Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

Handing his chrysanthemum bag to his eldest brother, he walked towards the road with his two sons in his arms. .

"Walk slowly, it's very slippery." Xiulan said as she pulled Xiaoxia along.

The path in the forest was covered with withered yellow leaves, which were very slippery to walk on. From time to time, a mountain breeze blew, and leaves fell one by one. This scene was also interesting.

After walking a few steps, he inevitably slipped and sat on the ground.

"Hehe~"

"Wrestling!"

Luming and Du Heng in his arms laughed foolishly, thinking it was very fun.

"I should have let you two walk by yourselves." Lin Heng looked at them, and he didn't fall even if he fell.

In fact, if he hadn't held them and had a place to hold them, he wouldn't have fallen.

"No, no, no!"

"Hungry, no!"

The two little guys shook their heads and said in a baby voice.

Lin Heng ignored them and walked quickly to the road.

He asked them to wait there, and went back to pick Xiaoxia up.

Soon, a group of people happily returned to Hongfeng Mountain. The sun was shining brightly, and it was particularly warm to walk on the road.

His elder brother and sister-in-law did not go back either, so they had lunch at Hongfeng Mountain at noon.

Opening the door and walking to the house above, Father Lin was making persimmon cakes.

"Dad, didn't you say that the remaining wine was for making wine? Why are you still making persimmon cakes?" Lin Heng looked at his father and asked.

"Make more for the children, they like sweets." Father Lin smiled and said.

"Okay then." Lin Heng nodded and agreed.

Walking into the house, he took out two bamboo dustpans and spread out the autumn chrysanthemums he and Xiulan picked to dry.

Mother Lin had already gone into the house to make lunch.

At noon, it was naturally simple rice, fried shredded potatoes, cabbage, and ham.

Several people at the table drank two glasses of rice wine. Although it is said that this thing is not good for the body, it always feels like something is missing if you don't drink it.

"Brother, let's go to hunt golden roosters in the afternoon." Lin Yue invited him during dinner.

"Okay, let's go in the evening." Lin Heng nodded and said.

In fact, not only his eldest brother invited him, but also his uncle, third uncle, and even Tian Baishun from the village.

They all felt that they were lucky to be with him. Not to mention the big ones, they would definitely get the small ones.

After dinner, Lin Heng looked at everyone and said, "Come on, let's go up the mountain to dig two ginsengs and see how big they are."

The ginseng on the mountain has been planted for three years. This year, it bloomed and harvested a large number of ginseng seeds.

Liu Juan looked at Lin Heng and said, "Then you let your eldest brother go with you. We will go back first and dry the chrysanthemums."

She only took her youngest son with her. Lin Wei and Lin Tao were still here.

Lin's father also said, "I will go up with you. Let's collect the honey. It's time to collect it now."

"Okay, let's go together." Lin Heng nodded.

A group of them went up to the cabin on the top of the mountain, opened the door and took out the table and benches. Xiulan and Lin's mother took care of the children here and boiled a pot of water for tea.

Lin Heng took a small medicine hoe, Lin's father took a basin, and the three of them went into the ginseng garden together.

There were many weeds in the ginseng garden, but there were no saplings, etc. These were all dealt with in the spring.

If they were not dealt with at all, ginseng would not grow as fast as these saplings.

"This one is okay, it looks big." Lin's father found a ginseng and said.

"Okay."

Lin Heng came over with the medicine hoe and dug out a rough outline in a few seconds, and then dug out the ginseng with his hands twice.

"Not bad, it can weigh one or two pounds when wet." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Even the ginseng under the forest that was not taken care of grew much faster than the wild ginseng.

"Well, it can be sold after another two years." Lin's father nodded.

"Then dig five more, two for each of us, and take them back to make wine or stew meat." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"One is enough, and we can't eat more." Lin Yue shook his head and said.

"It's okay, I'm going to kill sheep these two days, and you can use them to stew lamb when the time comes." Lin Heng waved his hand and dug out five more.

The ginseng was pretty good, which showed that the place he chose was right and it was very suitable for ginseng growth.

"Let's go, let's go and collect honey." Lin's father gave Lin Heng a bee-proof hat.

Lin Heng nodded, gave the ginseng and medicine hoe to his eldest brother, and then wore the hat and went to the beehive.

The forest was very cool, and he was already familiar with harvesting honey. He opened the beehive and cut off the honeycomb. The action was gentle and would not attract bees to attack.

After a while, he finished harvesting the honey and left with his father.

"This time, we can also have more than four pounds of honey." Lin Heng said, because it was autumn, he did not cut all the bees.

"That's enough. Two buckets is enough." Father Lin said with a smile. He was happy as long as there was a harvest.

Taking the honey to the cabin, Xiaoxia was the first to find the honey. She ran over to Lin Heng and said coquettishly, "Dad, I want to eat honey."

"All of them." Lin Heng nodded, sat down, and cut a piece of honeycomb for Xiaoxia with a knife.

The bees they raised were all made of natural wax to make honeycombs. They did not use artificial paraffin wax to store honeycombs. It would not cause cancer, so all of them could be eaten.

"Thank you, Dad!"

"Thank you, Second Dad!"

The children who got the honey all happily put it in their mouths, gurgling and thanking. The sweet honey made them jump happily.

"You have one too." Lin Heng cut another piece for Xiulan.

"The children can eat it, why give it to me." Xiulan wanted to refuse, but Lin Heng had already stuffed it directly into her mouth.

"Eat it quickly, I didn't know you liked it too." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Xiulan showed a helpless but sweet smile, puffed up her cheeks and ate the honey.

After giving everyone a piece, Lin Heng sat down to drink tea.

The autumn breeze on the top of the mountain was gentle, accompanied by the rustling sound of leaves, and a cup of good tea, it was simply refreshing.

At this mountain top, looking up, the nearby forest is the most beautiful, with red maple leaves, cotinus coggygria, yellow mountain poplar, and various colors complementing each other.

Lin Heng likes to sit under the forest and feel all this.

The children are playing around. Mother and Xiulan were chatting nearby, and he was also chatting with his father and eldest brother.

After resting for more than an hour, Lin Yue looked at Lin Heng and said, "Brother, let's go up the mountain?"

"Okay, let's go." Lin Heng smiled and nodded.

After going down the mountain, Xiulan also decided to go back. If she was alone, it would be inconvenient to go home with three children.

"I'll go with you. I'll go see if there are any yams to dig back." Father Lin looked at Lin Heng and said.

"Okay, it's still early today." Lin Heng nodded. One more person means one more hope of hunting prey.

Father Lin nodded and packed up briefly. Lin Heng packed up the wild chrysanthemums and took them with him. He went to the truck to get a double-barreled shotgun and walked back when his father came out.

This shotgun was originally placed in the car for self-defense when going out, but now it can also be used for hunting.

After returning home, Lin Heng took out the compound bow and carried it on his back. He took Xiongba and went hunting with his eldest brother and father.

Their route was to Shuijinggou, and from there they walked towards Sanchagou, looking for prey such as badgers, golden roosters, and hares on the ridges in that area.

The three big men walked very fast together, and they reached the top of the mountain in half an hour, and then they went their separate ways to look for prey.

The leaves of the trees had not fallen yet, so the view was not very wide.

Lin Heng led Xiongba to search in the forest, and it took more than half an hour. In addition to seeing a few small yams, the largest animals were a few birds.

After a while, Lin Heng came to the top of the mountain and walked towards another ditch.

Suddenly, a gunshot was heard from the ditch not far away. He quickly turned his head to take a look. He knew in his heart that it was his eldest brother who fired the gun, and he didn't know if he hit anything.

"Ah! Ah!!"

Just as he was about to move forward, a burst of yellow muntjacs' calls came from the mountain ravine in front.

Xiongba pricked up his ears to listen, and Lin Heng looked around and said, "Let's go, go over there and have a look."

The sound was far away, but he still wanted to go over there and try, just in case he was lucky enough to encounter it.

"Alas, things are not going as planned, dog!"

After walking halfway up the mountain, Lin Heng shook his head helplessly, as if this thing could sense him.

Before they got close, the call of the yellow muntjac was far away, as if it could sense them.

Unknowingly, it was getting dark, and Lin Heng was a little helpless. He didn't even see a squirrel. His luck was not good today.

After walking for a while, he was going to go back to the edge of the wheat field to see if there were any hares or something, so that he wouldn't be empty-handed if there were any.

At this moment, a strong fanning sound suddenly appeared in the sky.

He looked up and was stunned. A large group of wild geese formed a three-person V-shaped formation and flew southward.

"Damn!"

"Awooo!"

Lin Heng and Xiong Ba couldn't help but drool at such a large group of meat.

"These things are flying towards Sanchagou. Will they rest there tonight?"

Lin Heng muttered to himself. He patted his thigh and felt it was a pity. If he decided to go to Sanchagou today, he might be able to shoot wild geese.

The places where wild geese rest on their way south are near rivers and lakes. They were shot in Sanchagou last year, and they can definitely be shot today.

Shaking his head, he walked in the direction of returning. It was too late to go there now. Unless he traveled at night, he might be able to intercept them before they took off tomorrow morning.

Walking back, it was already dark, and he still didn't encounter anything. He saw wild boar footprints, but they were not fresh.

Finally, he found his father and eldest brother at the agreed place on the beam.

"Brother, how did you get?" Lin Heng asked hurriedly after approaching.

Lin Yue turned around and showed the two golden roosters hanging on his waist, and said with a smile: "Lucky, I met two golden roosters."

"Alas, my luck is not good, I didn't catch anything, and I didn't even hear the call of the golden rooster and bamboo chicken." Lin Heng shook his head helplessly.

Lin's father also deliberately laughed: "Then I am better than you. I harvested two yams today, which can add up to five or six pounds."

"I plan to go to the persimmon tree and take a look, and then go to the bamboo forest." Lin Heng looked at the two and said.

He was still a little unwilling.

Lin Yue nodded: "No problem, I also want to see if there are any white rice seeds. It stands to reason that there are a lot of white rice seeds on the persimmon trees these days."

Even if you pick the persimmon trees, some of them will be out of reach, and there will still be civets to eat them.

The three of them took a detour and looked at three persimmon trees in a row, but they didn't see the beloved civets.

On the way, Lin Heng told his father and elder brother about seeing the wild geese.

After hearing this, Lin Yue clapped his hands and said: "I just said that Tian Baishun can't be found these days. This old man is definitely guarding the wild geese in Sancha Valley."

"Is he in Sanchagou?" Lin Heng's eyes widened. This old boy is so arrogant.

Lin Yue affirmed: "It must be there. He asked me to go hunting before. I haven't seen anyone when I looked for him in the past two days. He said he went up the mountain to guard the prey."

"Then he will probably gain something." Lin's father said enviously.

"The wild goose meat is very delicious. Please pay attention in the past two days. If he catches too many, I will buy one and bring it back to eat." Lin Heng said, he really wanted to eat the wild goose meat.

"It's okay. Let's eat golden chicken to satisfy our craving tonight and drink two cups." Lin Yue said with a smile.

"I can do that. Anyway, I won't be polite to you." Lin Heng chuckled.

Father Lin patted him and said, "Do you think I will be polite to my son?"

They went down the mountain and searched in the bamboo forest. They didn't find the bamboo chicken and went home.

The eldest brother invited them to eat golden chicken. Father Lin gave some yams to his eldest son and went back to Hongfeng Mountain to call Mother Lin.

Lin Heng also returned home first. Xiulan and the others were still playing in the main room. It was only nine o'clock and they were not asleep yet.

"Have you eaten?" Lin Heng asked with a smile.

"After eating, I left some noodles uncut. I'll make them for you when you come back." Xiulan looked at him and said.

"Big brother asked us to go over and eat golden roosters. He shot two. I didn't catch anything today." Lin Heng said with a smile and spread his hands.

Xiulan nodded: "It's normal that you didn't get hit. You eat an apple and squeeze it. I'll cook some food for the dog and feed it, and then we'll go over to eat."

"Okay." Lin Heng nodded in agreement, first ate an apple, and then ate the remaining scallion pancakes from the morning.

After feeding the dog, he took his wife and children to his eldest brother's house. He would never be asked to ask for dinner multiple times, and he would go in advance if he said he wanted to go.

"You guys have some snacks first. I've already killed the golden rooster. I'll chop it up and your sister-in-law will cook it soon." Lin Yue said, bringing some walnuts, peanuts, melon seeds, kiwis and apples.

Lin Heng nodded and ate another kiwi fruit, while Xiulan went to the kitchen to help.

Soon my parents came over, the meal was about to be ready, and the rich smell of meat came from the kitchen.

Sister-in-law Liu Juan was not economical at all. She fried the two golden roosters and filled a small pot.

"Eat them all! You're welcome!"

After the food was put on the table and the drinks were poured, Liu Juan said with a smile.

Lin Hengshi was the most rude. He added a piece of golden chicken and put it in his mouth first. The rich chicken aroma made him almost swallow it whole.

"It's delicious. I haven't eaten golden chicken for a long time." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Then let's go hunting again in two days. The golden rooster is very easy to fight during this period." Lin Yue said with a smile.

"Yes, okay." Lin Heng nodded and said, "Everyone, please eat quickly."

As he said that, he gave his wife and children a few more meaty pieces. (End of chapter)
