Chapter 725 730: Nasty
Dahei and Dahuang did not suffer any physical injuries, but they were kicked several times by the elk during the fight, and as they had exhausted all their strength, they also suffered internal injuries. Now even their movements were much slower, and they walked slowly to the two men, and after lying down, they were still gasping for breath.
The two checked them and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they were not bleeding. As for the internal injuries, they went back to find some herbs that can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, stewed some bones for them to eat for a few days, and they recovered.
Lai Fu walked towards them slowly. Zhou Huaian went forward and held it in his arms with concern. Looking at the fur on its back soaked with blood, he touched his trouser pocket with concern and found that the hemostatic medicine was placed in the cloth bag sewn on the backpack.
He stood up and found a few clover nearby. He used a bayonet to dig out the roots, peeled them, and smashed them into a paste. He then gently smeared it on Lai Fu's back. "Be good. I'll sprinkle some medicine on you later when we get back."
Lai Fu lay on the ground and let him apply the paste on his back. The medicine irritated the wound and may have aggravated the pain, and his body trembled from time to time.
After Zhou Huaian applied the medicine, he gently rubbed its face and said, "Okay, do you feel better now?"
Lai Fu couldn't speak. He rubbed his head gently in his palm, then lay weakly at his feet.
Zhou Huaian looked at its weak appearance and thought that the dog's self-healing ability was quite strong.
I used to see a wild dog at the entrance of the village. It had been broken on the skin and the wound was bleeding. The dog kept licking the wound with its mouth. When I saw it again two days later, the wound was healed.
But the cut on Lai Fu's back was more than half a foot long, with the skin and flesh turned inside out and still bleeding. He would have to bandage it when he got home to prevent the wound from getting infected.
Zhou Yiding had already cut the sticks. Seeing that Zhou Yiding had applied the medicine to the dog, he said to Zhou Yiding, "Youngest, have you got the rope?"
"We have a hemp rope." Zhou Huaian took out a rope from his pocket and walked towards him. The two of them tied up the front and back hooves of the red deer. "Laifu and Wangcai are much weaker than Dahei and Dahuang. From now on, even if we don't go into the mountains to hunt, we have to let the dogs run around in the back mountains."
Because the three dogs were injured to varying degrees, the two men were in a low mood. In the past, they would have been very happy to have caught such good prey.
"Yes, Dahei and Dahuang often go up the mountain to hunt for food. They have good physical strength and quick reactions."
Zhou Yiding also found that when he went up the mountain these two days, Lai Fu and Wang Cai performed weaker than Da Hei and Da Huang. It might be because they were kept in the yard to guard the house in the past few months, and their reactions were not as sensitive as before.
"My second brother brought a few puppies back to look after the house this time. I will also get two or three more when the market opens. I will raise them in the roast house and look after the yard at my house. I will also let Lai Fu and Wang Cai go to the back hill to run around often."
"Okay, my old man will go up the mountain and catch the black ones. You can bring back two more, and I will take them for my family too."
"Hmm!" Zhou Huaian tied the rope into a knot, grabbed the hoof and lifted it up, "Fuck~ It must be about two hundred and thirty or four hundred pounds, right?"
"Almost." Zhou Yiding put the wooden stick between the four hooves. The two of them squatted down and lifted the deer up. They waved to the dog and slowly walked back.
Dahei walked in front, Dahuang and Lai Fu followed slowly behind, and Zhou Huaian and the other man carried the sika deer and followed behind Gouzi.
Zhou Yiding moved the heavy stick and said, "Youngest brother, I heard that the whole body of a deer is full of treasures, especially the blood of a male deer. Drinking it is very nutritious. When we cut it open and let it bleed, you should drink more."
"I'm afraid I'll have a nosebleed if I drink it." Zhou Huaian smiled and glanced back at him, "As for you, I suspect you've used the Fifth Lady too much recently, and your eyes are dark due to exhaustion. You should drink more later."
Zhou Yiding sneered, "Climb, Xiao Wan has been naughty these past few days. The dark circles under my eyes are from being tired from helping to comfort the baby at night."
Zhou Huaian turned his head and winked at him, "Dude, all men go through that, so don't be embarrassed."
"Get lost, I don't want to bother with you, bitch!" Zhou Yiding rolled his eyes at him, "Go faster, or you'll be dead soon and you won't be able to drink my blood anymore."
"Okay!" Zhou Huaian moved faster, "Go back and pour out the water in the kettle, and get two bottles of deer blood to bring home for Chunyan and Xuejiao to drink."
"Yeah!" Zhou Yiding said with a smile, "Last time you said you helped the hunter in Chuancheng sell a pair of deer antlers. How valuable is this thing?"
"Deer antlers are sold by gram, just like musk." Zhou Huaian thought about it, "The pair of white-bottomed deer antlers I brought from the boat city last time didn't look as good as this one. They were all sold at 1.2 per gram. A pair weighed 1,535 grams, and I sold more than a thousand deer antlers alone."
Zhou Yiding's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Shit! If we kill this one, the antlers look plump, I think we can sell it for more than a thousand!"
"It will be more, not less. There are also deer tendons, deer penis, deer tail, and deer meat, which are also worth a lot of money." Zhou Huaian grinned happily when he thought of the harvest in the past two days. "We got a lot of goods twice when we went into the mountains. We are going to have good luck this year!"
"We were very lucky this year, last year and the year before last, otherwise how could we earn as much money as others earn in their entire lives." Zhou Yiding said sincerely, "Youngest, in the next life, we will still be brothers."
Although he has no biological brothers in this life, he has a better relationship with the youngest brother than some of his biological brothers.
"Fuck you!" Zhou Huaian rubbed his hands exaggeratedly, "Why is your kid so cheesy today? I have goosebumps all over the floor."
“……” Zhou Yiding was speechless. He wanted to throw away the white butt on his shoulder and kick him.
The two men walked back carrying the increasingly heavy sika deer. Wang Zhen stood by the ditch, anxiously waiting for them to encounter a ferocious beast. He did not let go until he saw the two men walking behind the dog.
He stepped forward excitedly, "Such a big stag, you two are so lucky!"
"It was the dog who found it." Zhou Huaian pointed at Lai Fu, "It got stabbed on the back by the white buttocks, sprinkle some medicine powder on it."
"Okay!" Wang Zhen turned around and took out the hemostatic powder from the cloth bag on his backpack. He then saw the herbs on Lai Fu's back. He picked up a little and put it to his nose to smell it. "The golden thread gourd you used can also stop bleeding. Go back and clean it with iodine, and then apply the medicine."
"Okay!" The two put the sika deer on the ground. Zhou Huaian said with a smile, "Doctor Xiao Wang, the white butt is still warm. You come and cut the blood vessels and let the blood out."
Wang Zhen thought for a moment and said, "I think they can collect deer blood when they cut the antlers."
"Oh!" Zhou Huaian took a few sips of water and poured out the water in the kettle. The three of them started to work around the deer antlers.
…
At the foot of the mountain, Yang Chunyan took Yang Dongmei to the back mountain to see the medicinal fields, and dug some Adenophora to make soup.
In the medicinal field, plants such as sweet potato, wild yam, and codonopsis pilosula are both medicinal and edible. They grow very well after watering, and the tender green vines climb everywhere along the fence.
Yang Dongmei didn't expect that in just over a year, they had managed the medicinal fields so well. "Sister, except for the inconvenient transportation in the mountains, everything else is no worse than the city."
"It's convenient to do business in the city." Yang Chunyan held her in her arms. "The land behind the new house can also grow a lot of things. Take a look at what you like to plant. I'll dig it up and send it to you in February."
Yang Dongmei looked around and pointed at the medicinal field. "The white hyacinth flowers are very beautiful. Viola yedoensis and roses can be planted along the courtyard wall. Codonopsis pilosula is also good. The fruits are edible and the roots can be dug up and stewed into soup."
She counted on her fingers as she spoke, "Oh! And the dahlia in your yard, get me one too. It blooms beautifully and doesn't require much care, perfect for a lazy person like me."
"Okay, I'll dig them up and send them to you as soon as February comes." Yang Chunyan took her to the woods, where all the plants planted were shade-loving plants.
"You even planted Paris polyphylla and Dendrobium officinale!" Yang Dongmei gave her a thumbs up in admiration, "In the future, put up a sign at the entrance of the garden and call it Baicao Garden."
"I just planted the seeds without taking care of them. Whenever I saw suitable seeds, I would bring them back and spread them on the soil. After a while, I would forget about them. It was all up to my grandfather and the old man to take care of them."
"The old people in your family are just like Grandpa Wang, they are both very good people." Yang Dongmei curled her lips and said, "Wang Zhen is lucky to have Grandpa to protect him. If he relied on the old man, he would have a hard time even becoming an adult, let alone going to college."
Yang Chunyan looked at her in surprise, "What happened? Did something go wrong again this time?"
"Well!" Yang Dongmei said with disgust, "His old man said that we are going to have a wedding soon, and he saw a house in the provincial capital and wanted to buy it for us, saying that we would have a place to stay when we return.
The stepmother refused to agree and was jealous that her grandfather had given the herbal medicine business to Wang Zhen, saying that the profit from this business alone could be several times their salary in a year.
He also said that the capital for opening the shop must have been given by his grandfather and his father, so if Wang Zhen wanted to buy a yard, he could pay for it with his own money.
It is true that the money he used to open the shop was lent by grandpa, but later he made money by cooperating with you to collect red mushrooms and truffles, so he returned the capital to grandpa. As for collecting herbs, he just made some middleman money just like his brother-in-law did when he helped others sell herbs.
Grandpa didn't want that bitch to know about collecting red mushrooms and truffles, so he told his old man some things about Ning'an in private. He moved to my uncle's house that day, saying that he would wait for the landlord to come back in the provincial capital and buy the yard for us before returning to Ning'an.
Wang Zhen said, if grandpa didn’t want to go to the provincial capital, he wouldn’t even want to go back for the New Year. Every time he went home, he didn’t feel at home. It was better to be comfortable at our house.”
"Wang Zhen is feeling miserable, so you should be nicer to him in the future."
Yang Chunyan recalled a line she had seen in a TV series before: Only after experiencing the ups and downs of human nature can one know how precious true love is. The prosperity of the world is not as good as fireworks, and fine clothes and delicious food are not as good as plain meals.
Yang Dongmei pouted, "Sister, I treat him very well. Look at him now. He talks more in a day than he used to in a week. Before, he wouldn't say a word for a long time except for talking about business."
After hearing this, Yang Chunyan laughed and said, "That's true. Your brother-in-law said that Wang Zhen likes to joke around more than before."
"Look, even my brother-in-law said so." Yang Dongmei pulled her with a smile, "If I treat him badly, he will definitely still act like the dean of studies."
"Naughty!" Yang Chunyan tapped her and continued walking forward with her arm in hand.
