Chapter 735. Zhao Jun eats meat and Chen Xueyi eats snow
In the mountains of Northeast China, when winter comes, the weather is freezing.
When I came out from home, I filled my kettle with water and wandered around in the mountains for a whole morning before it froze into lumps of ice.
Therefore, if mountain runners are thirsty in the mountains, they can either grab a handful of snow to eat or drink tea with their tails stuck out.
Tail-sticking tea means digging a hole in the ice, sticking one's buttocks out and drinking the cold water with one's mouth.
In this winter, the water surface is frozen, and the water under the ice is in a state of hypoxia. People suddenly dig holes in the ice, and the insects in the water are the first to float to the surface to obtain oxygen.
Therefore, there is a layer of white flesh worms visible to the naked eye floating on the surface of the stick-tail tea.
Mountain runners generally don't pay too much attention. They close their eyes and drink the cold water with the bugs.
It's just that when they're full, they'll stuff two universal painkillers into their mouths.
In his previous life, Zhao Jun always drank tea with his tail pushed out, but this life he has become more particular about it and refuses to drink tea with his tail pushed out. And when he is hungry, he is asked to catch snow to eat, but Zhao Jun does not do it.
So, he prepared a pan that was not much bigger than a palm. While setting up the fire to roast the dry food, Zhao Jun turned the small pan into snow water and drank it.
Eating baked cakes and drinking hot water, Jiang Weifeng couldn't help but sigh that he had followed Huang Gui and Chen Xueyi in the siege for all these years, but he still didn't feel comfortable following Zhao Jun.
After eating and drinking, the three of them pushed the snow with their feet to put out the fire. Jiang Weifeng volunteered to pick up the roe deer, and the three of them walked down the mountain path, digging all the way up the mountain.
They came out in the morning and walked here for five hours from home, but there was a detour on the way. They took a shortcut back and walked for more than two hours.
By the time the three of them entered the village, it was already past four in the afternoon, and it was almost dark in the mountain village.
Jiang Weifeng dragged the roe deer and said to Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin: "Brother, the roe deer is dragging the roe deer to my house?"
"Okay!" Zhao Jun said with a smile: "Let's go, Brother Jiang, come to your house."
"Hey, hey." Jiang Weifeng happily pulled the roe deer and took Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin to his home.
When the three of them entered Jiang Weifeng's house, Huang Yan was peeling potatoes in the outer room and preparing to make dinner.
Huang Yan didn't expect Jiang Weifeng to come back so early, because Jiang Weifeng didn't eat at home these days.
We ate at Huang Gui's house before, but yesterday, even if Chen Xueyi didn't stay with Zhao Jun, Huang Gui and others had dinner with Jiang Weifeng.
Today, a few people went up the mountain to fight again. Huang Yan thought that Jiang Weifeng would have to leave someone else's house to eat. But she didn't expect that Jiang Weifeng not only came back, but also brought back his guests and prey.
Huang Yan greeted Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin, and then called her daughter and son to come out to meet people.
Jiang Weifeng's family has a son and a daughter. The eldest is a daughter. She is fifteen years old this year and her name is Jiang Nan.
Naming a girl this way is actually similar to Zhao Di or Lai Di, just because I want another boy.
Don't tell me, this trick works quite well in Lao Jiang's family. Jiang Weifeng's son is ten years old this year, and his name is Jiang Guodong.
After letting the child get to know Zhao Jun, Huang Yan asked Jiang Weifeng: "Where is the eldest brother-in-law?"
"Brother-in-law..." When Huang Yan asked about Chen Xueyi, Jiang Weifeng couldn't help but hesitate. He paused for a while before saying, "I'll probably be back soon..."
When Jiang Weifeng said this, he was a little unsure, otherwise he wouldn't have added the word "ba" at the end.
At the same time, in the forest, Chen Xueyi was sitting on the legs of a big poplar tree. He rubbed the calf of his left leg with his left hand, and put his right hand on the ground to grab a handful of snow and put it into his mouth randomly.
plug.
Chen Xueyi is not thirsty when he eats snow, he is hungry!
I’m really hungry and there’s nothing I can do!
In these three hours, Chen Xueyi should have walked out of the mountain. But the problem is, he is too hungry to walk!
Chen Xueyi felt weak all over and his calves felt weak. He stopped and walked, and from time to time he would grab a handful of snow and stuff it into his mouth.
"I'll fuck you three!" Chen Xueyi swallowed the snow in his mouth and muttered scolding Zhao Jun, Zhang Yuanmin and Jiang Weifeng.
At this time, Chen Xueyi felt so cruel in his heart, but it was already dark when he saw it. He struggled to stand up with the pine tree Mingzi he picked up, and staggered to find the birch tree.
When Chen Xueyi arrived in front of the birch tree, it was dark and he could no longer see anything. He rubbed and tore off two pieces of birch bark from the tree, took out a match with difficulty and struck it, trying to light the birch bark.
Birch bark is like paper, and it comes in sheets. It can be said that it ignites with just a little fire.
But in the evening, the wind started blowing in the mountains. Chen Xueyi blocked it with his body and struck the match with great effort, but the weak flame was extinguished by the wind!
"I'll fuck you three!" Chen Xueyi couldn't help but cursed again, and then continued to strike matches.
After striking the match this time, Chen Xueyi twisted the matchstick with one hand, shielded the wind with his other hand and body, and carefully lit the birch bark.
Just when the flames were about to reach the bark of the birch tree, a gust of wind blew up, and the flames suddenly flickered, and were extinguished in an instant!
"I fucked your three mothers!" Chen Xueyi hated Zhao Jun and the three of them so much that he threw the match away and pointed in the direction of Qiaotou Village and cursed.
But after he finished scolding, Chen Xueyi had to squat down and strike a match to light the birch bark.
This time, Chen Xueyi finally lit the birch bark on fire. He was so surprised that he used his hands together by the light of the fire to peel off a lot of birch bark and throw it into the fire.
Then, Chen Xueyi took the pine tree tree beside him and inserted one end of it into the fire. Seeing the black smoke rising from the pine tree tree, Chen Xueyi looked up in the direction of Qiaotou Village and murmured: "I'll fuck you three.
You guys are waiting for me to go back!"
Like birch bark, pine bark is also easy to absorb, but it emits black smoke, which turned Chen Xueyi's face completely black within a few minutes.
But Chen Xueyi couldn't care less at this time. He held a torch in one hand and grabbed snow with the other and stuffed it into his mouth.
Chen Xueyi, who had eaten five or six handfuls of snow in a row, felt extremely sad and angry. He thought about those old ancestors who used to eat snow in their fried noodles when fighting in Beibang. But here, there was only snow left!
Who’s to blame?
It’s all those three people’s fault!
Chen Xueyi cursed again, stood up suddenly, held the torch, and walked away!
In the primeval forest shrouded in darkness, Chen Xueyi stepped on the ice and snow and walked with fire.
Look at the back and move forward bravely!
But just after walking two or three hundred meters, Chen Xueyi found a place to sit down again.
You won’t be hungry even if you eat snow!
Without food to replenish his strength, Chen Xueyi can’t walk!
……
Qiaotou Village, Jiang Weifeng’s home.
After Huang Yan asked Chen Xueyi, she asked Jiang Weifeng: "The eldest brother-in-law has not come back, so where is my eldest brother staying with him?"
"No." Jiang Weifeng replied: "Li Song's daughter is sick, and the eldest brother followed her into the city."
"Huh?" Huang Yan was surprised when she heard this and asked hurriedly: "What's going on?"
At this time, Zhao Jun stepped forward and briefly explained what happened in the morning, but he also did not mention that he had given Huang Gui money.
"Ah!" Huang Yan suddenly realized after hearing this, glanced at the roe deer on the ground, and then said to Jiang Weifeng: "I asked you how you pulled the roe deer back."
If Huang Gui or Chen Xueyi were here, Jiang Weifeng would not be able to drag this roe deer home.
Jiang Weifeng chuckled and said: "Daughter-in-law, my two brothers and I went into the house to talk for a while, while you and my daughter were picked off by this roe deer."
Hearing what Jiang Weifeng said, Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin were ready to follow him into the house, but Huang Yan said: "Don't be so cautious."
As soon as Huang Yan said this, Zhao Jun, Zhang Yuanmin, and Jiang Weifeng were all stunned.
Then she saw Huang Yan pulling out a wood-chopping ax from behind the dish rack at her house, handing it to Jiang Weifeng and saying, "Well, chop it open where the roe deer rests on the beam."
"Ah?" Jiang Weifeng was startled when he heard this, frowned and asked: "What are you doing?"
"If I ask you to cut it open, you can do it." Huang Yan said: "After cutting it open, let the two brothers pull it back from the back seat."
When Jiang Weifeng heard this, he quit immediately. The back seat refers to the back of the roe deer's waist, including the back and two hind thighs. It can be said that almost all the good meat on the whole roe deer was given to Zhao Jun and the others.
Seeing that Jiang Weifeng did not move, Huang Yan handed the ax forward again and urged: "Hurry up, what are you thinking about?"
"No." Jiang Weifeng took the ax and said, "It's divided among the five of us. This..."
"Where did these five people come from?" Huang Yan asked with a frown.
Jiang Weifeng held an ax in one hand and counted his fingers with the other, saying: "Two brothers, me, the eldest brother-in-law, and the bastard Hu Er."
Hu Er is the guy who reported the wild boar to Chen Xueyi the day before yesterday.
"Hu Er bastard?" Huang Yan asked anxiously: "What's the matter with him? What are you doing for him?"
Seeing that Huang Yan's momentum completely overwhelmed Jiang Weifeng, Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin looked at each other, and both of them laughed secretly. This Huang Laoxi's sister seemed to be a sweetheart, but Huang Yan was honest in front of her elder brother, and Jiang Weifeng
It’s just another face.
"Give him..." Jiang Weifeng organized his words before saying, "It was the letter he gave us, and we just went up the mountain today."
"He gave it to Xin'er?" Huang Yan said loudly: "Isn't it a wild boar that he gave to Xin'er? Isn't this the roe deer that my brother shot? What's the matter with him?"
Huang Yan said a few words, and Jiang Weifeng became silent. At this time, Jiang Nan stood aside with his arms around Jiang Guodong, and neither sister nor brother dared to say a word. Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin could not interrupt, so they could only look at Huang Yan
Clean up Jiang Weifeng.
Huang Yan stretched out her hand and tugged on the sleeve of Jiang Weifeng's clothes, then pointed at the roe deer on the ground and said, "Cut off the back seat, and you and your elder brother-in-law Le can divide the rest as you wish."
Jiang Weifeng glanced at Huang Yan helplessly, squatted down and took the ax to the roe deer, but he touched the ax in front of the roe deer's hip and elbow.
At this time, Huang Yan shouted: "Move forward!"
As soon as Huang Yan said this, Jiang Weifeng hurriedly moved the ax forward, and then heard Huang Yan say: "Okay, let's chop."
Jiang Weifeng raised his ax and started to chop, but Huang Yan turned around and entered the house.
Jiang Weifeng chopped off the spine of the roe deer with two axes, and then used the knife to cut the entire roe deer into two parts.
When Jiang Weifeng took action, neither Zhao Jun nor Zhang Yuanmin helped. They also saw that the family would not let them eat today. But Huang Yan was much more particular than Chen Xueyi and his wife. If this roe deer could survive,
Fifty kilograms of meat, and more than thirty kilograms, were all given to them.
Zhao Jun thought about waiting for Huang Yan to come out, saying hello to her, and then dragging the half-drawn roe deer back to Huang Gui's house.
But when Huang Yan came out of the house again, she put on the cotton-padded jacket she had left for home. Seeing this, Jiang Weifeng couldn't help but ask: "What are you going to do?"
"I'll buy some food for the two brothers." Huang Yan replied to Jiang Weifeng, then turned to Zhao Jun, and Zhang Yuanmin said: "Brothers, you stay home for dinner tonight, and my sister-in-law will buy canned food for you."
"Ouch!" Zhao Jun was shocked. He hurriedly said: "No, sister-in-law, let's go back to my brother Huang's house..."
"What's the big deal!" Huang Yan interrupted Zhao Jun directly. They are indeed brothers and sisters. Huang Yan's words and tone were similar to Huang Gui's.
I saw Huang Yan saying to Jiang Nan: "Daughter, you and your father leave home and pick off the remaining roe deer."
"Hey!" Jiang Nan responded obediently: "I know, Mom."
Huang Yan nodded to Jiang Nan, and then said to Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin: "Brother, grab the back seat and let's go."
Zhao Jun pulled Zhang Yuanmin, who was stunned, and Zhang Yuanmin hurriedly stepped forward and pulled up the roe deer's two hind legs. At this time, Huang Yan opened the door and let Zhang Yuanmin go first.
The three of them came out of the house and walked out of the yard. Huang Yan turned around and said to Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin: "Brothers, you send them back to Roe Deer to see if my eldest brother and the brother named Jie are back? They are coming back. You four are coming back."
Come over here in a pile. If they don’t come back, you two will come over too, and you’ll eat at our house today!”
"Sister-in-law." Zhao Jun politely refused: "We won't bother."
"That won't work!" Huang Yan was not angry at this time, but she raised her left hand, pressed her palm gently in front of Zhao Jun, and said: "I'm going to the store now to buy some food. You have to come over.
, or I’ll drag you home.”
"Haha." Zhao Jun chuckled. Before he could speak, Huang Yan continued: "You, Brother Jiang..."
At this point, Huang Yan paused for a moment before continuing: "Anyway, he doesn't have any bad intentions. He can do what you guys can do, but what can't be done? Brothers, please look at my sister-in-law's face and don't be like him." "Ouch!" When Zhao Jun heard this, he hurriedly said: "That can't be done, sister-in-law, with you and my brother, there is nothing we can say."
"That's right!" Huang Yan smiled and said, "Then we'll come back for dinner later."
Huang Yan had already said this, so Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin could only agree. Then the three of them separated, and Huang Yan hurried to the small shop.
Looking at Huang Yan's back, Zhang Yuanmin couldn't help but complain: "That Brother Jiang is not as good as a good old woman."
Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this. No wonder Huang Yan was so strong in the room just now. She was afraid that Jiang Weifeng would do something wrong again.
……
When Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin returned to Huang Gui's house, Huang Gui and his ministers had not returned yet, so they handed over the half-drawn roe deer to Song Lan. They left Huang Gui's house, inquired all the way to the small shop in the village, and bought two bottles of wine.
, a bottle of canned peaches and two pounds of sugar, and then went to Jiang’s house again with gifts.
When they came back, they saw Jiang Weifeng standing aside, watching Huang Yan pick the roe deer ribs.
Zhao Jun could tell at a glance that Huang Yan had left a lot of meat on the ribs. Seeing Zhao Jun coming in with things, Huang Yan said displeasedly: "Brothers, you can just come, why are you buying things?"
”
Zhao Jun smiled slightly, put the things on the stove with Zhang Yuanmin, and said with a smile: "I didn't buy anything. I bought two bottles of wine for Brother Jiang and a can for the child."
At this time, Huang Yan stood up to greet Zhao Jun, and Zhang Yuanmin said: "When I come back next time, I won't be able to buy these things. Come on, hurry up and get on the Kang."
After saying that, she said to Jiang Weifeng: "Hurry up and give your brother a whole drink of water."
Jiang Weifeng followed Huang Yan's instructions and went into the house to entertain Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin, while Huang Yan cooked in the outer room.
She put the whole roe deer ribs into the pot and put only mountain pepper and salt noodles in the water.
With the cooked meat in hand, Zhao Jun broke off a rib, dipped the trembling bone meat into the chive flowers that Huang Yan had pounded before freezing, Zhao Jun bit the meat and shook his head slightly.
Once you pull it, as you chew with your lips and teeth, the bones and meat enter your mouth, and you feel full of satisfaction!
When Zhao Jun threw the three gnawed bones on the Kang table, the clock on the wall fixed at half past six.
At this moment, deep in the mountains and forests, Chen Xueyi, who has weak legs, is holding a torch in one hand and holding on to the tree with the other, standing on the top of the mountain and unable to walk.
He had to go down the hillside and walk another two miles before he could leave the mountain field and reach the village entrance. In other words, there was still a distance of five miles.
Although there are only five miles of land, there are three miles of downhill mountain roads, which is definitely enough for the hungry and exhausted Chen Xueyi to walk for a while.
