Pick up a president's bun

Da Zhuang rolled out a [-]-year-old Phoenix bicycle, raised his head to Xiao Man, and said coolly, "Come on! I'll walk with you."

Xiaoman said in surprise: "I still have to ride a bike? Is it far?"

Da Zhuang said: "It's not far, it's more than ten miles away, so it's faster to ride a bicycle."

Xiaoman was about to get into his back seat, when he suddenly found a problem, he curled his mouth and said, "How can I sit still with such a big bag on your back? If there is a stone on the road, and the faucet of your car flicks, you won't be able to turn it on." Shall I throw it off? The old injury has not healed, and a new injury has been added."

That's right, Da Zhuang carried a bag on his back, which contained some dry food, coarse salt, a knife, a small pot, blankets and other things. After all, he had to sleep outside all night and make things Eat and be prepared.

Xiaoman pointed to a huge bright flashlight inside and said, "I still have this, no wonder it's so heavy!"

Da Zhuang smiled mysteriously, and said: "This thing is good, and there are some wonderful uses, and you will know when the time comes.

However, after taking off the bag, Da Zhuang was worried, where to put it, there is no basket in front, and the back will be pushed against Xiaoman, so it can't reach the top of the head, or hang on the lap, right?

Xiaoman hooked the corners of his lips and said, "Just let me carry it on your back. You can concentrate on riding."

Da Zhuang refused, saying: "It's too heavy, don't tire you out."

Xiaoman frowned and said, "Then bring out a few. That's enough, don't fret, let's go quickly! It's going to be dark later, and it's not easy to go into the mountains."

Da Zhuang frowned, didn't know which thing to put down, and said to himself: "It's all useful things", but he was reluctant to carry it to Xiao Man, for fear of tiring Xiao Man, after all, he was a big man. It's better to be hurt.

Got it! Da Zhuang patted the front bar of the car and said, "Why didn't I think of it, you can sit on the front bar!"

Uh... sit on the front bumper!Sit on the front bumper!Sit on the front bumper!

It was like sitting in Da Zhuang's arms and running on the country road in the village at a prolapsed speed!

It's indecent for a woman to show off like this, let alone a man!

Da Zhuang thought nothing of it, and continued to say: "It's better to sit in front, even if you hit a rock, you will still fall on me, and you will never be thrown out."

Xiaoman lowered his voice, and said, "It's not that problem. This, this, this...show off in the market...you are not afraid of people laughing at you..."

Da Zhuang thought for a while and said: "Laugh if you want to. Can you grow two pieces of meat by laughing? It's better than walking with two legs swinging. It's more than ten miles away. I need one if I walk fast." It would take two hours if I took you with me. When I got to the bottom of the mountain, I had to climb up the slope. You must not be able to do it. I have to carry you up. Cycling can save some energy."

How can we not save some effort?There are exciting and important events in the evening!Not only does Xiao Man have to save his strength, but Da Zhuang himself, as a hard worker, must also save his energy.Why bother to tire yourself out like a dog in order to care about other people's eyes!

"It's better to ride a bicycle." Seeing Da Zhuang insisted, Xiao Man didn't mind, he thought for a while, ran back to the house and found a Xu Wenqiang style long white scarf that was popular a few years ago, and put it on the jacket. He put on his hood and put on a scarf until his face was completely covered, then Shi Shiran raised his eyebrows playfully at Da Zhuang and said, "That's it, you're ashamed, I'm not ashamed."

Da Zhuang smiled tolerantly, and said: "All right, all right, I'm the most embarrassing. You can wear a hat and scarf. It's cold and windy. It's uncomfortable to blow on your face. It's just a good way to block the wind."

Facts have proved that Xiaoman is completely overwhelmed, because the weather is cold and it is the winter slack period, there are almost no people along the way, except for the occasional people working in the fields. Who doesn't want to go back to drink some hot water after work?Therefore, almost no one raised their heads to look at them.So Da Zhuang took Xiao Man along the way.

After riding for half an hour, we arrived at the foot of Qinglian Mountain.

In winter, the sun sets early, and it’s only around four o’clock in the afternoon. The sun has already slanted behind the mountain. The evergreen pines and cypresses point directly to the sky, covering the forest quite darkly.Thinking of the upcoming night in the forest for the two of them, his eyes lit up with excitement, and the blood flow seemed to speed up a little.

Xiaoman is a hands-off guy, and Dazhuang is a natural logistics department. When Xiaoman looks at the scenery and wonders, Dazhuang turns his head and looks around for a suitable place to hide his bicycle. After all, the uphill road is a bit steep, and you can't ride with a bicycle. , It’s just a burden now, why not put it at the foot of the mountain, and pray that no one will be secretly ridden away.

Da Zhuang found a small slope on the back with great difficulty. It was not enough to lock the bicycle, so he took a chain and locked it out, and locked the bicycle with the root of a tree, so that someone might not be able to open the lock and carry it. Run with the car.In the end, Da Zhuang also found many dead branches to cover the bicycle, which can be regarded as a cover.

Xiaoman curled his lips when he saw it, and said: "If this bicycle is a person, it should be crying now, the whole thing is tied up."

Da Zhuang shrugged his shoulders at Xiao Man, and said, "I don't know if this can prevent thieves. Well, I hope this car is still here when we go down the mountain, otherwise, we can only walk home with ham."

Xiao Man said disapprovingly: "Who wants such a rotten bicycle? I have ridden this way, and my bones are going to be knocked apart."

Da Zhuang scratched Xiao Man's straight nose, and said affectionately: "You are so delicate, but I like it. Come on, my sweet daughter-in-law, rest when you are tired, and I will carry you up the mountain."

Xiaoman refuses, it's finally here, it's fresh, and I can't wait to walk around and play, why do I need someone to carry it?Besides, although Da Zhuang kept calling "wife" and "wife", it was impossible for Xiaoman to really treat herself as a woman, and she needed to be taken care of everywhere.

Xiaoman vaguely remembers that he seems to like outdoor sports more, but the outdoor sports of urban people are different from the hunting in the mountains and forests of rural people in order to survive.The outdoor sports of urban people are like living in the city and getting tired of living in the city. Walking around in another place brings the whole feeling of games, entertainment, visiting here, and superficial water. It is exquisite and expensive. In the eyes of rural people, it is simply It's just spending money to play house, and the money is too much to burn.

And as Da Zhuang walks like this, while looking at the scenery, he can also easily hunt a pheasant, hunt a rabbit, pick some mushrooms and so on. live travel.

Xiao Man was full of freshness, and asked Da Zhuang all the way: "Can there be mushrooms in winter? Isn't everything growing in spring?"

Da Zhuang said: "Mushrooms don't grow in winter, but mushrooms grow in autumn. However, there are few people in this mountain forest, and there are only leftovers if no one picks them. You see,"

Da Zhuang pulled Xiao Man to squat down beside a tree stump that was cut down a few years ago, and the trunk still remained, pointed to the surroundings of the tree stump and said, "Look! What is this mushroom?"

Xiaoman took a closer look, hey, really!There is really a circle of white mushrooms growing around the stump, but it looks a little shriveled, not as fresh and tender as the mushrooms sold in the market.

Da Zhuang told Xiao Man: "In terms of the season, the mushrooms were going to die, but there happened to be no trees here, the sun was leaking in and the wind was blowing, so I dried these mushrooms and kept them well. Let’s make roast chicken for us to eat at night. If there is no sun or wind under other trees with dense leaves, they would have been rotten and used as fertilizer.

Xiaoman understood, oh, it turns out that there are mushrooms under the tree stumps. In fact, they are not mushrooms, but the "corpse" of mushrooms. It is only because of the climate and the suitable cool wind that they become edible "mummy".

Picking a few handfuls of mushrooms, reckoning it would be enough seasoning for roast chicken, Xiaoman said with a smile: "Now it depends on your ability to catch pheasants and hares."

Da Zhuang said helplessly: "I have to catch a lot of those little gadgets a year, but I usually use clips or a noose to catch them, which saves effort. I don't even have a dog to help catch them with bare hands. I really don't know what to do. If we can't catch it, let's make mushroom soup at night, and eat some soup with rice in the future."

Xiaoman showed a disappointed expression, and said, "Tch, I would not have come if I had said so earlier! There is no barbecue for camping!"

Da Zhuang immediately said: "Just kidding, since I brought you out, how can I entertain you? Don't worry, there is no trap or hunting dog, and I can still catch you!"

Xiaoman became excited again, and said, "Really? That's great. Hey, how do you catch it? The rabbit is eager to bite, and the pheasant is probably not easy to catch. The pheasant can fly."

Da Zhuang patted the backpack on his back and said, "Now the baby in my bag will come in handy."

Xiao Man hurriedly said: "Then hurry up, I can't wait."

Da Zhuang said: "We have to wait a while. The rabbits will not come out of the hole until it is completely dark. Let's first look at the rabbit droppings on the ground and find a place with many rabbits. If you want to catch a big one."

After walking for a while, Da Zhuang pointed to the ground and said to Xiao Man, "There are a lot of rabbits here. Look, there are a lot of rabbit droppings on the ground."

Xiao Man lowered his head and glanced, very bewildered, where is the dung, why didn't he see it.

Da Zhuang laughed, tapped his toes, and said, "That's it, can't you see it?"

Xiaoman took a closer look, hey, there are indeed, but it looks like a small tadpole that was dried to death after swimming ashore. Could this be rabbit droppings?

Seeing Da Zhuang's unquestionable expression, it's obvious, Xiao Man nodded and said, "Okay, got it. I'll get to know you next time."

"Then now...do you want to start arresting?" Xiaoman asked eagerly.

Da Zhuang said: "We have to wait a while. The wild rabbit is easy to catch, and it is not easy to catch. It usually hides in the hole during the day and sleeps, and comes out to graze at night. As the saying goes, The horse has no night grass and is not fat, hahaha, in fact, the rabbit is the same, otherwise, if it ran around during the day, it would have been caught by people long ago, and it would have been extinct."

Xiaoman suddenly realized, and said: "Oh, so it is like this. Let's wait a little longer, but there is a problem, if it is dark, we will not be able to see, even if the rabbits come out to eat grass, we will not be able to see."

Da Zhuang took out the strong light from his bag and said, "So, this came in handy. You may not know, Xiao Man, that both pheasants and hares have a characteristic that they are particularly afraid of light. As for pheasants, they are afraid of light. It is fixed there, and you can easily catch it with a rope. The hare is more troublesome, it can run, but it has a characteristic when running, it likes to run under the circle of light, you just chase Just hold it and keep shooting it with light, and it won’t be able to run out, and then I’ll take this slingshot and hit its hind legs, and it’ll be done.”

"Oh—so that's how it is." Xiao Man suddenly realized again, raised his thumb to Da Zhuang, and said, "This method is really clever, thanks to you thinking of it."

Da Zhuang scratched his head and said: "I didn't come up with it. I followed someone to the mountains once and saw others doing it, so I just learned it. Later, I became more and more proficient. It is better than the person who taught me this trick at the beginning." There is a lot of hunting. In addition to this, there is another way to catch rabbits with bare hands, which is to find a rabbit hole, usually with several holes, one of which is smoked, and the other holes are made of wire. The cover can also catch rabbits, and even the end of the pot can catch many rabbits at a time, both big and small. However, I still find it a bit laborious and laborious, and what’s more, if you catch the ones that haven’t grown Little Rabbit, I can’t bear to look at it, even if I let it go, but if it eats its mother or father, wouldn’t it become a little orphan rabbit? So, I usually don’t use that method.”

Xiaoman smiled and said: "Yes, I also agree. We have to eat animals as a last resort, but we can't kill animals. Also, Da Zhuang, I also found that you have a great advantage. You are very good at learning. Everything is fast, and you can still think about improving it. It’s really rare. It reminds me of the Japanese craftsman culture. I accidentally dragged it too far, hey, Da Zhuang is getting dark now, can we start?…”

Xiao Man didn't finish his sentence, but saw Da Zhuang put his finger on his lips and made a "shh" movement.

Xiao Man hurriedly fell silent, and slowly turned his head following Da Zhuang's gaze.

On the tree behind Xiaoman, a colorful pheasant appeared out of nowhere, with its chest puffed out and its colorful tail falling down long, very beautiful.

Da Zhuang held the strong flashlight in his hand, then raised it up in slow motion, facing the pheasant.

Suddenly, the light of the snow-white incandescent lamp shot out suddenly.

Xiaoman hurriedly turned around to look.

I saw that strong and beautiful pheasant really stood there motionless, as if it had been frozen.

Da Zhuang whispered, "Hold the lamp for me. I didn't expect one to come out so soon, and I didn't even take out the net."

Xiao Man hurriedly took it over and helped Da Zhuang lift the lamp. Da Zhuang, who was free, quickly took out the net from his backpack, and while the stupid chicken was rendered incapacitated by the strong light, Da Zhuang let go of it nimbly.

The net flew out and precisely covered the pheasant's body.

The pheasant made a sad "cluck" cry.

Da Zhuang went over to hold the pheasant, picked it up and looked at it, smiled immediately, and said: "It probably weighs five or six catties. This chicken is very fat, but it is better than ours. Okay, Xiaoman, what you ordered is called The chicks are gone. Now catch the rabbits."

Da Zhuang's slingshot is made by himself, a whole section of mulberry tree trunk, very regular, it looks like a small bow and crossbow, Xiao Man couldn't put it down after seeing it, and said: "Make me one too."

Da Zhuang quickly flattered and said: "It's yours. But, let me use it now."

Xiao Man couldn't help laughing, touched his big head, and said, "That's good."

About 10 minutes later, it was finally completely dark, and it was pitch black everywhere. Xiaoman was a little scared, dragging his big and strong palms, and followed his footsteps closely, thinking, fortunately, the snakes hibernate in winter, otherwise they would step on The previous one was too scary.

Da Zhuang pricked up his ears and walked slowly and vigilantly, truly "seeing all directions with his eyes and listening to all directions with his ears".

Suddenly, Da Zhuang suddenly raised the strong light in his hand, Xiao Man looked along the bright light, wow!Sure enough, there was a fat hare holding the grass and gnawing fiercely.

The light shone on Fat Rabbit's eyes, making it motionless in fright.

Xiaoman quickly squatted on the ground to pick up a stone, and shot at the rabbit with his big and strong slingshot.

Unfortunately, this slingshot looked good, but it was not easy to use, Xiaoman missed his aim, and the stone flew past the rabbit.

The rabbit reacted in a jerk, and then began to run wildly.

Da Zhuang snatched the slingshot from Xiaoman's hand, held the light and chased the rabbit in the direction where the rabbit was running, and Xiaoman followed suit.

Sure enough, the rabbit was very stupid. In order to be greedy for the light, it never ran out of the range illuminated by the light.Da Zhuang chased after him for a while, handed over the lamp to Xiao Man and continued to hold it, picked up stones and pulled the bow by himself, aiming!

The rabbit who ran wildly was unlucky this time, and did not escape Da Zhuang.Its short and thick left hind leg went limp immediately after hitting the stone, and its right hind leg still ran forward uncontrollably, its body lost its balance, hit a tree suddenly, and passed out.

Da Zhuang picked up the stunned rabbit, tied it with hemp rope, and said, "Today's dishes are all ready. If we catch more on the way, we can still sell them in the market."

Xiaoman was a little unconvinced, and said: "Your slingshot is obviously not easy to use, so how can you do it with it?"

Da Zhuang smiled and said: "You may not be used to it. Generally speaking, the slingshot made of bamboo is easy to use, and the aim is good, but the strength is small. It can hit field mice and squirrels, but not hares. Mine is made of the trunk of a mulberry tree. If you are too big, your accuracy will be poor, you just need to practice more and master the skills.”

Xiao Man hurriedly said: "Okay, you teach me, next time I will hunt a hare as big as you."

"Okay." Da Zhuang said: "However, we have a lot of things to do today, so don't be in a hurry. Let's go to the hot spring first."

When we got near the crescent-shaped hot spring that Dr. Liu mentioned, Xiaoman felt that even if the old thing was a lie, the trip would be worthwhile.The scenery is so beautiful.

Under the moonlight, the water is steaming, the mist is diffuse, and the unique sulfur smell of hot spring water wafts in the air.

Xiaoman couldn't help admiring sincerely: "Wow, this place is really good. But, I don't understand, why don't tourists come to such a good hot spring resource?"

Da Zhuang said: "It's not a big deal. The hot springs in Daji Mountain, more than 100 miles away from our village, are the best. There is one in three or five steps, but no one goes there. There are many mountains nearby, the roads are bad, and the cars If you can’t drive in, where are the tourists coming from?”

Xiaoman shook his head and said, "It means that the development and utilization of your place is really insufficient! But that's okay, if the development is good, we won't be able to soak in such an authentic and pure natural hot spring today!"

Da Zhuang smiled and said, "That's right." He thought, if there were tourists, wouldn't Xiaoman and I's trip to plant seeds tonight be in vain?Bah, bah, crow's mouth, who said it's going to be a mess!

Da Zhuang didn't expect that he accidentally bumped into a homonym, he was a little discouraged at once, and then he thought again, so what if it was ruined?It's not bad to be able to have sex with your wife in the hot spring water, hehehe, this is what people in the city call "romantic"! .

Da Zhuang asked Xiao Man to soak in water for a while, and said that he had to clean up the chickens and rabbits and make a fire to make preparations, which could not be done within an hour.

Xiaoman refused, saying: "If I soak for an hour alone, I won't want to soak when you come again. Besides, although this hot spring water is good, it won't work if you soak for a long time. It has medicinal ingredients."

Da Zhuang thought it made sense, so he asked Xiaoman to help him pick up some dry branches and help him light the fire. He himself quickly killed the rabbit, skinned it quickly, and used the coarse salt, cumin powder and soybeans he brought Spread a layer of sauce on the rabbit, put it aside to marinate it to taste, and then come over to help Xiaoman light the fire.

After the fire was built, Da Zhuang poured the rice grains he had brought into a small pot and hung it on the fire to cook porridge, and then came to clean up the chicken.

Xiao Man looked at him curiously, and said, "Why doesn't the chicken pluck its hair?"

Da Zhuang glanced at Xiao Man and said, "Don't you want to eat beggar's chicken? But, you can't eat it right now, you can't eat it until tomorrow morning."

"Ah? Why?" Xiaoman was a little disappointed.

Da Zhuang said: "The rabbit is so fat, neither of us can finish it, and the chicken will be saved for tomorrow morning. Moreover, the method of making the rabbit is different from that of the chicken. The rabbit is roasted on an open fire, and it will be cooked in more than an hour." It's so good. The chicken is simmered in the fire for a long time, and it will take a night to be ready."

Forget it, Xiao Man watched Da Zhuang cut open the chicken belly, tore away a pack of bloody viscera and threw it away, then mixed the mushrooms he picked earlier with the minced pork he had fried at home, and stuffed them in The inside of the cleaned chicken belly was wrapped in newspaper, and then a few lumps of mud were dug around to paste it. It looked so serious, and I couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
