Chapter 2 A full meal
86_86881 This surprise made her consume too much body, and her malnourished body made her dizzy for a while, and after resting enough, she got up and removed the branches on the snake's body, took the bamboo clip she made herself, wrapped the snake around it, and walked down the mountain.
Halfway up the mountain, she found the wild vegetables she had picked earlier, and she was ready to take the snake back to take care of it. After walking a few steps, he stopped and thought about it, then turned around and walked towards the stream where he had washed vegetables during the picnic a few days ago.
In her previous life, she had heard that snakes would smell and find companions, and she was afraid that after bringing the snake back, it would be too scary if the relatives and friends of the dead snake found the house, so she better not take this risk.
When he came to the stream, he picked up a thin piece of angular stone, cut off the snake's head, and began to peel it again. The stone was not sharp, and it took some time to peel it, and after the snake was finally processed, the forest fish quickly washed the skinned snake meat in water.
After washing, she took the snake meat in her hand and dripped, but her eyes saw that there were fish swimming in the stone crevice not far away, and Lin Yu was happy in her heart, she didn't know that there were fish here. It stands to reason that it is normal to have fish here, after all, it is sparsely populated and there is no pesticide and fertilizer pollution, there will definitely be no shortage of fish, the forest fish has forgotten this stubble for too long in modern life, and the picnic Ling'er a few days ago felt sorry for her, and only let her be responsible for picking wild vegetables and lighting a fire, so she has never been to this stream and has never seen this fish.
Fortunately, it's not too late to know now, but there is no way to catch fish today, she has no fishing tools, and the bamboo basket she weaves can barely lift wild vegetables.
In the future, there is no need to risk catching snakes, Lin Yu is very happy, think about catching snakes today is more dependent on luck, but good luck will not come again and again, if the next time is unlucky to be bitten by a poisonous snake, it is too unworthy, even if you live or die, but if the two sisters and brothers in the family lose her support but do not know how to live, think about it and feel pitiful, so just for the two little brothers and sisters in the family, she should protect herself.
Feeling that there was food to live on, Lin Yu's mood instantly became lighter, and he quickly found a nearby soil pit for the snake's head and internal organs, and hurried home with snake skin, snake meat, snake gall and wild vegetables.
Her home is not far from the foot of the mountain, when Xiao brought their three sisters and brothers over, they were already poor and white, and their belongings were only enough to buy this dilapidated house farthest from the village, Lin Yu's memory, at first the chief thought that they were a big family who stole out, and was afraid of causing trouble to the villagers, so although the house was broken, he was unwilling to sell it to them, but in the end, he couldn't stand Xiao's tearful pleading, so they let them live here.
Although the house is still within the boundaries of the village, it is nearly half a mile away from the nearest house, and only a hundred meters away from the foot of the mountain. After moving here, they had little contact with the people in the village, and because there was no farm work in winter, few people came here, so it became an independent world for only the three of them.
There is no wall around the house, there are two broken adobe houses standing alone, Lin Yu walked all the way down the mountain to carry the bamboo basket downhill, there are still ten meters away from home, Ling'er and Qi'er, who are squatting at the foot of the stove wall to play, have rushed over one after another.
"Big Sister ......"
"Big Sister ......"
Two immature voices rang out at the same time, and the small figure rushed to her side.
"I'll mention it, eldest sister." The slightly older Ling'er obediently wanted to take the bamboo basket in Lin Yu's hand.
"I'm going to mention it too." Qi'er's small body also leaned forward.
"Let's do it with me, it's a bit heavy today." Lin Yu looked at the two sisters and brothers with a smile, there was an extra snake that weighed several pounds today, and she had a hard time carrying it, not to mention the two little hairy heads.
"Why? The eldest sister hit the snake? Ling'er asked, seeing Lin Yu nodding with a smile, she couldn't help cheering, and Xiao Qi'er also kept jumping on the side, "Oh, there's meat to eat, there's meat to eat......"
Still couldn't twist the two little guys, so Lin Yu let the two small ones carry one side of the bamboo basket, and the other side was lifted by himself, and the three of them staggered home.
There are two adobe rooms in the house, one is a bedroom and the other is a stove room. There is only a simple stove, a half-large water tank for water, and two wooden basins, and the place under the stove is full of firewood that the forest fish bring back when they pick wild vegetables.
Because snake gall bladder and snake skin are Chinese medicinal materials with high medicinal value, after drying, you can find an opportunity to get to the town's pharmacy to exchange some money, so the forest fish will pick up the snake gall snake skin in the bamboo basket and put it aside, and then take out the snake meat in the bamboo basket, find a cutting board to divide the snake meat into two halves, half cut into small pieces, and store the other half to wait for the next meal to eat. Put enough water in the pot, put the snake meat cut into small pieces, and the sensible Ling'er obediently ran to the stove and lit a fire.
Seeing that there was nothing more to do, she told Ling'er to take care of her younger brother and let her wait for the broth to boil before putting the wild vegetables in, and Lin Yu took the only kitchen knife in the family and went into the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain.
The bamboo forest is wild, the bamboo in the forest grows unevenly in size, she picked two slightly thick ones and cut them down, and then cut off the bamboo branches on them, and then piled the bamboo branches together after the whole bamboo is clean, which is also a good material for making a fire after drying.
After doing this qiē, she checked the bamboo shoots she found last time, this season is also a good time to produce bamboo shoots, but it has not rained yet, so the growth is slow, although it has grown a few feet now, but it is still too small, and it is not cost-effective to pick too little back now, so she only pulled back the clean bamboo stalks.
As soon as I walked to the courtyard, a smell of meat that I hadn't smelled for a long time came from the stove room. The sound of the bamboo pole grinding on the ground made Qi'er, who heard the sound, run out, and he staggered and hugged the thigh of the forest fish and cried: "The eldest sister and the second sister don't let me eat meat Qi'er is hungry"
"I didn't! You grabbed me with your hand and didn't agree! Ling'er who came out with a spatula retorted angrily. Knowing that Ling'er is actually very sensible, it is impossible to bully her younger brother who is younger than herself, seeing that she looks afraid of being wronged, Lin Yu laughed in her heart, and sure enough, no matter how sensible she is, she is still a little child, and she can't hold her breath. She motioned to Ling'er with her eyes not to worry about her brother, then put down the bamboo pole, squatted down and comforted Qi'er: "You have been playing for so long, but there are a lot of dirty poop on your hands, how can you grab something to eat?" The second sister is afraid that you will eat the poop until there are small insects in the stomach, so we will wash it and eat it for the second sister, okay? ”
"Well, I don't want to grow small worms, big sister, you wash your hands for me." When Qi'er heard that there were going to be worms, she was frightened and hurriedly handed her hand.
"Okay, let's go wash our little hands and don't let our Qi'er grow worms." Lead Qi'er under the eaves of the kitchen.
Ling'er turned around and went back to the kitchen, and then saw her come out with a wooden basin with water.
"Oops, it's so heavy, who let you carry it!"
Lin Yu hurriedly took it for her and scolded her with pity.
"Hehe, sister, I want to eat early, too." Ling'er had forgotten what had just happened, stuck out her tongue, and said with a smile.
"How long can you wait? The basin is so heavy, what should I do if I hit my foot? Lin Yu shook his head helplessly, the wooden basin of this era is too real, and even he is very heavy to hold, not to mention the smaller Ling'er.
"Got it, sister, then I'll set the meal." Afraid that the forest fish would start to break his thoughts, Ling'er turned around and went into the stove room.
Waiting for the forest fish to wash his hands and Qi'er's hands, Ling'er in the stove room has already put the wild vegetable snake soup in a pot, although only half of the snake is cooked, but there is a whole pot with wild vegetables, although there is no condiment, but the three sisters and brothers who have not eaten meat for a long time feel very delicious, the first time without you to push me, they all eat with an open stomach.
The three of them are all small people, and their appetites are small, and their stomachs can no longer stuff things, and the snake meat in the pot is only two-thirds less.
I took the rest of the snake soup and covered it, and washed the dishes and chopsticks of the three people, I originally wanted to weave out the fish stalks, but I consumed too much body in the morning, and Lin Yu was afraid that his body would be exhausted again, so he beckoned the two little guys to go back to the room for a nap together.
In the bedroom, there is only a simple bed made of wooden frame and a half-person high broken cabinet with a missing corner, the three of them are not very old, and Qi'er is now a little milk baby, so the three of them sleep together on weekdays.
When Lin Xiao was taken away, the quilt, bed and clothes were left, although the good fabrics were all used, but the rest was a little old, and it could still keep out the cold for the time being.
The only thing that Lin Yu couldn't bear was the quilt and the mattress on the bed, these two things were not kept warm because they had been used for too long, and they were their bodies, and there was a smell of Qi'er's urine. Fortunately, the day has gradually warmed up, and the three of them can warm each other by sleeping together. But in the memory of the original owner, the winter is not so good, the winter here is cold and damp, although it will not snow, but the cold wind can come in from any place, the leaky wall hole and the roof that can't cover the sky, Qi'er used to wet the bed, often the quilt and mattress are turned over and over to change the cover, the front is not dry and the back is wet with urine, the three of them huddle together and are often frozen awake, so they have to wear their clothes tightly day and night, and they haven't changed for a winter. After the forest fish came through, although she couldn't stand the smell of urine, she really couldn't do it, one was that her physique was too weak to wash these large items, but now although it is warmer, it is still difficult to see the sun, even if she washes all of these, she doesn't know when she can do it, so she can only take the quilt and mattress outside to dry and breathe. The original owner is a real child, and he doesn't know how to take care of Qi'er at night, and Lin Yu is the soul of a child's body and adult, so he naturally knows how to let Qi'er learn to get up and relieve his stool, so fortunately he no longer wets the bed now. The days are very hard, but Lin Yu now has hope in his heart, but he no longer feels too unbearable, this difficult day has passed, what could be more difficult than this young age and can't find food? .
