Only now did Chen Xiuqing truly understand what it meant to be a married girl, what about the water thrown away, and what about her own brother?
For Chen Xiuyu, it's not that his elder brother is unimportant, but that Lu Lu is more important than him. After all, they are going to spend a lifetime together.
The horses have been selected, and Chen Xiuyu is focused on Lu Lu. Chen Xiuqing can only blame herself for her lack of vision.
Lu Lu greeted Zhao Tuanqing and Chen Xiuqing into the house, and then went to the kitchen to help Chen Xiuyu. It didn't take long for the food to be served.
Those mine bees had been soaked for many days, and Lu Lu poured some out specially.
Bee wine has the effect of strengthening the body and treating rheumatism, but it is medicinal wine after all and should not be drunk too much.
Lu Lu tasted it briefly, and even Chen Xiuyu drank a little. Seeing that Zhao Tuanqing was not happy, Lu Lu poured him some more Laolongkou and asked Chen Xiuqing to drink with him.
After finishing the meal, it was already dark.
Chen Xiuqing rode his horse back to Xiushan Village directly, but Zhao Tuanqing drank too much, so Lu Lu could only send him home in person and chat with Zhao Yongke for a while before returning.
When Lu Lu returned home, Chen Xiuyu had already taken a bath and was drying her long hair in front of the kitchen stove. The water boiling in the large iron pot on the stove was prepared for Lu Lu.
While helping Lu Lu scrub his back, Chen Xiuyu asked excitedly: "Brother Lu, are we leaving early tomorrow morning?"
It was rare for Lu Lu to take her on a trip, and Chen Xiuyu was looking forward to it extremely.
"Let's take a day off tomorrow. I still have to go find Uncle Wang and Brother Feng to get a certificate. Let's go there by car."
Taking Chen Xiuyu out instead of Chen Xiuqing, Lu Lu did not plan to travel on horseback, but planned to go to Yichun City by car, which would be less bumpy and safer.
By the way, I also visited a few places I passed by.
If you want her to gain some knowledge and take her to the wilderness, then what's going on?
"Now I have bought a horse. When I come back from the farm, I will teach you how to ride a horse."
"good!"
"Also, haven't you always wanted to learn to shoot? I went out this time and picked up a gun to teach you how to practice."
Until now, Lu Lu has been worried about two things.
The first thing was that Chen Xiuyu encountered a blind bear in the mountains, unarmed.
Another thing is the matter between Li Qingxiang and Zheng San.
If Chen Xiuyu was carrying a gun, wouldn't he not have to take such a long-term risk when encountering a blind bear?
If he was not in Caodianzi, and Li Qingxiang, a second-rate man, came to Caodianzi to take revenge, would Chen Xiuyu have more ability to protect herself if she had weapons?
Thinking that Li Qingxiang had come to Caodianzi to spy on him without his knowledge, Lu Lu felt a chill in his heart.
Although the blind bear's bear bile has been sold, and Li Qingxiang's two poles have been solved, there is no guarantee that Chen Xiuyu will not encounter other wild animals when entering the mountain in the future, and there is no guarantee that no one will make plans in this meadow.
Lu Lu now feels that it is necessary for Chen Xiuyu to master the skill of using a gun so that she can have a certain ability to protect herself when encountering danger.
Hearing that Lu Lu was going to teach her how to shoot, Chen Xiuyu became more and more excited and shouted happily: "Okay, okay!"
"Why are you so happy? I'm not asking you to learn how to use a gun and then go hunting. I'm just asking you to have a certain ability to protect yourself when you encounter powerful wild beasts when you go into the mountains to collect mountain products. Also, in our meadow,
The location is too remote, so there’s no guarantee that no one will make any plans. If something happens, you’ll be able to fight back. I’ll stress it again, I’m not teaching you how to use a gun just to let you go hunting!”
Lu Lu was worried that his bold daughter-in-law would go astray after learning how to use a gun: "I want you to have the ability to protect yourself, rather than letting you encounter more dangers. You promised me before, no."
For hunting.”
"knew!"
Chen Xiuyu's excitement suddenly dissipated a lot.
Seeing the disappointed look on her face, Lu Lu frowned: "You can't listen, right? Then I won't teach you anymore!"
"I heard it, I heard it!"
Chen Xiuyu became anxious when she saw Lu Lu suddenly repenting: "I promise that I will never take him into the mountains for hunting without your permission. I will only use it to protect myself."
"That's pretty much it!" Lu Lu nodded with satisfaction.
But Chen Xiuyu then asked: "Brother Lu, how can you still pick up a gun when you go into the mountains?"
"Isn't this normal? I picked up the gun your brother used to shoot the bear," Lu Lu said with a smile, "Things in the mountains are complicated!"
Chen Xiuyu nodded and wiped Lu Lu's back. After wiping, he stopped and said, "Brother Lu, you said you wanted to teach me how to ride a horse and teach me how to practice a gun. Let's just go there on horseback. You can ride on the road."
, you can practice shooting while letting the horse rest. This is something you can do on the way, and you can also save travel expenses, accommodation expenses, etc. Maybe along the way, we can catch up and make some money.
.”
Lu Lu's mouth twitched when he heard it: "You still want to hunt!"
"No, I just want to save money."
Chen Xiuyu said with a smile: "Look at the six dogs at home, especially Yuanbao. The other puppies also eat what I feed, but Yuanbao only eats what you feed. Isn't it appropriate to keep them at home? And Zhui Feng
, except for you and me who can step aside, no one else dares to touch it, and take it with you along the way, we can take care of everything, how wonderful!"
Hearing this, Lu Lu couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
It takes a lot of time to come and go...
Zhui Feng left it on the meadow and didn't need to worry about it, but Yuan Bao, from beginning to end, really ate except what Lu Lu fed him. He didn't even smell the corn noodles cooked by Chen Xiuyu when it was brought to him. He insisted on Lu Lu picking it up and putting it back again.
Only when you are in front of it will it be willing to eat.
Yuan Bao only recognizes Lu Lu as his master.
"Brother Lu, actually I heard my dad talk a lot about hunting when I was a kid, and I also heard a lot from people in the village. I'm very curious about what real hunting is like, so I took this opportunity to take me out and have a look.
Only by being with you can I have such an opportunity.
Every time I come back, I hear you talk very relaxedly, but I can see that you are actually very tired and in danger every time. Let me follow you there, just to help me fulfill my wish to take care of you.
!I just want to accompany you to experience some things that you have experienced but I have not experienced, even once, otherwise, I will always feel that there is something wrong."
After Chen Xiuyu finished speaking, she sighed softly.
Lu Lu looked back at her and saw her serious look. He didn't know what to say.
He just felt that there was a soft place in his heart, and he was touched again. The feeling was indescribable, and the word "touched" was not enough to describe it.
Lu Lu took a deep breath and nodded slightly.
After taking a bath, the two of them warmed themselves in front of the stove, dried their hair, and went to bed early.
Chen Xiuyu spent a lot of time grinding rice in the past few days, and Lu Lu also spent a lot of energy on this trip. The two of them almost went to the kang, and they were too lazy to move.
Before he could even say a few words on the bedside, Lu Lu already heard the even and long breathing of Chen Xiuyu in his arms. After smiling slightly, he put out the oil lamp.
The next morning, Chen Xiuqing rode his horse over, and saw Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu riding horses on the meadow. From a distance, one was black and the other was green. Not to mention, it was really pleasing to the eye. I don’t know why.
He felt that it was destined that he did not choose Qingma.
Zhao Tuanqing heard that the coat color of green horses is better for hunting in the snow, but when he thought about it carefully, even Zhao Tuanqing and Zhao Yongke were riding Oroqen horses that were walking, so he felt that it was nothing.
I have to say that after he rode this Oroqen horse, he felt that it was completely different from the one he raised at home, especially when climbing hills and hills. It was really exciting.
Seeing Chen Xiuqing outside the fence, Lu Lu ran over on Zhui Feng and opened the fence gate for him.
This fellow was good at treating Caodianzi as a pasture, and drove the horses into Caodianzi with a slap on the horse's butt. Then, like Lu Lu, he watched Chen Xiuyu running wildly on a green horse in Caodianzi.
Chen Xiuyu was very smart. After Lu Lu briefly explained the horse riding skills, she understood that this was a process of controlling her body to coordinate with the horse's running movements. After several attempts, she quickly became very good at it.
I have to say that this Oroqen gelding is indeed very docile. The next thing Chen Xiuyu has to do is to adapt.
Thinking of the thick calluses on his thighs caused by riding Zhui Feng, Lu Lu estimated that Chen Xiuyu would suffer from it next.
There are calluses on my thighs... Lu Lu always feels a little weird.
Well, it's better to be soft.
It seems that when going to find Raymond this time, he has to walk slowly to let Chen Xiuyu get used to it slowly, otherwise, the feeling to the touch may not be good...
Chen Xiuqing came to give Zhao Tuanqing horse money, so Lu Lu simply asked him to bring Qingma money with him.
After riding the horse for more than an hour, even with a saddle, Chen Xiuyu couldn't bear it. When she got off the horse, her legs were shaking.
Seeing her sitting on the wooden pier in front of the cellar, hammering and squeezing her legs, Lu Lu wanted to laugh: "Well, do you still think horseback riding is fun? Let's go to Bird's Nest Island by car."
"
Chen Xiuyu suddenly became stubborn again: "I don't!"
Lu Lu ignored her and just found cotton cloth, took out the sack containing the semi-automatic parts, spread it out on the grass in front of the cellar, and wiped it carefully.
Chen Xiuyu also came over curiously.
Taking this opportunity, Lu Lu also explained the structure of the semi-automatic to her and taught her how to assemble it.
Since you want to use a gun, maintenance, assembly and calibration are all things you should know and master.
Chen Xiuyu studied very seriously, and after Lu Lu demonstrated it three times, she was able to complete it very well.
During lunch, Chen Xiuqing came on time.
"I thought you would stay at Brother Zhao's place for dinner!"
When Lu Lu opened the door for Chen Xiuqing, he said with a smile: "Do they have nothing to do at home? Why did you play there for so long?"
"Who said I was playing over there? Brother Zhao and Sister-in-law Unakan are tanning bear skins for you. Only then did I know that they need to be stretched over the fire to make the skin bigger and smoother.
, even Father Zhao helped with it, the four of us spent a lot of time and effort, and it was even more tiring than me doing farm work."
Chen Xiuqing shook her head as she spoke.
Lu Lu also didn't expect that manual tanning would be so laborious. He was afraid that it would take a lot of time for his family to tan the leather, so he would need to be compensated!
While eating, I heard that Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu were going to the mountains to practice shooting in the afternoon. Chen Xiuqing immediately refused to leave and insisted on following them.
Lu Lu brought a lot of bullets, and the three of them were not far away.
After one afternoon, Chen Xiuyu mastered the aiming skills of the gun, but after spending twenty or thirty rounds of bullets, Chen Xiuqing sadly discovered that the accuracy of her shooting was not inferior to that of his brother, who had been playing semi-automatic for a long time.
Even Lu Lu was a little shocked. Chen Xiuyu's talent was so good. It was like playing with a slingshot. Chen Xiuqing had been practicing for a long time, but his daughter-in-law surpassed him in just a few days.
Lu Lu couldn't help but think that if she lived forty years later, she would be a very good huntress.
The day passed quietly. In the evening, Lu Lu specially sent two kilograms of tiger bone wine to each of Wang Demin, Zhang Shaofeng and Jiang Zewei, and also opened the certificate.
Although you are planning to travel far on horseback, you should still bring proof of travel to be prepared.
When Lu Lu returned home, the couple spent more than half an hour packing their luggage and getting ready. The next morning, taking advantage of the cool weather, they set off early.
Chen Xiuqing also came here very early. Before Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu came back, he would stay in Lu Lu's Caodianzi during this period.
He waited expectantly for Wang Yan to come to Caodianzi.
As a result, what he didn't expect was that Wang Yan came, and her mother came with her!
He suddenly became depressed: Where was the promised solitude?
