Chapter Twenty-Eight: Catching a Phoenix
When Li Hua'er returned to the trap again, Yue Fang was already waiting there, with two rabbits behind her, and was playing with the hunting dog. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
But obviously, Yue Fang's hunting dog is much more mature than Yue Fang's little girl, no matter how the owner teases, he sits there with a lazy expression, but his eyes flash a trace of fierceness from time to time, as if he can rush out at any time.
Seeing Li Hua'er coming, Yue Fang immediately stopped playing with the hound, but her eyes flashed with a light that Li Hua'er couldn't understand, and smiled at her: "You came back quite quickly." ”
Li Hua'er smiled and asked, "Have you already hit the prey?" ”
Yue Fang smiled: "Yes, on the way down the mountain, I just beat this pair of rabbits." I was worried about your trap, so I took a quick turn and came back again. As she spoke, the light in her eyes flickered even more, and she pointed to the trap and said, "You have a good skill in this trap, and you have caught something terrible." ”
Li Hua'er listened to her exaggeration, and came over to clean up the messy fallen leaves near the cage, and when she looked again, it was the pheasant with pure golden tail feathers, standing in the cage unconvinced.
Li Hua'er suddenly felt very happy.
That's great! This is really unexpected, her arrow feathers finally have hope!
Here, Li Hua'er only felt the joy of catching the prey, but that Yue Fang was obviously not very satisfied with her reaction at the moment.
"Mountain god Niang bless, you caught the phoenix, it's just like this? If I caught this phoenix, even my father and brother would have to respect me. Yue Fang said to Li Hua'er.
Li Hua'er didn't expect that what she caught was still something exquisite, so she couldn't help but let out an "ah" and asked, "This...... Is it Phoenix? ”
Isn't this just an ordinary golden pheasant? Or does this golden pheasant have a different meaning to the local villagers?
Li Hua'er couldn't help but feel a little worried, although she was not a person here, but she knew very well in her mind that every place had different opportunities, she didn't plan to violate taboos such as "offending the gods of Fengshan", if so, then she still let this pheasant go.
The Li family was going to find her trouble.
However, Yue Fang also said that if she could catch it......
Yue Fang looked at Li Hua'er's dazed and bewildered expression, slapped her forehead incredulously, and said, "You're still stupid, right?" Under this mountain, who doesn't know that this is the Golden Phoenix? That's something that is hard to come by, for example, those of us who rely on the mountains to eat, don't say that we catch them in a year, or we don't see them a few times. When the first emperor was there, this golden rooster was a tribute, it was a real phoenix, and now it was caught by you, do you say it's good? ”
The First Emperor? Tribute?
These two words suddenly aroused the melancholy in Li Hua'er's heart, which made her heart skip a beat.
"In our village, although it is smaller, the young lady has never heard of it, but when the first emperor was in the dynasty, there were also tributes." The crisp voice swirled in her head for a while, and Li Hua'er could clearly understand that this sentence was said by Li Hua'er.
The real Li Hua'er.
Who is the young lady in her mouth? Li Hua'er's hand trembled slightly.
Don't...... Is it me?
But why, she just can't remember what happened before?
Yue Fang didn't know what Li Hua'er was thinking in her heart, just seeing her expression with a solemn expression, she thought that she was angry that she was saying stupid things, so she quickly patted her lips and said, "Oh, look at me, this mouth always can't speak, don't be angry, you're not stupid, I won't do this trap you do." She laughed
Li Hua'er came back to her senses and shook her head, even if she denied Yue Fang's words, she could be regarded as throwing those thoughts out of her heart, and said with a smile: "You are not wrong, you are stupid for such a time, and there are some things that I remember that are not true...... Since it's a phoenix, should I let it go? ”
Yue Fang didn't get angry when she heard her, so she felt that Li Hua'er was also a generous person, she was already familiar with people, and she felt that Li Hua'er was a person to make friends with, so she shook her head and smiled: "It's your blessing to be able to catch the phoenix, and it's Fengshan Niangniang who values you." So it's good for you to take it home and raise it, if you are afraid that you can't raise it well, send it to the county, and there are many rich people who want it for safekeeping. A few years ago, hunters from other villages also caught it, and exchanged it for twenty taels of silver. ”
Li Hua'er looked at the look of envy in Yue Fang's eyes, and knew that these words were not false, and the sadness in her heart that was touched by her words dissipated a lot, and was replaced by a heart full of joy.
According to Yue Fang's words, this golden rooster should be able to buy it at a good price.
Twenty taels of silver is not a lot, but for the current Li family sisters, it is simply life-saving silver.
Thinking about the hunt when she just entered the mountain, Li Huaer couldn't help but be glad that she didn't shoot this "phoenix" just now.
Thinking about it, Li Hua'er thanked Yue Fang: "Yes, it just so happens that the day after tomorrow is the summer solstice, I will take this phoenix to the county seat and find a good customer to sell it." ”
Yue Fang nodded: "Very much." ”
The two little girls who met for the first time today are closer because of today's adventures. Especially when Yue Fang is so good at talking, he came and went, and when Li Huaer was about to go down the mountain, the two of them just didn't twist the soil and burn incense, and they married Jinlan.
While speaking, it was too late, Li Hua'er and Yue Fang both went down the mountain, and after saying goodbye at the foot of Fengshan, Li Hua'er carried the cage containing the phoenix back to the village.
And as soon as she entered the boundary of Qinghe Village, Li Hua'er heard an exclamation: "Ouch, that's amazing!" Isn't this a phoenix? ”
When Li Hua'er heard that, when she followed the sound, she saw a few aunts who had just finished washing their clothes by the Qingshui River and were returning to the village, exclaiming at the cage in her hand.
Li Hua'er looked at the glowing in the eyes of these women, and only then did she really feel the meaning of Yue Fang's words.
It seems that this golden rooster is near Fengshan, which is really a very good thing.
Thinking about it, a shallow smile appeared on the corner of Li Hua'er's mouth, and said, "It's also my luck, I entered the mountain the first day, and I invited back to Phoenix." ”
Those women heard Li Hua'er say so lightly, and they didn't think it would be fake, so they were speechless.
Among them, a woman dressed in red whispered: "I really can't see it, this person is unlucky, and it is really good luck." ”
Li Hua'er raised her eyebrows slightly, not knowing how to answer this.
I don't know how to pick it up, but if I don't pick it up, Li Hua'er still smiled shallowly, said goodbye to the women, and returned home with the cage first.
Only a group of women who still couldn't stop "tsk" and talked a lot about it were left, and "The good big fool of the Li family actually invited back the golden rooster!" Within a quarter of an hour, the news spread to every household in Qinghe Village.
