When it comes to hunting, luck is always the first factor. If you're unlucky, even the most experienced hunter may not see a single prey for a whole day. Lu Yu and the others were not very lucky today, and they didn't even find a rabbit in the morning.

After a short break at noon, they each ate something and drank some water. Yan Xi'an didn't bring anything, so Lu Yu gave her his share of dry food. Yan Xi'an was a little embarrassed, and Lu Yu persuaded him a few words before he was willing to eat. In fact, Lu Yu wanted to say that he didn't need to be embarrassed, even if he didn't eat for ten days and a half, it didn't matter, but he could only think about it, and he didn't dare to say it, for fear of scaring people. Eating is a rare thing for Lu Yu to enjoy, and he will not give up this habit.

In the afternoon, there was still nothing, and a few people were about to go back when it was not far from dark.

Lu Yu and Lao Gao Lu Di were not discouraged, and it was common for them to catch nothing when hunting. After following Lu Yu and them in the woods for a day, in the end nothing hit, Yan Xi'an seemed to be a little disappointed, and Lu Yu felt the need to comfort her a few words.

"Eh, that Xi'an, are you very tired today?" Lu Yu is not very good at comforting people, not to mention that the other party is Yan Xi'an.

Yan Xi'an's face was full of disappointment, but he shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's not tired." Yan Xi'an should be very tired, but she is very strong, and Lu Yu found that he might really underestimate her.

Then Lu Yu didn't know what to say, so he heard Lao Gao say: "Yan girl, hunting is like this, you can't hunt anything for most of the day, but as long as you can hunt a wild boar and wolf for one day in three days, you won't lose anything." "After a day of getting along, Yan Xi'an and the two of them are also familiar, everyone likes the well-behaved, clever and strong Yan Xi'an, and it is not easy for a girl in the city to follow three rough men from the countryside up the mountain and climb the slopes all day.

Yan Xi'an nodded, and suddenly cheered up again and asked Lu Yu: "Uncle Da Yu, will you come again tomorrow morning?" ”

"Come, there's nothing going on in the field these days, I'll come." Lu Yu felt that she would have to follow us tomorrow.

"Then you'll wait for me tomorrow morning." Yan Xi'an didn't give Lu Yu room to negotiate.

"Well, okay then." Lu Yu was a little selfish, he really wanted to be with Yan Xi'an more.

The way back was easier, but they were all tired and didn't want to talk more, Yan Xi'an was a little shaky, and Lu Yu was very distressed. But then he suddenly heard the sound of rabbits, just in front of them on the left.

Many people think that rabbits can't bark, which is wrong, rabbits will make a "cooing" sound when they are happy or unhappy, but the sound is very small and ordinary people can't hear it. Lu Yu said to Lao Gao and the three of them: "There seems to be a nest of rabbits on the left, are you going to fight?" ”

"Rabbits? Where is it? Yanxi became excited, and she said to Lu Yu again: "Can Uncle Da Yu help me catch two rabbits?" I want to keep it and play with it. ”

Lao Gao and the two of them may be very strange, aren't rabbits used for food? But Lu Yu knows that girls like to raise some cute little animals. He once heard of a famous beautiful woman who abandoned her husband and ran to the moon alone. It is said that she often holds a white rabbit. So Lu Yu readily agreed to Yan Xi'an, and then asked the three of them to wait in place.

Lu Yu quietly walked more than twenty steps to the left, and saw a small hole hidden under a clump of grass. He let his mind out and went deep into the cave, and found that there was indeed a nest of rabbits, a mother rabbit and a few baby rabbits.

The rabbits were too fragile, and where they resisted the coercion in Lu Yu's mind, they quickly rushed out of the hole. Lu Yu caught them all very easily, there were a total of five hares, one big and four small, the female rabbit was gray, three of the four little rabbits were also gray, and one was actually snow-white, so they were not a father?

Yan Xi'an was very happy to see the rabbit, she took the four little rabbits from Lu Yu's hand, and when she took the rabbit, her left little thumb touched Lu Yu's right palm, Lu Yu suddenly felt that her face seemed to be red, and her palm was very hot.

Yan Xi'an hugged the four rabbits and said with a smile: "I want to raise these four rabbits, and I will take them back when I go home." ”

Lu Di didn't understand a little, what is there to raise rabbits, he said: "Four rabbits have to eat a lot of things to grow up, don't you eat vegetables?" But now the sky is dry, where are the greens. ”

Yan Xi'an had never raised rabbits, so she asked me worriedly, "Is it?" "If she really wants to eat vegetables, I don't know what she will do.

Lao Gao shook his head and said: "It's best to have greens, and it's okay to eat grass without greens." He said to Lu Di again: "Where do wild rabbits have vegetables to eat, don't they all eat grass?" ”

What Lao Gao said made sense, Yan Xi'an immediately turned his worries into joy, and said, "Then I'll pull the weeds and feed them." She raised her head again and asked Lu Yu, "Uncle Da Yu, do you know what kind of grass rabbits eat?" ”

"I know there's a kind of clover that rabbits like to eat." That kind of grass is everywhere here, and even if there is a drought, it doesn't affect their growth.

"That's good, I'll pull the weeds tomorrow." She said sadly: "I'll be wronged by the rabbits tonight." Lu Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, the corn is fried and the rabbit is also eaten." ”

Yan Xi'an was very happy to hear this, and shook his head again in a blink of an eye and said, "Forget it, corn is eaten by people and cannot be wasted." ”

Lu Yu smiled, and just as he was about to speak, Yan Xi'an looked at me again and said, "Uncle Da Yu, I won't eat tonight, so I'll feed the rabbits with my share." ”

"No, there is food at home." Yan Xi'an's words made Lu Yu feel pain in his heart when he heard it. He smiled deliberately and said, "Rabbits can't eat much, you can just fry corn at night." ”

"Okay, that's it." After all, Yan Xi'an is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, and her mood changes quickly, just like the weather in June and July.

When I got home, it was almost dark, and except for the kitchen, the other rooms were dark and unlit. The three members of the Yan family are all in the kitchen, and they may not have a place to go. In fact, Lu Yu's family has a lamp, and before the Chinese New Year, he made more than two catties of kerosene for lighting the lamp, but he hasn't used it much, and there is a lot left.

Yan Xi'an took the little rabbit to the kitchen to find her father, and Lu Yu took the big rabbit to the house to light the oil lamp and went to the kitchen. The meal was ready, and Mrs. Yan was afraid that the food would be cold, so she still kept it in the pot. The food she cooked was better than Lu Yu's, but Lu Yu felt that what she made was more delicious, he put more salt and spicy, and the taste was heavier. But the taste is not important, the important thing is that someone cooks, which makes Lu Yu find some "home" feeling.

Yan Jibai and his wife were not surprised by their daughter's late return, so Yan Xi'an did not lie, her parents did know that she followed Lu Yu and them up the mountain. During the meal, Yan Jibai said to Lu Yu: "Brother Yu, my girl has caused you trouble again." Lu Yu said that it was okay, not troublesome, and praised Yan Xi'an a few more words, saying that she was very strong and sensible, and Yan Xi'an was very happy to hear it.

Before going to bed, Lu Yu found a few old clothes that no one wore and gave them to Yan Xi'an, asking her to wear old clothes and go up the mountain tomorrow. Lu Yu didn't look carefully, I don't know if the clothes on her body were torn today, anyway, it should be better to wear old clothes.

The next morning, it was Yan Xi'an who knocked on the door to wake Lu Yu up, probably because she recovered quickly from her youth, and she didn't look tired at all. Yan Xi'an was wearing the old clothes that Lu Yu wore when he was a teenager, and the size was just right. This dress was sewn by Lu Yu from coarse cloth, which was not good-looking but very durable.

Actually, it's not right, the clothes really don't look good on Lu Yu, but Yan Xi'an looks good in it, really, good-looking people look good in everything, and now she gives Lu Yu the feeling that it is like a lily of the valley blooming proudly on a stone without a drop of soil, and there is a very moving difference in beauty.

Taking the kitchen knife and dry food, Lu Yu and Yan Xi'an went to Lao Gao's house together, and when Lu Yu suddenly thought of a question on the way, he asked Yan Xi'an: "Yesterday I took the kitchen knife up the mountain, what did your mother use to cut vegetables?" ”

Yan Xi'an was stunned by Lu Yu's question, then laughed and said that he would go back and ask in the evening. She asked Lu Yu again: "Uncle, Uncle Gao and Uncle Di both carry bows and arrows hunting knives, why do you take a kitchen knife?" ”

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment and decided to tell her the truth: "This is a magical kitchen knife, very magical. ”

Yan Xi'an seemed to think I was joking, she smiled and said, "Where is magical, you can show me." Lu Yu handed her the kitchen knife, and she looked at it for a while and said, "It's quite heavy." Then she gave him back the knife. A magical kitchen knife, but only Lu Yu himself knows his magic.

Today, Lu Yu and they walked in a different direction, the mountain road was more difficult to walk than yesterday's, and the woods were denser, although Yan Xi'an did not complain, but Lu Yu could see that she was very tired. Lu Yu naturally felt very sorry for her, so he proposed to take a break after a while. Old Gao Ludi knew the reason, and he didn't have an opinion.

Lu Yu hoped that they would not be cranky......

During the break, Lu Di asked Lu Yu: "Da Yu, you said that we will exchange pork for food, will anyone be willing to exchange it?" ”

"There must be, no matter how worthless pork is, it is more expensive than grain, but a pound of pork will definitely not be exchanged for five, six, seven or eight catties of grain as before." Lu Yu asked Lu Di again: "Is your family short of food?" It shouldn't be. "Lu Di's parents are only in their fifties, and they can support themselves, but he is married but has no children, so there is no reason why he will be short of food.

Lu Di shook his head and said that there was no shortage, and suddenly grinned again, and said: "My daughter-in-law seems to have it, so I want to change some white flour rice, and it is not good to eat coarse grains all the time." ”

"That's a good thing, when did my sister-in-law have it?"

Lu Di said with a smile: "When I went back yesterday, she told me that during the day, my mother asked Dr. Li from the next village to check her pulse, and she was pregnant." "That's weird Lu Di has been quite happy today.

"What's wrong with eating coarse grains, when my daughter-in-law was pregnant with my son, she didn't have corn tortillas every day, you see my family's small wealth, how good it grows." Lao Gao was actually quite happy for Lu Di, and he was deliberately joking.

Lu Di didn't reply and said, "One pound of meat for two pounds of white flour or rice, it's always okay." ”
