Chapter 46
squeak...

Liu Qingcao opened the courtyard door, looked at the two people who entered, and smiled.

"Uncle Niu, have you bought it yet?"

"Well, here you are." The old man Niu picked up a package from the ox cart and handed it to Liu Qingcao.

Liu Qingcao smiled big while holding the package.

"Thank you, Uncle Niu."

Thank you, Liu Qingcao took the package and happily went to the house, opened it, and inside was a piece of almost complete rabbit fur. The rabbit fur that has been tanned will not stink and rot, and can be stored for a long time. time.

Liu Qingcao looked at the fluffy snow-white rabbit fur, picked it up and rubbed it on her face, she couldn't put it down, girls are naturally fond of such furry things.

"With this, those stuffed dolls will be more adorable and sell better!"

Liu Qingcao took out the needle and scissors, cut the rabbit skin into large and small shapes, and sewed it up with a needle and thread, leaving only a small opening. Then, she took out the cotton from the cabinet and began to stuff the cotton into it until it bulged. Finally, close the last mouth seam.

"Well, it's not bad, it's pretty good." Liu Qingcao took the round, fluffy ball and pinched it in her hand, it bounced back softly, and it's almost ready for decoration.

Tomorrow, I will go to Buzhuang to find Mrs. Guo, make more styles, and let her watch the goods, so as not to forget the time when I get busy, and let her do it in a hurry, it is not good to start cooperation like this.

The old man Niu was sitting in the corner of the courtyard scrubbing the pig's offal, while Luo Shiyuan was sitting in the hut, putting the trident on his legs, and gently wiping the dust off it with a cloth.

"Uncle Niu, when are we going up the mountain?"

Luo Shiyuan stopped his movements, raised his head and looked at the huge back mountain, eager to try.

"Go at night, you can't leave in the morning."

The best season for hunting is autumn and winter, morning and evening. Now that summer is hot, it is not suitable for hunting. Only in the morning dew and at dusk in the evening, the prey will come out to move. In the morning, he has to help Liu Qingcao. Naturally, he can’t go away, so he can only wait. After dinner, I have time to go up the mountain to have a look.

Luo Shiyuan nodded, squinted at the scorching sun above his head, wrapped the trident in his hand with cloth, and put it on the table.

Liu Qingcao was in the house and made eight plush pendants of different shapes. After estimating the time, she put down the basket in her hand and went out to start making lunch.

Liu Qingcao didn't plan to ask the two of them at lunch, anyway, as long as it was according to her taste, there would be nothing wrong.

A large plate of shredded pork with sauce, shredded cucumber, shredded green onion, lettuce leaves, and topped with crust pie, it came out in one meal.

"The food is fresh today."

"Uncle Niu, someday it won't be fresh. I've grown up so much, I've never seen it, let alone eaten it."

"Ah."

The two talked to each other, but the movements of their hands didn't stop. Liu Qingcao was eating, and listening to the tugging between their words, her heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that his behavior was too abnormal and he was discovered! ?

Liu Qingcao raised her head, took a guilty look, and found that the two of them were doing nothing different except eating, so she felt relieved.

While heaving a sigh of relief in his heart, he also secretly warned himself that he should be more cautious in doing things in the future.

In the afternoon, the sun gradually set to the west, and the villagers brought firewood again. After Liu Qingcao gave the money, he asked the old man Niu to watch the burning, and made dinner at home by himself.

When eating at noon, Liu Qingcao heard them say that they were going to hunt after dinner. She didn't know much about this and couldn't help. She could only stay in the kitchen and prepare some dry food for them. If they were hungry on the way, they could easily deal with it. a mouthful.

"Here, this is dry food for you when you hunt. You can eat some when you are hungry, and fill your belly."

Liu Qingcao took out the burden and handed it to the two of them. Luo Shiyuan looked at it, but he didn't pick it up. They only went to test the water for one night, and they were full at night, so they didn't need to bring it.

The old man Niu walked by, but he picked it up.

"Take it, the night is so long." After the old man Niu had spoken, Luo Shiyuan hurriedly took over the burden, carried it on his shoulders, and followed the old man Niu with his trident and went out.

The old man Niu had no weapons, so he went up the mountain with a rope and Liu Qingcao's hatchet.

The moonlight in summer is extraordinarily bright, and the shadows illuminated by the moonlight are extraordinarily clear and long.

The sound of insects chirping in the woods, the rustling of fallen leaves, the rushing of streams, these sounds, in such a quiet night, come to my heart.

"Uncle Niu?"

Luo Shiyuan's heart was pounding, as if it was about to pop out of his chest uncontrollably the next moment.

"Don't talk, just follow closely." The old man Niu kept his eyes fixed on the front, and listened carefully to the sounds around him.

Although Luo Shiyuan was afraid, he still bit his lips and followed the old man Niu.

The hunting he thought was hunting pheasants and catching hares during the day, not in the middle of the night, but under the moonlight at night, walking cautiously through this dangerous forest...

"Right here, get down!" Old Niu's voice came from beside him, Luo Shiyuan nodded, and quickly got down on the spot, not daring to make other noises.

As soon as he got down on the ground, he saw a group of black and burly men walking leisurely from a distance of more than ten meters in front of him, with snorting and chirping sounds.

Luo Shiyuan's heart trembled, so many wild boars?If you accidentally provoke her, wouldn't she be trampled into a puddle of flesh?
The old man Niu stared closely at the wild boar in front of him, clenched his hatchet tightly in his hand.

It seems to be lucky tonight. If one of the twelve wild boars can be killed, they will earn money tonight.

The old man Niu pushed aside the blades of grass in front of his eyes, revealing a pair of long and narrow black eyes. Luo Shiyuan lay motionless on his stomach, watching the dense darkness not far away, swallowing his saliva nervously.

The wild boar walked past the two of them, Luo Shiyuan held his breath, for fear of being discovered by them, and his life would be lost.

After staring at the last strong wild boar for a while, the old man Niu turned his head to look at the people around him who were about to tremble with nervousness, pursed his lips, and let go of the hatchet in his hand.

After a while, the herd of wild boars went away, and Luo Shiyuan spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Uncle Niu, they have gone far away, do you want to follow?"

"No, there are too many, and you will suffer a disadvantage if you go up rashly. Let's go and change places."

The old man Niu knew it well, facing this group of wild boars alone, it was not easy for him to escape, not to mention taking Luo Shiyuan with him, if he wanted to catch this wild boar, he had to set up traps two or three days in advance.

Abandoning the wild boar, the two walked quietly in the woods, marking and carefully observing the surrounding environment.

"Uncle Niu, there are pheasants!" Luo Shiyuan pointed to a bush in front of him and whispered to the old man Niu.

After the old man made a silent gesture, he pointed his finger in the opposite direction of the pheasant.

Luo Shiyuan looked in the direction of the old man Niu's finger, a pair of round eyes with green light, fixedly staring in their direction.

He didn't know if the thing was after the pheasants, or them, or both.

Looking at this thing, Luo Shiyuan shuddered unconsciously. He felt bitter. This was the first time he went up the mountain and met some big guys, so his luck was too bad.

The old man Niu confronted the opponent for a while, it didn't move, and he didn't move either. This confrontation lasted for about a quarter of an hour, and the opponent finally couldn't help it and moved first.

"careful!"

The old man Niu watched as it slightly pressed its two front paws to the ground, exerted force with its limbs, bowed its back, and jumped towards them at an extremely fast speed.

Luo Shiyuan had never seen such a scene before, his mind went blank with fright, and he stared blankly at the figure rushing forward.

Seeing that he stood there in a daze and did not move, the old man Niu picked up the hatchet and threw it at it vigorously.

Seeing something flying towards him, its figure flashed.

"roar~"

It roared because of the pain.

"Bull, Uncle Niu, it's hurt!"

Luo Shiyuan was brought back to his mind by the roar, and watched it retreat to its original position.

The old man Niu ignored Luo Shiyuan's words, took the trident from him, raised it with one hand, and looked at the tiger opposite him without moving his eyes.

The tiger's shoulder was injured by the hatchet thrown by the old cow, and the blood gushed out from the wound, soaking the yellow and black fur.

"Hide behind!" The old man Niu yelled, and Luo Shiyuan quickly stood behind the old man Niu. He had no weapons, and his bare hands would only add to the confusion. Keeping far away would not affect Brother Cheng's performance.

Seeing that the other side made a movement, the tiger shook his head and swooped up, regardless of the pain in the wound on his body.

The trident is very long, and the tiger's speed is faster than before. The old man calculated the time and direction, stood with his feet apart, and exerted strength on his waist.

Seeing the tiger getting closer, the old man Niu held the trident in his hand and raised it over his shoulder.

Five steps...

four steps...

Three steps...

"puff……"

When the big worm was three steps away from him, the trident inserted straight into its front neck, and half of the halberd tip protruded from the back of its neck.

The end of the trident was impacted by the force of the tiger and sank into the soil. The muscles in the old man's arm were numb, and he looked at the tiger stabbed by the trident with a frown.

This big worm was not small, it was an adult big worm, it looked like it weighed at least three hundred catties, if it didn't have this big thing tonight, it might be seriously injured.

The old man Niu picked up the hatchet not far away, chopped a wooden stick as thick as an arm, pulled out the trident forcefully, and threw it in front of Luo Shiyuan.

The old man Niu came in handy with the rope he brought when he came here. He tied the tiger's feet tightly to the wooden stick, weighed it, and found that the weight was okay.

"Take the halberd, come here, let's go back."

The old man Niu looked at Luo Shiyuan who was not far away, and called him to carry the big worm.

Luo Shiyuan was only 13 years old, but he was not short in stature, but the big bug was too heavy, and it was too difficult for him to lift it.

"Lean on the trident and walk forward." The old man Niu moved the tiger back and forth, and the weight on Luo Shiyuan's shoulders became lighter.

On the way back, they didn't meet any other big guy. The old man Niu naturally understood that it was the roar of this big worm that scared away the other wild animals in the forest.

Luo Shiyuan walked ahead in a daze. He couldn't believe that they had killed such a big guy when they were hunting for the first time. Of course, he also knew very well what kind of danger was hidden in this deep forest.

If he was alone, he would never come to this deep mountain. At most, he would hunt pheasants and hares outside the mountain, dig traps and so on.

"Bang bang bang!"

In Liu Qingcao's sleep, she vaguely heard knocks on the door and Luo Shiyuan's voice.

"Liu Qingcao, open the door!"

Luo Shiyuan's voice was still suppressed at the beginning, and after shouting for a while, he found that there was no movement, and his voice suddenly became louder.

Liu Qingcao was startled awake by the yelling, sat up from the bed, put on her clothes angrily and got up to open the door.

"It's late at night, what are you doing!" Liu Qingcao forcefully opened the courtyard door, and roared angrily at Luo Shiyuan.

As soon as he finished yelling, by the moonlight, he saw the huge object on the shoulders of the two of them, and took two steps back in fright.

"This, this is a tiger!" Liu Qingcao stared at the big worm they were carrying and said in surprise.

"Let us go in, I can't hold it any longer!" Luo Shiyuan carried the big bug all the way, he was already half dead from exhaustion, and finally went down the mountain, but after shouting at the door for a long time, no one came to open the door. Now that the door was opened, Liu Qingcao was still blocking the door, he really wanted to give this girl a shot.

Liu Qingcao came to her senses, moved her body to the side, and let them in.

Luo Shiyuan threw the tiger on the ground, and sat down on the ground as if he was releasing his strength, he didn't care about any etiquette, all he knew was that his legs were trembling, his hands were weak, and his mouth was dry.

The old man Niu put down the big worm, fetched water from the corner of the courtyard, washed his hands, and sat on a stool to rest.

Liu Qingcao walked around the tiger curiously, and quietly reached out to touch the tiger's skin.

Smooth and soft, good stuff!
Liu Qingcao stared at the tiger skin, her eyes lit up, and she squatted down to inspect it closely.

This piece of tiger skin is almost complete, and if you buy it in the town, you can sell a lot. If you go up and sell it in the county, the price may double, and if you go up, the price will be even higher.

The rabbit skin that the old man Niu brought back for her is worth 100 taels a piece. If the tiger skin is well tanned, it might have to be sold at a high price of dozens of taels, and the tiger meat, hiss, is more than [-] taels of……

Oh, these two are going to post it!
Liu Qingcao opened her mouth wide, turned her head to look at the two people who were resting, her eyes were full of envy, but it was only envy, if she was asked to go together, she would be 1 unwilling.

But she really wanted the tiger skin and the tiger meat. These were good things, and they were hard to come by. The value of the tiger meat and bones was ridiculously high.

Alas, I have no money in my pocket, what should I do?
Liu Qingcao touched the tiger's skin, and her brain was running at a high speed. Suddenly, she grinned, got up from the ground, went to the kitchen and poured two bowls of warm water.

"Uncle Niu, what price do you plan to sell this tiger for?"

"Ok?"

"Hey, what a tiger! This is a big bug!" Luo Shiyuan rolled his eyes, looking at Liu Qingcao like an idiot.

Liu Qingcao looked at his shyness, twitched the corners of her mouth, and murmured:
"Yes, a big bug is a big bug..."

"Uncle Niu?" Liu Qingcao turned her head and asked Old Niu again.

"Go to the town and ask first." The old man Niu picked up the cup, raised his head and drank the water in the cup. Under the night, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes flashed tenderly.

Liu Qingcao didn't notice, and quickly opened her mouth.
