Chapter 8： Hunted a big boar and made a bamboo raft

Two large tubs, one for washed prey and one for vegetables. Two small wooden basins are used as basins for the two of them to wash their hands. As for washing clothes by the stream, they can be packed in broken baskets. Now the conditions are limited, and it can only be done.

Breakfast was the wild vegetables that were picked yesterday, plus some fungus, boiled with water, and put a little salt. The salt in Dong Chenghu's house is pitiful, and it was never used up before. He didn't open fire by himself, so there was only so much left. When he went to the town, he had to buy it. Yes, I don't know how long that thirty-two can last?

Gu Shuixiu felt melancholy again, but luckily she found the beach, which gave her infinite hope.

Today Dong Chenghu went to hunt in a distant place, so he came back in the evening with a big wild boar on his shoulders.

Hi! Good guy, this wild boar is estimated to weigh about three hundred pounds.

Gu Shuixiu hurried forward to take Dong Chenghu's tools and let him lift the wild boar to the side and put it away.

"Chenghu, what are we going to do with this wild boar?"

Gu Shuixiu's eyes widened and she circled the wild boar twice, with joy and melancholy in her eyes. Thinking of carrying the wild boar from here to Panlong Town, her legs felt weak.

Dong Chenghu wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat on the side and poured water heavily, took a deep breath, and said as usual: "Tomorrow I will carry this pig to Panlong Town, and by the way, Buy what you need, you don't go, the journey is too far, and you will suffer if you go."

Gu Shuixiu's eyebrows were so wrinkled that they were almost deformed.

Dong Chenghu thought she was unhappy, and quickly coaxed: "It's not that I don't let you go, it's just that there are many mountains to climb, some of which are cliffs, I don't trust you to follow ,Too dangerous."

Dong Chenghu was so frightened that he was at a loss, scratching his ears and cheeks nervously, "Shuixiu, Shuixiu! Don't cry, if you really want to go, I'll tie you with a rope."

Dong Chenghu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but Gu Shuixiu snorted when she heard the words, breaking her tears into laughter.

"I don't have to go to the town, but it's just that you are working too hard. Let's think about whether there is a better way. Every time you have to carry your prey over the mountains and mountains, I really suffer."

Dong Chenghu's heart was sweet when he heard it. It turned out that Shuixiu cried because he felt bad for him. This knowledge made Dong Chenghu's eyes extremely bright.

Gu Shuixiu was thinking about selling prey, but she didn't notice Dong Chenghu's strangeness.

It took a long time to hear Gu Shuixiu say in shock: "Chenghu, can you make boats or bamboo rafts?"

Dong Chenghu nodded, not understanding why Gu Shuixiu asked such a question.

"Didn't we cross the river on a bamboo raft before? The bamboo raft was made by myself, which is convenient for walking."

Gu Shuixiu was overjoyed, "How long does it take to build a bamboo raft?"

"About half a day."

Dong Chenghu looked at Gu Shuixiu with a calculating face, and his heart was a little dazed. Shouldn't Shui Xiu continue to care about him?

Gu Shuixiu was immersed in her plan, the more she thought about it, the more excited she became, she grabbed Dong Chenghu's hand excitedly and said, "Chenghu, let's work together now to make a bigger bamboo raft and go to the beach Do it, if it is done, we will transport the prey out on bamboo rafts and walk along the coastline. Wherever there is a port, we will stop there, and how about selling wild boar there?"

Dong Chenghu was originally excited because Gu Shuixiu took the initiative to hold his hand, but he was completely stunned when he heard what Gu Shuixiu said behind him. He didn't expect Gu Shuixiu to have such a bold idea. For the mountain people who kept their duty and guarded one acre of land, it was nothing short of a fantasy.

Gu Shuixiu saw Dong Chenghu's confusion, and insisted again and again: "Every time you carry your prey from your home to Panlong Town, not only the journey is long, the prey you bring with you is not much, and the price is not high. It will also drag on the body, and this transaction is not worthwhile at all.

If we go out from the beach, maybe we can go further, in less time, the most important thing is that you don't have to carry the prey all the way, if we do find the harbor, we can Sell ​​more prey to big towns for more silver. "

Dong Chenghu was more and more moved by Gu Shuixiu's words, the quiet heart lake began to ripple, the more he thought about it, the brighter his eyes became, if it was as Gu Shuixiu thought, then their family would not be so poor anymore If you save enough money, maybe you can buy a family business outside, so that Shuixiu can live a good life.

The husband and wife made a total of it. Since they have to do it, they will do it right away, so as not to prolong the time and the wild boar is not fresh. Before it was completely dark, Dong Chenghu went to the mountain to chop bamboo and wood, while Gu Shuixiu took a broken knife to cut a tough vine, and took it to the beach to wait for Dong Chenghu.

Dong Chenghu had already taken her on the way to the beach. The weeds in the first-line sky were also set on fire by Dong Chenghu early this morning. Gu Shuixiu felt extremely relieved.

After a while, the flames began to rise, Gu Shuixiu felt at ease, and put the wood into the fire to burn.

Very delicious.

Gu Shuixiu finished cooking, and the sky darkened. At this time, Dong Chenghu dragged a large bundle of bamboos down the hill.

Gu Shuixiu hurried up to help and let Dong Chenghu go to eat first, and then he would have the strength to work when he was full.

"Shuixiu, what is this? It's weird to eat, it feels a little fishy, ​​and it's a little sweet." Dong Chenghu swallowed those things and asked after hesitation. .

Gu Shuixiu was speechless for a while, and hurriedly went to check the bamboos, ignoring Dong Chenghu's question, and began to use her own hands.

Dong Chenghu took a look and hurried over to help.

This Gu Shuixiu has been watching Dong Chenghu make the bamboo raft, giving some suggestions from time to time, and the two were busy until late at night to make the enhanced version of the bamboo raft.

Dong Chenghu looked at the sky, took Gu Shuixiu back to lie down for a while, and the two of them got up before dawn.

He carried the wild boar to the beach, Gu Shuixiu took all the silver in the house, and tied it with vines around his waist. If there was an accident, the money would not be lost.
