Chapter 31 Abundant harvest

After Zhang Damin said something again, he left. After Li Hongxiang put away all her clothes, there was a noise outside Zhang Tiezhu's courtyard. It turned out that her husband Zhang Tiezhu was back.

"Wife, come out quickly and see what good things I'm making." Zhang Tiezhu's excited voice came from the courtyard, shouting loudly.

Zhang Yuxiu hurriedly ran out of the house when she heard this. She came back only after dark, but she was worried. She had wanted to go to Wuzhu Mountain to find him, but because Zhang Youqian's wife came to make trouble, she was delayed. Now when she heard Zhang Tiezhu's shouting, she ran out without hesitation to see what was being done, and she actually made him so happy.

When he arrived in the yard, Li Hongxiang looked at it in the night and couldn't help but feel happy. Zhang Tiezhu was holding two hares around his waist, carrying a wolf on his shoulder, and there were things in the basket on his back. There were some dead branches on it, which was very convenient to use to ignite fire and cook the pot. There were more than a dozen bird eggs below.

"Husband, where did you get so many things?" Li Hongxiang said in shock.

Zhang Tiezhu put the wolf on his shoulder on the ground. The wolf had already died, and the blood on his body had long been solidified. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his head, gasped, and then said with a smile: "I looked in the trap we dug today. There was a wolf inside, half dead. Seeing that the blood was almost dry, it was obvious that the wolf had fallen for a day or two, and its belly was caught by the spikes in the trap and could not get out. I went up and gave it a knife, killed it, and then got it up."

"I found these two hares in other traps. By the way, I also found a large nest of bird eggs. These bird eggs can be replenished. I cook them for a few kids every morning."

Li Hongxiang said with a funny look: "There are twelve bird eggs in total, one bird egg one bite, and four babies are not enough to share, and one in the morning. I think it will be cooked tomorrow morning."

"Wife, just look at the arrangement." Zhang Tiezhu still couldn't stop smiling. Today can be said to be a great harvest.

Since he became lame, it has been difficult to catch wild game. His legs are not flexible and he can't even catch a wild pheasant. His life has become very difficult. In desperation, he had to find a way to catch animals and dig traps everywhere in the forest. Fortunately, no one went in in the mountains, and the trap he dug also made dangerous marks, and nothing happened so far.

But since the trap was dug, no wild beast had fallen into the trap. Today he was going up the mountain to get luck. If there were no wild beasts in the trap, he would catch some. This time, he had to find a way to get some wild game or something, otherwise he would not be able to pass this winter.

I never thought that I had gained so much this time!

Two hares can be kept at home to eat, and the other can be taken to the county restaurant for money. The fur of the rabbit you stay at home can also be taken to the county for money. What is even more valuable is the wolf's skin. If it is peeled well, the whole wolf skin can be sold for a lot of money. At that time, you can buy some quilts and mattresses and buy some coarse grains.

This winter will be settled, and it should be able to survive.

So, Zhang Tiezhu is in a good mood now.
