Chapter 23 Eating from the Mountain
Xiao Xia seized the opportunity to hit it with one shot, but the anesthetic did not work immediately, and the pheasant was frightened and instinctively ran to his nest. Unfortunately, he didn't run a few steps before he fell to the ground.
Xiao Xia has practiced very good marksmanship in the last ten years, even if he changes his body, his marksmanship has not fallen. Picking up the pheasant on the ground, Xiao Xia frowned. The pheasants that have just passed the winter are very thin, and I am afraid that they will not be able to get a pound of hair, but they are good meat, and the nutritional value of pheasants is also very high. After searching for a while in the direction where the pheasant fled, he finally found the pheasant's nest, and there were still four wild eggs in the nest, which was a good harvest.
Xiao Xia was worried again at this time, the pheasant must not be able to be carried home so blatantly, the first is that he can't explain where the pheasant came from, and the second is that he went home and stewed his sisters, I'm afraid it would be good to only drink some soup.
To say that in the previous life, Xiao Xia's space could really be found in addition to food, the space was large but it couldn't hold living things, the food in the last days was the most precious, and no one wanted other rotten streets. Xiao Xia took out the pot for picnic cooking from the space, plucked the chicken feathers and stewed the whole chicken. Put the four eggs in the fire, and in a moment they will be fully cooked.
An egg went into my stomach, and it felt as if I hadn't eaten an egg before, and it turned out to be this taste, and the word 'fragrant'. There are three ladies in the remaining three families, one of each of which is just right. Xiao Xia was holding the binoculars to find the prey, while looking to see if he had noticed here, if anyone paid attention, no one would be able to find it in the space.
Before dark, Natsu finally ate her first meal of meat, leaving a pair of chicken wings and a pair of chicken legs, and the rest of the meat and soup went into Natsu's stomach. I can't eat dinner.
When Xiao Xia returned home, the Shen family had already finished dinner and went back to each house to find their own mother. Xiao Chun has been looking at the gate of the courtyard, and Xiao Wang is washing the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen.
"Koharu, where the hell did your sister go? Why don't you let your dad look for it? β
Koharu is sweating, not hot, or anxious. If you say that Xiao Xia went to the mountain, when the time comes, what can you say? Just when she finally decided to tell Xiao Wang, she finally saw Xiao Xia's shadow and limped over.
"Xiaoxia, you can come back, if you don't come back, I won't be able to insist on telling my mother." Xiao Chun stared at the disobedient second sister in front of him with his big sunken eyes.
"Worried you, didn't you say it?" Xiao Xia felt a little guilty when she saw Xiao Chun like this, she really couldn't help the gluttony in her stomach, and her mouth was too anxious.
"If you don't come back, I'll tell my mother." Koharu turned around angrily and walked towards the West House.
Now that it's warm, there's no fire in the house. In the west house, Shen Zhong had already laid down to sleep, and the work in the field every day was too tiring, so he could basically fall asleep when he went back to the house and lay down.
Xiao Xia pulled Xiao Chun and picked up Xiao Qiu, who was playing by herself on the kang, and went back to the back room, which was the house of the three sisters, and gently closed the door.
"What do you think this is?" As he spoke, he took out the chicken legs and wings that he was holding in a handkerchief from his arms. The scent immediately filled the cabin.
The room was dark, and Koharu couldn't see what it was, but when she smelled it, she knew it was the smell of chicken. I immediately forgot that she was still angry with Xiao Xia at this time!
"Second sister, what is this?" Xiaoqiu drooled when she smelled it.
"Sister, I caught a pheasant today, and I roasted it directly, so I came back late." Directly divided one person into one person, a chicken leg and chicken wings.
After all, the two of them are still children, and they used to have enough to eat every day, let alone meat, and they have never eaten vigorously. The two of them gobbled up the chicken legs and chicken wings in their hands. After all, the pheasant is too small to have a few bites of meat, and even if the two children have eaten dinner, they can still eat it all without difficulty, and they can't wait to swallow the bones.
Xiaoqiu kept smelling the fragrance on her hands after eating, and slowly fell asleep.
Koharu touched his stomach but blamed himself a little. "Why didn't we leave some for my father."
Xiao Xia looked at this filial child and was very happy. Although my family is full of buns, everyone is good-hearted, which is better than anything else. "Even if it is given to my parents, they are reluctant to eat it, and maybe they will send it to their grandparents, and we will not be able to explain it at that time."
"Daddy hasn't eaten meat for a long time."
Xiao Xia saw that Xiao Chun was still blaming herself, so she took out the remaining three eggs and stuffed them into her hands. "Look!"
"Eggs?" Koharu looked at the three eggs in his hand, and there were still hot ones.
"Of the four found in the pheasant's nest, I ate one."
Koharu's face was excited, but it slowly turned into nervousness and worry. "You can't go into the mountains after Xiaochun, there are tigers in the mountains, that thing eats people."
"Tiger." Xiao Xia thought of the tiger, but his heart was happy, if he beat a tiger, he would definitely be able to sell a lot of silver.
Xiao Chun looked at Xiao Xia's excited little face, she was anxious and angry, how could she not know that she was afraid and still smirked. "There are not only tigers, but also black blind men, big snakes. It's all cannibalism, and you're not allowed to go in the future. β
"Have the people in our village seen it?"
"They all live in the mountains, and I heard that all those who saw them died."
"Didn't that Orion kill a tiger?"
"That's why the whole village is avoiding them."
"What are you two arguing about in the house?" Xiao Wang had just finished cleaning up the kitchen and finally returned to the West Chamber, and as soon as he entered the house, he heard the voices of the two people in the inner room talking louder and louder, and he was curious to come in and take a look.
As soon as Koharu heard the sound of the door opening, his knee-jerk reaction was to hide the egg in his hand. I felt like I was doing something wrong, and my face was red. I screamed. "Mother."
"Mother, we didn't quarrel, my sister just asked me why I didn't come back for dinner at night?" Xiao Xia is much calmer, and she doesn't even blink an eye when she lies.
Xiao Wang's fox looked at the two suspiciously, as long as the nose was fine, he smelled the fragrance of the house as soon as he smelled it. "What does it smell like?"
"Mother, I was wandering around the village today, and I found four wild eggs in the grass on the side of the road, and I roasted them, which were fragrant." Xiao Xia pretended to be innocent and said excitedly.
When Koharu heard this, she quickly took out the three eggs that she had hidden behind her.
Xiao Wang actually believed that it was the taste of eggs. "Nonsense, why don't you give the eggs to your milk when you find them?"
Xiao Xia listened to Xiao Wang's tone, and his heart was very responsive. The tone is not good, and I am not pretending to be naΓ―ve. "Why do you want to give it to grandma? Shouldn't the money earned by the Shen family's daughters be owned by a house? What I pick up is mine, shouldn't it be mine? Grandma is going to sell me to a fool, why should I be filial to her? β
Xiao Wang's heart was like a knife when he heard the 'fool', looking at his daughter's fierce and resentful eyes, the sentence 'filial piety' just couldn't be spoken.
"It's not right." Xiao Wang was afraid of waking Shen Zhong, so he could only suppress his crying.
Xiao Xia didn't feel anything in her heart, she was really disappointed in Xiao Wang's family. Why does she still let herself be filial to her grandmother.
