Chapter 564 Carrying the Big Bug Home
It was already past dinner time and it was already midnight, but the two men had not returned yet. Not only Li, but even Zhou Dacang was no longer so calm.
I knew that the two of them would usually be delayed for a while, but usually not this long. It was dark and I couldn't see them in the woods. Logically, they should have been back half an hour ago, but there was no sign of them now. Something must have delayed them.
After another half an hour, Li stood up and said, "No, I have to ask Wu Jiang and the others to go into the mountains to look for it!"
Zhou Dacang did not object at this time, and said to Zhou Gu: "Go, ask them to bring more people, each with a fire, an axe and a hoe."
"Yes." Zhou Gu stood up and went out to harness the carriage.
"They're back, they're back!" Zhou Su and Li Lai shouted excitedly outside the yard, "Mom, they're back!"
These two people couldn't stay at home. They would run out of the house and take a look outside the courtyard gate every once in a while. They could only sit for a short while.
The whole family was overjoyed, fortunately nothing happened.
Li went out muttering, "Really? It's been dark for an hour and they just came back. If you don't know, you would think they have a pair of night eyes and can see at night."
Zhou Dacang smiled and didn't move. It was so cold outside.
Then Zhou Su's excited voice was heard again, "Ahhh, Mom, Uncle, come and have a look, look at what the master and my sister brought back, it's so big!"
Zhou Gu was also surprised, "You guys got all this back?"
Everyone in the room went out, even Xu went out to watch the fun.
Zhou Dacang couldn't sit still on the kang anymore, so he moved his butt, put on his shoes, lifted the thick curtain, and went out.
The old man was carrying the big beast in front, she was carrying two bows on her back, and she entered the house holding the deer in one hand and the fox in the other.
Zhou Suli and Li Lai followed him into the house. Looking at such a big creature, they felt scared, happy, and also had an inexplicable excitement. They circled around it.
The two put the things in the yard.
Li and his men came out and first glanced at the two men, then saw that they were safe and sound so they didn't pay much attention to them. Then they turned their eyes and saw the big beast on the ground, their eyes widened!
"This, this, this... Is this a big beast? Is it a big beast?" Li was a little hesitant to recognize it. How could the majestic and legendary big beast that eats people without leaving any bones be covered in blood?
Zhou Gu was brave enough to squat down and take a closer look with a lamp. He gasped when he saw the shapeless head and could not help but turn around and ask Zhou Guo, "Did you hit it with your fist?"
Zhou Guo was stunned, "No."
Zhou Gu pointed at the head and asked, "Why did it become like this?"
It doesn't even look like a tiger's head.
Li and the others came closer to take a look and were also surprised.
Zhou Guo looked at it curiously and couldn't help but look at the old man, "Master, did you hit him?"
The old man couldn't help but twist his arm. "I was the one who punched him in the left eye. I only punched him this time. Alas, I'm too old to be useful now. If I were young, I could beat a whole head by myself."
Zhou Dacang came out of the house and asked, "Are you injured?"
The old man said casually: "It's okay, the arm fell off and I reattached it."
The whole family looked over and asked with concern: "Your arm is broken? Was it hit by a giant insect?"
"What's going on now? Isn't a punch from the big bug very serious?"
The old man said, "It's no big deal. It's connected now and it's the same as before it fell off. It fell off a few times when I was young, but it keeps falling off when it's too frequent."
Even Zhou Guo was speechless after hearing this.
Is this a habitual fracture?
Li asked hurriedly: "Are you injured anywhere else?"
The old man shook his head.
Li looked at Zhou Guo again, "Were you touched anywhere?"
Zhou Guo couldn't help but touch his chest. He almost lost his soul when the big beast pressed him down. His blood was boiling. Now he seemed to be fine?
I moved around and didn't feel any discomfort, so I was about to say it was nothing.
Li and the others gathered around, shocked and worried, "Were we attacked here?"
"How could we encounter a giant insect out of nowhere? We have been in the mountains for so many years and have never seen one. Where did this thing come from?"
Zhou Dacang also came over. Being beaten here is no ordinary matter. If something goes wrong, it can cost one's life.
Who cares about the dead beast on the ground?
Zhou Guo said, "It's okay. I was just bumped. It hurt a little when I was bumped. Now I'm completely fine. Master has checked my pulse and said there's nothing wrong."
Only then did everyone feel relieved.
Now that both of them were fine, everyone was able to look at the big beast on the ground.
This thing usually only appears in everyone's conversation. People like them have never seen anyone else, and they all heard it from other people.
Because all the people I met are gone.
Even when I saw the dead insect, I was still a little scared and didn't dare to touch it.
Zhou Xing said: "A big bug is a big bug. Even if it's gone, it still looks very majestic!"
Everyone nodded. If they encountered this thing, their calves would probably tremble and they wouldn't be able to move.
Zhou Dacang looked at them for a while and said, "Everyone is back, let's eat."
Li slapped her head and said, "Right, right, right, look at my brain. Let's eat first. Everyone is hungry at this time."
Zhou Xing went to the kitchen and fetched two basins of hot water.
Zhou Guo and the old man each had a basin of water and washed their faces and hands.
Zhou Xing and Zhou Gu took handkerchiefs and swept over the two people, sweeping away the dust and fallen leaves.
Zhou Guo sat on the kang, looking at the huge table of delicious food in front of him, his stomach growling again.
I'm hungry already!
After the tiger was killed, I felt like my hands and feet were no longer my own and everything was soft.
The whole family was hungry. Normally, they would have finished their meal half an hour ago, but now they hadn't even started eating.
Zhou Guo finished a bowl of rice before slowing down. He had to eat the delicious food on the table slowly.
Today we have stir-fried shrimp, stir-fried scallops, lamb stewed with carrots, and pine mushroom chicken soup!
And a plate of yolk-stained salted duck eggs.
There are just not enough dishes, but that doesn’t matter, the lamb stewed with carrots and pine mushroom chicken soup are both big pots, which are definitely enough to eat.
The stir-fried shrimps were delicious. Zhou Guo liked it very much, but Zhou Gu and Zhou Xing couldn't eat it because they thought it had a fishy smell.
Li said, "These are the last shrimps we have at home. If you eat them now, they will be gone."
Zhou Guo said: "It's okay, I'll buy some when I'm free in the city."
Can’t you afford to eat shrimp at home now?
Zhou Dacang asked, "Which mountain did you encounter the giant insect on?"
Li said, "Yes, we have lived here for several years. We have never seen any big insects when we go up the mountain every year. We have never heard the villagers mention that there are still big insects in the mountains."
Zhou Guo couldn't help but look at the old man guiltily, and told him what happened honestly, ignoring the fact that the old man insisted on moving closer. He just said that he went up to take a look out of curiosity, but in the end he didn't run away.
I feel that the master was determined to meet the big tiger, but ended up coming back injured, which somewhat damaged his image.
The old man looked at her in surprise and said nothing, which was quite appropriate.
