Chapter 31: The Greeting Ceremony
"Mother!" Xiao Douding ran over from the corner of the wall with a scream, a pair of big black and translucent eyes stared at the gray crane's head that had moved for a long time, tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes, and he sobbed and asked, "Why did you kill the meeting gift that Uncle Wang gave you?" ”
What? Gift? Bai Qianning's mind was a little blank, why don't you just kill a chicken, how can you look at her like a dead mother? Phew! can't say that, now I'm the mother of this baby! It's just that the child's reaction is indeed a little excessive, she said that this is a gift from Wang Gongzi to herself?
"Wait a minute! What did you just say? Gift? "Didn't you make her dinner? Bai Qianning leaned over and asked.
"That's right! This is what Uncle Wang hunted for you. Xiao Douding choked and stood in place, his little eyes were red, with deep doubts about his unreliable mother!
"It's not! What's bad to send, send a chicken? The corners of Bai Qianning's lips twitched, and he straightened up to look at Zhan Qianche, whose face was darker than Xiaodouding, and asked, "Do you plan to let me keep a chicken as a pet?" ”
"Who told you it was a pheasant?" Zhan Qianche held his breath and looked at Bai Qianning, thinking that he had just picked this gray crane on the mountain for a long time before he caught this gray crane, and he only felt that his efforts had been in vain. Then he secretly scolded himself: This woman looks clever, why is her eyes blind at such a young age!
Listening to Zhan Qianche's question, and looking at the big and small disdainful expressions in front of him, Bai Qianning turned his head to look at the innocent and tragic life on the board, and his eyes fell on its slender legs, and then he was surprised: "Gray crane? Is this a gray crane? ”
Now the corners of Bai Qianning's mouth twitched even more, eh, a national second-class protected animal! He was beheaded by him for public display! Fortunately, this is in ancient times, and it is estimated that this thing is not endangered, if it is changed to modern times, I must not be caught in the bureau for labor reform, and the focus is on being a man?
Bai Qianning almost cried stupidly by herself, she was also a graduate of the Agricultural College, and she could kill the gray crane as a pheasant by mistake, if this reached the ears of the old scholars in those colleges, she would have to be angry with them.
With all the consequences that this matter could cause in modern times, Bai Qianning felt a cold sweat when he thought about it, and in a trance, he held the body of the gray crane with one hand, and picked up the severed head with the other hand, eager for Hua Tuo to come back to life and take them back.
"Mother, you ...... What are you doing? ”
Xiao Douding looked at his mother's face like dead ashes and blood on his hands, shrunk his neck, and his eyes were a little more frightened.
Being called by her like this, Bai Qianning came to his senses, stopped what he was doing, and said embarrassedly: "I didn't recognize it, I thought it was a pheasant, and I was going to kill and chop a stuffed dumpling, that ...... I'm going to dig a hole in the yard and bury it. After saying that, he lifted the corpse of the gray crane and made a gesture to go out.
"Stop!" Zhan Qianche picked up the little fox on the ground, sat on a stool and reminded, "Have you forgotten what is going on outside?" If you want to be arrested and returned to the Zhao family, you just have to go out. ”
After being reminded by him, Bai Qianning turned back without saying a word, and said tentatively: "Then bother the prince to bury it?" ”
"No need, I haven't eaten this thing yet, since you have thought about chopping it with filling, then chop it!"
Zhan Qianche knew that Bai Qianning was worried that the gray crane was a national protected animal, and thought that she planned to bury it because she felt guilty for killing the pet she gave her, so she eased the look on her face and said: "Actually, if it weren't for this kid crying and shouting to catch a pet for you, I would have planned to hunt a pheasant and come back to accompany the meal." ”
"Oh"
Bai Qianning could hear that he was comforting himself, so he also accepted this love, but she didn't dare to eat this gray crane, even if there was no protection of animals in this overhead world, she couldn't get over this hurdle in her heart, it seemed that she had to find a way to steal the beams and change the pillars.
In the space, chickens, ducks, cows and sheep were running all over the mountain, and Bai Qianning was thinking about taking advantage of Zhan Qianche and Xiaodouding's inattention to catch one and replace it, and then sneak out in the middle of the night, find a hidden place to dig a pit and bury the gray crane.
With a plan in mind, Bai Qianning used a basin to put the gray crane on the wooden shelf next to the stove, scooped out two spoonfuls of flour from the rice bowl, prepared to roll the dumpling skin, and in order to increase the strength, he also specially beat two eggs into it.
"That, Wang Gongzi, do you have a rolling pin at home?" Bai Qianning asked knowingly.
"No, you wait a while, I'll go out and cut one." Zhan Qianche said and stood up, took off the dagger hanging on the wall and went out.
This is naturally in line with Bai Qianning's intentions, to sharpen the rolling pin, you have to find a suitable wooden stick, and it takes half an hour to go back and forth, which is enough for Bai Qianning to change the gray crane. It's just that Xiaodouding is still in the house right now, so naturally she can't see it.
With an idea, Bai Qianning asked Xiao Douding while holding flour: "Your little fox doesn't have a name yet, right?" Since this fox has been given to you by Uncle Wang, you should take it and go to Uncle Wang to get one for him. ”
"Hmm!" Xiao Douding knew that his mother was going to break her up, and thought it was a good idea, so he ran out with the little fox in his arms.
