In the end, Li Anran was unable to find out from Yingzi why Fatty Wang had left. The only thing he could be sure of was that this fellow had left, but like Hu Bayi, he would send letters back from time to time.
However, as time went by, the frequency of sending letters became lower and lower. In the past year, she had not received a single letter. Therefore, Yanzi's attitude towards the male educated youth was not very friendly, but she just ignored him.
Li Anran also felt sorry for Yanzi's encounter. However, when he met Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang, who would never be able to live in peace for the rest of their lives, he still hoped that the two of them would stay in Gang Gang Camp and live an honest life. Hehe…he was thinking too much.
"Yingzi, tell me about the strange stories of the ten miles and eight villages. I like to listen to this the most.”Li Anran smiled and changed the topic. It was also a topic that he was most concerned about." To tell you the truth, when I first learned boxing, I also read some stories, which are legendary novels.”
Although Yingzi matured early, that was only relative to the children in the village. In addition, Li Anran was now considered her master in name. In fact, she wouldn't think too much about it without explaining.
"Our village has a lot of strange things.”Yingzi thought for a moment." The two male educated youths who made Sister Yanzi sad previously, I heard that they went to the weasel grave and met the weasel great deity. If it wasn't for their good luck, I heard that they wouldn't have been able to come back."”
"Oh? Also, tell me about this in detail.”Li Anran looked curious.
Therefore, in the following wandering process, Yingzi talked about the legends of the Yellow Skin Tomb, the Bull Heart Mountain, and the Savage Valley. She even mentioned the legend of the Japanese's Guandong Army fortress. Li Anran's eyes lit up and he had an idea.
However, he didn't think about it immediately. It was better to take it slow since he was new here.
Anyway, Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi would have to wait until 1981 to come back and take care of the Kwantung Army's fortress. Before that, the general's tomb and the fortress were safe.
As for whether he could find a place, Li Anran was not worried at all.
He didn't know anything about Feng Shui, nor did he have the 16-character Yin-Yang Feng Shui secret technique, but he had a pet!
When the time was right, he would bring the Frost Wolf out. As long as he had a rough range, he would not be afraid of not finding the place.
Li Anran and Yingzi chatted and laughed for the entire morning. On the way, they even met up with Zhang Pengcheng and the others to chat for a while.
He learned that the educated youth did not have much work in Ganggang Camp and was not treated specially. The main reason was that there was not much good land in this area that could be used to grow food. The cultivated land in Ganggang Camp was pitifully small.
Because this place relied on the mountains, there were not many farming species. In the summer nights, educated youths had to take turns to look at the crops in the fields. Because they were afraid of being eaten by wild beasts, one or two people had to stay in the crops every night.
The crops in the mountains were not like those in the North China Plain. Instead, they were planted in the east and west. Wherever the land was flat, a piece of land would be planted. Therefore, he had to go out often at night to avoid the wild animals from harming the crops that he had worked hard to grow.
The educated youths were not good at farming and hunting, but it was not a problem to guard the farmland to prevent wild animals from harming the crops.
If something really happened, he only needed to hit the gong. Not only would he be able to get the villagers to help, but he would also be able to scare away the ordinary wild animals.
As for winter, sorry, even the villagers of Ganggang Camp had to stay at home and not go anywhere, let alone educated youths.
It couldn't be helped. The winter here was much colder than in Beijing.
Although it was already the end of 1973, which was considered winter, it was still cold and drizzling in the Ganggang Camp.
When she entered the Ninth Heaven, it would be colder and colder day by day. When the time came, there would be a few heavy snowfalls. Other than staying at home, she would not be able to go anywhere.
Therefore, the educated youths who came to Ganggang Camp, except for the fact that it was a little too cold in winter, were usually full of food, fish, and meat. Their usual workload was also very small. Compared to the group of educated youths who went to the northwest and northern Shaanxi, they were much more comfortable.
After making an appointment to drink tonight, Li Anran followed Yingzi back. It was already noon. It was almost time to eat!
"By the way, Big Brother Anran, according to the customs of our village, we will be driving out the winter wilderness in a few days.”On the way back, Yingzi suddenly mentioned something." Since you're so powerful, why don't you go into the mountains with us?"”
"Drive out the Winter Barren?" Li Anran was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, the people in our village rely on the mountains to eat. Other than opening up a few acres of land in the flat area and planting some daily rations, the rest of the food is mainly obtained by hunting in the mountains.”Yingzi nodded." Swerts, roe deers, wild rabbits, and pheasants on the mountain, as well as the wood ears and mushrooms in the forest, are all very chewy. It's not a problem to eat until you're full.”
"Isn't it too late to go to the Winter Wilderness now?”Before Li Anran transmigrated, he more or less knew something about this." I remember that things like driving away the winter wilderness should be done in autumn, right? It's only the end of the year."
"Eh? Brother Anran also knows the time of the Winter Wilderness?”Yingzi was a little surprised." In the past, we did hunt a large number of wild boars and rabbits when they were fat in autumn. We dried them and stored them to survive the winter.”
"However, the weather this year is a little abnormal. My grandpa said that the village will organize a small-scale winter famine drive in two days. Big Brother Anran, since you're so powerful, why don't you come with us?”
"You guys? Yingzi, are you going too?" Li Anran looked at the little loli in front of him in surprise.
"Of course. I went to the Winter Wilderness in the autumn and hunted a lot of rabbits.”Yingzi's little face was full of 'Praise me!'.
"Then you're really amazing!" Li Anran naturally gave him a compliment, but it was also sincere. After all, it was impossible for an 11-year-old girl to hunt in the future, but she was definitely good at gaming." Sure, as long as your grandfather agrees, I'll go."”
"Other educated youths can't do it, but Brother Anran is so powerful that he definitely can!”Yingzi was very confident.
By the time the two of them returned to their residence, Yanzi had already prepared lunch.
What surprised Li Anran was that the female educated youth named Gao Yuanyuan was also there.
However, he didn't think too much about it and didn't say anything. He just greeted Ge Erpao and followed him onto the kang.
The two of them sat facing each other. In the middle was a Kang table. On the table were four dishes, one soup, and a bottle of wine.
The dishes were the ones that he hadn't finished yesterday. Stewed chicken with mushrooms and stewed pork with vermicelli. Together with the peanuts that Li Anran had brought, a side dish that was made from dried wild vegetables from the mountains and soaked in warm water. Finally, it was blanched and seasoned. With a plate of salted vegetables, it was ready.
Li Anran was amused when she saw the salted vegetables. Normally, salted vegetables would not be served when there were guests at home, just like yesterday.
However, this meal of salted vegetables showed that Ge Erpao no longer treated him as an outsider.
"Aren't Yingzi and the others coming to eat?" Li Anran looked at the kitchen after pouring the wine.
"They'll eat at Yanzi's house later. They're girls, so they can eat their own food.”Ge Erpao smiled meaningfully." Right, Anran, I see that you're not only good at boxing, but you also have other skills, right?”
