After harvesting the wool, the snake corpse cannot be wasted.
This snake is big enough, and after cleaning out the internal organs, there is still three to four kilograms of meat.
Li Yu simply cut off half of his body and hung one half on the beam of the bedroom. The remaining half scraped off the snake scales, chopped it into pieces, and made snake soup directly.
There is no seasoning in it, just a little salt for seasoning.
After it is cooked, the tender snake meat is rolled up with snake skin, and there are oily flowers floating on the surface of the snake soup.
After taking a bite, he found that although the taste was a bit bland, it was still very fresh, especially the pieces of snake meat, which were tender, juicy and trembling. He was very satisfied eating it in his mouth, and Li Yu almost swallowed it with his tongue.
Compared to the bland and coarse brown rice and wild vegetables, this snake meat is simply extremely delicious!
Eat all the snake meat and drink all the soup.
After washing the dishes and putting them away, closing the door, Li Yu got into bed.
Thinking of the evil-looking white shadow he saw on the road when he came back from the town, Li Yu was frightened and put the hatchet next to his pillow.
Although the hatchet may not be able to deal with evil spirits and the like, it can at least provide him with a sense of security.
Li Yu estimated that it should be ten o'clock now. If it was in his previous life, he would be lying on the sofa at this time, holding his mobile phone and browsing short videos comfortably.
However, in this world, except for making babies, there seems to be no nightly entertainment activities that the poor families at the bottom of society like to see.
And staying up late is not a good habit either.
Keeping the quilt in place, Li Yu fell asleep in a daze.
Nothing happened all night.
In the next few days, nothing special happened except that Lang Wu's body was taken away and buried by the villagers of Guojia Village.
However, Li Yu has not been idle these days. Before it snowed heavily, he took a hatchet and chopped a lot of dry firewood in the back mountain, and piled it neatly in the corner.
By the way, I also made some simple traps, trapped a pheasant and a rabbit, and caught a few hibernating snakes, toads, etc.
As for the harvest of corpses.
It can only be said that it is not worth mentioning.
Moreover, with the help of Yang An, Li Yu simply cleared a small field in front of Yizhuang and planned to plant some fruits and vegetables next spring.
Li Yu understood clearly that he should be content with what he has come to. Since he has come to this world, he should integrate into it as soon as possible.
In addition, the female ghost from a few nights ago still makes Li Yu feel uneasy and frightened.
He also wondered whether he should learn some martial arts, Taoism, etc. to enhance his strength and protect himself.
However, let’s not talk about the illusory Taoist and magical powers. When it comes to martial arts, Li Yu only knows that in these eight villages, apart from the yellow catcher and the fast catcher Laoqutou in the town, there are only a few hunters in the mountains who have learned it.
A little martial arts. The only remaining one is Li Datou, the pig butcher in the town. When he was young, he was a dart boy and learned a few rudimentary moves.
As the saying goes, the poor in culture and wealth in military affairs.
If you want to learn martial arts, you must first have money. At least you must ensure that you often eat meat and supplement nutrition, so that your body can become stronger.
Otherwise, even if you are lucky and learn martial arts from a martial arts school or escort agency, if you don't have enough meat and nutrients, over time, your blood energy and potential will be overdrawn, and you will be completely useless.
If we were in a modern society with abundant supplies, this would naturally not be a big problem.
But in this environment where they don't even have enough to eat and can't eat meat a few times a year, it's almost impossible for ordinary people to support a warrior.
Only a few wealthy households in the countryside and local wealthy people may be able to support one or two serious warriors.
If warriors want to go further, they will also need precious medicinal materials such as tiger bones, snow lotus, leopard fetus, ginseng, bear bile, etc. to nourish the body, replenish vitality, and strengthen muscles and bones.
These are all inferred by Li Yu based on what the old cripple once said.
It is not easy for Li Yu to learn martial arts.
First of all, he has no money, and secondly, where he can go to learn martial arts is also a problem.
"If I can get the corpses of a few warriors, after they are buried, I wonder if I can extract the martial arts from those warriors."
Such a thought suddenly flashed through Li Yu's mind.
On this day, Li Yu had just gotten up, had something to eat, and was sitting at the door basking in the sun when he saw a group of people with heavy faces coming from a distance, several of them carrying thick and long wooden sticks in their hands.
Behind these people, there was an old man with a haggard face and gray hair.
"This is the old shopkeeper of the tavern."
Li Yu's eyes narrowed and he quickly stood up to greet him.
Coming to the old shopkeeper, Li Yu gave a slight salute: "Junior Li Yu has met my father-in-law."
The old man was getting older, and he was out of breath after walking a long way up the mountain. There was sweat on his forehead, and he waved his hand: "Brother Li, you're welcome. Today I'm here for my unfilial son."
After saying that, he choked a little, his two old muddy eyes were filled with tears, and he was filled with sorrow.
Li Yu sighed in his heart and didn't know what to say.
I pity all the parents in the world.
For parents, there is probably nothing more tragic than a white-haired person giving away a black-haired person.
When they arrived at the yizhuang, the old shopkeeper asked someone to push the coffin open. Seeing Chen Zhuo's stiff and lifeless face, he was silent for a moment and suddenly slapped him.
Snapped!
A crisp sound!
This slap hit Chen Zhuo firmly on the face.
After finishing the smoking, the old shopkeeper burst into tears and suddenly collapsed: "What an unfilial son!"
Everyone was silent and allowed the old shopkeeper to vent his anger.
After a while, the old shopkeeper managed to regain his composure, straightened up tremblingly, and then waved his hand for people to close the coffin and carry it away.
After the coolies carrying the coffin had gone away, the old shopkeeper stuffed a palm-sized cloth bag into Li Yu and patted him on the shoulder:
"Thanks to my little brother for taking care of my son these days, this is the old man's kindness."
Feeling the heavy cloth bag in his hand, Li Yu's heart moved slightly and he said: "Old shopkeeper, is this too much?"
The old shopkeeper waved his hand, turned and left.
"And one more thing."
When he walked to the door, he turned back briefly and looked at Li Yu with a steady look: "The cause of my unfilial son's death has been found out. It was my nephew who did it. He has been arrested by the town's police detective."
"From now on, the matter is settled. Let's say goodbye."
After that, he staggered away.
Only Li Yu stood there thoughtfully.
After a long while, he shook his head and sighed: "Jiang is still old and hot. Fortunately, I covered it up before and didn't reveal my true face. I didn't expect that the old shopkeeper would still see it. Well, I might have guessed it."
Think about it, after all, this old shopkeeper has been in business for most of his life. He has never seen any kind of person. He is also an experienced person. It is not surprising that he can see something.
Opening the cloth bag, there were several pieces of broken silver and copper plates inside, and Li Yu suddenly smiled.
He roughly weighed it and found that these were about two taels of silver, which was a considerable sum of money.
This world uses precious metals such as gold, silver, and copper as currency.
One tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver, and one tael of silver is equal to one thousand penny, that is, one tael.
In addition, the purchasing power of this penny is stronger than the one dollar Li Yu had in his previous life. It can buy a large meat bun with plenty of ingredients, a bunch of candied haws, or two thick pancakes.
With this money, Li Yu can survive this winter safely.
