The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Hearing someone talking, Zhao Jun knew it was someone at home, so he immediately got off the kang and went out to take a look.

"Brother Tie." After seeing the appearance of the person coming clearly, Zhao Jun called him brother.

"Zhao Jun is also staying at home." The man responded. His name was Wei Tie, and he and Wei Jin, who hunted with Wang Dalong, were uncles and brothers.

"Tie Zi, come inside." Wang Meilan greeted Wei Tiedao, returning the kettle while saying so.

"Yes, Brother Tie, you get on the kang." Zhao Jun let Wei Tie into the room and asked him to get on the kang and sit down.

Wei Tie seemed a little restrained. He just put his buttocks on the edge of the kang and held his hands together.

At this time, Wang Meilan came in with a teapot and placed it on the side of the kang table closest to Wei Tie.

"Tiezi, drink some hot water, keep warm, warm."

"Hey, thank you, Auntie." Wei Tie said politely.

Wang Meilan and Zhao Jun were sitting on the other side of the kang table. They knew that Wei Tielai must have something to do. As the elder, Wang Meilan said, "Tiezi, why are you so idle today?"

This is a polite saying in the Northeast, but it actually means asking: What are you doing here?

Wei Tie's face was red from the cold as he walked along, but at this moment he could feel his face was a little hot, so he just said: "Auntie, I..."

As soon as the word "I" came out of his mouth, Wei Tie stopped talking, as if he was embarrassed.

"Brother Tie." At this time, Zhao Jun on the side spoke, "We all live together in this village, so if you need anything, just say it. If we two can help, we definitely can't let your trip go in vain. "

When Zhao Jun said this, Wei Tie's expression softened slightly and he said: "Aunt, Zhao Jun, I've said it."

"Ah, Tiezi, just tell me if you have anything to say." Wang Meilan saw his uneasiness and gave him a positive answer.

Wei Tie said: "Auntie, you also know that my wife has been ill for several years, and no matter how many remedies I tried, it didn't work."

Although what he said was obscured by clouds and fog, people who understood it would understand it as soon as they heard it.

At this time, Wang Meilan and Zhao Jun had an idea, but they didn't catch up with their son in everything. The mother and son had a tacit understanding and didn't speak. They just looked at Wei Tie together, waiting for him to continue.

Just listen to Wei Tiedao: "The elders say that a black blind man's nose can cure epilepsy. I heard that Zhao Jun has been treating black blind men a lot this winter. Can you sell me a black blind man's nose?"

Wei Tie's daughter-in-law Pang Li has epilepsy and has been ill for seven or eight years.

Wei Tie is a man who has stayed with Pang Li for so many years, searching for folk remedies to treat Pang Li's illness.

Last year, I came up with a folk recipe from nowhere. I beat the newborn puppy to death, made it bleed, and steamed it in a pot. It was said that it could cure epilepsy.

But after his wife finished eating, not only did she not get better, but she got worse.

The black bear nose, dried with tiles, crushed and taken with rice wine, can cure epilepsy.

This is a recipe passed down from generation to generation.

Wei Tie had tried this recipe on Pang Li earlier, but he didn't feel it was of much use.

Just last night, Pang Li fell ill again and made a fuss all night long.

Today, Wei Tie had been thinking about it all morning, but he was really at his wits' end, so he wanted to try another old trick to see if a miracle could happen.

The last black blind man's nose he used came from the black blind man who Wei Jin and Wang Dalong fought. With Wei Jin's connection, the black blind man's nose was given to him for free.

But Wang Dalong and the others have not been targeting the blind man recently. Seeing that the Wang family's dog gang has dispersed, it will be even less possible for the blind man to be killed in the future.

Therefore, Wei Tie thought about it a lot before he visited the Zhao family.

"Ah, this..." Wang Meilan was about to speak after listening to Wei Tie's words, but was interrupted by Wei Tie.

Wei Tie rubbed his hands and said: "Auntie, you know that I have spent all the money I have earned over the years to treat my wife's doctor. Now I only have more than three yuan in hand.

This black blind man’s nose, I’ll give it to you on credit for ten yuan. When I sell the yellow leaf, I’ll send you the money. "

That Wei Tie can say this shows that he is a real person.

Because if he didn't stop Wang Meilan, Wang Meilan would definitely say that they lived as neighbors and had nothing to do with money.

But Wei Tie didn't. He deliberately stopped Wang Meilan and said honestly that he had no money and wanted to get credit first.

This was done very neatly.

"Oh." Wang Meilan sighed, got up and went to the outer room, took a yellow paper bag from the cabinet against the wall, walked back into the room and stood in front of Wei Tie.

Wei Tie hurriedly got off the kang.

Wang Meilan handed over the yellow paper bag and said, "Tiezi, don't talk about money. It's important to treat Pang Li. Take this back. Auntie gave it to you."

"This is not possible." Wei Tie waved his hand and took a step back.

"What's wrong?" Wang Meilan put the yellow paper bag into Wei Tie's hand and said, "I've dried this, you can just use it when you go back."

"Thank you, Auntie." Wei Tie squeezed the yellow paper bag, raised his head and said, "I will definitely send you the money later."

"Alas!" Wang Meilan sighed heavily and said to Wei Tie, "Tiezi, I don't know whether I should say it or not?"

Wei Tie was stunned, not knowing what Wang Meilan wanted to say to him, but he said: "Aunt, you can tell me."

Wang Meilan opened the lid of the teapot in front of Wei Tie, and the heat of the hot water in the teapot came out.

After handing the jar to Wei Tie's hand, Wang Meilan said, "Tiezi, when Zhao Jun was here, he told me that you won't make a fortune by beating yellow leaves."

"Ah!" Wei Tie didn't expect Wang Meilan to say this to him, and his expression changed after hearing this.

The yellow leaves are the skin of the weasel. There are too many legends about this animal in the Northeast.

But some people make a living by beating yellow leaves, and they make a lot of money. A round skin, that is, the skin of a male weasel, can cost more than thirty these days.

The skin of a female weasel can also be sold for nearly thirty.

The key is that there are a lot of these things, all over the mountains and plains. And it's easy to fight, not as strenuous as clamping the big leather.

Let's take Wei Tie for example. He can draw more than fifty yellow leaves in one winter, which costs nearly two thousand yuan.

But in the end, I couldn't save a cent. Either I had to spend money here, or I needed to pay for my daughter-in-law's medical treatment and prescription over there.

After thinking about what Wang Meilan said, Wei Tie didn't want to drink water. He put down the teapot and said to Wang Meilan: "Aunt, I've heard people say, but if I don't put this in, what else can I do?"

"You can do whatever you want!" Wang Meilan advised: "You can use the sledge and go to the forest farm to pull the cover. In the spring and autumn, you run around the mountains and collect mountain goods. You won't earn as much as you do now, but you can't spend as much."

"This..." Wei Tie didn't know what to say.

Just listen to Wang Meilan, your financial path is cut off. He has to go to the forest farm to pull traps, but he can't earn more than 200 yuan in one winter. How can he earn more by beating yellow leaves?

But don't listen to Wang Meilan. They just gave you a black bear nose, and they told you something with good intentions. How can you refuse?

At this time, Zhao Jun, who was sitting aside and had not spoken for a long time, spoke: "Brother Tie, isn't my sister-in-law at home waiting for you to prepare the medicine?"

"Ah, ah, that's right." Wei Tie stood up and said to Wang Meilan, "Aunt, I have to go back quickly, Pang Li is still waiting for me at home.

I'll take this black blind man's nose first, and I'll definitely send you the money after a while. "

With that said, Wei Tie walked out. Wang Meilan and Zhao Jun got up and walked him to the door of the house.

Wei Tie hurriedly said: "Auntie, don't come out. It's cold outside. I'm going back first."

Watching Wei Tie leave, Wang Meilan turned to glare at Zhao Jun.

Well, we do have this saying in the mountains, and there is really no way to make a fortune by cutting yellow leaves. No matter how much you earn, you have to disperse.

This paragraph is a foreshadowing, but I guarantee that there will be no fantasy plot in this book from beginning to end. This paragraph is just the superstition of a little old lady in the countryside.
