Chapter 112 110: Heartache
Although he has a young body, his soul is old. When Wang Tianxiao opened his eyes in the morning, he found that it was only after five o'clock, and the sky outside was still dark.
Little Wang Fang huddled in his arms at some point, holding his arms with her little hands, like a little mouse.
Gently kissed his daughter's small face, he sat up lightly, tucked all the quilt under the child's body, put on his clothes and got off the kang.
"Shopkeeper, why did you wake up so early?"
The wife was also woken up, and asked him in a daze.
"Well, I can't sleep anymore, you can continue to sleep, the kang is still hot, I will wait for you to refuel the coal, you can sleep until nine o'clock and then get up to eat."
"Then I'll sleep for a while."
Li Yali fell asleep again, and she kept getting up in the middle of the night to feed the child, and she was very tired.
Wang Tianxiao is very envious of his wife's ability to fall asleep like this. Often when she is talking, his wife says she is sleepy, and it may take tens of seconds before she falls asleep.
Unlike Wang Tianxiao himself, he has to wait for a long time to fall asleep every time, and he sleeps very lightly, and is easily awakened by the slightest disturbance.
I have heard people say that people who are open-minded and don’t pretend to be serious are prone to sleep soundly. The more things they think about and the more they worry about, the worse their sleep quality will be.
Wang Tianxiao got out of bed and was about to wash his face, but found that there was not much water left in the thermos bottle, and he used it to wash his feet last night.
The rest didn't move, in case the wife suddenly became thirsty, she would still drink.
He came to the kitchen and found that the water in the water tank had also frozen into ice cubes, just like the ones at home.
He smashed out a few pieces of ice with a knife, threw them into the pot, and was about to light the fire to boil water, but Wu Wenhua came in. Seeing him in front of the pot, he hurried over to stop him, "Boss, why are you up? Do you want hot water?" Right, I'll burn it."
"It's okay, I can come too."
"How can I make you burn? You spent money to treat us, but you didn't want us to enjoy ourselves. Get up, you've always been so polite, and we don't feel comfortable."
Wu Wenhua eagerly pulled Wang Tianxiao up from the pot, and said dissatisfiedly: "Boss, I am not happy with your appearance. If you want us to do something, just arrange for us to do it. You just get started, isn't that right?" Just slap us in the face."
"No, no, I don't mean that," Wang Tianxiao argued helplessly, "Isn't it too early? I thought you guys would take more rest. I couldn't sleep. I got up and boiled some water. Everyone can use it for washing and eating later."
"That should also be done by me. From now on, I will get up at 5:30 every day to boil water. You should not go into the kitchen easily. Just tell me what you want to eat and drink with the proprietress."
Wang Tianxiao felt a little anxious when he saw Wu Wenhua, so he could only smile and said, "All right, you are busy here, and I will separate yesterday's deer..."
"You said that the buck that was shot yesterday, I have divided it up, and the meat is in a warehouse." Wu Wenhua put a handful of hay into the pot, pressed some flammable birch branches on it, and put some more on it. A few poplar sticks, while striking matches, said.
"Ah, it's done, when did you chop it?"
"After cleaning up the kitchen last night, I was with my brother. I wanted to chop it earlier and separate the oil from the meat. After a long time, the meat will lose its fragrance."
Wang Tianxiao recalled that he didn't seem to hear anything at night. It seems that he drank too much last night and his hearing was affected.
Since this is the case, he can rest easy.
"Then let's do this, Brother Wenhua, wait until dawn and put some of the recently killed ones back, marinate the ones that can be pickled, cook and press the ones that can't be pickled, and keep the meat of a few badgers for feeding." Dogs and cats."
"Okay, I'll do it in a moment."
Wang Tianxiao turned around and walked outside. After walking a few steps, he suddenly thought of something, and said to Wu Wenhua: "Didn't you say last time that your wife is afraid of the cold, and wanted to get a wolf skin. In fact, the wolf skin is not as warm as the badger skin. We There are three badger skins, I will give them to you, you can find someone who can make a vest or jacket, which is much better than wolf skins."
Wu Wenhua was stunned, then shook his head hastily, "How can this work? Three badger skins can be sold for hundreds of dollars. How can I take your things for nothing?"
"It doesn't matter. If you can't use it all up, you can share it with Brother Qiancai. Didn't I say it all last night? We will take care of each other when we live here. I'm the boss, but I'm not a pickpocket."
"You're busy, I'm going to see the doe."
Wang Tianxiao smiled sincerely at Wu Wenhua.
He kind of likes Wu Wenhua. He is hardworking, knows how to measure, and is simple and honest. He is just the partner he needs for a long time.
Yesterday's doe was brought back and locked in the same room as the original fawn.
Wang Tianxiao is just trying. This kind of wild doe has a strong temper and is generally difficult to domesticate. Often if you don’t kill them, they will find their own way of death.
But the situation of this doe is quite special. She happened to be pregnant, probably because of the restraint of the child in her womb, her temperament was not as extreme as imagined, and she was relatively quiet.
Sika deer usually go into heat in July and August, and the pregnancy period is about eight months. They can give birth in May and June of the next year.
It is now the end of December, and it is speculated that it has been pregnant for three or four months, which is exactly half of the pregnancy.
Wang Tianxiao observed this doe carefully yesterday. It seems that she is not too old, only three or four years old, and is still a small deer.
The life cycle of deer is very long. If there is no accident, it can live to about twenty years old.
Same age cycle as Gouzi.
If the doe can be domesticated successfully, not only can one get a baby deer, but also a doe. This kind of harvest is simply not too pleasant.
Wang Tianxiao opened the door and saw the doe lying nervously on the ground. The corn and fried feed in front of her was barely eaten, and the water seemed to be missing.
The original fawn had a special fondness for this newcomer, and lay down next to its body.
Seeing Wang Tianxiao coming in, the fawn didn't move. It was basically familiar with Wang Tianxiao, but the doe raised her head nervously, with both ears pricked up, staring at Wang Tianxiao, her eyes motionless.
Wang Tianxiao was not in a hurry, and stood quietly watching for a while, until the doe slowly relaxed her vigilance, then picked up the broom and dustpan beside it to clean up the excrement.
When he passed by, the doe stood up and kept retreating, shrinking her body to the corner of the wall. Her beautiful eyes were alert and confused.
The watery ground makes people feel pity.
"Don't be afraid, you can live here, as if you are in the wild. There is endless food, clean water, and no wolves and honey dogs to bully you. It is very safe."
Wang Tianxiao said with a smile while sweeping the floor.
He likes to chat with these animals, in fact, he talks to himself.
I raised several cats in my previous life, and they were all very sensible. When I started talking to them, they still couldn’t understand them, but after a few years of raising them, they basically understood a little bit.
Any animal raised to a certain age can possess some intelligence.
Wang Tianxiao doesn’t expect the doe to understand what he said now, but it would be good if the doe can gradually relax her guard against him through some voices and behaviors.
In contrast, Xiaolu is already used to Wang Tianxiao's existence, and has no grudges against him, and will come to him to pick up Wang Tianxiao's broom.
This fawn is a male deer. Wang Tianxiao originally thought it was one or two months, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it takes more than four months for a deer to live independently, and generally female deer give birth in June at the latest, so this fawn is real. The month is probably more than five months.
I can only say that the young man's development is not very good, he looks a bit small.
"Hey, you have to take good care of your new partner, do you hear me?"
Wang Tianxiao patted the deer named "Na Na" on the head, and went out with garbage and feces.
It went to see the little badger again, and found that the little badger should eat and drink. Even in the cage, he was still contented, and his adaptability was much better than that of the doe.
Maybe for this small carnivore, meat is all they need. They don’t have any spiritual needs, they just need to have a full stomach.
There is another chapter that will be republished in the afternoon for my son to extract his teeth.
