Chapter 29 The deer bleats

When a few people came back with four deer on their backs, they looked like victorious generals, especially An Laoer. The dejected people behind them can be ignored.

The children in the village were wandering around this group of people curiously. When the village chief heard the news, he rushed over to take a look.

"Oh! Second Brother, your archery skills have improved! Now you have to go up the mountain every time without empty hands!" The village chief looked at An Lao Er kindly, and he became more and more satisfied with it. Last time, he even gave a big sheep as a gift. Give him the legs.

Then I think about my two miserable sons. They really have nothing to eat and nothing to do.

An Zhengqi, the son of the village eldest son, and An Zhenghe, when they saw the disgusted look in their old father's eyes, they wanted to cover their faces and run away. At least they were not empty-handed when they went up the mountain this time. The two brothers really caught a chicken.

Although he was scared by others and flew around, he ran into a tree branch and couldn't get out, and they saw him. Although he was lucky this time, luck is also a kind of strength! Not empty-handed, the two brothers are already very satisfied!

You know, there used to be only one hunter, Liu Erhu, in Xiushan Village, because hunting was not as easy as imagined. Liu Erhu has been taught by his father Liu for many years. How could this be possible for ordinary people without anyone to teach them?

Mrs. An looked at the four prey with a smile. Three of them were already dead. "Hurry! Boss, before it's too late, send the prey to the restaurant quickly, but it just died. And this little one, anyway." It’s alive! It’s more valuable.”

When Sanbao heard what Mrs. An said, he immediately knelt down next to the little deer, hugged the little deer's neck, and looked at Mrs. An and Zhang Xiuying pitifully. He doesn't like this, it doesn't work for her.

An Ningning looked at the little lamb tied to the side that was bleating, and then at the deer with its delicate features and big watery eyes. It wasn't like she couldn't stay.

An Ningning squatted down and teased Sanbao, who was pretending to cry, "Brother Sanbao, do you like that lamb or this deer? If you can only keep one of the two, which one are you going to keep?"

Sanbao stopped crying for a while and was so shocked! Can it still be like this?
  He turned around to look at the lamb grazing leisurely under the tree next to him. He felt the burning gaze and simply turned around, facing the crowd with his buttocks. Look again at the big innocent eyes in your arms, blinking and blinking!

Zi Sanbao really cried this time, he couldn't bear to do anything!
  Seeing Sanbao crying sadly, the villagers actually laughed as they watched.

Boss An looked like he was not done yet, so he told Mrs. An, took two large adult deer, and went to the city with other people in the village who were going to sell the prey. They had to get out of the city gate before the curfew.

When Mrs. An looked at her grandson Mi Tai, she almost rolled on the ground and cried. She lost her sight and said, "Xiuying! Come and coax Sanbao. Look, he is covered in mud, just like your monkey."

When Sanbao saw his grandma mentioning him, he stopped crying and hugged the deer and refused to leave.

Zhang Xiuying finally managed to coax Sanbao, "Don't worry, are you kidding me? Are you keeping the lambs and deer? They can't run away."

Old man An picked up the last half-grown fawn on the ground and prepared to go to the water near the lake to kill it and prepare it for roasting in the evening.

Mrs. An was hugging An Ningning and kissing her beside her. She knew that she could catch so many prey because she had a very lucky granddaughter in the family. As long as she went up the mountain, she would always be empty-handed. Does she know what the eldest and second eldest children in the family were like before?
  Ever since my granddaughter woke up after rolling down the mountain, she felt particularly blessed by the mountain god. Every time she went up the mountain, she was always empty-handed, and good things were given to her as if they were free of charge. It must have been so, since then the family has been blessed.

The old lady stood up, faced the direction of the mountain, and bowed three times with thanks. An Ningning was speechless, but also unorganized. Let the old lady think so!

Is it because of her mental superpower, the thrill of being able to sense the coming of prey, or because she is blessed by the mountain god and is more easily accepted by people of this era.

The deer tied next to her muttered, "Bah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!" at An Ningning, and a small stone licked her hand.

What a clingy little clever guy, but the deer can’t bark like that!
  An Ningning looked down at the little deer kid, well, this is indeed a baby, okay! It's up to you.

She had seen the kind of adult deer in the forest, and its ethereal "Ouch~Ouch~" could purify people's souls.

When Boss An and the others went to sell prey, they met a rich family who wanted to celebrate their birthday and bought all the prey in the village at once. These two prey gave me forty taels, which was really a lot. Even if I went to a restaurant, I would only get twenty or thirty taels at most.

Mrs. An put away the money with a smile. Lao An's family is not divided into separate families. All the money earned by the family must be distributed uniformly to Mrs. An.

Around the fire in the evening, An Lao Er invited the village chief and several clan elders to eat roasted deer. Today, only Lao An and his brothers caught a deer. Venison is a good thing. They cost twenty taels each, so Lao An was willing to kill one and eat it, which really made the villagers next to him envious. It was a pity that he didn’t have the ability to catch the deer!
  "Uncle village chief, come here I bought some wine for you and the grandfathers to have a few more drinks. My nephew was lucky enough to hunt a few deer today, so don't be polite." An Laoer took out a bottle of wine for An. old man.

Old man An likes to drink small wine. There is no peace on this journey. Let alone drinking small wine, he can't even eat enough.

"Big brother, look at it, your second child is not only good at reading, but also very filial. Today, we all take advantage of the second child." The village chief said the scene, and he was really envious. People are like each other. The gap is indeed huge.

Woohoo, the more I think about it, the sadder it becomes. No two in the family can compare to one.

Everyone had a great meal, what else is there to say? Eating venison and drinking wine at the same time, this was probably the happiest time of the trip, second only to the last time we ate mutton. There was no wine last time, so it was a bit disappointing.

An Laoer quickly suggested: "Uncle village chief, you see, Guangyang is also a big city. There are many people and they are willing to spend money. The key is that there are many mountains here, surrounding Taiping Lake. Do you think we should do it?" Stay here for a few more days and let the young people in the village go hunting together?

Don't go alone. My niece and I discovered a herd of deer today. How many dozen of them are there? My niece also hunted two this year, and she got the two small ones. "

The village chief and several clan elders were enjoying their meal. When they heard about the herd of deer, they became excited and asked, "Is it safe? These young people in the village have never done much hunting before. Even archery, they went out to learn it this time."

If you are willing to take them to find prey, it will be fine if we stay a few more days. We can save more money along the way, so that we can have enough money to build a house when we get there. "

"Yeah, they told us to go to a remote mountainous area. How remote is it, and we don't even know yet? I heard that you sold two deer for forty taels! It's really a lot, look at us In the past, when farming in Xiushan Village, the family worked hard all year round. In addition to having enough food, a normal family would only have one or two taels of silver left."

 Thank you for your monthly support! Thank you so much!
