Men and women eating in the courtyard

Chapter 13 Who knows? Ask the village chief!

When he walked to the back room, his wife Lou Xiao'e was still sleeping soundly.

When these girls are married in by the dozen, they don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and they don't have to cook. The more they are raised, the richer they will be.

Lou Xiao'e, who has been pampered and raised, is now in her twenties, but her face is like that of an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl. She takes out a pocket of water and her face is even more rosy when she sleeps, like a child.

Perhaps it was because the room was getting hot, one of Lou Xiao'e's arms was stretched out from the quilt, revealing her pink lotus-rooted arm, and the sling of her bright red silk nightgown hung on her shoulder.

Xu Damao's family is in good condition. Although they don't have a kang like the Li family, they buy more coal in winter than other families, so they don't have to worry about burning it. The house is warm early in the morning.

Lou Xiao'e, the eldest daughter of a capitalist background, is both loved and feared by Xu Damao.

This petite and exquisite body is as prominent as it should be, and it should be tight and tight. It is definitely the best way to hang out. It is a pity that Xu Damao looks tall and strong, but he has a silver-like pewter spear head, which makes him unable to move up or down every time. Even if I take medicine secretly, I can't stand it!

When Li Xuewu got up in the morning to collect firewood, he found that there was no firewood in the firewood shed built with two doors.

He walked into the house and shouted to Liu Yin who was making breakfast: "Mom, the firewood is gone."

Liu Yin woke up in the morning and found that there was no firewood.

"There is a firewood seller on the street. Wait for a while and listen. If you hear shouting, go out quickly. A bundle of firewood costs five cents."

Li Xuewu knew that the bundle of firewood was not much thicker than Yu Li's waist and could be burned for several days.

"Come on, let's make do with the firewood in the shed at noon and night. After breakfast, hitch the carriage, take the guys with you, and I'll go to Changping."

Before Li Xuewu could finish speaking, Liu Yin said no.

"Why go so far? It's just a few bundles of firewood. There's no point in traveling so far. It's not like our family can't afford firewood."

Li Shun also disagreed, but said nothing.

Li Xuewu went to collect firewood on the one hand, but on the other hand he was hungry for meat and needed to get some game. He had to seize the opportunity before the protection law came out, and he also wanted to see if there were any channels.

"Then let Xuewen and Xuecai go with you."

What Liu Yin is afraid of is that Li Xuewu is in danger, and things are not peaceful now.

Before Li Xuewu could speak, Li Xuewen spoke first.

"I have to prepare lessons. I still need to use them on Monday. Besides, it's not like I can't afford firewood. I'll pay for it."

Liu Yin reprimanded: "You! Why haven't I seen you preparing for lessons? When you have time, you are sitting there holding a book. When something happens, you are busy."

Zhao Yafang also pinched Li Xuewen from behind, and Li Xuewen immediately stopped talking.

Li Xuecai saw that his elder brother was silent and moved closer to Li Shun.

"I have to prepare some medicinal ingredients with dad today."

Before Liu Yin could reprimand Li Xuecai, Li Xuewu put his arm around Liu Yin's shoulders.

"Mom, it's just a few steps away. It's just a cart. I'll take two more with me. I'm collecting firewood or going on an outing. That's it. I'll be back before dark."

"Where's Changping?"

Seeing that Li Xuewu was resolute, Liu Yin stopped trying to persuade him. She raised her hand and pinched Li Xuecai until he grinned.

Li Xuewu first served four Wotou and a bowl of porridge, took two Wotou, a piece of pickles, and a kettle of hot water, and then went out.

The eldest grandma had already hitched the carriage while Li Xuewu was eating. Li Xuewu went to the stable to put the saddle into the space, and then walked out of the gate.

The eldest grandma stood by the car, put the saw, axe, and hatchet on the car. She also picked up a spear and pinned it on the car. She also took a clay gun and handed it to Li Xuewu.

"Hold it, it's not safe on the mountain."

Li Xuewu rolled his eyes looking at Tuqiang.

This object is older than me. Should it protect me or should I protect the antique?

"Grandma, please don't cause trouble. There are so many dangers. I am the source of danger after entering the mountain."

Li Xuewu pushed the gun back, picked up the riding crop, put it on his shoulder, and led the horse out of the alley.

You don't dare to let the horse run wildly in the alley. If you are not careful, you might hit someone. When you get out of the street, Li Xuewu jumped on the carriage, whipped up his whip and whistled, and the big green horse started running happily.

Nowadays, there are not many cars on the road. Most of them are horse-drawn carriages, ox-carts, and donkey carts. You can follow the straight road out of the city.

Leaning on the car and watching the old city passing by, the cold wind in front of me became fresher and my mood improved. No wonder Shen Congwen said that the people in the city wanted to come out.

It was more than half an hour after I left the city and reached the outskirts of the city. I turned onto a small road where no one could be seen.

Li Xuewu then stopped the car, got out of the car, unloaded the carriage, and put it all into the space. The space on his finger was discovered after waking up in the hospital. The space was not big. It was about the size of a medium-sized warehouse in later generations. What other functions are there, it is just a large freezer and a static space.

After collecting the cart, he took out the saddle, tied the horse to a tree, and quickly put the saddle on the horse. Grandpa's saddle was just ordinary, with a sheepskin base and a wooden frame. The traditional saddle was better than the cowhide used by later generations for riding horses. The preparation is a lot different, but don’t delay using it.

He put on the saddle, took off the rope, carried the red tassel and tied the gun, and stepped on the horse's trap.

The air at this height is different!

"Wuhu! Drive!"

The big green horse can finally run freely without the constraints of the frame.

Li Xuewu was riding on his horse, and the cold wind made his face freeze. Thanks to the wind-resistant military coat, his calves were not cold even when his knees were cold.

From a distance, he really looks like a little general.

If you look closely, this kid's nose has snot coming out from the cold, he looks like a third grandson.

After leaving the city, I ran five kilometers, took a break, walked for a while, rested eight or nine times, and finally entered the mountain.

At this time, the mountains had not yet been developed. Unlike various scenic spots in later generations, they were now in the wilderness. There were no major roads going up the mountain, only trails.

Li Xuewu rode a horse and carried a spear on his back, like a bearded man, and entered the mountainous area. The paths were difficult to walk, so he asked for directions when he saw people.

"Excuse me, where do the wild boars live in the mountains?"

The villagers on the road looked at him like a fool and ignored him.

When the fourth person was asked, someone finally answered.

Li Xuewu still said indifferently: "Excuse me, where do the wild boars live in the mountains?"

A fat little black man with a shaved head, carrying a pole and a dung basket, replied with his head held high: "Who knows? Ask the village chief!"

Li Xuewu gave himself a big slap.

But don’t you just have to ask the village chief? The village chief is the information collection center.

Li Xuewu got off his horse and walked into the village and asked about the village chief's home. When he arrived, the village chief was taking everyone's basal fertilizer.

Ouch, that smell!

Li Xuewu handed over a cigarette and asked if there were wild boars nearby and wanted to get some meat.

"The wild boar is very ferocious. Don't act recklessly. It's even more ferocious than a tiger. We don't even dare to go into the mountains to call in the disaster years. You want to get meat all by yourself?"

Li Xuewu didn't talk back.

"Village Chief, isn't my family hungry and anxious? There is really nothing we can do."

The village chief took a puff of cigarette and said: "There are wild boars in the mountains. They come down every spring and damage the crops. You can only get them by setting off a trap. But at this time, I have lost 40% of my 100% strength to go up the mountain."

Seeing Li Xuewu's firm attitude, the village chief stopped trying to persuade him and pointed to the mountains in the distance.

"Going up the hillside, entering the forest and walking along the forestry road, I saw the mountain col turning in. There should be some water inside, maybe it's flooded."
