Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

Chapter 142: Silly Zhu Kills a Pig

So He Daqing no longer held back and simply told everyone the route he took into the mountains and his experience in the deep mountains and forests.

In order to make more people concerned, he even made up a story about a battle between himself and a wild boar, so that everyone would be filled with awe of nature.

This can also discourage some people from taking risks.

After He Daqing finished speaking, he emphasized again: "Although I know that what I said cannot dispel everyone's desire to try. But I want to make one point again here, those deep mountains and old forests are really very dangerous. There is no need, so it is better for everyone not to go."

"I said these because I was forced by Liu Haizhong, the second uncle. Otherwise, people would say I'm selfish and stingy."

"I'll leave it at that. It's up to you to decide whether to go or not. I still say that if anything goes wrong, it has nothing to do with me, He Daqing. If you want to find someone, go find Liu Haizhong. He's the one who persuaded everyone to take the risk."

"Okay, think about it yourselves, I'm going to go back and deal with these things."

After saying this, He Daqing ignored the people who were still thinking and pushed the cart into the courtyard.

As soon as He Daqing left, some people couldn't help but gather around him and discuss with Liu Haizhong: "Second Uncle, do you think what Master He said is true? Is it really that dangerous in the mountains?"

Liu Haizhong said in a nonchalant manner: "Just listen to what He Daqing said. If it was so dangerous, why would he go there on his own? He Daqing's family lives a better life than many of yours, right?"

"Since he can go, then we can go too. But we still have to pay attention to safety issues. Let's put it this way, if you want to go, come to my house in the evening and we can discuss it together. There is strength in numbers."

Liu Haizhong's words were supported by a large number of people. After all, if there were people to organize, the safety factor would be improved, and everyone would have fewer concerns.

Seeing so many people actively supporting him, Liu Haizhong proudly walked home with his legs akimbo, swaying his strong body.

As for He Daqing, the wild boars and rabbits he brought back surprised Sha Zhu and the others.

Sha Zhu hurried over and he and He Daqing unloaded the wild boar from the car.

When the sack was opened, the long fangs and rugged face frightened Yu Li, Chen Xueru and Yu Shui so much that they dared not get close.

Sha Zhu shouted happily, "Dad, you are so awesome! How did you kill such a big wild boar? This one is much bigger than the one I caught at my wedding!"

He Daqing took the pheasants and rabbits off the handlebars and said, "I'm lucky this time to have encountered a wild boar foraging alone. If I had encountered a large group, I would have had to run away."

"It's getting late, let's hurry up and get this thing out. Otherwise it will be inconvenient before dark."

After saying that, he took out the two puppies hanging on the front of the car from the cloth bag.

When He Yushui saw the two cute little puppies, she ran over immediately.

"Dad, where did you get this puppy? It's so cute!"

When Chen Xueru and Yu Li saw it, they also liked it very much and gathered around to watch.

He Daqing carefully placed the two little puppies in He Yushui's palms.

Then he saw two puppies, one white and one black, with their cute eyes open, licking He Yushui's closed palms with their soft little tongues.

The three ladies present were simply touched by this cute appearance. They all looked like they couldn't let it go.

He Daqing said: "I found these when I was passing by a forest. Their mother had already passed away, but the two little creatures were still crying beside her."

"I couldn't bear it, so I brought them back. They can keep you company and guard the house."

"Okay, find a place to settle them down, then make a fire and boil some water. Zhuzi and I will go and get rid of the wild boar."

After saying that, He Daqing went to help Sha Zhu deal with the wild boar and no longer paid any attention to these infatuated women.

Seeing such a cute little puppy, Chen Xueru and the other two women had already forgotten the existence of He Daqing.

After hearing the origins of these two puppies, my sympathy overflowed like that of the Virgin Mary.

He Yushui carefully held the two puppies and said, "They are so pitiful. I must take good care of them in the future."

Chen Xueru touched the two puppies and said, "Yushui, go and boil some water first. We'll wash the puppies clean and then make a warm nest for them."

He Yushui nodded, then carefully handed the puppy to Chen Xueru, and went to the kitchen with Yu Li to boil water.

He Daqing and Sha Zhu set up some wood in the corner of the kitchen and hung the wild boar up.

The wild boar was too big and its skin was too thick. Sha Zhu started to skin it. He Daqing helped.

After a while, Yu Li and He Yushui boiled the water.

Yu Li was helping Sha Zhu clean up the wild boar, while He Yushui had already prepared warm water and was taking it to bathe the two dogs. In her mind, these two dogs were more attractive to her than eating meat.

This was also the result of He Daqing pampering He Yushui too much after he came back.

In the past, He Yushui often couldn’t even get enough food, let alone meat.

Since He Daqing came back, the family's meals have made He Yushui visibly plumper. Although she can't be called fat, her skinny little face has become round and cute. She has also grown a lot taller.

So now is the happiest time for He Yushui since she was a child.

At the door of the living room, He Yushui and Chen Xueru carefully bathed the two puppies.

The two puppies were really dirty because they had been raised in the wild for a long time. He Yushui changed the water three times before washing them clean.

After Chen Xueru wiped the water stains off their bodies, a pair of very cute puppies appeared.

They are two, one white and one black, with round eyes. No girl can resist their cuteness.

He Yushui held it in his hand and couldn't bear to let it go.

Chen Xueru found some rags and a small wooden box at home and made a warm nest for them.

The two put the puppies in there and watched them crawling around in their little nest, their hearts filled with joy.

Chen Xueru saw He Daqing and Sha Zhu busy cleaning up the wild boar and wanted to help, but was persuaded by He Daqing to stay back.

At this time, Chen Xueru could be said to be a key protected person. How could she be allowed to do these tiring and dirty tasks?

This is the thought of He Daqing in later generations. Women of this era rarely talk about resting during pregnancy.

Many pregnant women still go up the mountains and work in the fields, and some even give birth to their children by the side of the fields while working.

As a person from later times, He Daqing knew how high the status of women was at that time. Who would dare to let a pregnant wife work? That would mean she really didn't want to live.

Which pregnant woman doesn't need to be carefully taken care of? As long as she doesn't cause you any trouble, you should be thankful.
