The Sweet Little Fulang

With so many fish to kill, one person would definitely not be able to finish them all, so Lu Gu went out to help after heating up the stove.

He took the knives and scissors and three old bamboo plaques, one bamboo plaque was used to store the guts that had been taken out, and left it for chickens and ducks to eat, and two piles of fish scales, it was convenient to pour it out, otherwise it would be difficult to sweep it off and throw it on the ground, making it full The ground is not clean.

Shen Xuanqing brought over two tree stumps, which were a little shorter but had a flat section and were quite heavy. They were just right for killing fish and would not shake.

Pour some water to wash off the ashes on the tree stump, and when Lu Gu brought the stool over, he took it and sat down, took out a fish from the barrel, and fainted from the blow with the knife on his back.

Seeing that what Lu Gu took out was a big fish, its tail was still flapping, Lu Gu had thin arms and legs, even if he had strength in his hands, Shen Xuanqing still handed over the one that had already fainted, and exchanged it with the big fish. up.

It is unavoidable that the fish scales are scraped and splashed. After there are too many piles on the tree stump, use a knife to scrape off the old bamboo plaque on the ground, and most of the fish scales will fall into the bamboo plaque.

The puppet stood up and lay prone on the edge of the barrel, stretching out a thick paw to pat the fish in the barrel.

After scraping the scales of the fish, Lu Gu got up first to add firewood, and when he came out of the kitchen, he saw the puppy poking his head into the barrel and trying to bite the fish, but was stopped by the big gray who came over with a low growl.

Dogs also know how to wink, and the boy stopped holding the barrel, and stood down on the ground, and without being honest, he went to pat the tail-wagging fish in the fishing net on the ground, and even lowered his body and swooped forward , I can play with a dog by myself, it uses its paws to pat the fish to play, but Lu Gu doesn't care about it.

The sun shone through the gaps in the clouds, and the sky became brighter. It was clear that there would be no more rain.

After killing a few fish, the body of the fish was cold, and his hands became a little stiff unconsciously. Lu Gu went to the kitchen to scoop up hot water.

Shen Xuanqing threw the fish entrails he took out into the bamboo plaque, and then soaked his hands in the warm water. He looked up at the sky and said: "Wait for another day in the sun tomorrow, the ground is dry and hard to go. I'll go out to hunt foxes the day after tomorrow, and tomorrow the two of us will be able to kill all the fish."

The cold hands were soothed in the warm water, he twisted the hot cloth to wipe his hands, and told Lu Gu: "When I go out, you have to work again, remember to burn more hot water to warm your hands, so much firewood is enough, no need save."

Having said that, Shen Xuanqing thought of something again, and said: "If you go down the mountain this time, buy a soup lady and bring it up, pour boiling water in it, cover it with cold hands during the day, and tuck it under the quilt to keep warm at night."

Tang Pozi is a good thing. They can't afford good charcoal fires in the countryside, and hand stoves and foot stoves can't be used, but Tang Pozi, who is pouring water, gritted his teeth and bought one, and the winter will be fine in the future.

Lu Gu only touched Lu Wen's Mrs. Tang twice. It was Du Hehua who asked him to bring him into Lu Wen's room. It was cold winter at that time. It was fine during the day, and he could find a sheltered place to bask in the sun, but not at night. Yes, Mrs. Tang felt so warm to the touch, he remembered it for a long time, and sometimes thought, if he had money, he would buy one, so that he wouldn't be cold at night.

But at that time, he only dared to think about it. Now when Shen Xuanqing said he wanted to buy it, he subconsciously looked at it, thinking that he had money to sell goji berries and other things in his hand, so he should be able to afford it.

Seeing his unblinking eyes, Shen Xuanqing looked expectant and serious, smiled and continued: "If one is not enough, buy two, put one by your feet to warm your legs at night, and put the other in the middle, so they will be hot."

I need to buy two more, Lu Gu thought for a while, the hot Mrs. Tang warmed my feet, and there was one in the middle of the quilt, how warm it would be.

He smiled after thinking about it, his brows and eyes were slightly curved, and he was as happy as if Mrs. Tang had already bought it.

Seeing this, Shen Xuanqing held the cloth towel in his hand and forgot to put it down, and stared blankly at Lu Gu. He had never seen Lu Gu smile so happily. After watching for a while, he couldn't hold back his laughter. It’s too far away, otherwise I’ll have to buy it for Lu Gu right now.

The puppies didn't understand why they were laughing, but they could feel the good mood. They ran around the yard to have fun, barking constantly, and it sounded quite lively.

-

There was a fishy smell in the yard, and there was a row of fish hanging under the eaves. Shen Xuanqing also built four wooden frames for hanging fish on the open space in the front yard at night. There were forked and strong branches inserted into the ground on both sides, so you wouldn’t be afraid of crookedness. Put a log horizontally on it, and hang the fish with twisted straw ropes. There are many fish, and the four horizontal logs are all hung, and a few are placed on the bamboo plaque.

Shen Xuanqing got up early and went out. The sun is getting bigger and warmer after a while.

Sitting under the sun, Lu Gu killed the loaches he caught that morning when it rained. He killed a few loaches yesterday and ate them for stew, and the rest were dried in the sun when the weather was good.

Loach is not too much, and it can be spread out to dry a bamboo plaque. Lu Gu thought, after drying, pack it up and eat it in winter.

After finishing all this work, he pulled out the mat and spread out the purslane vegetables on it evenly. It rained two days ago and the wild vegetables were not dry.

The mat is occupied, so there is no need to dig wild vegetables. There are still a lot of sweet roots that have been moved to the corner of the main room. Shen Xuanqing told him not to dig too much. Shen Yan and the others will also dig up the mountain. The sweet roots are heavy, not good Take it down the mountain.

Lu Gu was not idle either, he took a sickle and carried a bamboo basket and went outside to cut grass.

There are still sawdust for lighting the fire, but there is not much grass velvet left that is lighter and better ignited. The country people call that kind of grass igniter grass or velvet grass. The grass wool is mixed together and can be used when lighting a fire, and the dry grass stalks can also be burned.

The puppy ran ahead, Lu Gu found a clump of fireweed and stopped, fearing that it would run away, he shouted: "Hey boy, come back."

The pup already knew what his name was, and ran back after hearing that, his ears dangling as he ran, and rubbed against Lu Gu's calf when he came close.

The scythe was sharpened, afraid of hurting the pup, Lu Gu pushed it aside with his legs.

The leaves of the wild wolfberry tree are gradually turning yellow, Lu Gu picked all the wolfberries around the courtyard back, he went to the distance while weeding, and wanted to find some wolfberries and wild bath beads today, after it rained, the fungus It should grow out too.

Not long after autumn, the red and yellow leaves on the hillside are very beautiful, and there are mountain flowers in bloom. By now, most of the vegetation has turned yellow, and it looks a bit bleak.

As Lu Gu was walking, he suddenly saw a section of snake slough, the color was a bit like withered yellow grass, he was startled, he stepped back quickly, and carefully explored the grass with the long branch in his left hand.

The pups followed his legs. Dogs are more sensitive than humans, just like big grays. It doesn't matter if they smell good. They can tell if there are bamboo rats and voles in the dirt holes on the ground, and whether there are snakes in the grass. Come out, the puppy is usually too skinny, but it is also very psychic. It didn't bark at the grass, and there should be no snakes inside.

The snake slough looks scary, straightened it should be quite long, it looks like a big snake, Lu Gu is a little scared, the most feared thing in the mountains is to encounter poisonous snakes, he clenched the sickle in his hand, took After the puppy left here, it is better to go to a place where the grass is low and can be seen clearly at a glance.

Although snake sloughs can be used as medicine, not all snake sloughs can be used. He couldn't recognize what kind of snake it was, and he didn't dare to go forward to pick it up.

After walking far away, Lu Gu felt a little more at ease. He saw some fungi in the woods not far away. He picked some edible ones and picked them down. He pressed the fireweed in the bamboo basket down to make room for the fungi.

In the densely wooded forest, the sun didn’t shine much, and there was a layer of fallen leaves on the ground. The rainwater accumulated on the leaves hadn’t dried completely, and the dog’s paws were all wet, and the fur on the legs became darker.

Lu Gu picked up a lot of fungus in the forest, and when the bamboo basket was full, he picked it up and walked out of the forest.

There was still a little less cashmere, so he cut another bundle, cut off strong canes and tied them up firmly, and put them horizontally on the bamboo basket behind his back, and pulled the canes to his chest with one hand, so that they would not be afraid of falling.

The things on his back were quite heavy, Lu Gu looked for wild bath bead trees as he walked back, and he really found one. He and Shen Xuanqing still have quite a few, and there is no need to pick them recently. Just come here before going down the mountain. Goji berries Also let him find it.

It is not easy to carry things on the mountain road, he has come out far, it is already past noon, and he will cut wolfberry branches after going back to have a meal.

Autumn is getting deeper, and the two diligent enough are busy separately. Shen Xuanqing went out for two days to fight foxes, and came back only on the third day. Feeding the live prey, I can't take care of other things when I'm busy, let alone have sex, and at night when I hug and sleep, I can kiss for a while at most.

This time they stayed on the mountain for a long time, and they didn't go down until more than [-] days later.

First, Shen Xuanqing wanted to kill more foxes, and second, Lu Gu was afraid that so many fish would not be dried. If it rained during the few days when he and Shen Xuanqing left, the undried fish would pile up together. It's not that it's going to be damp and moldy, so you can just put it in the sun before putting it on.

The two of them usually go down the mountain once every half a month. The mountain road is so far away, so naturally they can't run often, otherwise they will waste a lot of time on the road.

Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing walked down the gentle slope, and at a glance they saw the wall of their own courtyard, and the persimmon tree outside the house. The red persimmons were all picked, and some branches were left for the birds to eat.

The three big dogs had long legs and ran home first, followed by the pups. Wei Lanxiang, who was in the yard, heard the dogs barking early in the morning, put down what she was doing and came out in a hurry, not caring about waiting for the two of them to arrive. Stepping forward, Ji Qiuyue greeted him directly.

"Give it to me quickly." Seeing Lu Gu carrying the bamboo basket, Ji Qiuyue took it with a smile.

The bamboo basket contained dried grass velvet, which Lu Gu specially brought back. A basket of grass velvet was not too heavy, so he carried it all the way instead of putting it on the cart.

"If the two of you don't come back, mother will let Daqing go to the mountain to see you two." Ji Qiuyue said while walking with her back on her back.

This time I haven't come back for so long, Wei Lanxiang watched at the gate of the courtyard every day, several times a day, and asked Shen Yaoqing last night if he wanted to go up the mountain, otherwise it would be worrying if he didn't hear from him.

Hearing this, Shen Xuanqing pulled the cart forward and said, "Mother, don't worry, it's not cold in autumn. Before winter comes, I want to make a few more skins, so I'll stay for a long time."

"Yes, yes." Wei Lanxiang replied again and again, her second child is the most down-to-earth, and if there is anything, there is a dog to report the letter. She glanced at the wolfberries and half a sack of wild bath beads in the car, and knew that it was picked by Lu Gu. He turned his head and smiled again: "Guzi is really capable, did you also dry this dried fish?"

Before Lu Gu could speak, Shen Xuanqing responded with a smile and said, "It's him."

It is indeed Lu Gu who used the straw rope to thread the fish to dry the fish, but Shen Xuanqing put in a lot of effort to catch the fish and kill the fish, how could Lu Gu take the credit, and said embarrassedly: "Erqing is also busy, we are together. "

Seeing the harmony between the two of them, Wei Lanxiang felt happier.
