036 Diligent Dalang

The Li family's main course for dinner yesterday was blood stew.

When Mrs. Zhang heard that it was tiger blood, she didn't dare to use her chopsticks at all.

Instead, Li Dalang gathered around the fire pit and ate a lot. But no matter how much he ate, he couldn't get enough of it from Li Kui and Li Quan.

Even so, when he woke up the next day, Li Dalang's entire face seemed to be swollen, and there were two looming blood stains under his nose, which was very miserable.

Li Dalang still had a restless temper and was not ashamed of himself. He went out to look for work with a devilish face.

He did not work part-time, nor did he work as a hired hand. No family in the village could afford to hire anyone. People in the mountains were really free if they wanted to be idle. No one would care if they wanted to sleep at home. If they were busy, even if they were busy

It’s a lifetime of hard work with no time to spare. In winter, all the wild products in the mountains have been harvested, but there is still one thing you can pick up—chestnuts.

"Dalang, were you beaten by your brother again?"

"Da Lang, I said you are too cowardly to fight back?"

Although they are fellow villagers and members of the same tribe, there are no entertainment activities for everyone. When something big happens, they all have to join in the fun. Li Kui just completed the feat of killing a tiger with his bare hands, but he can't stop the people in the mountains from watching the fun and causing trouble.

Each and every one of them instigated Li Dalang to fight back against his own brothers. We couldn’t let that kid get complacent.

Especially Han Dahu personally promised Li Kui to give him a bonus of one hundred guan for assisting him.

One hundred strings!

Ordinary people may not accumulate so much in a lifetime, but Li Kui got it easily. Pinkeye can be found everywhere, even people from the mountains with simple personalities are indispensable.

Li Dalang angrily threw the sack in his hand to the ground, pointed at the person's nose and cursed: "You guys, don't make sarcastic remarks. It's not like no one has seen my brother's ability. If you want to bring trouble on him, I will lead you to destroy him."

I hate the harmony in my family. Do you deserve it?"

Who are the people in Baizhang Village!

Orion.

Mountain people.

He is honest and honest, but he also has a bad temper.

If Li Dalang had dared to speak like this before, most of the boys in the village would have dared to stop him with their arms akimbo, and then a group of people would go up and chop him hard. But his brother is Li Kui.

This guy even beat tigers to death with his bare hands.

No matter how unpopular Li Dalang is with Li Kui, he is still his elder brother. If after killing Li Dalang, he provokes a brother who is more powerful than the big insect, and the whole village rushes forward, he may not be a match.

The men in the village all blushed with anger and endured it. But Li Dalang said reluctantly: "You guys thought I was beaten? You are wrong. I ate tiger blood last night. Then

Taste, tsk tsk tsk..."

"I didn't expect to wake up like this the next day. I also figured it out, this tiger! After all, it is the fierce god in the mountains, and my life is too short to suppress it." Li Dalang said proudly, he

I am also a man who has eaten tiger blood. You all are beeping. If you want to be like this man, you don’t have that fate.

Li Lin is the fifth oldest, and he has a mouth that refuses to accept anyone, but he is really convinced by Li Kui. If he refuses to accept it, he doesn't even have the confidence to deal with a wolf with his bare hands, let alone kill a tiger with his fists.

.But...who is Li Dalang? You dare to be arrogant in front of him. He is a person who even the old patriarch dares to contradict. Who in the village does not know such a person like him?

To scold Li Kui, he has no courage.

He was afraid of losing his temper with Li Quan.

In fact, I don't have the guts. Everyone knows that Li Quan and Li Kui are fellow disciples who were taught by the same master. But smart people think that they have higher IQs than Li Quan and are not as knowledgeable as fools.

But Li Dalang, he was really not afraid of this coward. He pointed at Li Dalang's nose and said: "Dalang, stop talking nonsense. I have seen Li Kui and Li Quan this morning, and there is no swelling on their faces. Just you,

It swelled up like a wasp stung by a wasp."

With a swollen head, any expression can make people look a bit weird, but Li Dalang smiled strangely: "How do you say Li Kui is my brother? He can kill a tiger with his bare hands, how can the tiger not be afraid of him? But the tiger is afraid of him

You are not afraid of me. I ate tiger blood and was poisoned by the tiger. My body bones cannot suppress the evil nature of the tiger. But my brother is not afraid. He can beat a living tiger to death. Are you afraid of death?"

This is simply nonsense.

However, Li Lin was at a loss for words when faced with Li Dalang. He found that he had a lot of truths but could not refute Li Dalang's fallacies, so he snorted angrily and left.

The backbone had all left, and the crowd of onlookers naturally dispersed.

After returning home, Li Dalang dumped the chestnuts in the sack into the yard, preparing to peel off the outer layer of hard thorny shells, take out the fruits inside, and dry them in the sun, so that they could be eaten when there was a food famine at home.

for a while.

"Brother, do you still have room in your house? Make some space for me to put some chestnuts."

"Li Quan, don't just stand around like this. Come with me to the mountains to carry chestnuts. Don't just eat and don't work. A big family doesn't support idle people."

Seeing the excitement at home, Li Kui originally didn't want to take care of it, but this Li Dalang even cared about his house, making him unable to avoid it, so he had to come forward and say a few words.

Li Kui pointed to the chestnuts on the ground and asked: "These wild products from the mountains? How many are you planning to carry back?"

Chestnuts not only have a shiny shell, but also a prickly hard shell on the outside. They are hard stubbles with two shells. There are four or five chestnuts under one hard shell. You need to pry them out after cracking the shell one by one.

The chestnuts inside. This takes a lot of effort, and chestnuts can’t really be eaten as food. Although these chestnuts can nourish the kidneys, eating too much will cause internal heat.

How can he, a young man, satisfy his hunger with this thing?

In the past, Li Kui harvested prey through hunting, and exchanged his furs for food in the town. There were both wheat and millet. The main thing was millet. This thing can steam rice, although it does not have as many calories as wheat provides.

This food is healthy, it won't cause acid reflux after eating it, and it also nourishes the stomach. After selling prey for money, most of the food he gets is millet.

Chestnuts were good as a recreational food on weekdays, and he had no intention of carrying them home as rations.

But Li Dalang smiled and said: "They are all over the mountains and plains, and other people's barns in the village have these things. As long as we work hard, our family can save enough food for the coming year."

"Our family has no land."

Li Kui had to remind Li Dalang, a fool, that this thing could withstand famine. But their family had no land and had to buy food. Isn't it fatal to eat chestnuts every day?

Li Dalang slapped his head and immediately made arrangements: "It is even more important to reserve more, our family is all about this job!"

He glanced at the two collapsed houses, and then smiled and said: "Brother, I was also read this afternoon. Let me repair the house with you, and then wait for Mr. Han to send the money, and then buy some land. Although Li Quan is stupid,

But it is stronger than an ox, and you can even save money on buying an ox..."

Li Kui would turn a blind eye to others at most, but when Li Dalang asked him not to even read the book, but to repair the house and collect mountain goods, as briskly as a village man, could he agree to this?

He pointed to studying to change his career and become a master. If he even gave up studying, what else would he pursue in his life besides going to Liangshan?

"You're dreaming!"

It was really annoying for Li Kui to meet such a chatty brother, a guy who never stops working hard, not only with his hands, but also with his mouth.

He decided to get rid of this thing. He must not let this thing hinder his study and progress.

What can I do?

By the way, find him a job.
