Chapter 50: This must not be the case
Miao Yuze's eyelashes flickered for a long time before he finally spoke: "But it has been abandoned for a long time, and no one has been taken care of it, and now it is estimated that ...... It is estimated that it is very old. ”
"Old?" Cherry pondered the word: "What are you afraid of?" It's not like we're going to live. No matter how broken the house is, it can't be poured. ”
"It's not." Yu Ze shook his head again: "Yes...... It's very dirty. It is estimated that the dust is thick. He spoke as if the dust of the old courtyard had been covered by him, and he bowed his head a little ashamedly.
"If it's dirty, what are you afraid of, just clean it up. Besides, we only need to use the chicken coop, and it will take half a while to clean it. Cherry let out a sigh of relief. I secretly thought, Brother Gongzi is still Brother Gongzi after all, he is used to living a rich life, if he is like today, it is okay to bring him to see some new scenes and do some interesting things, but if it is tiring work to do dirty work, it is still not good: "Don't worry, I will do this work, you don't have to do it." ”
Miao Yuze smiled a little unwillingly: "If you really can't think of any other way, I can borrow the old house for you." ”
"That's great. You don't have to worry about cleaning, I won't borrow that place for too long. Cherry clapped her hands happily, not minding that Miao Yuze didn't want to join in cleaning the poultry house: "Before you go back later, pull a few more handfuls of dry grass and put the hare there for the time being." Tomorrow morning, I'll take it to the market and sell it. ”
"Gollum!!" As he spoke, a strange voice came from nowhere.
Miao Qiushan's face was black and red: "I...... I was so excited in the morning that I forgot to eat breakfast. ”
"I don't blame you for not having breakfast." Cherry looked up at the sky: "It's almost noon at this time." It's time for us to eat. "I said hello to a few sisters before I came, and I didn't go home for lunch. Back and forth, the road is so far, it's too troublesome.
Several people swept out a flat area, sat together, and took out the food they had brought with them. Miao Yuze is two white-flour steamed buns and a piece of bacon, Runsheng is two white-flour cornmeal cakes, and Qiushan is two white-flour steamed buns, three small nest heads, plus a salted radish. The most pitiful of the cherries, there are only two small nest heads. This is specially made for her by the eldest sister. If you are at home, you will eat it with a mixture of small nests and thick dough cakes.
Akiyama picked up some dead branches, lit them with flint, and lit a small bonfire.
Cherry looked at her two dry nests and thought to herself, if there was a fire, why not roast a hare to eat? If these wild fat rabbits were to be exchanged for money and distributed to others, they would not ask for them. But if you only eat it, everyone can get a share of the meat. Besides, everyone's lunch is also dry and cold, and burn a rabbit to eat, which is hot and warms the stomach. Anyway, there was less to eat in the morning, so Cherry decided to pick a fat rabbit out and roast it!!
"We caught so many rabbits, and we sold them to others for food. Let's try it first. Cherry said, got up and went to uncover the cloth bag: "No one will see it anyway, let's pick one and bake it and eat it!" ”
"Roast bunny?" Akiyama's eyes lit up almost as soon as he heard it. It seemed that everything that had to do with wild things could make his eyes light up.
"That's fine. Now eat two bites, and it's meat anyway. If you wait for the money, I'm afraid you won't be willing to buy meat to eat. Besides, you don't plan to tell your family about this, even if you are willing to buy it at that time, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy it. Runsheng agreed with the roast rabbit and got up to help Cherry uncover the bag.
Miao Yuze smiled on the side: "Sitting in the mountains and forests, sitting in the mountains and forests, roasting a hare to eat, I really haven't experienced it." I've heard that the wood-grilled meat is particularly fragrant, but I don't know if it's right? ”
Several people almost hit it off and immediately took action.
Akiyama carries a knife with him, and he is in charge of killing rabbits and skinning them. Runsheng and Cherry went to pick up dead branches and came back to burn them, while Miao Yuze was in charge of taking care of the bonfire.
In a few moments, everyone was done.
The hare in winter is particularly fat, and it is covered with meat all over its body. Akiyama strung the stripped rabbit on a thick and stiff branch, set it on the fire, and flipped it back and forth for barbecue. Several people mixed together everything they had brought with them, piled them all on the fire, and ate them when they were hot.
A few people were talking while they were roasting the fire, and after a while, the smell of meat wafted out.
After roasting for an unknown amount of time, Akiyama tried to cook the meat on it, and then used a knife to divide the whole rabbit and divide it among several people.
There is no salt, no condiments, the freshly roasted rabbit meat is put in the mouth, it is hot, there is no taste, only the meat is fragrant, very fragrant.
Several people were very hungry, guarding a bonfire, each holding a piece of rabbit meat and gnawing on it.
This is the first time that I have secretly eaten outside with a few sisters behind my back, and although I feel a little guilty, I still have a lot of fun eating cherries. Anyway, I want to eat, dry hemp think about those who don't have it? When these hares are exchanged for money, they will plant yams, raise chickens, ducks and fish at home in the spring of the next year, and then buy a little piglet, and then they will not be able to eat meat?
Eating the hot rabbit meat, the heat of the bonfire next to him kept coming, and the already thick clothes on his body made Cherry sweat unconsciously.
Reaching out and pulling at the collar and opening the collar button, the cold wind could blow between her necks and take away some heat, and the cherry continued to bury her head in her feast.
"Ahem, ahem!!" Almost at the same time, Runsheng choked all at once, coughed heavily, and his face turned red.
"What's wrong with you?" Cherry got up and patted him on the back.
Runsheng pinned his face, still coughing severely, and his face turned even redder.
"You...... You can't ...... like that," Runsheng coughed, his face still pinched, difficult and intermittent.
"Me? How's it going? Cherry didn't notice anything. Turning his head to look at Akiyama, he saw that he also had a different face, peeking at himself from time to time, and as soon as his eyes were withdrawn, he immediately swept back again.
Looking at Miao Yuze again, his expression was still normal.
"Brother Yuze, I have black ash on my face?" Cherry was suspicious, reaching out and wiping a handful on her face.
"It's not." Miao Yuze shook his head, his eyes fell between Cherry and Runsheng, and he didn't know who of them said: "Since ancient times, men have been outside and women inside. In all dynasties and generations, the suppression and restraint of women have always existed. But even so, there are not a few women. If a man can be shirtless, why shouldn't a woman show her hands and feet? Why not cool with an open collar? ”
When he said this, Cherry realized that it was the collar that was to blame. Looking down again, I just opened my neck, only revealing a part of my neck, and the root of my neck and collarbone were tightly covered, so it didn't work? What about the big summer? Isn't it going to heat up a person?
After Runsheng finished coughing, he found that Cherry was still looking left and right with an open collar, and then looked at Akiyama's peeking eyes from time to time and Yuze's eyes that looked calm, he couldn't care too much, so he had to reach out, hold Cherry's shoulder, and force her to turn around, and at the same time he still made a face: You, you can't do this. Hurry back. ”
Cherry was dissatisfied. Just open your neck and call yourself like a slut. What's in it? In modern times, there are ten or twenty times lower than this, and there are a lot of people who don't wear them directly. Thinking so, she tied her collar back anyway. Being in this era, I have to be bound by this era, alas......
When she tied it, Runsheng still turned his face, added a handful of firewood to the fire, and said, "Eat quickly." After eating, let's look for it again and see if there are any other rabbit nests. If you look closely at this time, you will find that his hands are tightly squeezed together, and the backs of his pale hands are flushed with a touch of pink peach.
The cherries had to retreat away from the fire before continuing to eat.
Akiyama retracted his gaze regretfully, smacking the rabbit bone in his hand without knowing what he was thinking.
Miao Yuze's eyes swept back and forth on Runsheng and Cherry a few times, lowered his eyelashes, and gently ate the rabbit meat in his hand.
After eating, several people rested around the bonfire for a while before they began to continue to find rabbit footprints.
It was only before they went around that they caught a hare.
Because they had walked a little far, it would take a long time to return and clean the poultry house, get some dead grass and the like, so they packed up their things and prepared to go down the mountain.
Cherry reluctantly descended the mountain. I was looking forward to a heavy snowfall, but today the sun is abundant and the snow has begun to melt. Tomorrow, I don't know if I can still see the footprints. I am looking forward to the next heavy snowfall, but I don't know when I will go.
The four of them carried a cloth bag and quietly returned to Xiaomiao Village. From the back of the village, I took a detour to the old courtyard of Miao Yuze's house in the west of Tiantou.
It is said that it is an old courtyard, but in fact, it is much stronger than the courtyard of the cherry family. The green tile brick wall and the wooden door are still very strong, although the paint has been lost. When you open the door and go in, the doors inside are many times stronger than Cherry's.
The yard is very large, there are no wings, and the poultry house and pigsty are also very large, all built on the west side of the yard, and on the east side is a small vegetable garden, and the ridges are neat, which shows how careful the people who opened this vegetable garden were at that time. It's just that now this yard is deserted, let alone this small vegetable garden.
The dust in the yard is indeed not thin, the ground is not yet visible, go to the front of the poultry house to see, there is a thick layer of dust on the door of the branches, open it, the poultry house suddenly set off a burst of dust, and then look closely, there are a lot of poultry manure on the ground, but after a long time of air drying, has turned into a similar color to the soil.
Runsheng and Akiyama cleaned it out together, and then put the hares in their pockets, and Cherry put all the dead grass in the poultry house. There is nothing else to eat in winter, and hares usually come out to forage for food, and eat some dry grass.
After doing this, Miao Yuze handed the doorkey to Cherry: "I still have a book to read tomorrow morning, come by yourself." ”
Cherry was stunned: "You don't worry about me?" "Although it is a panic yard, there are still many household items in the yard, and there are farm tools in the grass hut next to the wall. Through the windows of the house, you can see that there is a lot of furniture inside.
"We've eaten meat together, so what's not to believe?" Miao Yuze bent his lips and smiled perfectly. The short coat, trousers, and small leggings also brightened up.
