Chapter 2: Hunting

"The light gathers the heart of the sky, the god walks the mud pill, the intention is to guard the air pockets, and the essence is guarded with the pulse."

Sheng Ling'er sat on the edge of the bed, put her hands on her knees, recited a mantra she knew by heart, and only spit out a breath of turbidity after a while, this is the most joyful thing these days, this body is not worse than the original, you must know that her roots are not good, and there are few people of her age who are more true than her, otherwise the old man would not accept her as a closed disciple.

This body is full of hunger, and it can even cultivate true qi, not to mention anything else, at least, Sheng Ling'er found that her physique has been significantly strengthened, it was difficult to carry things a few days ago, and now it is not a problem to move a stone, not only strength, her eyesight is better than before, she listens carefully, the sound of falling snow at night can be heard clearly in the door, and her acuity has increased several times, she can be sure that if she had such acuity last time, she would never be injured. In time, it may even return to its previous level.

"Sister......" A voice suddenly came from outside the door, not much louder than a cat's meow.

It was Sheng Yun, the sister of the original owner, and after Sheng Ling'er let her in, a dirty bare foot stepped in first, followed by dirty clothes that could not be seen, and then a little girl's face, which was holding a bowl of clear water and looking at her timidly.

"Drink, drink water, ......"

Sheng Ling'er tried her best to keep her eyes calm, and she was not like a ruffian to a child.

After a few days of getting along, the atmosphere between the two was too harmonious, and when Sheng Ling'er saw Sheng Yun, the child was like a mouse seeing a cat, and his hands were trembling.

Sheng Ling'er took the water and touched her head.

In fact, it's no wonder that the little girl is afraid, the original owner is not good to the little girl, but not to the extent of beating and scolding at every turn.

Under the successive blows of the original owner, his temperament is not as good as before.

There are only two acres of land left in the family, which have been abandoned for a long time, and the original owner lives by selling the things in it, but after all, it is not a valuable object, after the quilts, tables and chairs are gone, they are becoming more and more stretched, and the original owner naturally has no good face for this oil bottle.

Although Sheng Yun is only eight years old, he has followed Sheng Ling'er since he was a child, and he has always respected this sister, not only can he not resist in the face of Sheng Ling'er's cold face, but he knows that he has dragged her down, and he has added a little guilt, and he is a little more trembling when he speaks to Sheng Ling'er, for fear that he will make her unhappy.

Sheng Ling'er didn't speak, and the bowl holding the water didn't move for a long time, Sheng Yun thought that he had done something wrong, and his eyes were visibly red.

As soon as Sheng Ling'er came back to her senses, she saw this scene of "pear blossoms with rain", she had a headache, and she was most afraid of dealing with children.

Seeing that Sheng Yun was pouring rain, she said patiently: "What are you crying about? ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't borrow rice noodles ......" Sheng Yun's face was like a cat, and when the tears fell, they turned into muddy water and splashed on his clothes.

Although the original owner's family was poor and couldn't open the pot, the original owner couldn't pull his face and borrowed it from the relatives and neighbors around him, so he let his sister go.

The child was only a few years old, so he asked her to go out and borrow something.

Hey, Sheng Ling'er sighed in her heart: "I don't have to go in the future, do we have anything else in our family?" ”

Sheng Yun hurriedly suppressed his tears: "There are still two nests." ”

"Goo-" A loud voice echoed in the narrow room in the mud room, Sheng Ling'er touched her stomach, she hadn't eaten for most of the day, and now she was hungry.

But in the face of a little girl with yellow face and thin muscles, she really couldn't open her mouth to eat.

Sheng Yun was sensible, ran out of the door and came to Sheng Ling'er's bed with a bowl: "Sister, eat." ”

This nest is completely different from the modern one, it is black and rough, and there is a thick layer of putty on top of the bowl, and Sheng Ling'er's hungry and dizzy brain is much clearer.

Modern steamed buns are soft and fine, and there are all kinds of coarse grains, we must pay attention to nutritional matching, but now it is really coarse grains, Sheng Ling'er calmly put the nest into her mouth, and they have been living on this for the past few days.

As soon as she felt the coarseness of the steamed bun at the entrance, Sheng Ling'er chewed and asked, "Is our pot still there?" ”

"Yes, but it's ......" Sheng Yun stopped talking: "Didn't my sister say that she would sell it for sweet potatoes to eat?" ”

Sheng Ling'er shook her head: "It's not for sale." ”

Sheng Yun was a little surprised: "Not for sale?" ”

"Well, I'll go to the mountains to find food later, so I won't starve to death, look at the dark circles under your eyes, go back to the house and sleep." Sheng Ling'er said casually, in fact, going to the mountains to find things is not a long-term solution after all, you can't rely on the sky to eat in the future, you still have to come up with a safe way.

Sheng Linger began to think carefully about ways to make money.

From the memory of the original owner, there is a general impression of this world, this place is called the Dadu Dynasty, which is not quite like the dynasty that Sheng Linger knows, but one thing is certain, it is similar to China's feudal dynasty, and the way of living and making money should be similar.

It's too late to farm, but there are mountains near Shengjia Village, and with her skills, hunting shouldn't be a problem.

Just do it, while her health is better, Sheng Ling'er decided to try her luck, and she quickly found what she was looking for - a simple bow and arrow made of bamboo. The things left by the original owner's father were all placed in a box, and the bow and arrows were carefully wrapped in cloth and hidden inside, and there was no damage in the slightest.

Sheng Ling'er instructed Sheng Yun and ran towards the mountain, and it didn't take long to arrive at the place.

On the edge of Shengjia Village is Wushan, which is rich in products and animals, and there are many ideas in Shengjia Village to fight Wushan, but these animals are very smart, and only the original father has beaten some rabbits and roe deer.

Although Sheng Ling only had a trace of true qi in his body, he was also deaf and clear-sighted, and he could clearly see the movements of his prey. There was a fat rabbit not far from her, and there was the sound of Suo Suo in the distance, presumably more than one.

She picked up some suitable stones and snapped them on the string, and launched them with a thud.

"Smack!"

Rabbits and pebbles fall!

Sheng Ling'er's eyes showed a hint of joy, and several stones in her hand shot out one after another!

When the sky was dyed crimson, Sheng Ling'er led the prey down the mountain. It was the middle of winter, there was no one on the road, and the sunset stretched Sheng Ling'er's light and shadow for a long time.

"Sister, you're back!" Sheng Yun's eyes were shining, and Sheng Ling'er couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth.

Sheng Yun was dumbfounded, and her sister laughed...... It's so pretty......

Sheng Ling'er put the rabbit next to the firewood, and was just about to cook when she heard a voice outside: "Is Sheng Ling'er in the house?" ”

Sheng Ling'er thought she was looking for trouble, her face sank, and she pushed the door out: "Who?" ”

A woman in her thirties stood outside the door with a half-grown child, and her figure was the most slender Sheng Ling'er had seen since she came here, but her face was a little sad, and there was a circle of black green under her eyes.

"Hey......" The woman sighed when she saw Sheng Ling's appearance, this girl is stubborn, she has sent things to her family before, this girl refuses, and now she has withdrawn from the marriage, I don't know how he and her daughter will live in the future.

Sheng Ling'er blinked in the house, it turned out to be her, this is a friend who is good with the original owner's mother, Yu Meihua, often wants to send something over, the original owner has a strong temperament, and he doesn't want anything, and he has survived by selling the items in the house until now.

This time, I guess I heard that she had withdrawn from the marriage and came here on purpose.

"It's not that my aunt said you, even if your mother is gone, there is still one person in the family who is not, generally for small considerations, you always have a suitable male baby in the village, for this is not worth it."

She took Sheng Ling'er's hand, her eyes were filled with tears, the original owner was indeed angry, and Sheng Linger couldn't explain: "Yes." ”

Her voice was shocking, this girl couldn't change her sex.

“…… Girl, what's wrong with you? Yu Meihua felt that something was wrong, so she instinctively asked.

Sheng Ling'er didn't answer, but said, "Auntie, let's sit down first." ”

Aunt Yu just took a step, and the children behind him followed suit, in fact, he was about fifteen years old, but because of malnutrition and too thin, he only looked two or three years old, his eyes were clear, and he only had a well-behaved face, so he really had no sense of existence.

The two sat down and chatted for a few words, Sheng Ling'er followed the master to the rivers and lakes, and the words were skillful, and the jade plum blossom was deviated in a few words.

After a few words, not only did Yu Meihua believe that she had figured it out through this matter, but she also quietly took out a lot of words from Aunt Yu's mouth, and also had a clearer understanding of the world.

Not to mention anything else, the basic market and currency of most of the prices are clear, a penny can buy an egg, which is almost equal to one yuan of RMB, and the commonly known consistent money is a thousand Wen, which is also equal to one tael of silver.

Sheng Ling'er thought, this count is convenient, and the article is a modern steel hammer.

Sheng Ling'er is skillful in speaking, and often waits for Aunt Yu to answer after asking questions, and she is dry in her mouth, and then Sheng Ling'er is still unfinished: "Aunt Yu walks slowly, anyway, no one from me here, if you have time, you might as well come more, it can be regarded as talking to me." ”

Yu Meihua felt sour when she heard this, this girl, it's not easy, and she said at the moment: "Okay, my aunt will come when she is free, and the sweet potatoes she brought will be put on the ground for you, don't shirk this time." ”

This year's harvest is average, even sweet potatoes are not for everyone to eat, Sheng Ling'er remembered that she was good to the original owner these days, the so-called relatives and neighbors of the original owner are not at the same level compared to Aunt Yu, Sheng Ling'er clenched the sweet potato: "Thanks to my aunt these days." ”

Aunt Yu smiled and said, "It's nothing." ”

After the jade plum blossom left, Sheng Ling'er put the sweet potato on the ground.

There are seven or eight of these sweet potatoes, and they are not small, although Sheng Yun is young, he can cook things, and he is a little greedy at the moment, but he doesn't dare to speak, and his eyes are looking at the ground. Sheng Linger took the initiative to speak: "Go cook two."

The sweet potato was ripe after a while, and the taste was softer and sweeter than what Sheng Ling'er had eaten in modern times, and Sheng Yun was almost buried in the yellow sweet potato core, which showed how long it had been since he had eaten a full meal.

After Sheng Ling'er finished eating, she wiped the corners of her mouth and said softly: "Just say what you want to eat in the future, do you know?" ”

Sheng Yun Black Portuguese. Grape nodded with joy in his eyes.

This girl may be a beauty embryo in the future, Sheng Ling'er thought so, and quickly made a few dishes, although her skills are average, but she can't stand the raw materials, the delicious rabbit meat is full of a large pot, the rough bowl shows the oiliness of the rabbit meat, and the seductive fragrance floats out along the window far away.

The two had their first full meal ever, Sheng Ling'er put down the bowl with satisfaction, now it's okay, she has a little acquaintance with her body, and she will not starve to death when hunting or working in the future.
