Chapter 602: Domestication
Shen Yichi was stunned for a moment, looking at Zhong Ling, his eyes were full of smiles.
"When did you become an animal trainer?"
"You take care of me, hurry up and clean up, and tell me about your harvest outside today." Zhong Ling was a little arrogant, she believed that she must be able to, but it was just to domesticate an animal, as long as the locusts were caught in the house, it should not be difficult.
"The wild vegetables in the mountains are just ordinary varieties, and there is nothing unusual about them." Shen Yichi was a little disappointed, the reason why he went to dig wild vegetables was to find some special vegetables, dishes that could help Hao Yun's people survive this disaster, but the current reality seems to be that no matter how hard they try, the vegetables are just a few kinds, and many wild vegetables are eaten by this locust just after they sprout, and everyone looks at it It is not a special taste.
Zhong Ling nodded and didn't say anything, but he had been waiting here for Shen Dian to bring back the pheasants in the mountains.
"Why are you sitting here alone?" When Qiao Xi came out to pour water at night, she accidentally saw Li Gang, who was stupid, alone in the yard, looking at the sky in a daze.
"Ah......" Li Gang didn't expect Qiao Xi to come over at this time, and the whole person began to be embarrassed.
"I just miss my eldest brother and second brother a little." Li Gang was a little sad, and his heart was also full of concern.
The locust plague is so serious, I don't know how his eldest brother and second brother are now, Qingxiao Village is a place surrounded by mountains and rivers, it should be fine.
"Now that you're back in Hao Yun, you can go and see your eldest brother and second brother when you have the chance, don't be too sad." Qiao Xi didn't know what was going on today, she also walked to the courtyard, holding her chin and chatting with Li Gang.
"That's true, but I want to go back when I become a general." Li Gang touched his head embarrassedly.
He has a dream of being a general in his heart, and now he has been following the emperor, and he believes that he can do it. Maybe now it is a lack of an opportunity for her, as long as the opportunity comes, then for him, he may soon be able to become the general he has been waiting for.
"It's good to have ambition in your heart. The queen also said that if this person has no ambition, then there is no difference between it and salted fish. Qiao Xi said lightly, also looking at the moon, the moon is a little round tonight.
"What is salted fish? Eat? Li Gang was a little dazed, looking at Qiao Xi, looking at it from his angle, he just saw Qiao Xi's side face, looking at her like this is really beautiful.
The moonlight on the side of her face, there was a layer of bright white, and her skin was already fair, so it looked even more beautiful.
In the dark, Zhang Yang and Li Lanying happened to pass by.
Zhang Yang directly pulled Li Lanying, and the two squatted in the dark.
"Look at the two of them, I feel like this kid is thinking about spring." Zhang Yang looked at Li Gang, with a smile on his face, completely forgetting that he was still pulling Li Lanying now.
Li Lanying didn't pay attention to these either, and looked over: "Hey, I think it's true, I think the emperor is not looking for subordinates for himself, but for the maids around the queen to find husbands." ”
She also lowered her voice and said to Zhang Yang.
After all, in her memory, pothos and Shen Di seem to be together, this Shen Di is also by the emperor's side, but there are two maids around the queen's mother, Shen Di took away a pothos, this Qiaoxi has always been a lonely person.
Unexpectedly, this time the emperor brought another person over, and he has always been by his side, and these two people may be together.
"This kid is so blessed, Qiaoxi is so gentle, he must be a good wife in the future." Zhang Yang was full of emotion, I really didn't expect this Li Gang to start so quickly.
If it weren't for the fact that Qiao Xi was the maid next to the queen, he would have used an impulse to make Qiao Xi his wife, but he was a person who wanted to be a general, first establish a career, and then start a family.
"I think so, and the queen mother is so good, if Qiaoxi really marries this Li Gang, the dowry will not be less." Li Lanying not only likes to fight, but she also likes to make money, as long as it is related to money, she is particularly interested.
However, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, she just likes it, and it is absolutely impossible to do something unreasonable because of money.
"What do you care about the bride price, I just want to know what these two are talking about now." Zhang Yang was speechless, and he secretly moved forward with his waist bent.
I don't know when she let go of Li Lanying's hand, and she didn't feel it, so she followed Zhang Yang behind her and quietly approached the two people.
The two of them eavesdropped on each other, and these two people were chatting here without a match.
If it weren't for the fact that the moonlight was too thick, then Qiaoxi would definitely be able to see Li Gang's face, which had already turned red into a peach blossom.
"咯~咯咯~咯咯~"
Suddenly there was a terrible rooster cry from outside, which scared the people in the yard to death.
Qiao Xi stood up in a bit of a panic, she was a little scared when she heard this voice.
No matter how terrible this voice sounds, this is the same as the ghost cry in the mouth of the older generation.
"Miss Qiaoxi, what's wrong with you? You okay. Li Gang saw that Qiaoxi was scared, so he immediately went over to comfort Qiaoxi.
And Li Lanying now feels that she is getting closer and closer in that voice.
"Ahh Help me! Li Lanying screamed, pulled Zhang Yang hard, and refused to let go.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing, I told you to let go of me, it hurts!" Zhang Yang is now pulling his throat and shouting pain.
Although he usually treats Li Lanying as a brother, he never thought that this woman's hand strength is so big. This is a woman, she was born a big crab, let's clamp people!
"Zhang Yang?"
"Li Lanying?"
"What are you two doing here?"
"What are you two doing here?"
Li Gang and Qiao Xi said in unison, they really didn't expect Zhang Yang and Li Lanying to appear here at the same time, and no matter how they looked, they felt a little ambiguous.
"It's nothing, what was that voice just now, do you know?" Li Lanying's face was pale now, but even so, she still pretended to be okay and opened her mouth.
In fact, she herself was about to be scared to death now, and the scream was so terrifying, very terrible. Before, they felt that the moonlight was white, but now she felt that the moonlight was white, which was a bit scary no matter how you looked at it.
"I don't know." Li Gang shook his head, he felt that the sound was a bit like a pheasant's cry, but now in this situation, he didn't dare to be sure whether it was true or not.
"Isn't it my pheasant here, Shen Dark, come here." When Zhong Ling heard this call, he knew that Shen Di must have come back with a pheasant, and immediately came out of the room excitedly.
She'd been waiting for this voice for a long time, and now it was out.
"Pheasant?"
These people spoke in unison, looking at Shen Dian who didn't know when he entered the courtyard, this person was too terrifying, and he didn't make a sound when he walked.
Shen Di came from the darkness, and in the moonlight he could see that he had a chicken in his hand, and a number of small furry animals in another basket.
They were all very curious, and although they couldn't see clearly in the moonlight, the shape of the chicken could still be seen clearly.
"Is the queen going to add food for herself?" Li Gang hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and looking at the chicken in front of him, he could almost imagine the taste of this chicken.
He is best at cooking, and now he doesn't have so many seasonings, but even if this pheasant doesn't need seasonings, such a simple stew is very delicious.
"No, that's my big plan. You don't have to worry about it, anyway, none of you sleep, why are you all outside here, are you too full for dinner? Zhong Ling looked at the people in front of him with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Shen Di is alone, after all, he went out to find pheasants for himself, but these four people are neatly here.
"No, no, no...... Queen Mother, we just blow the wind and go to rest immediately. Zhang Yang immediately stood up and replied, he couldn't stay at all, this woman was too terrifying.
He must stay away from this Li Lanying in the future, otherwise what if she is excited one day and his neck is broken. The more I want to publicize it, the more I feel that this is possible.
The pace has also accelerated.
The house where Li Lanying lives is next to Zhang Yang, so naturally she is going to go together, she was just frightened, and her mood has not yet returned.
"Zhang Yang, why are you going so fast, wait for me." Li Lanying also raised her footsteps to chase after her, the two of them left one after the other, and Li Gang grabbed his head.
"Queen Mother, you should also rest early, I will go down to rest now." Li Gang retired very politely, and when he finally left, he quietly glanced at Qiaoxi.
There is a feeling of reluctance.
Zhong Ling saw the reactions of these people, but she didn't say anything, after sending these people away. She asked Shen to come over and put the pheasant in a room that she had troubled the village chief to clean up before.
Shen Yichi came over with a lantern to illuminate Zhong Ling, because pheasants can run during the day, so they can only catch them at night.
After settling everything in order, Zhong Lingcai looked at Shen Yichi with a smug expression.
"You have water here, but what are you going to give them to eat?" Everything that can be eaten in this village has been eaten, and these pheasants must not have grown up drinking water.
"Locusts, of course." Zhong Ling's face was taken for granted.
She had already planned that when the chickens could skillfully catch the locusts and cure them, she would release the chickens, and when the time came, the locusts would be effectively controlled.
"You're right, but you keep the pheasants in the area, and there are so many locusts in the vicinity, do you have to catch them one by one with your hands? And if you kill all the locusts and bring them in, you may not be able to achieve the effect you want. Shen Yichi had to uncover this naked fact for Zhong Ling on the side.
