Chapter 47: Burning Eyes
This statement seems too coincidental.
But if you think about it carefully, there seems to be nothing that can better explain the abnormal fact that "two little girls can beat three wolves" than this unexpected coincidence.
Xia Youtian looked back frequently, but no wolves appeared behind him, and they all returned home safely.
After entering the fourth room, Xia Youtian discovered that Lihua and Daohua had a few rabbits tied around their waists.
He sighed deeply and said dejectedly:
"Good boy, let's not go into the woods anymore, okay?"
Daohua said nothing. Lihua looked at Daohua, then at Xia Youtian, and asked stubbornly, "Why?"
Xia Youtian sighed again and looked at the two children's faces with a vicissitudes of life:
"Don't you know what kind of personality your mother has?
You encountered wolves this time when you went into the mountains, but luckily you survived. Next time, you might encounter wild boars or tigers...
Can you guarantee that you will be so lucky every time?
If anything happens to you, wouldn't that be like tearing out your mother's heart?"
That's true.
Jiang cried silently all the way.
At this moment, not only was her face covered with tears, but even her collar was wet.
Lihua glanced at Xia Daohua. She had a vague feeling that this girl might not give up so easily. Xia Daohua hesitated for only a moment and nodded:
“Okay, let’s try not to go into the woods anymore.
However, if we can’t go into the forest, there will be no prey, so we have to find other ways to make money!
I want to go to the market in town with my dad and learn how to do business."
After hearing this, Jiang immediately objected:
"Don't go anywhere. Have you forgotten the story I told you about the beggar? Stay home quietly and don't cause trouble for your father! If you go with him, your father will either sell things or keep an eye on you!"
Lihua widened her eyes. She had seen Daohua's abilities with her own eyes. Would Daohua be angry after being rejected like this?
Xia Daohua smiled helplessly: "Okay, I'll think of another way."
The sound of the family dragging back their prey and talking to each other seemed especially loud in the quiet night.
Although the fourth family tried to lower their voices, they still disturbed the other families nearby.
They were all a little curious and a little sleepy, and couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied when they saw that the fourth room kept talking.
Sun opened her throat and yelled, her voice as sharp and sarcastic as ever: "What the hell are you doing? Talking in the courtyard in the middle of the night, can't you let me sleep?"
Mrs. Wu didn't say anything. She didn't want to talk to Mrs. Sun now. But Xia Youxi had already turned over and sat up. If the fourth brother's family didn't keep quiet, he would have to go over and see what was going on.
Cheng tied her hair up in a bun and put on her coat. When Linghua came back and called Xia Youliang to help in the fifth room, she had just taken off her bun and hadn't gone to bed yet.
Xia Youliang was called away. She was worried about him, so she sat up and sang a lullaby several times to put Liu Lang and Zao Hua to sleep, but she herself couldn't sleep.
As soon as she stepped into the outer room of the fourth room, she saw three wolves and was immediately frightened:
"Oh my, this guy! This is too scary! Are you guys all right? Are you injured?"
Xia Youtian and Xia Youliang answered in unison: "It's okay, it's okay, no one was hurt."
The conversation between the few people made others more curious. Old Master Xia also came over, wearing slippers and holding a pipe. He pushed open the door and asked, "What's going on?" He looked down and saw the three wolves: "Oh my! This is incredible!"
Old Master Xia smiled happily. After confirming that no one was injured, he praised the two girls, Lihua and Daohua:
"Good boy! You are worthy of being my Xia family member!"
Xia Youtian and Jiang suddenly felt a little amused.
The old man's praise made the couple's cooperation today go in vain. Lihua and Daohua, the two daring children, were so proud that they lost their minds and climbed up the roof every day!
Old Master Xia squatted down happily and touched the largest wolf:
"This wolf's fur is so smooth and shiny, it's really good! Wolf skin is really good, it can keep out the cold and the heat. I'll make a wolf skin mattress for you later, it'll be the best to use in winter, so you don't get cold legs!"
Yes, that’s right! Wolfskin mattresses, dog-skin hats, sable coats, fox-skin cloaks, and deerskin boots are all famous specialties of Beiguan Town.
Such a complete wolf skin is hard to come by.
If you come across one and are willing to sell it, you can get a pretty good price.
If you are reluctant to sell it, you can make a wolfskin mattress at home and give it to the elderly and children. It is also a very good thing.
"This wolf meat is also a good thing! Wolf meat is hot in nature and can dispel cold poison. After eating wolf meat, you won't be afraid of the cold. Moreover, wolf meat can nourish the five internal organs, strengthen the stomach and intestines, strengthen bones and dispel wind!"
Old Master Xia looked very excited and listed everything like the back of his hand. The fourth family and the fifth couple were all stunned.
I haven't heard that the old man also knows medical skills? !
Old Master Xia noticed everyone's surprise and boasted happily:
“When I was young, I knew a great ginseng collector, and he told me all this.
I've eaten wolf meat twice before, and it was really hot. After eating it, my whole body felt like it was on fire! I was wearing a quilted jacket with big holes in it, but I was sweating all over! "
Old Master Xia was beaming with joy, very proud, and happily distributed the tasks:
"We can use this wolf meat for our family first, there's no rush to sell it!
Especially your mother, when she was young, she never used hot water to wash clothes in order to save firewood.
Her hands were so cold that they were deformed and her joints were swollen. Now that she was old, the pain was excruciating, but she always endured it and never said a word.
"Old Fourth, keep all this wolf meat for your mother, and I'll pay you for it later!"
The topic suddenly changed, and Xia Youtian almost stumbled. As soon as he reacted, he quickly refused:
"Oh, Dad, what are you talking about! My mother ate some of my wolf meat, and I can still ask you for money? What kind of person am I then?"
Old Master Xia grinned and laughed even more happily:
"Okay, I knew you were a filial person!
You guys should eat some too. Children, especially girls, should eat more. Girls, eating something warm is good for your health.
However, you brothers only need to eat one meal, and save the rest for your mother so that she can eat it slowly.
I think if she eats this over the winter, the cold poison in her body will be eliminated a lot."
The old man's expression was one of joy and relief, as well as a little luck and satisfaction, which made Xia Daohua feel that what he said was serious.
Xia Daohua really didn't know whether wolf meat had so many benefits. After all, in the world she came from, wolves were protected animals and could not be eaten.
After arranging the ownership of the wolf meat, Grandpa Xia fixed his eyes on the rabbits.
Good night, sweet dreams!
