There was still sun when we parted ways with the Yingzui Rock Horse Bandit in the morning, but by noon the dark clouds were rolling in, and the cold wind was blowing. In the evening, heavy snow was falling again. Yun Zhao found dozens of wolf skins, and used

We built a raft with branches and dragged the fat hind legs of more than a dozen wild wolves. We braved the wind and snow and finally saw Yunjia Village when it was almost dark. Smoke was already rising from the village.

The pheasants and rabbits they brought were eaten completely by the red lady and her gang. Although the wolf meat is not delicious, it can save lives. How can the poor be so picky, so Yun Zhao went to great lengths to drag away more than a dozen wild wolves.

When the legs come back, in the coldest month of winter, meat is not easy to spoil and can be kept for two months. Unfortunately, salt is too expensive, otherwise it would taste much more delicious if it was marinated with salt.

His clothes had been torn into pieces in the fight with the wild wolves. He wanted to ask for some clothes from the horse bandits in Yingzui Rock, but he refused their solicitation, except for the red lady who covered her face and watched.

He didn't show any expressions, and the others looked aggrieved and wanted to bite him twice, but he couldn't say these words anymore, so he came back in tatters, wearing a cotton coat like this, and went home

It's rare that I have to be blamed by my mother.

Looking in the direction of his house, there was also smoke rising from the kitchen. His mother must have been lighting the fire to cook. Yun Zhao felt a warm feeling in his heart. It felt good to be home.

"Mom, I'm back!" Yun Zhao shouted loudly as he pushed open the fence door of his home.

The dilapidated wooden door was pushed open, and a woman appeared at the door. Her hair was gray and her face was full of wrinkles. Although she was dressed in a rough green cloth dress that was starched and washed clean, it was covered with patches one after another. There were almost no good parts intact.

.

"Zhao'er is back, ah, he brought so many things back this time!" The woman came up to him in surprise, reached out to take the wolf skin that Yun Zhao was carrying on his shoulders, glanced at it, and her face suddenly changed, "Oh my god.

, Zhao'er, this is wild wolf skin, why are there so many wild wolf skins?"

Yun Zhao chuckled, carrying a few wolf legs in his hands, and walked back into the house, only to see several bowls already placed on the table. One contained a bowl of sweet potatoes, another contained dried pumpkin, and another bowl contained...

It's some pickled radish.

Throwing the wolf leg into the corner, he took a deep breath and said, "It smells so good, Mom. I'm really hungry after walking all day." He sat down at the table, picked up a piece of sweet potato, took a big bite, and took another

I picked up some pickled radish with my chopsticks and chewed it crisply.

The woman sat at the table and looked at Yun Zhao with a sullen face, "You haven't said anything yet, why are there so many wolf skins?"

"I met a group of wild wolves, killed them, and got so many skins!" Yun Zhao said unconcernedly. "What's wrong, mother, I'm not happy, your son is so powerful!"

"Lie!" the woman yelled, "Don't lie to my woman, I know nothing. With so many wild wolves gathered together, they are the most ferocious. How can you beat them?"

Yun Zhao smacked his lips, knowing that his mother was shrewd and could not hide this matter. He put down the sweet potatoes and said, "Mom, it's actually like this. I hunted some game, and on the way back, I happened to meet

If this group of wild wolves hadn't been lucky enough to find a savior, I would have died at the mouth of a wolf!" Then he recounted yesterday's situation in detail.

The woman was horrified by what she heard. She wiped her clothes and wiped her tears, "Son, don't go so far again. Mom only has a son like you. If she is gone, how can you live on?"

Yun Zhao looked at his tearful mother, who had become older and older in the past two years. He walked over and wiped her tears, "Mom, don't worry, I won't go that far in the future. It's not that this year's harvest is not good.

How can we survive the winter without getting more food? We see that the further we go, the colder the weather becomes!"

The woman sighed, "This world is getting more and more difficult. Zhao'er, you've been working hard outside these days. Eat more. I'll get you some meat to eat." She stood up and dragged a line with difficulty.

Wolf Legs, go to the kitchen.

Yun Zhao sat down again, chewing on the potatoes while looking at the house. The door needed to be repaired, and cool air was leaking in hissingly. Tomorrow, he would dig some mud and plaster the outer wall, so

It can be kept warmer, and the thatch on the roof needs to be rearranged.

"Zhao'er, have you finished eating?" Mother's voice came from the kitchen.

"Eat it!" Yun Zhao took a mouthful of pickled radish, stuffed it into his mouth, and walked to the kitchen while chewing. He watched his mother cutting wolf meat there.

"After eating, I took two wolf legs and brought them to Mr. Qin. I guess Mr. Qin's family doesn't have much food. He is a scholar and thin-skinned. He is not willing to lend money. He is just a man. Yesterday,

When I saw Rou Niang, my face turned pale with hunger. You have been out for many days, but Rou Niang comes to talk to me every day."

"Oh, I understand." Yun Zhao said quickly.

"By the way, take another piece of leather and go to the village tavern to exchange it for a few kilograms of wine. Mr. Qin can drink some wine."

"got it!"

"Take off your clothes, and I can sew them up for you later. If you go by like this, you don't have to scare Rou Niang!"

"Okay!" Yun Zhao responded loudly and quickly changed his clothes. There was no cotton-padded clothes anymore. Fortunately, he was strong, so it didn't matter if he got a little cold.

The Rou Niang in her mother's words and Yun Zhao's childhood sweethearts are rare beauties within a hundred miles of this square garden. They and Yun Zhao's childhood sweethearts, as they grow older, become in love with each other. In Yun Zhao's heart, Rou Niang

That is my future wife.

Thinking of Rou Niang's appearance, Yun Zhao couldn't help but smile. He picked up two wolf legs, touched two pieces of skin, and flew out of the house.

Watching Yun Zhao rush out of the room in a hurry from the kitchen, the woman couldn't help but smile on her face. Rou Niang is a good girl. After this winter, when spring comes, she will ask someone to go to Qin

When Mr. Qin proposes marriage, Mr. Qin must have taken into account the wishes of his two young children, so there is no problem in agreeing.

My son will be nineteen during the Chinese New Year, and Rou Niang will be sixteen. She has reached the age of marriage. She will get married next year, and the year after that, she can have a grandson.

The woman couldn't help but burst into laughter as she thought about it.

What Yun Zhao was holding was a good wolf skin, and there were no injuries on his body. He exchanged one wolf skin for five kilograms of wine, and gave the other wolf skins to Mr. Qin. Rou Niang was very clever, so she could do something for his father.

A leather robe, Yun Zhao thought as he walked towards Rou's mother's house. The two families were about a mile apart, but the houses in the village were twists and turns, so it took a lot of effort to walk.

After turning a corner, I saw Rou's house. Under an oil lamp, Mr. Qin's shadow was reflected. He was stroking his goatee, shaking his head and reading. In front of him, a small figure was sitting there.

, looking at the movements of his hands, he is sewing something.
