Qinghuan left. These past few days, Li Qingyun had no energy to do anything. She was always daydreaming and even dreamed that Qinghuan was beaten at the Li family.
In order to divert her attention, Gu Tingzhou said he would take her to the mountains to catch wild game.
Li Qingyun was very excited.
Gu Tingzhou's legs can now walk on their own without crutches. They look much better now, so it should be no problem for him to go to the mountains.
She also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nothing happened. Otherwise, she would not have the ability of the heroine in the novel to give him surgery or something like that.
Gu Tingzhou made preparations for hunting in advance. He cut down two old bamboos and sharpened them into many sharp blades.
I made a slingshot like the ones children play with, and then went to the riverside to pick up a lot of small pebbles.
The next morning, after sending Dabao off to school, Li Qingyun prepared some rolls, put them on a plate, and took Erbao to the old house.
Yesterday, Gu Tingzhou agreed with his mother that he would help look after the baby for a day while he and his wife went up the mountain to collect local products.
When Li Qingyun arrived, Gu's father had already taken his elder brother and sister-in-law Gu and their family to collect mountain products. There had been less work in the fields recently, so every household had to go collect mountain products to store food for the winter.
Gu's mother took Da Ni and Er Ni home to pack mountain products.
Da Ni is eight years old this year and Er Ni is six years old. They can help with many chores.
I handed my second baby to the old lady and repeatedly taught her how to make milk powder. I left the child's clean pants and diapers and left, looking back every few steps.
Seeing the old lady looking a little confused, it really makes people feel uneasy, but there is nothing we can do. There is no one at home to look after the child. Although we can put him in a separate place, it will be easy to be exposed, so we can only temporarily hand him over to his grandmother for a day.
Dani saw her worry and said, "Second Aunt, don't worry. I remember it. Add six spoonfuls of milk powder to one hundred and eighty parts warm water, shake well and feed. Grandpa taught us numbers, I know them all."
"Good girl, you are so well behaved. When you come back in the evening, your aunt will pick up your brother and bring some fruit candies to you and Erni." Li Qingyun touched her head and smiled.
After returning home, Li Qingyun packed up the remaining burritos, put them in a lunch box and threw them into the space, and then filled the two kettles in the space with water.
The knives, hoes, sickles, etc. at home, along with the tools prepared by Gu Tingzhou, were all put into the space. What if they were useful? Anyway, there was no need to carry them.
Gu Tingzhou also took his walking stick. In the mountains, this stick not only saves energy but also can be used to explore the way. It is the most useful one.
After breakfast, the two men set out with light luggage and backpacks on their backs.
Gu Tingzhou used to hunt frequently. At the end of every year, the village would organize a large hunting team to go hunting in the mountains, and he would participate whenever he was in the village.
On the one hand, hunting in this way is for meat, and on the other hand, it is to reduce the number of animals that destroy crops in the coming year, especially wild boars, which can also be regarded as a contribution to ecological balance.
Part of the hunting proceeds was handed over to the commune, and part was retained for distribution to each household.
Based on past experience, he chose a mountain road that was not easy for people to walk on.
This road has few mountain products but many wild animals, and is rarely visited by people. People without some skills dare not set foot on it.
The wild animals in the mountains can be deadly if they go crazy. Gu Tingzhou relied on his skills and courage, and with Li Qingyun's cheating space, he dared to give it a try.
There are several people in the family, and they have to eat meat every day. We rely on buying meat, and the meat in the space is really a drop in the bucket.
So Gu Tingzhou came up with the idea of hunting. In the past, he had to hand in the meat after hunting, and he could only get a small share of it, which was boring. If he was caught hiding the meat, he would lose face and have to hand it in.
It’s different now. With Li Qingyun’s space, isn’t it easy to bring back some prey?
And more importantly, his wife has been listless these past few days, which makes people depressed. He wants to change her mood and cheer her up. Every time she comes back from picking mountain products, she looks silly and happy, so he knows that she must like hunting wild game as well.
Sure enough, Li Qingyun was cheerful along the way and hummed an unknown song.
The two walked along the path for a long distance. Gu Tingzhou used his crutch to lead the way in front. He was highly concentrated, his eyes fixed on the ground, and he looked up from time to time.
"What's the reason you're staring at the ground?" Li Qingyun asked curiously.
"I'm looking for a rabbit hive suitable for digging traps. Usually, rabbits are active at night and rest during the day.
If you want to find rabbits in the morning, you should look for feces or paw prints. If there is a lot of feces and paw prints, it means there are many rabbits nearby and there are rabbit nests.
"Oh, is that so? Did you find it?"
While the two were talking, it seemed that they disturbed some animal. There was a gurgling sound in the grass cage. Gu Tingzhou's body reacted very quickly. Almost instantly, he took out the slingshot and pebbles he carried with him.
In a flash, a colorful chicken-like animal flew out of the weed cage.
Gu Tingzhou ejected a small stone and predicted its flying direction. The next second, a sharp scream was heard, and it was hit by the small stone and lost its ability to move and fell down.
Gu Tingzhou hurried over and caught it, and tied its wings with a special method, which dazzled the onlookers.
"Gu Tingzhou, have you practiced before? It's amazing, is it so accurate?"
When he took the slingshot and stones yesterday, she knew the function of this thing. She thought to herself, why is it just like a child playing house? She didn't expect that this thing can actually be used to catch wild game. It's incredible.
"It's a pheasant. We have a lunch for today." Gu Tingzhou smiled happily and threw the pheasant, which was only breathing its last breath, into the backpack on his back.
