Yan Yu was unwilling to go back like this.
She plans to go to other places after dawn.
The two found a stone pile and rested in the leeward place.
The burning carbon cylinder melted the surrounding land. Qi Si put several handfuls of snow into the pot and put them on the carbon cylinder. After a while, the snow turned into water, and the snowflakes in the sky rushed down and melted.
Yan Yu threw two pieces of spirit snake meat into it, and was not idle while waiting for the pot to boil. She collected the surrounding snow and packed it tightly, filling in the gaps in the stone pile.
Qi Si was shoveling the turf, finding out the wilted grass from under the snow to feed Sanbao and the donkey. He looked at the tied calf, loosened the rope, and the calf stood up.
It stood pitifully, not daring to move.
After trembling for a while, realizing that there was no danger, he took two steps in place, and then subconsciously leaned towards Sanbao.
Sanbao turned the bull's head to look at it, and then lay on its stomach without moving.
The little calf found a place where it could feel at ease, and snuggled up beside Sanbao.
When the snow water in the pot began to smoke, the little calf was not satisfied with the status quo, and gently arched his head against Sanbao's belly, anxiously testing around...
Sanbao's oxtail flicked and fell on it occasionally.
Probably ascertained something, the little calf whimpered aggrievedly.
Qi Si tore apart the hard pancakes and threw them into the pot.
After tearing a lot, the water in the pot almost came out.
He stopped.
"Little Er, eat."
Yan Yu responded, shaking the snow off her hat, and then patted on her body.
After taking the soup soaked cakes served by Uncle Qi, he drank them together with Luoxue.
With food in his stomach, it was warm, Yan Yu was not in a hurry to drink the second bowl, and turned his gaze to the little calf whimpering beside Sanbao.
She thought about it, found a slightly sunken stone on the ground, poured some hot soup into it, and placed it in front of the calf.
The little guy hid back in fear, but Sanbao pushed it back with his mouth, and it carefully licked the soup on the stone.
It seems that the taste has been eaten, and the soup is gone, and the little guy doesn't stop.
Qi Si looked interesting and poured some more for it.
The little guy licked more happily.
…
The sky was bright, Qi Si hurriedly put out the charcoal fire.
Called Yan Yu, Yan Yu stood up, moved his hands and feet, picked up the snow from the ground, rubbed his face, the cold touch made him refreshed immediately.
"Uncle Qi, let's not change places today, I want to see if I can attract the cows." She looked at the well-behaved calf beside Sanbao.
"Okay!" Qi Si said nothing.
…
The snow did not stop, but it was a little smaller.
For cattle and sheep, this weather does not affect grazing, and Yan Yu is not sure whether Beirong will still graze. She just thinks of the tents she saw yesterday and the hay piled outside the tents.
Judging from the number of cattle, sheep and horses she saw, the forage stored in Beirong should not be enough to survive this winter, so they can only continue to graze, and only consume the forage in the worst weather .
Sure enough, Beirong still released all the cattle and sheep.
The grassland is covered with a layer of white, and the different colors scattered on the white are extremely conspicuous.
She found out yesterday that when Bei Rong herded cattle and sheep, she didn't care much about how they walked.
There is a way to call the cattle and sheep back.
How can we bring them over?
Yan Yu took out the bag of salt, not sure if this method would work.
It is said that animals that live in the wild have the natural ability to seek salt. Alpine goats that live on snowy mountains at -50°C will suddenly appear in front of the climbers, with a very friendly look, just because they smell the salt emitted by the climbers after exercising. Sweat...
Because it contains salt, they want to lick it...
She rubbed the salt on her hands, and some for Fourth Uncle Qi, and when she turned around and saw Three Treasures, she put some more on Three Treasures, and some on Gou Zhu and Donkey.
Then command them in a low voice to increase the temperature a little.
The effect is immediate.
The little calf cheered up.
Surrounded around Sanbao, anxiously wanting to lick the place where it was smeared with salt.
The donkey is also taken care of by it.
Only hold on to it and be afraid, not daring to approach it.
Fourth Uncle Qi couldn't reach it, so he moved closer to Yan Yu.
Yan Yu stretched out her hand, and the little guy happily licked it.
Itchy!
Yan Yu couldn't hold back and withdrew her hand, the calf persevered, and continued to move forward, licking hard.
Well, animals like salt for sure.
"Uncle Qi, let's stop standing and move around to warm up." Yan Yu said.
Start activities from one big to one small.
In the limited space blocked by the stone pile, running and jumping in place...
Seems to really work!
Yan Yu stretched out her head and found that there were many sheep coming towards them!
The cow walks slowly and lags behind.
They didn't just come over in a daze, but walked this way while grazing.
She suddenly grabbed the calf, and the calf suddenly left the ground, screaming in panic.
Yan Yu didn't put it down, just held it up.
The flock of sheep is getting closer and closer, a cow suddenly overtakes from behind, running all the way here.
Several cows were led forward by it, and they probably didn't even know why.
Closer, closer!
Yan Yu has been paying attention to the movement of the cow, her eyes are getting brighter and brighter!
that's it!
She robbed the cub's cow!
It is said that licking the calf is deeply affectionate, and they are talking about cows.
When the calf was tired of screaming, she put it down and lifted it up again, even high.
It should be more and more sure that its calf is here, and the cow rushed forward without hesitation.
The sheep also made a commotion for a while, and then ran a few times.
Yan Yu put down the calf before the cow rushed over. The calf smelled its mother and wanted to run over, but was stopped by the dog, who bared its teeth and frightened it away.
The cow arrived, and when she saw her cub, she seemed to be able to see only her cub, licking her cub wholeheartedly.
The calf cried out aggrievedly, but the cow ignored them and began to nurse in public.
Yan Yu: …
Good job!
She picked up the hemp rope, looped it neatly, and walked over lightly.
The cow looked at her and didn't move.
The cow did not resist at all.
She tried to pull.
The cow took two steps, and the calf raised its head and was unwilling to let go, so it also moved forward.
This is it?
Yan Yu's joy is beyond words!
She touched the cow tentatively, and the cow let her go.
As long as it does not delay feeding the child, feel free.
"Haha!" Yan Yu laughed out loud, "It's done!"
I feel that the hardships of the past few days have not been in vain.
A calf is a bit of a loss, but if you add a cow, it feels like a profit!
The unconscious flock is still approaching.
Yan Yu felt that the plan had changed.
She probably won't be able to continue exploring the grasslands anymore.
The sheep delivered to the door bleat, I am sorry for their initiative.
Looking out from the stone pile, Beirong, who is grazing, has no intention of coming.
"Uncle Qi, we can't catch too many. Although the cow is put on, it walks slowly. To be on the safe side, let's catch two sheep. There can't be more, and it's not easy to bring more..." Yan Yu seemed to be trying to persuade Fourth Uncle Qi was actually persuading himself.
She told herself to take a long-term view, and it was the first time she came back. Seeing the appearance of those Bei Rong, she didn't seem to plan to change places in a short time.
"It's all up to you." Qi Si said again: "Is it alive or dead?"
Catch live ones, it will struggle, so you need to be more prepared.
Those who die don’t need to think so much, just do it.
Yan Yu weighed again and again.
Looking at the ashes who came over, he gritted his teeth and said, "Both ends, dead."
Qi Si raised his stick, and when the sheep approached, he knocked down two sheep with two bangs.
The other sheep scattered in a hurry, but they didn’t run far away foolishly. They gathered in one place, squeezed one by one, and stared at the sheep’s eyes not far away to watch.
Silly sheep!
Yan Yu commented in her heart.
Qi Si **** two sheep and put them on Sanbao's body, one on the left and the other on the right.
Yan Yu glanced at the flock of sheep reluctantly, and looked at the cows who were not too far away from them, poured the remaining salt in the salt bag on the stone pile, and sprinkled it as much as possible.
"Uncle Qi, let's go!"
Yan Yu rode on the donkey, and Qi Si also raised his legs and sat on Sanbao's back.
"Hold on, you roll a few times on the ground, rolling all our footprints."
Gou Zhu let out a low voice.
began to roll **** the ground to eliminate traces.
Yan Yu looked at the sky, but she didn't know how long the snow would last. I hope it will last longer.
She took the rope, and the cow followed obediently.
The little calf seemed to have not had enough, and grunted reluctantly.
Hold on to the low, threatening growl.
The little guy quickly let go, walked away from it quickly, and followed the cow closely.
As soon as they left, the flocks of sheep and cattle gathered around, licking the stones constantly, and those that Yan Yu scattered on the high places also tried their best to lick them, with their front hooves resting on the stones, stretching their necks hard...
…
Yan Yu did not return from the original road, but chose the nearest road to enter the mountain.
It's a good idea to take lamb on the road.
Because the living cattle and sheep need to eat, one cow is enough for them to work. If there are two more live sheep, good guy, they have to serve them to eat and drink all the way.
A cow is much simpler. When it stops to rest, Yan Yu usually stays in place, and Qi Si goes out to find firewood and fodder.
At this time, Gouzhu will go out to hunt, and he can always bring back some small animals, mostly rabbits. There are rabbit holes all over the grassland, and you can accidentally step on one...
Occasionally there are moles, also called ground crawlers.
This Yan Yu didn't dare to eat it, and he wouldn't let Fourth Uncle Qi eat it. It was too cheap to live on. Anyway, what went into its stomach was fattened by Nanny Rong.
Gouzi is smart, and soon discovered Yan Yu's "picky eater".
Since then, I have been catching rabbits and coming back.
Yan Yu reduced the rest time, walked for a day and a half, and finally reached the foot of the mountain.
Seeing that she could enter the mountain, she was very relieved.
The grassland is flat, and it is not easy to find a place to hide. It is far less safe than in the mountains.
…
Li Xuemei looked out of the window from time to time, and lost her mind while talking, Madam Cui comforted: "Don't worry too much, then Qi Si will follow, Qi brothers are trustworthy people, and Xiaoer himself is capable, Maybe you sleep tonight, and when you open your eyes the next day, she will come back!"
Li Xuemei withdrew her gaze and said, "This child can't stay at home anymore, and he doesn't know what he will grow into in the future."
Ms. Cui advised her again: "In the past few years, when she grows up and grows in stature, it won't be easy for her to run outside like a kid."
Li Xuemei didn't say a word, she was muttering in her heart, will it? Why does she feel that her daughter has run away?
"By the way, brother and sister, I'm afraid you don't know, the Luo family has taken a fancy to the little sister of the Hu family." Madam Cui gossiped.
After Li Xuemei got older, fewer people went out. It was women from various families who came to chat with her, but every family had a lot of work, and it was rare for women to come out to visit. Only Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Qi ran frequently.
The latter is worried about her, so no matter how busy she is, she will come and see her.
The former was a bit busy when her natal family settled in Xiaoan Village, and came here often after the settlement was settled.
There are big things and small things in the village, and there is nothing to hide from her if there is a little trouble.
"Hu Xiaomei?" Li Xuemei recalled her age and said, "Your younger than Da Ya?"
"They are the same age, and your elder sister is two months older than your younger sister." Madam Cui has a good memory, and continued: "The Luo family has vision, and our village chief uncle has business. As the old saying goes, marry a Daughter-in-law is happy to celebrate the new year, this winter has the least work, and Zhang Luo's marriage will not be delayed."
She didn't need to ask Li Xuemei to talk about it enthusiastically: "The Hu family lived in those days, and now they are counted among the people in the village. The two brothers Hu Da and Hu Er are both successful, and their family background is also rich. They built two yards at once, tsk tsk , I heard that Uncle Hu plans to divide the property regardless of the household, and the two sons live together. I also heard that Uncle Hu has prepared the dowry for the younger sister early. The Hu family loves the old girl, saying that the old couple saved a lot Woolen cloth."
Li Xuemei asked curiously: "Then you are talking about the big iron?"
Ms. Cui nodded and said: "That's right, Da Tie is the eldest son and grandson, and he hadn't made a decision earlier, and the Luo family also wanted to find someone with a good temper who could handle things well.
The younger sister of the Hu family didn't show up before, but looking at it recently, she has a lot of ideas. Her sister's family and her sister-in-law's natal family were all restrained when they first came, so the younger sister brought the children of those two families together. Meals, work together, and take them to the old man Kang to attend classes and read characters. I heard that the younger sister can read a lot of characters, and she is particularly good among those children.
The children are settled, and the adults in this family work hard. They not only help the Hu family build a house, but also go to the mountains to collect firewood. Your family is very happy to collect firewood and make money. If you really want to do this, how many can you save in one winter? , Wait until spring to open up wasteland to plant, this day, there will be no worries. "
Mrs. Cui said with emotion: "Speaking of which, your family's business has really helped us a lot. Otherwise, we would not earn any money this winter and just sit and eat. Our own family is fine, plus my mother's family, so I don't have to worry about me to death. Okay, work harder, why don't you spend ten or twenty coins a day..."
"Speaking of this, I want to discuss something with you." Madam Cui said.
"What are you talking about." Li Xuemei said.
Ms. Cui: "Didn't your family and the Qi family buy the woodland from the south of the village to Dashiqiao together?"
Li Xuemei nodded. With Mrs. Cui, there are no secrets in the village.
"I just want to find out how the land between your two families is divided, whose family is next to the big stone bridge?" Madam Cui asked.
