Chapter 486 Splendid Countryside 16
After dinner, the three of them packed up and headed home.
Such a big hare was eaten up by the three of them.
Not to mention Lin Wanwan, Zhou Yuesheng and Qiao Dali also have big appetites.
In addition, they usually don’t want to eat meat, so now that they finally have a chance to have a feast in the mountains, everyone eats their fill.
If you eat well, you will naturally have the energy to work.
Zhou Yuesheng took over the young wife's job and walked forward pulling the wooden rack.
Qiao Dali watched from behind and helped to lift the things whenever they came to a place that they couldn't pass through.
Lin Wanwan was swaying slowly beside him.
She doesn't need any help.
Why should a little girl rush to do the work?
When she is around men, she will save her energy even if she has it.
Soon, we arrived at the place where Pueraria root was stored.
Zhou Yuesheng asked Qiao Dali to put the Pueraria root on the wooden rack, and then the two of them dragged one side forward.
This time the weight was much heavier, and Lin Wanwan would help push it from time to time.
When they were almost at the edge of the woods, Zhou Yuesheng couldn't stand it anymore and sat down on the ground.
"I can't take it anymore, brother-in-law, let me rest for a while!"
Looking at the way he was waving his hands and panting, it was obvious that he was very tired.
"Yuesheng, your physical strength is not good enough, you need to practice more!"
In fact, Qiao Dali was also very tired, but he still pretended to be strong and preached to Zhou Yuesheng.
"Brother-in-law, let's stop talking about each other. Look how exhausted you are."
The two mocked each other, while Lin Wanwan walked forward with ease.
"You two wait here. I'll ask Dad to push the flatbed cart over."
A wooden rack is just a wooden rack after all. Without wheels, it is definitely not as comfortable as a flatbed cart.
Lin Wanwan walked down the mountain quickly. Zhou Yuesheng didn't have the strength to stop her. He could only look at his young wife's back and sigh in his heart.
Doesn't it make him look a little useless since his wife is so capable?
Forget it, after all, she is their daughter-in-law. No matter how capable she is, she is still a member of their Zhou family.
Tomorrow is the day he will go back to his parents' home with his young wife, so he needs to prepare some extra gifts.
I can’t sell all of this harvest, I have to send some to my father-in-law’s house.
Zhou Yuesheng thought about it over and over again, but he couldn't come up with anything valuable, so he could only set his sights on this pile of prey.
On the way back, Lin Wanwan drew her bow and arrow from time to time.
Almost every arrow shot brought back a prey.
There were seven or eight dead hares alone.
This mountain is extremely dangerous and ordinary hunters don't dare to go that deep.
Ordinary people dare not enter the mountains, so there are more prey in the mountains.
Of course, there were also many poisonous insects, rats and ants. If it weren't for the sachet hanging on Lin Wanwan's body to repel insects, they would not be so safe.
If it were so easy to enter the mountains, then everyone else would have gone in, and it wouldn't be their turn to reap the benefits.
By the time Lin Wanwan brought Old Man Zhou over, Zhou Yuesheng and the others had already recovered.
Old man Zhou looked at the pile of prey with his eyes wide open.
No wonder his daughter-in-law asked him to bring two backpacks. This is really a lot of harvest.
"You two go back first, then come back to help me!"
"When you go home, hide it from others so no one can see you."
Old Man Zhou was happy but also a little worried.
If the villagers knew about this, every household would come to beg for money. Just thinking about that scene gives me a headache.
"Don't worry, Dad. I will definitely take my brother-in-law away from people!"
Zhou Yuesheng thought the same as his father. He carried two medicine baskets and quickly went down the mountain.
In fact, the two of them are quite strong, but they seem a little weak because they carry too many things.
Now that they had changed to a large backpack, both of them returned home easily.
He first poured the things into the kitchen and asked Mrs. Zhou to look after them, then quickly returned to the mountains.
In this way, the things were divided into two batches and carried back home in batches.
When there was only a little bit left, he and Old Man Zhou pushed it back on a flatbed cart.
Lin Wanwan followed Old Man Zhou in the mountains to look after things, and told the old man about the situation in the mountains.
It was two hours later when we finally got everything home.
When Mrs. Zhou looked at the piles of prey at home, the corners of her mouth were almost stretched to the back of her ears.
Although, there were some things he didn't recognize, they were some rhizome-like things, a bit like the yams grown at home.
But Mrs. Zhou knew that it was not the same, after all, the taste was different.
"Mom and Dad, we have to go to town before daybreak."
Zhou Yuesheng rubbed his sore arm, stretched his body and said.
"These things probably won't sell for much in town. How about we go to the county town?"
"We'll send it to the county town this afternoon and come back early tomorrow morning."
Lin Wanwan looked at the things piled in the yard and thought about the prices in town, feeling a little disgusted.
"Then I'll go find someone to rent a donkey cart, and we'll drive it into town."
Old Zhou was worried about his son going alone, so he decided to follow him.
"Well, Dad, take one of the pheasants from home."
Lin Wanwan knew that these days, livestock were rarely loaned out.
Unless they are very close relatives, they generally will not agree.
"Okay, you guys wait at home!"
Old Man Zhou left the house quickly. Lin Wanwan picked out the medicinal herbs prepared for Aunt Qiao, packed them in batches, and asked Qiao Dali to take them back and cook them for his mother to drink.
"Brother-in-law, take two of each of the wild rabbits and pheasants back home. I'll take the rest to the county town to sell."
"I don't keep the kudzu root for myself anymore. I sell it directly to pharmacies. Although it makes less money, it saves me a lot of trouble."
"You and my husband dug this kudzu root together. I'll share the money with you two when we get back."
Lin Wanwan told Qiao Dali about her decision. When Qiao Dali heard that she was going to give him some money, he immediately waved his hand and refused.
"Sister-in-law, I'm already very grateful that you can take me up the mountain to dig for medicinal herbs."
"I won't refuse this hare and pheasant. We're family, so I'll just take one back."
"You and your younger brother can take the rest to the county town and sell them. If you can get more silver, you can buy more food to get through the winter."
"You don't have to share Ge Gen's money with me. Your family isn't well off. It won't be too late to share it with me next time if I contribute more."
Qiao Dali didn't say he didn't want anything at all, but he was really embarrassed to ask for so many things from others with such a shameless face.
"Okay then, brother-in-law, you go home first. I'll go to the county with my husband and father later."
"Ask my eldest sister if she has anything she wants to take with her. If she does, I'll bring it back."
Lin Wanwan was not polite to him.
If she continued talking, her husband's eyes would fly to the sky.
Don't think she didn't see it. While she was talking to her brother-in-law, her husband winked at her, reminding her not to let go.
Isn't it just sharing some meat? Look how distressed he is.
If you don’t know, you would think that he was the one who killed the prey!
Although she thought so in her heart, Lin Wanwan still retracted her idea of giving away a small part of the prey.
Only two hares and two pheasants were given.
But even so, her husband still felt it was too much.
Fortunately, my brother-in-law didn’t ask for that much, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have had a peaceful night.
