Before dawn, Li Shiqiang lay on the bed and opened his eyes.
He didn't wake up from sleep, but was awakened by other people's voices.
He sat up and put on his clothes. The little flower on the ground opened his eyes instantly and stood up.
When they arrived at the main room, they saw Xu Sheng talking to Chen Xianglan with excitement on his face.
As soon as he saw Li Shiqiang, Xu Sheng complained quickly: "You told me to come to your house early last night, but you were sleeping again when I came."
Li Shiqiang rubbed his face with his hands and ignored him.
When the two of them were halfway through breakfast, Li Nongchang also came out of the back room wearing clothes.
He looked at the two people at the dinner table and the gun hanging on the wall, and asked nonchalantly: "Are you going into the mountains again?"
"Yes, Uncle Li!"
Xu Sheng took the time to look up from the bowl.
Li Nongchang nodded and said nothing.
After the two of them finished breakfast, Chen Xianglan also packed the prepared food.
She handed it to Li Shiqiang and said, "You and I didn't eat the meatloaf you bought yesterday, we just put it in it. Next time you go into the mountains, tell me early, and I'll make you some steamed buns and steamed buns to eat on the road." "
"I want it."
Li Shiqiang took the backpack, picked up the bamboo basket, and prepared to go out with Xu Sheng.
But behind him, a dull voice suddenly came: "It's just the two of you this time, so be careful in the mountain."
Li Shiqiang smiled, turned around and said, "I know, old man."
...
After leaving the house, Xu Sheng suddenly turned around and said, "Er baby, is this the hunting dog you are looking for?"
Listening to what Xu Sheng said, Li Shiqiang remembered Xiaohua who had been following him.
He looked down, a little at a loss.
In the past two days since he came back from the county seat, Xiaohua has stayed close to him, following him wherever he went.
It would be fine if he was in the village, but what he wanted to go to now was the deep mountains and old forests full of wild beasts.
And Xiaohua is just a relatively humane native dog, not a hunting dog.
"Xiaohua, go home!"
Xiaohua sat on the ground and looked around without moving.
But as soon as Li Shiqiang moved, it quickly followed.
Seeing this, Li Shiqiang squatted down helplessly, rubbed the dog's head and said, "Xiaohua, go home. I'll be back in the evening."
Xiaohua didn't say anything, just looked at him with her head tilted.
"well!"
Li Shiqiang sighed softly and said helplessly: "Then when we enter the mountain, you will always be with me."
"Let's go, Shengwa."
Xu Sheng looked at it curiously and asked, "Wouldn't it be nice to have a dog following me? Why not let him follow me?"
"It's not a hunting dog, it's just a local dog. If it gets lost in the mountains, do you think it can survive?"
Xu Sheng withdrew his gaze and concentrated on his way.
Just like last time, when the two arrived at the foot of Laowu Mountain, the sun had just risen.
As usual, the two of them bowed to the top of the mountain with their hands clasped together, and then walked towards the mountain.
After entering the mountain, Li Shiqiang stared closely at the little flower next to him, fearing that it would suddenly escape or do something else.
When hunters take dogs into the mountains, they all cheer in a large group, which can not only increase the momentum but also play some role.
A dog alone can hardly help.
He didn't expect Xiaohua to be of any help, he just wanted to stay by his side.
After all, the mountains are full of traps, and it would be terrible if they accidentally step on them.
"Er baby! I remember that when others go into the mountains, they have to put clips. Let's put some too. It will save trouble." Xu Sheng said quietly while looking around with a gun.
After hearing this, Li Shiqiang shook his head and said: "Think about it, if someone pinches something, does the other person have to struggle desperately? With this struggle, the fur will be damaged. If it is pinched and the blood cannot be drained in time, the meat will not be good either. have eaten.
And I don’t go into the mountains just to hunt. "
Xu Sheng turned around and asked curiously: "What is that?"
"Didn't I tell you last night that I would take you into the mountains to pick up the baby? The baby is under your feet now, pick it up." Li Shiqiang said, pouting at where Xu Sheng was standing.
"baby?"
Xu Sheng looked shocked and quickly glanced at the ground.
"You're playing tricks on me again! Erba!"
There was nothing but grass under his feet, and there was a fart baby.
"I don't even want to give you my baby!"
Li Shiqiang hummed softly, walked to Xu Sheng, knelt down, dug out a Sophora flavescens plant from his ground and said, "This is the treasure I picked up from the mountain."
"this?"
Xu Sheng looked surprised, and suddenly thought of something and said, "Is this a herbal medicine? Erwa?"
Li Shiqiang nodded and said: "The treasures are all in the mountains, you just let them pick them up."
"Hahaha..."
Xu Sheng smiled, narrowed his eyes and said, "You are still such a naughty kid!"
Li Shiqiang shook his head, threw the Sophora flavescens into the bamboo basket behind Xu Sheng and said, "Put it away, and I will take you to sell the treasure with me next time."
"don't want!"
Xu Sheng shouted and quickly threw the Sophora flavescens into Li Shiqiang's bamboo basket.
"You should pick up these treasures yourself, I won't pick them up!"
"Are you sure? One tael of this Sophora flavescens can be sold for one yuan."
Xu Sheng nodded again and said: "I can't recognize these treasures, why should I pick them up? If you can pick them up, pick them up yourself."
Hunting is a joint effort by everyone, and it is appropriate to share some money.
But Xu Sheng didn't know any of these herbs, and neither of them knew how to deal with them.
He was contented to be able to hunt with Li Shiqiang.
Li Shiqiang nodded and did not force it.
"Okay. Then look around and tell me if there is something. I'll dig a little first."
He did a rough calculation last night. Taking into account the conditions given by the Huang family and the five blue-tiled houses he planned to build, the total cost was almost three thousand yuan.
Although he appeared relaxed in front of Huang Yun, in fact it was still a bit difficult to get the three thousand yuan.
After all, it's not that easy to meet Obei again for 180 yuan when he sold it for 180 yuan last time.
Among the herbs sold last time, apart from Hubei, the most expensive one was Gastrodia elata.
If you handle it well, one tael is six yuan.
If you dig more gastrodia elata and add some beaten skins, you should be able to earn fifty yuan a day, which is one thousand and fifty yuan a month.
If you go to the mountains every day, you can collect 3,000 yuan in two months.
But this can only be thought about.
No one can tolerate going into the mountains every day.
It would be great if I could meet Ebei or Ganoderma again.
well!
"Second baby!"
Just as Li Shiqiang finished sighing, he heard Xu Sheng beside him suddenly shout in a suppressed voice.
As soon as he stood up, he saw Xu Sheng staring in one direction, his feet swaying uncontrollably.
Following Xu Sheng's line of sight, he saw several gloomy wolf shadows appearing on the hillside at some point.
"One, two, three, four, five..."
A total of five wolves were making low calls and staring at them closely.
"Er baby, what...what should I do?"
Li Shiqiang directly raised the shotgun in his hand and said calmly: "Don't panic! Wait until I shoot, then you shoot again!"
