The two walked quickly and returned to the foot of the mountain in a short time. The group of aunties were still there. Seeing the two girls coming down the mountain, they smiled and said: "Qingyun, Qiu girl, how many fungi did you pick up? Are you going back now?"
"There's a small half-back basket." Su Qingyun said with a smile, "We can't pick them all at once, we have to leave some for others. You can go and take a look later. There are still quite a few."
As soon as she said this, the group of aunts immediately burst into laughter and said, "This is a good relationship. You are such a sensible girl. I will thank you in advance."
"You're welcome, Auntie, we'll leave first." Su Qingyun smiled.
It's just a little fungus, it's nothing. Anyway, they have already caught the most important prey. Su Qingyun is not worried about the prey being discovered at all. Not to mention these aunts, even the young and middle-aged men in the village will not go up to that position on the mountain. go.
Su Qingyun and Xia Qiu walked to the fork, separated, and went back to inform their families.
"Milk, I'm back!" Su Qingyun shouted impatiently as soon as she stepped into the courtyard gate.
Wu Guixiang came out of the house, "You're back? Is it cold? You said that your kid still has to go up the mountain to pick up mushrooms in such a cold weather. Come in and warm yourself by the fire."
"Let me see, how many have you picked up?" Wu Guixiang glanced at her basket. There was more than half a basket of gallinomycetes. She nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, the harvest is quite a lot. I will make chicken stewed with mushrooms for you when the milk is ready." eat."
Zhang Xinlan in the back room grinded her teeth again when she heard this. After picking up some mushrooms, she would eat chicken stewed with mushrooms. She was so beautiful!
Su Qingyun glanced at the people warming up by the fire in the room and pulled her breast aside.
"What's wrong?" Wu Guixiang looked confused.
Su Qingyun whispered: "Nai, Qiuqiu and I have other gains."
"What's the gain?" Wu Guixiang didn't know why.
Su Qingyun leaned into her ear and said, "Qiuqiu and I found prey on the mountain. There was a big black pig and a goat."
"What!" Wu Guixiang suddenly raised her voice and her eyes widened, "Bao, are you serious, are you trying to trick me?"
"How is this possible?" Su Qingyun said, "It's true, milk. The big black pig and goat are still lying on the mountain. Qiuqiu and I can't get them back."
Wu Guixiang still couldn't believe it, "How could there be such a big guy on this mountain?" I had heard about big bugs, blind people, etc., but after those difficult years, everything to eat was eaten away. Although no one has gone up the mountain in recent years, there aren’t such big guys, right? As soon as they arrived, they were bumped into by Qingyun and the others.
Wait, we bumped into each other?
Wu Guixiang stared at her seriously, "Bao, tell me, even if there were big black pigs and goats, how did you and Qiuqiu kill those two big guys?"
"The big black pig was fighting with the goat. The goat lost and the big black pig was seriously injured. Qiuqiu and I happened to pick up mushrooms nearby and bumped into each other. It was just luck." Su Qingyun recounted one by one.
Wu Guixiang squinted her eyes and looked at her, "Both of them are dead, what a coincidence?"
Su Qingyun touched her nose and her voice became quieter, "The big black pig was injured but not dead. It was leaning against a tree and I wiped its neck from behind."
"What did you say?!" Wu Guixiang looked at her well-behaved and clever Bao in disbelief. Damn it, where did she get the courage to deal with that kind of beast!
What if the big black pig fights back without being seriously injured? What if the black pig was not killed in that moment and caused it to go into a frenzy?
Wu Guixiang was frightened thinking about these possibilities. She couldn't help but patted Su Qingyun a few times, "You kid, you kid, why are you so brave?"
"Okay, okay, baby, isn't this okay? You know me, and I won't do anything I'm not sure about. That black pig really didn't have the ability to move at that time, so I dared to take action." Su Qingyun hurriedly begged for mercy. "Think about it, we have a lot of meat now, enough for the whole family to eat for a long time."
Wu Guixiang glared at her angrily, "Rangrourou, are we missing this piece of meat at home? What if something happens to you?"
"No, what did you use to move your hands?" Wu Guixiang suddenly thought of this question.
Su Qingyun silently took out the sickle from the basket.
Wu Guixiang looked at the sickle that was still stained with blood, and felt that the anger that had just gone down was rising again. Did this girl wipe the black pig's neck with the sickle? Really, really, Wu Guixiang couldn't find anything to say to her for a moment, so she could only hold back her anger and glare at her again. Why did this child always do important things in a muffled voice? It didn't make people worry at all.
She took a deep breath, "Where is the prey now?"
"It's on the mountain. We covered it with thick grass and hid it. We were afraid of attracting other animals or being discovered." She said matter-of-factly.
Wu Guixiang didn't think it was anything. It was discovered by her family, and it naturally belonged to their family, but they were not so generous as to let everyone in the village share the pie.
"Where's that girl Xia Qiu?"
"She also went back and told her family."
Wu Guixiang nodded. The Xia family's character was not bad, and they would not go out to show off even if the meat was divided between the two families.
She thought about it carefully, and she definitely couldn't go up the mountain during the day. There were so many people, and if she was accidentally discovered, she might have eight mouths and couldn't explain clearly.
"Yun, in this case, you go and tell the Xia family that after our family has dinner in the evening, we will go up the mountain when it gets dark. We will divide the meat directly on the mountain and then take it home each without wasting time."
I heard from Yunyun that the pig weighed two to three hundred kilograms, and there was also a sheep. I didn’t say whether I could get it back, but the smell of blood could not be hidden from the nearby families, so I just went to The best choice is to finish the distribution quickly on the mountain.
"Okay, I understand." Su Qingyun went to Su's house again and told Xia Qiu about her milk.
Xia Qiu nodded, "Okay, I understand. My grandma said so too. Let's go up the mountain together then."
"OK."
Su Qingyun went home. During lunch, Wu Guixiang didn't say anything, and Su Qingyun didn't speak when he saw this.
In the afternoon after dinner, the Su family got up from their nap, Su Dalin went out for a walk, Su Qingyun was reading in the room, and several sisters-in-law were pulling cloths, preparing to make some clothes for spring. Some of these cloths were brought by Su Aimin before Those who came back also included those that Su Qingyun brought back from the provincial capital last time. They were all good materials. Li Xiulian and Zhang Xinlan couldn't put them down after touching them.
"This material is really good." Zhang Xinlan touched the fabric and then the clothes on her body. They felt completely different. "They are all slippery to the touch." No previous landlord had ever worn such good material. Bar?
Li Xiulian smiled and said: "Of course, this kind of material is sold at a very high price in department stores. It is only thanks to the blessing of the third family that we can use such good materials to make clothes."
Zhang Xinlan didn't say anything, but she didn't feel that it was thanks to the third child. Is it just a few pieces of cloth? It was as if they owed him something.
She never realized that she had contributed nothing to the family.
Qin Ying was also sewing clothes. She took some white fabric with yellow flowers and wanted to make a plain skirt for Su Qingyun to wear when the weather got hot.
Wu Guixiang saw several women busy at work and called several men in the family aside.
"What's that for?" Zhang Xinlan watched a few people leave the house and go into the courtyard, and looked around curiously.
"Mom, are you talking about it?" Li Xiulian didn't care. She looked at the red cloth in Zhang Xinlan's hand and hesitated, "Xinlan, can I exchange some of this red cloth with you? I want to embroider a flower on it. "
"That can't be done." Zhang Xinlan stopped being curious for a moment, "I don't even have enough for myself. Besides, you are making clothes for eldest brother and Congjun. What flowers do these two grown men do?"
"I made this for Sisi." Li Xiulian smiled.
"Oh!" Zhang Xinlan's eyes widened and her tone was a little sour, "Sister-in-law is really kind to my daughter-in-law."
Li Xiulian glanced at her and said in a neutral tone, "If I don't treat my daughter-in-law well, why should I treat her daughter-in-law? I believe you will do the same, Xinlan, in the future."
Qin Ying couldn't help but curl her lips. She knew clearly that the second sister-in-law was most worried about the marriage of the two brothers Congwen and Congwu. Didn't the elder sister-in-law say this to poke into the heart of the second sister-in-law?
Sure enough, Zhang Xinlan's face turned green after being stabbed by Li Xiulian's soft knife, and she had no time to think about anything else.
In the courtyard, Wu Guixiang looked at her three sons and said in a low voice: "We will have dinner later in the evening, and when it gets dark, let's go up the mountain together."
The three brothers looked at each other and said, "Mom, why are you going up the mountain? You have to go at night."
Wu Guixiang lowered her voice and said, "Of course there is something going on up the mountain."
Su Aimin had no choice but to say, "Mom, please speak louder, others can't hear you."
Wu Guixiang glared at him angrily, "That girl Yun Yun made another big noise with the girl from the Xia family today. The two girls went up the mountain to pick up fungi and caught two prey. They are still hiding in the mountain. Let's Get it back tonight."
"What?" Su Aiguo opened his mouth, "Are the two little girls hunting?"
Su Aidang: "Mom, hunting is not just about rabbits, pheasants, etc. Why do you have to go at night?"
"I said you two are either a stick or a stick." Wu Guixiang glared with hatred, "You have told us to get it, but if it's a rabbit or a pheasant, can they get it back?"
Su Aimin frowned, "Mom, what is it?"
"I told you not to scream."
"good."
Wu Guixiang paused, "It's a big black pig and a goat."
"What!" the three brothers said in unison.
"I told you not to scream!" Wu Guixiang gritted her teeth, "Anyway, this is what happened. We will go up the mountain in the evening, and the Xia family will also go. We will divide the meat directly on the mountain and bring it back to avoid being alarmed. Village people.”
The three brothers haven't reacted yet, their expressions are a little dazed.
"Yunyun and that girl from the Xia family shot a wild boar and a goat?"
Why does this sound so unreal?
Su Aimin's expression changed again and again. His first reaction was that he was worried about his daughter's safety. He turned around and entered the house and asked Su Qingyun what happened.
