Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

"Aunt, I'm sorry to cause you trouble. I came here to escape the famine and didn't bring you any gifts. Please don't be offended."

Mother quickly pulled the two of them up and said, "Don't kowtow like that. We are all family. Just stay here and feel at ease. We have corn piled up like a mountain. We can't eat it all. Fu Gang, Cheng Ling, don't be polite."

It turns out that my cousin's name is Liu Fugang and my sister-in-law's name is Cheng Ling. Fugang, just hearing this name is full of the sense of the times.

"Mom, my cousin is amazing. Look at the delicious dishes he cooks."

My mother had already eaten, but after hearing what Liu Xialian said, she couldn't help but eat a piece: "Mm, fragrant, very fragrant."

My mother and the other two had already had lunch at home. After eating a little, they took my sister-in-law's child to help take care of him.

"You guys eat this, I've already eaten this, just try it."

As the mother spoke, she took out three big unity notes and gave one to each child. The two children happily took them and gave them to their mother.

My cousin didn't know what to say. The children had all accepted it, and it would seem hypocritical to fight over it. However, the gift was too expensive, equivalent to an ordinary person's monthly salary.

When I got off the train, I still had ten yuan left. On the way here, I was still thinking about how to get by, but I didn't expect that everything had been bought here.

As soon as we met, I gave the child a 60-yuan gift, which was actually a disguised form of giving money. I was afraid that adults would feel embarrassed to accept it directly.

The family was tired from driving, so after dinner they went to Damei's old house.

"Brother, sister-in-law, this is an old house, but the kang, stove, and fire wall are all newly renovated. As long as you are willing to burn firewood, it will be very warm. It is too cold here in winter. When the temperature is more than 20 degrees below zero, children should not go out. Adults must wear clothes, hats and gloves when they go out, and are strictly prohibited from touching the iron outside, otherwise they will definitely get a layer of skin off."

Li Hu and Xu Xiong helped to move things. It took them a while to get things ready. The hot wall of fire started burning and the room became warm. The two men went back to their own yards to practice boxing.

Liu Xia Lian also taught her brother and sister-in-law how to use the kang and fire wall.

In short, the kang or fire wall must not be extinguished in very cold weather. Once the fire is extinguished, it will be extremely cold.

"Okay, brother and sister-in-law, you should just take a rest. You must be tired from sitting on the train for several days."

Liu Xia Lian said goodbye to her cousin and sister-in-law and returned to the old house.

The three children were all asleep, on the warm kang, with brand new quilts.

The couple couldn't sleep, always worrying that the kang would catch fire.

Fu Gang said, "Why not light the fire wall more vigorously and keep the kang a little lighter. I always feel like the fire inside could come up at any moment."

Cheng Ling was also afraid: "I feel the same way, firewall is still safer."

After chatting for a while, Cheng Ling asked: "Boss, we have come all the way here, and we need to eat and wear clothes as a family. We can rely on others when we first arrive, but after a while, we can't rely on others anymore. What do you think?"

Fu Gang thought for a while and said, "My cousin owns a restaurant. I can be a chef or a helper. I can make 30 or 40 yuan a month, which is enough for our family. I see there is more than an acre of land in the backyard. I can grow some vegetables there. It won't cost much."

Cheng Ling nodded: "I think it's okay. My cousin is really kind. I don't know how to thank her for buying so many things. It must cost more than a hundred yuan."

"Who says it's not? This radio alone costs twenty or thirty. Go to sleep. Remember to get up in the middle of the night to add firewood, otherwise it will be cold in the middle of the night."

It was not until the evening that Daya and Erya came back from outside, carrying a few wild rabbits on their backs.

"Where have you two been? You didn't even bring a gun. It's very dangerous."

"It was nearby. We were planning to catch a few rabbits alive for you to raise, but we ended up killing them all."

Liu Xia Lian quickly explained: "We only raise pheasants and roe deer here. We don't raise rabbits because it's too laborious. Wash your hands and eat. I've left some cabbage stewed with pork for you."

Daya took a one-meter-long eight-sided steel rod and shook it: "The blacksmith shop sent this to me, sister. With this thing you arranged to make, there will be no danger in the entire Changbai Mountain. If a bear comes, we can beat it to vomit blood."

The steel mace weighs 60 kilograms, has a 20-centimeter handle and an 80-centimeter mace body. The handle is wrapped with nylon rope and feels very good.

Liu Xia Lian took it and waved it with just the right strength. She waved it left to right, up and down, just like a child waving a branch, very lightly.

"Da Ya, Er Ya, please don't hit anyone with this thing. It's too heavy for ordinary people. If you get touched, you'll die. If you get hit, you'll get injured."

"Don't worry, sister. We are stupid, not bad. We won't hit anyone."

"Okay, I'll serve you two some food, come and eat."

With the steel mace, the two men no longer carried guns, and only carried crossbows, short swords, and steel maces when they went out. They used crossbows for long-range attacks and steel maces for close-range attacks. As Daya said, no animal could withstand a 60-jin steel mace, even for just one blow.

Neither the black bear nor the brown bear can do it, and even the Siberian tiger cannot do it.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon and the demand for fish is increasing. Liu Xia Lian doesn’t even need to promote it, as villagers have come to ask about it many times.

I've had too many chores lately and haven't had time to catch fish. It just so happens that I have some free time these few days, so I plan to catch some fish.

Since getting a packhorse, Liu Xia Lian rode it around. There was a pond in the valley, where usually no one went fishing. But now that it was frozen, there were quite a few large fish in the pond. The pond was not big, with an area of ​​about two acres.

Early this morning, Liu Xia Lian mobilized her entire army, including Daya, Erya, Li Hu, Xu Xiong, Li Shaoling, Li Xiaofei, and Liu Jingwen.

My cousin Liu Fugang heard the noise and came over: "Girl, what are you doing?"

"Let's go fishing through the ice. Are you free? Come and help pull the nets."

"Okay, let's go."

Four pack horses, pulling ice picks and large fishing nets, rushed to the valley.

When Li Shaoling arrived at the place, he was stunned. This place was not too remote.

"Can there be big fish here? No way. If there were any big fish in a small pond of a few acres, they would have been caught by others long ago."

"Is it possible that the fish are hiding under the water plants? Now that we are here, let's get started."

There are some tricks to breaking ice for fishing. You need to open a hole in the ice, then lower the net, thread the net, and collect the net.

It's quite troublesome and time-consuming. We started at nine o'clock and finally got the internet online at twelve o'clock.

Liu Fugang finally experienced the winter in Northeast China. Although it was cold in his hometown, a military coat would solve the problem. Here, he had to wear a real leather coat, wrapped from head to toe like a bear.

A bonfire was lit next to the rice field, and a large iron pot was set up to cook some roe deer meat soup, adding a lot of old ginger. This soup is really warming to drink, but it can also easily cause internal heat and hemorrhoids.

Everyone ate some food and rested for a while. Liu Xialian saw that it was almost done and shouted, "Catch the fish."
