Li Shiqiang stayed at home for two days. After finding that the red panda's injury had stabilized, he also considered going into the mountains again.
The family's house is still short of seven or eight hundred yuan, and none of the three major items proposed by the Huang family have been completed.
In addition, Li Shiqiang also remembered that people in the county came to him to buy mountain muntjac whips.
At that time, he was able to leave the county safely with 700 yuan, thanks to Uncle Zhou who worked in the Public Security Bureau.
So after things at home settled down, he found Xu Sheng and prepared to go up the mountain the next day.
"Erwa, why didn't you go find Brother Dong?"
Under the night light, Xu Sheng looked at Li Shiqiang's plan to go up the mountain with a look of surprise on his face.
Li Shiqiang sat on the hillside, smiled, and asked, "Do you think I will go up the mountain with Brother Dong in the future?"
Xu Sheng scratched his head and laughed dryly without saying anything, but the meaning on his face was very obvious.
Li Shiqiang paused and explained: "Brother Dong asked me to go into the mountains. He didn't really want to hunt with me. He just wanted to know how our family suddenly became so rich."
"Ah, so that's why?"
When Xu Sheng heard this, he looked a little surprised, and then asked quickly: "Did you tell Brother Dong?"
"Of course I did! All our family's money comes from the mountains, so it's not a shameful thing. At most, Brother Dong doesn't believe it."
"Whether he believes it or not, we can just get on with it."
After Xu Sheng yelled something angrily, he also sat next to Li Shiqiang and comforted him: "People in the mountains are like this. They don't want to see others well. If Brother Dong calls you in the future, just ignore him."
"OK."
Li Shiqiang nodded, patted his butt and stood up and said, "Then I'll go back first. Remember to come to me early tomorrow morning."
He followed Brother Chen Dong into the mountains the day before yesterday. He didn't really want to hunt with him. More, he wanted to get to know Mr. Chen Sanye and learn some hunting experience from him.
Although Li Shiqiang considered himself a good hunter in his previous life, compared with Mr. Chen Sanye who spent most of his life in the mountains, he was still far behind.
But since Brother Chen Dong didn't really want to take him hunting, then just as Su Sheng said, at most he could just do it himself.
...
After returning from Xu Sheng's house, Li Shiqiang went to his mother Chen Xianglan and gave her a mouthful, asking her to prepare some dry food tomorrow morning.
"Going into the mountains tomorrow? Okay, I understand."
After Chen Xianglan nodded in agreement, she took another handful of bamboo leaves and handed them forward: "Come on, dear, here's more."
The red panda sitting on the ground twisted its honest body and quickly held the bamboo leaves in its arms, while Chen Xianglan also rubbed its fleshy head.
The three and four children on the side each put a hand on the red panda's shoulder and skillfully fed it bamboo.
During the time that this little panda stayed in the Li family, he had become completely familiar with the Li family. As long as he was concentrating on cooking, he would be kneaded by anyone at will, whether it was hugging or rubbing, without the slightest resistance. .
But after the meal was done, it immediately became rude and disobedient, and would not allow others to come near.
Except for one person, that is Li Shiqiang.
I don’t know if it’s because it knows that Li Shiqiang saved it, or because Li Shiqiang feeds it a bowl of sweet malted milk every night.
The red panda is always very attached to Li Shiqiang.
During the day, she would be very clingy and play with his hands and feet, not letting him go.
When he goes to bed at night, he will even climb into bed and lie on Li Shiqiang's chest.
Li Shiqiang was awakened from his sleep by it several times and almost couldn't breathe.
However, on the contrary, Li Shiqiang has a particularly indifferent attitude towards red pandas and often avoids them.
Because Li Shiqiang also read some knowledge about animals in his previous life, if animals and people come into contact for a long time, they will lower their vigilance towards people and gradually develop dependence.
The red panda is currently just recovering from its injuries at their home. After its injuries recover, Li Shiqiang will send it back to the mountains.
After all, the mountains are where these animals truly belong.
Therefore, he did not hope that after this period of recuperation, the red panda would lose its vigilance when encountering people in the mountains.
Although there have been repeated publicity orders prohibiting the hunting of pandas, pandas have not yet been designated as national treasures these days, so it is inevitable that some people will still take risks.
The only difficult thing is that Li Shiqiang can't stop his family from liking red pandas.
There are so many people in the family, except him, who like this guy very much. They often cut some bamboo for it and feed it, and take this opportunity to get close to it.
Li Shiqiang can stop the third, fourth, and youngest, but he can't stop his eldest sister, mother, and old man.
Fortunately, he is not alone.
Xiao Hua and the three little ones at home also seem to be jealous of the red panda who likes to cling to him, and they often yell impatiently at the red panda.
If the three little ones weren't still very young, they might have started fighting.
However, after the red panda finished its meal, Li Shiqiang made two bowls of malted milk for it and the three little ones as usual.
"Baa baa..."
After the satiated red panda licked the malted milk in the bowl, it also made a "baaaa" sound similar to a sheep's cry, and then climbed into bed skillfully.
"You ghost guy, I really can't get rid of you."
After Li Shiqiang pushed it out of bed several times, the little panda still got on the bed, lay on top of him, and made a "purring" sound.
Li Shiqiang couldn't help but rubbed its round head and sighed: "Go to sleep."
He has figured out the various sounds of pandas during this period.
After eating a full meal, you will make a "bleating" sound similar to the braying of a sheep. When you sleep, you will make a "wuwu" purring sound. When you are happy, you will make a "gurgling" sound similar to a child's laughter. In the past few days, your health has been... When in pain, they like to make a "beep" sound like crying.
After thinking wildly for a while, Li Shiqiang also closed his eyes and prepared to rest.
But just a moment after he closed his eyes, he suddenly heard a miserable cry coming from the quiet mountain village: "Someone, come quickly! Someone, come quickly!"
Li Shiqiang's heart trembled, and he quickly sat up from the bed and put on his coat.
After he walked out of the door, the old man Li Nongchang, his mother Chen Xianglan, his eldest sister and his eldest brother-in-law also came out of the house.
"What happened?"
Listening to Chen Xianglan's slightly worried and doubtful expression, Li Nongchang looked at Li Shiqiang and his eldest brother-in-law and said, "Let's go out and take a look."
The shouting outside didn't stop just now, it just kept going.
When the three of them walked out of the house, they also found many people attracted by the sound on the mountain path.
Everyone followed the sound and soon arrived in front of a house in the mountains.
"Er Aunt Zhao, why did you call us here in the middle of the night?"
The middle-aged woman known as Second Aunt Zhao was standing in the yard with a frightened look. After hearing the inquiries outside, she quickly pointed to the house and said something that made everyone change their minds.
