Chapter 833 Winter Hunt (2)
Although the two of them accidentally guessed some of the truth, Liu Jingxue was worried that others would suspect something after hearing what they said. She was also worried that they would take the credit for themselves, causing dissatisfaction among Uncle Ji and his son, so she quickly said,
"It was clearly Uncle Ji, Big Brother Shi Hu, and Hu Zi who made the effort to find the prey. Why are you putting the blame on me?
I didn't do anything.
The biggest contributors to our achievements today are Uncle Ji, Brother Shi Hu, and Hu Zi. Don’t make any mistakes.”
As Liu Jingxue spoke, she secretly looked at the expressions of Uncle Ji and his son.
But who knew that the two of them didn't seem unhappy at all, but instead happily agreed with what they said.
"Xiaoxue, if we talk about the contributions of this hunt, the biggest ones go to you three siblings, and then Mingxuan and Junhao.
Among all these prey, most of them were hunted by you.
My father and I only contributed a little in finding prey, but we were not the ones who made the biggest contribution.
And I think the arrival of these prey today is a bit strange. At this time of year, shouldn’t they all be staying in their caves? Why are they running out?
I feel like you are the lucky general that the older generation talked about. As long as you are here, we will always return with a full load." Ji Shihu said with a smile.
"Dad, do you think I'm right?"
Uncle Ji took a puff of his pipe and replied with a smile, "Well said."
He looked at Liu Jingxue, "Xiaoxue, what they said just now is true. You have a lot to do with our achievements."
Seeing Liu Jingxue's disbelief, Uncle Ji spoke again, "
Don't believe me, there are many weird things like this circulating among us hunters.
I also discovered a long time ago that you have this ability, otherwise I wouldn't ask the captain to take you along every time we go into the mountains to hunt.
But Xiaoxue, you have to be careful. Since God has given you such a blessing, you cannot abuse it.
If you go too far, it may have a bad impact on you.
Fortunately, our production team only organizes hunting teams to go into the mountains twice in winter before the autumn harvest, otherwise I would really be afraid of ruining your fortune."
Liu Jingxue thought to herself, it's not that I have the ability to attract animals, it's clearly that I am cheating with my spiritual sense, I can find prey and lead you over.
But she said, "Uncle Ji, why are you fooling around with them?
It was you and Brother Shihu who found the prey and asked Heizi to follow it. Why are you now relying on my illusory good fortune? "
Uncle Ji saw that Liu Jingxue didn't believe him, but he didn't get angry. He just shook his head and said,
"You are still too young and have seen too little.
When you reach my age and have experienced more, you will realize that some of the things passed down by our ancestors are still very reasonable.
It’s a pity that we are not allowed to talk about that now.”
“Whether you believe it or not, take my uncle’s words to heart and don’t abuse your blessing.
Don't let others easily discover your abnormality in the future." Uncle Ji reminded again.
Liu Jianjun thought of Liu Jingxue's abilities. If she wasn't blessed, she wouldn't have been able to obtain these.
He has been on missions outside many times, so he knows something about some talented people.
Worried that Liu Jingxue wouldn't take it seriously, he quickly reminded her, "Xiaoxue, Uncle Ji eats more salt than you eat rice, and he won't harm you.
You must remember his words."
“Yes, Xiaoxue.
It is better to believe in such things than not to believe in them, so we should be careful." Liu Jianguo also said.
One or two people said the same thing. They were either elders or cousins. What could Liu Jingxue do?
Although he knew they had guessed wrong, he could only agree, "Okay, I'll remember that."
Fearing that they would continue talking about this, Liu Jingxue quickly changed the subject.
"Uncle Ji, my elder brother and second brother have been learning with you all the way, what do you think of their learning?
Do you have a talent for this?”
Uncle Ji laughed when he heard it, "Yes, of course, they are much better than your brother Shi Hu.
I had some basic knowledge before, but I was not very familiar with the ice and snow, and some of the habits of animals. With a little guidance, I can apply what I have learned to other situations.
As long as you observe more and practice more, you will become a good player. "
"Uncle Ji deserves a reward. How can we compare with the Shi Hu brothers?" Liu Jianguo said modestly.
Uncle Ji looked at his son and said with some regret,
"He has been following me into the mountains since he was young, so I taught him these things. Over time, he knows more than you do.
If you start learning at the same time, with his brain, he is not even worthy of carrying your shoes."
"We are all born by our parents, so how come you are so many times better than those stupid people in our production team?"
"Hey, Uncle Ji, just talk about Shi Hu, don't bring us into this," a member of the hunting team argued.
Others also agreed, "Yes, Uncle Ji, I think I am quite smart, I am definitely not stupid."
Uncle Ji glanced at the two of them and said, "You are worse than Shi Hu, you are not smart at all.
When I taught you back then, I taught you so many times, but you still kept making mistakes.
How about I tell you about the jokes you made, so that everyone can see how smart you are."
The two recalled the time when they first joined the hunting team and were scolded by Uncle Ji, and they quickly begged for mercy.
"Uncle Ji, we were wrong. Please give us some face and don't mention those things."
“Yes, Uncle Ji, we are all fathers now, so let’s not talk about the past.
If this gets to the children's ears, we will lose all our dignity."
"Oh, Dagen actually knows how to save face. He is no longer the stupid boy who blew up the manure pit with firecrackers."
"But I remember that he did this when his wife was pregnant."
"You don't know this. It only took this man one day to grow from a childish man to a mature one."
Da Gen's face turned red, and I don't know if it was because of the cold or the shame.
He said threateningly, “Stop it, there are female comrades and PLA comrades here, don’t talk nonsense to me.
We are all from the same production team, and we all know each other. I have no handle on you.
If anyone talks nonsense again, I will expose all your embarrassing stories.
Don't blame me for not talking about brotherhood when the time comes."
Zhao Junhao watched the fun and encouraged, "What are you afraid of? He only has one mouth and can talk more than all of you.
Get two people to shut him up, and let the others tell us what he has done. "
He clicked his tongue twice, "How could he have thought of using firecrackers to blow up a manure pit?
The celestial maiden scattered flowers, but he scattered excrement, so he was not afraid of getting splashed all over himself. "
The more Zhao Junhao thought about it, the more he felt unclean. He couldn't help but shudder twice.
“Just thinking about that scene makes me feel like throwing up the food I ate the night before.
He can still eat.”
The others all laughed when they heard this, and one person started to make a noise,
“How could I not eat it?
According to his family, he ate the most and enjoyed the most at the New Year's Eve dinner that night."
"Silly Zhu, if you dare to say another word, I will tell you all your embarrassing stories."
"I'll shut up and I won't say anything. Please be merciful with your words." The man begged for mercy.
There was another round of laughter.
An older villager said, "Okay, everyone, stop making trouble and take a rest.
We have come a long way this time, and we are still some distance away from returning. If we don’t speed up, we will have to wait until midnight to get down the mountain.”
Uncle Ji also nodded, "Those who have rested well should prepare the torches in advance."
