The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

Chapter 432 Calf (two chapters in one)

"Mother, you can keep the bank notes for me. I will ask Uncle Luo to help He Zhongren to send a message tomorrow, just say that the shop, we have made a reservation. Although we know that it is Xue Zongqi's property, what is the trouble?" I've been hired several times, and it's not easy to pass him, so let him earn the middleman fee, hehe!" Yan Yu's smile didn't stop when he called back.

Seeing her like this, Li Xuemei was also happy in her heart, and said with a smile: "I can buy a shop, it's your wish."

"There are all of them. I am happy that the ginseng is sold at a high price, and I am also happy that the shop can finally be bought." Yan Yu smiled: "I know that ginseng is sold because of the honor of the eldest brother, and the concubine said It’s less. In fact, in Guanzhou, the price is at its peak. No matter whether they know that buying ginseng in the south is different from that in the north, I have to say those things. It’s not you to take advantage of others quietly. Girlfriend style."

Li Xuemei nodded with a smile.

Her daughter is like this, she has a book in her heart, and she makes money transparently and innocently.

"Maybe Eldest Brother Shizi went back and told her about the box, or maybe he just wanted to take care of the family that Eldest Brother Shizi made friends with." After Yan Yu calmed down, she gradually figured it out. "In short, we felt her kindness and accepted it. Hee hee, mother, the most important thing is that we have a house in Fucheng!"

"The yard of that shop is really big. Plan it carefully. There is a business stall in the front and back, separated by a wall in the middle. The side next to the bamboo stove is clean. Our family will live here. Count the days, my mother should be next year. I have inquired about giving birth around February, and good women have to ventilate in advance to set a date, but when it comes to our rural areas, people are not very happy to come, so we might as well move to Fucheng after the New Year..." Yan Yu obviously thought about it for a long time, and said clearly.

Li Xuemei touched her belly, as if responding to her, a bulging ball touched her palm.

"Sanya, then let's go to your sister Erya's house to live for a while."

Yan Yu: ...

"Mother, what are you talking about." She muttered.

Nothing, I just want to make myself happy.

Li Xuemei gradually stopped laughing, and asked with concern: "Is everything ready? I don't know if I will be walking in the mountains for a few days. Bring more food. Don't be reluctant to take more of those spirit snake meat."

She thought for a while, bit her lips and said, "Why don't you take our iron crossbow..."

Yan Yu took her hand and shook it lightly: "You don't need it, an ordinary bamboo crossbow is enough, you don't need to worry about the strength of your daughter and the speed of the donkey and the three treasures.

I said it was to feel the situation, and there would be no danger. "

...

Yan Yu did prepare a lot of food.

For herself, she also considered Uncle Qi's appetite.

There is definitely no shortage of wild animals in the mountains, but the purpose of their trip is not to go hunting in the mountains, but to go over the mountains to Beirong, so try not to waste time on the road.

The reason why she couldn't wait another day was that she found that the snow on the ground had shown signs of being civilized. Thinking about it in another way, after days of heavy snow, it finally cleared up. Will Beirong graze cattle and sheep to find food?

Yan Yu thought, probably yes.

"Uncle Qi, stop and eat something." Yan Yu shouted.

Qi Si responded, getting off the cow, the first thing he did was not to eat by himself, but to find some fodder nearby, and feed the three treasures first...

Sanbao ate some to save face, and then walked around by himself wagging his tail, picking out pieces of green grass that remained in the mountains and eating pieces here and there.

The donkey also followed suit, wandering around and nibbling on the nearby greenery.

Yan Yu really...

One hundred secrets and one sparse.

She only brought food for people, but she forgot that the three treasures also need to eat.

Fortunately, Fourth Uncle Qi didn’t think about this, he thought it was enough for them to eat what they had, but he couldn’t tell how much they ate, whether the grass was eaten by cows and donkeys, whether the frequency of pulling was right, etc...

Yan Yu secretly ordered the poop to fall freely.

Some eat and some pull.

Thinking about it, in Uncle Qi's eyes, it was very realistic.

He scrambled out, and after a while, he turned back with brisk steps, with a rabbit in his mouth.

Qi Si laughed out loud and picked up happily.

Set up a fire, fill the pot with snow, the snow turns into water, and while it is hot, it is used to clean the peeled rabbit meat, and it is almost washed, and then it is roasted on the fire.

Yan Yu rubbed the rabbit skin with snow to remove as much blood as possible, then stretched the skin with branches, baked it by the fire, and put it away when it felt warm and dry before putting it away.

Pour the clean water brought by the two into the pot, wait for the water to boil, throw some dried vegetables down, the leaves of the vegetables will stretch slowly, and become soft due to the absorption of water, and put the frozen snake meat into the pot as long as A pinch of salt becomes an irresistible delicacy.

They brought a lot of dry food, tore it up and dipped it in the soup, and the two of them ate happily.

After taking a sip of hot soup, my whole body warmed up.

After the two people filled their stomachs with broth and dry food for five or six minutes, the rabbit was roasted, and the two of them and the dog started to eat.

Qi Si ate the most, followed by Yan Yu, and Gou Zi was at the bottom.

After the meal was over, Qi Si and Yan Yu tidied up neatly. They smoothed the place where the fire was lit with the remaining snow around them. They didn't even need to wash the pot. If there was anything dirty about the broth they drank, they just put it away and finished.

They have been walking in the mountains for two days.

During the day, the two took turns to sit and watch, and at night when they were resting, they took turns to watch the night.

One big and one small are all physically strong, and there are cows and donkeys for transportation. This kind of hard work is really nothing.

At noon on the third day, they finally walked out of the mountain.

The vast grassland was in front of them.

The white snow melted, revealing large expanses of blue and yellow.

...

"There are so many cattle and sheep!" Qi Si said roughly, his eyes shining.

At this time, Qi Si and Yan Yu had been searching on the grassland for two days, Huang Tian paid off, and they finally found them!

According to Yan Yu's speculation, they should now be in the middle zone between Huju and Longxing, with the mountains as the vertical axis, and the horizontal depth is probably more than a hundred miles deep.

The two were lying on the ground, using the bulge of the soil to cover their figures.

Gou Zhu also obediently put his head on the ground, wagging his tail regularly.

Sanbao and the donkey were left behind a pile of stones so as not to show their whereabouts.

Yan Yu counted back and forth several times.

I didn't even count how many cattle and sheep there were.

Anyway, enough, enough!

Sheep are sheep, with gray curly hair, like moving ash balls, grazing leisurely.

The cows are very different from those in Guannei. Most of them are reddish in color. The bulls look tall and tall, the cows have short legs, and there are some variegated ones with white, black and white flowers on their bodies, and all black...

Yan Yu couldn't help swallowing, no matter what kind of flowers, the meat is the same.

"There are not many people grazing, Fourth Uncle Qi, great opportunity!" Yan Yu said.

Qi Si clenched the stick tightly in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Er, if you say you want to attack us, then we will."

Yan Yu: "There are too many cattle and sheep, we can't take that many away. If we rush directly, we are afraid that they will have a long memory in the future. Be wary of us. I think it is best to steal a few without anyone noticing. Walk."

She thought about not being able to startle the snake, so many cattle and sheep, if you lose a few of them, they might not even count them.

But if it is exposed, it will not be so convenient to come back in the future.

"Then what should we do?" Qi Si asked.

Yan Yu stared at the cattle and sheep, and slowly said: "Start at them first, and see where they return at night."

First determine Beirong's camp before thinking about it.

...

If the night on the grassland is summer, it is probably beautiful, and you should be able to see the twinkling stars in the sky when you look up.

But at this moment, Yan Yu is not beautiful at all.

Snowing!

The wind was not too weak, it was blowing whirringly, and it smeared her face every now and then.

Fortunately, it was cold, and people in Xiao'an Village were used to wearing masks. Both Yan Yu and Qi Si wore masks, only their eyes were exposed.

Despite the wind and snow blowing, the two cats remained motionless behind the stone.

The body is cold, but the heart is hot.

This is a gathering place of Bei Rong, so close to the enemy, Yan Yu feels his adrenaline is soaring crazily, really, so exciting!

They followed all the way, not daring to get too close when the sky was still bright, and approached carefully at night.

Therefore, we can only judge how many Beirong there are by tents.

There are more than a dozen tents, large and small.

If it is calculated based on ten people per tent, there should be hundreds of Beirong here.

But Yan Yu felt that there must not be so many in reality.

How to steal cattle and sheep without anyone noticing is really a headache.

In such a snowy day, Bei Rong only left a few people outside to guard, and the others went back to the tent early.

Yan Yu originally wanted to observe for a day or two, and find the best time to strike.

But tonight's snowstorm is really a godsend opportunity.

Don't move at this time, God really came to clean up the traces for them.

"Uncle Qi." Yan Yu's voice was muffled through the mask.

Qi Si moved, and a few wisps of snow fell from his hat.

"You wait here, I'll touch over and have a look." She knew that Uncle Qi would definitely not agree, so she said again: "Uncle Qi, listen to me, I am small and inconspicuous, Gou Zhu will go with me, don't you The movement is right here, if I am discovered, I will run back, Fourth Uncle Qi, you are ready to meet me at any time."

Qi Si gave a muffled hum.

The two had fought side by side, and he believed in Xiao Er.

There is a raised earth bag behind the two people, where the three treasures and the donkey are hidden.

Gou lived in the front and led the way, and Yan Yu followed it to hide in Tibet, moving forward constantly through stones, dirt bumps, depressions....

Finally walking outside the fence, Yan Yu heaved a sigh of relief.

Covered by the body of the herd of cattle, Yan Yu took note of everything she saw.

The two Bei Rong guards were muttering something, and then one of them went back to the tent and didn't come out for a long time.

The remaining one seemed to be bored, so he took two sips from the water bag on his waist, and heard the hissing sound, most likely it was wine?

The fence surrounding the cattle was inserted from the inside, and Yan Yu gave orders to Gou Zhu in a low voice.

Gou Zhu crawled in through the gap under the fence.

Yan Yu held her breath, for fear that the herd of cows would make a disturbance.

Fortunately, everything is calm, and the herd is almost unresponsive.

Gou Zhu stood upright, bit the wooden stake, and shook his head decisively.

The angle was very suitable, the wooden stick was bitten off almost instantly, the sound was barely audible, under the cover of the wind and snow, everything was silent.

She opened the door in no hurry.

Instead, like a hunter, waiting patiently.

The Bei Rong who was guarding here finally couldn't stand it any longer.

Yawned, took another sip of wine, swayed slightly and walked towards the tent, repeating a few syllables briefly in his mouth, Yan Yu quickly judged that this was probably a name.

He is yelling.

It should be a shift change!

Yan Yu clenched her fists, waiting for the moment when he walked into the tent.

Open the felt curtain...

It's now!

Yan Yu decisively pushed open the fence gate, rushed in, dragged the nearest calf and ran away.

She pinched the calf's mouth, no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't break free.

What a joke, she can't handle an adult cow, but she can't handle a calf?

The calf was snatched from the cow, and she stood up suddenly, howling and chasing after her, and the lying cow stood up in a large area.

"Hold on, close the door." Yan Yu heard the movement behind, and gave orders while running.

Hurry up, she's almost there.

Just for a while.

Behind him came the sound of a cow crashing against a fence.

pretty!

Yan Yu praised in her heart!

Panting finally ran back, hiding behind the dirt bag, Yan Yu immediately handed the calf to Fourth Uncle Qi, who tied it neatly with hemp rope, not forgetting to wrap its mouth around it as well.

Many Bei Rong came out to check.

The gate of the fence is well inserted.

But the messy appearance of the herd is very unusual.

They vigilantly held the bows and crossbows in their hands, and several of them lit torches and began to count the cattle and sheep.

One less calf!

By the time they found out that a calf was missing, the wind and snow had already obliterated the footprints outside the fence.

Someone found the shallow footprints of Gouzhuo in the fence.

"It's a wolf!"

"Damn it, who is watching the night, can't they hear the wolf howling?"

"It's too windy, you may not be able to hear clearly."

"Look at that! What a wolf!"

"If there are a few more people to guard, the wolves may come again..."

...

Gou Zhu plugged the door and ran away immediately.

It lurks in the flock.

No one paid attention to the bleating of the sheep.

After Bei Rong finished checking the cattle, he came to check the sheep again. It took the opportunity to slip back and got out from under the cattle fence.

This is the story of the wolf footprints discovered by Beirong.

Then it was also the one who was called out to be a wolf. Its vigorous figure was extremely hazy under the snowstorm tonight, and Beirong's preconceived ideas allowed them to just muddle through.

Yan Yu's whole body was tense, and she was ready to run for her life.

The action just now, even though it was a temporary idea, has passed through her mind several times.

The worst result is to be found by Bei Rong.

She asked herself if she could bear such a result.

The answer is yes.

It's a big deal to run away, not to mention such a windy and snowy day, even if there is no wind or snow, how can Bei Rong catch up with her.

But fortunately, these Beirong didn't mean to delve into it.

In their view, being attacked by wolves at night is a common occurrence, the only difference is whether they let the wolves succeed.

Obviously tonight was unlucky, and a calf was taken away.

Slowly over time.

A lot of torches on Beirong's side were extinguished, and only two remained.

If the vision is blocked, no matter how hard you see it, the other party will also be unable to see them clearly.

Gou Zhuzao sneaked back and clung to Yan Yu's side, secretly transferring heat.

Yan Yu's heart, which had been raised all the time, slowly fell back.

"Uncle Qi, let's go." Yan Yushen led the donkey one foot at a time, and looked back as he walked, making sure that the dirt behind him could cover them for a little longer.

Qi Si was holding the calf with one arm, and holding the rein of San Bao with the other hand, following Xiao Er's footsteps...

This chapter has been revised. The original version considered the fun, but it didn’t fit the reality. The geeks themselves were quite entangled, so someone suggested it, and I changed this version overnight~! The chapter name is wrong, quack~
