After returning from his grandparents' house, Li Shiqiang took his brothers-in-law Tong Shunqiang and Xu Sheng into the mountains for two days to pull out some Eucommia bark.
Every day is like Gouwazi’s “blessing” and is full of rewards.
In addition to a lot of herbs, I also killed a lot of wild animals and saved several animal skins.
And today finally came the day to go to Nanyang County.
As soon as he got up early in the morning, Li Shiqiang began to count the things he would take to sell this time.
Two fragrant deer skins, one mountain muntjac skin, one yellow tiger skin, two musk deer buns, and two clams.
Because some of the herbs at home had not been dried yet, and there were too many Eucommia ulmoides, he could only sell the most valuable animal skins and some precious medicinal materials first.
Li Shiqiang's backpack and bamboo basket also contained a lot of dry food.
After this trip to Nanyang, he had to follow the old man and his third uncle to pick up a private job.
"Er baby, everything has been installed for you, please don't throw it away."
Li Shiqiang nodded to his mother, Chen Xianglan, and said, "Mom, help me keep an eye on those three pups. Don't let the youngest get killed."
"I know, I know you are very precious."
In the past few days, Li Shiqiang had taken great care of the three little guys, fearing that they would be hungry or cold.
When he was ready to leave after breakfast, Li Shiqiang looked at his feet again and said, "Xiaohua, don't follow me this time. Help me take care of my home and take care of those little ones."
Xiaohua didn't react at all, and still followed him closely.
Li Nongchang on the side saw this and said simply: "Just find a rope and tie it under the tree."
"Woof woof woof!!"
Xiaohua, who originally looked dull, suddenly turned her head, opened her mouth and screamed at Li Nongchang with a fierce look on her face.
"You wolf-hearted thing, you eat my food and drink my food, and you still dare to scream at me!?"
Li Nongchang stared with dissatisfaction.
Can't you tell who is the head of the family in this family?
"Woof woof woof!!"
Xiaohua still screamed fiercely and did not bite anyone. It looked like she was simply scolding something.
"Okay, okay, what's the point of arguing with a dog? If he wants to follow, just let him follow."
Chen Xianglan waved her hand dissatisfied, signaling the father and son to go out quickly.
When Li Shiqiang saw this, he had no choice but to shout: "Xiaohua, let's go."
As soon as the words came out, Xiaohua immediately stopped cursing and followed him quietly.
When Li Nongchang saw this, he muttered dissatisfiedly: "I'm not obedient at all when I should be obedient. I know immediately when I'm not obedient. I don't know how a dog can be so 'smart'!"
After going down the mountain, the father and son went to the river beach at the foot of Qingxia Mountain again, and the mother also kept standing on the mountain road and looking down.
"Uncle Huang!"
On the edge of the river beach, the village party secretary Huang Qingyun was still responsible for seeing off the guests as usual.
When he saw the Li father and son, he immediately shouted in surprise: "Yeah! Our village's tiger-fighting hero is here?"
Yellow tigers are considered half tigers, even though they are not really tigers.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be called a yellow tiger.
"Ha ha..."
Li Shiqiang laughed twice, shook his head humbly and said: "It doesn't count! It doesn't count!"
"It's nothing!"
Huang Qingyun looked excited and continued to the father and son very happily: "I didn't say the name of the tiger-fighting hero. It was someone else who said it when I went to the commune for a meeting yesterday."
"Does everyone in the commune know that my second son beat a yellow tiger?" Li Nongchang asked with a surprised look on his face and a slightly proud look on his face.
Huang Qingyun nodded and continued with a smile: "There are a lot of rumors in the commune. Some people say that Erwa shot Huang Huhu fifty or sixty times in the mountains. Some people say that Erwa took advantage of the opportunity. The yellow tiger was caught in a clamp before being killed..."
Hearing these rumors, Li Nongchang immediately glared dissatisfied: "Bullshit! Those people are talking nonsense. Erwa obviously chased Huang Huhu into the mountains alone and killed him, and he only fired eight shots."
Although many people did not see with their own eyes how Li Shiqiang killed Huang Huhu that night, they could hear the gunshots clearly, there were only eight gunshots in total.
"I have told some people, but they don't believe it! A young man not only chased the yellow tiger, but also shot him eight times before killing him." Huang Qingyun spread his hands and replied helplessly.
Li Nongchang sighed and wanted to continue to say something, but Li Shiqiang suddenly reminded him from the side: "Old man, it's time to start lining up!"
Li Nongchang turned around and glanced at him with some dissatisfaction: "Aren't you in a hurry? Everyone else is talking nonsense about you beating the yellow tiger."
As the father of a "tiger fighting hero", he always cares about what others think.
"Haha, forget it, old man! Whatever they say. A yellow tiger is nothing. When I hit something more powerful next time, they will know what is real and what is fake."
Li Nongchang was still a little dissatisfied after listening to the first half of his second son's words. After hearing the last words, he finally smiled and nodded: "That's right! When they hit something more powerful, they will know whether it is true or false. .”
When Huang Qingyun who was standing next to him heard Li Nongchang's words, he immediately glared at him with some dissatisfaction and said: "Are you as old as you? It's enough to beat a yellow tiger. Why do you have to compete with others?"
No matter what, the way he looked at Li Shiqiang was a little different now.
When the news that the Li family was planning to build five blue-tiled houses reached the Huang family, almost everyone in the Huang family showed expressions of disbelief.
Coupled with the title of "Tiger Fighting Hero", it was enough to make Huang Qingyun look at him differently.
It's a pity that Huang Yun's mother still insists on the conditions she made.
Li Nongchang shook his head and felt that what he said was somewhat wrong.
As a father, the safety of his son should indeed be the most important thing.
"Forget it, let's stop talking and get ready to go."
Li Nongchang took Li Shiqiang to the river beach. After checking the bundled bamboo rafts, they held the opening ceremony as usual.
After all preparations were completed, the green bamboo dragon lying on the edge of the river finally began to move along the river.
Li Shiqiang turned his head and took a look and found that the flowers on the shore were also chasing along the river beach.
Fortunately, because there were a lot of bamboo rafts, in order to avoid accidents, we kept moving at a high speed, and sometimes the bamboo rafts would stop for inspection in front of some dangerous river mouths.
In this way, Li Shiqiang felt relieved and let Xiaohua follow him by the river beach.
Near noon, long bamboo rafts once again docked at Baisha Pier in Nanyang County.
finally reached.
