Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 45 I don’t want to separate the family anymore [Additional updates requested for further reading]

"Nothing, we have no intention of targeting you, Carpenter Liang."

Father Lin heard what Carpenter Liang said and quickly explained.

"Yes, you misunderstood, we are not talking about you." Mother Lin also said with a smile.

Carpenter Liang waved his hand, shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Whether you are talking about me or not, it is indeed my problem. I will apologize to you."

"Let's weigh it and see how much it weighs." Father Lin quickly avoided the topic and went back to the house to get the steel scale.

In the bedroom, Xiulan was wiping Lin Heng's back with a hot towel. When she heard the noise outside, Lin Heng couldn't help but smile: "Carpenter Liang is quite a figure."

"Keep your voice down." Xiulan reminded.

Lin Heng lifted his wife's chin and said with a smile, "Your husband must be awesome today."

"Awesome, you are the best." Xiulan rolled her eyes at him, pushed his hand away, and wiped his back.

After changing into clean clothes, Lin Heng walked out of the bedroom to see Father Lin and the others calling pig badgers.

"Twenty-four pounds, amazing!"

Seeing Lin Heng come out, Lin's father looked at Cheng Xi and said with a smile.

"Second Dad, how did you hit such a big pig badger? It's so awesome."

The eldest nephew Lin Wei already worships Lin Heng like an idol, which is simply amazing.

"Yes, Lin Heng, how did you hit him?" Mother Lin and others were also extremely curious.

"Let's eat first. I'm going to starve to death. Let's talk while eating." Lin Heng looked at the crowd and said.

This is natural. When the meal was served, Lin Heng first took a big mouthful of cold vegetables.

After eating, he opened his mouth and told the whole process of his hunting.

It was similar to what he said to Xiulan. He was not bragging too much. He knew that going too far was not enough.

"I'm convinced. You have nothing to say with your bow and arrow. You can shoot accurately at forty paces. Uncle, I apologize for my previous attitude. I've finished this cup."

Carpenter Liang shook his head, smiled bitterly, picked up the wine glass and drank the sweet wine in one gulp.

"Uncle Liang, you are joking. I am so young. It is normal for you to think that I should study more."

Lin Heng was not such a fussy person, so he also drank a drink.

"Drink some of this."

Xiulan came over and sat down next to him, handing him a bowl of ginger soup.

"Pure ginger soup!" Lin Heng took a sip and found it a bit hard to swallow.

"You're not a child, and you still want candy from him." Xiulan glanced at him.

Lin Heng stopped talking and drank the ginger soup in one gulp.

Sometimes I often get confused. After thinking about it carefully, I remember that in this era, gifts such as half a pack of sugar and a few kilograms of rice are all given.

At the dinner table, Lin Heng became the well-deserved protagonist because of this pig badger.

Sister-in-law Liu Juan smiled and poured Lin Heng a glass of wine. At this moment, his reputation as a second-rate son really began to be washed away in this family.

After dinner, the rain became heavier. Lin Heng walked into the kitchen and looked at the pig badger on the ground and said with a smile, "Dad, you and my brother can help skin it."

"No problem, you can rest." Father Lin nodded, a little eager to try.

The others were also awake, lighting up flashlights and kerosene lamps and looking intently at the pig badger.

Such a large prey is too precious for the family, and it will be precious meat.

Lin Heng went to scoop up the rice, added some lard, and made a delicious dinner for Xiong Ba.

After it finished eating, Lin Heng went over to watch his father skin the pig and badger.

Although the pig badger has a pig name and a pig nose, it is actually a species of the Mustelidae family.

The fur is not as hard and rough as that of pigs. Its leather products are beautiful and colorful, and are the raw materials for making high-end fur clothing.

The two ends of the fur are white and the middle is black brown. The hair shaft is moderately thick, has good elasticity and is wear-resistant. It is made into beautiful women's coats and is a popular leather product.

A complete pig badger skin can be purchased in the market for no less than [-] yuan.

Under Father Lin's skillful hands, the pig badger skin was completely peeled off and stretched out with bamboo to dry.

"This is a boar badger with beautiful fur." ​​Father Lin said with a smile as he looked at the boar badger's fur.

"It's estimated to sell for more than thirty."

Lin Heng nodded with a smile.

Carpenter Liang next to him cast an envious look. Although he hunted all over the mountains, he often failed to catch anything.

But it’s really like being open for several months at a time.

Sister-in-law Liu Juan is beginning to envy Xiulan. Lin Heng seems to have really turned around this time. The speed of making money is so scary.

After the internal organs were broken open, Lin Heng came over and took away the pig badger's lungs and liver: "You don't need to deal with these two, leave them to Xiongba."

The whole family was a little reluctant and looked at Lin Heng helplessly. It would be a waste to feed all such good things to dogs.

Lin Heng put it in a basin and said, "When the tyrant grows up, he can catch more prey."

"Lin Heng is right. Get rid of the intestines quickly and let's go to sleep."

Father Lin said something.

Pig and badger intestines are a good thing, and the fat intestines taste great when fried.

The eldest brother took over the job, simply removed the feces in the intestines, soaked it with plant ash and processed it tomorrow.

"There are still thirteen kilograms of pure meat, which is not bad!"

Father Lin weighed him again and said with a smile.

"You don't have to worry about money when building a house." Mother Lin was also very happy.

When she heard about building a house, her sister-in-law Liu Juan suddenly wasn't as eager as before. After finishing building the house, she might not be able to eat the prey that Lin Heng hunted.

Thinking of this, she even had the urge to break up the family.

"Okay, okay, put some salt on it and hang it up, and go to bed quickly." Lin Heng waved his hand and said, the family was so excited.

"Yes, it's time to sleep."

After hearing what he said, everyone felt a little sleepy. Hanging the meat out of reach of mice, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, but there were sounds from time to time, which showed that everyone was very excited.

Lin Heng lay down, but his daughter Xiaoxia did not sleep today. She was tossing and turning on the bed, which annoyed him.

But there is no way, children are like this, it is impossible for them to sleep if you let them sleep.

After coaxing her for a while, the child finally fell asleep. Lin Heng didn't have the energy to bother, so he leaned against his wife and quickly fell asleep listening to the pounding rain outside.

In the middle of the night, Lin Heng couldn't hold himself back and got up and went to the toilet. It was raining heavily outside and he had to go out to the dry toilet. He was freezing all over.

Back in the house, as soon as I lay down, I heard a series of noises, all made by mice.

The roof of his and Xiulan's bedroom was nailed up with colorful tarpaulin, because it was an earthen building above and dust often fell on it.

But with such a nail, the tarpaulin has become a world of mice, and they huff and puff every night, which is annoying as hell.

Because of Lin Heng's living habits in his previous life, he was not used to sleeping for more than ten hours. After waking up at night, he suddenly couldn't fall asleep.

"Damn it!" Finally Lin Heng couldn't bear it anymore. He got up from the bed and touched the flashlight.

"What's wrong?" Xiulan was also awakened by his movements and looked at him doubtfully.

"The rats are too noisy. I have to deal with them." Lin Heng couldn't bear it anymore. After being reborn for so many days, he was disturbed every night.

Xiulan rubbed her eyes and said helplessly: "I hate it, but they are inside the tarp on the top. What can you do?"

"Look at me."

Lin Heng got up, took a flashlight and shoveled a shovelful of corn into the large cabinet in the main room. After returning to the bedroom, he collapsed on the window sill.

Then he cut a hole in the tarpaulin on the window sill with a knife, then took the slingshot, turned off the flashlight, and waited on the bed.

Although the room is pitch dark at night, there is still some faint white light that can be seen through the windows. Human eyes will adapt to the dim light as long as they stay in the dark for a while.

"Is this okay?" he whispered into Lin Heng's ear.

Because Lin Heng was now squatting sideways at the end of the bed, she couldn't sleep well.

"Look good."

Lin Heng said something and waited quietly.

These mice are often very delicious, especially when it's dark. They eat whatever they see. Within three minutes, a mouse climbed onto the window sill.

boom! !

A dull sound sounded, and the mouse fell on the windowsill, its claws still trembling after it died.

Xiulan grabbed Lin Heng's arm excitedly. It was the first time for her to watch her husband hunt at such a close distance.

It was so amazing that the mouse was dead before she could even react, which made her even more excited than her husband.

Lin Heng was helpless. His wife didn't notice at all that she was only wearing underwear, which made him feel a little confused.

At this moment, a rat that looked about the same size as a bamboo rat rushed down from the tarp on the top.

A lightning flashed outside, and Lin Heng noticed that the mouse's fur was yellow, and it was obviously an old thing.

Just when it reached the window sill, a black stone hit its head accurately.

With a bang, the big rat rolled off the window sill and died on the ground.

Xiulan's hand grabbed Lin Heng's arm again, expressing her admiration for him.

After a few minutes of silence, two mice rushed down from the tarp again.

Just when Xiulan was worrying about how to kill two of them at once, Lin Heng had already taken action.

One was killed with a bang, and the other had just run to the edge of the window sill when Lin Heng's second stone came again, killing it as if it was black and white.

"So fast!" Xiulan couldn't help but shout.

Lin Heng smiled slightly and almost lost himself.

Over the next half hour, five more rats were killed.

"It should be gone. I picked up the mouse and went to sleep." After waiting for more than ten minutes, no sound was heard. Lin Heng turned on the flashlight and went to pick up the mouse.

"This one is so big, I'm afraid it weighs three kilograms!" Xiulan said in shock as she looked at the yellow mouse.

"There must be." Lin Heng nodded. There were nine rats in total, and each one was very fat. Lin Heng estimated that the total weight was at least eleven or two kilograms.

"What should we do with these rats? It's a pity to lose them. Why don't we eat them?" Xiulan asked. There was too little meat in this era, and eating rat meat was not a rare thing.

"Forget it, burn all the hair tomorrow and cook it to feed Xiongba." Lin Heng shook his head. Although it's okay if it's cooked, it's not good after all.

"That's okay." Xiulan nodded. If the mouse feeds Xiongba, then the pig and badger's liver can be eaten by humans.

However, after killing the mouse, there was no movement, but Lin Heng couldn't sleep even more.

The same goes for Xiulan. This was all caused by being too excited just now.

"How about we do some exercise?" Lin Heng suddenly suggested.

"Ah? How do you exercise at night?" Xiulan was a little confused, not knowing that this exercise was not that exercise.

The next moment, Lin Heng leaned over and demonstrated with his own hands...

"Well……"

After a workout, the two fell asleep hugging each other exhausted.

The heavy rain showed no sign of stopping all night. When Lin Heng got up early the next morning, there was still the sound of rain outside.

"The rain hasn't stopped yet." Lin Heng looked at the window, but unfortunately it was a wooden window sealed with white film, so he couldn't see the rain outside.

"It hasn't stopped all night, and it's probably going to rain the next day." Xiulan sat up and said. It was raining and there was nothing to do, so she didn't get up early.

Mainly because I exercised too hard last night and couldn't get up early.

"It's a pity. I also said that I wouldn't go down this morning to pick up the few green tadpoles I left on the mountain." Lin Heng said with some pity.

"Did you beat up the tough guy with a green beard?" Xiulan turned to look at him.

Of course Lin Heng would not admit that this was a guaranteed option because he felt there was no hope of catching prey: "Yes, I shot the one that feeds the bull, but I was afraid that the smell of blood would scare the pig badger, so I didn't hold it and threw it in the forest. "

"Then it's probably gone. The mice have all eaten it." Xiulan shook her head and said.
