Aunt Su watched them leave and hurried out to ask, "Where are you going?"
Zhao Guihua: "It's not rare for the whole family to have a holiday, so we go out for a spring outing together. The weather is so good in spring, so we still have to go out more."
She said with a smile, "You guys aren't going out, are you? I think you can't stay at home all day. It's easy to get sick. The kids play in the alley all day, so they should go out and relax."
Aunt Su smiled weakly and said, "We have a lot of work to do at home, but it's nothing compared to yours."
Zhao Guihua: "No, it's almost the same for everyone. Besides, the difference in work is not just one day or half a day."
They went out together after they finished talking. Aunt Su looked at them and bit her lip in jealousy. She couldn't understand why Zhao Guihua lived better than her, as they were both human beings. Her husband was not dead, and her son was thriving, but she was just... She clenched her fist tightly.
Curse his family and let them fall to death when they leave the house! "Sister Su, what are you doing? Eh? Isn't that Zhao Guihua and her family? Where are they going?"
Aunt Su: "They went out for a spring outing."
She sighed and said, "Life is good now, it's comfortable, I can do whatever I want, but I can't do anything now. Others go on spring outings during the holidays, but we have to stay busy at home during the holidays."
When the old man heard this, he said quickly, "It's just going out for fun. It doesn't cost anything. Come on, call your kids and let's go out together. What's so great about a spring outing? It doesn't cost anything. Why are you so upset about this?"
Old man Bai felt that Aunt Su was a simple and honest person, so she would be upset when others showed off this. In fact, what was the big deal? There was nothing at all.
He smiled and said, "Don't think this is a big deal. Wait for me to clean up, and then we'll go to the pond. I'll find a fishing rod and we'll go fishing. What do you think?"
Aunt Su: "Is this too much trouble for you?"
"It's no trouble. What's the point of talking to you about trouble?"
These words touched Aunt Su's heart, and she said, "Well... OK then."
As soon as they finished speaking, they saw Aunt Wang leading her daughter and two children out the door. Aunt Su quickly stopped them and asked, "Are you going out too?"
Aunt Wang: "Yes, it's not that Hu Tou is going on a spring outing. My Li Junjun and Li Weiwei were so anxious when they heard about it. They kept saying that they also wanted to go on a spring outing as a family. Children love to compete with each other. If we don't take the children out to play, they will feel embarrassed. My old man and son-in-law don't have the time. They have to work overtime at the factory during holidays. The leader is hosting a banquet at the factory, so they have to go. So, my mother and I took these two monkeys out together. We plan to go to the zoo to see the animals, which is also great."
Her eyes fell on the door of Zhao Guihua's house and she said, "Oh, is Guihua out now? They left quite early."
She said, "Then we'll leave too."
When the four of them went out together, they saw Uncle Lan and his wife also went out.
Aunt Su was shocked: "You old couple are also going on a spring outing?"
Damn it, isn't spring outing something for kids? Is it appropriate for someone this old to go on a spring outing? Lan Sihai was not very willing to greet this Aunt Su, but as a newly arrived young wife... oh no, an old wife, Luo Xiaolian said, "Let's go to the park to row a boat today."
Actually it can't be called a spring outing, but it's almost like that.
Aunt Su saw it and was very glad that she had agreed to go out with the old man. Otherwise, if everyone went out and only their family stayed at home, wouldn't it seem that they couldn't keep up? Although the conditions were average, Aunt Su thought that her family was not bad in any way.
She was just about to show off that her family would go out, but when she saw Zhou Qun's family of three also coming out, her eyes popped out: "Is your family going out for a spring outing too?"
Mrs. Zhou Li was wearing her newest dress, her hair was combed meticulously, and she even smelled fragrant, which was due to the application of cold cream.
Aunt Zhou snorted and said, "What do you care?" She said nothing else and walked out with a proud look on her face.
Zhou Qun whispered: "What do you have to say to her?"
He completely looked down on the people in their yard. They were really useless and could only watch the fun. It was better not to have such neighbors.
A neighbor who can't help is not a good neighbor.
He snorted coldly and said, "Go."
Of course, they were not out for a spring outing. Zhou Qun's affairs were not going well. Jiang Lu's parents had been trying to get her divorced. Zhou Qun knew this and was very unhappy. But he also knew that he had to dissuade his father-in-law from this idea.
Not only should I dispel this idea, but I should also allow him to continue to help me.
Only by helping himself can he rise to the top. Otherwise, the current situation will be very unfavorable to him.
He even brought his mother with him this time. Although his mother was not a good person, she was very kind to him, and old people were also very suitable for playing the victim. So Zhou Qun did not hesitate.
Zhou Qun's family did not explain why they went out, but Aunt Su firmly believed that they were taking advantage of the holiday to go out and play, and she was even more jealous for a moment.
I originally thought that only Zhao Guihua's family was going out, but I didn't expect that every household had their own activities. I don't know when these people made the decision and why they didn't tell her at all.
Fortunately, his family also made a temporary decision, otherwise it would be embarrassing. Aunt Su raised her voice a few degrees: "Lao Bai, are you okay? We have to go too."
Lao Bai rarely felt Aunt Su express her intimacy in such a direct and outward way, and he was instantly overjoyed.
"Okay, okay, we can leave now."
He asked: "Struggle, will you come with us?"
Bai Fendou turned over and said, "I'm not going."
He has been very lonely recently, and his mood is not so good. This is not because he is hypocritical, but because he is really in a bad mood. He has no idea about finding a partner. How can he feel comfortable? In fact, his indifference to Wang Xiangxiu during this period is not because Wang Xiangxiu treats him badly. He can understand Wang Xiangxiu very well. It is just because Wang Xiangxiu has to take into account the reputation of both of them. He knows that although there are some unseemly rumors outside, he knows that Wang Xiangxiu is a good woman, a particularly good woman. She is very loyal to her husband.
But he still took the opportunity to ignore Wang Xiangxiu. Sometimes, it's not that he doesn't love her.
But I can't love.
He wanted to be with Wang Xiangxiu, but it was very difficult.
Just like Old Man Bai had a problem with Wang Xiangxiu, he also had a problem with Aunt Su, thinking that it was Aunt Su, the mother-in-law, who dragged Wang Xiangxiu down. It was difficult for him to be with Wang Xiangxiu, and he didn't want to fall behind Zhou Qun. They were both young men from the same compound, and everyone else had found such a good one. If he found a second-married woman with a child, he would always be unhappy.
So even though he didn't want to do this, he still didn't get close to Wang Xiangxiu. He just hoped that this time someone would introduce him to a perfect woman.
He doesn't ask for perfection, he only asks for nine out of ten. This should be easy to achieve, right?
Bai Fendou covered his face and lay on the bed, feeling depressed because he couldn't find his wife. The old man called him twice again, and seeing that he didn't move, he said, "You really don't want to go, let's go fishing together, maybe we can improve our lives. Look, look, no one in the yard is at home, everyone has activities, and you are the only one at home, how embarrassing it is."
The old man also heard what they said just now.
Bai Fendou: "None of your business."
The old man snorted coldly: "Do you think I am happy to take care of you?"
Since Bai Fendou was not going, he ignored his son and just said, "Let me use the bicycle."
"Here, here, here."
Bai Fendou threw the car keys to his father and continued to wander in his mind.
The old man went out quickly, humming a little tune, and ran to his beautiful girl... Oh no, old woman.
Wang Xiangxiu was splashed with water by Mingmei yesterday, and she was still in a bad mood today. She looked at her three sons jumping and skipping to go out, and said, "You guys go, I won't go. It's a rare day off for me, I'll clean up the house, clean the windows and so on."
Aunt Su: "That's fine."
After a pause, she whispered, "Bai Fendou is not going either. You go and comfort him. Don't let him get out of our control."
Wang Xiangxiu nodded and agreed.
She had to do this. If she didn't, how could her son live a good life, eat well and use good things? That required money to support him. She had no other way. Other men were not as selfless as Bai's struggle and dedication. She could only hold this man in her hands.
At this time, she was a little resentful of the ghost. If it weren't for the ghost, she and Zhou Qun would have been very good friends.
Although Zhou Qun is a man who only lasts for three seconds, she doesn't expect to get any happiness. Money is good enough for her.
She sighed, wondering if she had a high chance of winning Zhou Qun back. Although she didn't like Zhou Qun, she had to admit that he was the most generous man she had ever met. The others were still not good enough.
She was somewhat interested in Zhuang Zhixi, but Zhuang Zhixi was not someone who was easy to get along with, and such a young man did not seem to understand the good of a plump woman like her. She was somewhat familiar with this point, after all, she was still very concerned about whether a man's eyes were on her.
Obviously, this one doesn't have it.
She has it so hard.
"Pay attention, if you want to catch Bai Fendou, it will only take a few minutes, right?"
Aunt Su thought her daughter-in-law was unhappy because of Bai Fendou, and she was also unhappy. What she feared most was that her daughter-in-law really fell in love with Bai Fendou. However, for the sake of this fat sheep, she could only cheer her daughter-in-law up. Although Wang Xiangxiu and Zhou Qun had only broken off their relationship a few days ago, she could already feel the tightness of the family's expenses. Bai Fendou was generous.
The same goes for Zhou Qun. Losing Zhou Qun is also a loss. Zhou Qun is not good at other things, but he is really good at taking action.
He earns a lot and the money is in his own hands, more than ninety yuan a month.
Oh, how can I spend so much money? As long as I say nice things, I can get the money.
For a moment, Aunt Su thought again, why not just flirt with Zhou Qun? Wang Xiangxiu and Zhou Qun were broken up, so she could go after him. Anyway, Zhou Qun liked older people, so it didn't mean he couldn't like her.
But this thought was fleeting, she couldn't afford to lose face with that person.
Besides, Zhou Qun was a bit vicious, so she didn't want to provoke him.
"Anyway, you should find a way to make more money. The weather is getting warmer, and the child must make a set of clothes by himself, right?"
Aunt Su kept putting pressure on Wang Xiangxiu.
Wang Xiangxiu nodded: "I know."
Seeing that she had listened, Aunt Su smiled and went out.
Today is the second day of Labor Day, a rare holiday. There are almost no people in their yard. Everyone has gone out, even some young wives are not at home to clean up the house. Wang Xiangxiu suddenly feels the quietness of this yard.
It is so lively on weekdays, and it was so lively this morning too, with a noisy and busy atmosphere, but now it has become dull.
She sat alone in the room, deep in thought...
People in the compound went out one after another, and at this time Zhao Guihua and her group had already reached the suburbs. During the holiday, many people came into the city from outside, but few went out from the city. So the car was not too crowded.
Zhao Guihua and Zhuang Laonian led the children off the bus together. Zhuang Laonian carried a bucket with a small bucket inside. Zhao Guihua held a child in each hand, holding them tightly. Hu Tou and Xiao Yanzi were both wearing short-sleeved clothes. The two children were unhappy in the bus and even looked listless after getting off the bus.
Zhao Guihua led the two children to the shade of the tree and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Are you carsick?"
The child hummed softly, and Hu Tou and Xiao Yan Zi leaned against Zhao Guihua. Zhao Guihua said, "They haven't arrived yet. Let's sit down and rest for a while. It's a good time to wait for them."
There is still some way to go up the mountain, so it's a good time to take a break.
She sat down and poured the water in the kettle to the children. The two children each drank a little and sighed softly.
Tiger Head said dejectedly, "Grandma, you came so far."
The children always thought it was great to be able to go out, and that it was too much for the adults to not take them with them every time. But this time they didn't think so. The children almost lay on the ground. Tiger Head: "It's so tiring to ride in the car."
Zhao Guihua: "What do you think? Do you think we deliberately didn't bring you out? We are taking a car, and you are like this. If you ride a bike, you will be even more tired. You must be hot and thirsty from the sun."
In fact, if the two children had come here on bicycles, their condition might not be worse than it is now. They were mainly a little carsick. In fact, it was not because of tiredness, but the children couldn't tell.
Zhao Guihua knew that they were carsick, but she didn't tell them. If they knew it was just carsickness, they would definitely follow her next time. For this kid, you need to use some tricks appropriately.
The two children sat on the small stone unhappily. At this time, Xiaoyanzi suddenly called out: "Mom and Dad!"
From a distance, I saw the two brothers of the Zhuang family riding their bicycles with their wives coming over. The weather was a bit hot today. Even though they went out very early and did not go out under the sun, they were still sweating.
Zhuang Zhixi waved from afar: "Hello, comrades."
The corners of Zhao Guihua's mouth twitched. This naughty child, does he think he is three and a half years old? But Hu Tou and Xiao Yan Zi were very responsive to their uncle. They immediately jumped and shouted, "Uncle! We are here."
Zhuang Zhixi had long legs and rode over quickly. He stretched out his legs and asked, "How is it? Do you feel okay?"
Tiger Head yelled, "Uncle, we are not feeling well. I feel sick and want to vomit."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Ah, then when we go up the mountain later, if we catch something delicious, won't you be too nauseous to eat it?"
Tiger Head immediately said: "Then I'm fine, I can still eat a little."
This kid doesn't always say what he wants.
Zhuang Zhixi sneered and said, "You are a glutton."
The little swallow grumbled, "We are children, and children are all greedy. If we weren't greedy, we wouldn't be children anymore."
This kid is still very confident.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Oh, you are better at making excuses than your brother."
The little girl didn't know what quibbling was, so she scratched her head and said, "Uncle, don't criticize me, I'm very good."
Mingmei burst out laughing and said, "Now that everyone is here, shall we continue up the mountain?"
Tiger Head and Little Swallow looked at the lush green forest and said, "Do you still want to go?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Of course, what else do you think?"
He looked at the mountain road and said, "It's still a long way to go."
This road up the mountain takes at least an hour. It would be faster if they just rode a bike, but they definitely couldn't do that with children.
Zhao Guihua: "Okay, let's go."
"Set off!"
Tiger Head and Little Swallow imitated each other and said, "Let's go!"
The whole family went up the mountain in a mighty procession.
Tiger Head and Little Swallow rushed to the front, just like a set loose puppy.
But the puppy was just a puppy after all, and it couldn't walk a few steps before it died. Fortunately, there were bicycles, and the two children sat on the back of the bicycles. Zhuang Zhiyuan and his wife each pushed one bicycle, pushing the children.
Zhuang Zhixi walked at the end, holding his wife's hand.
Xiaoyanzi asked: "Uncle, why didn't you push me?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "You are your mother's son, what's the matter? You feel sorry for your mother and want me to do labor? Don't even think about it!"
Xiaoyanzi scratched her head in confusion, not knowing what her uncle meant, but she knew that her uncle didn't want to push the cart, so she breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she preferred her mother to push the cart, because her uncle and aunt would always ask questions that made children feel embarrassed.
Whenever the children couldn't answer, they would laugh.
Very bad.
With everyone's concerted efforts, they walked for an hour and finally reached the pond in the mountains. Logically, they shouldn't have brought their children here, but Hutou and Xiaoyanzi were not too old, and the two children could still listen to the adults.
Normally, if they are not allowed to speak, they probably won't speak.
Even if they told the story, no one would believe the child. It was normal for a child to brag. And it took a long time to get here, so the child couldn't even find it.
It was for this reason that Zhao Guihua thought of bringing them here for a walk, so that the two little ones wouldn't have to yearn for how great it would be here all day long.
Zhao Guihua led everyone to a familiar place. Hu Tou and Xiao Yan Zi jumped off their bicycles and opened their eyes wide: "Wow."
There is also a small lake in the mountain.
Both kids were shocked.
Hu Tou quickly asked: "Grandma, can we fish here?"
In the past six months, his family has eaten fish more often, so Hutou still has some ideas.
Zhao Guihua: "Of course."
Zhuang Laonian proudly put his hands on his hips and said, "I'll do it, my grandfather is very good at fishing."
Zhuang Laonian, who always had no sense of existence, stood up at this time.
When it comes to fishing, he is the undisputed boss of the dealer.
No doubt about it.
Zhao Guihua snorted, but did not expose Zhuang Laonian's words. She said, "Your grandfather really knows how to fish."
Zhuang Laonian: "Grandpa went fishing, let's grill the fish, ok?"
Tiger Head's eyes lit up: "Okay."
The little swallow was also spinning in circles and waving her hands, she was just happy.
Zhao Guihua assigned tasks: "Two people in a group. I will definitely be in the same group with your father. We will stay where we are. We will be responsible for fishing and collecting firewood. If we have any harvest, we will grill the fish here. Oldest brother, you two will go east; third brother, you two will go west. There are many ripe fruits now. Pick them when you see them. It's good to catch pheasants and rabbits if you can, but it doesn't matter if you can't. Safety first."
This is still the same old thing, but it still needs to be said.
After all, she is the head of the family.
"OK."
"I think so."
They all had no objection. Zhao Guihua said, "This is really the mountain, not your home. There are always some unknown risks. You should be careful of snakes, insects, rats and ants. There are a lot of these things. Also, remember the way. Don't walk around and find nothing. You will get lost and we will have to find you."
"Mom, look at what you said. We won't do that no matter what."
"That's right, you look down on me, don't you?"
Zhao Guihua responded with a laugh.
"Grandma, what about us?"
The child doesn't know what to do with himself.
Zhao Guihua: "You two should stop following me into the woods and stay here, okay?"
"Can."
"I'd love to be with my grandma."
Zhao Guihua nodded: "That's about right."
The three pairs of people quickly separated. Zhuang Laonian had not been here many times, but he was very experienced. After all, there were many fish here, and he caught a lot every time. As soon as the two groups separated, Zhuang Laonian's fishing rod started to move.
Zhuang Lao Ni: "Oh, a fish has taken the bait."
"Where is it?"
"Wow!"
"Grandpa is awesome."
"Grandpa is the best."
"We have a big fish."
The two kids were flattering each other loudly and were extremely happy.
Zhao Guihua: "These two little things!"
She asked, "Will you come with me to collect firewood, or continue watching the fishing here?"
“Look at the fishing!”
In unison, fishing is rewarding, of course it depends on the fishing.
Zhao Guihua told her husband: "Watch them, don't go into the water."
"Okay~"
They had a smooth start, and the same was true for Zhuang Zhiyuan and his wife on the other side. Not long after they walked, they actually saw a wild cherry tree. Although the wild cherries were small, they were already red. In the early years when there was a pigeon market, old farmers in the countryside would pick them and bring them to the city to sell.
Although this thing is not valuable, it can still be sold.
Children buy a bowl to eat and eat, and adults buy it to soak in wine, which is the best. However, the pigeon market has been banned in recent years, and they rarely go to the black market, so they didn't pay attention to whether this kind of thing is still sold in the black market.
Liang Meifen was happy: "Come on, let's pick some more to take back. Although this one is a little sour, it's delicious. If I could have a bowl of wild cherries when I was a kid, it would have been a great thing."
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "Eat something."
Priscilla Leung: "Let's take it back. We still have children."
If he were with his sister-in-law, he would definitely eat alone, but since her own child is here, she will definitely not do that.
Zhuang Zhiyuan laughed: "Look at what you said, aren't the cherries on this tree enough for everyone to eat? We can just eat a few, which is not a big deal. I'll try one."
He picked up a few and put them in his mouth, saying, "They're quite sour."
"How can wild cherries not be sour? If they are not sour, can they still be called wild cherries?"
"That's right."
Both of their groups had gained something, but Zhuang Zhixi and his group didn't. The young couple walked a long way forward. Mingmei said, "Today's harvest is average. We didn't even see anything."
Zhuang Zhixi: "It's okay, this is quite normal. It's impossible for us to gain something every time we come here."
"But I think we should at least see rabbits. My grandpa told me that rabbits are very shameless and will continue to reproduce as long as they have the chance. So in the most difficult years, they were the most caught game. Although they run fast and are not easy to catch, they are very numerous. Fewer people go up the mountain now, so why can't we see any rabbits?"
Zhuang Zhixi was actually quite puzzled. You know, they had a great harvest last time, but this time there was nothing at all.
Not having it is completely different from having it but not catching it.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Who knows what's going on? Let's walk around and take a look. Be careful. We encountered a big snake last time."
Mingmei: "You think it's easy to meet that thing. Although it's really scary, it's not easy to meet it."
This is true. Although this thing is very dangerous, it is impossible to say that it is everywhere in the mountain.
Mingmei: "There is another possibility."
Zhuang Zhixi: “What?”
Mingmei said seriously: "I think there might be some fierce animals here, so rabbits and pheasants won't run over here."
She wasn't just talking nonsense, she was indeed a little suspicious.
It doesn't make sense that they had such a rich harvest last time but nothing this time.
Mingmei: "I think there really is a possibility that there are more powerful animals, so these weak animals are scared and dare not appear here."
She suddenly said in horror: "Will there be tigers, lions, bears, blind men, leopards?"
The corners of Zhuang Zhixi's mouth twitched and he choked with sobs.
He married a stupid wife.
Just this, do you think it's possible? This is a small hill on the outskirts of the city.
suburbs!
Hill!
Not the northeast, not the southwest.
Tiger, lion, bear, blind leopard?
Excuse me, what beautiful things are you thinking about?
How could such a rare animal exist here?
Is this small hill on the outskirts of the city worthy of your ownership?
Ahaha!
It's not that Zhuang Zhixi is optimistic, but this location is definitely not a place where such rare things appear. Even though they have been here for quite some time, this place is still within the scope of the city. A snake might be able to hide in such a place.
But if you say there is a tiger, someone in the village not far from the city would have reported it long ago.
Perhaps Zhuang Zhixi's expression was too shocked, Mingmei said angrily: "Why, you just don't believe me."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Do you believe it yourself?"
Mingmei's eyes flickered and she said, "Why can't I believe it?"
She snorted and said, "I think..."
"Wait a moment."
Zhuang Zhixi suddenly spoke.
Mingmei looked up: "What's wrong?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Did you hear any rustling sounds?"
Mingmei tilted her head slightly. Zhuang Zhixi said, "Listen carefully."
Mingmei was silent for a while, then said softly, "It seems so."
This was not a joke, she really heard the sound. Mingmei immediately thought of what she had just said and said softly: "Don't scare yourself."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Let's find a place to hide first, in case something goes wrong."
He still remembered what happened when they met the big snake. Although he exchanged money for them, he really didn't want to think about it at all. The two looked at each other and immediately found a more suitable position.
Well, a convenient location for escape.
"What do you mean?"
Zhuang Zhixi asked his wife Mingmei in a low voice: "Why don't I climb up the tree and take a look, maybe I can see something."
Zhuang Zhixi: "No, it's just like a snake coiled on a tree."
Mingmei: “…”
She looked carefully and said firmly, "No."
This stuff is really scary.
She climbed the tree decisively. The trees here were much easier to climb than the trees on the roadside in their city. Usually, people didn't go to such a high mountain to cut down trees, so the trees were very lush and had many branches. Mingmei found a fulcrum and climbed up the tree.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Be careful."
"knew."
Mingmei replied crisply, then put her little hands on her eyelids and began to look around, mainly to see the direction from which the sound came.
"What?"
Mingmei: “I didn’t see it.”
She was high above the ground and her vision was much broader.
"If there is nothing, we should just leave here. Things that are uncertain..."
“Fuck!”
Mingmei's voice suddenly came, and the girl Mingmei let out a shocked roar.
Zhuang Zhixi: "What's wrong?"
Mingmei: "I, I, I, I saw a wild boar."
No wonder there are no small animals here. Maybe everyone has gone away to avoid this wild boar.
But do wild boars eat rabbits and pheasants? I don't know.
But that didn't stop Mingmei from speculating like that.
She was really shocked and kept saying, "Why are there wild boars on this mountain?"
Zhuang Zhixi immediately asked: "Is it far from here? Come down quickly, let's leave."
If this was a wild boar, Zhuang Zhixi really wouldn't dare to fight it. Although the venomous snake was very powerful before, there was still a glimmer of hope if you didn't get bit by a snake. But this wild boar was different.
This wild boar is different from a domestic pig. It has been living in the forest for a long time, crawling around and rolling around, so its skin is very thick.
Even if they had kitchen knives, they might not be able to chop the pig. The blade would probably split the pig, but the pig would not. Besides, the wild boar still had fangs. Zhuang Zhixi said firmly, "Come down quickly, let's leave."
He had no desire for such a horrible prey.
The prerequisite for coveting prey is that people have complete crushing capabilities. If not, then he does not agree with this at all.
Mingmei didn't try to be brave and said, "Okay, let's go back quickly and tell everyone. I think we have to be careful when my mother-in-law comes over next time. This place is really not very safe. I thought there was nothing, but now I see there are quite a lot of things."
They have encountered ferocious animals twice.
But it was amazing that Zhao Guihua had never encountered such a ferocious animal when she came here by herself. But Mingmei had only gone up the mountain twice, and encountered it both times. She slid down from the tree, muttering, "I have some unresolved fate with them."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Who knows?"
He supported Mingmei who had come down and said, "Let's go quickly."
Mingmei: "Don't worry too much, it's still a little distance from here."
They really have sharp ears. If they had discovered it after walking in, it would have been dangerous. It's not so bad now. In fact, there is still a long distance, and there are trees in the middle. The wild boar may not be able to come over.
Mingmei sighed: "It would be great if we had a hunting rifle, then we could kill it in one go. It looks quite fat, it's pork."
Zhuang Zhixi: "No. Don't be impulsive, follow me."
Mingmei followed with a smile. She didn't really want to kill the wild boar, she just wanted to satisfy her desire. But she didn't expect that Zhuang Zhixi actually took it seriously. Was it because she was too arrogant in her daily life? So Zhuang Zhixi believed it a little.
She hooked Zhuang Zhixi's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go back and report the news, then change direction and continue..."
"Bang!"
A noise was heard, followed by several more in quick succession: "Bang, bang, bang."
Not only this sound could be heard in the distance, but also the sound of wild boars.
Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei suddenly stopped in their tracks and stood still.
Someone is hunting wild boars!
Mingmei quickly realized what was happening and said, "Someone opened that."
Without saying a word and without waiting for Zhuang Zhixi to say anything, she quickly climbed the tree again, just like Monkey Brother's second junior sister.
She immediately looked in the direction of the wild boar. After all, it was obvious that this sound was most likely to be used to deal with the wild boar. She quickly climbed up the tree and looked over. From a distance, she saw several half-grown boys, about 17 or 18 years old, surrounding the wild boar.
They were quite well prepared.
The wild boar had fallen to the ground and was killed directly.
Mingmei: "Oh my god, someone actually brought this thing up the mountain. I wonder whose naughty kid this is."
Zhuang Zhixi also started to climb the tree at this time. Although he was not as good as Mingmei, he was not completely useless. He was always worried because of his wife's retelling. Zhuang Zhixi's skills were not very good, and he climbed very slowly, but he still decided to see the situation on the scene with his own eyes.
Mingmei continued to broadcast with Zhuang Zhixi upstairs.
She continued, "They were so happy that they jumped up and down, but they didn't look like kids from the mountains. They looked more like the children of the rich families."
These days, you can tell a lot about someone just by looking at their clothes.
Zhuang Zhixi said as he climbed: "That's normal. There aren't many hunters in the suburbs here. You think this is in the mountains."
"They are making a rack, and it seems that they are going to carry the wild boar down the mountain. This wild boar looks quite big, and they are in for a treat." Mingmei was very envious, but it was just envy, not jealousy. His family didn't have such high-end weapons, and if they just relied on a kitchen knife. Needless to say, Mingmei didn't believe that she could do it, it was simply impossible. It was unrealistic. She was a kung fu master, not a thunderbolt invincible woman.
Mingmei: “That’s great.”
Zhuang Zhixi sighed, "I can't envy them. They have weapons in their hands, so it's normal for them to kill wild boars. We are unarmed, so how can we beat it directly? We can't. Wife, you are already very powerful, so let's not dream of the big wild boar. If we have the time, we might as well look for wild rabbits and pheasants later. They are in urgent need of our care."
Zhuang Zhixi comforts his daughter-in-law.
Mingmei nodded: "That makes sense, huh?"
She raised her doubtful voice again and said, "They cut off the pig's tail and trotters and threw them away. These prodigal children, this is meat, why do they just throw it away like that?"
She felt so distressed as if it was her own pig.
Deeply sad.
Zhuang Zhixi was also startled and asked doubtfully: "Cut it off?"
Mingmei took the lead: "Yes, they kept chopping the pig. I saw it all. Uh, they tied the pig up again and went on their way. But just now it seemed that a kid wanted to chop off the pig's head as well. But he was stopped by the others and didn't agree."
Zhuang Zhixi was also puzzled and muttered, "Why?"
It's very confusing.
At this time, he finally climbed a distance and was able to enjoy the view of Mingmei. When he saw the teenagers, he smiled and understood why they did this. He said, "They cut these because they were afraid they wouldn't be able to carry them down the mountain. They try to reduce the burden as much as possible."
He paused and said, "I guess they must have considered cutting off the pig's head, but they probably kept it as a medal to prove that they were capable of killing a wild boar."
Zhuang Zhixi felt that his guess was almost right. These boys didn't look like young men at all. He could tell at a glance that they were fourteen or fifteen years old. Fourteen or fifteen years old boys were carrying and watching a wild boar weighing more than 200 kilograms down the mountain. Even if they were in large numbers, they would still suffer.
I have to say that they are quite smart to give up some trivial details.
Rather than suffering for a long time and stumbling and unable to get the pig down the mountain, it is definitely better to leave it like this. If they could discard the pig's head, which has little meat, it would be better, but it is obvious that they are reluctant to do so. They can only discard the tail and pig's trotters.
Poor pig's tail, it's so tiny and doesn't take up much weight. It's really bullying the tail.
However, these teenagers, who are fourteen or fifteen years old, don't really understand what adults in their twenties are talking about.
Zhuang Zhixi: "What a waste! Pig's trotters are delicious. They are delicious when cooked and dipped in soy sauce. They are also delicious when they are a little burnt and sprinkled with chili powder. If they are cut into pieces, they are also the best to stew with radishes. The taste is really amazing. Let me tell you, if we had pig's trotters at home, we could definitely make..."
Ah, I can't say anymore. The more I talk, the more greedy I become.
Slurp! Really, it tastes especially good no matter how you think about it.
He was already drooling.
Mingmei said softly: "When my sister-in-law gave birth, she also used pig's feet to help her produce milk. She stewed the pig's feet with soybeans, roasted them over high heat, and simmered them over low heat... Well, it was so delicious. Even the soybeans inside had a delicious meaty taste, and at the same time had a little bit of the unique fragrance of beans. It's no worse than meat at all."
The two greedy ghosts looked at each other, and suddenly Mingmei said, "Let's go over and pick up some bargains."
Zhuang Zhixi also spoke at the same time: "Let's go over and pick up the bargains."
These two people spoke almost in unison, they really are a couple who are in perfect sync with each other.
The two laughed in unison again. Mingmei said angrily, "I didn't expect you to think the same as me. Then let's go now? They threw their things away, which means they don't want them anymore. If we pick them up, it won't be a waste."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Supplies are very tight right now. Now that we have seen this, we cannot be the ones who waste pig's trotters. We must cherish every grain of food and every piece of meat."
The two people spoke with righteous words, but in fact, they were just greedy.
The two of them swallowed their saliva. Mingmei said, "Hurry up, hurry up and get down here. Otherwise, if other animals take us away, our trip will be in vain."
"good."
Although Zhuang Zhixi climbed the tree slowly, he became more agile when he heard there was food. He came down smoothly and sat on the ground without feeling any pain. He got up quickly, patted the grass on his body, and said, "Let's go. Do you know the way?"
He doesn't know the way as well as Mingmei.
Mingmei nodded proudly. This person doesn't know the way. Is she still a comrade from a driver's family? Impossible! She waved her hand and said proudly: "Follow me!"
The two of them didn't care about anything else and rushed to get this good stuff. This was a good thing that couldn't be bought even in the grocery store. If they saw it and missed it, they would be the biggest fools in the world.
Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei, holding hands, can be described as a couple of mountain knights. They run at a whirlwind speed, not afraid of tiredness or hardship.
Pig's trotter, here I come.
Pigtail, here I come! Go!
