Chen Xiuyu got up very early and did not disturb Lu Lu at all.
When Lu Lu woke up and found that the girl under the quilt was missing, he was also busy getting up. When he went out of the master bedroom door, he saw Chen Xiuyu dozing by the stove, sitting on a small stool and shaking.
of.
He walked into the kitchen and took a look, and found that the cooked meals in the steamer were being warmed. They were all Lu Lu's favorite dishes, and the ones being steamed were steamed buns.
"Daughter-in-law, why did you get up so early?"
It took a lot of time to cook the food, and it took a while to steam the steamed buns. It was still quite a while before dawn, so she got up at least two hours early.
Knowing that Lu Lu was leaving, she didn't worry that it was a lie last night. She must not have slept well. She also thought about making Lu Lu a delicious meal early... looking at Chen Xiuyu sitting in front of the stove and dozing off.
, Lu Lu was inexplicably moved, but even more distressed.
Awakened by the sound of Lu Lu looking through the steamer, Chen Xiuyu hurriedly stood up and rubbed her red eyes: "I know you will leave early today, and I wanted you to sleep more, so I got up first.
.”
Lu Lu took a deep breath, walked up to Chen Xiuyu, and held her tightly in his arms: "Actually, you don't have to leave so early... You really don't have to worry about me. It's more than two hundred kilometers from our place to Jiayin. This is not a short time."
You can get there in half a minute.
You are worried about me, you must not have slept well all night, so go back and sleep for a while, I will take care of what happens here."
Lu Lu let go of Chen Xiuyu and pushed her towards the bedroom.
"I can do it. Once you go out, I won't be able to cook for you for several days. If you want to go into the mountains, you have to keep your spirits up. You can go back and sleep for a while, and wait for my brother to come.
I'll call you again."
Chen Xiuyu stubbornly refused to move, but turned back to let Lu Lu go to sleep for a while.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the sound of opening the door came from outside the fence. Chen Xiuyu ran to the door and took a look: "Brother, you are here!"
"Hmm... I'm even worried that you guys haven't gotten up yet!"
Chen Xiuqing is definitely an activist when it comes to going into the mountains.
Damn, I can’t sleep!
Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu looked at each other and smiled, and were busy putting the warm food on the big Kang table.
"It's early enough, the food is cooked so quickly!" Chen Xiuqing was also a little surprised.
Lu Lu smiled, reached out and patted his shoulder: "Hurry up and get on the kang to eat."
As he spoke, he went back to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks and distributed them to Chen Xiuqing. Chen Xiuyu also brought the remaining dishes to the table and sat down on the edge of the Kang.
"Brother Lu, how are we leaving this time?"
Chen Xiuqing picked up the bowl and ate it uprightly, making a mess and her mouth was stuffed.
Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu were already accustomed to his ferocious way of doing things.
"Go to the mountains!"
Lu Lu picked some vegetables for Chen Xiuyu and said calmly.
"I thought you would go to Tangwang and follow the road directly to Jiayin... It's also good to go into the mountains. You can still hunt the prey you see."
Chen Xiuqing said excitedly: "Brother Lu, do you think we will encounter that big claw?"
Hearing this, Lu Lu frowned and glared at Chen Xiuqing fiercely.
Of course he knew that Chen Xiuqing was talking about the big claw, the one that destroyed the Oroqen native Ge Jiatian's Wuli Leng, forced his family to flee, and even injured others.
But at this time, it is obviously inappropriate to say this.
Chen Xiuyu was listening on the sidelines, and Lu Lu didn't want her to worry.
But Chen Xiuqing didn't even think about it.
Looking at his stimulant, Lu Lu really wanted to spray it directly.
But when Lu Lu thought about what Chen Xiuyu said to him last time, and knew that this guy spoke so carelessly just because he believed in himself, he swallowed the words that came to his lips and said with a smile:
"What? Looking at you like this, you still want to slap the big paw?"
Chen Xiuqing shook her head repeatedly: "I don't dare to do this!"
"That's more or less. When we encounter big claws, we can only stay as far away as possible. It's not easy to hunt. Besides, it's a protected animal. Without government permission, don't even think about it.
After being reminded like this, let's not go to the mountains. We will go directly to Jiayin first, find the Oroqen people who have moved outside, and find out the location of my master Zhao Tuanqing.
If they have already moved down the mountain, it would be best to find them directly instead of going into the mountains to look for them. If they are in the mountains, you can also ask for some clues, and it is not too late to search in the mountains."
After Lu Lu said this, he glanced at Heanda Claw out of the corner of his eye, and his expression suddenly became serious. Chen Xiuyu, who stopped eating, finally saw that her expression softened slightly and continued to eat. Only then did he pause.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Xiuqing had already noticed Lu Lu glaring at him, and also saw his sister's expression. She realized that she had said the wrong thing, and nodded cooperatively: "I listen to Brother Lu."
When the meal was finished, it was just dawn.
Chen Xiuyu packed the steamed buns into bags and put some in the bags for both of them. She also carefully packed the wound medicine and cold and fever medicine that Lu Lu got from Wang Demin and put them in Lu Lu's bag.
In the hunting bag.
Lu Lu filled the bullet bag, then disassembled the semi-automatic, wiped it carefully, reassembled it, calibrated it, and filled it with bullets.
Then, he took the tent he got from Sun Hanwei out of the house, rolled it into a bundle, whistled to call Zhui Feng, fed some black bean pancakes, tied the saddle, and then tied the tent behind the saddle.
This tent is much more convenient to use in the wild than the cactus pillar. It can be set up easily. It is much more effective in preventing rain and mosquitoes. Taking it with you into the mountains can easily solve the accommodation problem.
Chen Xiuqing also hung half a bag of millet, some oil and salt seasonings and a hanging pot for cooking outdoors.
The bullet belt tied around his waist was also filled with yellow bullets.
Chen Xiuyu also followed Lu Lu's request, cooked corn noodles and fed the five hunting dogs, but they were only half full.
Seeing that the preparations were almost done, Chen Xiuqing immediately led the horse to open the fence gate, got out and got on the horse to wait for Lu Lu.
When Lu Lu was getting on his horse, he saw Chen Xiuyu standing at the door, looking at the two people eagerly.
This morning, when Chen Xiuqing came in, she hadn't spoken much.
The worry in my heart is all written on my face, but I don't want to say it out.
She was worried that speaking out would affect Lu Lu, and she also knew that Lu Lu had a lot of things to do. Even though she was deeply reluctant to give up, she still endured it. All she could do was to silently support him so that Lu Lu would not have any worries.
Lu Lu walked back to the house and didn't care that Chen Xiuqing was watching. He just held Chen Xiuyu in his arms and held him tightly.
"Daughter-in-law, I know you are waiting for me at home and will never do anything uncertain again. Don't worry, I will come back intact. We have just started and there is always something to do. Trust me,
In a few years, we will be able to live a stable life, and by then, I will be with you every day."
"Brother Lu, I'm waiting for you to come back!"
"Okay, don't send me off. Go back and have a sleep. If everything goes well, I'll be back in a few days."
After Lu Lu finished speaking, he held Chen Xiuyu's face with both hands, kissed her on the forehead, rubbed her head pretending to be relaxed, turned around and left the house, and led the horse out of the gate.
The five hunting dogs had already happily run out and ran along the fence towards the hillside.
They always thought that Lu Lu would enter the mountain along the most familiar path along the hillside to the trail on the ridge. Unexpectedly, Lu Lu turned over and chased the wind, then rode across the river towards the woods outside.
Yuan Bao, who ran halfway up the slope, looked back at Lu Lu. He probably felt that he was being tricked. He snorted and led the four puppies towards Lu Lu.
The two of them were riding horses, and when they reached the edge of the forest, Lu Lu looked back and looked at Chen Xiuyu through the fence, and shouted with a smile: "Wait until I come back!"
He put his legs under the horse's belly, rode Zhui Feng forward, and trotted out.
On a long journey, I became like a warrior on an expedition!
Lu Lu missed this family very much.
Seeing that Lu Lu had been riding Zhui Feng and trotting along the main road to Meixi District, Chen Xiuqing shook the reins, rode her own horse to catch up with Lu Lu, and trotted side by side.
"Brother Lu, I...I said the wrong thing again just now, I'm sorry."
"It's good to know, Qingzi, as I said before, think carefully about what you can say before you speak. You clearly know that I don't want Xiuyu to worry...forget it, I don't blame you anymore."
"Brother Lu, I'll pay attention in the future. Are you really planning to follow the main road to Wuyi Ridge, pass through Tangwang and then to Jiayin? Anyway, my sister can't see it now, so let's turn to the mountains."
"Just follow the road instead of walking into the mountains. I promised Xiuyu. You've already spoken, especially when you mentioned Big Claw, so you can't go directly through the forest to Jiayin."
This is a very mysterious question.
Things mentioned inadvertently are often like children talking, casually speaking and accurate.
But when I deliberately looked for it, I couldn't find it.
Now Lu Lu would rather choose to go directly to Jiayin along the highway rather than get into trouble.
If they really encounter one, Yuanbao and the other hunting dogs may not dare to attack them in front of the big paws. They are beings standing at the top of the food chain, with instinctive suppression. By then, it may be difficult to control even Zhuifeng.
No matter how confident Lu Lu is in his marksmanship, he cannot be easily dealt with.
"Also, Qingzi, after you find my master from Jiayin this time, I will take you to Changbai Mountain."
"What are you going to do in Changbai Mountain? Release the mountains?"
Everyone knew that Changbai Mountain was the place that produced the most ginseng in the wilderness. When Chen Xiuqing thought about it, he knew why he was going so far away.
"Yes, go to Fangshan!" Lu Lu nodded.
After receiving Lu Lu's affirmation, Chen Xiuqing suddenly became even more excited: "That big stick is worth a lot of money."
Lu Lu glanced at him: "If you can't control your mouth, I can't take you there."
"Why, Brother Lu..." Chen Xiuqing suddenly became anxious. He really didn't want to miss this good opportunity to make money.
"When setting up mountains, we pay attention to auspiciousness. Just like the tools used, they all carry the word "kuaidang". The word "kuaidang" comes from Manchu and means quick, smooth, auspicious and congratulatory. For example, when entering the mountain
, when you encounter a snake, you should not call it Snake, but Qian Chuanzi, because Snake and Zhe have the same pronunciation, which is unlucky.
When going to release the mountain, the number of people gathered was also taboo: two, four, or five. Because the two of them had difficulty moving, disputes were difficult to resolve; four is similar to the sound of death, and five is not similar.
When it comes to palm, which is the five-leaf ginseng shaped like a palm, I would rather give up and save it for later because it is unlucky.
Many ginseng gangs who enter the mountain are most afraid that newbies will not follow the rules, talk nonsense, and mention taboo words. The ginseng leader will often turn around and leave. They give up the mountaineering, choose new people, and choose a day to go.
I am telling you all this to make you understand the importance of keeping your mouth shut."
Lu Lu spoke slowly about some of the rules for mountain climbing that he knew well, which could be regarded as giving Chen Xiuqing a vaccination in advance.
He didn't want to go all the way to Changbai Mountain and turn back just because of a word.
The more experienced the leader of the gang is, the more he cares about these things.
After all, searching for these treasures in the mountains all year round is not an easy task and is full of dangers. Everyone wants to have a good harvest.
Many rules may seem insignificant at first sight, but they all exist for a reason and should be followed.
When Chen Xiuqing heard what Lu Lu said, his expression became serious, and he suddenly stopped talking.
After a long time, he continued in a serious tone: "Brother Lu, please tell me more about these rules along the way. I will remember these rules and I will not talk nonsense when the time comes. I will think about it before talking about it."
Lu Lu glanced at him and said with a smile: "Let's go on our way first. I'll tell you more in detail when we have a rest at noon and evening."
"Okay!" Chen Xiuqing nodded seriously.
