Chapter 106: into the mountains together
Chapter 106 Entering the Mountain Together
Just in time to see a pheasant startled from the grass, clucking and fluttering out with colorful long wings, he had no time to draw an arrow and bow, and smashed a wild pear in his hand, and the pheasant screamed and fell.
"Hit it!" Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin cheered and rushed to pick it up.
Zhao Liya couldn't help showing surprise, her eyes sparkled, and she couldn't help applauding and laughing: "Wow, Brother Zhou is so amazing!"
Zhou Hansheng was sent by his family to Shuzhong to learn martial arts from his childhood. He is talented, smart and hardworking. He has heard countless praises since he was a child.
He never felt that those empty words had any meaning, and his face was always as indifferent as his heart. For this reason, people praised him for being so calm and steady at such a young age!
But hearing Zhao Liya's praise at this moment, Zhou Hansheng was sincerely happy and proud. He smiled and said to Zhao Liya: "It's just a trick, it's not worth anything."
Zhao Liya smiled and said: "Only Brother Zhou is so capable, he is qualified to say that in such a tone, but if it is another person, he can't say it again!"
She couldn't help being envious: "Although I can also have some boxing skills, I am definitely not as good as Brother Zhou."
"Oh?" Zhou Hansheng couldn't help but looked at her in surprise: "It turns out that you can also punch and kick, which is good, and it's safer this way."
Zhao Liya was still a little worried that he would say that the girl's family is too rude, but she felt relieved when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Well, I think so too!"
Zhou Hansheng said again: "However, unless it is absolutely necessary, it is better not to fight with others."
Um? Zhao Liya tentatively joked: "Could it be that Brother Zhou thinks that it's too rude for a girl to fight with others?"
"How come?" Zhou Hansheng was surprised: "It's just that you are a woman after all, and your physical strength is not as good as that of a man. If you face some strong men, you may suffer a disadvantage. If there is something, you can avoid it, and if you can't avoid it, you have to Attack them unprepared, strike decisively, and never be entangled in battle."
These words touched Zhao Liya's heart!
Zhao Liya was immediately elated, and her smile gradually spread: "Brother Zhou is absolutely right! I don't fight with people easily." In fact, she is quite gentle, and her image cannot be ruined.
I feel emotion and emotion in my heart, Brother Zhou is not only good-looking, but also has great ability and good character. He has not yet had the stink of despising women and not taking women seriously in this era. How can such a good person be complained? People like it!
It's just a pity that it's so good that she can't afford it.
How cheating!
Zhao Liya couldn't help but sighed softly.
While the two were talking, Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin had already jumped and ran back grabbing the clucking injured pheasant.
"Sister! Brother Zhou!"
"Look! We've got it! We've got it!"
"What a beautiful pheasant!"
Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng rushed to meet her. Zhao Liya took the pheasant from the two children and talked to them with a smile.
The two children were very excited when they entered the mountain, and they couldn't calm down for a moment. Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng accompanied them to run all over the mountain, picking a lot of wild fruits, the two children picked up many beautiful leaves, and saw several predators The little squirrel, with small black eyes, a big fluffy tail, and glossy brown fur, is so cute.
Not long after, Yu Xiaofang ran over to them with a smile: "Come with me, the boss found a piece of wild chestnuts on the mountain ridge ahead, let's smash the chestnuts!"
"Okay! Go, go!" Zhao Liya's eyes lit up, and she greeted the two children and Zhou Hansheng.
Both she was just about to eat chestnuts, and it happened by such a coincidence.
Stir-fried chestnuts in sugar, chestnut syrup, chestnut cake, etc., as well as her favorite roast chicken with chestnuts and stewed pork belly with chestnuts and winter bamboo shoots!
Many households in Zaihu Village and Bajiaozhai have chestnut trees, and some have the kind of old trees that have grown for decades. They grow on the mountain, with luxuriant branches and leaves like giant umbrellas, as high as seven or eight meters, eleven or twelve meters high. There are rice, and the fruit is densely packed every year, and it is full of hedgehogs when you look up.
She originally wanted to ask the villagers for some, but now that she can do it herself, it is naturally better.
Yu Xiaofang quickly led them to this mountain ridge, and a large piece of wild chestnut trees really grew on the gentle ridge.
The tree is not very high, you can climb up to pick off the thorny chestnuts, and use a stone to break the outer thorny shells, and you can get chestnuts one by one.
Qu Yutao, Luo Shuyan, and two or three followers of Zhou Hansheng are also here, and Zhao Liya and the others are here, joking and joining in.
There were a lot of chestnuts on the tree, Yu Xiaofang and the others easily got a lot of them, Zhao Liya and the others smashed them together.
Zhao Liya had seen such a chestnut in her previous life, but she hadn't seen it in this life, so she was very surprised by the shouting and tutting of two children who had never seen it before.
The thorns on the outside of the chestnut are too strong, she did not dare to let the two children get it, Luo Shuyan smiled and asked the two children to look for it in the surrounding grass, "There will be a lot of fallen mature chestnuts in the grass, there are no thorn shells, Well, it’s just like this one by one, can you go and look for it?”
The siblings felt that looking for chestnuts was more fun than smashing chestnuts, so they happily went there.
Zhao Lin quickly found one, it was black and plump, very beautiful, and he proudly told the adults that he got a lot of compliments and searched harder.
Seeing Zhao Lixiang, he became energetic and wanted to compare himself with his younger brother. Both of them were extremely motivated.
Not to mention, they really found a lot!
When everyone left the mountain to go back in the afternoon, it can be said to be full of harvest.
The medium-sized back basket was full of chestnuts, estimated to weigh about thirty catties. There are also many wild persimmons and pears, and five or six winter bamboo shoots were dug on the way back.
In addition to the pheasant hunted by Zhou Hansheng, Lin Mo and the others also harvested a wild boar weighing 130 to 50 catties. It's not too big, but it's not too small. There are so many people eating for three or four days in this weather.
After all, it’s not yet the twelfth lunar month for making bacon and sausages, so it’s not easy to keep this meat for too long.
Back to the village, Widow Qu and Aunt Li Shiyi hurried into the kitchen to boil boiling water for the wild boar to shave. The backyard was very busy with work.
When they carried wild boars into the village, the villagers were very envious.
"Such a big wild boar is full of meat, it will take several days to finish it!"
"Lin Mo is very good at hunting, it's not surprising."
"The Zhao family is really lucky, Lin Mo is so close to them, there will be endless meat in the future!"
"That's not true. I've seen it three times recently. Lin Mo's cousins sent pheasants and hares to Zhao's house."
"Why didn't you send it to the Luo family before?"
As long as Lin Mo is mentioned, the topic seems to always turn to the Luo family in the end. There is a moment of silence for everyone, and then they all laugh.
"Then I definitely won't give it away, I won't give it away either!"
