Early the next morning, Li Yu woke up and found that Li Mei had already gotten up and prepared meals.

The three of them had dinner. Li Yu gave Li Mei some money and asked her to take Li Qing to school. Li Mei took the money and smiled: "Yu'er, Auntie and Ah Qing will be back later. You are waiting for our news at home."

Li Yu nodded and sent the two of them away. He went back to the house and filled a bamboo tube with water. He tied his hair up and tied his trouser legs with two cloth belts. After tidying up, he took the bamboo tube, rope and machete, closed the door and walked towards the west mountain with his bow and arrow on his back. go.

When I walked to the door of Butcher He's house, I found that there were no rice fields under the ridge. The slopes were full of sorghum, beans, and beans. Past Butcher He's house was a large bush.

Going further up, there is a long and slender mountain road that winds up, looking like a giant snake from a distance.

The grass on both sides of the mountain road was full of wild flowers. Li Yu pulled some Snake Miemen from the roadside and put them in his back bamboo basket, and continued walking up.

Halfway through, there was a ravine about one foot wide. I stood on the edge of the ravine and looked down. The bottom of the ravine was dark, and the ravine was covered with two logs as thick as an armful.

Li Yu walked across the wooden bridge and climbed up the mountain. She saw several pheasants flying out of the grass. Li Yu took a bow and shot an arrow, hitting the pheasant in the neck. The pheasant fell into the grass. She used a machete to push aside the weeds on both sides and found the pheasant. A pheasant also found a nest of eggs not far away.

Li Yu touched the eggs and pheasants and silently chanted the jade gourd twice. As expected, the eggs and pheasants disappeared.

Li Yu happily climbed up the east mountain, catching three hares and four pheasants along the way. He slowly climbed to the top of a hill and found a trap mark left by a hunter on a trail.

Li Yu looked carefully around the trap and found the excrement left by the wild boar. Li Yu avoided the trap and walked towards a mountain col downhill. After looking around, he found no trace of the wild boar. Instead, he found a crystal clear stream. Ditch.

Li Yu walked to the ditch and saw fish swimming in the ditch. He cut a handful of vines with a machete and made a large net bag. He tied it to a wooden stick and laid it across the ditch. He used the wooden stick to stir the ditch. The water drove the fish toward the net bag.

After seeing the fish enter the net bag, Li Yu lifted the net bag up and saw seven or eight fish weighing one kilogram in the net bag. Li Yu beat the fish to death with a wooden stick and put them into the space. He continued towards the ditch along the edge. Go down.

Walking to a yellow horn tree that was as thick as several people's arms, he saw a pool in the shade. Li Yu walked towards the yellow horn tree and saw a camellia tree, which was covered with heavy camellia berries. .

Li Yu laughed when he recalled the joyful scene when his parents were still alive and would go back to the countryside to extract camellia oleifera fruits and press the oil.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound from behind, and Li Yu heard the beast's breathing sound. Li Yu grabbed the machete and turned around sharply. He saw something about ten meters behind him. A wild boar weighs at least one or two hundred kilograms, has upturned tusks, and looks closely at itself.

The wild boar noticed that Li Yu was moving, lowered his head and screamed, and rushed towards Li Yu quickly. Li Yu stepped back like lightning, raised his machete and slashed at the wild boar. The knife was deeply visible on the wild boar's neck. Bones and pig blood spurted out, and the wild boar howled "Ouch, Ouch, Ouch", turned around and rushed towards Li Yu, and fell to the ground in the middle of the charge.

Li Yu walked to the place where the wild boar fell, grabbed the pig's leg and tried to see if he could lift the wild boar.

Li Yu grabbed the pig's leg and pushed the wild boar off the ground. Seeing that he could move the wild boar, Li Yu felt relieved and silently recited the jade gourd and took the wild boar into the space.

Li Yu walked to the waterhole with a machete, cleaned the blood on his hands, took out a bamboo tube and took a drink of water, then determined the direction and climbed up the nearby mountain.

Li Yu cut a road and climbed up a mountain ridge. He saw a large area of ​​orange-red gem-like wolfberry growing on the mountain ridge. Li Yu was pleasantly surprised and picked a few medlars and put them in his mouth. After biting open, there was a sweet and sour taste.

Li Yu noted the location and walked quickly down the mountain. After crossing the wooden bridge, he took the wild boar out of the space, carried it on his shoulders and walked down the mountain.

When he walked to the door of Butcher He's house, he saw that the door of Butcher He's house was wide open. Li Yu put the bloody wild boar on the weeds on the roadside and shouted at the door: "Uncle He, are you home?"

"Hey! Who is it?" A female voice responded. Li Yu saw a girl with an apple-shaped face and fair skin and a slightly chubby figure walking out. She looked at Li Yu with a smile, "You are the Li Yu next door?" Sister, right? I heard my dad talk about it, Sister Li, do you have anything to do with my dad? "

Seeing her sweet smile, Li Yu also smiled and pointed to the wild boar lying on the weeds on the roadside, "I came back from hunting a wild boar, and I want to ask my uncle to help me tidy it up."

"Wow! What a big wild boar. Sister Li, you are so awesome," Miss He turned around and shouted into the house, "Dad, come out quickly. Sister Li, please help hunt down the wild boar."

Butcher He walked out of the house and scolded: "Xiaoyu, you can't come into the house to speak, and you're not afraid of Sister Li laughing at you."

"Dad, I was wrong! I won't do it next time." Miss He went over and took Butcher He's hand and said coquettishly.

Li Yu looked at the father and daughter and said with a smile: "Uncle He, sister Xiaoyu is cute and cute. I like her just looking at her."

"A crazy girl." Butcher He walked out with a smile and looked at the wild boar placed on the grass. "Oh! Such a big wild boar." Butcher He stepped forward and pulled the wild boar on the ground and asked in disbelief, "Little fish , is this really what you hunted back?"

Li Yu nodded, stepped forward, picked up the wild boar and walked into the house, "Uncle He, let me help you move it in first."

When Butcher He and his daughter saw Li Yu moving the wild boar alone, they believed that Li Yu had brought the wild boar back from hunting.

"Come, I'll carry it with you." Butcher He quickly helped carry it aside and walked towards the slaughterhouse in the yard.

He Xiaoyu began to boil water, butcher He blew air into the pig's belly with a bamboo pipe, and the wild boar's belly bulged. After the water boiled, butcher He began to iron the pig's hair and scrape off the dirt on the pig's skin. Li Yu Help turn over the wild boar.

Butcher He looked at the wild boar and asked Li Yu, "Xiaoyu, how do you plan to sell this wild boar?"

Li Yu grabbed the pig leg and said, "I haven't thought about it yet! Uncle He, do you know where I can sell game in town?"

Butcher He thought for a moment and said, "The grandson of Mr. Huang in the town is one month old and he wants to hold a running banquet for three days. How about I take you to sell his house?"

"Okay! Thank you so much, Uncle He."

"You kid, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Our two families are neighbors now!"

He Xiaoyu looked at Li Yu and smiled sweetly, "Yes! Sister Li, we are neighbors now! Let my father help you sell the wild boar to Huang Yuan's family."

Li Yu smiled and nodded, "Thank you sister Xiaoyu!"

Butcher He chopped out the wild boar and left the internal organs, and drove the bullock cart towards Qingshui Town with Li Yu.

When I arrived at Qingshui Town, I walked for a quarter of an hour from the town entrance and entered an alleyway. I saw a large house with green bricks and green tiles, which was very lively with lights and colorful decorations.

Butcher He drove the bullock cart to the back door and talked to the boy guarding the door. The boy nodded and went in to report. After a while, a man in his forties who looked like a steward came out.

Butcher He smiled and went up to salute and said, "Manager Huang, my niece's family hunted a wild boar and brought it to you to see."

"Let me take a look," Manager Huang walked to the oxcart and took a look at the wild boar meat. "Yeah! It's quite fresh. I just want to serve the young master with wine. I'll give you 20 cents a pound and take it to the kitchen!"

Butcher He bowed and saluted: "Okay, thank you very much, Manager Huang."

Li Yu and Butcher He quickly helped carry the wild boar meat into the kitchen. After weighing, there was still more than a hundred kilograms.

Manager Huang smiled and said to Butcher He: "The running water mat will be set up for three days. If we hunt other game in these two days, we can bring it over."

Butcher He pointed at Li Yu and smiled at Manager Huang: "Manager Huang, if there is any prey, let my niece bring it to you."

Manager Huang nodded and paid the boy to send the two of them out.

After getting on the bus and going home, Li Yu took two hundred copper coins and handed them to Butcher He. He smiled and bowed, "Uncle He, you accept these copper coins as my hard-earned money."

Butcher He politely declined, "How can I ask you to pay for such a trivial matter?"

"Uncle He, there will be many times when I need your help in the future! If you don't want it, I won't dare to come to you for help in the future."

"Okay, uncle, I'll accept it." Seeing that Li Yu insisted on giving it, Butcher He had no choice but to accept the copper plate.

He Xiaoyu took out the cleaned internal organs, returned a basket of taro, and handed it to Li Yu, "Sister Li, go home and cook out the suet and flower oil, and I'll take the taro home for you to burn as fat sausage."

Li Yu divided the pork belly and liver into half and handed them to He Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, you can keep these to eat."

He Xiaoyu frowned and waved her hands quickly, "Sister Li, I don't want it. My family often eats it and I'm tired of it."

Seeing that she really didn't like it, Li Yu took it back with a smile, "Thank you, Xiaoyu, for cleaning it up for me."

When Li Yu arrived home, he saw that the pot was cold and the stove was cold. Li Qing and Li Mei showed no signs of coming back.

Li Yu took a hare and a pheasant from the space, took them to the butcher He's house and called out He Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, take these rabbits and pheasants to eat."

He Xiaoyu readily accepted it and said with a smile: "Thank you, Sister Xiaoyu, I'm not polite."

Li Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone, please do as you like. You are busy, I will go back."
