Forest Farm 1985: Raise a bear cub to climb the mountain

Chapter 113 Falling in Panic

On the way back, after Dai Song met Wang Tu Douzi, he went to the dilapidated house in the south of the village and pulled out a lot of dead grass.

Before entering the house, he took a few deep breaths of the air outside. Although it was cold, it was not smelly.

But when he mustered up the courage to open the door, the room was filled with a strange and strong fragrance, but the people inside seemed not to notice it and frowned slightly. They were probably used to the smell and thought the room still smelled bad.

"What have you been doing outside for so long? You just brought back so much dry grass? Corn sacs are good for kindling fire."

Jiang Weiqin took the dry grass from Dai Song's hand, tied a few knots with it, and was about to throw it into the corner, but was stopped by Dai Song.
"Mom, I'm going to feed this to that little musk deer!"

"Feed it? That's it? You feed it chicken feathers! Donkeys won't eat this stuff, let alone wild animals!"

Dai Song pursed his lips, feeling unconvinced, but the words came out of his mouth, "What should I do?"

"Look at me! When the brigade was first formed, the animals in the team were all taken care of by me and a few old sisters. We raised them all to be fat and plump!"

Jiang Weiqun opened the steamer as she spoke, and in the bottom steamer were golden cornmeal cakes.

Even though the Dai family eats white flour every day now, looking at the entire Tuanjietun, the staple food of most people's families is still corn and potatoes.

Use potato seed starch to make some vermicelli, add two heads of Chinese cabbage and stew them in a pot, it will be a rare delicious dish.

"Mom, are you planning to feed me with this? Can you bear to do that?" Dai Song tilted his head and looked at Jiang Weiqun's expression carefully.

I saw my mother with a calm face.
"Why would I be reluctant to give it up? Didn't they say that the musk produced in Italy is valuable? We have to keep it well!"

Dai Song smiled and scratched his head, thinking that this was a good idea, and then he said,
"Mom, why are you still frowning?"

"How dare you ask?" Jiang Weiqin got angry when she heard this. She turned around and patted Dai Song, "Isn't it because you didn't clean up the musk deer before? If you had cleaned it up, would the room be so smelly?
She came back halfway through cooking, which made it inconvenient for me to go to the next door to cook!"

"But now that I come in and smell it, it doesn't stink anymore." Dai Song said with a smile.

"Don't just stand there and talk nonsense! If you have nothing to do, go play with Yingying and don't make trouble in front of me."

Dai Song grinned after being glared at by Jiang Weiqun. Seeing that his two sisters-in-law were also busy, he set his sights on his younger sister and daughter.

At this time, an adult and a child were playing with toy cars on the kang.

"Yingying, sister, let's go out for a walk!"

"No, it's so late and it's cold outside."

"Yingying~ let's go out for a walk?" Dai Song sat next to the little girl.

The little girl tilted her head and thought for a while, then she climbed up from the kang with a smile, hugged Dai Song's neck tightly, and shouted in a baby voice, "Let's go to the yard and see the pigs~"

Dai Song responded happily and slowly walked out with his daughter in his arms.

Dai Xiaoqian, who was listening to the radio nearby, saw Yingying wearing only a thick cotton coat, so she hurriedly took Dai Song's coat hanging on the head of the kang and chased after her.

After wrapping the little girl tightly, she was reluctantly pulled out by Dai Song and the little girl.

"Wow~ The air outside is so... fresh~" Dai Xiaoqian shuddered and said, "Brother, it's so late, where are we going?"

"Where else can we go? Didn't Yingying say she wanted to see wild boars? Why don't we just walk around the two courtyards?"

"Ah? Then I'll go back."

Dai Song hurriedly took a step forward to stop him, "Stop, don't you all think the house stinks? Isn't it nice to come out and smell the fresh air now?"

"But it's cold outside!" Dai Xiaoqian was also annoyed by Dai Song.

"It's not cold, not cold. You'll feel warm if you take a walk." Dai Song shook the little Yingying in his arms, and the father and daughter took the lead in walking through the pile of pigs.

Dai Xiaoqian wanted to slip back, but after taking two steps, she heard Xiao Yingying calling her in a baby voice, so she had no choice but to stay and play with her.

The three of them walked around the pile of wild boars outside the yard twice, until Dai Song told the story of beating the pig god again, and then led the two back.

When he returned to the house, he deliberately walked very fast, leaving Dai Xiaoqian behind.

I wanted to give her a surprise, but as soon as I opened the door, the little girl in my arms kicked with joy:
“Smells good! Smells good!”

"Smells good, doesn't it?" Jiang Weiqun smiled so well that chrysanthemums blossomed in the corners of her eyes. "Grandma made your favorite vinegar-braised spareribs for you. You can eat them in a while. Go and wait on the kang! This old man is so mean. It's already dark outside. Why are you taking the kids out for a stroll? What if they get haunted by night owls or something..."

But when she was halfway through her words, Dai Xiaoqian followed her into the house.

Just look at her eyes brightening up and her expression exaggeratingly saying,
"Wow!! It smells so good!"

"Smells good, right?" Jiang Weiqin was even happier. She lifted the lid of the pot and was about to enjoy the aroma of the food when she heard Dai Xiaoqian continue,

"Brother! This musk really lives up to its reputation!"

"What the hell?"

Not only Jiang Weiqun, but the two sisters-in-law also looked at Dai Xiaoqian in confusion after hearing this.

"I understand!" Dai Xiaoqian clapped her hands, "The smell must have been too strong before. Even if the air was ventilated to dilute the smell, we couldn't smell it because we were used to it in the house! Brother! You are so bad! You took Xiaoying and me out, this must be the reason!"

"Dad~ It smells good!" Xiao Yingying didn't speak clearly, but she understood. At this moment, she heard that her aunt seemed to mean that the stench had turned into fragrance, so she immediately answered for her father. Hearing this, Jiang Weiqin and the other two looked at each other, and after asking Dai Xiaoqian and Dai Song to watch the pot, they put on their coats and walked out of the house.

After being tortured by the foul smell in the room for nearly an hour, the three of them went out and shivered in the cold wind, but they still breathed in deep gulps of the cool air.

But just a few minutes later, the three people who entered the house suddenly felt that the air outside was nothing.

"Oh my God! This smells so good!" Jiang Weiqun exclaimed with wide eyes.

"Why does it smell so good!" Tang Liping looked at Nan Chunwan with an extremely wonderful expression. Although Dai Xiaoqian had deliberately explained it before, she also felt it was extremely magical at this moment.

So, Dai Xiaoqian explained the reason in detail.

Just as he finished speaking, Dai Shuzhi and Dai Bai pushed the door open and came in.

As soon as the two entered the room, their frowns relaxed, and they took several deep breaths before saying,

"What's that smell? Why does it smell so good?"

"Hey! What is that thing?" Dai Bai had sharp eyes and immediately spotted the musk deer resting on the ash. He walked over to it in two or three steps and naughtily fiddled with its two fangs.

"Hey! These two teeth look fake. What are they? They must be musk deer!"

Dai Song was speechless.

After returning home, the musk deer has changed species twice.

"I don't understand, but the room smells so good, it must be related to this thing!" Dai Shuzhi patted Songzi's shoulder cheerfully, asking for her approval, "Can't you see all the spots on this thing? This thing must be a sika deer!"

Dai Song: ...

The dinner was very sumptuous. In addition to the vinegar-braised spareribs, there were also two other main dishes: braised pig's trotters with frozen radish and braised pork liver.

But even so, no one at the table praised the deliciousness of the food; everyone was admiring the musk.

However, Jiang Weiqun didn't get angry because after dinner everyone gathered around the stove and watched her feed the musk deer with cornmeal cakes.

At first, Dai Song was still worried. After all, this thing was a wild animal, and he might suddenly go mad and hurt him.

But when I fed him the same cornmeal cakes, he hid from everyone except me. I felt relieved.

The process went smoothly afterwards. Jiang Weiqun simply placed the cooled cake in front of the musk deer. The musk sniffed it briefly and then lowered its head to chew it.

"Hey! He really ate it!" Dai Bai exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, your mother used to be an expert in pig farming in the brigade!" Dai Shuzhi's face was full of pride, as if he was the one who received this honor.

Jiang Weiqin was very pleased with Dai Laohan's praise. She looked at the little musk deer happily without even raising her head.

"Shuishui, get some water and use it to feed this little thing! Oh~ It's quite interesting to watch now~"

As she spoke, she actually started to stroke the musk deer. Perhaps because she knew that the person in front of her would be her future support, the musk deer actually stretched out its tongue to lick Jiang Weiqin's hand. She was so happy that she didn't even wait for Dai Song to come back with the water. She directly placed the small bowl of water for the mushroom in front of the musk deer.
"Drink!"

Flower mushroom: “Boo-boo-boo…”

Xiao Yingying patted Huagu's little head, comforted him a little, and then squatted beside her grandmother curiously.
But as soon as she stretched out her hand, the musk deer immediately turned its head and dodged.

The little girl blinked her big eyes, not disappointed, and instead hugged her grandmother's neck tightly, snuggled in her arms, and watched with a smile as her grandmother stroked her fur.

Maybe it was because watching the musk deer eat was hypnotic, or maybe it was the calming effect of the musk, but after watching for a while, the whole family felt sleepy and went back to their rooms to sleep.

Yingying was even more exaggerated. Just when Jiang Weiqun was about to get up, he found that she had fallen asleep in his arms.

Dai Song carefully carried his daughter back to the kang, watched Nan Chunwan undress her and put her into bed, and asked softly,
"Xiao Wan, I'm going to town tomorrow, do you want to come with me?"

Nan Chunwan paused for a moment, then whispered, "What am I going to do~"

Dai Song was delighted and did not refuse directly. Is there any hope for this?
He immediately sat down beside the kang and said softly,
"Go to the town and visit some shops. There are many delicious foods in the town that are not available in the village.

Xiaowan, you have been taking care of this family since you followed me. Apart from going back to my parents’ house, you have never been to town. Now that you have the conditions, why not go out and relax~"

Nan Chunwan's lips trembled slightly, and her eyes were sometimes expectant and sometimes sad.

Dai Song frowned slightly, but he was extremely nervous. His brain was working quickly, thinking of clothes. He hurriedly opened the kang cabinet and took out two loose beige vests with rolled-up collars.

Nan Chunwan blushed when she saw it, "What are you doing~"

"Xiao Wan, these are old and don't fit your current size. They must be uncomfortable to wear. Last time I saw bras for sale in the store! The styles are all pretty, but the key is this."

As he spoke, he placed his hands on his chest, "This way you won't feel so dizzy!"

Fixed a question.

Normally, there are only Amur leopards in the Greater Khingan Range, so snow leopards have to go west, which means they have to go to Mongolia and Tibet. The news about snow leopards being found in the Greater Khingan Range a few years ago was later clarified to be Far Eastern leopards.
