Chapter 18 Going up the mountain
Zhang Xingning brought out a whole small pot.
When I came back, I put the steamed seafood in a basin, poured a little soy sauce, and placed it on the table.
"What a pity for such a good crab. If it were rolled in a pan, it would definitely be crunchy and crispy."
Tan Shaoyang patted him on the shoulder and pointed to the crab in the bucket. Seafood, said in a casual tone, "I brought you a lot, enough for you to eat for two meals, you can do whatever you want."
Zhang Xingning: "..."
Putting his lips, he looked confused. He really wanted to eat, but he was afraid that his butt would suffer after eating.
"Third cousin, why didn't you just blow it up for me? My mother would not dare to blame you."
Tan Shaoyang shrugged, he had done this kind of thing to an unlucky child in his previous life. Although my aunt didn't say it clearly, she was unhappy with it.
He doesn't want to touch anyone's eyebrows. He is unscrupulous and can't get anything good, so he doesn't want to do it anymore.
He came to buy food, and it was a matter of mutual benefit. It should be a happy thing, but I didn't want to make people unhappy or complain about him.
"I'm not good at cooking. You can eat whatever you want."
While talking, the Zhang family came back.
Grandma Zhang saw her grandson with a smile on her sallow face and wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, "It's Shaoyang? Grandma hasn't seen you for several days. How is your family?"
Tan Shaoyang was also very kind to his grandmother when he saw her. The two elders cherished them more. They also got a share of his cousin, and he was happy to get close to them.
"Grandma, don't worry, everything is fine!"
"My brothers in the village want to buy some rice, and they want to keep the fertilizer out of other people's fields, so they came to you."
After hearing the purpose, my aunt He was very happy and said, "If you don't have any rice, come here and get it. We have a lot of it at home!" Pull the dried rice back.”
Anyone can sell it anyway, so there is no need to pull it out to the granary, which saves trouble!
Tan Shaoyang nodded, but did not take her polite words at heart. If he did not give money and took away the rice, his aunt would be the first to have a long face.
He still knows this point of propriety.
Grandma only has one son and one daughter, and he is not willing to do anything that would upset Tan's mother. After all, a married sister-in-law and her sister-in-law still have to control their differences.
A meal is something that all guests can enjoy.
Now the fields are divided into households. As long as you work hard, you don’t have to worry about having food to eat.
You can still sell some of the food you can't eat all the time after paying the land tax, and you can save some money in a year.
It was past two o'clock, the sun was still very hot, but I went out.
Zhang Xingning looked at Tan Shaoyang reluctantly. He also wanted to stay at home and didn't want to go out and be exposed to the sun. This weather can make people dry.
Tan Shaoyang waved his hand, "Go and get busy, I'll stay at home to help dry the rice." It is relatively easy to peel the rice to dry it, as long as it is not covered with dark clouds.
No matter how much Zhang Xingning pouted, he was kicked out.
This is a busy farming period, and the two guns are busy non-stop. The strong labor force must not be let go.
Tan Shaoyang looked at his child's character, smiled, shook his head, and followed suit.
For two days in a row, the weather was good and the rice was dry and dry. When the time comes, the hair dryer will blow off the shriveled rice and it can be stored.
On this day, at noon, the Zhang family was sleeping comfortably. Zhang Xingning secretly pulled Tan Shaoyang out,
“Cousin, let’s go up the mountain. We found a wolf dog at the foot of the mountain some time ago. There are traces of it, let’s go hunt one and come back, it’s been a long time since we’ve had meat.”
Tan Shaoyang's heart skipped a beat. In his previous life, his uncle was injured by a wild boar. Could it be that this kid went up the mountain to hunt the prey and then rescued him? This explains it clearly.
He said, according to his uncle's calm character, how could he go up the mountain to hunt during busy hours! It turned out that I was going to save this kid.
It’s true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!
You dare to run up without even considering how much you weigh. Will those extremely hungry prey show mercy?
"Forget it, I'm afraid if you don't catch the wolf dog, your intestines will flow out after being stepped on."
"Isn't it easy to eat meat? I'll go to the town and buy you two kilograms. Don't risk yourself, I can't be held responsible for anything that happens."
Zhang Xingning grabbed him and advised, "What should I buy? Don't spend money. Isn't it better if we have something ready?"
"Just go with me. There will be more safety with more people, otherwise I will go by myself."
"Others can hunt the prey, so I can't be a loser! I I am quite confident in myself.”
Tan Shaoyang sighed, and then picked up a sharp fork, presumably for pit use. It would be safer to have a tool in hand.
At least you are not bare-handed, and you will not have the ability to resist if you encounter trouble, which is an extra layer of security.
Zhang Xingning swung the rope in his hand and threw it out skillfully, "What's the use of that thing? The wolf dog has to wrap the rope around its neck. Once it is tightened, it has no ability to resist."
Tan Shaoyang sighed, with such an innocent character, no wonder he would suffer!
"What do you care about me? I can't use it to defend myself!"
"In case of encountering a strong wild boar, will your rope come in handy?"
Zhang Xingning put on an unbelieving face, "Cousin, you are overthinking. We are not going into the deep mountains and old forests. Walking around outside, wild boars will only come out at night."
"How is it possible for you to encounter wild boars in the clear sky?"
Tan Shaoyang shrugged, "You have to know. , everything is possible, what if something you think is impossible happens?”
“People have to learn to prepare for rainy days. If you want to do this, you must at least ensure your own safety. ”
Zhang Xingning listened and grabbed an extra long machete.
The two of them went up the mountain like this.
Zhang Xingning had obviously already squatted a bit, and took him directly to the location where the wolf dog appeared. As soon as he passed by, he saw a shocking scene.
A fat sow was actually fighting with two wolfdogs. The wolfdogs were very smart and surrounded her from two directions. The wild boar snorted angrily and became very irritable at first sight.
All the haystacks next to it were flattened.
Two different types of competition, no one is convinced by the other.
Wolf dogs are good at biting, and wild boars are good at charging, using their own strengths to attack each other's weaknesses.
The wild boar in the mountain forest is no joke. Once it collides with it, it will definitely overturn its prey.
This statement was quickly verified. An approaching wolf dog bit the wild boar's neck, and was then angrily knocked away by it.
The disparity in physique, the contest of strength.
The wild boar crushed them unilaterally, and the wolf-dog was defeated.
The wild boar took this opportunity and stepped heavily on the wolf dog. Not only that, it lowered its head and bit, and the very wise wolf dog was no match for it.
Soon he was lying dying, unable to resist.
Tan Shaoyang snorted softly, "That's what you said there is no danger."
