My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 120 Preparing for Hunting

   "Hey, Da, Uncle Fugui..."

   Liu Ni'er couldn't hide anymore. With two hands behind her back, she slowly moved out from behind the big tree with shy eyebrows and smiled at the two of them.

  Wang Lixian frowned and scolded: "You don't have a smiley face, you dare not go home when you get home, what are you doing?"

"what?"

   "I didn't!"

   Liu Ni'er shook her head blankly, "Da, what are you talking about, when did I cause you trouble after I went to school, even seeing Uncle Fugui here today, I wanted to hide and scare you all."

   said and laughed again: "I didn't expect that you will find it before you hide it."

  Wang Lixian's face became more and more ugly when he heard this.

   He could guess with his toes that the monkey was not telling the truth.

   went behind the big tree and looked around, but didn't see anything hidden.

   then glanced at Liu Ni'er and saw that the leather monkey kept his hands behind his back. When he looked at it, he wanted to sneak behind Chen Ling and immediately became angry.

   "Okay, I've learned to talk nonsense with my eyes open."

   "What's in your hand?"

   "Nothing."

   Liu Ni'er saw that she had been discovered, her face turned pale with fright, she shook her head like a rattle, and kept hiding behind Chen Ling.

  Chen Ling had been standing next to him and smirked, wanting to see how this baby was cleaned up today.

However, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Liu Ni'er's two hands, and he couldn't smile immediately. He frowned and grabbed Liu Ni'er's arm. After a glance, his right hand was fine, but there were only a few scratches, and his left hand was a bit miserable. , There is a piece of flesh missing directly under the thumb, even if something is pasted on the wound, it is still bloody, and blood is constantly oozing out.

   Liu Ni'er looked at Chen Ling and then at her own father. Seeing that Wang Lixian's face was turning black, she was so frightened that she shrank her neck and didn't dare to speak.

   "Brother Xian, don't rush to fight."

  Chen Ling saw Wang Lixian grit his teeth and couldn't hold back the fire, so he hurriedly reached out to stop him.

   turned his head to look at Liu Ni'er: "What was this biting for?"

   "A big old turtle."

   Liu Ni'er looked up at Wang Lixian and said timidly.

  Wang Lixian heard this, and his anger rose up: "Okay, okay, it seems that you have been beaten less in the past six months, and you dare to play in the water."

   "Fugui, don't stop me, don't give this monkey a memory today, he almost doesn't know his father's surname."

   "I didn't go into the water, I really didn't..."

   Liu Ni'er was grabbed by Chen Ling's arm and couldn't run, so she yelled anxiously.

   With this shout, a large group of people also ran over.

   Seeing Liu Nier's hand hurt like this, she was both worried and angry.

   "The old turtle has poison in his mouth, I'll go get some medicine."

  Wang Susu hurried to Chen Guoping's house upon seeing this, and Si Ni'er and Wu Ni'er also followed.

   It is said that poison is not poison, there are many germs in the mouth of wild animals, and it is easy to be infected on hot days.

   Aunt Wang stroked Liu Ni'er's arm lightly, and looked at Liu Ni'er's eyes again, her face looked much better.

  In the countryside, adults want to know if their children secretly go to the river to take a bath, there are two simple methods, one is used and the other is accurate.

   One look at the skin and the other at the eyes.

   Although the skin of the bathed bear is dry, as long as it is scratched with a fingernail, white marks will appear.

   In addition, after diving, the eyeballs will be covered with red blood.

   Aunt Wang tried this, and she knew that Liu Ni'er was not talking nonsense on this matter.

   "It was not in the water."

   "Why did you catch the old turtle before you got into the water?"

   "I caught it."

Liu Ni'er sucked her nose hard, and said with a pale face: "I first caught a small one, and I was about to come back, and then a big one came up. That big old turtle is big, bigger than a washbasin, and is not afraid of people. After eating the bait, I also ate the small fish in the cofferdam. I wanted to catch it, but I bit my hand without noticing it, and almost dragged me into the water. Gotta be bitten off."

   Talking about this, Liu Ni'er got excited.

  Wang Lixian became angrier the more he listened, and it was not easy to beat Chen Ling in front of him, so he couldn't help but kicked him.

   "Deserved bite."

   Huchihuchi turned his head away.

   He is angry Liu Nier does not tell the truth.

   But the little doll was injured while playing crazy, so most of the time, he didn't dare to tell the parents.

   After a while, Wang Susu, Si Nier and Wu Nier came back with some iodine and disinfectant.

   A large group of people surrounded him, while giving Liu Ni’er medicine, while scolding him.

   "Look at Dada, so can't your baby be calm?"

   "Other people in the village have poor mouths. When did our family make you poor mouths, let alone Uncle Fugui often rectifies and eats. Every time I don't forget to call you over there."

   "This old turtle will make you greedy."

   "I'm not greedy."

   Liu Nier immediately retorted loudly.

"what is that?"

   Liu Ni'er wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it, she just muttered: "Anyway, I'm not greedy."

   "You are not allowed to go to the water if you are not greedy."

Aunt Wang glanced at her son, saw that Wang Lixian was only smoking a suffocating cigarette, and saw her daughter-in-law with a worried look on her face, she was busy with the inside and outside, she pressed her cane and gritted her teeth: "You are a scourge. Yangzi, I won't give you peace of mind at all for your mother, and I will go to school with your aunt in the county town after a while."

   Liu Nier is a solid baby, not afraid of being beaten or sent to the county town to go to school.

  Because there was something about the third sister in front of him, he was afraid of being told that he would not give his parents peace of mind.

   He didn't cry after being bitten off by the old turtle, but when he heard this, the tears almost came down.

   "Xiko is always hungry at home, so we went to find something to eat for her."

"Later Zhuwa said that if Xizi's aunt could give birth to a baby, she would be good to Xizi, so we followed the recipe to catch the turtle and the grasshopper. As long as we eat enough turtles and grasshoppers for a month, Xizi My aunt can give birth to a baby."

   Liu Nier said these words.

   Everyone present was stunned, you look at me, I look at you, for a while I didn't know what to say.

   After a long while, Wang Lixian sighed and knocked on the cigarette stick.

   got up and said to Liu Ni'er, "Why are you crying? Wash your face and prepare to eat. Uncle Fugui brought a badger, and we will eat badger meat later."

   Then he got into the kitchen and helped Chen Ling make the fire.

  …

  In the kitchen, Chen Ling braised the badger meat.

   Badgers should be braised in red, otherwise the meat will not be rotten and hard to chew.

   At this time, after listening to Wang Lixian's words, he was quite surprised: "Didn't they distribute relief food after the disaster? It stands to reason that even if Xizi is with Baoshuan and his wife, they usually don't have Uncle Sangui to take care of them, so why can't they have enough to eat?"

"Ugh."

   Wang Lixian shook his head.

   "Uncle Sangui's food has been given to Baoshuan and Herbs. Looking for someone to help Baoshuan build a house, you can't even ignore the meal, right?"

   "Besides, there are not many relief food, and if you can't stand it, it's only the vanilla lady who can make Uncle Sangui and Xizi have a better time."

  Chen Ling was speechless for a while.

  Wang Li offered benevolence and righteousness, and Aunt Wang and Liu Yuzhi were not unreasonable women either.

   If other people know that their dolls are looking for some kind of remedies, and the old turtle almost bites off their fingers, even if they don’t go to Xizi, they will definitely not let them play with the little girl in the future.

   Little doll has no bad thoughts.

   It’s just that some adults are too inhumane.

"Let's not talk about that. The relief food is not enough for two months, and the food that has been soaked is not enough to sell to the feed factory. Our team is going to go hunting in the mountains when we are ready to build a house. Then you can follow. "

   Wang Lixian wiped the sweat from his face and said.

  The firewood in the stove burns vigorously, and the kitchen is as hot as a steamer.

   "Hunting?"

  Chen Ling pondered for a while: "I really want to go, but after the new house is built, I also want to surround the 30 acres of orchards at the foot of the mountain, so that I can plant and raise something in the future, which is also convenient."

   "What are you doing surrounded by? Are you planning to set up a factory?"

   "Don't set up factories."

   "What are you worried about if you don't set up a factory, just flip over your yard, the place is not small, it's enough for you to toss."

   "I really want to surround the orchards. After the autumn harvest, there will be no more than two months. The fields will not be busy at that time, and it will be convenient to ask for help."

   "Now every household has no food and no income, so I'm in a panic."

   "Well, I'm not in a hurry, after all, this job can't be done in a day or two."

  Chen Ling nodded and replied.

   In fact, at first he didn’t think that anyone in the village would help. Thirty mu of land is not a small project. It’s different from building a house. A few families and a few households can help build it.

   still had to find someone from outside to build it.

   But now I heard Wang Lixian say that the team was going to organize hunting in the mountains, so he became interested, so it would be fine to postpone it for a while.

   The two were talking, and the badger meat was already cooked.

   Lift the lid of the pot, and the hot aroma oozes out.

  Although the weather is relatively hot and affects people's appetite, after the smell of this strong fragrance wafts out, I can't help but secrete drool frantically.

  Wang Lixian fished it out, and everyone brought a bowl to the table and put it in their mouths.

  Badgers are all lean meat after the fat is stripped, very tender, chewing slightly in the mouth, and full of pure and fragrant juice. It is really refreshing and delicious to eat with cold beer on a hot day.

  Chen Ling and Wang Susu have never eaten badger meat, which is really enjoyable.

   "It's so fragrant, Uncle Fugui, the badger meat is really delicious."

   Liu Ni'er licked her lips, "Didn't you say there is a litter of badgers in the field, how about we go and block them at night?"

   "It's blocked, it's not safe at night. I saw a lot of footprints and feces in the ditch at the foot of the mountain today, and there are bones left over from eating. Don't be a wolf coming down the mountain at night, and it's over."

   "Huh? Are there wolves?"

   Liu Nier was startled immediately.

   "It's normal to have wolves. These days, all towns and villages are busy building houses, and no one is going up the mountain. It's not surprising that wolves and wild boars run down."

  Wang Lixian picked his teeth, and then said to Chen Ling: "When Lishan went to Nanshan to fetch water a few days ago, he saw wild boars. Now there is no food in the fields, so don't worry about them, just don't enter the village."

  Chen Ling nodded.

   "Second uncle has also seen wild boars. Pig baby told me that the second uncle saw that the engineering team in the city caught two old turtles from Laohewan.

   "I went there today, just fishing casually, and I ran into an old turtle that was bigger than a washbasin."

   Liu Nier's scar was healed and she forgot about the pain, her eyes were rolling, and she began to think about it.

   "I don't know if wild boar and old turtle meat are as good as badger meat, I haven't eaten it yet."

   "Have you ever eaten, Uncle Fugui?"

   "I have eaten it when I was a child. Wild pork is good, but old turtle is not good."

  Chen Ling smiled, and took another bowl of badger meat from the pot.

   There are many people who eat fish and shrimp in the village, but not many people who eat turtles.

   is the same reason, this thing has no oil and water, and it is too fishy, ​​difficult to handle, and it also costs oil. It is more fragrant than this.

   Unless someone catches it to make up for it, usually no one eats it.

   Of course, now let Chen Ling do it, the taste is definitely different, but he has no interest in that stuff.

   "It's alright, don't bother you Uncle Fugui."

  Wang Lixian saw Liu Nier still want to ask, and gave him a slap on the back of the head.

   "When your rich uncle's house is built, our brigade will go hunting in the mountains. We are lucky to hit wild boars. When you have food, you should be honest recently and stop running around."
