Waste Wood Farming Notes

For several days in a row, she ate half of what other people ate. Even if Liao Sanyue wanted to do something, she was exhausted. After she was full every day, she would go to the room to save her energy.

The field at home is naturally visited by people every day. The sweet potatoes in the field can almost be dug back. Some people in the village have their sweet potatoes stolen, but it is only a small number. After checking later, they found that it was their own. things people do.

They walk around every day to prevent the sweet potatoes at home from being stolen without knowing it.

Today it was Li Youcai's turn to go out to see the land. He hurried back after he had been out for a long time, "Mom! Something happened to my mother!!"

"What's the matter, dad?" Li Tianfu was bored, so he picked beans with his milk to pass the time. When he saw his dad panicked, he asked with concern, could it be that their sweet potatoes were stolen? ?

Li Youcai took a breather, and then said: "Mother, the wild boars from the mountain have come down, and they have stolen a lot of our sweet potatoes."

"Is it only our family's that was stolen, or everyone's is the same?" Li Liushi asked.

"I only saw that a lot of our family's food was eaten and came back to tell you. I didn't pay attention to other people's food." Li Youcai said embarrassingly.

"Aren't there traps at the foot of the mountain? Are there any wild boars that fell into the traps?" Li Tianfu asked with concern. If they could catch a wild boar, they would have meat to eat.

Li Youcai shook his head. If the wild boar had been caught in the trap, the villagers would have been bustling long ago, and it wouldn't be as quiet as it is now.

"Let's go! Let's go and have a look together." Li Liushi put down the things in his hands, called the other big men in the family, and walked towards the place where their sweet potatoes were planted with a pole.

When I came to their field, I found that there were indeed many wild boar footprints on the ground. A lot of their sweet potatoes had been dug out, and a lot of sweet potatoes that were half eaten were thrown on the field.

In addition to their family's land being patronized by wild boars, there are also many sweet potatoes spoiled by wild boars in other people's lands. This is not the most serious problem for them. It seems that the wild boars came down at night to find food. Li Liu asked Li Youcai to notify Other people from those lands came over and dug up two sweet potatoes, holding them in their hands, they felt heavy.

"Somewhere, the three of you go back and bring your things, and call your daughter-in-law. The sweet potatoes are ready to be dug. If you keep them in the field, they won't grow much, and they will be ruined by wild boars on the mountain." Li Liu Shi commanded, the wild boar ran down avoiding the trap at the foot of the mountain, and the others chose to collect sweet potatoes from the field. Their family had a lot of sweet potatoes, so they had to move faster.

Otherwise, next time, the most serious damage from wild boars will be their sweet potatoes.

These are all precious food, and the loss of one Li and Liu feels distressed.

When they came back, they not only brought a lot of tools, but also all the labor force of the family, leaving only one person at home to take care of the child. He Anle heard the movement and followed.

A straw hat was placed on Li Tianfu's head. Li Tianfu raised the brim of his hat and looked at the person who came, "Brother He, you also come to help!"

"Let me take a look, it seems that there are a lot of wild boars on the mountain!" He Anle looked at those traces and said, "Grandma, don't dig that piece of land for now."

"How about exchanging a field of sweet potatoes for a wild boar?" He Anle said with a smile.

I'm sure they will agree.

"Did you catch that wild boar?" Li Liushi asked.

A field of sweet potatoes is exchanged for a wild boar. This kind of sale is a steady profit. She can't wait to get a few more. If a wild boar belongs to their family, it can be eaten for a long time!

He Anle: "60.00% sure."

"Okay, don't touch that piece of land for the time being, Arita, you go and help dig the trap." Li Liushi said.

Of course, he was the one to suffer for what his wife had done. Digging traps was much more tiring than digging sweet potatoes.

Li Youtian, who knew he was wrong, didn't dare to refute, he did whatever his mother said.

He Anle narrowed his eyes, it seemed that something happened to Fu Geer's house.

Li Tianfu leaned close to his ear and whispered: "If you make grandma angry, you can order him vigorously, just let him do the heavy work, don't tire yourself."

Liao Sanyue also came to help with the work, and from the looks of the others, she worked feebly, as if she was being lazy.

"Aunt Li, you guys started harvesting sweet potatoes so soon?"

The people near them also came, and seeing that their family had already started working, they said something, and hurriedly answered and called for someone to bring something to dig sweet potatoes by the way. The wild boars on the mountain spoiled a lot of things, and the sweet potatoes were dug at the end. Go, the wild boar will visit again.

Not long after, everyone was already dispatched, digging sweet potatoes in full swing, looking at the big sweet potatoes, everyone was in a good mood.

"Aunt Li, what are you Tian doing?"

Asked the man who saw them digging a hole and sitting on the side to rest.

Li Liushi: "Isn't there a wild boar running down from the mountain? Let's dig a trap next to our house to see if we can catch the wild boar. Our family hasn't eaten meat for a long time, and we can't buy any meat in the town."

"Yeah, at this time, people can't get enough to eat, so how can they have the energy to raise pigs!"

"We also have wild boars coming out to dig sweet potatoes to eat. Do you think I should also dig a trap? If I can catch them, I will make a lot of money."

Those who dug traps and caught wild boars by themselves naturally belonged to them. A wild boar weighed one or two hundred catties of meat. If they kept it for their own food, it would taste delicious!

The people on the other side laughed and said: "Come on, don't you look at how many people there are in your family? Aunt Li's family has a lot of people! Separate a few people to dig traps, and it won't delay the work."

"Aunt Li's family has a lot of people, that's good!"

Li Liushi listened on the side, and sighed: "It's good, but the food they eat every day is a big problem, and we have to give them food, but if we really let go of our stomachs, this food is not enough. .”

The other two were just joking. Thinking of so many people, the daily food consumption is several times that of their family. She is not willing to bear such a heavy burden!

They worked for a while, the sun was getting bigger and bigger, and they were sweating after working in the field for a while, but they had a lot of people and a lot of land, and they had already collected a small part of sweet potatoes in the field, especially near the foot of the mountain The ones here have already charged more than half, but there are many other places in their house. They only charge one-fifth of the work they do in a morning.

"You are talented, Xiaomei, Brother Fu and I will go back to cook first, and we will have a good meal at noon, and you will go back after half an hour." Li Liushi wiped the sweat off his face and said to the people next to him Just say hello and go back.

Others are also busy in the fields, and they may have to live on these sweet potatoes for the rest of their lives. They wish they could grow their own hands and dig all the sweet potatoes back in an instant, so as not to be spoiled by wild boars.

They also asked people to go back to cook, but theirs was brought over by people. The Li family had a lot of people, so they had to go home to eat together.

Thinking of the hard work today, Li Liushi will wash rice and cook taro rice as soon as he gets home. All he does is hard work. If you don’t eat something delicious, you can’t do it. If you want the horse to run, you have to feed the horse. Li Liu still understood.

The other big pot is also cooking mung bean soup. When I go to work in the afternoon, I take it with me, and I can drink water when I am thirsty. Another reason is to prevent heat stroke, which will be a waste of money when the time comes.

After thinking about it, Li Liushi cut a piece of bacon, trying to let everyone eat two bites. The dish for lunch was dried vegetables and a plate of appetizing sauerkraut. Everyone likes to eat this sour and crunchy sauerkraut. For sauerkraut, Li Liushi only cut enough sauerkraut for one person with a tablespoon of sauerkraut.

Dried vegetables can be eaten casually, as a dish of their family, cooked with meat, the taste is still good.

There were not many vegetables left in the vegetable garden, so Li Liushi went to cut a handful of leeks and came back, and fried a leek egg, in order to work harder in the afternoon.

Their family has a lot of fields, and Li Liushi counted and collected them all. They want three days, and they need to feed them enough in these three days.

Li Tianfu helped to light the fire, especially on the mung bean side. The firewood was stuffed into the stove without money, and the mung beans were boiled in half an hour, then filled, and put in the wooden basin to dry in cold water. It was hung into the well, but at this time, the water level of the well had dropped by half, and the temperature inside was not as cool as before.

The cooked and stir-fried food should be hung up to dry. When they come back, it is best to eat cold food. On a hot day, they don't want to sweat all over the meal.

It took less than half an hour, the lunch was ready, the dishes were kept warm in the pot, the taro rice and sweet potatoes had been packed, and they could eat after washing their hands when they came back.

When everyone came back and found that He Anle was not there, Li Tianfu said, "Brother He hasn't come back yet?"

"He went home for dinner, Brother Fu, he asked you to come over." Li Youtian replied.

This time Liao Sanyue was able to eat enough, but most of her rice bowl was filled with taro, and there was only a little bit of rice, and there was no bacon for her. Seeing her look over, Li Liushi said indifferently: "Recently It’s a special situation, so you’ll have enough to eat temporarily, and when you’re done with your work, you’ll still eat half of what we eat!”

Liao Sanyue was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back. Hearing this, she didn't dare to refute anything, for fear that her mother would not even give her a full meal, and the feeling of being hungry would be uncomfortable.

Li Tianfu put his share of bacon into his grandma's bowl, and said with a smile, "Grandma, I'm going to visit Big Brother He's house."

Looking at the extra bacon in her bowl, Li Liushi smiled, and ate them anyway, and didn't say anything about Fu Geer's behavior of going to He's house to eat.

Abducted her good grandson, and he should be poor.

Li Liu's Zhao Xiaomei knew about this, but the others didn't. Li Youcai hesitated and said, "Mother, is it not good for Brother Fu to run out of He's boy's place every day to eat..."

"What's not so good about him? Isn't it because you, a father, don't live up to expectations, so that our brother Fu can't eat meat. Does he need to go to other people's houses to eat?!" Li Liu immediately turned back, "One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. If you have the ability to find a place to eat and drink, I will not stop you."

Li Youcai ate in silence, not daring to speak anymore, why did he forget?His mother is irrational when facing Shang Fu Geer.

I think when they were young, they ran to other people’s house to keep food, and squatted pitifully outside other people’s house, expecting the other party to see them pitiful, and gave them a piece of meat to eat. After their mother found out, they were severely punished. beat me up.

Impress them so much that they won't dare to do this kind of thing again.

Regardless of what happened to him, Li Tianfu took his own bowl and walked towards Brother He's house. Dahei was gnawing on his big bones in the yard. When Li Tianfu walked in, his aunt and He Anle had already started eating. Fu Geer hurriedly greeted, "Fu Geer is coming to eat soon."

The food of the He family is much better than theirs. The sauerkraut on the table was brought over by him before, and there is still a lot left. Li Tianfu sat down politely. He also prefers taro rice. Half of the taro, I had a meal with them, and I felt refreshed.

"Brother He, do you think we can catch a wild boar?"

He Anle: "Give me your bowl."

After eating and drinking enough, my aunt cooks, and He Anle cleans up the dishes.

"Let's take a walk up the mountain later, will you go?" He Anle didn't answer his question just now. He is very likely to catch a wild boar. Since the wild boar has gone down the mountain, the trap on his mountain should be Gained something.

The sun was strong at noon, they had to rest for a while at noon, and they would continue to go out to work after the hottest time passed, and it would not waste time to go to the mountains now, Li Tianfu said: "Okay, shall we go now?"

He Anle cleaned the last bowl, "Well, let's go now, hurry up, we can still catch up and take a nap."

"Okay." Li Tianfu found two straw hats and came out, put them on his head, and walked up the mountain. Li Tianfu didn't stop talking all the way, "Do you think there will be something in the trap? The wild boar ran out, wait What if we encounter wild boars? We can't outrun them."

"Just follow me. When you meet a wild boar, run to a place with many trees. If not, you can climb to the tree." He Anle said with a smile. Wild boars usually don't come out during the day, and wild boars also need to rest. He came to the conclusion that the wild boar was probably not on the mountain, so he took Fu Geer along.

The two of them were not walking fast, and when they got to the mountain, He Anle became more cautious. It is possible that the wild boar was still on the mountain. Walking towards the trap he set up, Li Tianfu looked to the front right and covered his mouth. Pulling the corner of He Anle's clothes, and waiting for him to look over, he motioned for him to look at the wild boar only about 30 meters away from them.

"Get down." He Anle said in a low voice. He saw it. They couldn't run with wild boars. Are there any big trees near here? Running will only attract their attention. It's better to hide in the grass and wait. let them go.

The two climbed down, stared at the direction of the wild boar, and slowly backed away. Li Tianfu suddenly found that Brother He was covered in cold sweat, frowning, and his face was pale.

"Brother He, what's wrong with you?!"

"I seem to have been bitten by a snake just now..." He Anle said with a wry smile. The snake seemed to be somewhat poisonous, and one of his legs seemed to be numb.

Li Tianfu gritted his teeth and squatted up. Sure enough, he found a snake on his calf. He pinched its snake head and killed it with a small stone on the side. He found the snake gall and fed it to He Anle.

The original owner of this snake knew from his memory that it is not very poisonous, but the people who are bitten will be anesthetized near the wound. Even if you leave it alone, it will be fine after a day or two. It takes a little time to recover.

The movement on their side is a bit loud, the wild boar is walking towards them, He Anle is not moving fast now, Li Tianfu regrets it in his heart, he has a crow's mouth, he said that he would meet a wild boar, but in the end he did. .

"Brother He, stay here, I'll lure them away." Li Tianfu said softly, covered him with a lot of things, made a little disguise, pointed to one side and said, "Do you still remember that there is a big one over there?" Tree?"

About ten meters away from them, there is a big tree around the corner.

"Don't go, it's too dangerous." He Anle disagreed.

Li Tianfu said nervously: "If I don't distract them, they will find us. The longer we delay, the more dangerous it will be."

He Anle raised his head slightly, and took out a knife from his pocket. He held it in his hand and handed it to Fu Geer, "Hold it, you can hit wild boars."

Li Tianfu shook his head, grabbed two handfuls of dirt from the ground, and motioned to him, "I'll use this later, so don't make a sound here."

He Anle nodded.

He should have believed Fu Geer, he had no feeling in one of his thighs, and he was only holding back Fu Geer when he went out. He regretted that when he went up the mountain, he should have prepared more things.

Li Tianfu took a deep breath, and when they lowered their heads, they ran out immediately and found the escaped prey. The two wild boars subconsciously chased after them. Li Tianfu quickly ran to the corner and came under the big tree. He was not in a hurry Climb up, but stare at the wild boars rushing towards him, enter the range, and immediately put them into the space.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and sat on the ground regardless of his image, "Brother He, I'm fine."

After waiting for a minute or two, Li Tianfu said in surprise: "What's wrong with this wild boar?"

"They appear to be dead."

Li Tianfu climbed up the tree, and there were two dead wild boars on the ground, and he couldn't keep living things in his space for a long time.

He Anle lay on the ground, looked around, but found no other beasts, and then replied: "They may be pretending to be dead, Brother Fu, don't move around."

Li Tianfu first broke off a few branches and threw them down, and then smashed down the knife. The knife was indeed very sharp, and it penetrated directly into the small half of the wild boar's body.

"Brother He, they seem to be really dead. I threw a knife at them and they didn't respond." Li Tianfu continued, all this was to explain how he confirmed that they were dead.

"Brother He, how do you feel?" Li Tianfu appeared in front of He Anle and helped him up.

He Anle looked around and said at the same time: "Why did you climb down? What if the wild boar is not dead?!"

Li Tianfu asked with a hippie smile: "Didn't I confirm that they are dead?"

"Take me there to have a look." He Anle said.

"The wild boar didn't seem to be injured, so why did it die suddenly?" He Anle said suspiciously. He checked it again, and there was really no injury.

They were still extremely ferocious just now, why did they die suddenly?

He Anle couldn't help casting his secretive and skeptical eyes on Brother Fu, and Li Tianfu said cheerfully, "I don't know, but it's probably my luck."

He Anle blew his whistle and sent it a long distance away. After a short wait, Dahei rushed over. He Anle was moving his body to make his legs heal faster.

When Dahei came to him, He Anle used a knife to cut a piece of meat for him to eat. Dahei often lives in the mountains, and his nose is much more sensitive than that of a human being. If these wild boars eat poisonous things, Dahei can be distinguished.

Dahei sniffed it, and then ate a piece of meat with big mouthfuls.

He Anle couldn't help but look at Fu Ge'er's eyes, and Fu Ge'er really had a secret that he didn't know.

Fu Geer, you have to hide it carefully, he is waiting for the day Fu Geer tells him.

After resting for a while, He Anle walked to the trap he set. When they walked back just now, he noticed the footprints on the ground, except for the footprints of two big wild boars, there were also some small ones.

When I came to the top of the trap, I found two small wild boars in it, half-sized wild boars, whose body was stuck in it, and they couldn't move even if they wanted to jump out. No wonder the two big wild boars guarded here.

"There are two little wild boars here, two big ones and two small ones, what about these?" Li Tianfu asked.

If these wild boars were eaten by their two families, other people would definitely be jealous, and they couldn't completely avoid other people's.

"The small wild boars are put on the mountain first, and the two big ones are divided between our two families, and the other is regarded as a gift from us to other families in the village."

"Then I will go down the mountain to find someone now?" Li Tianfu asked.

He Anle shook his head, "Let Dahei guard here now, let's go and see other traps."

"it is good."

Before He Anle left, he moved a big rock and smashed it on the wild boar's head, "These two wild boars were killed by hitting a tree."

Li Tianfu nodded, "I know."

The two walked around the traps in the village. In one of the traps, they found another wild boar. There were originally two heads, but one of the traps at one end was not dug deep enough. Looking at the traces around, this wild boar The wild boar was pushed down by the surrounding stones, and it escaped.

Another remote trap, because there was a sharp trap inserted at the bottom, the wild boar died not long after falling down.

"Come on, let's go and inform the villagers to carry it back."

The two of them stayed for a long time, and when they went down the mountain, they had already come out to dig sweet potatoes, and found that they came down from the mountain, looking embarrassed.

"Fu Geer, are you going to roll in the mountains?"

The smile on Li Tianfu's face couldn't stop, "Grandma, we caught two wild boars, and hurried up to help lift them down. We also took a look at the trap dug together in the village, and there was also a wild boar inside."

"Aren't you two injured?" Li Liushi hurried over and looked at the two of them, "The next time you meet a wild boar, don't be brave, run as fast as you can."

Li Tianfu smiled, "It's okay, we won't fight head-to-head, I'll tell the patriarch about it."

Fearing that his grandma would continue to preach, Li Tianfu ran away quickly.
