At this time, Zhou Huaian went to Sun Rui's house early in the morning and asked him to ask for leave.
There was nothing wrong with asking for leave. Since his brother asked, he directly told him that his wife did not come back last night, left a note, and planned to spend the night in the mountains.
Then Sun Rui, the good brother who was originally going to help Zhou Huaian ask for leave, no longer had the heart to go to work.
How could he feel at ease letting his good brother go into the mountains alone?
If my brother has something to do, then I will definitely accompany him!
Anyway, they are not the only two people working in the village, there are other people working there.
After discussing it, the two went straight to knock on Feng Xue's door and asked her husband Zhang Jianguo to help ask for leave for the two of them.
Zhang Jianguo was also a very easy-going person. Thinking that the two people must have something to do when they asked for leave, he agreed without saying a word.
It’s just that the time when he knocked on the door was a bit early. Most people get up at 6:00, but he knocked on the door at around 5:00.
After waking others up, they would definitely not be able to fall asleep, so Zhang Jianguo did not go back to sleep, but went to the kitchen diligently to prepare breakfast.
After Zhou Huaian and his companion asked for leave, they took hatchets and machetes for self-defense, bypassed most of the houses in the village, and ran straight into the mountains.
The first destination of the two people was the yam field. Although they knew it might no longer be there, they still wanted to check it out, just in case?
Su Qingxue had no idea that someone was looking for her. She was collecting various mountain products and was having a great time.
Especially when I see the piles of mountain products in the space increasing in number, I feel a special sense of accomplishment.
Occasionally, she would come across a particularly large beehive and would not miss it. Although she had already put a lot of it into the space last time, and even soaked the bee pupae and bees in wine, and the honey was all packed separately, she never thought that these things were too much.
In addition to the drink he had himself, there was also drink for the people in the cowshed, as well as his parents-in-law and children who lived far away in Beijing, so no matter how much he drank, it was never too much.
Although other people in the bullpen also benefited from it and ate a lot of good things from me, when I thought about the huge network of connections behind them, I felt that this loss was not something that I could not bear.
Su Qingxue admitted that she had a bit of a speculative mentality, but she felt that this was normal. Anyone who knew what would happen in the future would inevitably have some speculative thoughts in his mind.
In addition, their own family members often send packages by mail, so they don’t actually get much benefit from it.
And sometimes they use their own things and subsidize themselves in other ways. Although they themselves are unable to repay, their family members outside are quite capable.
So relatively speaking, we are just taking on the reputation of taking care of them. No matter how much you spend on food and other supplies, they will make up for it in other ways, so we are not getting much advantage.
It was almost noon, when there were about fifty kilograms of honey and twenty kilograms of bee pupae in the space, that Su Qingxue began to think about preparing to go back.
As for Zhou Huaian looking for her, sorry, she knew nothing about it.
The two groups missed each other by coincidence.
In addition to receiving gifts from various merchants, each of them also captured a lot of prey.
Zhou Huaian only had some small prey, and the two of them didn't dare to go directly after the big ones. They always kept their goal in mind. They went up the mountain to look for someone, so they would not provoke the big prey if possible.
Su Qingxue was the opposite of them. She felt that it was meaningless to hunt small prey, so she went straight to look for big prey.
However, if I come across a large flock of pheasants, I will just collect half of them because there are enough of them and I don’t have to worry about wasting time.
I will also visit their nests and am particularly interested in the eggs laid by pheasants, which I can store and eat at any time.
After having lunch on the mountain, Su Qingxue took a detour to the reservoir deep in the mountains.
One is to prepare to catch more fish, and the other is to see if there are any wild ducks over there, so that he can collect more wild duck eggs and salt them himself.
Although there is a reed marsh with wild ducks on the other side of the river in the village, everyone in the village knows that place. So if you want to pick wild duck eggs, you have to compete with many people, which is really unnecessary.
Others were thinking about adding a delicious dish to their homes, while I was thinking about enriching the taste of the food. In addition, after my mental power scanned, everything would be confiscated. If others wanted to find it, they would have to wait for a long time. So I thought about it and gave up, and left a little for others.
Su Qingxue came to the reservoir. It was particularly cold there at this time. The wind blew and she felt chilly all over.
Fortunately, the water surface has not frozen yet, but when I touched the water with my hand, it felt like it would freeze in the next two days.
The entire reservoir is very large, so we walked around it directly, but we didn’t find any trace of wild ducks.
Su Qingxue guessed that maybe this place didn't have it and they should change to another place.
It seems that I have to ask the children in the village someday. It’s never a bad idea to ask children about the gossip in the village.
Sometimes adults always think that children are still young, so they don’t try to conceal what they say. But in fact, children are very smart and will remember what adults say directly in their hearts.
Since there were no wild ducks, I simply took out a fishing net from the space and threw a lot of internal organs, which were things that fish didn't like to eat, into it. After throwing them down, they would quickly attract a lot of fish.
In fact, in winter, the village will organize people to fish in this reservoir, usually around the Chinese New Year, so that they can add to the dishes during the New Year. So I came here early and just caught enough to eat.
Unlike when I first came here, I saw this reservoir and fished like crazy, thinking that there was no one there. I caught a lot of fish and sold a lot of them on the black market. I also made an agreement with the people in the black market to sell another batch during the Chinese New Year.
But she found out that this was the fishing spot for the villagers. How could she bear to take the things in the village for herself and sell them on the black market?
The next time I went fishing, I didn’t dare to be so crazy. I kept all the fish I caught for myself.
After all, you can't be too extravagant with the fish you catch; you have to leave some for the people in the village.
Su Qingxue set down two nets in the reservoir, and the total weight of the fish caught was about 200 kilograms. She stopped when she felt that enough was enough.
My hands were so cold that they turned red, but I always felt it was inconvenient to work with gloves, so I stopped after I had enough food for my family.
I looked at the sky outside and it was probably around four o'clock. I didn't go home last night, so I had to go back early today.
