Watching the wolves walk away, Tian Yuzhu looked at the prey Xiaoshan in front of her and felt worried.
This time is different from last time. Last time she was very strong and could carry it down the mountain no matter what. This time she is just as strong, but she doesn't dare to use too much force.
The two little ones in my belly must be well protected.
Now I could only take a rabbit, catch a pheasant, and then go down the mountain to look for people.
The rabbits and pheasants were still alive. The wolf brothers were cold on the outside but warm on the inside. They were very thoughtful and only bit each prey to the point where the prey could no longer escape.
This way, the leftovers can be kept.
Just like the rabbit in your hand, its belly is round and bulging, which means it is probably pregnant with baby rabbits. This season is the time when rabbits reproduce most vigorously.
Cases like this can be kept.
…
Shi Zhentang, who was standing at the village entrance waiting anxiously, felt relieved when he saw his daughter-in-law return safely.
However, the reality seemed like a dream to him.
The pregnant daughter-in-law actually met a wolf in the middle of the night. Of course, he didn't know that it was not just one wolf, but a group of wolves.
Everyone felt that this matter was completely out of line.
I guess this is the only case like this in the world.
After taking the prey from his wife's hand, he had to accept the reality of the matter: "Yuzhu, are you okay?"
"It's okay, go back and call the third brother and the eldest brother. There are still many prey on the mountain, all of which are gifts from Lao Hei." Tian Yuzhu said with a smile: "Don't you think Xiao Hei's father is quite generous?"
Shi Zhentang was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "How am I going to explain to them that we got our prey in the middle of the night?"
Last time he didn't know the truth, and Tian Yuzhu lied to him and said that she couldn't sleep and went out hunting.
I thought it was incredible at the time, but I couldn't find a more reasonable explanation.
Later, my family also believed it.
Is this the same excuse this time?
Tian Yuzhu took his arm and said, "You don't have to say anything. They didn't ask any details last time. In fact, everyone found it strange. But there is one good thing. Although it is strange, as long as we don't say anything, they won't ask any more questions."
Shi Zhentang thought for a moment and said, "Indeed, I'll go call them. If they really ask, I'll just say we went up the mountain and did it."
Anyone with a discerning eye would know that anyone who goes up the mountain in the middle of the night and hunts so many prey is lying.
But the good thing about the people in the Shi family is that they will choose to accept it instead of talking too much.
After telling Tian Yuzhu where the prey is, she can go back to sleep.
Next, Shi Zhentang climbed over the wall and entered the new courtyard. He first knocked on the door of his eldest brother Shi Weimin's room, and then went to quietly wake up Shi Weiqiang.
Shi Weimin was shocked. Why did they wake him up in the middle of the night?
Shi Weiqiang was so frightened that he screamed, "Who?"
"It's me." Shi Zhentang felt a little sorry. He didn't want to call them in this way because he was afraid that the neighbors next door would hear it.
However, Shi Weiqiang's scream also woke Lu Huanying up.
"Zhentang, what are you doing?" The old lady was groping for a match to light the oil lamp. Shi Weimin and Su Zhen, a couple in the inner room, had already dressed and came to their room.
They all looked at Shi Zhentang with puzzled expressions: "Is there something wrong with Xiaoli?"
"No, big brother, I came to ask you and the third brother to go out with me to move some things."
"Moving things, so late at night?"
The old lady thought she had heard it wrong!
But looking at Shi Zhentang's expression, he didn't look like he was joking.
He said seriously, "We'll talk about it when we get back. Let's go first. Please keep your voices down."
At present, the village commune still uses the labor-sharing system, and any disturbance in anyone's family will cause people to gossip.
Seeing him like this, the old lady could only nod and say, "Okay, okay, then you can go and come back quickly."
After the three brothers left, the old lady still felt uneasy. Who could sleep in the middle of the night when something mysterious happened? She asked Su Zhen to wait with her in the house.
After waiting for about half an hour, someone came into the yard. I quickly took the oil lamp to illuminate the area. It was Shi Weiqiang.
Wow, he’s carrying a big wild boar on his shoulders!
Next came the brothers Shi Zhentang and Shi Weimin, each carrying a lot of prey on their shoulders and in their hands.
The old lady was surprised and delighted, but she had to suppress her voice: "Zhentang, where did these come from?"
"We have to go back to the mountains again. There are too many."
"I'm going too." Su Zhen was very excited to see so many prey. She saw that there were also small prey, such as pheasants and rabbits, which she could lift. An extra pair of hands would mean more help.
Shi Weimin said, "Let's go!"
The old lady was also very happy: "Go quickly."
After the young people left, she hurried back to the kitchen to get out buckets and basins, put whatever she could into them, and also prepared the kitchen knives.
We can't leave so many prey here, we have to deal with them, unless we can keep them alive secretly.
Soon the second wave of transport returned.
The old lady counted and found there were ten pheasants, ten rabbits, two muntjacs, one big wild boar and one half-grown wild boar.
There were so many that everyone was stunned.
Where did it come from?
Finally I had time to look at Shi Zhentang.
The prey were still half alive, for example, rabbits and pheasants only had their feet injured. These couldn't all be pie in the sky, right?
Shi Zhentang initially wanted to tell a white lie and tell his family that he and his wife had caught it while hunting.
But now he felt that all these lies were completely unfounded, but he couldn't reveal anything else, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Anyway, it's for our family, anyway, it's a good thing."
Well!!!
This explanation is the same as not saying anything.
Everyone looked at each other, but no one asked any more questions.
Shi Weiqiang suddenly remembered something and slapped his forehead: "Oh, I know it's my second sister-in-law..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly covered his mouth.
He knew that his guess was right. It must have been the prey given to his second sister-in-law by the wolves in the mountains, because he had seen that scene with his own eyes.
The old lady's face changed. "What are you talking about, Third Brother? Your second sister-in-law... How is that possible? Could it be that Yuzhu went up the mountain to hunt again like before? My God, she's pregnant, and it's so late at night..."
"No, no, grandma, don't worry." Shi Weiqiang quickly shook his hand and explained: "Second sister-in-law didn't go up the mountain, don't worry!"
The old lady's voice was a little loud due to her nervousness, and she was afraid that the neighbors would hear it, so Shi Zhentang had to let everyone go into the house first, and then gave Shi Weiqiang a cold look.
Shi Weiqiang lowered his head quickly, because he was not very careful with his words.
Shi Zhentang then continued, "Grandma, Big Brother and Sister-in-law, don't worry. Yuzhu didn't go up the mountain. These prey were actually given to her by her friends. As for the rest, you don't need to ask too much. In short, she is doing this for the good of the family."
After hearing this, everyone felt relieved!
The main thing is that Tian Yuzhu didn't go up the mountain to hunt, as everyone was worried about her health.
As for the prey, to be honest, this is not the first time, especially for the old lady, she has already figured out some tricks.
