Chapter 43: Catching Cicadas and Bugs
When she got to the back basket, she saw that there were a lot of chickens in the back basket, and Lin Vanilla knew that this should be given to her by Aunt Quan, so she didn't say much, and walked back with the chickens on her back.
Along the way, Lin Xiaoshan looked at Lin Vanilla countless times, but Lin Vanilla didn't speak, and the atmosphere between the sisters and brothers was very low, except for the chirping of the chicks, no other sounds could be heard.
As soon as she got home, Lin Vanilla put down the back basket, which enclosed the chickens under the eaves, firstly, because it could shelter from the wind and rain, and secondly, if anyone dared to beat the idea of these chicks, she could also hear the sound for the first time.
Lin Xiaoshan went to the cellar to feed the rabbits, Lin Vanilla put the back basket away, and hurriedly went to the stove to make a fire to cook.
I was thinking about looking for Uncle Quan before, but she forgot that she and Xiaoshan didn't even eat breakfast, and that kid didn't even shout to herself that she was hungry.
"Xiaoshan, Lin Xiaoshan?" Lin Vanilla called Lin Xiaoshan twice, but he didn't hear the sound, and his heart became more and more strange, so he walked towards the wine cellar with steps.
As soon as he got out of the wine cellar, he heard Lin Xiaoshan complaining to the rabbit with grievances: "Xiaobai, Xiaobai, why do you say that my sister is so angry, and I am not allowed to say a few words, does my sister not love me anymore." ”
"Poof!" Lin Vanilla couldn't hold back for a while, and couldn't help laughing: "Can it understand you?" ”
The small back froze, apparently because of her words.
"Uncle Quan wasn't like this before, he once helped me, you can't hate Sister's benefactor, right." Although he didn't understand what kind of anger this little guy was talking about and what kind of vinegar he was eating, Lin Vanilla still patiently asked him.
"Sister, are you saying that last time you fell into the water, he was the one who rescued you?" Suddenly, the little thing that was still cowering in the corner and refused to move had already come to Lin Vanilla.
Lin Xiangxiang coughed dryly: "It can also be understood in this way." ”
"Well, then I'm hungry." There was a hint of joy in Lin Xiaoshan's voice, and he pulled Lin Vanilla and walked out: "Sister, let's go cook porridge." ”
When Lin Vanilla and Lin Xiaoshan cooked porridge and put the cold wild vegetables on the uneven triangular wooden table, Lin Vanilla had the urge to ask the carpenter to make new furniture for the first time.
In the afternoon, Lin Xiangxiang took a nap with Lin Xiaoshan, and after the sun was cloudy, he took Lin Xiaoshan to go outside to hunt grass, and happened to meet a lot of tender bamboo shoots that had just emerged.
This bamboo shoot is thin and long, and it does not belong to the bitter bamboo shoot, it should belong to a type of early bamboo, but it is true that it is delicious.
It's a pity that there are no seasonings such as pickled peppers at home, otherwise, it would be really delicious to fry this bamboo shoot.
Lin Herb and Lin Xiaoshan circled around the bamboo forest a few times, and finally dug up more than 20 tender bamboo shoots, which originally occupied some area, if they were packed in the back basket, the grass in the back basket would inevitably have no place to put it.
Lin Vanilla thought about it for a while, and finally made up her mind, so she squatted down and peeled the bamboo shoot shell with Lin Xiaoshan.
But don't say it, after the shell of this bamboo shoot is peeled, it saves a lot of area.
Lin Vanilla pressed the grass a few times, just freeing up a lot of space, which put the tender bamboo shoots on it, which could barely fit it.
On the way back, Lin Xiaoshan grabbed a cicada and played with it in his hand, Lin Xiang didn't care about it, he just wanted to go back quickly and fry tender bamboo shoots for Lin Xiaoshan to eat.
Who would have thought, but heard Lin Xiaoshan speak: "Sister, do you still remember, at this time last year, there were a lot of people in our village who caught cicada shells, saying that they could use medicine." ”
"Huh?" Lin Vanilla thought about it carefully, and in her memory, it seemed that there was really such a thing, it was the time when the cicadas were shedding their shells, and a large number of young cicadas had transformed into cicadas, so as long as you were patient to find them, there would be a lot of shells on the trees.
Lin Vanilla subconsciously looked at the tree, and really saw a few dried shells, and in an instant, she suddenly had a very delicious dish on the plate: stir-fried cicadas!
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Lin Vanilla turned around and said to Lin Xiaoshan: "Xiaoshan, do you want to eat meat?" ”
Lin Xiaoshan shuddered, whenever her sister said this, she really wanted to invite him to eat meat, but looking at the cicada in his hand, he really didn't have the courage to eat something full of hair and wings.
Lin Vanilla saw that he was afraid of becoming like this, and couldn't help but laugh: "Don't worry, I won't let you eat this, let's eat something else." In this way, let's go back and eat a little later, and then we'll come out and catch it later. ”
Juvenile cicadas have no wings and prefer to live at heights not far from the ground, during the day, they mostly hide in the ground to rest, and at night, they will slowly climb along the trunk of the tree to rest.
At that time, it was time for her to make a move.
Lin Xiaoshan didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in his sister's gourd, but when he heard that he didn't need to eat this cicada on his hand, he was relieved.
Even, there are some expectations, looking forward to what his sister will do to eat.
All the way back to the house, Lin herbs fried tender bamboo shoots, mixed a purslane, sister and brother sat in the house and picked up rice, at this time, there was a sudden sound at the courtyard door, as if someone was smashing the bamboo door with a stone.
Lin Xiaoshan immediately ran out to look, and Lin Vanilla also followed closely, and really saw a person standing outside the courtyard gate.
Lin Xiaoshan stepped forward angrily to open the door: "If you don't have a long mouth or a long hand, you can't even shout." ”
As soon as the door opened, she saw Lin Xiangyu standing outside proudly, but when she heard Lin Xiaoshan's words, her whole complexion changed again, and she only frowned and snorted: "Little wolf cub, can you speak." ”
Lin Xiaoshan was also not to be outdone, and replied: "Wolf cub, you can't speak." ”
Lin Vanilla wondered, how could the person who didn't dare to fight back change in a blink of an eye?
Obviously, Lin Xiangyu was also frightened, and looked at Lin Xiaoshan in a daze, and finally held back a sentence: "You, what are you talking about!" ”
Lin Xiangxiang didn't bother to talk to Lin Xiangyu anymore, took Lin Xiaoshan's little hand, and said with a smile: "I don't know what kind of wind is blowing today, but I brought my eldest cousin together, which is strange." ”
Lin Xiangyu looked at Lin Vanilla holding back a smile, stretched out her finger and pointed at Lin Vanilla's nose, at this moment, she finally understood, it must have been taught by Lin Vanilla, a little cheap hoof, otherwise, where would Lin Xiaoshan dare to talk to her like this.
Glaring at Lin Xiangxiang angrily, Lin Xiangyu said coldly: "Lin Xiangxiang, with you crying behind, I will marry Yuan Lang the day after tomorrow, you will never have a chance, you are in the Yang family, even an abandoned woman is not as good, in the future, no one will propose marriage to you, after all, who knows if you will be dirty a long time ago." ”
