Traveling through the farmhouse: farming and making a fortune and raising cubs

Chapter 57 57 Where did you keep this dagger?

It can be seen that Li Changhui's hunting is fast, precise and ruthless. All prey are killed with one blow, and there is no second wound at all.

It is not easy to catch live prey in this way. After all, whether it is a pheasant or a rabbit, it is even more difficult to feed if it has injured legs or wings.

However, if it is a slingshot, it is much more convenient. As long as the strength is not too great, it will not cause wounds to the prey, especially pheasants and hares.

Just let them temporarily lose a certain amount of mobility and not be so agile.

Li Changhui stopped the movement of his hands, and looked sideways at Lin He.

It took a long time to watch, and Lin He couldn't understand it.

Touching his face: "What's wrong, there's something on my face?"

Li Changhui shook his head, put down the bamboo and hatchet in his hand: "No, I just think what you said is right, a slingshot is much more convenient than making a trap."

After finishing speaking, he got up straight away, took the bamboo to the woodshed and put it away, and prepared to go up the mountain with the hatchet: "I'll go up the mountain again, and I'll be back soon."

It's so clever that he was confused for a while, such a simple method, he didn't think of it, and he worked so hard to make a trap.

The pheasants and hares on this mountain have been harmed by him a lot recently. Even if they are made into traps, they are not so easy to catch, and they are still not as fast as a slingshot.

At least as long as there is no problem with the aim, it is possible to catch it if you see it.

It wasn't until Li Changhui went up the mountain that Lin He realized belatedly, how could this man say that the wind is the rain.

"Mother, where is Dad? Do we still need to endorse?"

Li Yu poked his head out from the kitchen when he heard the movement, and looked at Lin He curiously.

"Recite, of course you have to recite it. Your father said it would take half an hour to recite it. Are you going to be lazy once he leaves?"

It doesn't matter whether you can read well in the future, what matters is that you must have a correct attitude towards reading.

Compared with most places, Xiang'an Village is not very poor. Even so, there are very few children in the village who can go to school.

In such an environment, reading is a very valuable thing, what's more, reading and literacy is not just for the sake of fame.

The most important thing is that if you can read and write, you will not be deceived when you go out in the future.

Fortunately, Li Yu just asked casually. Seeing what Mother said was so serious, she quickly went back to continue reciting. It was just seven or eight sentences of the Three-Character Classic. After reciting it for half an hour, she even drank two large bowls of water.

Lin He really wanted to teach them the rest, but remembered that he was also an 'illiterate' now, so he held back.

There is nothing delicious at home. Dried bamboo shoots are the best choice for stewed pheasant. I looked at the sour bamboo shoots I made before, and they are already ready to eat.

Lin He thought about bringing some to Li Changhui's aunt tomorrow. The sour bamboo shoots are appetizing and refreshing. For sick people who don't have a good appetite, if you eat something tasty, you can eat half a bowl of rice more, and it will be better soon.

When it was getting dark, Li Changhui finally came back with a few more branches in his hand.

"I'll try to make the slingshot tonight to see which kind of wood is suitable for making it. I'll go to the town tomorrow to buy some animal tendons."

The branches were as thick as her wrist, and they were all standard in shape. It was hard for him to find so many suitable ones.

"It just so happens that there is not much firewood at home. Let those branches dry on the mountain for a few days, and then I will bring them back to light the fire."

Lin He, who was serving a meal, remembered what he saw at his aunt's house in the morning. The piles of firewood were all piled up under the eaves.

Thinking about my own home, there is not much firewood in the firewood room, and many of them have been drilled by insects, and all of them have become rotten wood, which is about to turn into ashes.

Those are the firewood they had before they moved here. It is estimated that the parents-in-law and the others did not use up when they were still living here, and they will not need it after moving to the new house.

Thinking of this, Lin He sighed: "Uncle is right, there are many things we don't understand, and we still have to learn."

Just for the firewood alone, they should have started preparing it earlier. There are so many dead trees on the mountain, and the living branches can't be burned for a while.

If it is true that the firewood at home is used up before thinking of cutting firewood, I am afraid that I will have to ask someone to borrow firewood for cooking at home.

Li Changhui scooped up water to wash his hands: "It's okay, just learn slowly."

Li Yu and Li Hao didn't know about their parents' little troubles, so they told Li Changhui how hard he memorized his homework today as if asking for credit, and he was only satisfied when he was praised by Li Changhui.

Today's pheasant stewed clear soup tastes very refreshing, not so heavy and greasy.

Lin He took a special look at it. Li Changhui ate more than before. He really didn't like too greasy food.

After dinner, it was rare for Li Changhui not to help wash the dishes, or even wash the clothes. He put down the bowls and went to toss the branches.

He moved very quickly. He first used a hatchet to trim the general shape of the slingshot, and then took out a dagger to trim the details carefully.

Lin He was stunned when he saw the dagger glowing with cold light.

"Brother Hui," Li Yu was boiling hot water, Lin He came out of the shower, rubbed against Li Changhui, and said in surprise, "If I read correctly just now, did you take this dagger out of your body?"

She was very sure, she definitely pulled it out easily, and pulled it out directly from her waist like that!
"Yeah." Li Changhui didn't refute, he even touched his waist, and took out another thing - a leather case, which should be used to put a dagger.

"I usually carry it with me, just in case it is needed."

Lin He's eyes were strange, what do you mean if it is useful, she has been sharing the same bed for almost a month, and she has never seen this dagger.

In other words, the dagger was always on him when he was eating, sleeping and working!
Lin He grinned dryly: "Hehe, that's right."

Li Changhui finally raised his head, saw Lin He's stiff expression, thought for a while, and said helplessly, "Don't worry, it's not for doing bad things."

I don't believe Lin He's face, Li Changhui can't, and it's hard to explain too much, not to mention that he put it on his body instinctively for self-defense.

After thinking about it, he simply changed the subject: "I might be late tonight, you help Ann take a bath, then go to bed first, and I have to go to town tomorrow morning."

This Lin He did not refuse, nodded and turned to pour hot water for Li An.

I didn't do anything today, but Lin He's body is not particularly good, and he gets tired easily.

After washing Li An, it was getting late, and I didn't have the energy to wash my clothes. I yawned, hugged Li An, greeted Li Changhui, and went back to bed.

Clothes and so on, let's wash them tomorrow, anyway, there are clothes for a change, so it doesn't matter if you don't wash them for a day.

After this sleep, Li An slept until midnight when he was hungry and wanted to eat, and he didn't even know when Li Changhui went to bed.
