After resting at home for two days, it was February 3rd, which was also the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month.
The atmosphere of the Spring Festival has become even stronger. People who study or work away from home have basically returned, and every household has begun to prepare for the New Year.
Spring cleaning, slaughtering pigs and sheep, going to the market to buy New Year's goods, etc.
As the old saying goes, the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month brings the festive atmosphere and you need to do something every day.
Chen Wang had already made an appointment with Chen Dazhuang in advance to go into the mountains this afternoon, hunt in the mountains at night, and return at dawn.
This will also be their last time going into the mountains this year.
After lunch, Chen Wang played with the little girl for a while and then went back to his room to take a nap.
I want to get enough rest, but I also want the little girl to take a nap with me.
When I woke up, I saw my wife sitting by the bed knitting a sweater.
"Honey, what time is it?"
Chen Wang yawned and asked.
Lin Xiuqin turned her head to look at him and raised three fingers.
"It's already three o'clock, where's the little girl?"
Chen Wang picked up the sweater and put it on.
Lin Xiuqin pointed in the direction of the little girl's room and made a sleeping gesture.
"You're still sleeping? That's great. Go make me some pancakes and prepare some food and drinks. I'll go find Brother Zhuang."
Chen Wang said hurriedly.
Lin Xiuqin nodded, put down the needle and thread in her hand, stood up and walked out of the room.
Before long, everything was ready.
Chen Wang also carried a medicine basket, a hunting rifle and three dogs.
Lin Xiuqin saw him out the door, looking at him with concern.
Even though she had agreed to it, she still couldn't help but worry.
Chen Wang held her face with both hands and smiled, "Wife, just relax and have a good sleep tonight. We may be back tomorrow before you get up."
Lin Xiuqin remained silent and just pointed to her belly.
"Right, I haven't seen the baby yet. I will definitely come back safely."
Chen Wang smiled and gently touched her belly which had not yet begun to show.
Lin Xiuqin's pretty face turned red and she slapped his claws away.
"The little girl will definitely make a scene when she wakes up. Just tell her that after I make some money this time, we can go to the city to buy New Year's goods the day after tomorrow. I'll buy her new clothes and shoes. If she keeps crying, I won't take her with me."
Chen Wang instructed with a smile.
Lin Xiuqin rolled her eyes in annoyance.
Do you know how tiring it is for her, a person who can't speak, to express these two sentences clearly?
Chen Wang raised his hand and patted his forehead, then said with a smile: "Then I'll write her a note and you can show it to her when the time comes."
After saying that, he went to the room to find paper and pen, wrote a note and gave it to his wife.
"Then I'm leaving, give me a hug."
Chen Wang opened his arms and hugged his wife, then bent down and kissed her forcefully.
Lin Xiuqin's pretty face turned red instantly and she pushed her away shyly.
"You're already an old married couple, yet you're still so shy!"
Chen Wang joked with a wicked smile.
Lin Xiuqin raised her hand and pretended to hit him.
"Hahaha... slip away."
Chen Wang laughed heartily, turned around and ran away.
Lin Xiuqin watched him run away, then turned around and waved to her, smiled, and went into the house.
When I arrived at the master's house, I found Chen Dazhuang still taking a nap.
Chen Jianjun directly overturned the cup, waking Chen Dazhuang up.
While Chen Dazhuang was getting dressed and getting ready, Chen Wang listened carefully to his master's instructions.
Neither of them had ever hunted at night, but when Chen Jianjun was young, he often stayed in the mountains for several days and nights.
It was because people were poorer back then than they are now, and not being able to hunt meant that the whole family might have to starve.
"It's best to find a safe place in the mountains first, and move around that place. If you get hurt or encounter any problems, you can hide there first."
"Remember to light a bonfire when you rest. It will keep you warm and prevent the cold. It will also keep wild animals away."
"Also, when handling prey, try to stay as far away from where you landed. The smell of blood can easily attract dangerous predators."
…
Chen Jianjun spoke earnestly and talked a lot.
Chen Wang listened very carefully, and recalled the cave where the two murderers were captured.
That cave seemed like a pretty good place to stay.
After the master finished speaking, Chen Wang expressed his own thoughts.
"That place is good. It's hidden and safe, and there should be very little human activity around. If you're lucky, you'll have a good harvest."
Chen Jianjun expressed his approval.
"Then we'll use that cave as our base."
Chen Wang said with a smile.
"Can."
Chen Jianjun smiled and reminded them, "Also, remember to come back before dawn. If there is anything, you can ask Jixiang to inform me. If you are not back by nine in the morning, I will bring people into the mountains to look for you."
"clear!"
Chen Wang nodded.
"I'm fine, Awang, let's go!"
Chen Dazhuang walked over with a shotgun on his back.
"Master, we will leave first."
Chen Wang said goodbye to his master.
"Go ahead, definitely, put safety first. Dazhuang, you too, don't be rash and listen to Awang more."
Chen Jianjun reminded in a serious tone.
"knew!"
…
…
Two people, five dogs, and a little monkey went into the mountains.
Along the way, Chen Wang and his friend were both quite excited.
After all, it was the first time they went hunting in the mountains at night, and both of them were looking forward to it.
