MTL - The Sweet Little Fulang-Chapter 51

In the early morning, the mountains were misty, and a wisp of cooking smoke wafted from the high-walled courtyard in the deep mountain forest. Lu Gu sat silently in front of the stove and boiled water, looking a little tired.

The puppy came in from outside and rubbed his head against his calf. He touched the fluffy head of the puppy, and pinched the soft little ears. There was a smile on his face, and he whispered, "Have you finished eating? Wait? Dahui, they come back, and if you drive another rabbit, you'll have meat to eat."

The big dog wasn't around last night, and the puppy didn't want to sleep alone in the main room. He barked at the door of his room and scratched at the door with his paws. He had no choice but to open the door and bring in the sack, and let the puppy sleep under the bed.

Besides, Lu Gu couldn’t sleep alone. The mountains and forests were too quiet at night, and sometimes he could hear the screeching of unknown night birds outside. Fortunately, the closed doors and windows were strong, and the windows were solid wooden windows, which were usually ventilated. The one that is supported outwards is much stronger than the paper-laminated lattice.

There was no tall man beside him when he slept at night. It seemed that something was missing. It was inevitable that he would be worried and fearful. Lu Gu woke up from a dream, but when he woke up, he couldn't remember what dream he had. Sleep well.

The light of the fire reflected on his face, driving away the coldness of the early morning. After the steamed buns were hot, Lu Gu sat on the small stool in front of the stove to eat and drink. There are still a lot of cress, and he grabs a few and eats it.

He was sitting and eating. Although the puppy had eaten it, he stood up, his two fat front paws resting on his lap, wanting to smell the cress in his hand.

"So greedy." Lu Gu said, pinched a small piece of sour cress for the dog to smell, and sure enough, the dog turned his head after a few sniffs, not wanting to eat it, and Lu Gu threw it into the stove. Bottom, got the pup's paws off his legs with his elbows.

Shen Xuanqing didn't know if he would come back today, Lu Gu thought so, he didn't delay after eating, and went to work as usual.

Every day, he waits for the sun to come out to dry things, otherwise the fog and dew will be heavy when he wakes up early, and the dried goji berries are taken out too early and will regain their moisture.

Shen Xuanqing said that the dwarf deer also liked to eat mushrooms, but these mushrooms were picked up by Lu Gu from a lot of places, and they were good things for people. How could they be willing to eat them for the dwarf deer, and they had to be dried and kept for winter soup and cooking. Woolen cloth.

The thick trunk of the top door was heavy, so he moved to the left door with all his strength, took the sickle and went out to mow the grass, and brought a large bundle back to feed the dwarf deer and pheasants.

He patted the grass clippings and dirt on his body, and Lu Gu released the chickens and ducks with the puppy. The puppy ran back and forth, barking at the chickens and ducks from time to time, learning from Lu Gu to chase the chickens and ducks, and keeping the chicks in a room big enough. Looking for food in the fence, Lu Gu led the ducks to the pond.

The pond is quite big, and every day it is released, the ducks are prevented from swimming into the river. Even the pups have learned to stand by the narrow ditch that leads to the pond, barking loudly and threatening the ducks to swim back.

The ditch is relatively narrow, and as soon as the ducks swim here, they can meet the dog standing next to them.

Today, as soon as the ducks entered the water, the puppies ran to the ditch and sat squatting, with a sturdy back that looked very reliable.

Lu Gu saw that it was so smart, and a dog would take care of the ducks without the big ash. He really liked it, so he walked over and touched the puppies who were wagging their tails. Then watch here, and I'll go back and get the water from the bucket."

When the good boy saw him gone, he subconsciously wanted to follow him, but he turned to see that the duck was still in the pond, and was standing beside him.

Lu Gu ran back and forth five times, went to a clean place upstream to fetch water, filled up the water tank, and when he moved, he became hot, not so cold. Net, I often watch Shen Xuanqing go off the net, and sometimes he will try it, as long as he is diligent, he will learn everything by doing it.

The dense net he set down stopped some fish and shrimp. Fortunately, he came to see it at this moment. There was a big fish fluttering inside. Seeing that the fishing net was about to be torn apart, he quickly put it up and squatted by the river to pick it out. Not far from the pond, the puppy also ran over.

He didn't want the fish and shrimp that were too small, and threw them into the river again, got the big fish out of the net, and left the water. Too close for a puppy.

"Wang Wang!"

The puppy is so easy to provoke, he immediately screamed at the fish, and tried to hold the big fish with his paws to bite, but the big fish was not exhausted at the moment, and the thumping was so strong that it failed for a while. .

With a smile on his face, Lu Gu also tried to catch the big fish. The fish was so powerful that he could feel the force of the fish's tail hitting the ground when he stretched his hand out. It's not too light to be patted, so let's take the five smaller fish first. I poured it into the fish basket with the river prawns, looked at the fishing net again, and had to make up for it later.

Turning his head to look at the ducks, fortunately, they didn't swim into the river, but Lu Gu still walked over, picked up the long bamboo pole that had been placed on the edge of the pond, hit the water surface, and drove them into the pond.

The big fish lost the strength to toss, and Lu Gu rushed to put the fish into the fish basket before the dog bites, otherwise people would not be able to eat it.

Shen Xuanqing was not here, so he could not finish the big fish by himself. Besides, there were also small fish and river prawns. When Shen Xuanqing came back and stewed the prawns in miscellaneous fish soup, he would eat very well. This big fish might as well be killed. Hang it up and dry it into dried fish and save it for winter.

In this case, Lu Gu went back to get the knives and scissors. The puppy was smart. Seeing that no one took care of the ducks after he left, he went back to squatting by the ditch and looked back at the fish basket, as if he was afraid that someone would steal it.

Lu Gu is very skilled at killing fish. He scrapes the scales of big fish and small fish, and throws out the internal organs into the pond for the ducks to eat.

Remembering that he hadn't dug a loach recently, the sun was shining and it wasn't cold on his body, so he took off his shoes and socks and went to the river to dig up the mud to find the loach. Come back, I will be back tomorrow, just enough to eat.

The fish soup is stewed with miscellaneous fish, and there will be a little more loach in stewing, so cut the loach into long pieces and fry it, add some dried peppers and peppercorns, add a little more oil and fry it to become spicy.

There is a lot of work to do. Lu Gu is digging mud and thinking that it is time to pick wolfberries tomorrow. Once he is busy, he forgets the loneliness of being alone. There are dogs barking from time to time and ducks quacking. It’s still lively. .

In the middle of the afternoon, he drove the ducks out of the pond, locked them in the fence with the chickens and let them graze, and cut the grass and carried it to the backyard for the dwarf deer to eat. Grass fruit feeding.

The pair of wild rabbits that Shen Xuanqing had caught alive before were still alive. They were brought home when they went down the mountain in autumn, but they didn't bring them because the mother was pregnant with the cubs. They let Shen Yan keep them, and then went back to the next litter and raised the cubs. to sell.

The sun moved a little to the west. Before evening came, Lu Gu drove the chickens and ducks back to the backyard. Before cooking, he looked east at the door for a while. Although his eyes were disappointed, he went back to cook and work.

He finished his meal alone, and also ate it for the dog. It was still light, so he took a needle and thread and sat in the yard to embroider sachets.

When the sun was setting, he thought that Shen Xuanqing would not come back, and he wanted to go to the top of the courtyard gate after embroidering the flower, but before the flower was embroidered, he heard a dog barking in the distance, and the puppy also When he shouted, Lu Gu couldn't care about anything, put down what he was holding and ran out in a hurry.

Shen Xuanqing came back with two red fox skins on the long fork on his shoulders.

There are quite a lot of utensils used in hunting, such as bows and arrows, slingshots, spears and forks, hatchets and machetes can also be used. This time he went out to spend the night in the deep mountains. Several knives of different sizes were brought along.

He also carried bows and arrows, but they were useless, because feathered arrows would damage the fur. Most hunters use long slingshots to hit clay projectiles when shooting foxes. It is best to be stunned. Hands are quick to respond.

Skinning is a **** job, and it is not easy for Lu Gu to see it, so as soon as the fox caught, Shen Xuanqing stripped the fox skin and returned with only the fur.

"You're back." Lu Gu ran forward and was so excited that he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Well, I'm back." Shen Xuanqing said with a smile, seeing that Lu Gu was in a hurry to help him carry the bamboo basket, he handed over the long fork. of.

Lu Gu walked beside him while watching, and whispered, "This is fox fur."

Shen Xuanqing was very happy when she heard her husband's voice, and said, "Yes, that's it. If there are too many fights this year, I'll leave you a few fox fur quilts to keep them warm in winter nights."

Fighting foxes is not an easy task, otherwise the fox skins would not be expensive. Shen Xuanqing wanted to leave some furs for Lu Gu.

And his mother doesn't wear fox fur yet, so it's not good to be so obviously partial to Lu Gu. If it is made into a fox fur quilt, it will not be as conspicuous as fox fur.

In addition, if you make a fox skin quilt, the condition of the fox skin is not good. You can beat a few stupid foxes and make fox skin quilts for his mother. Older people don't have the same winter as when they were young. .

Lu Gu wanted to say that he didn't need it. A cotton quilt would make it very warm, and it was more important to sell the money, but he didn't know how to refuse. Shen Xuanqing was so happy, he didn't dare to go against the good intentions of others, so he nodded in agreement. I was thinking about what to say when the time came.

Back in the yard, Lu Gu was about to cook. He put down his long fork and said, "Today, there are fish and shrimp in the net. It takes time to stew the fish. I'll give you fried river shrimp and rice wine."

"Okay, you can do anything." Shen Xuanqing took off the bamboo basket, and Jun's face was full of smiles.

Lu Gu was cooking in the kitchen, and when he heard Shen Xuanqing's movement outside, he felt more at ease. The movement of the big dogs and puppies playing and slapsticking made the courtyard lively, making him feel at ease and no longer afraid.

After a hot meal, his husband was sitting next to him, and Shen Xuanqing was no longer so satisfied.

Because he spent the night outside, his body was unavoidably dirty, and after running in the mountains for two days, sweating was inevitable. After taking a break after eating, he said he wanted to take a bath, and Lu Gu went to the kitchen and boiled a large pot of water for him. Shen Xuanqing moved the tub into the kitchen and added a big firewood to the bottom of the pot to warm it up later.

It was already dark, and there was a lot of burning water. Lu Gu also took a bath. He washed first. Now it was Shen Xuanqing's turn. He entered the room and made the bed in the dark. Do.

After Shen Xuanqing used the firelight to dry his hair in front of the stove, he also fell into bed in the dark after entering the room.

Lu Gu hadn't slept yet, and only when he lay down next to him did he really feel at ease. Shen Xuanqing came to hug him without saying a word, and closed his eyes before going to sleep. Who knew that Shen Xuanqing could not sleep, and gradually became restless.
