Chapter 13: Predation
Shen Xinyue shouted that she was hungry, and after Li Jing took her out of the Li family, she went to her cousin Li Qinglin's house to borrow a bow and arrow. The remaining pheasants and hares yesterday were all sold by the third child, and he didn't give his daughter-in-law stewed soup to make up for her body. Anyway, there is a lot of trouble at home today, and the ears are not clean when I go back, so it is better to go hunting in the mountains, and if I am lucky, I will have pheasants and hares to eat, and if I am unlucky, I can also pick some seasonal wild fruits to satisfy my hunger.
Li Qinglin took a bow and arrow, and when he saw Shen Xinyue beside Li Jing, he was stunned by her appearance at first, and then felt rude, and immediately retracted his gaze to look at Li Jing and said, "Fourth, this girl is ......"
Li Jing didn't know how to introduce Shen Xinyue at this time, she was afraid that she would be angry if she was reckless and asked to introduce her as her daughter-in-law, and after thinking about it, she said: "Brother Lobby, this is Yue'er, my mother is ......" He glanced at Shen Xinyue quickly, and continued with his neck: "My future daughter-in-law, but I haven't set a date yet." Special situation, now living in my house. ”
When Shen Xinyue heard this, she was speechless and asked Cangtian, but she didn't refute it. The original body was bought by the Li family as a daughter-in-law, and the situation is indeed quite special, who let himself be unlucky?
When Li Qinglin heard this, he was stunned, then shouted "brother and sister" with a smile and handed over the bow and arrow.
Li Jing was afraid that Shen Xinyue would be angry, so he didn't dare to stay any longer, put a bow and arrow on his back, thanked Li Qinglin, and left with Shen Xinyue.
Li Qinglin stood in place and watched the backs of the two leaving, and muttered, "Didn't the third child say that his mother married him a daughter-in-law?" Could it be that you married two at once? ”
"Daddy, what are you doing in a daze? If you don't come to help, Dunzi is crying! ”
"Hey, it's coming!"
Li Qinglin heard his son crying, and he didn't care about how many daughters-in-law the Li family had married, so he turned around and ran into the house.
Shen Xinyue chased Guo around the village yesterday, but she didn't take a good look at the village. From time to time, three or five children ran by happily, which reminded her of the happy days of her childhood in the countryside.
Li Jing took her towards the mountains and forests, met several enthusiastic aunts along the way, and after seeing Shen Xinyue with sharp eyes, he gossiped to Li Jing to ask who this girl was.
So, Li Jing told several aunts about Li Qinglin.
It's a big deal now, Li Jing, a promising young man in Qingshan Village, has a daughter-in-law, although he is not married, he lives together. In an instant, the news spread throughout the village as if it had grown legs.
Li Jing and Shen Xinyue didn't know that when the two entered the mountain, Li Jing asked Shen Xinyue to wait for him in a clearing and not to run around, while he himself carried a bow and arrows to go around.
It's time for the animals that have been hungry all night to come out and forage for food.
Shen Xinyue was instructed, and looking at the dense forest, she didn't dare to run around. This era is much worse than the original world, and it's not fun to encounter tigers in this kind of mountain forest or something.
So, Li Jing went hunting, and she sat on the ground and took a nap.
To be honest, although she went to bed early, she still hadn't eased up, and when she was relaxed, she felt sleepy and wanted to sleep.
I don't know how long it took, Shen Xinyue shook her head, nodded her head suddenly, and opened her eyes, but saw that Li Jing had a fire on the side, and above the fire, there was a hare roasting, which was already shiny at this time.
"Yue'er, are you awake?"
Li Jing saw her wake up and showed a big smile, simple and natural.
Shen Xinyue nodded, her face was full of embarrassment, and she said with a little apology: "I'm sorry Fourth Brother, I fell asleep." I...... I'm going to collect firewood now. ”
"No need." Li Jing stretched out his hand to hold her, and said with a smile: "You squint for a while, when I clean up the pheasant and roast it, the hare should be cooked." ”
Today is lucky, there must be the lucky star of Yue'er, otherwise I would not have hunted two fat pheasants and hares near this empty wood.
Shen Xinyue's eyes also saw the firewood that Li Jing had picked up, and sat back on the ground before saying, "Fourth brother, are you going to roast the pheasant too?" ”
"Hmm." Li Jing nodded and explained: "Pheasant stew is the best, give you a nourishment for your body." But the situation at home ...... Yue'er, make do with it, and ...... later"
When Li Jing thought of it, he suddenly stopped, and he didn't dare to continue, he wasn't sure if he could give her the best. The people in the family, one by one, didn't know if he was capable of protecting her.
Even if he swore that he would do everything in his power to protect her.
Shen Xinyue didn't want to eat roast hare and then roast pheasant, but the stewed soup was not that condition, and suddenly thought that there was a lotus root by the pond when she came, and the lotus leaves were big and round, and the green was attractive, so she smiled and said: "Fourth brother, you clean up the pheasant, and I will go back." ”
"Yue'er, where are you going?"
Li Jing was not at ease and stood up with her.
Shen Xinyue waved her hand to him as she walked out of the forest, "Come back soon, you are optimistic about the fire." ”
Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour, Shen Xinyue came back, holding a large and round lotus leaf in one hand, and behind her, followed by Li Qingchuan, who was carrying the mud with the lotus leaf.
"Third brother?"
When Li Jing saw Li Qingchuan, he was a little confused, he was a little unconfident and thought, shouldn't Yue'er call the third brother?
Li Qingchuan didn't notice the sadness in Li Jing's eyes, answered, then put the mud on the ground, looked at Shen Xinyue and said, "Daughter-in-law, the mud is here, what are you going to do?" ”
When Shen Xinyue approached, she saw the loss in Li Jing's eyes, but because Li Qingchuan was there, she couldn't explain it. What's more, she didn't mean that much to the two brothers, wouldn't it be darker and darker no matter how much she explained?
Li Qingchuan called her daughter-in-law, but she couldn't correct it, and she didn't bother to correct it, so she said, "Put it there, I'll get it." Then he looked at Li Jing and said, "Fourth brother, have you cleaned up the chickens?" ”
"Good...... All right. ”
Li Jing was so sad that she didn't scold her third brother for calling her "daughter-in-law".
Shen Xinyue immediately put the pheasant in the lotus leaf, and then smeared the salt that Li Jing put aside on the pheasant, which was tightly wrapped, and then wrapped in thin mud.
"Daughter-in-law, what are you doing?"
"Yue'er."
Li Qingchuan and Li Jing saw Shen Xinyue digging a pit by the fire, and the two immediately stepped forward to help.
Shen Xinyue retreated and said to the two: "Dig a pit, bury this in it, then backfill the soil, and then make a fire on it." When the soil is dry, you can eat it. ”
Forehead......
The two brothers had never seen this way of eating, and after hesitating for a moment, they still started to move.
When everything was done, the hare was roasted.
Li Jing tore off a meaty hind leg and handed it to Shen Xinyue, asking her to eat it carefully, and then pulled a front leg and handed it to Li Qingchuan: "Third brother, give it." ”
"I'm going to be a hind leg too."
Li Qingchuan looked at the front leg and wanted to eat the remaining hind leg.
Li Jing was unwilling, insisted on handing him the front legs, and then said with a little resentment: "That's reserved for Yue'er, you and I don't have to eat." ”
