The sixteenth day of the first lunar month is also the last day of February.
After resting comfortably at home for more than half a month, Chen Wang got up early for the first time in a long time.
He didn’t let Lin Xiuqin get up and help. There were some dumplings left over from yesterday, so Chen Wang cooked them and ate them himself.
As for the lunch he brought into the mountains, Chen Wang made a few large pancakes himself and also brought some pickled vegetables.
It’s definitely not as good as what my wife sells, but it’s enough to fill my stomach.
After packing up his things, Chen Wang put on his medicine basket, took the hunting rifle that he had specially maintained last night, and prepared to set off.
Lin Xiuqin sat up on the bed and gestured to him with a smile, meaning to be careful.
"Got it, don't worry!"
Chen Wang smiled and nodded, walked over, raised his right hand and placed it on the back of her head, lowered his head and kissed her, "Continue to lie down and sleep, I'm leaving."
Lin Xiuqin's pretty face blushed slightly, and she lay back gently, staring at him infatuatedly with her bright and beautiful eyes.
"Be good! Close your eyes and sleep for a while."
Chen Wang raised his hand and pressed it down. Seeing his wife slowly close her eyes, he turned and left.
Three dogs and a little monkey were already waiting outside the room, like soldiers about to go to battle.
Seeing him come out, the little monkey immediately climbed onto his shoulders. The three dogs also stood up from their squatting position and followed Chen Wang out.
Lin Xiuqin listened to the footsteps and the barking of the dog fading away, a smile on her lips, and soon fell asleep peacefully.
It was seven in the morning and it was already light outside.
From a distance, Chen Wang saw Chen Dazhuang waving at him.
Chen Dazhuang was still standing in front of his demolished house, and his two dogs, Yuanshuai and Yanwang, were also there.
Chen Wang quickened his pace and walked over.
"Brother Zhuang, why are you standing here?"
"We are staying at someone else's house now. It's too early. We don't want to disturb them."
“I see!”
Chen Wang nodded suddenly.
Master and Chen Dazhuang both moved to the neighboring house, but did not take the dogs with them. Instead, they built doghouses for the two dogs out of wood next to their own homestead.
After all, there is a whole family living there. It would be good enough to have a room for them to stay temporarily. It would be too much to bring the dog over.
The two of them headed toward the mountains together.
"You didn't eat breakfast, did you?"
Chen Wang asked.
Chen Dazhuang smiled innocently.
"You're not going to tell me unless I ask you? Won't you be starving to death by noon?"
Chen Wang rolled his eyes speechlessly, took off the medicine basket, took out a cake and handed it to him.
"I only brought this with me. It's just for now!"
"Um."
Chen Dazhuang took it and took a big bite. While chewing, he asked vaguely, "Did you make it yourself?"
“Can you eat this?”
"Of course, it's far worse than what my brother and sister-in-law did."
"Fuck, then don't eat it. Are you still complaining about it?"
"No, no."
Chen Dazhuang grinned and ate faster.
"What about the Marshal and the King of Hell?"
Chen Wang looked at his two dogs.
He cooked multi-grain porridge for the three dogs and the little monkey. He didn't let them eat too much, but just enough to keep them from going hungry.
"It's okay. We can just feed them something we find in the mountains later."
"These two dogs have suffered a lot following you."
"Hahahaha...not that serious."
The two chatted and laughed along the way and soon entered the mountain.
"I haven't been here for so long, I hope I'll have better luck today."
Chen Dazhuang stretched and said with a smile.
Chen Wang smiled and nodded in agreement.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ruyi shouted towards the front and rushed out.
The other dogs followed immediately.
"What the hell, what's going on? There's stuff right after we entered the mountain?"
Chen Dazhuang was stunned.
"It might be a pheasant or a rabbit, let's follow and see!"
Chen Wang smiled and ran after him.
His guess was correct. A gray hare was running desperately in front of him, and several dogs were chasing it while barking.
As the climate warms up after the Spring Festival, these hares will begin to frequently appear on the edge of the forests to forage for food, and they are the most common prey in the mountains.
The big tiger was the fastest and bit the hare directly after catching up.
The other four dogs caught up and surrounded the big tiger, barking. Especially the hungry Marshal and Yan Wang, their eyes were eager to take a bite.
The hare was not dead yet, and was struggling weakly in the tiger's mouth.
Chen Wang and the other man then ran over, panting.
"Da Hu, well done."
Chen Wang squatted down and stroked Dahu's dog head, took the rabbit out of its mouth and handed it to Chen Dazhuang.
Chen Dazhuang took the rabbit, squatted down and pressed it to the ground, then took out a knife and killed it with one stroke.
He skinned and gutted the rabbit skillfully, then cut the rabbit meat into several pieces and distributed them to the dogs.
As the number one contributor, Da Hu got not only rabbit meat but also rabbit heart.
Ruyi was the first to discover the prey and was given the rabbit liver.
The two men waited until the dogs finished eating the rabbit meat before they continued on their journey.
After discussion, the two took a new path today.
Later, we encountered two hares and a pheasant.
There was no need for Chen Wang and Chen Dazhuang to take action to catch the hare; a few dogs could handle it.
The pheasant flapped its wings and flew up after being chased by several dogs, but was shot down by Chen Wang with a slingshot.
“There are so many rabbits!”
Chen Dazhuang stuffed the rabbit into the sack and couldn't help but sigh.
"We can't help it. They grow fast, have a strong reproductive capacity, and their natural enemies are becoming fewer and fewer. How can there not be too many of them?"
