NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1124 Pen Peak 2
When going up the mountain, I wasted a lot of time because I had to clear the way.
It took the two of them two hours to get halfway up the mountain.
When going down the mountain, the father and son returned the same way, which was a lot easier.
Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing carried the prey back to the place where the cattle cart was herded. It was lunch time.
Tang Xiaojing raised his head and looked at the sun in the sky, "Dad, it's still early now. I'll send the wild goat and rabbit to the county to sell them first, and keep the two pheasants for my own consumption."
Rabbits and wild goats are hunted with bows and arrows. The fur on them is damaged and cannot be used to make leather, so they can only be sold directly to restaurants.
Tangshan nodded, "If this wild goat won't be fresh tomorrow, you can drive the ox cart to the county and sell it. I'll go back and process the medicinal herbs I found today."
Tang Xiaojing drove the bullock cart to send Tangshan home first.
At this time in the Tang family, Ye Qingqing was playing with Chenchen and Yangyang on the swings in the yard.
Chenchen sat on the small swing by himself, and there was a rhubarb next to him that pounced on him from time to time.
Dahuang first licked Chenchen's white and tender face. The little guy was ticklish and hid on the swing and kept twisting.
The lively Dahuang thought the little master was playing with him, so he jumped on him excitedly, and the swing immediately started to swing high.
"Hahaha, so high, let's fly~"
Ye Qingqing, on the other hand, was holding Yang Yang and sitting on the big swing next to him. His toes lightly touched the ground, and the swing immediately began to sway in a small area.
"Ah, Feifei... Gao Gao..."
Yangyang danced with joy in Ye Qingqing's arms, and the yard was filled with the laughter of mother and son.
Ye Qingqing was having fun with the two little guys, and was quite surprised to see the father and son back at this time.
"You came back so early today. I thought you were going to stay until the afternoon. Have you had lunch? There are still some leftover meals in the kitchen."
"No need to work, dad and I have already eaten pancakes just now." After saying this, Tang Xiaojing kissed each of his two sons' little faces.
Then he glanced at Ye Qingqing, who was smiling like a flower, and felt that his father was really an eyesore.
Tangshan took out the herbs he collected in the morning, "There are quite a lot of pheasants and rabbits on this pole peak. I hunted several of them in a short time, and there was also a wild goat."
"But I haven't been to this mountain peak for many years. I don't know if there are big guys like wild boars and wolves on the mountain now, so I want to come back soon."
Tang Xiaojing handed two dead pheasants to Ye Qingqing.
"I will take the two rabbits and the wild goat to the county to sell them later. I will keep the remaining two pheasants at home to eat."
"Okay, I'll make chicken soup later."
Ye Qingqing didn't expect that there were so many little guys on this pole peak.
When she went there before, she only remembered a lot of big rocks there, but she didn't seem to see any pheasants or hares. Could it be that they only appeared in recent years?
Tang Xiaojing drank a large bowl of honey water and hurried back to the county.
Autumn has entered recently, which is a good time to take supplements. The price of wild goats has also increased a bit.
For 38 cents per pound, the Liang Family Restaurant took away the entire wild goat.
This wild goat was quite fat, weighing 42 kilograms in total, and was sold for 1596 Wen.
After selling the two hares, he got another 168 cents.
Today I received another 1764 Wen.
Although no wild ginseng was found, the harvest was pretty good, enough to cover the family’s expenses for a month.
The harvest was good yesterday. Early this morning, the father and son came to Bigan Peak again.
Because this mountain is relatively remote, there are almost no people who usually come here.
Before anyone discovers the good things about this mountain, the father and son plan to come back a few more times. When other hunters in the village discover these little guys, they may not necessarily belong to them.
Following the path they had trampled yesterday, the two quickly arrived at the foot of Bigan Peak.
There is a large circle of rocks at the foot of the mountain. Nothing can grow on them and they look bare.
It is precisely because of this that no one in the village knows that there are quite a few pheasants and hares about a quarter of an hour up the mountain.
But this is a good thing for the father and son. This time when they went up the mountain, the father and son specially brought two more sacks.
From the foot of the mountain to halfway up the mountain, the two of them plus two dogs easily hunted three hares and two pheasants.
The father and son came to the creek where they hunted wild goats yesterday, but unfortunately there was no little guy nearby to drink water.
The two of them walked along the stream, wondering if they could encounter any small animals that came to drink water.
However, today's luck was not as good as yesterday. After walking several hundred meters, the two of them only encountered a fat rabbit eating grass.
But the little guy was very alert and had already disappeared without a trace before the two of them got close.
Looking at the rabbit that had disappeared, Tang Xiaojing looked disappointed:
"There are usually a lot of small animals near streams, so let's just follow the stream."
"Okay, the most important thing in the wild is water. If you follow the direction of the stream, you will not only not be afraid of going hungry or thirsty, but you will also generally not get lost."
"If you get lost in the wilderness, the first thing you need to do is find a source of water." Tangshan took the opportunity to teach his son how to survive in the wild.
The circle of rocks at the foot of the mountain is basically covered with lush weeds up to the halfway up the mountain, but from the halfway up, there are huge rocks everywhere.
Some of these stones are like round rice balls, some are like majestic wolves, and some are like honest and honest big fat pigs.
There are a lot of rocks here, but there are not many pheasants and hares around, so the surroundings are quiet.
At this time, the two of them encountered a large rock that was taller than a person.
Tang Xiaojing was pleasantly surprised to find a good-year Polygonatum japonica on the edge of the stone.
Tang Xiaojing took a hoe and quickly dug out a large piece of ginger-like stuff.
"Not bad, this Polygonatum japonica is at least 10 years old."
At this time, not far away in Tangshan, a small dendrobium was also found in a rock crevice.
But the dendrobium was thin and small, and the leaves were a little yellow.
Tangshan grabbed the dendrobium and pulled it out easily.
Only then did he notice that the roots of the dendrobium tree had been half eaten by insects. No wonder it looked half-dead.
The further you go up, the steeper the path becomes. If you step on small stones, you will easily slip down.
Tang Xiaojing felt that his knees and thighs were extremely sore.
As for Heidou and Xiaohua, they ran off to play somewhere and were covered in cockleburs.
The two big guys, already breathing heavily at this time, followed Tang Xiaojing listlessly.
Tangshan, who was leading the way, sat down on a big rock.
"Let's take a rest first, Heidou and Xiaohua are very tired."
"Dad, why don't you care about me?" Tang Xiaojing's tone was a little sour.
Tangshan rolled his eyes at him, "Pretentious."
Tang Xiaojing: "..."
Alas, even if his status in the family is not as good as that of the two brats, now he is not even as good as the dog at home.
