"I'll take you to find some meat!" Zhang Xingrong said with a smile.
Shitou is too weak now and needs some nourishment. Not only Shitou, but also my second and third brothers need some nourishment. It's a pity that my eldest brother is in the army and hasn't been seen in years.
But in those days, there were only two ways to eat meat. One was to buy it with money and coupons. But money and coupons had to be earned, and she had none. As for coupons, let alone those, they were only available to those with urban household registration and who received commercial grain.
It was very difficult for people in the production team to get tickets.
So if you want to eat meat, you can only go to the mountains to hunt wild game.
Shitou hesitated. "Sister, there's not much game left in the mountains. I see people from the village often going into the mountains to hunt game, but they never catch anything!"
If we could catch some, we wouldn't be so greedy. It's because there are too many people going into the mountains, and the game has been hunted long ago. Where can we find any food now?
During the slack season, my grandfather went into the mountains every day, but he never caught anything!
Zhang Xingrong smiled mysteriously at the stone after hearing this: "They can't hit it, but I know where it is!"
Yes, there's no game outside the mountains. But there are places in the mountains that people don't dare go to, especially deep in the mountains. These places are infested with wolves, tigers, leopards, snakes, ants, insects, and other animals. The danger is unpredictable, and it's easy to get lost, so most people don't dare go there.
But in fact, there are places you can enter. As long as you take the right path, you can get in.
This time, Zhang Xingrong took the stone on a road that no one else knew about.
This was the road her father Zhang Guojun took her on before, saying it was a road they often took during wars.
Retracing the old path, Zhang Xingrong felt a pang of pain in her heart. As the family's only daughter, Zhang Guojun had always loved her dearly. Worried about her being bullied, he often trained her, taking her into the mountains for training to build her strength and endurance.
She didn't understand it before and often complained about it, but Zhang Guojun encouraged her and gave her a roasted pheasant when she got to her destination! With the pheasant as motivation, she actually completed the task every time.
She had eaten pheasants countless times, and she gained a lot of strength, no longer afraid of fighting.
Thinking of this now, she misses Zhang Guojun even more.
The two of them walked deep into the mountains. Sometimes there was no path, but she would find it after a few turns. Places like this are everywhere, so if an ordinary person walked there, they would have no idea where to go. But she had walked countless times, so she was very familiar with it. After about two hours of walking, they came to a valley with abandoned fields and a few dilapidated thatched houses.
"Sister, how could there be a house in the deep mountains?" Shi Tou was surprised.
Zhang Xingrong touched his head and said, "This is where hunters used to live, but no one has lived here for many years. Let's go and hunt game here!"
The stones were very rare. Following Li Yanling towards the thatched cottage, I couldn't help but look at them here and there.
"Sister, there's a big red bean tree over there too!"
When he saw the red bean tree, he couldn't help but get excited because he thought of the sweet red bean cakes!
Zhang Xingrong patted his head and said, "Well, we can make lots of red bean cakes in the future!"
Not only would they eat it, but they could also sell it at the night market. The so-called night market was actually the black market. She knew about the black market because her father told her.
"Yeah!" Shi Tou was very excited.
The two men entered one of the thatched huts, found some tools inside, and went out hunting.
"Sister, what's the use of these nets?" Shi Tou was confused.
