Chapter 18: Ugly Chick?
Xu Qingyan listened to Li Xiaoxue's words and was also eye-opening, it turns out that there are really such interesting things in this world.
"Sister Xiaoxue, do you think there will be a pheasant nest or wild eggs around here, should we look for it?"
"Well, what Ayan said makes sense, pheasants are infested here, maybe there is a pheasant nest nearby, let's look for it separately, but don't go too far, come back if you don't find it." Li Xiaoxue admonished.
Both of them nodded in response, and after speaking, the three of them went their separate ways, Li Xiaoxue went east, Li Xiaohan went south, Xu Qingyan went west, if the last three people were not found, they would go north to find it together.
Xu Qingyan walked cautiously with a withered branch in her hand, neither wanting to step on snakes and insects, nor disturbing the pheasants in the pheasant nest.
It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes! Although Xu Qingyan was already very careful, she was still knocked down by a vine and fell on her stomach. What's even more coincidental is that there is a pheasant nest not far from the place where she fell, and a pheasant lying on her stomach there flapped her wings and ran away in surprise by Xu Qingyan's movement.
Xu Qingyan secretly sighed that she was unlucky, but looking at the direction in which the pheasant fluttered was exactly the direction where the Li sisters were, she thought that maybe their sisters could catch this pheasant!
"Sister Xiaoxue, Xiaohan, there is a pheasant flying towards you, you pay attention." Xu Qingyan shouted in the southeast direction.
"Hey, got it." The two sisters responded in the distance.
After getting their response, Xu Qingyan walked in the direction where the pheasant flew out, and when she opened the lush grass, she saw a few wild eggs lying quietly in a pheasant nest made of dead grass.
It seems that it was a hen that was scared away just now, looking at the pheasant cubs in front of her, Xu Qingyan couldn't tell if she was happy or what, these eggs can't be anymore, this chick that has hatched can be brought back to raise, but there are still three that haven't hatched, what should I do, or take them all back, let the hens at home try it and see if they can hatch.
Xu Qingyan was afraid that it would be damaged if she took out the wild eggs individually and put them in the back basket, so after thinking about it, she put the chicken nest into the back basket together, and was about to go back, but she saw a pheasant cub walking around her feet. This pheasant cub is slightly different from the pheasant cub that just broke out of the shell, the newborn pheasant cub has no feathers and is smooth, but this pheasant cub has grown some fine fluff, and the appearance is also a little different
Well, it is possible that this is not an ordinary pheasant cub, but some other breed, but if it is another breed, how can it run to this pheasant nest. Although she couldn't figure it out, Xu Qingyan intuitively felt that this pheasant cub was not simple, maybe it was a copy of the ugly duckling.
Forget it, anyway, no matter why this pheasant cub is here, it is also a kind of fate, and she has to take it home to raise it.
Put the pheasant cub that ran by herself into the back basket, Xu Qingyan walked in the direction where the Li sisters were, thinking as she walked, how to talk to their sisters about the harvest distribution, she wanted to exchange the share of the big pheasant for the chicks in her back basket.
After the three gathered, sure enough, the Li sisters caught the pheasant that had just been scared away, which means that the current harvest of the three people, in addition to the mushrooms in their respective baskets, there are two adult pheasants, two chicks, and three eggs that have not broken their shells.
Xu Qingyan said her thoughts, and she proposed that there should be no two big pheasants, just two pheasant cubs and three eggs in the back basket.
When Li Xiaoxue heard this, she thought that she already had two pigs and three chickens at home, and there was no extra food to raise a few chickens, so she nodded and agreed to Xu Qingyan's distribution.
The three of them had a lot of harvest when they went up the mountain this time, and the Li sisters accidentally got two pheasants in addition to the mushrooms in the basket. In addition to the mushrooms in the half-back basket, Xu Qingyan also got a few pheasant cubs, especially the pheasant of unknown breed, which gave her great expectations and imagination!
When she got home, Xu Qingyan hurriedly called Cao's, "Grandma, look, this is the pheasant nest I found on the mountain today, the two pheasants in it have hatched, and there are three eggs that have not broken the shell, what do you say?" ”
Cao Shi took the three wild eggs and looked at them, and said with a smile: "These three wild eggs are about to break their shells, I'll wait to find a hen to hold the nest and see if it can hatch." You're getting more and more capable, and you can still find a pheasant's nest when you go up the mountain. ”
"That's, don't look at whose granddaughter I am, grandma is capable, and being a granddaughter naturally can't be bad." When Xu Qingyan boasted about herself, she didn't forget to bring the Cao family. You must know that everyone likes to listen to good words, Xu Qingyan knew this truth in her previous life, but she was thin-skinned and always couldn't speak, so she suffered a big loss in many things. The helpless character has been developed, and it doesn't become something that you want to change.
Thanks to the blessing of the crossing, she has become younger and relived a lifetime, she decided that from now on, she must refine her ability in this area, not to say it in the future, she will praise everyone in the future, full of lies, at least don't say it when she shouldn't say it, she can't say it clumsily. Anyway, she is young now, and no one laughs at her if she says a few more sensual words.
"Hey! How do these wild eggs look different, Yan girl, did you pick them up from a pheasant nest, or from several different places? After Cao laughed, he found a new problem.
"Well, I'll see!" Xu Qingyan took the wild egg in Cao's hand and looked at it carefully.
"It's a little different, I found it from a pheasant coop, and I'm not afraid to break these wild eggs, so I even brought the coop back with me." Xu Qingyan took a closer look and found that the appearance of the three wild eggs that had not yet hatched was indeed a little different, and she didn't pay much attention to it before, thinking that the wild eggs were all like this.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if it's the same or not, when the hen comes out, we won't know." Cao Shi thought for a while and didn't understand, so he threw it away.
Xu Qingyan had a little guess, these wild eggs may not be the eggs laid by the female pheasant who hugged the nest, but it didn't know where to collect them, and wanted to hold a nest on a whim, otherwise she would have been taken aback and fly, and she didn't even want her own child, and it was definitely not her own.
After thinking about it, Xu Qingyan secretly laughed again, she really admired her own brain, it was so big that it was boundless!. After handing over a few chickens to Cao's, Xu Qingyan started her daily homework again, practicing calligraphy!
As usual, after practicing the ten big characters first, I rested for half an hour before starting to make the talismans.
Not to mention, it is really effective to use the method of practicing calligraphy to refine wrist strength, she practiced a few times, and found that her wrist strength has really increased, although she can't draw a whole rune at once, but it is also much better than before. Even the spiritual power has been strengthened, although there is only a trace of it, but it also makes Xu Qingyan see hope.
