Just in time, he saw a pheasant startled from the grass, clucking and fluttering its long colorful wings. He didn't have time to draw an arrow and nock a bow, and smashed a wild pear in his hand. The pheasant screamed and fell.
"Hit!" Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin cheered and rushed to pick it up.
Zhao Liya couldn't help showing surprise, her eyes were bright, and she couldn't help but applaud and praise: "Wow, Brother Zhou is so awesome!"
Zhou Hansheng was sent by his family to study martial arts in Shuzhong since he was a child. He was talented, smart and diligent, and he received countless praises and praises from childhood.
He never thinks that those empty words are meaningful, and he always looks calm in his face and heart. For this reason, it makes people praise him for being so calm and steady at such a young age!
But hearing Zhao Liya's praise at this moment, Zhou Hansheng felt sincerely happy and proud. He smiled and said to Zhao Liya: "It's just a small trick, not worth anything."
Zhao Liya smiled and said: "Only Brother Zhou, who is so talented, is qualified to say this in such a tone. If it were another person, he would not be able to say it again!"
She couldn't help but be envious: "Although I can do some boxing and kicking, I'm definitely not as good as Brother Zhou."
"Oh?" Zhou Hansheng couldn't help but look at her in surprise: "It turns out you know how to punch and kick, which is good. It's safer this way."
Zhao Liya was still a little worried about whether he would say that girls are too rude, but when she heard this, she felt relieved and said with a smile: "Well, I think so too!"
Zhou Hansheng added: "However, it is better not to fight with others unless it is absolutely necessary."
Huh? Zhao Liya tentatively joked: "Does Brother Zhou think it's too rude for the girl's family to fight with others?"
"How is that possible?" Zhou Hansheng was surprised: "It's just that you are a woman, and your physical strength is naturally inferior to that of men. If you face some strong men, you may suffer a loss. If there is something, avoid it if you can. If you can't avoid it, you will have to do it.
Attack them when they are unprepared, strike decisively, and never get entangled in battle."
These words really touched Zhao Liya’s heart!
Zhao Liya was immediately elated and smiled widely: "Brother Zhou is absolutely right! I don't want to fight with others easily." In fact, she is quite gentle and her image cannot be ruined.
I sighed with emotion in my heart. Brother Zhou is not only good-looking, he is also very capable and has a good character. He does not have the habit of despising women and not taking them seriously in this era. How can such a good person be so resentful?
People like it!
It's a pity that it's so good that she can't afford it.
How cheating this is!
Zhao Liya couldn't help but sigh softly.
While the two were talking, Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin had already jumped back and grabbed the injured pheasant that was squealing.
"Sister! Brother Zhou!"
"Look! We got it! We got it!"
"What a beautiful pheasant!"
Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng rushed to greet them. Zhao Liya took the pheasant from the hands of the two children and talked to them with a smile.
The two children were so excited as soon as they entered the mountain that they could not calm down for a moment. Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng accompanied them and ran around the mountain, picking a lot of wild fruits. The two children picked up many beautiful leaves and saw several predatory birds.
The little squirrel, with its bright black eyes, big fluffy tail, and smooth brown fur, is so cute.
After a while, Yu Xiaofang ran over to them with a smile: "Follow me quickly. I found a field of wild chestnuts on the ridge ahead. Let's smash the chestnuts!"
"Okay! Come on, come on!" Zhao Liya's eyes lit up and she greeted the two children and Zhou Hansheng.
She was just wanting to eat chestnuts, and it happened to her by chance.
Stir-fried chestnuts, chestnut syrup, chestnut cakes, etc., as well as the chestnut roast chicken and chestnut winter bamboo shoots stewed pork belly that she misses the most!
Many families in Zaihu Village and Bajiao Village have chestnut trees, and some families also have old trees that have been growing for decades. They grow on the mountains, with lush branches and leaves like giant umbrella canopies, seven or eight meters high, eleven or two meters high.
There is a lot of rice, and every year the fruits are so densely packed that when you look up, they are all hedgehogs.
She originally wanted to ask the villagers for some, but now that she can provide enough food and clothing by herself, it is naturally better.
Yu Xiaofang quickly led them to this mountain ridge. As expected, a large number of wild chestnut trees grew on the gentle ridge.
The tree is not very high, so you can climb up to pick the thorny chestnuts, and use stones to break open the thorny shells outside to get chestnuts one by one.
Qu Yutao, Luo Shuyan and two or three of Zhou Hansheng's entourage were also here. Zhao Liya and the others came and joined in while chatting and laughing.
There were so many chestnuts on the tree that Yu Xiaofang and the others easily got a lot of them, and Zhao Liya and the others smashed them together.
Zhao Liya had naturally seen chestnuts like this in her previous life, but she had never seen them in this life. She matched the shouts and exclamations of the two children who had never seen them before, and she was also surprised.
The thorns on the outside of the chestnut were so strong that she didn't dare to let the two children handle it. Luo Shuyan smiled and asked the two children to look for it in the surrounding grass. "There will also be a lot of fallen mature chestnuts in the grass. There are no thorn shells.
Well, it’s just like this one by one, can you go and look for it?”
The siblings thought that finding chestnuts was more fun than smashing them, so they went happily.
Zhao Lin quickly found one. It was black, bright, plump and very beautiful. He proudly told the adults and received a lot of praise, which made him look for it even more energetically.
When Zhao Lixiang saw this, he also became energetic and deliberately wanted to compete with his younger brother. Both of them were very energetic.
Not to mention, they actually found quite a few!
When everyone left the mountains and went back in the afternoon, it could be said that they had gained a lot.
The medium-sized basket was filled with a basket full of chestnuts, estimated to weigh about thirty kilograms. There were also many wild persimmons and pears, and I also dug up five or six winter bamboo shoots on the way back.
In addition to the pheasants that Zhou Hansheng hunted, Lin Mo and the others also gained something. They hunted a wild boar weighing 130 to 50 kilograms. It was not big, but it was not small either. In such weather, so many people could eat for three or four days.
After all, it’s not the twelfth lunar month when bacon and sausages are made, so it’s hard to keep the meat for too long.
Back in the village, Widow Qu and Aunt Li Shiyi hurried into the kitchen to boil water to scald the wild boar and shave it. The backyard became busy and busy.
When they carried the wild boar into the village, the people in the village were extremely envious.
"Such a big wild boar is full of meat. It will take several days to finish it!"
"Lin Mo is already good at hunting, so it's not surprising."
"The Zhao family is really lucky. Lin Mo is so close to them. There will be endless meat to eat in the future!"
"That's not true. I've seen it three times recently. Cousins Lin Mo sent pheasants, hares, etc. to the Zhao family."
"Why haven't you given it to the Luo family before?"
Whenever Lin Mo is mentioned, the topic always seems to turn to the Luo family in the end. Everyone is silent for a moment, and then they all start laughing.
"Then I definitely won't give it away. Even if it's me, I won't give it away either!"
