Beast Taming Begins with Evolution

Chapter 239

There is only half a mouse and that small bag of food in the house. If we live frugally, we may be able to survive for ten days. But what about after ten days?
Who knows whether the unusual movement in the forest is temporary or permanent?

What if I can’t hunt anymore?
Xiaohua doesn't know how to hunt, but she knows how to run a household and can calculate the household expenses without any hesitation.

This time, the two men in the family were ordered to go down the mountain early, and the food they received was definitely the least in the team.

The two men have big appetites. Dazhuang is the pillar of the family, and his food must not be reduced. Xiaozhuang is at the age when he is eating his father out of money. Thinking of this, Xiaohua feels so angry that her teeth are itching. Old Dingtou's family eats in such an ugly way that they don't care about anything.

Although he was filled with hatred, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He felt a little regretful. He regretted that when something happened to Alang's family, he and other people in the village remained silent.

Now, my family has encountered unfair things, and others have remained silent, and even hope that they will get less. If I get less, won’t they get more?

Thinking of this, Xiaohua's face turned cold. "If you did it on the first day, don't blame me for doing it on the fifteenth."

He waved to Xiao Zhuang.

Xiao Zhuang walked over and asked, "What's wrong, mom?"

My mother had just lost her temper and the two men in the family didn't dare to say a word. Xiao Zhuang was suddenly called over by his mother and felt a little nervous and scared.

I was afraid that my mother would be so angry that she would slap me.

Unexpectedly, Xiaohua just took a small bag and filled it with food. The bag was a little bigger and a little more bulging than the last one.

"Go to Alang's house and ask him to exchange some more meat."

Xiao Zhuang was a little confused and stood still. "Mom, don't we still have some meat? The long-haired rats are enough for us to eat for two days."

Xiao Hua said unhappily, "I told you to go, so just go. Why are you asking so many questions?"

Xiao Zhuang shrank his neck, reached out to take the bag, and went to deliver the meat to his sister A Zi.

Today, Alang was sharpening his knife at home. His scimitar was sharpened very sharply. A Zi said that the knife originally belonged to her mother.

Ah Lang was in the yard. Xiao Zhuang saw Ah Lang, and Ah Lang also saw Xiao Zhuang.

Xiao Zhuang walked towards Ah Lang and said, "Brother Ah Lang, my mother asked me to come and exchange some animal meat with you in exchange for food."

Wolf nodded.

He stood up and went into the house.

Well, Xiaozhuang was not allowed to enter the house.

Baiyin is still at home.

Less than a minute after entering, Ah Lang took out a piece of meat that was even bigger than the last time and handed it to Xiao Zhuang.

Xiao Zhuang handed the food to Alang, who took it and stood there without moving.

Xiao Zhuang glanced happily at the half-closed wooden door of the house, but didn't see A Zi. A hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes. Then he looked at A Lang standing at the door, scratched his head, smiled foolishly, and turned away.

Xiaozhuang is sixteen years old, but he is almost as tall as Alang.

Last year Xiao Zhuang went to Dangkou County, but because he had no talent, he was sent back.

Xiaohua and Dazhuang were very disappointed, but they still tried to find ways to get Xiaozhuang to eat good food, thinking that maybe a miracle would happen if he was given enough food. After all, he would be sentenced to "death penalty" only after he turned 18.

Parents’ thoughts are so simple and direct.

Xiao Zhuang took the dried meat home. Xiao Hua checked it and found that the meat was the same as last time.

The dried meat is actually very new. Xiaohua can tell that the meat was processed these days. It is impossible for Alang and Azi to not eat meat these days, and their family has no food. The fact that there is still meat now only shows that this ferocious beast is very big and can eat for many days. Maybe one meat is worth three rabbits!

Xiaohua was both happy and worried. She was happy because Wolf was so capable that he could catch such a ferocious beast, and he did so when other hunters returned empty-handed.

What worries me is that there is so much meat from these ferocious beasts that they may not be short of food at all. If they are not short of food, will Wolf still go hunting in the short term?

She sent Xiaozhuang out to chop wood.

Then he went into the house to discuss with Da Zhuang.

After hearing what Xiao Hua said, Da Zhuang's first reaction was to shake his head, "No, no, how can I follow Ah Lang to go hunting? The village chief will hate me."

"Village chief, village chief, why are you afraid of him? You still hold a grudge against him? Can he beat you to death? If you didn't go find Alang, you wouldn't be hated to death, but our family would starve to death in ten days! That old Ding doesn't care about our family's life or death, and you still care about him! You coward, why did I marry a dead thing like you!" Xiaohua's plump chest began to rise and fall again.

Da Zhuang, Da Zhuang didn’t even dare to look at Xiao Hua.

Da Zhuang hesitated for a long time.

There was still some resistance on his face, but he didn't say no directly.

Xiao Hua wiped her tears and sighed, "If you are really scared, you can just follow Ah Lang and make a fortune quietly. You dead man, if I marry you, I won't become rich, but you have to make sure that we have enough food to eat!"

"We won't take advantage of that wolf kid. You go and tell him later, when it's dark, take half a bag of food with you. No matter if you can catch prey or not, and no matter if the En family agrees or not, you can't bring back this half bag of food!"

After saying that, Xiaohua took half a bag of food, put it next to Dazhuang, and turned around to clean up the house.

In the evening, after the family of three finished their meal, Xiaohua went into the kitchen. Dazhuang stared at half a bag of grain and hesitated for a while. Thinking that he could eat three big bowls of rice in the evening, but today he only ate 20,000, he shouted that he was full. He gritted his teeth, took the grain, and turned to leave.

Xiaohua didn't stop her hand movements, but a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Then he looked down and saw the rat meat waiting to be processed. With disgust and resentment in his eyes, he kicked it and cursed in an ambiguous way, "Damn old beast!"

After spitting at the village chief, Xiaohua's expression brightened up again and she even started humming a song.

On the other side, Da Zhuang walked to Alang's house and knocked on the door. Baiyin and A Zi looked at each other, and Baiyin walked in.

Ah Zi opened the door.

Seeing Ah Zi, Da Zhuang said in a dry voice: "It's Ah Zi girl, ah, is your brother here?"

A Zi invited the person in and went outside to look for A Lang.

Alang hasn't entered the mountain today. He will go in the evening and hasn't left yet.

Ah Lang walked in. The two adult men filled the room so full that it felt a little crowded.

Da Zhuang sat on the bench in an awkward position. There was a half bag of food on the table. Da Zhuang rubbed his rough and cracked hands together and laughed, "A Wolf. Um, do you want to go into the mountains later?"

Wolf nodded.

Da Zhuang continued, "Well, this time, our hunting situation is not good. Can you take me with you when you go into the mountains next time? This, this is what your aunt asked me to give you. I only need a little bit of the prey when I catch it. Uncle, I am thick-skinned and have good skills. I won't hold you back."

Ah Lang looked at the food, then looked at Da Zhuang who was feeling uneasy, nodded silently, and then gestured.

"You said you were going into the mountains tonight? Can I go with you? Okay, okay, I'm going home to pack my stuff now, wait for me for a while, I'll be right there!"
