Chapter 22: To the Town
Hearing Dazhu's words, Xiuniang saw a glimmer of hope, and nodded again and again, "That's right, maybe I haven't gone far, and I can still find it." ”
The mother and son also ran out of the house after Dazhu, and then they all stopped.
A donkey at the door of the kitchen was standing there leisurely flicking his tail, and when he saw a few Xiuniang, his eyes turned his head very strangely.
Xiuniang, they don't have the time to study the eyes of a certain donkey now, they only care, this donkey is still there, is Er Ya also there?
Suddenly, Erzhu sniffed, "Mother, have you smelled any fragrance?" ”
Xiuniang and the others who came back to their senses also moved their noses, not to mention that it was really fragrant.
Dazhu was curious, "This is chicken soup?" ”
Didn't you finish drinking it last night, how can you still have it today?
The eldest girl looked at the kitchen, "It seems to be coming from the kitchen." ”
Xiuniang nodded, and couldn't wait to move to the kitchen, everyone else was there, if someone was really in the kitchen, then it would only be Erya.
The three of them followed their mother, and the closer they got to it, the stronger the fragrance became, and Erzhu couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
When she saw the small figure standing in the kitchen, Xiuniang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her pale face.
"Erya, why don't you sleep more and come to make breakfast?"
The eldest girl had already hurriedly walked in, pulled Han Chuxue away from the stove, and said worriedly, "Little sister, it's good to wake me up when you're hungry, it's a pity that the kitchen is dirty and your clothes are dirty." ”
Saying that, her eyes straightened, why did the little sister change her clothes?
Dazhu also found out at this time, and hurriedly asked.
Han Chuxue patted the newly transformed cloth clothes and said with a smile, "I think it's more customary to wear this, so I changed it back." ”
Because the boots do not have a transformation function, and she doesn't know how to weave straw shoes, in order to avoid a lot of matching, she didn't make her clothes like a village girl, but a common robe on Yunwu Mountain, although it still looks better than the family, but it's not so eye-catching, even the hair she simply tied a braid, although not a village girl, but also a commoner.
Erzhu is younger, and he is a boy, his heart is relatively coarse, and he didn't think too much, but he felt that his little sister had changed into such a dress, and he was indeed a lot closer, so he stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Little sister, are you cooking chicken soup again, it's so fragrant." ”
Just thinking about how to distract the attention of his family, so that they would not think that he had not brought his luggage back yesterday and wondered how he could have changed his clothes, Han Chuxue hurriedly took over and said, "Yes, third brother, I also boiled some wild eggs, put them in that big bowl, and boiled some sweet potatoes, you can have breakfast after you freshen up." ”
"Wild eggs?" The two pillars took three steps and did two steps to run to the big bowl pointed by Han Chuxue, and there were really five or six eggs that were smaller than ordinary eggs, and they were still hot when they reached out and touched them, obviously they had been cooked.
Erzhu, who didn't know the smell of eggs for a long time, immediately raised his eyebrows, "I'll go wash my face right away." ”
After saying that, he ran to the water tank to wash his face.
Xiuniang walked in, looked at those wild eggs, and looked at the cauldron where things were still boiling, and couldn't help frowning, "Erya, where did you get these things?" ”
There was no chicken left from last night, where did the little girl find so much to eat?
Looking at the little girl's clothes, which were obviously much worse than the one she wore back yesterday, Xiuniang was so anxious that her eyes reddened, "Did you exchange your own clothes for these food?" ”
Dazhu and Da Ya immediately looked over, and even Erzhu, who was washing his face, stopped, "Little sister, you won't really give people your clothes, right?" ”
If so, he would rather not eat the wild eggs and help the little sister change her clothes back.
I didn't expect my family to think like this, and Han Chuxue couldn't cry or laugh.
"No, these are the ones I called back when I went to Yuanbaoshan to exercise and do morning classes."
Seeing that they didn't seem to believe it, she hurriedly said again, "This pheasant is a little unsightly, so I will burn her, there are a few in the shed outside, big brother, after you finish breakfast, we will go together to change some food and come back." ”
Xiuniang and the others were suspicious, and hurriedly walked to the grass shed next to the kitchen to see, and sure enough, there were five pheasants on the ground of the shed.
At this moment, the family finally believed that the food was not exchanged for her clothes, but when they heard that she had gone to the mountains to hunt by herself, they were full of disapproval.
Erzhu glared at Han Chuxue dissatisfied, "Little sister, didn't you say last night that we would go up the mountain together today?" ”
Han Chuxue smiled apologetically, "Third brother, isn't it customary for me to get up early to do my homework, and then I thought that there was no food at home, and if I could change food earlier, we wouldn't have to go hungry." ”
Hearing this, Xiuniang's eyes turned red instantly, it was all because of their uselessness as fathers and mothers, so that the little girl would always think about changing food for the family at a young age.
As the previous person in charge, the eldest girl is very clear about whether there is food in the house, so she can only remain silent about the words of Han Chuxue.
Dazhu didn't object, but he had a lot of opinions about her going up the mountain alone, "Little sister, my brother won't stop you when you go up the mountain to hunt, but you have to go with your brother, and you won't be allowed to enter the mountain alone next time, you know?" ”
Han Chuxue nodded hurriedly and assured that this could be regarded as calming everyone's resentment against her going up the mountain alone.
After breakfast, it was time to leave for the town, and at the repeated request of Han Chuxue, Xiuniang finally allowed her to go with Dazhu.
Sitting on the back of a donkey, Han Chuxue held a sweet potato, tore the skin, took a bite of the sweet potato meat like a boiled egg yolk, and squinted his eyes in enjoyment.
She didn't plan to eat breakfast, after all, there was really not much food in the house, but the eldest girl didn't believe that she had eaten it, so she had to give her her eggs, so she had no choice but to take a sweet potato and say that she liked to eat this.
They may be afraid of eating this sweet potato every day, but for the cold and early snow that was a baby in the city in the previous life and grew up eating spiritual rice in this life, it tastes good, and in modern times, this is a nutritious coarse grain.
"It's sweet, it's delicious."
Carrying a big bamboo basket and walking next to a donkey, the big pillar saw her small appearance, and was also happy.
"You have to love to eat, big brother, there is still this."
Han Chuxue smiled and waved her hand, "It's enough for me to eat this, big brother, you better eat it yourself, if you don't eat enough, you won't have the strength to carry it back when you get food." ”
Thinking that he would be able to exchange for food after a while, and his family would not have to run out of food, Dazhu immediately felt full of energy, pulled the basket cloth belt on his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Little sister, don't worry, even if you change more food, my brother can carry it back." ”
He has five pheasants in this basket, one can be exchanged for one liter of brown rice, five can be exchanged for five liters, and some wild vegetables are enough for the family to eat for two days.
