The next morning.
Li Yu woke up early.
“Brother-in-law, I feel amazing today, when are we going up the mountain?”
After waking up, the little girl felt full of energy.
She thought it was because she had eaten so well these past two days, so she couldn’t wait to go up the mountain with Li Yu again.
But Li Yu just rolled his eyes.
This little girl had interrupted his good time yesterday.
He had nothing to do in the first half of the night, so he had to study the attribute points he had been awarded.
He had raised both the little girl and Xiu Xiu's physique to six points, exceeding the normal level.
It would be strange if they still felt bad.
He had enough for himself for now, so he added all the remaining points to the dogs.
After all, they were the main force in hunting.
So the data of the three dogs became this.
【Hunting Dog Hua Hua: Physique 5. Agility 5. Endurance 5. Scent: 7. Intelligence 6.】
【Hunting Dog Da Hei: Physique 6. Agility 6. Endurance 6. Scent: 4. Intelligence 5.】
【Hunting Dog Er Hei: Physique 6. Agility 6. Endurance 5. Scent: 4. Intelligence 4.】
Especially Hua Hua's scent was increased to 7 points, which would definitely make it easier to find prey.
He even wanted to take a stroll up the mountain and try it out.
“We'll talk about it after we eat breakfast.”
After what happened yesterday.
Li Yu was not comfortable leaving either of them at home.
He had to take them up the mountain with him, after all, their current physique was a waste if they didn’t help pull the prey.
There was still a hunting rifle left in the house that the old man used.
It was time for his wife to start getting used to it.
“Is Da Yu home?”
The little girl was just about to say something.
Then she heard a cheerful female voice outside the yard.
Li Yu was slightly taken aback.
He didn’t have much contact with the villagers in the village on a daily basis.
Who was coming over so early in the morning?
“Yes, I'm here, wait a minute!”
Li Yu put on his coat outside, opened the door and went out.
The little girl was also curious, and followed him like a shadow.
“Hu嫂子, come in and have a seat!”
The wooden courtyard wall was only half a person’s height, and you could see who was outside the courtyard when you walked out the door.
Li Yu knew the visitor.
She was the wife of Wu Da Ge, the eldest brother in the village.
They were both hunters, and Wu Da Ge had gone hunting with the old man and him in the past.
Unfortunately, last year when he was hunting, his gun misfired.
He was pressed to the ground by a bear.
By the time Li Yu and the old man received the news and went into the woods with their guns to find him, the bear had already gone, and the man was eaten...
It was all very tragic, and this 嫂子 became a widow.
She had a seven-year-old daughter who she would have to rely on from now on, a pitiful situation.
Li Yu opened the courtyard door and wanted to invite her into the house to sit down.
But Hu寡妇 waved her hand and said.
“No need to bother, Da Yu, my 丫丫 is weak and has caught a cold, I heard you just killed a bear yesterday, so I came to see if I could get a bone to go home and stew for her to make up for it.”
As she spoke.
She felt particularly embarrassed.
“It's nothing!”
Li Yu turned his head and said to the little girl.
“Xiao Min, go inside and cut two pounds of bear meat, and take out two bones for Hu嫂子.”
There was a rule among hunters here.
Anything on the mountain was everyone’s, if you hunted it, your own family could eat it.
But if someone came to ask for it.
If they weren’t particularly bad, they would usually give it.
As the old man told him, it was because they had done so much killing on the mountain, giving some to the poor was a way to make merit for their children.
Later, if their family had problems, others would speak up for them.
This was also why yesterday, Li Jia老太太 came to make trouble, and almost no one spoke up for her.
Besides the fact that she was disliked by everyone, most people remembered the old man’s kindness.
Besides, there was so much bear meat, how much could the three of them eat at home?
So there was nothing to be reluctant about.
“I’ll go and cut it now.”
The little girl glanced at Hu寡妇, and without asking why, she rushed into the house.
She had to get her sister to come out and watch.
Hu寡妇 was as big as a cow, she was scary!
Don’t let her lure her brother-in-law away.
“No need, no need, that's too much!”
“It's okay, 嫂子, just wait, is 丫丫 sick?”
Knowing that this 嫂子 was shy, Li Yu didn't want to embarrass her.
He quickly changed the subject.
Speaking of this.
Hu寡妇's eyes lowered.
“It's nothing serious, she's just a little weak, she caught a cold, she's taken medicine and is much better now.”
If her husband was okay.
Their Wu family would also be envied by the villagers.
They could eat meat every few days.
If they had a son for her husband, the whole family would be so happy.
Unfortunately, fate was cruel, and the sky of their home collapsed.
She could only rely on herself, and the two of them could barely eat half-full, and she starved her daughter like this.
Every time she thought of this, she couldn’t help but want to cry.
Seeing this, Li Yu couldn’t help but sigh.
This wasn’t because he saw that Hu寡妇 looked good and had a good figure, and was attracted to her.
It was because he truly felt that in this era, it was not easy for her to support a family by herself.
He fumbled in his pocket and finally took out a wad of money.
About five yuan, that was all he had left.
He directly stuffed it into Hu寡妇's hand.
“嫂子, I don't have any tickets, you take this money.”
“Oh, you can't do that!”
She had already come to ask for bones, and she had come with a lot of mental preparation.
Li Yu was already grateful that he was willing to give them two pounds of meat because of old Wu’s friendship.
If she were to accept Li Yu’s money, she would feel guilty.
So she grabbed Li Yu's hand and pushed the money back.
“嫂子, just take it.”
“No way, Da Yu, how can I take your money?”
As the two of them pushed back and forth, they inevitably touched each other.
Without paying attention, Li Yu pressed on a soft part.
They both fell silent immediately.
Hu寡妇 never thought it would turn out like this, she felt both embarrassed and angry.
Li Yu only had one thought left in his heart, that people can’t be compared, some people try every way but can’t grow up, while others can grow so plump even by drinking cold water.
“嫂子, just take it, 丫丫 is old enough to go to school, she can’t delay, this is just a little bit of my heart as an uncle.”
“But....”
Hu寡妇 wanted to say something else.
But Li Yu directly stuffed the money into her hand.
“There's no but, if 丫丫 ever remembers my kindness, it’s worth it.”
