Chapter 63: Go up the mountain to catch black chickens
Ye Jinyan used to live in a restaurant in the town every day, and spent a few taels of silver, the worst thing about preserved eggs is that it takes a long time, if you can find a black bird, maybe you can subsidize the family.
Ye Jinyan rubbed his chin with one hand, looked at the interested Ye Jinyu and asked, "Are you still scared to go up the mountain now?" ”
Ye Jinyu snorted and said, "When have I ever been scared." ”
"That's good, you can go up the mountain with me to find the black bird." Ye Jinyan proposed.
"Good!" He agreed without hesitation. He also wanted to prove that he was really better than he was two months ago.
Since they decided to catch the black bird, it was imperative to get it.
The villagers struggled for several days but didn't catch it, which means that it is not simple, that is to say, although it can't fly, it should be quite fast, and maybe you can lure it out with food.
Ye Jinyu took a basket in his left hand and some millet in his right hand, and followed behind Ye Jinyan in full gear.
Ye Jinyan heard that those farmers would go up the mountainside, because the black bird couldn't fly, so it was difficult to reach the top of the mountain. However, the mountains on their side are all deep mountains and old forests, and no one has ever set foot in the forest in many places, which is dense and heavy, and it is difficult to pass.
Ye Jinyan took a stick and scared the snake while beating the grass, which would be relatively safe.
Ye Jinyu looked left and right, for fear that a snake would fall from the sky.
Ye Jinyan turned his head and saw his gaze and teased. "Are you still afraid of snakes?"
"Don't be afraid." He said seriously, "Sister, I'm very powerful now, and I'm not afraid of anything." ”
Ye Jinyan patted his brain and said, "Okay, good, you're very powerful." ”
Many of the trees on the mountainside have been cut down by others, either because the trees are thicker on this side, or because the black birds are here.
But after cutting down so many trees and still not finding the black bird, it actually means that although there are footprints here, it will not come here.
The mountains are particularly large, and wild animals like to hide in places where there are no people, and the places where there are no people are deep in the forest.
They walked down the path, which went deeper and deeper, from the low bushes to the deep forest, where the trees blocked the sun, and the darkness was faintly audible, and the chirping of birds and the rustle of leaves could be faintly heard.
Ye Jinyu frowned and looked at all this, if he had come here before, he might have really been scared, but he had to protect his sister now, so he couldn't be scared, he had to face all the dangers.
Ye Jinyan glanced up and down at the forest, and guessed: "I think the black bird should be here, but it's strange why no one is here?" ”
"Sister, have you forgotten, there are bears here, and someone has been bitten off by a bear before."
Ye Jinyan turned his head to look at Ye Jinyu, was stunned, and asked, "Why didn't you remind me?" ”
She had never heard anything about the mountain, probably because the original owner had too many memories, and she had only remembered a small part of the main ones, and she had forgotten all the trivial things.
Ye Jinyu stretched out her hand and scratched her head, and whispered, "Sister, I thought you knew." ”
Ye Jinyan didn't answer, and turned his head to look into the depths of the large forest. Since they are all here, they have to return with a full load
There is a small river in the village, and this is where the source of that small river begins, and the accumulated water here forms a huge lake, which flows down the mountainside every day and circles around the village.
The two of them did not find the black bird, but they did find the lake, the water of the lake was crystal clear, and a few small fish could be faintly seen swimming in it.
Ye Jinyan praised: "It's a pity that such clear water is used to wash clothes." ”
"yes, it's water that feels cleaner than the water we drink."
Ye Jinyu walked to the lake, stretched out his hand and put it in the lake, the cool lake water was very comfortable, he had a lot of fun, just when he was about to leave, he saw a snow-white feathered "bird" standing by the lake like him, but it was drinking water, its beak was pointed and more like a chicken.
Ye Jinyu's eyes widened, turned around and stepped back cautiously, he stretched out his hand and pulled Ye Jinyan's clothes, and said, "Sister, look there!" ”
Ye Jinyan looked at the place he pointed and found that there was a "black chicken" flapping its wings, Ye Jinyan asked confusedly, "What's wrong?" Isn't it just a black chicken? ”
"That's not a black chicken, that's a black bird." Ye Jinyu was about to shout, "The black bird is very, very precious. ”
The word "black bird" exploded in Ye Jinyan's mind.
Although she didn't know when the black chicken became so precious, after all, this was not her original world, and everything was different, so she could only accept it.
Ye Jinyan glanced at Ye Jinyu and asked Ye Jinyu to set up the basket and food, waiting for the black chicken to take the bait by itself.
Ye Jinyu propped up the basket with wooden branches and sprinkled a circle of millet in the middle, but after a while, he didn't see the black bird coming.
The black bird was also happy to take a leisurely walk by the lake.
Ye Jinyu whispered in Ye Jinyan's ear: "Sister, is this really okay?" It really didn't work, so I just rushed out and grabbed it. ”
It feels like a joke to let the black bird take the bait on its own, and a group of big men can't catch this black bird, let alone a small trap.
Ye Jinyan didn't speak, just let him look at the black bird, the time passed minute by minute, the wind became more and more fierce, the black bird flapped its wings, turned around and wanted to leave.
Ye Jinyu was anxious, he pulled Ye Jinyan's sleeve and said anxiously: "Sister, if you don't get on it, you'll run away." But Ye Jinyan was still unmoved, and a pair of eyes seemed to be glued to the black bird.
She wanted to see if it was her trap or if the blackbird was really smart.
The black bird walked around the basket several times, and finally went in and pecked the rice, and as soon as it entered, the wooden frame that supported the basket collapsed, and it was locked in the basket. Ye Jinyu was overjoyed.
Ye Jinyan walked over and knocked on the basket without hurrying, only to hear a rooster crowing from inside.
This is obviously a black chicken, but I have to say that it is a bird!
The difference between the black chickens in the basket is that Ye Jinyu has been holding Ye Jinyan in circles, as if it was the first time that she knew that her sister was so powerful.
Ye Jinyan stretched out his hand and patted his head, stuffed the black bird and the basket into his arms, and said to him: "Since the black bird has been caught, you can take a good look at it, and sell it when we return to the village." ”
Generally, people in the town eat more black chicken, mainly because they are rich. Ye Jinyan didn't want to go to the town recently, she just wanted to sell the black bird casually in the village in exchange for a little snack money to decorate the house, after all, the house was crumbling, and it was estimated that it would collapse in the wind and rain, and she didn't want to sleep in the pile of tiles.
"Good!" Ye Jinyu rejoiced with the basket, and he was overjoyed at the thought that he could make a fortune with the black bird.
Ye Jin also glanced at the gravel in front of him, and reminded him loudly: "Happiness is happy, but you still have to watch the road under your feet, be careful......"
