【Chapter 19】Save the Snow Fox
In the middle of the night, Yu Wan was awakened by a heat wave, and when she woke up, she found that Xiao Tie Dan had wetted the bed.
Xiao Tie Dan has not wet the bed since he was two years old, but last night after eating dumplings and drinking three bowls of water, he finally succeeded in urinating the bed.
Yu Wan couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly got up to change the bedding, she was about to wake up Jiang, but she found Jiang's heroic sleeping position.
Jiang was lying flat with his left leg lightly arched, and his right ankle resting carelessly on the knee of his left leg.
Yu Wan couldn't help but face black lines, didn't she say that everyone in the city was beautiful? A good lady, for Mao slept out of the posture of a female bandit?!
Yu Wan closed her eyes: "My mother is a girl, my mother is a girl......"
In the end, Yu Wan changed all the beds, and failed to wake up everyone's beautiful Jiang.
……
Before dawn, Yu Wan woke up, and after washing, she first went to the village shared well to carry water, and then went to the field of the uncle's house, planning to cut some sweet potato vine leaves, her hometown called this kind of vine leaves pigweed, and when there were no leftovers, her aunt cut them to feed the pigs.
But halfway through, she remembered that there was no pigweed in winter.
She had to dig up some cabbage and turnips in her own field.
The pig ate too well in Zhao's house, and he actually disliked the cabbage and radish, but fortunately, he was about to sell it.
Yu Wan only plans to sell half of it, and keep the remaining half for a good year with her uncle's family.
The day after tomorrow is the day of the market, she can take advantage of these two days to dig more winter bamboo shoots, and then call the eldest brother and second brother to net some fresh crucian carp, and then take them to the market to sell together.
After Yu Wan heated the breakfast in the pot, she brought tools and dry food to the backyard and went into the mountains.
The bamboos near this side have been dug up by Yu Wan, and in order to dig up more tender and fatter winter bamboo shoots, Yu Wan walked deeper into the forest.
The bamboo in the middle section is either too old to produce bamboo shoots, or too tender to grow high-quality winter bamboo shoots well, Yu Wan walked forward patiently.
This bamboo forest is really big, and Yu Wan has not walked out of her legs so sore.
simply, let her find the bamboo that can be mined.
Yu Wan judged the position of the bamboo whip according to the direction of the bamboo leaves, squatted down, took out the shovel from the back basket and was about to dig, but suddenly, there was an unusual movement from not far away, like ...... There was the sound of some claws scratching.
Yu Wan's first reaction was - there is prey!
The prey of this deep mountain and old forest may be a fierce beast, Yu Wan held the firewood knife for self-defense tightly, and walked vigilantly in the direction of movement step by step, but when she arrived there, where was the fierce beast? There was clearly only a little snow fox trapped in a trap.
The cage is very old, and it is rusty all around, it doesn't look like it is still used by hunters, so naturally there is no bait, and I don't know how this little snow fox stupidly locked himself in.
Its tail was slightly injured and its fur was bald.
Yu Wan looked at it with interest, began to estimate the "worth" of this snow fox, and sold it, not knowing if she could get together the silver in the capital.
When the little snow fox saw someone coming, he was not afraid, but opened a pair of dark eyes, revealing an aggrieved look.
Yu Wan snorted and laughed, opened the trap, and caught the little snow fox out.
It was too late, it was fast, and when Yu Wan was looking for a rope to tie it, it kicked its legs suddenly, twisted its body, and slid out of Yu Wan's palm.
It swooped into the depths of the bamboo forest!
"Want to run? It's not that easy! ”
Yu Wan didn't believe that she couldn't catch up with an injured young fox!
After running for a while, Yu Wan really caught up with it.
"Little thing, you still ......" Yu Wan walked over with the basket, and paused in the middle of the conversation, only to see that the little snow fox suddenly did not move, and along the opposite side of its look, Yu Wan saw a low-lying grass, and in the grass, there were seven or eight pheasants walking.
These pheasants are much fatter than the pheasants she caught in the field!
It is too rare for such a fat pheasant to grow in winter.
"Is this little thing the one who brought me to find a pheasant?" Yu Wan was a little incredible.
As if to confirm Yu Wan's guess, the little snow fox actually jumped out of the grass to catch chickens.
"You're not a chicken yet! What do you catch! ”
It scared the chickens away!
Yu Wan had no choice but to hurry to catch the chicken.
Yu Wan caught a total of five, and each one was fat.
The little snow fox nibbled on a mouthful of chicken feathers, but didn't catch any of them.
After that, the little snow fox ran to a hare nest again, and Yu Wan naturally followed, and caught two fat and strong hares by the way.
This young fox looked at Xiao Bula, but he didn't expect to be so familiar with the deep mountains and old forests, and the harvest of this trip was worth digging hundreds of catties of bamboo shoots for her.
Yu Wan glanced at the little snow fox, and somehow, she was suddenly reluctant to sell it, so it was better to keep it, and it would be good to take it up the mountain to hunt every day......
The thought flashed, and Yu Wan took out her own dry food from the back basket - two large meat buns made by herself.
Although the bun is a little cold, the skin is thin and the meat is abundant, exuding a very strong meat aroma.
The little snow fox sat up straight, staring at the burden in Yu Wan's hand with green eyes.
"Do you want to eat?" Yu Wan asked evilly.
The little snow fox took a step forward.
Yu Wan went to unpack the burden, and just halfway through the unpacking, the little snow fox's head suddenly turned, her little ears moved, and she didn't know what movement she heard, so she picked up Yu Wan's burden and ran away with a swish!
Yu Wan thought that it was going to take herself hunting again, but this time, it ran away.
……
At the other end of the bamboo forest, the water pavilion is quiet.
In an elegant farmhouse courtyard, the middle-aged man put down the burden on his shoulders, and he first went to see the little snow fox in the house.
The little snow fox obediently lay on the soft mat.
The middle-aged man seemed to be satisfied, turned his head to the guard's miscellaneous servant and said, "The young master is almost here, you go and make a fire first, burn the earth dragon, and I'll go see what there is to eat." ”
"Yes!" The two handymen respectfully complied.
The middle-aged man left, and after a while, his expression changed dramatically and walked in: "Why are the chickens we raised gone?" ”
The handymen were confused.
No, I just fed it.
The little snow fox turned his back weakly and hugged his half-bald tail.
"Alright, you sir fire!" The middle-aged man went out again, and after half an hour later, he came back out of breath, "Why are there even rabbits gone?!" ”
The little snow fox silently covered himself with his tail.
