They say: It is easier to go up a mountain than it is to go down a mountain.
This mountain has not been developed, and the mountain roads are naturally formed and difficult to walk.
The mountain road was already difficult to walk, and with about a hundred kilograms of pork on their backs, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu stopped and walked along the way.
It was okay at first, but in the end I couldn't walk for more than five minutes and had to sit down and rest.
In this way, the two of them walked from about one o'clock in the afternoon to almost six o'clock. In this October, it was already dark in the mountains.
At this time, the two of them had reached the foot of the mountain. After walking down for more than ten minutes, they could exit the mountain range.
Yong'an Village, where Zhao Jun's family is located, was built for the convenience of the employees of Yong'an Forest Farm in the mountains. The village is not far from the foot of the mountain.
Therefore, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu discussed that they would rest here for a while and gather enough strength to walk home in one breath.
This break lasted for more than twenty minutes.
When they stood up and Li Baoyu helped Zhao Jun lift the sack onto his shoulders, Zhao Jun suddenly told Li Baoyu, "Baoyu, remember this. If someone asks us what we are carrying when we enter the village, just tell them."
What a mountain product to carry.”
"This..." Upon hearing this, Li Baoyu immediately understood what Zhao Jun meant.
Just looking at the sack in front of his feet, Li Baoyu felt a little confused, "Brother, we don't look like mountain goods on our backs, do we?"
Zhao Jun smiled and said: "No matter that, just leave after saying that. Does he still dare to take out our sack to see what's going on?"
"Then he doesn't dare." Li Baoyu also laughed.
These days, who doesn’t want to eat more meat at home? Except for some real relatives and close friends, who is willing to share meat with others?
The two brothers worked hard and went down the mountain and into the village.
It was almost half past six at this time, and those who worked in the forest farm and who were due to get off work had also gone home. Those who worked in the fields also called it a day.
At this time, it is the time for every household to cook and eat.
Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu came back at this time. From the time they entered the village to the time they returned to their home, they only met two people along the way.
These two people actually asked Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu what they were carrying. Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu just replied that they were mountain goods. After speaking, they ignored their doubtful looks and headed home with the sacks on their shoulders.
By the time Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu arrived at the door of their home, their dog had already arrived home first.
The two brothers went out with their dogs and ran around for a day.
At first, the adults in the family didn't know it, because their fathers worked in the forest farm and went to work after eating early in the morning.
After having breakfast, Zhao Jun's mother Wang Meilan and Li Baoyu's mother Jin Xiaomei left lunch for their children and went to work in the fields together.
By the time the two women came back, it was already past three in the afternoon.
When Wang Meilan returned home, she found that Zhao Jun was not at home. She asked her two daughters and saw that both of them shook their heads and said they didn't know where their eldest brother had gone, so she didn't care.
Not only her, but also Jin Xiaomei didn't care.
Think about it, how can a young man of this age have enough time to live? He might have gone somewhere to play.
Moreover, both Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei believed that these two boys would be back when it was time for dinner.
But it was after four o'clock, almost five o'clock.
Li Baoyu's father, Li Dayong, took the small train commuting to the forest farm down the mountain and returned home first.
Li Dayong went home and entered the courtyard, shouting through the wall: "Sister-in-law! Can't you stay at home?"
When Li Dayong shouted, Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei walked out of their houses.
"Brother, are you back?" Wang Meilan greeted casually. The two families are neighbors, separated by only half a wall, and they usually get along like one family.
Li Dayong lifted it with his right hand, and saw an old-fashioned yellow wrapping paper. He didn't know what kind of food it was wrapped in, and it was tied with a cross flower with a hemp rope.
"Sister-in-law, your eldest brother asked me to bring back the dried tofu." Li Dayong said: "There are guests in the factory today. He asked you mothers to eat first, so you don't have to wait for him."
Wang Meilan walked to the wall, picked up the paper bag and said, "Okay, brother, you can take back some of this dried tofu."
"No need." Li Dayong smiled, raised his left hand again, revealed a similar paper bag, and said with a smile: "My brother, can I miss mine?"
"Okay, then I'll go back to the house." Wang Meilan said with a smile, then carried the paper bag into the house.
At this time, in the courtyard of Li Baoyu's house, Jin Xiaomei walked up to Li Dayong, took the Guo paper bag from his hand, and said with a smile: "Just fry two small peppers in a while, you three all like to eat them."
Li Dayong said nothing and just strode into the house. As soon as he entered the house, he got on the kang without taking off his shoes. He just leaned against the wall and put his feet on the edge of the kang.
Then, I heard Jin Xiaomei calling her youngest son to pour water for Li Dayong in the outer room.
Li Dayong has two sons and one daughter. Li Baoyu is the eldest son. His second son, Li Ruhai, is 13 years old this year. He also has a seven-year-old daughter named Li Xiaoqiao.
Li Dayong took the enamel jar from his second son and worked for a day. When he returned home, he felt physically tired. He leaned against the wall and felt a little dizzy. He wanted to take a nap before eating.
But when he thought about returning home and not seeing his eldest son yet, he casually asked Li Ruhai: "Where did your eldest brother go to the wild again?"
Li Ruhai chuckled and said, "My eldest brother and Zhao's brother went up the mountain to fuck the wild boar, and the black blind man went away."
"Hmm..." Li Dayong asked casually and responded casually. But as soon as Li Ruhai's words passed through his mind, his whole body suddenly trembled and he sat up in shock. The enamel jar in his hand was directly dropped by him.
On the kang.
"Bang... clang, clang, clang..."
The enamel jar rolled and bumped on the kang, making constant noises.
Li Dayong's eyes widened, he stared at his youngest son and shouted: "What did you say?"
Li Ruhai was startled and froze on the spot.
"What's going on, what's going on." Jin Xiaomei, who was cutting dried tofu in the outer room when she heard the noise in the inner room, quickly dropped her kitchen knife and went to the inner room.
"Say it!" Li Dayong lowered his legs and got off the kang. He raised his hand and pushed Li Ruhai to stagger and asked angrily.
"What are you doing?" Jin Xiaomei didn't know what happened yet, but her mother was protecting her son. She was afraid that Li Dayong would hit Li Ruhai again, so she immediately pushed Li Dayong toward the kang with both hands.
Li Dayong stepped back a little, his knees touched the edge of the kang, and he suddenly sat down on the edge of the kang.
Li Dayong was so furious that he yelled at Jin Xiaomei: "You still lick your face and ask me? How can you be a mother? Has the boss ever run over the mountains? You just let him go hunting with Zhao Xiaozi?"
"Hunting?" Upon hearing this, Jin Xiaomei rolled her eyes at Li Dayong angrily, pointed at Li Dayong twice, and said with a smile: "What can he and Zhao Xiao'er do? Catch a wild duck, a jumping cat, at most
Just pick a badger."
It's okay if Jin Xiaomei didn't say that, but when she said that, Li Dayong became even more furious and cursed angrily: "You wicked bitch! You little tiger calf!"
At this point, Li Dayong pointed at Li Ruhai and looked at Jin Xiaomei gnashing her teeth, saying hatefully: "Ask this little brat! He said that the boss and Zhao Xiaoer went into the mountains to hunt wild boars, and the black blind man went there!"
"What?" Jin Xiaomei's head buzzed, and she suddenly felt a chill all over her body.
She grew up in a mountain farm. She has followed the adults to collect schisandra, mushrooms, fungus and other mountain products outside the mountain farm since she was a child. She knows that hunting is dangerous.
Encountering a wild boar is okay, but if you encounter a black bear, which is what Li Ruhai and Li Dayong call a black bear, then his tiger son may be found in the mountains.
