Duo Shou said sourly, "You're already eating so much. If your appetite increases any more, won't you become a glutton?"
Damn it, it's one thing for Duolu to be better at martial arts than him, he can use his medical skills to compete back, but Duolu eats more and is stronger than him, it's infuriating.
Although Duolu is usually rendered powerless by Duoshou's medicine, he still doesn't submit to Duoshou. He usually obeys and doesn't go up the mountain, but at home, he often goes against Duoshou.
Duo Shou is very quick-witted in front of outsiders, but he often freezes up when he's with Duo Lu.
In response to several provocations from Duolu, Duoshou also retaliated.
The two started arguing more often, with one saying something and the other immediately retorting.
Doro: "Just tell me if the food at home is good or not. If you don't like it, I can eat it for you next time."
Duo Shou choked for a moment and said, "I don't usually eat as much as you do."
In order to improve his martial arts skills and prevent Duoshou from taking the drugs faster, Duolu increased his training time and expended more energy.
Duoshou also had to devote some attention to medicine, so he used his brain more, but he didn't expend as much energy as Duolu, who spent more time practicing martial arts, and therefore ate less than Duolu.
Duolu boasted, "That's because my martial arts are better than yours."
Seeing that the twins were about to start arguing again, Yu Rujia gave each of them a flick on the forehead: "You're talking about cured meat, do you still want to eat it or not?"
Dorjee replied loudly, "Eat."
Not to be outdone, Duoxi raised her hand and answered, "Auntie, I want one too."
Gao Shujing: "I don't think I need to go out to buy the meat I need to make cured meat this year. Duofu has been practicing his skills for so long, it's time for him to have a proper competition."
Duofu, who was a little over six years old, practiced martial arts for two or three years. Apart from sparring with a few family members, he had almost no opportunity to fight outside.
People raised in a greenhouse can never be truly great, no matter how skilled they are. Gao Shujing knew this well, which is why he decided to take Duofu into the mountains so that he could encounter some formidable opponents.
Although there are fierce prey such as jackals, wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountains, there are also some relatively easy prey to hunt, such as wild boars, deer and sheep. Gao Shujing plans to take Duofu into the mountains to hunt these less dangerous prey.
Yu Rujia guessed some of his thoughts: "You want Duofu to go into the mountains?"
This way, Duofu can get some exercise, and the problem of having meat for making cured meat at home can also be solved.
The little ones in the family have bigger and bigger appetites; they'll need at least a few hundred pounds of meat to get through the New Year.
Even with connections, it wouldn't be easy for Gao Shujing to obtain several hundred kilograms of meat without exposing the space.
Gao Shujing: "There's not much going on in town lately, so we'll head into the mountains early. At our pace, it'll only take a few hours round trip, and we can get back by morning without delaying our afternoon repairs. Just in case, Guojing will come along too."
Before Duofu could even speak, Duolu excitedly jumped out and said, "Uncle, I'll go up the mountain with you."
Gao Shujing refused without even thinking: "You're still young. Train for a few more years, and when you're as good as your older brother now, we'll take you into the mountains."
Doroku retorted, "I once killed a wild boar with Doshou and Doki. Now I'm even stronger. If I encounter a wild boar, I can kill it all by myself."
Yu Rujia flicked him on the forehead: "You still dare to bring up that incident? Haven't we taught you a lesson enough?"
They only hunted wild boar once, got injured, and almost scared them to death, yet they still dared to bring it up. They really deserve to be taught a lesson.
Duo Lu felt a little guilty and quietly moved closer to his big friend Gao Guojing.
Duolu: "Auntie, I haven't hunted wild boars since then."
He wanted to fight the wild boar again, but his plan was abruptly thwarted by Duoshou's few doses of medicine.
Yu Rujia: "If you rush at a wild boar without our permission again, I will have Duoshou poison you every day so that you can't even leave the house."
This punishment is too harsh. Duolu felt that he would definitely suffocate if he didn't go out. He hung his head and wondered if he should try to learn medicine. He couldn't keep being controlled by Duoshou's medicine forever.
Duolu, the most energetic child, quieted down. Duoshou and Duoxi envied Duofu for being able to openly enter the mountains, but they wouldn't bring it up at this crucial moment.
Gao Shujing: "You three don't need to be disappointed. When you reach Duofu's age, if you pass the martial arts test, we will take you into the mountains as well."
These words made the three little ones' eyes sparkle, and they all prayed in their hearts that this day would come soon.
Yu Rujia turned around and went back to her room to get a short sword.
Before marrying Gao Shujing, she took out some things that she might need in the future and put them in a large box.
There were more than a dozen lightsabers inside, as well as daggers and some other rare items.
Yu Rujia handed the short sword to Duofu: "Take this sword with you when you go into the mountains tomorrow. Be careful when you use it, and don't hurt yourself."
Duofu's current height only allows him to wield a short sword; he can't handle a long sword.
When they practice their moves, they usually use either bare hands or wooden swords. This is the first time that Duofu has been able to openly use a weapon other than a wooden sword.
Duofu's icy expression softened, and she took the short sword with bright eyes, saying, "Thank you, Auntie." As she spoke, she gently stroked the short sword, her affection for it evident.
Gao Shujing: "Duofu, get some rest early tonight. We'll get up early tomorrow morning and head into the mountains."
Gao Guojing patted Duofu's little shoulder: "Duofu, Uncle Guojing is very strong. You can go for the prey, I can take it all."
Duofu nodded his little head and said, "Yes, I will definitely bring back lots of meat."
Duofu had been doing housework for two or three years and knew very well how much meat his family consumed every day. Even if it was several pigs, his family would never have trouble finishing them.
The little guy's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, as if he were imagining fighting wild beasts in the mountains.
At four or five in the morning, Gao Shujing got up and took Duofu and Gao Guojing, who had been excited all night, up the mountain.
On his first trip into the mountains, Duofu's eyes darted around busily. When he encountered two large and four small wild boars, Duofu asked Gao Shujing for permission to take action.
Gao Shujing said, "We won't have to worry about wild boars in the mountains. Let's continue deeper and pick out deer and sheep first."
Kao Kuo-ching: "Yes, venison and mutton taste great whether you use them in hot pot, barbecue, or stir-fry; pork is readily available, so we'll prioritize venison and mutton."
The last time I had hot pot was several months ago, and it's been even longer since I've had barbecue.
If we manage to catch deer and sheep today, they can arrange hot pot or barbecue, no matter what.
