The purpose was to keep people, horses and dogs refreshed, so there was no rush to get up the next morning.
However, I still couldn't get a good night's sleep.
Just when the genius was beginning to dawn, Yuan Bao suddenly spoke up.
Almost instinctively, several people suddenly woke up, each picked up the semi-automatic that had been placed aside, and when they got out of the tent, they vaguely saw two people carrying baskets on their backs, quickly emerging from the corn field in the distance.
Yuanbao and the five dogs had already rushed up to them, whining fiercely at the two of them.
When Lu Lu saw clearly that the two people who came were Tang Liyun and his son, he called Yuan Bao back.
"What are you doing here so early?" Lu Lu frowned slightly.
Zhang Shaofeng shook his head: "I don't know... maybe he came here to give money and meat!"
"I told you I won't leave today, so there's no need to be in such a hurry!" Chen Xiuqing yawned and said, "I'll go back and sleep for a while!" Then she got into the tent again and lay down on her own bed.
Zhao Yongke and Liang Kangbo also looked at each other and got into the tent again and lay down.
Soon, Tang Liyun and his son came closer, greeted Lu Lu and Zhang Shaofeng with a smile, and then each put down their backpacks.
One of the two backpacks contained the pork belly that Lu Lu asked for yesterday. He said it would cost twenty or thirty kilograms, but judging from what the two brought, it was at least seventy or eighty kilograms. It was all good meat.
The other basket was filled with good food. Eight items were brought out, chicken stewed with mushrooms, cooked beef, mutton, and several other items that looked like delicious snacks bought from the town. There were many dishes, and the key was
The quantity is quite sufficient.
Chen Xiuqing, who was lying down, shrugged her nose and said, "There's something delicious..." Then she suddenly turned over and got out of the tent. Her eyes shone brightly when she saw so many delicious foods in front of her.
Followed closely by Zhao Yongke and Liang Kangbo, they also got up from their bedding, opened the tent curtain and looked outside.
Lu Lu turned his head and glanced at Chen Xiuqing: "Why don't you go to sleep?"
"You guys are all experts. You helped me a lot last night. I brought you breakfast this morning. Gentlemen, it's better to have a rest at my house after breakfast than to stay in the wilderness."
Tang Liyun said with a smile on his face, and took out forty yuan from his pocket and handed it to Lu Lu.
Lu Lu was not polite and took the forty yuan and said: "It's not a big deal. There is no need to be so polite. I have accepted the money and things. As for your place, we won't go there. We often
I’m used to running in the mountains, but it’s still more comfortable to live outside.”
"It's just a reward, let us, as a family, thank you very much!" Tang Liyun still didn't want to give up.
Lu Lu smiled and said, "I understand your kindness. It's really unnecessary... Since we've sent it all, let's have some together."
There are ready-made ones, which saves trouble.
As he spoke, he took the things for washing, went to the river, washed his face and brushed his teeth with cold water, and several other people followed him.
After washing up, a group of people sat around on the grass and ate together.
Tang Liyun was thoughtful and specially prepared a few bottles of Beidacang wine, making the matter quite grand.
They are all engaged in family farms, so Lu Lu asked more about the situation of Tang Liyun's family farm.
But the more I asked, the more anxious I became.
Nowadays, those who engage in contracting are all doing it boldly. In ordinary families, there is no manpower, no experience, no experience, and everything has to be spent.
Tang Liyun finally made an appointment with a few people, but in the end, he couldn't bear the hardship and they left before the crops were planted.
The whole family can only hold on day and night.
If you are really too busy on weekdays and ask someone for help, you have to pay the money first, otherwise others will worry that you will default on your payment and you will not be able to get anything out of you.
The good thing is that I raise more than a hundred stupid chickens at home, and I have to rely on selling eggs and chickens to support myself. Even the two pigs raised at home have been resold, and the family has been without food for almost three months.
Meat has been served.
Yesterday, we brought back so much wild boar meat that the family finally had a good meal. By the way, they used the pork as a favor and hired help with harvesting.
After saying this, Lu Lu looked at the fine wine and food placed in front of him and suddenly felt a little unbearable: "Didn't these wine and food cost a lot of money?"
"Not a few bucks!"
Tang Liyun smiled honestly: "Thank you for helping me get rid of these scourges. I am willing to spend more money. Although the wheat has been ruined a lot by wild boars, judging from the current situation, more than half of it will be spent."
If we harvest every month, we can make some profit."
Lu Lu nodded slightly and asked again: "Will you still plant it next year?"
"If I can still make some money this year, I will only make more next year. However, I will no longer plant wheat. I will plant corn like the surrounding areas. This way, wild boars will not harm my family!"
Tang Liyun smiled reluctantly.
At this moment, his son reached out and crooked Tang Liyun.
Tang Liyun turned to look at his son and hesitated: "Man, can I ask you something more?"
"You said?" Lu Lu tore up a chicken drumstick and ate it slowly.
"My son wants to learn hunting from you, can you teach him... He said yesterday that you can't protect the crops even after they are planted, and it's useless even if they are planted. I think it makes sense!" Tang Liyun looked at Lu with a face filled with expectation.
Law said.
Lu Lu thought for a moment and shook his head slightly: "It's not that it can't be taught. The key is that it's not necessary. Let's learn other skills."
In a few years, when guns and hunting are completely banned, hunting routes are cut off, and there aren't that many wild animals to hunt, everything will have to start from scratch. Lu Lu doesn't want to mislead others.
"Hunting is very dangerous and can lead to death. Just the few of us...here, we, the sixth child, who only cares about eating and drinking, were photographed by a blind bear. Fortunately, we were saved in time, otherwise, our lives would have been lost. Also,
This gunner was almost picked by the Wild Boar King. Our head and back near the neck were scratched by the lynx, and the wounds on our thighs picked up by the Wild Boar King are still there... Learn something else
Come on, this is no joke."
Zhang Shaofeng understood what Lu Lu meant and helped him speak.
Who would have known that Tang Liyun's son was also stubborn. He turned over and knelt down in front of Lu Lu: "Just accept me. I will become your teacher and I want to learn hunting from you."
Lu Lu moved aside and said, "Get up quickly!"
Unexpectedly, the boy moved again and bowed to Lu Lu again. He had just heard from Zhang Shaofeng that this man, who was not much older than him, was actually the leader of this group of people. What is the leader? That is
The most experienced person, he immediately identified Lu Lu.
"Why can't you listen to what I'm saying!" Lu Lu quickly stepped aside.
This guy turned around and bowed again. He was extremely stubborn.
Lu Lu was speechless: "If you don't get up, you will force us to leave immediately!"
When Lu Lu said this, Tang Liyun quickly patted his son on the back and persuaded him: "Forget it, don't embarrass our benefactor."
His son was stunned for a moment and had to sit aside with a disappointed look on his face, his head sullen and silent.
Liang Kangbo, Liang Pao from Huilongtun, was on the side. There were many people who came to seek his apprenticeship. Chen Xiuqing was one of them. Seeing Lu Lu winking at him, he immediately understood. He smiled lightly and said to the two father and son.
: "Hunting is not as simple as you think. I won't go into detail about the deadly poisonous insects and beasts on the mountain. This is a hard job.
When you get to the mountains, you build a shack and a fire becomes your home. If the wind is strong, you won't even dare to light the fire. It's common to suffer from hunger. Sometimes, you won't go home for several days.
Especially in winter, the mountains are extremely cold. It’s okay to keep walking. It doesn’t feel bad. But when you find your prey, lie down in the ambush spot. In a few minutes, you won’t be able to feel your feet. Don’t even think about wearing walnut shoes.
, it will also get wet, so it is very common for us to get chilblains. Our feet are often swollen like steamed buns. If they are not treated in time, they will become useless accidentally.
I remember one time when I was hunting a roe deer, I shot it and broke one of its hind legs. The bones were broken, along with the skin and tendons. I chased the roe deer deep into the mountains for more than ten miles. When the roe deer ran,
The short leg swung back and forth. The weather was cold, and the skin became hard after freezing. I rubbed it back and forth, and the leg fell off.
I chased so far and picked up a broken leg. In the end I couldn't run anymore, so I made a shack and slept on the spot. I found the dead robe the next day. Do you think it was difficult? If the roe deer was a human, what would you say?
Danger or not?
Let’s not talk about winter, let’s just say that in this mountain, if you get injured on the mountain, and the sky and the sky are not responding, and the earth and the earth are not working, how do you deal with it? What if you get lost and can’t get out, how do you deal with it?
Also, sometimes when chasing prey in the deep mountains, the chase can cover dozens of miles or even several days in a row.
Let’s talk about food. It’s hot and cold. How many days will it take for you to eat millet porridge and fried noodles every day? Don’t think about hunting wild animals and eating meat. After a few meals, you won’t be able to eat anymore.
You can’t eat well, you can’t sleep well, not to mention the hard work, and you are still worried... It’s better to stay at home and learn something else. Being able to live a stable life is better than anything else!"
Liang Kangbo's words were not to scare him, but more to use his own experience to persuade him.
Tang Liyun's son looked up at Liang Kangbo, then at Lu Lu, and just whispered: "I'm not afraid of hardship!"
"Don't be afraid of hardship and stay at home. Let me tell you, once your dad's family farm is finished, it will be great and you can live a good life. It won't be a problem, so don't think about it."
Lu Lu said comfortingly.
Seeing that several people refused, Tang Liyun's son had no choice but to sit aside dejectedly and watch the people eat and drink.
After the meal, the father and son packed up and left. After Lu Lu fed the dog, the others got into the tent, lay down, and continued sleeping until the sun came out and the heat in the tent became unbearable.
Seeing that the weather was just right, a group of old men simply took off their clothes and jumped into the nearby river to take a bath.
In the afternoon, Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke stayed behind, and Zhang Shaofeng, Liang Kangbo, and Chen Xiuqing took their horses to the town to prepare the food needed for the mountains, including pickles, black beans, and corn to feed the horses.
After a few people left, Lu Lu took the three wild boar cubs that he had brought back last night and took care of them briefly, carefully took care of them again, removed the flower knife, and roasted them on the fire.
Several people had gone to town for a long time, and by the time they came back, the barbecue on the fire was already cooked.
Lu Lu found some wild onions and some mushrooms nearby. He cooked a pot of mushroom soup with the wild vegetables, then cut some of the beef Liang Kangbo bought yesterday, dipped it in water, and ate it cold.
"When we go into the mountains tomorrow, where should we go first?" Zhang Shaofeng asked.
"This time, we are going to several places. The first stop is Daocogou... Someone has collected sticks there. Let's go see the old sign and see if we can find it. Let's explore the situation first. That's what's in the animal skin book.
A place to record.”
Lu Lu had already made plans for where he wanted to go on this trip.
"Hasn't the animal skin book been burned?" Chen Xiuqing asked in confusion.
Lu Lu smiled at him and pointed at his head.
Seeing this, several people immediately understood.
Even Zhao Yongke, who didn't talk much, started laughing.
If you look for places with old signs, your chances will undoubtedly be much greater, at least you won't be so blind.
Several people were looking forward to this trip into the mountains.
When Tang Liyun returned home, after a busy day, he had dinner in the evening. When he was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks that he had not had time to wash during the day, he took out everything from the basket and suddenly saw more than a hundred dollars at the bottom of the basket.
The ones he gave to Lu Lu: "They didn't ask for this money... What a good person!"
His son was also looking at the money, and his expression became more determined: "I must worship him as my teacher!"
"Stop causing trouble for others. I think they are right. You are the only son in the family..." Tang Liyun shook his head and said, "Just live peacefully at home!"
However, the next morning, when Tang Liyun was about to go to work in the fields, he went to wake his son up, only to find that he had long since disappeared. Also missing with him was his new sleeve that could hold five bullets.
