Chapter 140 The whole family goes into the mountains together!
“It’s not difficult to catch rabbits. They have fixed burrows and fixed living habits. There are few hunters here, so it’s actually quite easy to catch them.
Except for rabbits, other animals are the same. "When Huo Jianguo said this, he seemed to suddenly remember something, his eyes lit up, he looked at Su Mei's circle of brothers and said:
"My brothers, the work you have done these days is not worth much and you can't earn many work points. I see that you are having a hard time and don't have enough clothes to wear. Why don't you follow me into the mountains to hunt now?
I have experience in hunting. I will take you to hunt pheasants and rabbits. If we are lucky enough to meet some of our friends, we can even exchange some for money, which will ensure that we have meat to eat for the whole year.
Do you want to try it?
On this day, Huo Jianguo was thinking about how to reasonably help Su Mei and her family improve their living conditions. He thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a good idea. Now that he caught this rabbit, Huo Jianguo suddenly thought of hunting.
He thought that if his brothers-in-law could follow him into the mountains to hunt, he could not only solve their food and clothing problems but also allow them to earn a small extra income.
In this way, Su Mei's family can be said to have improved their lives by their own hands, and his mother will certainly have nothing to say.
This is a good idea. Huo Jianguo thinks that if he can do this well, Su Mei will definitely be happy. He glanced at the dim room. On the lattice windows of the room, a chubby shadow was projected on it, looking particularly naughty and cute.
Huo Jianguo's invitation to hunting soon received support from several of his brothers-in-law.
They are all young people and still have a competitive spirit. When they heard Huo Jianguo say that he wanted to go to the mountains to start a big gang, several brothers-in-law were already ready to make a move.
Men all have the ambition to conquer nature.
Of course, the most important thing is that when Su Mei's brothers separated from their family, they were in debt before they could build the yard. They were poorer than each other, and there was not enough food at home, so when they heard that they could hunt to improve their lives, none of the Su brothers hesitated.
So, the next day, the Su brothers, who had always been hardworking, went to the brigade together to ask for leave.
After asking for leave, Huo Jianguo did not lead people into the mountains immediately, but took several brothers-in-law to make preparations before entering the mountains.
From hunting tools to food and accommodation, Huo Jianguo had made adequate preparations.
Hunting is a long-term battle. It is difficult to find suitable prey if you go out early and come back late, so Huo Jianguo plans to take Su Mei's brothers deep into the mountains, find a place to rest in the mountains, and then start scouting for prey.
After Su Xuanhu learned that Huo Jianguo was going to take his grandsons hunting, he also packed up his things and said he would follow them into the mountains to collect herbs.
He usually collected herbs in the nearby mountains and forests. Although most of the herbs could be collected, some rare and precious herbs could only be found deep in the mountains.
Because of his old age, it was inconvenient for Su Xuanhu to go out alone, and he did not dare to go too deep into the mountains and forests alone.
Besides, he didn't make any money from practicing medicine, and he was embarrassed to trouble the young people to accompany him to collect herbs, so he hadn't collected any herbs that he liked for a long time.
Now that there was an opportunity to go out and collect herbs, Su Xuanhu naturally would not miss it no matter what.
Wherever Su Xuanhu was, Su Mei would naturally follow closely.
In this way, the grandfather and grandson joined Huo Jian's hunting team.
On a sunny morning, the family set out from home, walking in the breeze, and headed deep into the Tiger Rock Mountain beside the Gangcun River.
On the way, a group of people were cutting weeds on the road as they walked.
This walk took a full half day.
Although the others were tired, their expressions were still okay. Only Su Mei was panting and looked extremely tired.
Amid the gurgling stream, a group of people stopped by the flowing water.
The stream here flows out of the cave. Although it is a cold winter, the stream flowing out of the mountain stream has a gentle temperature.
Su Mei dragged her tired body to the stream, bent down, scooped up the cool stream water with her hands, and gently washed her face.
The stream water flowed through her fingers, taking away the dirt and fatigue on her face. She closed her eyes, feeling the coolness and purity of the stream water, thinking that this pristine scenery was not as scary as she remembered.
After traveling through time for a long time, Su Mei found that she gradually began to like this simple life. She had not missed the Internet for a long time.
Su Mei opened her eyes, took a deep breath, and then scooped up a handful of stream water and drank it. The stream water was sweet and delicious, moistening her dry throat. She felt her body gradually regain some strength, and her mood became cheerful.
At this moment, Huo Jianguo walked out of the deep pool at the bottom of the stream holding a wooden stick.
He didn't know when he took off his cotton pants, leaving only his autumn pants inside. His trouser legs were rolled up high. He was walking barefoot in the stream, holding a few fat wild fish with punctures in their bodies in his hands.
Everyone looked at Huo Jianguo in surprise. No one thought that he could catch so many fish just by taking a break.
It was just a few fish. For soldiers who needed to survive in the wild, this was a routine operation that couldn't be more routine. Noticing the admiring expressions of the crowd, Huo Jianguo smiled and said:
"I never thought there would be wild fish in this deep pool. I caught a few and plan to take them into the mountains to replenish my energy when I go hunting."
Seeing Huo Jianguo catch so many fish easily, Su Shengxue's confidence increased immediately. He stared at the fish in Huo Jianguo's hand and said:
"Even if we can't catch the bear, it's worth it if we can catch a few more fish. Why didn't I know there were fish here? I went hungry for so long!
Su Mei, you said that you are useless, but the man you found is really good. "
Since Su Mei came home, Su Shengxue has been always finding fault with her. Su Mei knows that Su Shengxue is just being mean, so she doesn't give in and responds to him with a smile:
"At least the man I found is useful. Unlike some people, his sister has been married for three years, but he can't even find a wife!
Damn! Tsk tsk tsk, you old bachelor!"
