Chapter 13: Who knows that, ask the village chief!
Walking into the inner room, his wife Lou Xiaoe was still sleeping soundly.
This woman, ever since she married in, didn't worry about food and drink, didn't have to cook, and became more and more plump.
Lou Xiaoe, who was pampered since she was a child, was in her twenties, but her face was still like an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, and she could squeeze water out with a pinch. When she slept, her face was even red, like a child.
Perhaps the room was hot, Lou Xiaoe stretched an arm out of the cotton quilt, revealing a pink and tender lotus arm, and the shoulder strap of the bright red silk nightdress was still hanging on her shoulder.
Xu Damao's family conditions were good. Although they didn't build a kang like the Li family, they bought more coal than other families in winter, and didn't have to calculate the burning. The room was warm early in the morning.
Lou Xiaoe, this young lady from a capitalist background, made Xu Damao both love and fear.
This petite and exquisite body was also the most superior frame for protruding what should be protruding and tight what should be tight. It was a pity that Xu Damao looked tall and big, but was a silver-like pewter gun head, and every time he made it up and down, even if he secretly took medicine, he couldn't hold it!
Li Xuewu found that there was no firewood in the firewood shed built by the second door when he got up early to hug firewood.
Walking into the room, he shouted at Liu Yin who was cooking breakfast: "Mom, there is no firewood."
Liu Yin also found that there was no firewood when she got up early.
"There are people selling firewood on the street. Wait a while, listen to the shouting, and go out quickly. A bundle of firewood is five cents."
Li Xuewu knew that bundle of firewood, which was not much thicker than Yu Li's waist, and could burn for a few days.
"Alright, just make do with the firewood bottom in the shed for lunch and dinner. After breakfast, put on the horse cart, bring the tools, and I will go to Changping."
Before Li Xuewu finished speaking, Liu Yin denied it.
"Why go so far? Just a few bundles of firewood, no need to run so far, and our family can't afford firewood."
Li Shun also disagreed, but didn't say anything.
Li Xuewu went to fetch firewood on one hand, and on the other hand, he was greedy for meat, so he had to get some wild game. He had to seize the opportunity before the protection law came out. Another thing was to see if there were any channels.
"Then let Xuewen and Xuecai go with you."
What Liu Yin was afraid of was Li Xuewu encountering danger. It was not peaceful now.
Before Li Xuewu could speak, Li Xuewen spoke first.
"I have to prepare lessons, I have to use them on Monday, and besides, it's not that we can't afford firewood, I'll pay for it."
Liu Yin scolded: "You! Why didn't I see you preparing lessons early? You have time to hold a book and be idle there, and when something happens, you are busy."
Zhao Yafang also pinched Li Xuewen behind her back, and Li Xuewen immediately stopped talking.
Li Xuecai saw that his eldest brother didn't say anything, and leaned toward Li Shun.
"I have to process medicinal materials with Dad today."
Before Liu Yin scolded Li Xuecai, Li Xuewu hugged Liu Yin's shoulder first.
"Mom, it's just a few steps away, and with that board cart, I'll take two more. Am I fetching firewood or going on an outing? Alright, I'll be back before dark."
"Changping..."
Seeing Li Xuewu's firm attitude, Liu Yin didn't persuade him anymore, raised her hand and twisted Li Xuecai, twisting Li Xuecai until he grinned.
"I have a volume of ghost and god map records"
Li Xuewu ate four steamed buns and a bowl of porridge at the table first, brought two steamed buns and a piece of pickles, and a military water bottle of hot water, and went out.
Big Grandpa had already harnessed the horse cart while Li Xuewu was eating. Li Xuewu put the saddle into the space when he went to the horse pen, and then went out of the main gate.
Big Grandpa stood by the cart, bundled the saw, axe, and firewood knife and put them on the cart, and took a spear and put it on the cart, and took a soil gun and handed it to Li Xuewu.
"Take it, it's not safe in the mountains."
Li Xuewu rolled his eyes at the soil gun.
This object was older than his age. Was it protecting him or was he protecting the antique?
"Big Grandpa, don't add chaos, where is there so much danger? When I enter the mountain, I am the source of danger."
Li Xuewu pushed the gun back, picked up the horse whip and carried it on his shoulder, led the horse and went out of the alley entrance.
He didn't dare to let the horse run wild in the alley, if he wasn't careful, he would bump into people. Once he went out of the street entrance, Li Xuewu jumped onto the horse cart, raised his whip, hit a whistle, and the big green horse ran happily.
Now there were few cars on the road, and there were mostly horse carts, ox carts, and donkey carts. He went out of the city along the straight road.
Leaning on the cart and watching the old city flash by his eyes, the cold wind blowing in his face also became fresh, and his mood became better. No wonder Shen Congwen said that people in the city wanted to come out.
After running for more than half an hour out of the city, he turned to a small road where no one could be seen.
Li Xuewu stopped the cart, got off the cart, unloaded the horse cart, and took it into the space all at once. This space on his finger was discovered after he woke up in the hospital. The space was not big, the size of a medium-sized warehouse in the future, and had no other functions. It was a large refrigerator, a static space.
After collecting the cart, he took out the saddle, tied the horse to the tree, skillfully installed the saddle for the horse. Grandpa's saddle was average, it was sheepskin bottom, wooden frame inside traditional saddle, worse than the cowhide saddle used for horse riding in the future, but it didn't delay use.
After installing the saddle, untied the rope, carried the red-tasseled spear, stepped on the horse stirrup and got on the horse.
The air at this height was different!
"Wuhu! Drive!"
The big green horse finally ran happily without the restraint of the cart frame.
Li Xuewu rode on the horse, the cold wind blew his face cold, thanks to this military coat resisting the wind, his calves were cold but his knees were not.
Looking from a distance, he really had the appearance of a little general.
Looking closely, this kid's snot was frozen out, like a third grandson.
He ran five kilometers out of the city and rested, walked for a while, rested eight or nine times, and finally entered the mountain.
At this time, the mountain had not been developed, unlike the various scenic spots in the future. Now it was all wilderness, there was no road up the mountain, all were small paths.
Li Xuewu rode a horse and carried a spear, and entered the mountain area like a bandit. The small road was not easy to walk, and he asked for directions when he saw people.
"Excuse me, where do the wild boars in the mountain live?"
The villagers on the road all looked at him like a fool and didn't pay attention to him.
When he asked the fourth person, someone finally answered.
Li Xuewu still said that sentence: "Excuse me, where do the wild boars in the mountain live?"
A small black fat man with a shaved head carrying a shoulder pole and a dung basket raised his head and replied: "Who knows that, ask the village chief!"
Li Xuewu gave himself a big mouth "pop."
It was necessary to ask the village chief, the village chief was the information collection center.
Li Xuewu got off the horse and walked into the village, asked for the village chief's house, and when he arrived, the village chief was leading everyone to apply base fertilizer.
Oh my, that smell!
Li Xuewu handed a cigarette and said that there were wild boars nearby, and he wanted to get some meat.
"Wild boars are fierce, don't mess around, they are fiercer than tigers when they are fierce. We don't dare to enter the mountain in the disaster year, you are alone and want to get meat?"
Li Xuewu didn't argue either.
"Village chief, it's not that the family is starving, there is really no way."
The village chief smoked a cigarette and said: "There are wild boars in the mountain, they come down to harm crops every spring, you can only get them by setting traps, but you don't have four-tenths of your strength when you go up the mountain now."
Seeing Li Xuewu's firm attitude, the village chief didn't persuade him anymore and pointed to the mountain in the distance.
"Follow the hillside up, enter the woods, and keep going along the forestry path. When you see the mountain hollow, turn in; there should be some inside, they might even be overgrown."
