Chapter 117 I have to go out for a trip
Author: Riding an ant to the market
Han Xiaokang found two wandering lone wolves in a valley full of pear trees.
One of them was killed by himself, and the other wolf disappeared.
In fact, Han Xiaokang felt that something was wrong at that time, because the adult male wolf, unless it was a male wolf that tried to challenge the wolf king status and was defeated.
Otherwise, few adult male wolves would choose to leave the wolf pack and live alone.
And now in the small valley where Zhou Jian and the others live, they can also hear the howling of a lone wolf on the top of the mountain?
Now, Han Xiaokang couldn't stay in the valley any longer: he had to go out of the mountain quickly to get the musket back.
By the way, I can also use this trip to purchase some supplies.
Including purchasing food, no matter how much it is, you have to start thinking of ways to buy some and save it. When you come back, you will take out the wire from the Fengchao cabinet and add a wire fence to Aju's small courtyard.
After all, the black locusts and wild roses that were just transplanted around the yard have not grown up yet, so they have no protective effect.
Just do it!
Han Xiaokang decided to leave immediately, which made Ah Ju very happy: "Okay, brother Xiaokang, please bring more mutton so that you can sell it for money. Zhou Jian, you must take care of me when you are on the road."
Brother Kang, take a look at what's going on around you, it's too dangerous to walk at night, you must keep an eye on it."
Zhou Jian agreed, and then quickly went to help his sister process the mutton.
Aju, on the other hand, hurried back to the house and cooked for everyone.
Since Han Xiaokang was about to leave the mountain, Ah Ju, who was eager to let Han Xiaokang take out more things to sell for money, not only packed the honey, but also rolled up the dried python skin and put it into the backpack.
Because preparations are being made secretly to establish people's communes everywhere.
All musical instrument manufacturers are ramping up their efforts to produce musical instruments such as drums, suona, gongs and erhu.
Therefore, during this period, their demand for python skins was very high.
This led to the purchase station also raising the purchase price of pythons very high. After all, all the original districts and villages would soon be converted into communes.
According to the rigid requirements of superiors: every commune and every production brigade must not only set up canteens, health clinics, and kindergartens, but also form their own performance groups.
These performance groups not only performed theatrical performances with gongs and drums to celebrate the establishment of the commune.
Usually they have to present various performances to enrich the literary and artistic life of the commune members.
According to the requirements of superiors, these colorful and diverse cultural programs must be performed not only in the courtyard but also on the stage.
Moreover, various entertainment activities must be sent to the mountains and fields.
This resulted in a sudden surge in demand for various performance instruments in all production brigades and communes.
At the same time, the price of raw materials such as cowhide and python skin for musical instruments has been pushed to unprecedented heights.
When Zhou Min and Zhou Jian cut the mutton into eight pieces, Aju immediately put all the mutton into a basket on his back, saying that Han Xiaokang could take it outside the mountain and sell it for money.
As for those who stay, don’t eat mutton this time. Just some sheep offal and sheep heads are enough. There is no need to be so extravagant.
By the time Han Xiaokang hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of rice, he was about to go out.
Zhou Min handed over three golden pheasants with their claws and wings tied with thin ropes. "Xiao Kang, I tied these with silk thread this morning. You can take these out and sell them for money."
The golden pheasant's fur is fluffy and colorful, and its appearance is very, very beautiful.
However, this golden pheasant looks very big, but in fact it is very light when you hold it in your hand.
One golden pheasant is estimated to cost about 2 pounds, but it actually doesn’t cost much.
Ah Ju helped put the golden pheasants into the basket, and then fixed them through the holes in the basket to prevent them from popping out halfway.
Farewell to Zhou Min and A Ju, Han Xiaokang went out with Zhou Jian, who was on his way to deliver a sheep to his cousin Liu Hongdong.
This time when he went out of the mountain, Han Xiaokang originally brought Dahu and Pingping.
When they reached Huangjinggou where his cousin Liu Hongdong lived, Han Xiaokang asked Zhou Jian to stay with Dahudu, while he carried a basket on his back and went out alone.
This time,
Zhou Jian was unhappy: "If tomorrow, my sister and Aju know that I didn't follow you, will I still be scolded to death by them?"
Han Xiaokang glared at him: "Then you won't show your face over there these two days? Just stay at home and repair the wall quickly. Now that the wild wolf is close at hand, if the wild wolf really breaks through,
Do you expect Liu Hongdong to deal with it alone?"
Zhou Jian was really in a dilemma: Don't follow Han Xiaokang out of the mountains. It's quite dangerous for Han Xiaogang to walk alone at night.
If he followed Han Xiaokang, it would not be safe for Liu Hongdong to stay here alone.
Finally, after receiving a kick from Han Xiaokang, Zhou Jian obediently took Dahu and some sheep into the water and returned to the shack to accompany Liu Hongdong.
Han Xiaokang was left alone with little wolf Pingping, and hurried out of the mountain.
The reason why I want Dahu to stay is to protect the personal safety of my cousins Liu Hongdong and Zhou Jian: although Dahu is still small now, he can't deal with the wild wolf.
But it is very alert.
With Dahu staying here to be vigilant day and night, it can at least provide Liu Hongdong and Zhou Jian with some early warning time.
After settling Zhou Jian, Han Xiaokang held a torch and left the ravine where Liu Hongdong and the others lived.
He immediately gathered his thoughts and put the mutton, golden pheasant, python skin and the backpack into the hive cabinet.
Then I hurried on empty-handed. It was really unsafe to walk alone at night.
However, Han Xiaokang was really not willing to take Zhou Jian out with him.
With him here, I still have to work hard, taking turns with Zhou Jian, carrying heavy backpacks on the road.
Now that I am alone and fluttering around, it is actually easier.
The night is shrouded, and the stars and moon are hanging high.
The distant mountains are like ink, with looming buildings, and the thatch taller than a person's head rises and falls in the warm night wind, as if it will choose people to eat at any time.
The night in the deep mountains and old forests has no sense of beauty, let alone any poetry.
On the contrary, it makes people feel timid.
Han Xiaokang held a torch in his left hand and a mounted rifle on his right shoulder. He pointed the muzzle of the gun forward, held the butt of the gun directly with his palm, and placed his index finger on the trigger, ready to fire at any time.
Whether you can fight or not is another matter.
In the quiet valley, even that huge gunshot is enough to scare all kinds of lurking beasts into fleeing.
Especially when passing through the Wild Wolf Valley.
Before Han Xiaokang entered the valley, he shot three times forward.
Quickly loading his bullets, Han Xiaokang would fire randomly up the slope every few dozen meters he walked in the Wild Wolf Valley.
It is said that singing at night is to embolden oneself, but Han Xiaokang relied on shooting randomly to make himself safer.
After passing Yelang Valley and walking for more than 10 miles, Han Xiaokang finally arrived safely at Wujiazhai 8 Production Team at around 4:00 in the morning.
There were quite a lot of blue sheep caught this time, so Han Xiaokang decided to give some to the production team leader Peng Zhikun and the martial arts examiners.
Just as Han Xiaokang took out his backpack and carried it, ready to enter the village, he suddenly heard the sound of the gun bolt being pulled!
Then two black figures emerged from behind the wall of the Wujiazhai production team, "Stop! Who are they?"
