Surdak was riding a horse, with a very exaggerated salamander head hanging on the saddle, and followed the lizard hunting group into the village.
Each member of the Lizard Hunting Group had a joyful smile on their face. Even the injured Val, who followed the team forward, also raised his chest, preferring the wound to burst rather than walking like an old man.
Hunched over.
Everyone crowded around the dead tree at the entrance of the village, and their eyes were attracted by the iron cage at the front. People looked curiously at the cage, which was almost full of gray rock iguanas. The villagers cheered enthusiastically. Quote: Everyone knows that this year
Winter must not be too difficult. The joy in the eyes suddenly spread to the face, making the dark old faces full of wrinkles.
In the past, when the lizard hunting group in the village entered the Paglos Mountains, the hunting period would never exceed one week, because the villagers only carried enough dry food and drinking water for one week, which also destined that the lizard hunting group would not be able to leave the Volcano.
The village is too far away, but this year the situation is different. The lizard hunting group actually entered the Paglos Mountains for nearly two weeks. If four villagers had not returned to the village in advance with two iron cages of gray rock iguanas and brought back the hunting lizards.
With the news that everything is safe in the group, I'm afraid the village will explode.
The reason why the hunting lizard group can stay in the mountains for an extra week, in addition to the 'Water Gathering Technique' scroll in Surdak's hand, is also closely related to the old village chief cooking a big pot of rice. Before every dinner, the lizard hunting group
The group members threw their share of food into the pot. Everyone felt that they did not eat much, and the food thrown into the pot was also the smallest amount. Once these corn cakes are boiled with water, they will expand rapidly and turn into a pot of porridge, which often
There is a strong feeling of fullness.
The members of the Lizard Hunting Group brought a week's worth of dry food, but they actually ate it for two weeks.
When he was about to starve at the end, Surdak brought back hundreds of pounds of fresh salamander meat and let the villagers eat a very delicious barbecue on the way back to Wall Village. As for eating salamander meat,
Although the old village chief complained a little, he thought that Surdak should not give such high-end ingredients to the villagers. This kind of salamander meat is more valuable than the gray rock iguana meat. If he can sell it, he will make a profit.
Pen.
However, after some of the salamander meat was handed over, the remaining portion belonged to Suldak and the other five young people. As for how they distributed the salamander meat, the old village chief had no say in this matter.
However, Surdak only took out his portion of the barbecue to share with everyone, and the other members still carried back the salamander meat bit by bit back to the village.
The villagers who had eaten salamander meat gathered together to discuss it afterwards. Some villagers even rubbed their bellies and said, "Actually, salamander meat is not much better than yellow lamb. It is tender, very tender..."
But now that everyone has come out of the Paglos Mountains, the lizard hunting group has entered the Paglos Mountains relatively deep this time, so they only went out to hunt once and harvested enough gray rock iguanas.
The women in the village smiled and welcomed the men back, and almost everyone in the village ran to the entrance of the village to greet them.
For the village of Woer, hunting the gray rock iguana every year is a big event. This is related to whether the whole village has enough winter storage supplies for the winter. Everyone sells the gray rock iguana and uses the money to exchange for
Some winter foods, such as sour pears, pickled cucumbers, ham, and lard from Halanza City.
The villagers of Wall Village know how to hunt limestone iguanas very sparingly. They believe that these iguanas are a gift from the mountains, just so that the people in the mountains can survive the harsh winter. Therefore, the villagers follow the laws of nature.
If the village chief leads people to hunt enough gray rock iguanas, they will stop hunting, and they will never kill indiscriminately.
The mountain people here all understand this truth. If you catch more this year, you may have to go farther to hunt next year.
The villagers are hostile to outside hunting groups, but the gray rock iguana only crawls out from the depths of the rock cracks in September every year, and disappears immediately after autumn, so outside adventure groups will not
I came to this deserted land specifically to hunt the gray rock iguana.
…
Old Sheila and Natasha stood in the crowd.
Rita pulled little Peter away from the crowd. She didn't want him to run wildly at the entrance of the village with other children in the village. Little Peter was only four years old. Following the older children would only serve as a source of dust. When she saw Surdak riding
After mounting his horse and following the Lizard Hunters, little Peter no longer wanted to accept his aunt's control. He forcibly broke free from Rita's hands and ran staggeringly towards Suldak.
Suldak also jumped off the horse immediately, took two steps forward, raised Little Peter high above his head, got on the horse amidst Little Peter's cheers, and took Little Peter for a long ride outside the village.
circle before returning to the village entrance.
Only old Sheila, Rita and Natasha were left at the entrance of the village.
The other members of the lizard hunting group have happily reunited with their families and returned to the village.
Rita raised her feet and took little Peter off the horse. Surdak then followed old Sheila. The family walked into the village. Old Sheila saw the salamander head hanging on Suldak's saddle.
She had just heard about Suldak's hunting of a salamander from the villagers' words. She just glanced at it lightly and asked, "Are you injured?"
"No!" Suldak was slightly distracted, and then added: "The boy Varna was a little injured, but he should get better soon."
Old Sheila just nodded and stopped talking.
Among the group of people, only little Peter was so excited that he huddled in Natasha's arms and kept talking about the wonderful feeling of riding a horse. Natasha didn't even dare to look at her nominal husband and just hugged the little boy tightly.
Peter, walk with your head down.
Rita walked at the end, and a pair of bright lake-blue eyes fell on Suldak. Suldak's arrival not only changed the embarrassing life at home, but the atmosphere in Wall Village seemed to have also changed.
, everyone laughed obviously a lot more than before.
After the caravan arrived this year, everyone took out some agricultural products in exchange for daily necessities, which was much more than in previous years.
This time, the lizard hunting group only took half a month to complete the hunting target ahead of schedule. In previous years, the lizard hunting group would go out for nearly a week at a time, and then rest for two days, usually in Wall Village and Pag.
I have to go back and forth between Los Mountain at least four times. I am busy until the harvest festival comes in early October, and I will stop hunting and prepare to go home to harvest wheat and tree rice. When I really have some free time, almost all the members of the lizard hunting group will lose weight.
Go in a big circle.
Last year was quite miserable. The lizard hunting group failed to complete the planned hunting target. The old village chief took the strong laborers of the village to cut wood in the mountains near Hilanza City before the heavy snow closed the mountains. When he came back, there were many villagers'
My hands and feet were frostbitten.
There was a faint smile in Rita's eyes, as if she had a very beautiful longing for tomorrow.
Walking on the muddy dirt road in the village, my body seems to feel much more relaxed. When walking, I can't help but tap my toes and want to jump...
Like a woodland elf who wants to dance on the petals...
