Back to 78: My Leisurely Country Life

Chapter 8



"Fuck, this turtle is so big?"

He Qiang's eyes widened, ecstatic.

This mountain stream is not big, only about one meter wide, but I didn't expect to raise such a big turtle!

He Qiang sensed that the turtle was bigger than a washbasin, how many pounds would it weigh?

He Qiang didn't care about using the unicorn arm. He Qiang used the kinetic ability to make the bushes make way for a path and ran towards the old turtle.

The stream converged here to form a puddle of about three or four meters. Under the clear stream, you can see a huge old turtle running hard, trying to get back to the cave.

But He Qiang rushed over very quickly after manipulating the plants. The turtle, which was basking in the sun in the puddle, was caught off guard at this moment, and most of its body was exposed outside the cave.

He Qiang didn't care about that, he just pounced on it, grabbed the old turtle's leg and pulled it back!

""Plop!"

He Qiang sat down in the puddle, but he also brought the old turtle out.

"Bring it to you!"

He Qiang's eyes were shining with excitement, and he didn't even care about the pheasant struggling wildly in the stream.

Compared with this old turtle, it didn't matter if the pheasant drowned!

At worst, it would be killed and stewed into soup!

After flipping the turtle over with force, He Qiang directly picked him up. After throwing it on the shore, He Qiang turned back to pick up the pheasant that was frantically struggling in the water.

Fortunately, it didn't soak for long. Although the pheasant was wilted, it was not dead yet.

He Qiang took out the rolled snakeskin bag in his trouser pocket and put the turtle in it directly. Then he made a few air holes with a knife, tied the opening with a rope, and put it in the backpack.

With such a heavy weight, there is no need to worry about the turtle escaping in the middle of the journey. He can't outrun people on the road at all!

""I've made a fortune!"

He Qiang smiled so hard that his mouth was almost crooked.

Nowadays, wild turtles are only a few cents per pound.

After all, people these days lack oil and water, and there is not much fat in turtle meat.

But this old turtle is different!

Scarcity makes things more valuable, this is an eternal truth.

Even in difficult times, those who have the conditions will flock to these delicacies.

"This thing can definitely be sold for a good price!"

He Qiang could already see the scene of his several great groups united!

With the weight of this old turtle, He Qiang could call it a day. Otherwise

, he would be exhausted to death if he continued to move around in the mountains with this old turtle on his back.

It was because he had supernatural powers, otherwise he would not dare to move around in the deep mountains.

Although the mountains and forests here do not have all kinds of ferocious beasts like those in the Northeast, no one who is not an experienced hunter can guarantee that they will not get lost in the mountains.

The bushes are overgrown and poisonous insects are everywhere. It can be said that it is difficult to move forward. If He Qiang did not have supernatural perception, how could he have walked into such a deep area?

The speed of a normal person in the mountains would definitely be much slower than his!

Moreover, even the villagers living in the mountains are mostly engaged in farming, and almost no one makes a living by hunting.

"Even if someone is jealous of my harvest, I will take him to the entrance of the old turtle's cave, and he can only say that I deserve to be rich!"

He Qiang praised his wit.

After tossing for so long, He Qiang's stomach was rumbling.

He took out the dry food, looked at the pancake in his hand, and slowly put it down.

Isn't it so hard just to make life better?

How can you bear to eat pickles under this pancake?

Turning his eyes to the stream, He Qiang prepared to prepare some side dishes!

There is only a stone beach of about two or three square meters in this puddle where He Qiang is staying, and the rest of the place is covered by lush bushes and trees by the stream.

The old turtle's nest is in the mud under a large patch of bushes and grass.

Although the water plants in the stream are not lush, the bushes and grass by the river are completely enough!

With He Qiang's current remaining energy, he easily caught two palm-sized fish.

He Qiang used stones from the beach to surround the firewood, and after processing the fish, he put it directly on the fire to grill.

The seasonings that Wu Shuhua got came in handy at this time.

Although the spices are insufficient, the fish grilled with chili powder, pepper powder and salt has a unique flavor. The grilled fish was served with pancakes, pickled cowpeas and pickled radishes. He Qiang ate most of the pancakes.

Wu Shuhua prepared a day's worth for him!

After eating and drinking, He Qiang stepped on the old turtle, held the pheasant in his hand and closed his eyes to rest. He couldn't do strenuous exercise after eating, and he needed to digest it a little.

Half an hour later, He Qiang threw the old turtle into the backpack, picked up the chicken in one hand and the knife in the other, and rushed down the mountain!

Plants and trees that have been sensed by superpowers will have special induction. The human brain may be"face-blind" when recognizing plants, but superpowers... No.

In He Qiang's perception, there is a clear difference between what has been linked and what has not been linked, and he can clearly distinguish the difference.

So on his way back to the city, there is no possibility of getting lost by referring to the marks.

He is like a child of nature, and feels at home in these deep mountains and old forests!

When going down the mountain, because he was only concerned about the return journey, he went much faster. At the same time, he picked a few wild fruits that he had noted down when he went up the mountain!

The most was a mountain loquat. He Qiang used his supernatural power to swing the branches and picked at least ten pounds and put them in the backpack.

The main reason is that this season is the last period for loquats. If you don't eat them soon, they will fall off!

However, the other mountain cherry can still wait for a while, so He Qiang only put two or three pounds in his clothes.

Carrying more than forty pounds on his body , this almost cost He Qiang his life.

But when he thought of Niuniu at home giggling while eating loquats, He Qiang gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to throw away the loquats.

He had not done much work since he was a child. Although he was outside every day and was in good health, he was exhausted after coming down the mountain.

When he walked out of the woods, it was almost dark.

No one had been working in the fields for a long time. He Qiang sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

The sun didn't make him sweat, but he was sweating profusely because of carrying dozens of kilograms of things.

Looking at the nearest family, He Qiang remembered that he had to call them Third Uncle.

Putting down the backpack, He Qiang threw the pheasant there, picked up a handful of mountain loquats, and walked over with bare arms.

"Third uncle, third uncle, it’s me, He Qiang!!"

The people in the room were quickly startled and came out.

Seeing He Qiang holding a loquat with his bare arms, they were stunned.

""Third aunt, I went to pick some mountain loquats today. There are too many. I am too tired to carry them. Can you please go to my house and ask my dad to come and help?"

He Qiang explained immediately to avoid misunderstandings between the couple.

"Hey, Qiang, you are so polite!"

The third uncle had never seen He Qiang come to give gifts before, so he stood at the door without moving, not daring to accept it!

He Qiang was speechless, thinking, am I that scary?

I was just a little lazy and gluttonous before, and I didn't do anything to steal or bully men or women!

"Third aunt, please bring the things over here to take it!"

"Why are you standing there? Didn't Qiang Waer ask you to help call for help? Go now!"

A housewife would not miss this good deal. She could get at least one or two kilograms of loquats by running a few steps. She would never miss it!
