hunter's daughter-in-law

Zhang Jin's belly was getting bigger, Yuan Hong was worried that he would stay at home alone, so he could only put hunting on hold.

However, dried pork had to be delivered to "Xiao Zhai" regularly, so Yuan Hong found out that there was a butcher in Wujia Village, five miles away, who would set up a stall in the town to sell pork at every market.Yuan Hong planned to go to Wujia Village to negotiate a business with this Butcher Wu, asking him to send 100 catties of pork every half a month.

The weather was fine today, and Yuan Hong took Zhang Jin, who was sitting in a comfortable ox cart, to the direction of Wujia Village.At this time, the crops in the fields are all planted, and farmers can often be seen carefully checking or taking care of the seedlings.

There are endless fields everywhere, there is no smell of pesticides, the air is fresh, and Zhang Jin's mood is much better.

"Tomorrow, I'll go to the village chief to buy a few acres of land." Yuan Hong said, "We can order more of what you want to eat."

"That kind of wheat, flour can make a lot of delicious things." Zhang Jin didn't know when he started to have a tendency to eat food.

"It will be all right."

"By the way, will crabs or fish be raised in the fields here?"

"Raising crabs? Raising fish?" Yuan Hong asked suspiciously.

Zhang Jin nodded, "Yes."

"Wouldn't the rice seedlings be eaten up by crabs and fish? Even if you don't eat them, they will be destroyed, right?" Yuan Hong said to Zhang Jin in disbelief.

"It's just the opposite of what you said. Fish and crabs will eat the pests in the field, and their excrement is the best fertilizer for the rice seedlings. Not only will the rice seedlings not die, but they will grow well. Also Yes, the fish raised in rice fields will be healthier than those raised in ponds, and the disease rate will be lower." Zhang Jin unconsciously told what he knew.

In the past, a practical activity was organized in the school to let students experience rural life.

The place they went to at that time happened to be in this mode. The old farmer who was the guide gave them a detailed explanation and let them experience it for themselves. Zhang Jin wrote a report on this practice after returning.He is still impressed by that event until now.

After listening, Yuan Hong pondered for a while, then nodded, "Let's go back and try."

What Zhang Jin said is very reasonable. No one here has ever practiced it, and it cannot be taken for granted that this is impossible. Only after trying can the conclusion be reached.It doesn't matter if you fail, if you succeed, the meaning of this will be...

Zhang Jin didn't expect Yuan Hong to express his tendency to act just after listening to him.

He was shocked for a moment, and then he couldn't help showing a happy smile.He was very happy, not only because of Yuan Hong's trust in him, but also because he knew where his shortcomings were, and Yuan Hong's courageous actions just made up for him.

The two asked passers-by several times, and finally found Butcher Wu's home.

This Butcher Wu's real name is Wu Gangmao, but because of his occupation, others don't call him by his name very much, and they just call him Butcher Wu.

His home is a brick house in this village, with a few peach trees planted in front of the house, and a slightly fat man about 30 years old is washing clothes.

"Who are you looking for?" The man asked after seeing the two of them, putting down his work.

"We're here to find Butcher Wu, and we want to talk to him about something."

Zhang Jin was supported by Yuan Hong to get off the bullock cart, and returned with a slight smile.

The man seemed a little puzzled, but he nodded and went to the house to call Butcher Wu out.

Butcher Wu is a strong man who looks a bit vicious, with a stern look in his eyes, and a rough voice, "What do you want me for?"

Seeing Butcher Wu himself, Yuan Hong directly explained his intentions without beating around the bush.

"Okay." Butcher Wu nodded, "I usually sell the pork you need for 12 renminbi a catty, and I'll sell you 10 renminbi. It depends on the quantity you ordered."

Yuan Hong and Zhang Jin had no objections, they agreed to come to pick up the meat every half a month, paid half of Butcher Wu's deposit, and they left.

Now that the matter was settled, the two of them didn't plan to rush back. Yuan Hong drove Zhang Jin in a bullock cart to look around.Although it has been some time since I came here, the places Zhang Jin has been to are very limited.

There are many flowers blooming at this time, and many beautiful flowers can be picked on the roadside and up the mountain.The nearby small hills, which looked full of red in the past, turned out to be full of azaleas.

Zhang Jin was amazed. It's not that he hasn't seen a more beautiful place before, but this is the most comfortable and natural place for him.

Seeing Zhang Jin's intoxicated expression, Yuan Hong smiled lightly, "I will take you to the other side of the mountain in the future, the scenery there is the most beautiful."

Zhang Jin leaned on his shoulder, imagining what he said was the most beautiful scenery, what would it be like on the other side of the mountain?This reminded him of a text he learned when he was a child.

The two strolled for more than an hour, ready to drive back.

When approaching an intersection, I saw an old man holding a black cloth bag, sighing and shaking his head.

When approaching, the old man took out something from the cloth bag and put it on the ground. When the two of them took a closer look, it turned out to be a wolfhound that was not too big or too small!

"I hope you are lucky enough to survive..."

The old man turned his head sadly, reluctantly preparing to leave.

"Old man, what's going on? Why don't you want it?" Zhang Jin couldn't help asking.

The old man glanced at Zhang Jin who suddenly asked the question, and seemed even more uncomfortable, and replied helplessly: "I can't help it..."

"It's injured like this, if it is lost, it will be a dead end." Yuan Hong said coldly.

The wolfhound was covered in wounds and lay on the ground unable to move. Seeing that the old man was about to leave, its eyes looked at the old man quietly, as if it was talking about something.

Tears welled up in the old man's eyes, "I don't want to either, it's just..."

Seeing that the old man seemed to have difficulties, Zhang Jin asked softly, "Can you tell us what's going on?"

"It's a long story..." the old man said slowly.

The story is like this.

Once an old man was chopping firewood in the mountains and found this abandoned puppy. He saw that it was too small and might not be able to survive in the mountains, so he took it home, but his wife and son at home refused to adopt it no matter what. No need to waste food on it.

Helpless, I didn't want to see the puppy starve to death. Later, the old man kept it outside secretly, and brought it something to eat from time to time.

When the puppy grew up a bit, he became very close to the old man.Once, he followed the old man back home. When his wife found out, he was very angry with the old man, and beat the puppy half to death. Fortunately, the dog survived.

Since then, his wife has forbidden him to give things to the little wolf dog, let alone to see it, and he is very strict about the food.

The little wolf dog seemed to know something. Since then, he just followed behind the old man secretly, only showing up when the old man was alone.Without the food given by the old man, the puppy has always been skinny.

Later, the puppy seemed to be able to hunt and grew up, but the old man discovered that it was a wolfhound!The black wolfdog in this place means unlucky, and the old man dare not let his family know of its existence.

After the little wolf dog learned to hunt, sometimes he would secretly bring something to the old man, most of the time it was a rabbit.The old man felt very sad, but there was nothing he could do when he thought of his wife and son.

A few days ago, the old man's son and daughter-in-law got into a fight because of disagreement. The old man tried to persuade the fight, but was pushed to the ground by his daughter-in-law.At this time, the wolfhound suddenly appeared, threw his daughter-in-law down, and bit him frantically.

Everyone in the room yelled in fright.This wolfhound is not yet an adult, and its stature is not big, so the harm it caused to people was not fatal. However, it still bit the old man's daughter-in-law with many blood holes, and almost tore off a piece of flesh.

The old man's son reacted and smashed it with a stick, and then the old man's wife also reacted.Under the siege of the two, the little wolf dog was almost killed, but luckily escaped at the last moment.

The old man's daughter-in-law, however, was bleeding a lot from her lower body, unexpectedly she was pregnant.The family hurriedly sent their daughter-in-law to the hospital, but failed to save the fetus.Originally, the old man's son and his daughter-in-law fought because they hadn't conceived for many years. But after waiting for so many years, the old man's son's eyes turned red with hatred, and he vowed to find out The wolfhound killed it!

Terrified, the old man secretly found the little wolf dog's hiding place, and found that it was seriously injured, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to survive. The old man had mixed feelings in his heart.

The little wolf dog was beaten like this to protect him, but it also caused him to lose his grandson.

After all, he was reluctant to let the little wolf dog be found and beaten to death by his son, so the old man quietly took it here several miles away from the village, thinking that some kind-hearted person could save it.

It is no longer possible for him to take it in, his son, daughter-in-law, and wife may already hate him!

Zhang Jin was filled with emotion.He sympathized with the old man's family for losing their unborn grandson, but how could this wolfhound say that it was wrong?How can it know so much without intelligence, it just jumps out to protect its master when it is hurt.But the world is unpredictable, and it has such an ending...

"We happen to be fine, why don't we go to town." Zhang Jin looked at Yuan Hong.

Understanding Zhang Jin's plan, Yuan Hong nodded.

Zhang Jin stretched out his hands to the old man, "Old man, please give it to me."

The old man looked at Zhang Jin gratefully, and said with tears in his eyes, "Please treat it well!"

Good luck tricks people!After all, he had watched this wolfdog grow up, so how could he have no feelings.

Zhang Jin nodded as a promise, took over the dying wolf dog, and drove to the town in a bullock cart without looking back.

Fortunately, there is a veterinary clinic in Chang'an Town.

"How could it be injured so badly?!" The doctor inspected its body and said angrily, "How could someone hit it so hard! Even a dog is a life! This is your dog?!"

"No, we found it on the side of the road." Zhang Jin explained briefly.

The doctor was very angry, "It must be some ignorant guy who did it again! This kind of thing happened before. Black wolfhounds are usually beaten to death when they are found. It is unlucky and evil! It is unreasonable! !"

"Also please do your best to rescue the doctor!"

"It's natural! You wait aside first."

After a long time, the doctor handed over the well-wrapped little wolf dog to the two, "You have to take good care of it. If it is still alive in two days, it will be fine. I will prescribe some medicine for you to take back, and there is food for you." I’ll tell you all about it later.”

"Thank you doctor!" The two thanked him sincerely.

At home, Yuan Hong prepared a comfortable nest for the injured wolf dog, and Zhang Jin fed it something to eat according to the recipe given by the doctor.It was unresponsive and fell asleep afterwards.

Zhang Jin put the wolfdog in the den, hoping it will get better soon...
