Chapter 6 Women hold up half the sky
"Be careful, don't go too far." Jiang Ruyue warned.
Although they are on the outskirts of Wild Wolf Hill, they may encounter wild boars or jackals.
As for wild wolves, I haven’t heard of anyone encountering them for many years.
In the past, wild wolves hurt people, and hunters from several villages hunted them several times before the wild wolves died and fled.
It has been four or five years since I heard of any wild wolves in Yelanggang.
Xu Ye came to Yelanggang because it was relatively safe, and the most he encountered were wild boars.
The power of the Hanyang weapon in his hand is pretty good, and it can kill a wild boar if it hits it.
The forest is very clean, and the bushes have been cut back by the villagers for firewood.
These trees are not allowed to be cut down, they all belong to the forest farm.
Such a forest will have some tender grass, so some herbivores will survive.
In the past, some people have hunted yellow pheasants in Yelanggang, and some have also hunted raccoon dogs.
Xu Ye really wanted to hunt a raccoon dog because its fur was relatively valuable, usually costing four or five yuan a piece. It was the most popular animal among hunters here.
Xu Ye didn't go far. It was difficult to find the way at night. He didn't want to get lost.
After walking around in a circle, Xu Ye returned to Jiang Ruyue.
Prey is not that easy to find. It is unrealistic to just walk around and encounter prey.
"I came back just in time. The pheasant is also cooked." Jiang Ruyue couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xu Ye coming back.
She was still worried that Xu Ye would not be found. Although it was the 17th of the lunar calendar and the moonlight was bright, it was still night after all.
Many people today have night blindness, and even those with moonlight vision have relatively average vision.
This kind of night blindness caused by lack of vitamin A due to malnutrition is relatively common, and Xu Ye also suffered from it before.
Jiang Ruyue also has it now, because she is also malnourished now.
"Bake it for a while longer. If it's not cooked properly, there may be parasites." After Xu Ye finished speaking, he sat down.
Jiang Ruyue nodded and continued to turn the wooden stick in her hand against the pheasant.
The surface of the pheasant has been roasted to a golden brown, and the oil dripping from the surface sizzles on the charcoal fire.
It smells really good.
Especially for Jiang Ruyue, it is so tempting that she can't wait to take a bite now.
"Xu Ye, let me follow you into the mountains to hunt from now on."
"You're right. If you don't hunt, you won't be able to pay off your debts." Jiang Ruyue looked straight at Xu Ye.
The shot tonight gave Jiang Ruyue confidence in Xu Ye's strength.
It is better for two people to go into the mountain with someone to take care of them than for Xu Ye to go into the mountain alone.
Xu Ye's relationship with the hunters in the village was average, and it would be very dangerous to go into the mountains with them.
Anything can happen in the mountains, and you can't leave your back to an untrustworthy person.
She and Xu Ye can trust each other, and it is more appropriate to go into the mountains together.
Moreover, this can also block everyone's opinions and make it difficult for people to find fault.
She knew that Xu Ye didn't accept help, but he just didn't want others to gossip.
"Sister Yue, it's a good thing that you are willing to go into the mountains with me."
"As long as we run frequently, life will be prosperous soon." Xu Ye said with a smile.
Today's women can really hold up half the sky, and their work is not ambiguous at all.
Some women are better at working than men and are more diligent than men.
"I thought you would refuse." Jiang Ruyue glanced at Xu Ye in surprise.
Before, Xu Ye was a bit old-fashioned in her impression, like an old scholar who accepted death.
"How come, women can hold up half the sky. Men can hunt, why can't women?"
"I was too rigid in the past, but now that I'm drunk, I've figured it out. In life, you still have to be flexible and flexible." Xu Ye still had a faint smell of alcohol on his body, and Jiang Ruyue could still smell it.
Jiang Ruyue couldn't help but nodded. She was actually somewhat similar to Xu Ye in the past.
Now that he can agree to let Xu Ye come to the house to help, he understands.
As she said that, she looked at Xu Ye cautiously.
"Sister, I have worked hard for you these years." Xu Ye looked at Jiang Ruyue tenderly.
When he first met Jiang Ruyue, Xu Ye was amazed by her.
At that time, she was participating in militia training with a gun on her back. She had two big ponytails and was more beautiful than the girls in the city. She stole the souls of many educated youths.
Jiang Ruyue said nothing and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"From now on, I will take care of everything. You don't have to do everything by yourself."
Feeling Xu Ye's gentle words, Jiang Ruyue couldn't hold back her tears.
Over the years, she had kept her pain to herself and did not dare to complain to anyone.

It's not easy for her parents' family either. Jiang Weijun is still in school, can't earn a few work points, and has a pair of twins who have just learned to walk.
There is also a blind grandma to take care of.
Although there is Xu Ye, a semi-married son-in-law, the family does not have much food left over.
In order to keep everyone fed, Jiang Ruoan and Xu Ye did not dare to have children even after a year of marriage.
If Xu Ye is asked to come to his own home to help, the pressure on his parents' family will increase. After all, Xu Ye and Jiang Ruo'an are missing two laborers.
Therefore, Jiang Ruyue understood Xu Ye's disapproval before.
She couldn't make life harder for her mother's family for the sake of herself and Li Dongming's family.
It's just that these years, she has been really tired, and she really wants a shoulder to lean on, and someone to listen to her complaints.
"Okay, it should be cooked now, otherwise it will be burnt." As he said that, Xu Ye inserted a wooden stick to the edge to cool down.
Jiang Ruyue nodded, looking away from Xu Ye and looking at the burning flames.
It seems that this flame can not only warm the body, but also warm the cold heart.
Xu Ye didn't make any extra moves. The two of them just sat quietly without saying anything.
A few minutes later, Jiang Ruyue sat up and took the roasted pheasant.
"It's not hot anymore. It's ready to eat. Eat it quickly." With that said, Jiang Ruoyue handed the pheasant to Xu Ye.
Xu Ye pulled the pheasant in half and handed the other half to Jiang Ruyue.
"Let's eat together. After eating, we have to continue looking for prey and go back when it gets light."
Jiang Ruyue hesitated and took the half of the pheasant.
If she doesn't eat, she really won't have much energy left.
The mountains here are all sloped, so walking is quite strenuous.
After eating the meat, the bones are given to Black Tiger.
There wasn't much meat in a pheasant, so the two of them finished it quickly.
When the black tiger finished eating the bones, Xu Ye let it get back into the basket.
The two continued walking towards the mountain, hoping to find new prey again.
Otherwise, it would be just a masked civet at night, which Xu Ye felt would not be enough.
After walking a certain distance, Xu Ye stopped.
"Sister, did you hear the sound?" Xu Ye asked excitedly in a low voice.
Jiang Ruyue pricked up her ears, then shook her head, saying no.
"Let's go, follow me."
Xu Ye pulled Jiang Ruyue and walked towards the direction where the sound came from.
