had only recently learned Tao Yuanming's poems, and he composed two short poems as he went along, "Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the southern mountains."
The two brothers almost pinched their noses to express their recognition and praise for his progress.
Reading more is definitely a good thing.
The knowledge in the book is like food that goes into your stomach. You don't seem to feel anything when you eat it every day, but your body grows and matures day by day. And whenever you want to do something, you can use your strength at any time.
Knowledge is usually hidden deep in the mind, but at a special moment, it will suddenly appear and give people a big surprise.
Moreover, it will subtly shape a person's temperament and image. This is the so-called poetry and calligraphy in one's belly.
In his previous life, Wang Tianxiao stopped studying after finishing junior high school because his family was poor. He has always been very regretful.
When life gets better in the future, you are already in your forties and you want to learn some knowledge. Your memory and understanding have deteriorated a lot. Learning is half the result with twice the effort and requires more energy.
He suffered the disadvantage of being uneducated, and later tried every means to get his three children to study, all three of whom were college students. After the children all worked, his life gradually became easier.
Therefore, he still hopes that Wang Tianxin will read more. Perhaps the rebellion and unruliness hidden in his heart can only be resolved by reading and learning more knowledge.
The reason why he likes to live alone is because he has seen too little. When he realizes that there are more interesting and interesting things in this world, he will naturally think about the distance and will not wander and worry about the three acres of land at present.
Divide land.
Fierceness and recklessness are just incompetent rage. Real strength is gentleness that can solve all problems.
This is a truth that Wang Tianxiao spent his entire life understanding.
The three of them walked forward talking and laughing. Wang Tianxiao suddenly stopped, squatted down, put the flashlight in his mouth, gently picked up the soil on the ground, put it under his nose, smelled it, and nodded gently.
"elder brother?"
"It's right here. Look at this hole. This is the hare's hole."
"Let me see, let me see."
Wang Tianxin also squatted down and observed carefully for a long time. He didn't see anything. He shook his head and said, "I didn't see anything. Second brother, why do you say this is a hare's nest? It's no different from a squirrel's nest."
.”
The yellow squirrel is a kind of mouse that is abundant in the fields, forests and grasslands of the northwest. It belongs to the family Squirrel. It has a shorter tail and a slightly fuller face. It looks a bit cute and cute, not as wretched as a mouse.
People here like to eat squirrels very much.
The process of catching squirrels is also very interesting.
Because weasels like to dig holes in the fields, they leave many holes. When you want to catch them, you only need to carry a bucket of water and pour it into the holes. A family of weasels, old and young, will line up to get out of the nest.
.
At this time, as long as a cage is placed on the entrance of the nest, the squirrels will all run into the cage.
If you don't even have a cage, it doesn't matter. You can just put a shovel on the mouth of the nest, come out and knock one out, and finally carry it back by its tail.
There are also many ways to eat squirrels.
You can fry it like rabbit meat, wrap it in noodles, steam it, or fry it.
But for friends, there is an easier way.
Peel off the skin of the chinchilla, sprinkle it with various seasonings, wrap it in corn or other leaves, put it in a small tile that is two pages closed, seal the tile with mud, dig a hole and bury it.
Build a small pot platform with bricks on top of the pit, light a fire inside, roast sweet potatoes or corn on the fire, and bury the chinchilla in the pit below. When the top is roasted, the bottom is basically cooked.
Dig out the tiles and smash them, and take out the squirrel meat inside. It is golden, crispy and tender, which is a satisfying experience.
Later, no one ate chinchillas. On the one hand, because people's living standards improved and various meats were in sufficient supply, there was no need to think about what to eat chinchilla meat.
Another theory is that the cross between chinchillas and house mice has infected many diseases and is no longer suitable for people to eat, as there is concern that diseases may be transmitted to humans.
No matter which one it is, people basically don’t eat chinchillas anymore, and the number of chinchillas seems to be getting smaller than before. I don’t know why.
"Why is this a hare's hole? That's a big question. Do you want to know?"
Wang Tianxiao asked his two younger brothers with a smile.
It was finally time for him to show off his expertise.
