Chapter 24 After the 24th New Year

Wu Bo didn't care about this either. The people he had seen the most before were people like Li Xiwa, and he was already very used to it.

There was no prey and nothing else to do. It was cold and Wu Bo rarely went out.

The Wu family just stayed in the house, sewing and mending, or teaching Da Mai to read and write, or playing with the little buds.

On New Year's Eve, the aroma of meat from the Wu family spread all the way to the ground.

On this day, every household would see some fishy food, but it didn't attract anyone's attention.

Zhao Lian thawed the rabbit legs, chopped them into small pieces, and fried them in a pan for a few times. The aroma came out instantly.

Then cut some vegetable dumplings at home into pieces, sprinkle them with some soybean oil and salt, add water and stew them together.

There are no unnecessary or complicated seasonings, everything is purely natural.

But because it has a rare meaty taste, everyone finds it fragrant.

Damai and the others stayed in the kitchen unable to move.

Xiao Xiya was on the bed, stretching his little neck to look.

Grandma Wu smiled and nodded her little nose: "Don't look at it, you can't eat it even if you look at it."

Xiao Xiya stiffened up and looked at her breasts in disbelief. Can't she eat this?

Grandma Wu was amused by her little expression: "But I can't eat it."

Xiao Xiya was so greedy that saliva flowed from her eyes, feeling extremely aggrieved.

Grandma Wu suddenly felt distressed and overjoyed.

He hurriedly hugged the little man and comforted him: "Xiya, be good, don't worry, you can eat it when Xiya grows again. The milk is reserved for Xiya. If you can't leave it, don't worry."

The little bud looked at her breasts with sobs and sobs. How much longer will it grow?

Do you really want to keep it for her?

Can she really eat it?

She was not that big, but her expressions were so rich that Grandma Wu almost laughed out loud.

Why is this little girl so greedy?

But no matter what, Xiya couldn't eat the meat after all. He was so greedy that his saliva flowed out from his eyes and he couldn't stop it.

The rice cereal is no longer fragrant.

The villain was so aggrieved that he sobbed and felt sad even when he fell asleep.

The whole family found it heartbreaking and funny.

After the New Year, an unprecedented cold wave ushered in.

It was so cold that people didn't even dare to get out of bed.

Grandma Wu called Damai and others to her bed, and the five grandsons and grandsons slept together.

Zhao Lian and Wu Bo also hugged tightly, protecting Xiya in their arms.

The family did not dare to save firewood anymore, so a brazier was lit in the house.

But it was of little use. I was still shivering from the cold and couldn't sleep the whole night.

Fortunately, this cold wave only lasted for two days.

During this period, there were also a few cold medicines and a piece of old ginger signed by Xiya. The family got through the cold wave safely.

Two days later, the heavy snow stopped.

Wang Shangui came to ask Wu Bo and the people in the village to clear the snow on the main road and on the roof of the lonely old man's house.

This is considered a public welfare activity, and usually the team leader leads the young adults in the village to do it.

Wu Bo wants to integrate into the larger group, and it will be beneficial and harmless to do more of this.

Wang Shangui did not make random arrangements. Wu Bo had difficulty with his legs and feet, so he just asked him to follow the crowd and do light work, while Wang Qiangguo took care of him.

Others didn't have any objections. After all, no one could argue too much with a cripple. Everyone admired him for being able to help.

Wu Bo and Wang Qiangguo, together with Zhou Qiang, parted ways.

Wang Qiangguo and Zhou Qiang were shoveling in front, shoveling the stuff in the middle of the road to both sides of the road.

Wu Bo took a broom and cleaned the rest behind.

Zhou Qiang glanced at Li Xiwa who was on another road not far away, and said in a low voice with a stern face: "Qiang Guo, Brother Bo, I suspect that the prey in our trap has been stolen."

Wu Bo and Wang Qiangguo were stunned at the same time. Wu Bo said: "It snowed so heavily a few days ago. Our traps may have been buried, and there would be no prey."

Wang Qiangguo also said: "That's right, Qiangzi, I took a look in the morning and there was nothing there. I didn't even know where it was or where the prey came from."

Zhou Qiang snorted: "I originally thought I was overthinking it, but it was really cold that day and I couldn't stay at home, so I thought about going to the trap to check it out, sort it out, and maybe catch one or two."

"But when I stretched out my hand, I found that the trap was not very good, and it had even been specially disguised."

"Under the camouflage, there are fresh blood stains and pheasant feathers."

"I felt something was wrong. After careful observation for two days, I found that someone had indeed packed the trap and hunted something, but no one was caught."

"Just now, Li Xiwa passed by me, and I smelled the smell of meat on his body."

Wang Qiangguo frowned: "Even if he smells of meat, it doesn't necessarily have to be him, right? Besides, it doesn't matter whether there is prey in our trap."

Zhou Qiang had already concluded that Li Xiwa had stolen the prey and said with a face: "We will find out later if we can catch the prey."

"Is it Li Xiwa? Let's go to his house and have a look."

"Look at him after a winter. Everyone else has lost weight, but he has gained weight. You can tell that he must have eaten less meat. There is also a lot of fur in the house."

"Hmph, no wonder our trap can obviously catch prey, but after a winter, there is nothing."

"I thought the prey had become smarter. It knew the danger and didn't dare to come. It was because someone's feelings were robbed."

Because of the exchange of pheasants for hares, everyone was estranged from Li Xiwa, but they had been brothers for many years, and they never thought that they would never keep in touch with each other until death.

I thought that after this period of time has passed, we will still be good brothers.

But if Li Xiwa really steals their prey, the matter will definitely not be over.

When Li Xiwa was young and lacked food and clothing, stealing prey was stealing their lives. Who could bear it?

Moreover, hunting and trapping are all stipulated rules, and you cannot touch other people's prey.

Li Xiwa knowingly did this and didn't regard them as brothers at all, so what kind of kindness could they have?

Wu Bo and Wang Qiangguo were silent. He glanced at Li Xiwa, whose face was glowing red, and he already believed it in his heart.

After shoveling the snow, Wang Qiangguo avoided Li Xiwa, called his brothers who had made traps together before, and went to the trap at the foot of the mountain.

On the way, Zhou Qiang told everyone his guess.

Several people had cold faces after hearing this.

When they arrived at the trap, several people hurriedly opened it.

Not surprisingly, there were more or less traces of hair and blood in their traps.

You can see the traces of cleaning, and you can see that there should always be prey in the trap.

Moreover, inside Wu Bo's cave, there was a small pheasant that had just fallen in and was not dead. It was not big, just over a pound.

But this is enough to prove that there is always prey in their trap.

Zhou Qiang said in a deep voice: "You saw it, I didn't lie, did I?"

"While Li Xiwa doesn't get the news, we go to his house to block him. We will definitely catch him. Brothers, let's go."

The hot-blooded men all had their eyes red with anger.

Without saying anything, he followed Zhou Qiang to Li Xiwa's house.

Wang Qiangguo couldn't stop him, and he didn't want to, and he was equally angry to death.

But my father is the captain of the brigade, so this matter must not be trivial. If it gets bigger, my father will be the one to take the blame, so I told Wu Bo to stop him and not start a fight yet. He would go home and call his father.

Wu Bo nodded naturally.

It was just that his legs and feet were inconvenient, so he limped behind the crowd. When he arrived at Li Xiwa's house, Li Xiwa's house had been turned upside down by the men.
