Chapter 18: Seeing Hope
There are so many fish! The villagers carried the basket full of fish back to the village chief's house with a flat pole and collapsed in the courtyard. Yun Yao was afraid that Erniu would run around, so she assigned him to go back to watch the fish, and Erniu immediately happily agreed and ran away with a few children.
"Let's go, let's go farther, and fish again in another place!" Yun Yao saw that the fish were gradually decreasing, and the sun was still good, so she simply took everyone to find another place.
Seeing the villagers walking away, changing places and chiseling open the ice, Xiao Chuhan frowned. These villagers don't look like random places, so what is there to do about where to break the ice?
The villagers were fishing for fish in the river, and he and the two of them followed from a distance, and saw that they had broken three large holes, fished out dozens of baskets of fish, and lowered the wire net into the ice cave before going back.
The sun gradually lost its heat, and the villagers had caught enough fish and put down a big net, and they all happily packed up their things and walked to the village, discussing today's harvest as they went. Seeing the villagers walking away, Ling Bo urged: "Lord Wang, let's go back." ”
Xiao Chuhan was frowning and thinking, listening to him urging him to come back to his senses: "Go get the horse first, I still have some things to confirm." ”
The two followed the villagers from a distance, and saw that they had all gathered in a large courtyard, thinking that it was the village chief's house where the little cloud girl lived. Xiao Chuhan didn't follow, and only took Ling Bo back to Uncle Bolt's house.
Uncle Bolt was taking his little grandson to look at the two big horses from a distance, and when he saw them coming back, he hurriedly greeted them, "The guest is going back?" The horse is fine, but the old man doesn't have forage at home to help you feed it. ”
"Thank you. Can you ask for another bowl of hot water, I want to eat some dry food before leaving. Xiao Chuhan excused himself to drink water, stayed at his house and waited to inquire about the news, and sure enough, not long after, he saw a woman walking back with two fish, and shouted happily as soon as she entered the door: "Dad, mother, I caught a fish, and my daughter-in-law will come to cook it for you immediately." ”
"Yo, what a big fish!" The two fish had been disemboweled, and Uncle Tie's family gathered around to take a look, and Xiao Chuhan also took the opportunity to walk over.
"Sister-in-law, I just saw you catch a lot of fish, why did you only divide these two?"
"Guest, you don't know, Miss Xiaoyun said that this fish intestine and fish scales can be used to fertilize the ground, and said that tomorrow we will be taught to make dried fish and grilled fish, and the village chief will give each person two first. Tomorrow I will set up the wire net and go to his house to kill and divide the fish together, and then there will be more. Li Qiang's family was happy to take the fish, and when he came back, Rory was so long, he couldn't wait until tomorrow.
"Mother, I've learned to make fish soup, I'll make it for you now."
"Okay, there you go." Uncle Bolt was also very happy to see the two big fish, and enthusiastically left the two distinguished guests to drink fish soup. Xiao Chuhan had something in his heart, and asked a few more words, but seeing that they couldn't say why, he had to get up and leave.
"Lord Wang, it's getting late, let's go back." Seeing that Xiao Chuhan was just leading the horse and strolling, Ling Bo was anxious and urged again.
"Okay, go back first, I'll come out alone after dark, and you can help me deal with Yan Ji and the witch house."
"Lord Wang, what attracts you to this small village? I want to know what subordinates will help you ask, why do you go out alone in the middle of the night to adventure? Ling Bo dissuaded.
"You don't understand." Xiao Chuhan smiled and turned over his horse, "Let's go." ”
Although I was tired today, I gained a lot. Yun Yao Da Niu brought people back a few hundred catties of big fish, and Li Xin also returned home with two carts of grain, at this time the village chief's house was like a bumper harvest, and the villagers all gathered together to divide the grain and fish, thinking that they would not be hungry again before the weather was warm, and everyone had a smile on their faces.
"Come, this is your family." The village chief took out more than seven catties of grain from each person's grain bag and poured it back into his rice jar, and distributed the grain to the villagers.
"Thank you, village chief, thank you, Miss Xiaoyun." Every villager who received the grain and fish sincerely thanked them, making Yun Yao feel that the fatigue of the day was completely gone.
"Let's go back, come back tomorrow after breakfast, I'll teach you how to make dried fish, and we'll divide all these fish." Yun Yao waved at the villagers one by one, and sent them out of the courtyard before entering the hall.
"Tired, aren't you? You rest, these fish are put in the kitchen first, it is cold at night, and it will not spoil for a day. Seeing her beating her waist, Da Niu was a little distressed but embarrassed to say anything, so he only went to the kitchen to help her pour a bowl of hot water.
"It's okay, not tired! It's also the first time I've caught so many fish! Yun Yao was excited. It would be nice if it was a vintage trip, it was a special experience. Seeing the smiles on the faces of the villagers and listening to their sincere thanks, Yun Yao's heart was full of pride.
For dinner, Yun Yao's own grilled fish, accompanied by tortillas and bone broth, was so comfortable!
After eating, I made a hot compress for Aunt Osmanthus and helped her dredge her mammary glands and massage, but she felt that her breasts were full and swollen.
"It's swollen, it's really swollen! Xiaoyun, you're amazing! Now the little girl can eat enough milk, and she will no longer cry hungry in the middle of the night. Aunt Osmanthus was so happy that her tears flowed, "When Niuniu grows up, let her call you sister and ask her to thank you well!" ”
"Hello sister, I like the good little girl the most." Yun Yao gently teased the little girl with her fingers, and when she blew out a small milk bubble, she yawned delicately and smiled happily.
"Sister sister, Erniu also wants to thank sister, sister also likes Erniu, okay?" The second cow was soft and cute, and he drilled into Yun Yao's arms.
"Okay, my sister also likes Erniu." Yun Yao smiled and took him into her arms and touched his little face.
"Mother, I sleep with my sister at night, and you tell my brother not to go with me." Erniu's old words were brought up again, and Aunt Osmanthus and Yun Yao both laughed badly.
"Don't talk nonsense." Aunt Osmanthus laughed and stopped her youngest son.
"Okay, you sleep with your sister, let's wash our feet and go sit on the kang, and my sister will tell you a story." Yun Yao also covered her mouth and smiled, helped Erniu wash up with Aunt Guihua, and took him back to her room.
Da Niu lay alone on the kang, listening to their movements, with a warm smile on his face. He touched his injured shoulder, which was already scarred, and the smile on his face deepened.
Xiaoyun is such a good girl, if only she could stay at home all the time. This family has so many laughs after having her. My father is no longer frowning, my mother is no longer sad, Erniu's illness is cured, and I am ......
Erniu pestered Yun Yao to tell stories, and Yun Yao couldn't think of any fairy tales when she searched her intestines and scraped her stomach, so she had to tell her the Journey to the West, which is familiar to modern people, and listened to this little guy so excited that she couldn't sleep.
"Sister, sister, what happened later, did Sun Wukong eat the fairy peach?"
"Okay, let's sleep, my sister is sleepy, I want to sleep. Children who don't sleep will not grow taller. Yun Yao scared him, Erniu really closed his eyes when he thought about it, and soon fell asleep, but he also let out a few chuckles from time to time in his sleep.
"Hey, what a kid." Yun Yao pulled the quilt for him, touched the hot kang under him, and decided to sleep here tonight. Well, let's go back and take a shower first.
Yun Yao was about to go back to the modern era, but suddenly heard a slight sound from the door latch, and the door was pushed open.
