There was nothing to do in the next day, and He Mai came out with a small bench to sit in the sun and read a medical book. Flash Dance.

There are countless herbs in medical books, and the types of herbs on the first few pages are more common, so He Mai will read them slowly and memorize them carefully.

Remember this page and page, it will be real money in the future! He Mai watched silently in his heart, and not a single herb was left behind.

Time passed slowly, and He Mai didn't know how long he had been looking, and his eyes were a little sour, before he raised his head and looked at the sky, and then looked at Qin's place.

Qin put down the needlework in his hand, took a break, and looked at the wheat gently.

The quiet and beautiful time was slowly spent in the warmth and tranquility of the grandparents and grandchildren looking at each other and smiling, but neither of them noticed that the naughtiest little thing in the yard ran out at some point.

He Mai put down the book and went to feed the pigs, only then did he realize that something was wrong-where was Xiao Hei, who usually followed her at her feet and saw her feeding the pigs, where was he gone!?

As soon as He Mai asked, the Qin family also sighed, "Huh! It seems that I haven't seen Xiao Hei after eating? Where can it run? ”

"I don't know, it usually walks around the yard and hasn't walked for so long," He Mai was confused, faintly worried.

"Could it be that you are looking for the mountain to smell Rokuro's scent?" Qin asked worriedly.

He Mai's expression was shocked, "No......"

"Wait, the dog's nose is smart, and he can go out and come back with a taste, maybe he will go home in a while......"

He Mai nodded, "Well, Xiao Hei is smart."

Who knew that there was no trace of Xiao Hei this night.

Blind in the dark sky, He Mai carried a torch from the Yang family to the Qin family's thatched courtyard, and searched back and forth twice and shouted Xiao Hei's name, but Xiao Hei did not answer.

Where can I go...... He Mai was very depressed.

The biggest possibility is what Qin said, Xiao Hei went up the mountain looking for Liulang's scent.

But the mountain is so big, even if Xiao Hei goes up the mountain, can he find Liulang?

It's so small, if you meet a wild boar bear blind......

He Mai's heart was raised.

Don't look at the fact that there is nothing special about this little guy at home, but if you don't see Xiao Hei, Hemai's heart is empty and she can't do anything.

She was secretly anxious in her heart, thinking that she should not go to the mountains to look around, maybe poor Xiao Hei was trapped in a trap by a beast or some deep pit, and she was howling in it, how could this be?

Or Qin's good words persuaded He Mai to tell her not to go up the mountain at night, at night, the mountain is a monster that eats people and does not spit out bones, if it is a person who has no three or two children, isn't it just to add chaos to it!

Even if you want to find Xiao Hei, you have to survive tonight, and you will go again tomorrow morning!

He Mai couldn't sleep well all night, pricking up his ears to listen to the movement in the courtyard, delusionally wondering if Xiao Hei would come back from where he had had enough?

When it was almost dawn, He Mai couldn't stand it anymore and closed his eyes and was confused for a while. Flash Dance.

After a while, Qin Shi woke up Hemai, "Xiao Hei is back!" ”

"Coming back?" He Mai opened his eyes violently and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Well, bite a bunch of dead rats and come back," Qin smiled bitterly, "Set up a yard!" ”

"Huh?" He Mai's drowsiness was dispelled, and he hurriedly rolled over from the bed.

In the courtyard, the little black was eating the cornmeal that the Qin family had soaked for it, and there were seven or eight of them behind it.

"Blackie!" He Mai walked in front of Xiao Hei in a few steps, pulled Xiao Hei's ear, and said angrily: "Where did you go?" ”

Xiao Hei whimpered, and didn't care about eating cornmeal, and when he saw that his master was angry, he hurriedly got into the foot of Hemai.

He Mai was angry, but now when he saw Xiao Hei's soft body rolling around obediently at his feet, and he still showed his belly very trustingly, he didn't have any idea of teaching it a lesson.

With a sigh, he rubbed his little black velvet head, and his anger subsided.

"Hey, how did this little thing get so many dead rats?" Qin shook his head with a sigh, "Are there so many rats at this time?" ”

He Mai stood up at this moment, looked through the dead rats on the ground, and frowned, "This rat ...... It's weird, fat, and fat, not like those ordinary mice. ”

Qin Shi also said: "Yes! Usually, the rats in the rat hole are small, and the biggest one is not half the size of this mouse. ”

When He Mai looked at the mice on the ground and was puzzled, he saw Xu Jiang coming in from outside the door and saw the scene on the ground in the courtyard, and he was also startled, "Yo, why are there so many mice!" ”

"It's all caught by Xiao Hei, I didn't go home all night last night, it's really wild." He Mai sighed, "Brother Xu, why are you here?" ”

Xu Jiang sighed, "Have you finished drinking the medicine you used last time?" I'll send you some more. ”

He handed over the medicine bag in his hand, and He Mai took it and put it in the stove room.

Xu Jiang lowered his head and carefully studied the dead mouse on the ground, and after a while, he suddenly said in surprise: "Hey, isn't this a bamboo rat?" It's a bamboo rat! ”

"Bamboo rats?" He Mai paused for a moment, "Brother Xu, you said this is a bamboo rat purchased by the restaurant?" ”

The last time He Mai and Liulang went to the town's restaurant to sell wild boar meat and roe deer, she knew from the mouth of the second child in the restaurant that they not only bought game, but also domestic and wild bamboo rats.

However, she had only heard the name bamboo rat, and she had not actually seen what the bamboo rat looked like.

Now Xu Jiang recognized the bamboo rat, and after He Mai was slightly surprised, he hurriedly squatted on the ground to study the bamboo rat.

The bamboo rat is fat and fat, the thick meat is fat, and when you pick it up and shake it gently, the whole body of meat is like a puddle of fat and oil.

Xu Jiang stared at the bamboo rat in a daze, swallowed his saliva and said, "I don't know what the smell of this bamboo rat is?" ”

"Really, really?" He Mai opened his mouth.

Qin Shi was surprised, "Xu Langzhong, this mouse can't be eaten!" This thing is messy, dirty, and sick from taking medicine! ”

"Grandma Lin, this is a bamboo rat, not a mouse!" Xu Jiang explained.

But the Qin clan couldn't listen to it for a while, and just persuaded Xu Jiang not to move his heart to the bamboo rat.

Xu Jiang had no choice but to say: "This bamboo rat is very different from a mouse!" It doesn't touch the things that don't dry and clean, it eats the bamboo and miscanthus grass, and doesn't go to the place where it is buried, it won't be sick! ”

Seeing that he was contemplating rats, Qin Shi persuaded him for a while and shook his head and entered the house.

He Maiyin had seen a restaurant buy bamboo rats in the town, and knew that this bamboo rat should be clean and edible, but she had never cooked bamboo rat meat, so she really didn't know how to cook this thing, so she asked Xu Jiang.

Xu Jiang's eyebrows fluttered and replied: "It's like braised pork!" The meat of this thing is fatty and tender, I am afraid that pork and mutton are far from comparable! Hey, hey, then- can I stay for lunch at noon? ”

He Mai smiled: "Of course! But say it in advance, if this bamboo rat meat is not delicious, don't blame me! ”

"No blame, no blame!"
