Chapter 168: Mr. Qingtang, please give me some votes
Anyone with a discerning eye can see what is going on in Zhao Cuicui's case, and no one really thinks that there is any relationship between Huo Dongsheng and Zhao Cuicui. Everyone says that Zhao Cuicui is crazy about men, but some people also say that she is just watching other people's families live. It is better to keep such a realistic woman away from her children in the future.
Zhao Cuicui was aware of the rumors outside and was so angry that she almost died on the spot. After returning home, she was severely scolded by her father.
These things did not affect the mood of the Shen and Huo families at all. They were busy preparing the things needed for the banquet. Although many things had been bought, the banquet was at noon on New Year's Eve and there was still one day left. However, for a banquet for so many people, if they wanted to avoid being too busy tomorrow, they still had to prepare in advance. Anyway, the weather was very cold, and it would not affect anything if they packed up the ingredients, they would just be left for one night.
Chen Jintao and Huo Beichuan went directly to the mountain. In fact, Chen Jidong and Huo Dongsheng also wanted to go with them, but if they went, Huo Nanxi would definitely go too. Chen Jintao's skills were not particularly good, she just had the ability to protect herself.
If they go up the mountain and encounter a large wild animal with the three little ones, they will definitely be unable to take care of themselves. It would be bad if they got injured at this critical moment.
For this reason, Huo Nanxi was really aggrieved and vowed to exercise well in the future. Only in this way could she go up the mountain to play with her sister-in-law and not be a burden.
Regardless of whether the three little ones are full of resentment, they have a lot of things to do at home anyway. With so many ingredients, even if the women who have a good relationship with Xu Xuemei and Liu Guifen come to help, it won’t work. The three of them can indeed do a lot.
Chen Jintao and Huo Beichuan each carried a large backpack and went straight up the mountain. No one knew who gave them the courage to make them feel that they would definitely gain something by going up the mountain. One large backpack was not enough, so they directly bought two.
The two of them wandered around the mountain for a long time and only caught a nest of wild rabbits. However, there were quite a few rabbits in this nest, and they would make a very good meat dish. They were not obsessed with pheasants. After all, Xu Xuemei and Liu Guifen had already asked someone to buy a lot of chickens, and that was enough for half a chicken for a table.
Although they did not deliberately try to catch pheasants, the ecological environment was good in that era, so they eventually caught six.
"Today's harvest is quite good, but it's a pity that there are no larger ones, especially roe deer, whose meat is delicious!"
Chen Jintao remembered the roe deer meat she had eaten once before and immediately swallowed her saliva. She felt a little greedy. What should she do?
Huo Beichuan really had no way to deal with this. If he really encountered roe deer, they would most likely come in groups. He would have to be extremely lucky to do so.
However, no one knew if their luck today was really that good, or if Chen Jintao was just blessing them. Just when they thought they would not get any more fish and were about to go down the mountain, they actually encountered a few silly roe deer.
I counted them and found six in total, not too many, so it should be a small group of roe deer.
Huo Beichuan made a gesture to his wife to keep quiet, then he grabbed a handful of pebbles and threw them out.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Three stupid roe deer fell straight to the ground, and the other three seemed to be frightened and did not move. They even fell down one after another, with their four legs facing the sky and their legs stretched straight out.
Chen Jintao: ...
Huo Beichuan: ...
Although it's not very authentic, it really made me laugh.
Huo Beichuan certainly would not give the three stupid roe deer that were not hit a chance to escape, and quickly hit them a few more times with stones.
He had very strong hands and good aim, and now the silly roe deer were lying there quietly, making it very easy for him to hit them.
When we got closer, we found that all six roe deer were unconscious, but still alive.
Chen Jintao brought some tools with her before going up the mountain. She was very tactful and took out a hemp rope from her still light backpack and tied up all the silly roe deer.
"Silly Roe Deer really lives up to its reputation!"
Chen Jintao was very happy. She was really greedy for it, and now it was delivered to her door.
"We really have to go down the mountain now, otherwise we won't be able to get so much."
Just when they had packed up all the roe deer, a grunting sound came from behind them.
Chen Jintao froze for a moment, then turned around and faced a huge wild boar.
It's really big, at least three or four hundred pounds. Could it be the wild boar king around here?
Huo Beichuan's expression also became completely serious. He thought they were about to go down the mountain and there would be no danger, but who knew that a wild boar would come out at this critical moment.
"Wife, find a place to hide and don't come out!"
Chen Jintao knew that she could handle the little guys, and if it was a wild boar cub, she might be able to give it a try, but this wild boar was too big, and there was no way she could handle it.
"Be careful!"
After saying this, Shen Jintao turned around and approached a big tree.
The moment Shen Jintao moved, the wild boar also moved.
He actually rushed directly towards Chen Jintao.
There was no way Huo Beichuan would let the wild boar get close to his wife, so he just picked up the hatchet and faced the wild boar head-on.
By the time Chen Jintao finally climbed up the tree, Huo Beichuan and the wild boar had already started fighting below.
Her heart was in her throat, mainly because the thing was too big. Even if she was hit by it, she would probably suffer serious internal injuries.
But at this time she obviously couldn't do anything and could only watch nervously from the tree.
As a sharp blade in the army, Huo Beichuan is really very skilled.
He had not received any systematic training since childhood, but he was born with great strength. After joining the army, he was very strict with himself. It was common for him to forget to eat and sleep during training. Over the years, he seemed to be able to handle such a big guy with ease.
However, this wild boar was too big and not easy to deal with. The man and the boar fought back and forth, and neither of them gained much advantage.
Chen Jintao thought about it, then quietly slipped down from the tree, picked up a pile of stones, and climbed up again quickly.
Of course Huo Beichuan noticed his wife's little movements, and probably understood why she did this. He could only frantically attract the wild boar's attention, otherwise his wife would be discovered by the wild boar.
Fortunately, Shen Jintao returned to the tree safely, but after returning to the tree, Shen Jintao was no longer so honest.
One stone after another hit the wild boar. Although not every stone hit the target, eight out of ten would hit the wild boar.
This level of blows was not a big deal to the thick-skinned wild boar, but the wild boar couldn't stand Chen Jintao's constant throwing, and it became a little annoyed. Its attention was not fully focused on Huo Beichuan, and it seemed that it wanted to hit the big tree where Chen Jintao was.
