Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 194 Go home first

"Then let's have stewed yam for breakfast."

Lin Heng went to get a grouse and stewed it with yams.

There was no way, all the yams were destroyed, and what was left could only be eaten.

Moreover, they are not very hungry now, so they will wait until noon to eat.

After the grouse was stewed, Lin Heng came over to help deal with the big wild boar, which had just been bled again by her uncle.

Lin Heng helped Uncle Gao set up the stand, and the three of them carried the big wild boar up to be burned.

However, the old wild boar's hair was too hard, and before the hair was burned out, the frame was burned first.

"Damn, these pig hairs are too hard." Lin Heng was speechless. He had been burning for more than ten minutes, and there were still hard hair roots on the pig skin.

Li Baiquan looked at the collapsed shelf and said, "How about this? Let's disembowel the intestines first, cut the meat into small pieces and then singe it, or take it back and process it."

"That's it, I'm too lazy to deal with it." Lin Heng nodded. After staying on the mountain for such a long time, everyone was a little tired physically and mentally.

Forty or fifty pounds a day means digging eight or nine yams.

After a few seconds, a figure with messy hair emerged from the camp. When he saw Lin Heng and the others, a smile appeared on his face.

Lin Yue's mouth was also opened wide at that time.

When he saw the blazing fire in the camp, Lin Heng's heart immediately calmed down. He was afraid that something might happen to his eldest brother alone here.

"Half more?"

The total amount must be five to six hundred kilograms, and they have to go back and forth twice to get it.

Even the dissection of the intestines was extremely time-consuming, and the division alone took two hours.

Everyone has a burden of more than 100 kilograms on their shoulders, but they are far from finished.

He said incomprehensively: "How many prey did you kill?"

Then everyone started to pack things, those who could fit into bags packed them, and those who couldn't put them together with canes.

"Feed these pig lungs to Xiong Ba." Uncle Gao handed the pig lungs to Lin Heng.

Lin Yue's eyes were as big as his mouth when he saw these things. There were too many of them.

Lin Heng shook his head and went to help Uncle Gao pick up the burden.

Lin Yue smiled and nodded: "Yes, I didn't hit anything, so I dug yams nearby. It only weighs forty or fifty kilograms a day. This is the amount of digging for more than ten days."

"Brother, did you dig all this?" Lin Heng asked with his eyes widened.

Xiongba got the cooked pig lungs and started eating them. After eating, he lay down next to the fire and took a nap with satisfaction.

Carrying the things, it was already dusk when we returned to the Sanchagou camp. The things were too heavy and the three of us could not walk fast.

Entering the camp, Lin Heng and the others were also surprised. There were actually three large bags of yams, which weighed at least four to five hundred kilograms.

Grandpa Gao nodded: "I think it's okay."

The large wild boar alone weighed nearly three hundred pounds, as well as seven small wild boars, four pig badgers, six golden roosters, four grouse, and other bits and pieces of meat and things.

This is still the weight after some of the things were destroyed, otherwise it would be much more.

"Oh my God, did you kill so many animals?"

Everyone knows how difficult it is to dig yams. It often takes an hour or two to dig out a yam, and it only weighs four or five kilograms. A good one can weigh eight or nine kilograms.

After cutting the pork into pieces, the three of them went to eat. They didn't need to deal with the hair on the pork for the time being. They would do it slowly when they got back.

After cleaning up, the three of them had dinner and went to bed early. Early the next morning, they bravely walked back.

Uncle Gao couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "You are so hardworking."

Lin Heng took the pig lungs to another pot and cooked it. Xiong Ba seemed to understand, squatting next to him and waiting with his tongue sticking out.

Immediately, the three people hung up the big wild boar, disembowelled it and disposed of it.

"Brother!"

Now just get some salt and apply it to preserve it.

Although I didn't get to eat the golden rooster, this big pig lung could hold up to three golden roosters.

Lin Heng shouted from a distance.

Lin Heng gave the burden to his elder brother and said with a smile: "This is only half, and the other half has not been transported yet."

After eating, the three of them went to the waterside to clean the pig's intestines and stomach.

"it is good."

"It's okay, old man, I can carry it." Uncle Gao smiled and shook his head.

"I'll tell you slowly when I get back."

This does not include the time spent searching. Not all yams can be dug out, and many that grow in rocks cannot be dug out at all.

Lin Yue was happy and ran over quickly.

"Big Brother!!"

"Wang Wang~"

Lin Yue dug so much with a small hoe, which is really hard work.

Hearing everyone's praise, Lin Yue grinned: "It's quite a lot, but it's not very valuable, only three or four cents a pound."

Lin Heng shook his head and said: "The price in the city is more than this. This is wild yam. Give it to me and I will give you fifty cents per catty."

"Then I'll trouble you, brother."

Hearing the news, Lin Yue felt happy and said quickly.

Lin Heng waved his hand, this is what it should be.

"Let's cook quickly and chat while we're at it." Li Baiquan said, he was very hungry.

"Then I'll make rice for you." Lin Yue nodded. He hadn't eaten yet, so he just happened to make it together.

After the rice was done, Lin Heng fried another bean curd. The vegetables I brought from home have been used up a long time ago, and now only fermented bean curd is left, so this is the only way to do it.

During the meal, Lin Heng told his elder brother what they had done these days.

Lin Yue was a little frightened when he heard this, and sighed: "This is too dangerous."

Li Baiquan smiled and said, "If it wasn't dangerous, we wouldn't have gotten so many things."

"Brother, are your injuries okay?" Lin Yue asked again.

Lin Heng shook his head and said that there was no problem anymore. It was not so easy to get infected in winter and his ankle basically no longer hurt.

Early the next morning, the three of them asked Uncle Gao to keep his hands here while they went up to move the remaining things.

"Then you hold my shotgun. It's better to be prepared if there is danger." Uncle Gao handed him the shotgun and said.

"Okay." Lin Heng smiled and took it, put it on his shoulders, and set off with his elder brother and uncle to the camp at the foot of Taibai Mountain.

The snow stopped today, but the sun didn't come out. There was snow everywhere on the road, and the three of them wrestled from time to time while wearing liberation shoes and holding wooden sticks.

The ground was so slippery that the snow by the stream had frozen into ice. Coupled with the howling cold wind in the valley, walking was really slow.

It was already afternoon when we went up, so we had no other choice but to stay here for one night and then carry our things down the next day.

"It seems that this solar year will be spent in the mountains."

Lin Heng lay on the bed and shook his head helplessly. Today is already thirty, and I won’t be able to go back until at least the day after tomorrow.

Lin Yue said with a smile: "We are not celebrating the Gregorian New Year anyway. With so many things, we will be prosperous during the Lunar New Year this year."

Li Baiquan also echoed: "With this meat, this will be the most luxurious New Year since I was born."

Lin Heng did not object to this. This was indeed his most luxurious New Year since he was born.

Early the next morning, the three of them got up early and walked back carrying their things.

Carrying something heavy enough that constant sweating can actually protect you from the cold.

When the sun came out, the ice and snow melted, and the road became easier to walk. It was only three o'clock in the afternoon when the three of them returned to the Sanchagou camp, which was much faster than yesterday. The main thing is that there are a few things missing.

After putting the things away, Lin Heng looked at everyone and said, "It's still early today. I want to go back by myself first and ask someone to come up and help move things tomorrow."

"It will get dark in three hours. Can you go back?" Li Baiquan was a little worried.

"You can go back. I can run very fast without taking anything." Lin Heng nodded. He wanted to go back early and put away the ginseng, otherwise it would spoil.

Uncle Gao could tell at a glance that Lin Heng wanted to go back to find his wife, so he tore off the two legs of the roasted grouse and gave them to him, saying: "Here, take this and eat it. If you want to go back, hurry up and leave."

"Thank you, uncle." Lin Heng grinned.

"Then be careful." Lin Yue warned.

Lin Heng nodded in agreement, took a bite of chicken, and ran quickly with Xiongba.

He is still very fast on his own, after all, he is a strong young man. In addition, he was only on the road without looking for prey, so he actually returned to Hongfeng Village at dusk.

In this cold weather, everyone in the village was indoors. Lin Heng arrived at the door of his house smoothly without meeting anyone.

dong dong! !

Lin Heng said nothing and knocked on the door silently.

"Who?"

As soon as he knocked on the door, Xiulan's crisp voice came out.

"Dad, is it daddy?!" Xiaoxia's milky voice also came out.

"No, your father probably won't come back for a few days."

"No matter what, I want daddy!"

Xiaoxia started to cry.

Xiulan hugged him helplessly and comforted her. Every time someone knocked on the door, she would ask for her father. There was really nothing she could do.

When she opened the courtyard door and saw the tall figure standing outside the door, Xiulan was stunned.

Xiaoxia was stunned for a moment, then threw herself into Lin Heng's arms, big tears rolling down her cheeks: "Dad!!"

"Dad hugs, dad hugs."

Lin Heng didn't care that he was dirty, and took Xiaoxia into his arms and kissed her hard.

It had been a long time since he saw his precious daughter and wife, and he missed them terribly.

"husband!"

Xiulan's voice was soft to the core. She also wanted to hug Lin Heng, but she was too embarrassed to fight with her daughter.

When Lin Heng was away, she missed him many times every day.

"Come on, let's go into the house!"

Lin Heng closed the door and pulled his wife into the house.

“Daddy stinks!!”

Xiaoxia wrinkled her nose and said after having enough time in Lin Heng's arms. It's like I didn't smell it just now.

"Okay, then you go down and play by yourself. Dad is going to take a bath." Lin Heng smiled and put her on the ground.

"No! Dad, don't run away!"

Xiaoxia hugged Lin Heng's neck and hooked her legs around him, refusing to come down even if Lin Heng stunk.

Xiulan looked at her daughter and said helplessly: "Your father won't leave, so come down quickly."

"I don't!" Xiaoxia's little head shook like a rattle. Although her father stinked, she wouldn't let go.

"I really don't want to leave, how about we hook up?"

Lin Heng kissed her white and soft little face again and said with a smile.

"I do not want!"

Xiaoxia still shook her head.

Lin Heng had no choice but to let her hold him.

The kid was right, he just wanted to stick to him. After coaxing her for about ten minutes, she and Lin Heng pulled each other off to the ground.

Xiulan looked at him and said, "Go and take a shower quickly. I'll boil the water for you as fast as I can."

"Wait a while to take a shower. Wife, you and I come in."

Lin Heng grinned, took his wife's hand and walked into the house.

He hadn't held this soft and tender hand for a long time, and he missed her so much.

Xiulan's face turned red, and her expression was tangled with shyness: "How about waiting for a good night? Besides, you haven't even taken a shower yet..."

Lin Heng looked back at his wife's face and suddenly smiled evilly: "You misunderstood my wife, I mean I have something to show you."

"Ah!" Xiulan's cheeks suddenly covered with red clouds. It was so embarrassing for her to misunderstand Lin Heng.

Lin Heng looked at her and said, "But, I miss you very much."

"Mom misses dad too. She says it many times a day." Xiaoxia said beside her.

Xiulan glared at him: "Bad guy, you will make me look embarrassed as soon as you come back."

"I am a bad person and I apologize."

Lin Heng grinned, he was very happy, because it showed that Xiulan also missed him very much, so he misunderstood.

If he hadn't been so dirty now, he would have wanted to take his wife and take a few bites to satisfy his craving. We haven’t seen each other for so many days, and he misses her all the time.

"What are you asking me to see?" Xiulan was pulled into the room and looked at Lin Heng and asked.

She originally wanted to keep a straight face, but when she saw Lin Heng's face, her eyes were filled with tenderness. She just wanted to know what he had done these days, whether he was hurt, and whether he missed her.

"Here, this."

Lin Heng took out something tightly wrapped in a plastic bag from his pocket.

"What is this?" Xiulan asked curiously, holding it in her hand.

Lin Heng looked at his wife's face and said lovingly, "You'll know after you open it and take a look."

Xiulan opened the thing out of curiosity, and soon the scent glands of the forest musk deer were exposed, and a strong musk scent came out.

Xiulan couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise on her face: "You shot another forest musk deer, this is too awesome!!"

Lin Heng was instantly satisfied when he saw the surprise and admiration on his wife's face. This was what motivated him to endure so many days of wind and sun.

"Hehe, that's awesome. How are you going to reward me, a great hero?" Lin Heng looked at her and said.

Xiulan looked at him with her beautiful eyes: "What do you want?"

Lin Heng waved his hand and continued: "No hurry, no hurry, I still have something to show you."

"besides?"

Xiulan couldn't help but become curious. It seemed that Lin Heng's second thing was more precious than musk. What could it be.

Lin Heng took something out of his coat pocket and opened it directly.

When Xiulan saw this thing, she opened her mouth wide and was stunned for a while, then she said, "Oh my god, ginseng! It's still such a big ginseng!"

"It's winter, how did you dig it?"

Xiulan couldn't understand that ginseng could be dug in winter.

The ginseng was still fresh, obviously just dug, which shocked her.

Lin Heng did not tell her, but held her hand and asked with a smile: "This is a century-old ginseng, is it powerful?"

Xiulan's expression was already horrified when she heard that it was a century-old ginseng. She looked at Lin Heng and nodded repeatedly: "That's amazing. Husband, you will always be the most powerful man in my heart."

Looking at his wife's eyes, Lin Heng was satisfied, and the suffering he suffered on the mountain was nothing.
