Bianshanhan [farming]

Li Qingwen looked forward to it for several days, and finally waited for the hunting return. He heard that he had encountered a black bear and was terrified, but he saw Jiang Liping and the others coming back with their hands on their buttocks.

Li Qingwen grabbed Jiang Liping and asked, "Where's Brother Jiang?"

"He was kept by Mr. Zhou." Jiang Liping said: "It's okay, I'll be back later."

Someone came back and couldn't wait to go to the kang, and his buttocks were so painful that he had just been spanked, and cursed: "That surnamed Zhou is really a smiley tiger, he speaks nicely, and he didn't show mercy at all when he spanked..."

Before the man finished complaining, Jiang Liping went up and kicked his ass, cursing: "I don't know good and bad things, Mr. Zhou did this to protect us!"

Being exiled, there is no freedom anymore, non-slaves, but their status is lower than that of ordinary people. In this barren and savage land, even being bullied by soldiers has nowhere to turn for help. People like Lu Gang are considered unlucky for them.

Zhou Fengnian's status is different from that of a convict. He took the initiative to mention Old General Qu, and his words were meant to be caring. Those soldiers should not dare to bully them casually in the future, and the situation will undoubtedly improve.

Hearing what happened just now, Li Qingrui secretly heaved a sigh of relief. All along, he was not worried about the bitter cold and hardship in the border town, but was most worried about whether the exiles would be bullied. What Lu Gang and the soldiers did before really made him feel uncomfortable. I sweated a lot.

While talking, someone came back after catching a few fish, Ma Yongjiang pouted and said, "They were all whipped, and they still caught fish."

"Just let us share the rations. It's good to eat half full. If you don't eat fish, you have to drink the northwest wind!" The fisherman said angrily.

Li Qingwen was not in the mood to listen to what they said, so he trotted all the way to the barracks, looking at the rows of small houses that were smoking, not knowing where Master Zhou was.

I don't know how long after my body was frozen, I finally saw a familiar figure.

Li Qingwen trotted to meet him, "Brother Jiang!"

Jiang Cong stepped forward quickly, grabbed Li Qingwen's cold hand, stuffed it into his sleeve, and pulled him back.

Although this hunting trip was frightening, it was also a blessing in disguise. The life and death of that dog official Lu Gang was unknown, and he got Zhou Fengnian's words.

Everyone was very happy, took off their shirts in the hot room, and prepared to eat and sleep well.

The fires in the stoves of the three houses were roaring loudly. One big pot was cooking rice, another big pot was stewing fish, and another big pot was rolling fish slices. Li Qingwen was cutting pickled radish sticks and adding them to the fish slices. There was a few days of silence The house is bustling again.

Someone asked Jiang Cong what Zhou Fengnian left him to say, and Jiang Cong replied: "He wants a good fox fur, so he sent me some snacks."

"Ah, I just came back and have to go out again. Isn't this cold day terrible!" Someone muttered in dissatisfaction.

Jiang Cong said: "I want to go hunting. Mr. Zhou mentioned this, and he didn't force it. It's good if you have it, or if you don't, it doesn't matter this year or next year."

When he said that, Jiang Liping had thought about it a little bit, and the so-called fox fur might just be an excuse to let them go hunting.

Wanting to understand this, he said, "I'll be with you and bring more brothers."

Li Qingwen also said loudly outside: "I'm going too!"

Soon, the meal was ready, hot sorghum rice, salty stewed fish and fish slices in sour soup, and a plate of shredded pickles were served. Everyone stopped talking and started eating with their arms loose.

The room is hot, the food is fragrant, and I ate two days' rations in one meal.

Everyone else was sleeping on the kang, Jiang Liping only felt a pain in his forehead, these guys really could eat, if they didn't hunt for food, they wouldn't be able to survive the spring.

Hearing that he was going to go hunting, Li Qingzhuo put down his medical books and wanted to go too.

The people who had been taken care of by Li Qingzhuo along the way naturally welcomed them warmly, and with a person who knows medical skills following them, they were not afraid of accidents in the wild.

If he and Li Qingwen wanted to do this, Li Qingrui and Li Maoqun naturally couldn't stay here.

They didn't just go to protect Li Qingwen and Li Qingzhuo, they also wanted to get some prey or something, so they didn't come back empty-handed after running so far.

Since Li Maoqun was sensible, his pockets are cleaner than his face, and he wants to make money more than anyone else.

Li Qingrui spent almost all of his family's money on this trip. The so-called "rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and rely on the water to eat the water", if you go to this place where wild beasts are rampant, you should have a gamble.

Leaving some people to work here, Jiang Liping ordered some good hands. This time they will go farther, so they need to be prepared.

Needless to say, luggage and food, axes, shovels, and other tools were also indispensable. Finally, after packing up a lot, I began to worry about how to get them.

Looking at the knee-less snow outside, Li Qingwen had an idea and proposed to build a sledge.

No one except him had heard of this thing, Li Qingwen even gestured and said, the others finally understood, and felt that if it was what he said, it was indeed a good thing for walking on snow.

Wood was needed to make sledges, and Lao Xingtou secretly took out two pieces from the cowshed, and repeatedly told them not to tell the truth, or he would be punished.

The sledge is actually not difficult. If you can’t make complicated bends, just make a simpler one. Plane the wood at the bottom smooth, and it will also go briskly.

After sawing and planing, it took more than a day to make a wooden sledge that is as long as one person. It looks a bit crude when placed on the snow.

Jiang Liping sat down on the sledge and instructed Ma Yongjiang, "You try to pull it up ahead."

Ma Yongjiang rolled his eyes and let out a breath of white air, "Why don't you go down and pull?"

Jiang Liping didn't move his buttocks, "As long as you have the guts to break it at the touch of a touch, you will be in the nest."

Ma Yongjiang was so angry that he grabbed the rope in front of him and tried hard. The sledge was pulled, leaving two clear marks on the ground.

Seeing that it was going so smoothly, everyone clapped their hands and applauded. This thing is much lighter than the cart they pulled when they came.

Jiang Liping couldn't sit comfortably, and yelled to hurry up, Ma Yongjiang pulled him to a slope, stopped panting, turned to the back, and pushed the sledge down hard.

The sledge slid down with people "huh", and Jiang Liping's happy shout soon came.

Li Qingwen watched from the side, thinking that the new way of playing was discovered so quickly...

When the sledge was ready, he was about to leave. He told the soldiers that he was going to beat the fox fur for Mr. Zhou, and the soldiers who had been staring at the sledge let it go without saying a word.

It is really convenient to have the banner of Zhou Fengnian.

The mule pulled the sledge, and a group of people walked on both sides, and they went out to hunt together. This time, the mood was very different from the previous few days.

Lao Sun yelled a song he couldn't understand. Jiang Cong said it was a folk song from their hometown. Although he couldn't understand it, it didn't affect everyone's happy mood.

A good mood will also affect luck. At noon, I walked to a small hill and saw clusters of brightly colored "flowers" blooming on the snow. Just when everyone was wondering, someone grabbed a snowball and threw it over.

I saw the "flower" trembling, it turned out to be the butt of a wild pheasant.

Now everyone didn't have to draw their bows. The previous person took a sack and threw it on the buttocks of the chicken, and he jumped on it and caught him.

It was the first time that he caught the pheasant so easily, Li Maoqun couldn't believe it. As soon as he loosened his hand, he was pecked by the pheasant fiercely. Even though he was wearing thick clothes, he felt quite painful.

The pheasant whose neck was broken quickly lay on the sledge safely.

They came out with more than 30 people this time, but they didn't dare to worry about it. They still walked in the direction of the last hunting. On the way, they saw a group of goats' hoof prints. The hoof prints were clear. There was almost no snow on them. Immediately follow the traces to catch up.

When it was getting dark, I finally saw a herd of wild goats grazing grass on a sunny slope with thin snow.

Not daring to make any noise, Jiang Liping and the others quietly loaded their bows and arrows.

After all, they were not serious hunters, and they couldn't hide their breath well. The wild goats that were grazing looked around vigilantly, and then ran away with their hooves.

Everyone immediately shot arrows, and dozens of arrows went straight to the sheep.

This thing ran too fast, the raised snow blocked the view, and most of the arrows shot fell on the snow, only one arrow pierced through the wind and snow, and pierced straight into the sheep's neck.

In the blink of an eye, all the other wild goats disappeared, leaving only one dead one lying on the ground.

Someone was running to carry the prey, Jiang Liping patted Jiang Cong on the shoulder, just about to praise him, when he saw the broken bow in his hand, he couldn't help grinning, well, another one was broken.

Today's luck was good, but the big guys didn't dare to relax a bit, so they immediately turned around and walked to the place where they used to spend the night before stopping.

This time, I don’t have to feel wronged like last time. I shoveled the snow off the ground, propped up a tent with coarse cloth, and lit a fire to cook soup inside. Although it was not as good as a hut with a fire wall and a kang, it would not feel cold either.

Jiang Liping and the others had been soldiers for many years, and the tent was set up quickly and steadily. Li Qingwen was dazzled by watching.

Jiang Cong squatted outside unloading the mutton, and Li Qingwen picked up chicken feathers beside him. This thing is very beautiful, and the fluff keeps warm. It would be good to gather it up and make a cushion.

After picking up the chicken feathers, Li Qingwen quickly walked back.

Seeing him bent over eagerly, Jiang Liping and the others laughed and said, "Be careful that your life will freeze!"

Li Qingwen blushed and walked faster.

It was pitch black outside, and Li Qingwen didn't dare to go too far, so he solved it quickly against the wind, and immediately lifted his pants.

After all, he wasn't used to being like this outside, he felt uncomfortable, his movements were a little flustered, he slipped when he turned around, and sat down on his buttocks.

At first, I thought it would be okay for Xuehou to drop his buttocks, but who would have thought that there was a tree branch in the snow, and Li Qingwen screamed "Oh".

The people in the tent were startled, thinking they had encountered some kind of beast, they all ran out with their weapons in their hands. Jiang Cong was at the front, grabbed Li Qingwen and dragged him behind him.

After hearing Li Qingwen's accusation, the people who came after him laughed unkindly.

Li Qingwen's face was really red this time, and he covered his buttocks to find the culprit, and he must be burned to ashes with his own hands.

When he got the tent and wanted to throw it into the fire, he was stopped by Li Qingzhuo, "Boy, show me."

Li Qingwen handed it over angrily.

"It's not a tree branch, it's deer antler, with frozen blood clots on it, it should have fallen from a deer fight..." Li Qingzhuo said after scrutinizing it.

Li Qingwen's butt stopped hurting immediately.
