Chapter 2 Eating meat to practice
"It's lost." Li Qingshan answered in a stern voice, as if he was beaten back to the cruel reality from the psychedelic world.
"Go and find it for me quickly. You dare to throw away our cow. Seeing that your brother won't beat you to death when he comes back. If the cow is gone, you can get out of here too!"
"That's my cow!" Li Qingshan strode out the door. If he doesn't leave, he may not be able to beat the woman up, but if he does, he will never be able to accommodate her at home again. He has to bow his head under the roof.
It was not until dusk that he returned to the cowshed with exhaustion. His shiny eyes turned around in the empty cowshed and then became dim again.
Li Qingshan's daily work is not only herding cattle to collect miscellaneous items, but also leading the cattle to the landlord's house in the village to help with the work, earning a little money to supplement the family income.
Today, I lost my cow and could only do the same job as other long-term workers. It was a job that adults felt hard, not to mention that he was half a boy and had not had breakfast yet.
Compared with physical fatigue, as for the insults and scoldings of the farm manager, it was a daily trivial matter. He fell headlong into the haystack and didn't want to think about anything, but his stomach started to roar.
It is conceivable that in such an environment, even if you have any ambitions, you will be wiped out, leaving only the most instinctive physical needs.
Li Qingshan was in a daze, and only heard a "bang" sound, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. When he opened his eyes, he saw a strange face and a pair of white and long fangs. He couldn't help but startled. When he woke up, he saw that it was a wild boar. He had just died and was still full of heat.
The green bull was lying in front of the groove, looking at him "smilingly", and he could vaguely distinguish the expression on the green bull's face.
As night fell, in the village house, Mrs. Li was complaining to Brother Li: "That little bastard is so different from a personal person. He even lost such a big cow. No, he must have sold it secretly. If he can't do it, he will definitely get a family. If he continues, he will have to harm us."
Brother Li is in his thirties and is born with a tall and powerful man. He is also famous for his strongness in the village, but he is extremely respectful to his wife: "But the family is divided, and those acres of good land are distributed to him in front of the old man in the village." They occupied this land on the ground that Li Qingshan was too young to farm, and they did not return it now, but if they were formally separated, they would have to pay it back.
"Didn't Manager Liu always want this land? Just sell it to them. If the little bastard has the courage, he will ask him for it."
"But what if he refuses to part?"
"Hungry him for three days, don't you worry about not agreeing?"
The two were discussing, and Mrs. Li suddenly sniffed: "What do you smell?"
"It smells so good, it seems that someone's cooking meat!"
"It's not like the New Year or the Festival, so what kind of meat is cooked, it seems, it's just around the corner."
The two of them came to the cowshed in search of the fragrance, and saw a pot holding up in the cowshed, and firewood was burning below. The soup boiled, and the fragrance spread everywhere.
The fire swayed in the darkness, casting Li Qingshan's shadow on the wall.
Mrs. Li swallowed: "Where did you stole the meat from?" She was not only lazy, but also greedy. Looking at the pot of meat soup, she forgot to even Li Qingshan's guilt, so she stepped forward and picked up the spoon and stirred it.
Brother Li was sharp-eyed and saw something sitting under Li Qingshan’s butt at first sight, and exclaimed: “Wild boar!”
Wild boars can be said to be extremely dangerous in the mountains. They are covered in thick skin, flesh, and swords and swords, and ordinary hunters will retreat when they see them, let alone capture them.
"This is what I picked up at the foot of the mountain when I was looking for a cow. I was injured. I was probably chased by a hunter and was desperate." Li Qingshan said the reason that the existence of the cow must be kept confidential, otherwise the news of the demon cow would be heard, and it would be possible that the Heavenly Palace would come to us at any time.
Brother Li was skeptical and laughed: "Brother, you are a fool, you are a fool. When I pull this pig to the market, I will definitely sell it for a good price and save it for you to marry a wife." At the same time, he also saw the green cow in the cowshed and thought to himself that there is no need to rush to split up with him, that cow can still do farm work.
Li Qingshan saw that Li Dasao was stirring in the pot, and just wanted to find a piece to taste it. His good mood of cooking meat was destroyed and he opened Li Dasao's hand with a "slap" and said, "Don't move around."
Mrs. Li covered her hands and stepped back, wailing: "Look at your brother, I said he would bully me as a wife while you are not at home. You don't believe it yet. Now you can see it in front of you."
Bullying you? Li Qingshan felt nauseous. If your surname is Pan, I would not be a loss.
Brother Li's face suddenly became gloomy: "That's how you are the uncle?"
Li Qingshan lowered his head and said, "I have my own plans for this meat. Now I am not young, and it is time to separate." This is something he was considering when cooking meat. He no longer wanted to continue to bow his head under this roof.
Brother Li didn't expect that before he could speak, Li Qingshan asked for it first. He was stunned and furious. He was a foolish farmer, not a person who could keep his anger. He clenched his fists and was about to beat Li Qingshan and drag the wild boar away first.
Seeing that he was in a wrong state, Li Qingshan stood up, his face was severe, but his heart felt a little weak. His body had not grown up yet, and he had been tired for a day and had not eaten anything. How could he be able to beat an adult man? He glanced at Qingniu from the bottom of his eyes, but Qingniu was just watching the scene, without any intention of helping.
Just as Li Qingshan was complaining in his heart and was about to get beaten up, Brother Li stopped and looked at Li Qingshan's right hand.
The rough big hand held an equally rough short knife, and the impurities-filled blade was still dull even after careful polishing.
This is a short knife that Li Qingshan has been saving money in recent years and bought at the market. He can be used in many places. He just used this knife to cut meat.
Li Qingshan immediately realized that his elder brother was afraid, and it was not him who was afraid of it, but this knife. Before this moment, he had never realized that the inferior short knife in his hand had the power to intimidate others.
Li Qingshan was just an ordinary student in his previous life. Although he had fought several times, he was just a dispute between classmates. He had never experienced the same kind of weapons in his two lives.
After understanding this, Li Qingshan pinched the short knife in his hand and deliberately raised it up, as if a beast showed its fangs, although he actually didn't dare to use this thing at all.
Brother Li immediately took a step back, and Mrs. Li didn't dare to howl. In the end, the two of them actually withdrew from the cowshed, showing an extremely disappointed look, cursed outside, and then returned to the room to discuss their "big plan".
Li Qingshan turned a blind eye, and even threw the fragrance of meat behind his head. He just stared at the knife, and his face was reflected in it. This bargain of a few dollars had just protected him, preventing him from a flesh-and-hearted pain, an insult, and also protecting his spoils.
Although it was a natural truth, at this moment, it seemed to be suddenly enlightened.
The green cow lies in front of the groove and looks at him with a smile.
The fire swayed, and the black giant on the wall stood with a knife. At this moment, a young man understood the exact value of power.
After a long time, Li Qingshan sat down again, scratched his head and looked at the pot: "How long does this meat have to be cooked?" He was a person who was full of meat. He has really made him suffer over the past ten years. When his parents were there, they could eat a few bites during festivals. It was just that they would go there. Cutting that little meat was not enough for Mrs. Li to eat alone.
Even if there was a bottle of elixir in front of him, he could not compare to this pot of meat, which made him anxious.
The pig is a big pig, and the pot of meat is cooked for half the night.
The rising flames, the floating fragrance, and the crackling sounds, the concentrated young man condensed into a scene with no ruthless and poetic, but extremely simple and primitive.
In the end, although he didn't even sprinkle a little salt, let alone other seasonings, Li Qingshan almost swallowed his tongue. He didn't care about fat and weight, and after a few kilograms of cooked meat, he even drank all the broth.
If someone asks Li Qingshan what happiness is, he will definitely answer that happiness is a pot of meat.
