Chapter 14 Three people go into the mountains together
The two sisters and Li Qing watched around the rocket stove for a while before going to cook.
Xu Ye went to the yard to wash his face, and then tamed the leopard for a while.
If you take it into the mountains at night, you need to get used to it.
"Xu Ye, are you still going into the mountains at night?" Zhang Gui climbed up the wall of his house and asked condescendingly.
"Of course, uncle Gui, do you want to come with us?" Xu Ye glanced at Zhang Gui.
"I won't go. You can take the Three Treasures with you." Zhang Gui's face turned red.
He ate that muntjac root tonight, so he must stay at home and work hard.
Let alone tonight, he is not planning to go for the next week.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be in vain?
Therefore, I want to entrust Zhang Sanbao to Xu Ye's care.
"Okay, we'll set off after dinner." Xu Ye agreed directly.
After all, the Zhang family has a soil spray, a hunting bow, and three hounds.
If we go into the mountains together, it will be of great help.
There are many cousins in the Zhang family, and their voices are very important in the village.
Xu Ye took Zhang Sanbao with him because of this.
After all, it is easy to be envied by others if you gain too much, and it is also easy to be tripped up by others.
In addition, Zhang Gui's eldest brother is a good wall-breaker in the brigade, and he is often asked to pound walls.
Xu Ye naturally wanted to ask him for help, and Zhang Gui would inevitably ask for help.
Dinner was about the same as lunch, and the meat was left over from lunch, but for Jiang Ruyue and the others, it was already like the Chinese New Year.
Xu Ye forced himself to finish a large bowl of white rice mixed with sweet potato shreds. After all, hunting consumes a lot of energy. If you don't eat well, you won't be able to run far.
After eating, Zhang Sanbao brought all the equipment and led the hound to the Li family's yard.
"Brother Ye, I heard that you are going to build a wall. Is it a courtyard wall?" Zhang Sanbao looked at the loess in the yard and asked involuntarily.
"Yes, I will have to ask your uncle to help me then. I don't know if I can do it." Xu Ye joked.
"Look at what you said, Brother Ye. My uncle is not a great master. My father will tell him tomorrow and he will be able to help at any time." Zhang Sanbao said, patting his chest.
"Okay, I'll be relieved with your words." Xu Ye grinned.
"Sister, are you ready? It's time for us to set off." Xu Ye turned around and said.
"Here we come." Jiang Ruyue walked out with a backpack on her back, and then handed the shotgun to Xu Ye.
Jiang Ruyue was very well prepared tonight. Not only did she bring a pot of cold water, but she also brought some leftover rice, pine oil lamps and matches.
In addition, there is a raincoat.
This raincoat was brought back by Li Dongming when he was discharged from the army. It was something he had always cherished, so he did not sell it.
Although the moon is bright and the stars are sparse tonight, the situation in the mountains is changeable, so be prepared.
"Give me the stuff, I'm strong." Xu Ye handed the gun back.
Jiang Ruyue hesitated for a moment, then took the gun and handed the backpack to Xu Ye.
Xu Ye took the basket on his back. It was heavy, but his steps were steady, as if the heavy burden was just a piece of cake for him.
Zhang Sanbao glanced at Xu Ye with some envy. He also wanted a beautiful woman to follow him into the mountains.
The news about Xu Ye moving into Li's house spread throughout the village.
Everyone said that Xu Ye was here to help, because Li Dongming had found several people before just to help.
Although those people coveted Jiang Ruyue's beauty, they were not worried about not getting a wife, and they were not willing to come to help the Li family.
Everyone knows that being a gangster is like being a bully, and the children they give birth to cannot have their own surname.
Being a door-to-door son-in-law is better than being a gangster.
But bringing a wife to the house to help him, that's another matter. Although Zhang Sanbao was curious, he didn't ask any more questions.
They left the village relatively early. When many people saw the three of them leading hounds and carrying shotguns, they knew they were going into the mountains to hunt.
In addition to envy, everyone also has some expectations.
After the deer meat was distributed to twenty people this morning, one of them shared another pound.
Meat, everyone wants to eat it.
If Xu Ye and the others can still catch prey tonight, those who haven't eaten meat can have a taste of meat.
If you hunt a wild boar, you can not only eat the meat, but also exchange it for some wild boar oil. Wouldn’t that be more delicious?
After saying hello many times along the way, the three of them walked out of the village and set foot on the path into the mountains.
The moonlight was like a wash, pouring on the winding mountain road, adding a touch of silver to the deep night.
In the mountains, there are occasionally one or two calls of night birds, adding a bit of mystery and silence.
The mountain is so bare that there are only a few insects.

Xu Ye paid attention to the situation around him and held the slingshot in his hand, ready to attack at any time.
Most of the time there is no need for a gun, so Zhang Sanbao not only brought a troll but also a hunting bow.
The three of them didn't talk much. After all, hunting requires one to listen to everything.
Once we start chatting, there is no chance to listen to the sounds of animals.
Before they knew it, they had been walking for more than an hour.
The mountain road began to become rugged, with weeds and vines intertwined. Every step must be taken carefully to avoid being scratched by sharp blades.
Xu Ye walked in the front, Jiang Ruoyue in the middle, and Zhang Sanbao followed closely behind.
The hounds surrounded them, sometimes sniffing and sometimes stopping, as if they were exploring this ancient mountain forest in their own unique way.
Jiang Ruyue followed Xu Ye closely, and she might bump into Xu Ye's back if she wasn't careful.
The cool night breeze passed through the treetops and gently brushed her cheek, bringing a bit of fresh breath.
As we go deeper, the mountain road becomes steeper and the soil under our feet becomes softer. Every step needs to be stepped firmly to prevent slipping.
Xu Ye looked back from time to time to check on Jiang Ruyue.
After all, she is a woman, and her physical fitness is naturally inferior to that of men.
This is determined by physiological structure. Women have less muscles than men.
But for now, Jiang Ruyue is in good condition.
Under the moonlight, the mountain forest seemed to be given life. Every tree and leaf swayed gently in the light and shadow, making a rustling sound.
The mountain road became narrower and narrower as we walked, the trees on both sides became denser and denser, and we couldn't see very far with the moonlight.
Xu Ye had to slow down and observe his surroundings more carefully to prevent unknown dangers from lurking.
He was secretly glad that Zhang Sanbao and the hounds were there, and their keen senses could detect potential dangers in advance.
As time went by, sweat gradually soaked Jiang Ruyue and Zhang Sanbao's clothes, but Xu Ye didn't sweat a drop.
Before they knew it, they had been in the mountain for two hours.
But in the past two hours, they didn't see any animal that they could take action on.
Finally, in a relatively open space, Xu Ye stopped.
He looked back at Jiang Ruyue and Zhang Sanbao, and said slowly: "Just take a rest here. I hope this forest can surprise us."
Zhang Sanbao and Jiang Ruyue nodded and found a relatively comfortable place to sit down. The hounds formed a circle and guarded them vigilantly.
"Brother Ye, do you think we will encounter muntjacs at night?" Zhang Sanbao took out a pack of cigarettes rolled by himself from his pocket and prepared to give Xu Ye the first one.
At this time, his hand was held down by Xu Ye.
