Chapter 8: Pheasants
But she can still eat it, Qiao Mo'er is still content, shakes off the loss, and bends down to pinch the young leaves of Artemisia.
The people here don't seem to know that Artemisia can't be eaten, and there are many of them in this mountain forest, but no one comes to dig them.
Qiao Mo'er pinched happily, and after a while, she pinched a small half basket, and looked almost there, so she took the sickle and looked around. But after a long time, nothing else was found except purslane and dandelions.
Everything that can be eaten has been eaten by the villagers.
"This is spring!" Qiao Mo'er sighed, and worried about the future, how should she make money?
"Mo'er, Mo'er?"
Just as he was sighing, Qiao Xu's worried call came, and Qiao Mo'er hurriedly responded and rushed to meet Qiao Xu. Seeing Qiao Mo'er's figure, Qiao Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw the things in Qiao Mo'er's back basket, he couldn't help frowning again, "Mo'er, these wild grass pigs don't eat them." ”
There was only a little piglet in their family, and when it was still spring, the Han family spent all their belongings to buy.
"Brother, this is not for pigs, it's for people." Listening to Qiao Xu's words, Qiao Mo'er couldn't help but have black lines on her head, the nutritional value of white artemisia is very high, people here don't know, it's just a pity, it's a bit late in the season, otherwise it can still be used for medicine.
"That can't be eaten, look what my brother has found." said in his mouth, but Qiao Xu didn't let Qiao Mo'er pour the white artemisia, and poured all the things wrapped in clothes in his arms into the back basket as if offering treasures.
"Ah, it's a bamboo shoot." Qiao Mo'er's eyes lit up.
"When I went to the bamboo forest over there with Huzi to see the trap just now, my brother broke it." Seeing his sister's happy appearance, Qiao Xu's mood also became cheerful.
Looking at Qiao Xu's expression of asking for praise written on his face, Qiao Mo'er squinted happily and asked, "Brother, is there any bamboo shoot left?" "Why did she forget that spring is a good time to eat bamboo shoots.
"Two pheasants fell from a trap today, so I'll give you one." At this time, Huzi walked over with two pheasants with blood stains and colored feathers and handed one to Qiao Mo'er.
Saliva fermented in her throat, and Qiao Mo'er's eyes shone amazingly, this is meat! Since she came to this world, she hasn't even been oily, and every day is the tasteless dish.
But even if she was greedy, Qiao Mo'er couldn't help refusing.
"Brother Xiaohu, you caught it, I can't ask for it."
"Yes, Xiaohu, we can't ask for it."
Seeing his sister's refusal, Qiao Xu breathed a sigh of relief. My sister wants to eat, and when he also learns from Xiaohu to set a trap and catch his sister to eat, they must not want what Xiaohu gave for nothing.
Looking at Qiao Mo'er, who obviously wanted it very much but still refused, Xiaohu smiled innocently, stuffed the dead pheasant into Qiao Mo'er's back basket, and said, "Xuzi helped me just now, this is for Xuzi." ”
Qiao's four-room life is not easy, and everyone in the village knows it.
Xiaohu always heard from his mother that the Qiao family's four rooms were so pitiful and pitiful, and when she saw Qiao Mo'er today, she couldn't help but feel soft.
Seeing that the pheasants had already arrived in the back basket, Qiao Mo'er swallowed her saliva, and without waiting for Qiao Xu to refuse, she smiled and said to Xiaohu, "Then thank you, Brother Xiaohu." ”
Xiaohu was instantly dazzled by Qiao Mo'er's smile, his heart trembled, and he said again and again, "No thanks." ”
Qiao Mo'er put the pheasant away and began to look for wild vegetables again.
She knew that Xiaohu was a pheasant who took pity on her, and Qiao Xu's words to help him were just an excuse. She also knows the truth of the phrase 'food that is not rubbed', but at this time, it is useless to save face or anything. are already starving to death, what face do you need?
It's a big deal that you can earn money in the future, and you just have to pay it back.
