Splendid Farm: Niangzi loves farming

Chapter 5 Try Hunting
Although Shuanzi's house also lived in a horse frame, it was bigger and bigger than Mo Qianyu's house, and had more things in the house, such as bows and arrows.

Mo Qianqian picked up the bow used by Shuanzi's father and looked at it. The bow didn't look very delicate, but it was very heavy. The bowstring was as tight as a steel wire. Mo Qianqian tried it, and pulled the bowstring with her strength. The ability to shapeshift does not.

She resolutely gave up this kind of weapon with great lethality in this era, picked up the hunting fork again, shook her head and put it down again.

It seems that Shuanzi's father is good at physical work, and he can't handle it by himself.

Knowing that the two families knew each other well, she was not polite at all, and rummaged through the alleys of Shuanzi's house, looking around and finding a roll of hemp rope and a thin ball of unknown material that looked good in the corner of the wall. The heart is extremely strong and thick.

She took these two things and asked Shuanzi, "What are these for?"

Shuanzi said: "My father used the hemp rope to tie his prey, and he kept the deer tendon rope for bowstrings. He doesn't care about these things!"

Mo Qianqian thought: "It turned out to be deer tendons. In ancient times, there were too few things suitable for making bowstrings. As a hunter, it is impossible not to care about your own weapons, but now that there are no people, it is impossible to keep this thing." It's useless, if I can make the best use of everything, it's not a waste..."

Thinking of her asking Shuanzi with those two balls, she said, "Shuanzi, Shuanzi, do you want to hunt?"

Shuanzi straightened his chest and said, "Think, I want to be a better hunter than my father, and then kill those people to avenge my father!"

"Revenge?" Mo Qianqian was stunned for a moment. Although he knew that Shuanzi's father was dead, he really didn't know how he died.

Shuanzi saw the obvious astonishment on her face, and thought she was frightened by his words, but he continued: "I will definitely kill those guys who killed my father, my father never greedy for others' things, why? Will steal their gold!"

"Steal...gold?"

Mo Qianqian tentatively asked, she thought that Shuan Zi's father had entered a certain rich family and was falsely accused.

Shuanzi stared and said, "Sister, didn't you forget again? It's just those guys from the gold mine! My father went hunting and went in, they said my father was going to steal gold, and they beat my father to death..."

Mo Qianqian was in a daze again, wondering if there is no king in this world?No one cares about killing people?So he asked: "Then, did you report to the official?"

Shuanzi lowered his head and said: "What's the matter with reporting to the official? Reporting to the official requires money. My mother took all the valuables at home, and the official didn't care. I heard they said that the rich man who opened the gold mine The more money you get, the county magistrate doesn't dare to deal with him..."

Mo Qianqian saw that tears were about to fall while he was talking, so he quickly comforted him: "Okay, sister understands, don't be sad, Shuanzi, you have to grow up quickly, only when you grow up can you avenge your father !"

Shuanzi sniffed, and said: "But when will I grow up, I can't even draw my father's bow now, and I can't bear to help mother with work, mother can't do anything!"

Mo Qianqian wiped his tears for him, and said: "It's okay, sister will take you out hunting tomorrow, but you have to promise that sister will not tell your mother and my mother for the time being, otherwise they will definitely not let you go, you know?"

Shuanzi immediately regained his energy when he heard this, and said excitedly: "Okay, I won't say anything, sister, what do we need to bring? Knives and hunting forks? Shall we hide the things outside first, so as not to be seen by mother and auntie! "

Mo Qianqian thought for a while, and said: "Take the knife with you, it can defend yourself, but you don't need the hunting fork, the target is too big, your mother will become suspicious when she finds that the thing is gone..." He shook his hand again. The rope and bowstring, said: "But these two things must be brought, it depends on them!"

Shuanzi thought she was also going to use this thing to tie prey, but didn't think too much about it. Instead, he asked about the uselessness, and said, "Sister, what does 'target' mean?"

Mo Qianqian waved his hand and said: "The goal is the goal, don't worry about it, you hide the things first, don't expect your mother and my mother to run into each other when they come back..."

"Hey, I'll go right away!" Shuanzi happily agreed, and took out a large and a small pair of daggers with birch bark sheaths from the drawer under the old cupboard, and said to Mo Qianqian, "I Dad also gave me a dagger when he went to the city in spring, saying that he would take me hunting this winter... Now we each have a dagger!"

Mo Qianqian looked at the pair of father and son daggers, smiled a little forcedly, and said, "Well, let's go."

Shuanzi ran out of the village in a hurry, buried the dagger, hemp rope, and bowstring in the snow, and then ran back quickly. The two of them burned up the stoves of the two families, pretending that nothing had happened. .

Because they were worried about the two of them, Shuan Ziniang and Yuerniang came back much earlier than yesterday. After returning, Mo Qianqian took the initiative to help cook and chat with them as if nothing had happened. They don't want to go tomorrow.

Shuan Zi was also helping out, and this kid was also very clever, and he didn't even say anything.

The two mothers did not want to let down the filial piety of the children, so they agreed, discussing that when the snow was bigger, it would save some effort to pull firewood with a sledge.

When Mo Qianqian and Shuanzi saw that they had achieved their goal, they looked at each other and laughed.

Zhang Erlai didn't show up that night, probably scared by Mo Qianqian's half scoop of boiling water, the two families spent the night quietly.

On the second day, Yu'erniang and Shuanziniang did not go out, they sewed and mended together.

Mo Qianqian quietly gave Shuanzi a wink, Shuanzi understood, took his mother's hand, and said, "Mom, my sister and I will go out to play for a while!"

Shuan Ziniang said: "It's very cold, what's there to do?"

Mo Qianqian stood up from the kang, hid under the sloping wall, put on his shoes, put the dog fur hat on his head, and said, "I'll take the peg to peel some birch bark!"

Yuerniang wondered: "It's winter, can you peel off the birch bark?"

Mo Qianqian put the other hat on Shuanzi's head while coping: "It's okay, I'm bored at home, just go out for a walk..."

Then he pulled the embolus and ran out.

Yu'erniang shouted from inside the room: "Come back, put on your mother's jacket..."

Shuan Ziniang also yelled: "Come back early, don't freeze..."

In the end, neither of them heard an answer, and Mo Qianqian and Shuanzi had already run away.

The two went outside the village and pulled out the dagger, hemp rope, and bowstring buried yesterday in the snow, and walked towards the mountain in the east of the village with them.

They were only interested in being excited, but they didn't notice that in a broken yard in the west of the village, a wretched man covering his face with one hand and holding some firewood in the other was looking at the two of them with his head stretched out.
