Chapter 25 Zhang Qian hunts rabbits

Kou Qing Si
There was nothing else to do now, and the cabbage was not delivered until the afternoon. She changed direction and went into the mountain, preparing to collect some dry firewood and come back.
As soon as An Yinan entered the mountain, he saw Zhang Qian carrying firewood and going down the mountain.
"Why are you going up the mountain at this time?" Zhang Qian asked when he saw her, and this mountain was not the one they went up before.
There are three mountains behind their educated youth center. They used to walk to the nearest mountain, but now this mountain is a bit far away.
"I was saving pickled vegetables this afternoon, so I figured I'd have some time, so I came to collect some firewood." An Yinan smiled, carrying a large basket on her back, half as tall as her.
"I'll go with you." Zhang Qian put the firewood under the tree on the side. With all the firewood piled there, others would know that it belongs to the owner, and there are very few people coming to this mountain.
In fact, almost no one comes to the entire back mountain. Quanshui Village is surrounded by mountains, but the three mountains behind the Educated Youth Center are extremely steep, and they all belong to the back mountain.
Moreover, the old man said that there are wild beasts in the depths of these three mountains. Many people have died in the past, and the villagers basically do not come to these three mountains.
The other three sides are also mountains, but they are relatively gentle, enough for the people of Quanshui Village to collect firewood and collect mountain products.
An Yinan didn't refuse, "Let's go then."
The two of them walked along. When An Yinan saw a mushroom, he would squat down and pick it up. When he saw the firewood, Zhang Qian put it away. The two of them didn't say anything the whole time. Just when An Yinan was about to continue walking, Zhang Qian pulled her sleeve and pointed to the right front.
Over there is a gray rabbit eating grass.
An Yinan looked up and saw Zhang Qian picked up a stone from the ground, put a weight on it in his hand, and then threw it violently. The rabbit had no time to react before its head exploded.
"Good skills." An Yinan praised.
"With your strength, it shouldn't be difficult." Zhang Qian replied. His strength was not as strong as An Yinan's. He just practiced shooting for a long time and his accuracy was better than hers.
"Can I practice?" An Yinan asked.
Zhang Qian nodded, "Of course you can. First determine a center, slowly throw stones, and practice your accuracy."
An Yinan became interested, and then drew a circle on the tree with a stone. Then he moved one meter away and hit it with stones. Every stone would fall into the circle.
"The accuracy is good. You can try to stand farther away." Zhang Qian sat on the side and watched. He was able to enter the circle at a distance of one meter, which is very good, but the distance is too close. Which prey can let you attack from such a close distance? He's already gone far away.
Then she pulled it to three meters away and continued to hit the circle. Only one out of five stones could be hit. Accuracy needed to be trained slowly. She picked up some stones and put them into her backpack, preparing to practice more in the space.
Not to mention whether you can catch prey, at least it is a skill, and stones are also powerful weapons. I didn't expect it at first, but now that I have discovered it, I naturally have to practice it.
The two of them continued walking up the mountain. Zhang Qian caught three more hares and taught An Yinan how to make traps.
Seeing that it was almost noon, the two of them went down the mountain and returned to the educated youth center.
The courtyard wall in the backyard has been blocked up. Uncle Xie has made a lot of mud bricks these days. The courtyard wall will be built in the next few days. A separate wooden door has been opened in the backyard. An Yinan put a lock on the wooden door. It will be convenient to go to the back mountain later.
Go back to the yard, pick the mushrooms and dry them in the second yard.
Brother Li came over just after dinner, pushing a cart of cabbage, "An Zhiqing, my mother asked me to bring you cabbage."
"There will be another car in a while. My mother asked me to ask, do you want white radish?"
An Yinan helped carry the cabbage out of the car. The cabbage planted by Aunt Li was very big, and all the bad leaves were picked out, making it look fresh and tender.
"Yes, give me whatever Aunt Li can't use." An Yinan smiled. She was about to make kimchi. She had to make a base of radish first. Next year, she can add small peppers and long beans for a sour taste. , thieves eat.
Brother Li responded, helped to move the cabbage, and then went back to push the second cart.
Li Xiu'e didn't go to work today. As soon as she finished washing her clothes, she saw An Yinan packing cabbage, and quickly waved her hand and came to help.
"Why are there so many cabbages?" Li Xiu'e helped break off the bad and rotten leaves.
The first step of accumulating sauerkraut is to dry it for a while, and Aunt Li helped dry it.
The second step is to break off the defective vegetables, otherwise the whole jar of sauerkraut will be ruined and the gain will outweigh the loss.
An Yinan was sitting on the ground, also arranging cabbage, "Hey, this is not the winter where we have vegetables to eat. Even though we are going to survive the winter, I am not going to be hungry, so I will prepare some more vegetables in advance."
Li Xiu'e smiled and said nothing. An educated youth was capable and earned a lot of work points. Even in winter, he could afford three meals.
She doesn't have much strength, and she normally works eight minutes a day. In addition, her family sends some money invoices every month, so her life is easy.
It has been three years since she went to the countryside. She has a very peaceful mind. Although her family has no big connections that would allow her to return to the city, they have never given up on her. Compared with most female educated youths, she is already considered a good person.
"There are few green vegetables in winter, so stocking up on sauerkraut is a good idea. You can always eat some green leafy vegetables." Li Xiu'e worked very quickly, and in a short time, the two of them cleaned up the bad vegetable leaves.
An Yinan moved the dining table out, then took out the cutting board and kitchen knife. The Chinese cabbage grown by Aunt Li was too big. It had to be split in half before it could be accumulated in the tank. Otherwise, it would ferment too slowly and be easily damaged.
"I'll cut it for you. Go and boil the water." Since there was nothing to do today, Li Xiu'e helped An Yinan.
An Yinan smiled and did not refuse, "We have to wait a while. Brother Li still has a cart of cabbage that he hasn't brought yet."
Li Xiu'e paused for a moment. The cabbage in the yard weighed almost [-] kilograms, and there was another cart?Can these two siblings finish eating?
An Yinan laughed out loud when she saw Li Xiu'e's unbelievable expression. She had space to store the sauerkraut. Once she had accumulated the sauerkraut, she would throw it into the space at the most suitable time. It could be used as stuffing even in summer.
"I have a lot of relatives, so I want to send them to them to try." After An Yinan said this, there were still three letters that he had not answered. Before, he was waiting for more mountain goods to be sent together, but now he wants to catch some game and make some dried food. Send the meat and bacon to your godmother together.
Li Xiu'e nodded, "The big dormitory is not as big as your car. It's a bit too much for you. You have to keep an eye on it to prevent it from getting damaged."
It was a kind reminder, so An Yinan naturally agreed.
Brother Li moved quickly. The second cart had already been pushed over, and there were two large bags of white radish on the handle of the cart.
Li Xiu'e took over the job of chopping vegetables, and An Yinan helped Brother Li unload the car. After unloading the car, he secretly gave Brother Li five yuan.
"My mother said we can't use so much." Brother Li pushed over another two dollars.
As soon as An Yinan entered the mountain, he saw Zhang Qian carrying firewood and going down the mountain.
"Why are you going up the mountain at this time?" Zhang Qian asked when he saw her, and this mountain was not the one they went up before.
There are three mountains behind their educated youth center. They used to walk to the nearest mountain, but now this mountain is a bit far away.
