Coming to an old bamboo that was entangled and climbed by several kinds of vines, Qiao Xiaoru pointed and asked the foolish man to cut down the bamboo.

The foolish man smiled and said yes, and casually tore off the vines that seemed to be tightly and firmly wound and threw them aside, and cut down the bamboo with a few strokes of the firewood knife.

The bamboo in this mountain is as thick as the mouth of a small bowl for eating, the length is more than two zhang, the bottom is smooth, but there are many branches upward, and when it falls, it hits other trees, shrubs and weeds, making a lot of noise.

A pheasant was frightened, clucking, clucking, flapping its wings and flying up from the grass, startling Qiao Xiaoru a lot!

"Ahh Pheasant! It's a pity to fly away! Qiao Xiaoru followed the prestige to see the pheasant dragging its long and beautiful tail feathers flying away in the sun, and was surprised and pity.

But even if it's a pity, she can only talk about it, she doesn't think she has the ability to catch a winged pheasant with her bare hands.

No, as soon as her words fell, the firewood knife in the hand of the foolish man broke through the air with a whirring sound that pierced the air, and was flying in the direction of the pheasant, and the last came first, cutting at the back of the pheasant.

With a terrible and frightened scream, the pheasant and the firewood knife fell to the ground at the same time.

Qiao Xiaoru looked at the stupid husband with wide eyes and shocked, and stammered: "Stupid, you are too powerful!" Oh my God, I'm not dazzled! Ah, let's go over and have a look! ”

Qiao Xiaoru, who came back to her senses, was overjoyed, and pulled the foolish man to run towards the place where the pheasant firewood knife landed.

"yes, yes!" The foolish husband saw his daughter-in-law's eyes smiling brightly, her eyebrows and eyes crooked, and she grinned with joy. Immediately and automatically took the initiative to open the way in front of his daughter-in-law.

Archery hunting is not unusual, and hunters who know a little bit can do it. But it is rare to throw a firewood knife out so easily and more importantly, so accurately!

You must know how heavy such a big firewood knife weighs, and how much resistance it has to throw it out! It's rare that the direction can be so accurate in this situation!

The two of them soon came to the place where the pheasant landed, first picked up a firewood knife, and then followed the sound to see the pheasant fluttering its wings in the grass with blood stains.

The foolish man took a few steps over, and easily caught the frightened pheasant in his hand, and happily brought it to Qiao Xiaoru.

The firewood knife was right behind the mountain chicken, and it didn't look good at this time, but Qiao Xiaoru, who had not been stained with meat since he passed through, had no disgust in his eyes, and he had no sympathy.

All she knew was that she could improve her food tonight! This pheasant is fat and big, at least four pounds!

Pure natural mountain game, I don't know how delicious!

"That's great, we're in for a good night!" Qiao Xiaoru smiled happily, and smiled at the foolish husband: "Let's take it back and kill it stewed tonight, and give you a big chicken leg!" ”

The foolish man said "good" first, then shook his head and said "not good", and said innocently: "Big chicken leg for daughter-in-law to eat!" ”

Qiao Xiaoru was happy, and her heart was moved and funny.

Who said he was stupid? Not stupid at all! This kid is so stupid and so pleasing to people, if he is not stupid, then he can pay it back?

Qiao Xiaoru casually pulled a few sticks of grass to tie up the legs and wings of the pheasant, and the foolish man carried it, and the two continued to chop bamboo.

Soon, he cut down four old bamboos, cut them off and moved them to an open and flat place, and found the mountain vines to tie them up, Qiao Xiaoru asked the foolish husband to put the bundled bamboos away, and when he saw that it was still early, he took him around the mountains and forests.

There's no way, the stupid man can eat it too! There are also small bean sprouts that are also very edible, and in the past few days, it has been obvious that there is more meat on the face, and the complexion is much better, but the speed of the food is very fast!

So much so that according to Qiao Xiaoru's expectation, he could eat half a month's worth of food, but it was barely enough to eat for ten days.

According to this calculation, the food at home may bottom out around February of the next year!

Seeing that the two brothers had a good appetite, on the one hand, Qiao Xiaoru was relieved that the small body of the little bean sprouts had finally begun to grow, and on the other hand, she was worried about the food, which was really mixed and sour.

Fortunately, it is only mid-September, and this area is southern, except for the morning and evening cooler, the weather is relatively warm during the day.

It just so happens that autumn is also the harvest season, and the village is backed by the mountains, so of course Qiao Xiaoru wants to know about it and see if she can find some good things to get through the difficulties first.

If nothing else, it's very difficult right now.

Five taels of silver, ask the carpenter master to work, do the deed, and after spending one tael and nine cents, there are three taels and one cents left.

On the day of building a new house, I had to invite the people who worked to have a good meal, and Li Zheng and the elders in the village, the two annoying uncles and aunts, and Qiao Dahe had to invite them all. and Uncle Zhang's family, who was close.

It's a small cabin, but it's also a big thing to build a house, isn't it? I can't say it without a meal! It's good to be auspicious, and by the way, I will make a friend or two of popularity, favors, living in this village, who knows that I will have to find someone to help that day?

If you count this, you have to say the least to two dollars of silver, right?

If you move again, you can't add some bits and pieces? That's another one.

While it is not cold at this time, the quilts to be covered in winter and the materials for winter clothes must be bought back first, otherwise I am afraid that the price will increase when it is really cold!

I don't know what the price of cotton and cotton cloth is in this era!

In the end, Qiao Xiaoru still wanted to buy more than a dozen chickens to raise, so that she could raise them and lay eggs, and she could also replenish Tian's and small bean sprouts.

The Tian family is the only elder in the family, and there must be no trouble, otherwise the Yang family and the Zhang family will have to put the genealogy of the elders in trouble!

In other words, if you put it aside in modern times, Qiao Xiaoru won't even pay attention to this kind of superb relative, and let them jump on their own!

In modern times, you can be arrogant, you can not take them seriously, even if you are impatient, even if you squirt them, it is nothing, at most someone mutters a few words of gossip behind your back, but it is just gossip.

But in these years, no! The elders and clans in the clan have rules and regulations, which are not decorations.

If the younger generation disobeys the elders, there is a great reason, and they fall into the inferior first, and they cannot escape punishment.

And the body of the little bean sprouts, Qiao Xiaoru is eager to try, and has been looking forward to raising him and letting him go to school!

After such a careful calculation, the silver......

It's stressful!

However, the mountain in front of him is not a deep mountain and old forest, even if there are any good mountain goods, it is expected that it will not be Qiao Xiaoru's turn, and it will have already fallen into the hands of other villagers.

Qiao Xiaoru didn't have the idea of how many good things he could find, but he just felt that he could have an understanding of the mountainous terrain and the conditions in the mountains in this area.
