Without weather forecasts, we can only rely on some traditional methods to make predictions.
When I woke up at dawn in the morning, I could smell the fresh scent of grass and trees as soon as I opened the door, and the birds were singing happily on the branches.
Looking up towards the east, it seemed as if a ray of morning light had penetrated the mist and was about to fall on my shirt.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be a sunny day today.
The staple food this morning is steamed buns.
Before going to bed last night, my wife kneaded the dough and let it ferment overnight.
There is still some meat in the house, but not much.
Half of it is stuffed with wild boar and cabbage, and the other half is stuffed with leeks and eggs.
After washing his face and brushing his teeth, Chen Wang wanted to help, but after trying it out, he found that the shapes of the buns he made were too abstract, so Lin Xiuqin smiled and drove him away.
In anger, Chen Wang knocked on the door to wake the little girl up, picked up the puppy that ran out, and stroked its head.
After being fed delicious food and drinks for the past few days, the puppy had obviously grown bigger, and it struggled so hard in his arms that he almost couldn't hold it.
A few big buns, a bowl of corn porridge, and the pickles and pickled radish cubes given by my mother-in-law, it was such a delicious meal.
After taking the equipment for hiking, his wife packed six large buns in a cloth bag and stuffed them into the medicine basket on his back along with a kettle filled with warm water.
After going out, Chen Wang turned around, and while his wife was not paying attention, he hugged her and kissed her.
Lin Xiuqin's pretty face immediately turned red, and she slapped him in embarrassment.
Nowadays, even for couples, they rarely have such intimate communication except when they are in bed together at night.
"Hehe...Brother, sister-in-law, shame on you."
The little girl stood behind holding the puppy, stroking her face with her fingers and joking with a bright smile.
Chen Wang chose to ignore her, waved at the little monkey and said, "Jixiang, come here, we're leaving!"
“Squeak!”
Jixiang shouted and nimbly jumped onto his shoulder.
"Wife, stay home and don't run around. Be careful not to catch a cold. I'm going to earn money for milk powder."
Chen Wang gave instructions more carefully than ever before.
Lin Xiuqin was amused by this and nodded with a smile.
"Come on, brother. Catch a big pig."
The little girl shouted loudly to cheer him up.
The main thing was that half of the buns today were vegetarian, which made her feel a sense of urgency.
Is there really a shortage of meat at home again?
The vegetarian buns with egg and leek are also delicious, but after experiencing eating meat every day for some time, the little girl can’t go back.
Thinking that she might not have meat to eat in the future, the little girl wanted to go into the mountains with her brother and hunt some big prey.
When we arrived at Chen Dazhuang's house, we saw that he was also fully armed.
I also have new equipment in my hands.
A hatchet that looks very handy.
"Last time you said you wanted to bring an axe, so the old man asked a blacksmith to make this. He said it's better than an axe and easier to carry."
Chen Dazhuang waved the hatchet in his hand with a smile.
“It’s good stuff.”
Chen Wang smiled and nodded.
"Then let's go. We've been idle at home for two days and are almost rusty."
"If it snows heavily soon, we might have to stay at home for ten days or half a month!"
"So you have to take advantage of this time to make more money, otherwise you won't be able to lie at home comfortably."
"That's right, let's do a good job today."
“It’s a must!”
The two men became more and more excited as they talked, full of confidence, and headed straight for the mountains with their knives sharpened.
…
…
After entering the mountain, the sun had already risen from the east.
I seemed to be very lucky today. Just a few minutes after walking, I saw a pheasant fluttering on a tree.
Taking the slingshot handed to him by Chen Dazhuang, Chen Wang took out the glass beads and wrapped them around it, then pulled the rubber band with all his strength and shot it accurately.
With a snap, the pheasant fell directly from the tree and flapped its wings on the ground, trying to escape.
When the bullet hit Chen Dazhuang, he had already rushed over. After catching up with the pheasant, he raised his hatchet and chopped it down mercilessly.
The hatchet was not very sharp, but the impact was enough to kill the pheasant.
Chen Dazhuang grabbed the pheasant, took out the urea sack, opened it and threw it in, then turned to Chen Wang and grinned, "I feel good today. The good start came so quickly."
"That's right, but I was scared by you just now. You better be careful with other prey and don't ruin the skin."
Chen Wang reminded with a smile.
"Of course, this is a wild chicken, it's not worth much."
Chen Dazhuang smiled and said.
"The spirit of Pheasant in heaven will not let you go."
"You were the one who hit me with the slingshot first, why don't you let me go?"
"Anyway, before it dies, it will definitely see your ferocious and ferocious face."
"Fuck, don't make it sound so scary, it's just a pheasant."
"What's wrong with a pheasant? In Journey to the West, there was a rooster that became a spirit!"
"Awang... No, Brother Wang, please stop talking. It's getting more and more creepy."
"Hahaha……"
The two chatted and laughed and continued on their way.
My luck was really good today. After walking for less than half an hour, I came to a dead forest. In less than five minutes, I encountered two wild rabbits in succession.
One was successfully hit and killed with a slingshot.
The other bullet did hit the hare, but only injured it, and it still escaped.
The disadvantages of not having hunting dogs began to emerge.
If you have a hunting dog, just let the dog chase it and it will bring the rabbit back to you quickly.
