Chapter 413 Final Destination
"You boy, this time is quite accurate!"
When he opened the fence gate and let Chen Xiuqing in, Lu Lv said angrily, "Come here when the wooden horse is ready. When the wooden horse is not ready, there will be no shadows. Did you do it on purpose?"
"No, it's not because the weather is about to change. I was busy going into the mountains to fight for a few days, and I was still chopping in the yard all day today!"
Chen Xiuqing's tone was full of exhaustion.
For the firewood every winter, it always takes a lot of energy.
Lu Luben didn't mean to blame him, he was just joking, seeing that Chen Xiuqing was really tired, he couldn't help suggesting, "Why don't you buy some coal like me?"
"I can't bear it! The money spent on buying these coals can cover three months' wages of the forest farm workers... I have to save this money!" Chen Xiuqing shook her head again and again: "There are so many logs on the mountain, and I can't use them in a carriage. How long will it take to cut down a car and bring it back, and a car can be burned for a few days, there is no need!"
"Yo, you can live a good life!"
Lu Lu said with a smile: "Then have you ever thought that if you spend the time spent hunting scorpions on hunting, you may earn more than buying coal? For example, if you are lucky, you can go up the mountain and get a sable , didn’t many of them come back?”
Chen Xiuqing froze for a moment, took off her dog fur hat, and scratched her steaming head: "That's right! I'm going to find Meng Zhaohua right now..." After saying that, he turned and left.
Lu Lu hurriedly pulled him back: "Why are you in a hurry, go when you can't do anything in another day! This whole winter, it's impossible to run up the mountain every day, isn't it, people can't stand it, right!"
Chen Xiuqing nodded, and suddenly looked back at Lu Lu: "Then there's nothing you can do when it's snowing heavily, and you can play slapstick when you're resting!"
Now it was Lu Lu's turn to be dazed.
He now has 1 reasons to believe that he was indeed deceived by Chen Xiuqing's simple appearance, which is too calculating.
"You're right!"
For the first time, Lu Lu felt that the reason why he chose to buy coal was because he was lazy, not because coal was more durable.
The two entered the house together. The temperature inside the house was like two completely different worlds from the outside. The house was warm, more like the end of spring. As soon as the door closed, Lu Lu took off Su En's jacket. Come down and put it on the kangqin at the top of the kang.
Not long after, Chen Xiuqing also felt warm, and took off the thick cotton coat on her body.
Now he is more and more envious of Lu Lu's woodcuts.
Under normal circumstances, in order to keep warm better, the temperature of the houses in the Great Wilderness rises faster when the kang is used, and the area of the room is usually not large.Like Lu Lu's woodcuts, although there are so many rooms and the space is quite large, it seems that there is no such problem, and it is much warmer than his own home.
On the one hand, the insulation effect of the wood carvings is really good, and on the other hand, it is the kang stove set outside.
Coal is not only more resistant to burning than firewood, but its calorific value is not of the same grade.
In these years, in order to save firewood and better keep warm, there are still many families who sleep together on a kang.
Usually, those with better conditions will be given their own room and kang when their children grow up.
But in the mountains, the conditions are very poor. There is only a big kang in the house. When the son grows up and gets married, it is separated by a bed of curtains. At night, the young couple makes some strange noises, which are well known and taken for granted. thing.
At Chen Xiuqing's house, he had to thank his father. When the house was built, the conditions were not bad. There were three kangs in the house, but they could be separated.
When he came here today, he saw that the sky was full of clouds, and seeing that a heavy snow was coming, and the scorpion had been burned for a while, he came here specifically to see if the wooden horse was ready.
Chen Xiuyu was already busy in the kitchen. Lu Lu went into the kitchen to help prepare the meals, and greeted Chen Xiuqing to eat together. Then, Lu Lu took the collar, picked out a roe deer belt, and asked Chen Xiuqing to go to Zhao Yongke's house together.
When they arrived at Zhao Yongke's house, the whole family was gnawing meat on the kang.
Zhao Tuanqing went to the mountain again today to hunt a roe deer and came back, which is also a test to see if the two Oroqen hounds work well.
Seeing Lu Lu and Chen Xiuqing coming in, Zhao Yongke hurriedly asked Wu Nakan to add more roe deer meat to the pot where the roe deer meat was cooking on the brazier, poured wine for Lu Lu and Chen Xiuqing, and insisted on eating some more.
The two of them couldn't refuse, so they had to go to the kang.
Roe deer skins had been used to make mats on the kang, and the big kang was also warmed up, and they ate lively and lively for more than half an hour.
After a meal of wine, Zhao Tuanqing and Zhao Yongke's eyes fell on the six collars brought by Lu Lu. They picked them up, looked at them in their hands, and kept saying yes.
"Dogs are partners. They help us find prey, help us hunt wild animals, and protect us when we are in danger. Of course, we should also take good care of them!"
Zhao Tuanqing has raised many dogs in his life, but none of them can have a good death. They all died in the fight with prey. He has experienced too many life and death partings with dogs. Xiao Lu thinks that many of my good dogs don’t have to die and can stay with me for a long time. I’ve been hunting all my life, why haven’t I thought about this?
Maybe, with one more vest, the wild boar won't pick it up.With such a collar, those lynxes, wolves or leopards will not be bitten off their throats and necks... Sigh! "
Zhao Tuanqing sighed deeply, his tone full of remorse.
Maybe because he drank a little too much, he sighed a lot tonight.
"It's said that a good dog should die on the mountain, and die in a fight with prey. It's bullshit! If it dies, it's of no use to the dog. What it earns is not the name of the dog's owner. At most, who ever Raised a very good dog, how powerful, died while doing something... What's the use of this bullshit?
For a hunter, his dog is no different from his family. Is it worth it to exchange such a life for such a false name?In the final analysis, I still blame myself for not being able to protect the dog! "
Lu Lu didn't interrupt, but just listened silently.
In the past, from the bottom of his heart, he just thought that the hunting dog was just an auxiliary hunting tool for the hunter. No matter how intelligent it was, it was a dog after all.
But now when he met Yuan Bao, his mood was completely different. It was because this dog built a nest by the grave after the death of its owner and guarded it for more than two years.
When he learned of this situation, in his heart, he was no longer just a hunting dog as an auxiliary tool for hunting, but more like a living person, even stronger than many people in terms of loyalty and friendship.
From then on, Lu Lu also wanted to protect this dog who recognized himself as the master, hoping that it could go through this life safely in his hands.
This is a deeper emotion than the death of one's hunting dog, red eyes, a few tears, and a few howls.
Therefore, he thought of protecting these dogs who followed him through life and death, thought of protective vests and collars, and tried to protect the dogs as much as he could.
The hunter and the hunting dog should protect each other, instead of watching it die in the fight with wild animals, and regard this as the so-called final destination, even if it is a dog, it should not have such a tragic ending .
As Zhao Tuanqing said, life is gone, those false names are useless.
Just like the military dogs of later generations, unless they die unexpectedly, these dogs are too old to serve, and there will be a special pension base, and those who don’t want to leave will stay in the original army for the rest of their lives, and others will be adopted. Those who don't meet the requirements are not eligible for adoption.
This is the final destination it should have.
From Lu Lu's point of view, the relationship between military dogs and dog trainers is the same as the relationship between hunting dogs and hunters.
Wu Nakan knew the purpose of Lu Lu bringing these collars. When the big men were talking, she cut out strips of the roe deer skin that Lu Lu brought as needed, and nailed some strips along the edges with nails. The small hole came out and was protected on the inside of the collar. Under the oil lamp, it was sewn with ribs.
Six collars, which took her almost two hours to complete.
It was already dark, Lu Lu and Chen Xiuqing each took their own skis, came out of Zhao Tuanqing's house, and when they returned to Caodianzi, the oil lamp was on as always in the wooden bedroom.
Chen Xiuqing didn't stop, took the two ski poles from Lu Lu, and rode her horse back to Xiushantun.Lu Lu also put his two pairs of wooden horses and ski poles into the warehouse.
Chen Xiuyu, who had already fallen asleep and was awakened by the noise outside, hurriedly put on a cotton coat, and came out of the room with a flashlight.
I went to the Yanwo Island Farm once, and saw how convenient Lei Meng and the others were to use flashlights. When I returned to Xiushantun, when I went to the district, she went to the state-run store and bought two, and bought several pairs of batteries for storage.
Lu Lu simply asked her to light it with a flashlight, got some coal and put it into the kang stove, and then went back to the house, washed his feet with the hot water that Chen Xiuyu had kept in the iron pot, and poured out the dirty water wearing 袼褙 shoes , closed the door, and lay down on the warm kang.
When I slept in the middle of the night, the north wind was a little bit tighter, blowing through the treetops, making a whining sound, and the crackling sound of the roof could be heard sporadically.
Is it snowing?
Lu Lu helped Chen Xiuyu cover the quilt, got up and put on a cotton coat, went to the living room and opened the door, outside there were snow particles, rustling everywhere.
This is the first snow this year.
From then on, in the next few months, the entire Great Wilderness will be covered in silver.
"Well... I should be able to practice skiing tomorrow. I don't know if Qingzi's skiing skills are really the same as he boasted! Don't lie to me!"
Lu Lu then closed the door and went back to lie down on the kang, still thinking about skiing.It is better to have a good person pointing you out than to find out by yourself, and you will take a lot less detours.
However, it was so hard to wait until dawn, what Lu Lu didn't expect was that when he went outside to look, he suddenly became disappointed, the sky was still hazy, except for the whistling cold wind, there was no snow falling.
In the middle of the night last night, about two or three centimeters thick layer fell down. You can see white, but it can't even cover the weeds and gravel on the ground.
I just wanted to practice skiing, but I couldn't do it at all.
The edge of the small river on the meadow in front of the door was covered with a layer of ice about two centimeters, and the water was still flowing.
The water bubbles of Caodianzi are sealed on the surface, but they are not thick.
It’s already the end of October and it’s about to enter November. In some years, it started snowing before the corn was put away at the end of September. This year it feels delayed a lot.
Well...it's better to go into the mountains and continue hunting small animals, let's see the terrain and environment!
Lu Lu went back to the house, and Chen Xiuyu was already making breakfast. He was about to go hunting in the mountains, but Chen Xiuyu said: "Brother Lu, after dinner, let's store the vegetables in the vegetable field in the cellar!"
Lu Lu was taken aback for a moment, and thought to himself: I forgot about this one!
The scallions, cabbage and cabbage in the field must be stored in the cellar in time, otherwise it will be frozen for a few days, and the most cold-resistant Chinese cabbage will not be able to withstand it.
The cellar has to be climbed up and down by a ladder. It is a troublesome thing for one person to pile vegetables in it, and it requires the cooperation of two people.
It's time to stock up on vegetables in the cellar.
Lu Lu immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, let's put those vegetables in the cellar today. If it's still early, let's borrow a car and go to the district to buy some radishes, potatoes, sweet potatoes, noodle melons and other things." When the vegetables come back, there are red beans, kidney beans, etc., and I will do my best to deal with this matter today."
About hoarding vegetables, Chen Xiuyu wanted to speak up several times in the past two days, but seeing that Lu Lu was either busy going into the mountains every day, or busy picking up his hunting gear, she kept holding back in her heart.
If she hadn't been pregnant with a child, she would have done all these things by herself.
But Lu Lu emphasized to him more than once that during pregnancy, the first three months and the last three months are very important, and there is nothing she can do about it. Seeing Lu Lu's serious appearance, she doesn't dare to mess around, and she can only find herself on weekdays. Do whatever light work you can.
Seeing the snow falling today, and looking at the cloudy sky, it is very likely that there will be a heavy snowfall. When the snow is covered, things will be more troublesome. Moreover, the frozen vegetables are not easy to preserve, so she has no choice but to speak .
Seeing Lu Lu's full agreement, Chen Xiuyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, with a bright smile on her face.
