A scholar becomes a landlord

The other mountain is a little farther than the mountain behind the villa, but only a little farther. The two mountains are actually connected.

So the group of people only had to walk a quarter of an hour longer than usual to arrive. Yi Feng and Wei Le still had bows and arrows in their hands when they entered the mountain. Three arrows can be shot up and out, but not all arrows can hit the vital point.

Because this mountain is far away, people usually come up less often, and there are quite a lot of wild mushrooms and game on the mountain.

"I want it too." Xia Ju didn't ask Wei Le for bows and arrows, but asked Yi Feng directly.

"Master Xia, please."

Yi Feng honestly gave up his bow and arrow.

"Can you do it?"

Wei Le was leaning against a tree. He had just shot a few pheasants. Wei Fan and Xia Zhengyang had picked them all up and put them in the basket.Now that Xia Juan was going to hunt in person, Wei Le stopped.

"You can't ask a man if it's okay, you know?" If you can't do it, you have to do it. What's more important than a man's inability?

"Well, I won't ask if you can do it, but how long has it been since you took an arrow?"

Wei Le didn't set up the arrow for a long time, and Wei Le said that he was not optimistic about Xia Jue's ability.

"For a long time."

He hasn't touched a bow and arrow in the past ten years. One is that he is old, and the other is that he has endless memorials to approve every day, so he sometimes goes to the hunting ground to hunt.Of course, he still goes there every year to escape the fall, but he doesn't go down in person. He only encourages young people to go up, and the top three will be rewarded.

"Then take it easy! Don't strain your hand." Wei Le reminded him that he hadn't drawn the bow for a long time, and I was really afraid that he would strain his muscles.

"Understood, Wei Zile, you are really long-winded."

After getting along with Wei Le for a long time, I realized that this kid is very verbose to the people I imprisoned, like him is often read.

"Well, I'm too lazy to say another person!"

Wei Le shut his mouth and did not say any more, but Xia Juan also listened to his persuasion, and did not dare to bow hard at the beginning, so let's find out how he feels first!

It's been a long time since I drew a bow, so the first arrow naturally missed.No one from Wei Le and the others laughed at him, which made Xia Jue feel a lot better.

Although it is true that this bad friend often hurts him, Wei Le will not make fun of him for failing to shoot at this time.After all, it is too unrealistic for a person who has not touched a bow and arrow for many years to let him shoot his prey all at once.

Although he usually likes to watch Xia Jue's good plays, it doesn't mean that he is willing to hurt Xia Juan's self-esteem. He can clearly distinguish what can be laughed at and what can't.

"It seems that I need to practice again." Xia Ju was a little discouraged after returning the bow and arrow to Yi Feng.Back then, he was also an all-rounder in civil and military affairs, but with the passage of time, he has grown old.

"Not bad!"

Wei Le took a look, and although he missed the pheasant, the arrow was much stronger than Wei Le's first shot. At that time, the arrow he shot fell in two or three steps.

"Zile, are you trying to comfort me?"

Although Xia Jue was a little discouraged, she was not depressed for long, and asked with a smile when she heard Wei Le's words.

"What do you think?" Wei Le asked back again.

"I take you as comfort."

Of course Xia Jue knew that Wei Le wasn't trying to comfort him, and of course he wasn't making fun of him, he was just telling a fact.

Wei Le: "..."

"I'm going to pick up the archery again when I go back, otherwise I'll be ashamed if I encounter today's situation again."

He himself is not afraid of embarrassment, what is terrible is that he is ashamed in front of the ministers after returning to Beijing.

"Hahaha, then you have to work hard, and when you're done practicing, I'm going to invite everyone to eat wild game."

Wei Le patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and Xia Jue was very pleased with the good looks of the two brothers.

"we have a deal."

They hunted a lot of pheasants and hares along the way. Now that the family has a large population, they can give it to the veterans of Yi Zhai and Cheng Zhai if they don’t need it.

"What kind of mushroom is this?"

Xia Jue didn't know every mushroom. He only knew them when they were in the bowl and dish, which was completely different from the freshly picked ones.

"straw mushroom."

"What about this?"

"Russula."

"what about this?"

"mushroom."

Xia Jue pulled Wei Le and kept asking, Zhao An followed everyone to pick it up, and his master pestered Mr. Wei to ask one question after another, and he almost couldn't listen anymore.

"what about this?"

Xia Juan pointed at a particularly bright and beautiful flower.

"Poisonous mushrooms, don't touch them."

The more beautiful the wild mushroom is, the more likely it is poisonous.

"Oh~~" Fortunately, he didn't take it with his hands. Before he came, Zile made an agreement with him three times, and he was never allowed to touch anyone he didn't know, but he agreed.

"What about this?"

Xia Juan asked, pointing to something white on a dead tree. It looked a bit like fungus, but it was white.

Wei Le looked along his hand, then smiled.

"You're lucky! Brother Feng, come here and pick off this white fungus."

"it is good."

Yi Feng picked the white fungus from the dead tree in a few strokes, and it was quite a lot!I counted three or four flowers, and each flower was the size of a man's palm.

"I recognize this one because it's about the same as doing it."

Xia Juan pointed to a place under the dead tree and said, Wei Le and the others saw that there were a few ganoderma lucidum that might have grown in two or three.This kind of Ganoderma lucidum is not very big, only about the size of a teenager's palm in two or three years, and it basically grows from the roots of dead trees.

"You are really lucky today, I will cook Ganoderma chicken for you at home."

Two of the three Ganoderma lucidum were picked, leaving a small one.

"Okay!"

When Xia Jue heard that there was something delicious, she was full of energy and began to look for good things everywhere.

But he doesn't know a lot of things, so it's useless to search for it, and he still has to ask about everything. Fortunately, Wei Le has a good temper with his family, otherwise he would have beaten him up for his behavior of asking questions all the way. up.

"what is this?"

Wei Le was squatting on the ground to pick up ground ears. There are more of these kinds of things in the forest. Wei Le picked up the cleaner ground ears into the basket, and went back to let Daxue and Xiaoxue make a dish full of wildness.

"Dier, it's a wild vegetable!" Wei Le depends on how Xia Ju picks it up. Every time it rains, Wei Le picks it up and eats it in the countryside, because grandma likes to eat it.

"So there are so many edible things in the forest!"

Look at everyone's back baskets, almost half of them are filled.

"Yeah, if you can't eat these things when you take them home, you can dry them and save them. It is said that people rely on mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water. In fact, people with mountains and good roads can find food to exchange for money on the mountains. These things It is not rare for country people, but many city people have never tasted it.”

Wei Le pointed to a lot of wild mushrooms and said, there are some children in the countryside who don't know how many mushrooms, and picking them up can be regarded as a dish anyway.But these things are often eaten in the countryside, but because there are no outlets and the roads are not easy to travel, they can’t afford the price to sell them in the town. Fortunately, it’s better to keep them at home and eat them!

"So you want to build roads?"

Only then did Xia Juan understand why Zile had been thinking about building roads.

"Yes, the road is repaired, and the time they need to go to the county can be shortened by half. In this way, whether it is vegetables grown at home or things found in the mountains, they can be sold in the city. When the price goes up, their life will be easier."

Sitting on the ground, Wei Le, who is obsessed with cleanliness, doesn't feel dirty. He thinks that nature is the cleanest, and it is completely different from the dirty things that get on his clothes.

"..."

Xia Huan didn't know this at all. He didn't know that many people didn't have to live so hard at all. It was just because it was inconvenient for them to go out and they couldn't exchange good things for money, so their lives became poorer and poorer.

"I hope that one day every village in Daqing can build a road to the county seat."

"Yes, it will."

Xia Huan secretly clenched his fists. Now Daqing is getting better and better, and the treasury is getting richer and richer. If he can't do it, his son will continue to do it. If his son can't do it, let his grandson continue to do it. One day it will definitely work. .

"I am waiting."

"You'll have to wait and see to see if we make it."

"it is good."

The two high-five.

"Let's go, let's go pick up other wild mushrooms."

"Aren't you going to pick up the ears?"

"It's almost there. This stuff is not very easy to keep. If you want to eat it, you can just go up the mountain to look for it after it rains. It's very convenient."

"oh oh."

At noon, Wei Le directed everyone to make lunch.

Since we went up the mountain to pick up wild mushrooms, of course we have to try a picnic in the mountains.

"Brother Feng, go fetch water, Brother Dayong, Brother Xiang, you two move stones to build a stove, Xiaofan, go collect firewood, Zhengyang, go and deal with the prey."

Wei Le left two hidden guards and Zhao An by Xia Ju's side to protect him.

"And me?"

Xia Juan himself quit, pointing back at himself and asking.

"You? Sit here with me and wait!"

Wei Le pulled him to sit on the rock, not letting Xia Jue make trouble.If he travels everywhere, it is rare to be someone who protects him.An Weiyi secretly applauded Mr. Wei's decision in his heart, his master knows nothing, don't let him run around and cause trouble for everyone.

"I personally think that I can still work hard. Didn't you say that the picnic is fun only if everyone does it together?"

Xia Jue wanted to fight for himself.

"Then help me light the fire later!" Anyway, he was not allowed to leave the camp, as the insecticide had been sprayed here just now, and the snakes and insects would not come close.The terrain in the middle and upper part is relatively flat, and there is a stream flowing through it, so I chose to prepare lunch here.

"..." Xia Juan was ruthlessly suppressed by Wei Le, so she could only sit beside him silently.

"Okay, what do you think you know? Do you know which water is edible and which water is not edible? Do you know how to build a stove? Do you know the way to collect firewood? Do you know how to deal with prey?"

Wei Le posed a few questions, and Xia Jue couldn't lift his head from the blow.

"Not one."

"So just stay here honestly! I'll make beggar's chicken later, haven't you always wanted to try it?" Wei Le often used a stick to give a jujube. Get excited.

"Good good."

He still doesn't know how to make a beggar chicken!The ones brought up from the palace are all pre-processed, and they taste nothing interesting, and the taste doesn't feel like what Zi Le said, he has long wanted to taste it.

"Xiao Le, the water is ready."

Yi Feng came back with two clay pots and put them on the stove.Cheng Yong and Brother Xiang Tian's movements are not slow, and building the stove is probably the easiest job. Of course, the two of them will finish building one quickly.

"Master, the firewood has been picked up." Wei Fan came back with two large bundles of firewood.
