Chapter 45: Is it also a sin to eat too much?
"You go to the General's Mansion today and find a way to borrow some money to come back, or tomorrow there will be no rice at home!" Lin Ya's face was embarrassed!
"How so? Our family has always had very little expenses, and we can save half of our monthly income every month! How can there be no rice in the pot? Xuan Zhongwu was extremely puzzled. His wife is virtuous and very diligent and thrifty, although his monthly income is meager, but Lin Ya has taken care of this home in an orderly manner over the years, although there is no big fish and meat, but there is never a shortage of coarse tea and light rice. There has never been a time when food was cut out in the middle of the month.
"This ......" Lin Ya was a little embarrassed, just looking at Xuanyue.
Xuanyue asked, "Is it related to the little badger?" ”
Lin Ya nodded.
Xiaobao blurted out: "The little badger is too edible!" In less than five days, it had eaten up three months of our family's stockpile! ”
Xuan Zhongwu's face was incredulous: "Is this true?" ”
Lin Ya nodded and said, "Originally, I didn't plan to tell you. The little badger eats an amazing amount of food, and has eaten up all the food stored at home in the past few days! And...... The chickens and ducks fed at home have all been stolen and eaten by it! ”
Xuan Zhongwu said: "The food stored at home is enough for our family of four to eat for three months, which is equivalent to one person's food ration for one year. The little badger is only the size of a kitten, how can it have such an amazing appetite? ”
Lin Ya smiled bitterly and did not answer. She felt that it was her dereliction of duty not to be a good family.
"Lose it!"
Xuanyue suddenly spoke!
She knew the financial situation of the Xuan family. Xiaobao is the heart and soul of the whole family, and it is very difficult for him to eat a meal of meat and an egg. The little badger eats so much that it will only bring down the family.
"Whew!"
The little badger suddenly rushed in from the door, waving its paws at Xuanyue in protest.
Obviously, it sensed something.
It's just that it doesn't understand.
Why did the owner cruelly abandon it?
Is it also a sin to eat too much?
Lin Ya shook her head resolutely: "No! If we leave it alone, it's likely to be eaten by wild beasts! Its life is at stake in your life! ”
Xuan Zhongwu frowned and said, "If you lose it, you won't be able to!" However, there is no way to go on like this! Even if we don't eat ourselves, we can't feed it! ”
Xiaobao said: "Sister." You can't lose the badger. After the big deal, I'll only eat one meal a day. He played with the little badger every day, and gradually became emotional.
Xuanyue said: "I didn't say I wanted to throw it outside!" It's just that our family can't afford to feed it! Since it is the size of an adult badger, it should also be able to hunt on its own! We built him a small house in the backyard of the yard, broke a small hole in the fence, and let him go out to find food on his own and come back to sleep at night! ”
Lin Ya said: "This method is good! There are not many people living in this area, and there are often hares and voles infested. It can find some food and learn some survival and predation skills. As long as we don't leave the house, we can also take care of it for a while, at least keep it safe. If possible, a limited amount of food can be given to him every day. ”
"Good!"
"Let's do it!"
"There's no way around it!"
Xuan Zhongwu naturally agreed. Now he has a subjective sense of identity with this daughter's proposition! This young daughter, many times, her opinions and opinions are extremely mature and sophisticated, which amazes him!
The results of the family meeting are in.
The little badger eats an amazing amount of food and is decisively abandoned!
Of course, it was not kicked out of Xuan's house. Xuan's family set up a nest in the corner of the backyard so that it would not have to be eaten by wild animals in the wilderness.
It's the best of both worlds!
However, something strange happened to Xuan's family the next day!
When Xuan's family got up in the morning, they found that there were many potholes in the yard. There are about seven or eight potholes in the front yard and more than twenty in the backyard. The large potholes are the size of buckets, and the small ones are the size of watermelons.
"There is an enemy invasion!" Xiaobao nervously took out the big knife he used to practice martial arts!
"What are the enemies digging up our soil for?" Lin Ya was much calmer.
"There's no way anyone can dig nearly thirty pits in one night without me noticing." Xuan Zhongwu looked puzzled. His attainments in martial arts may be far inferior to his brother and younger brother, but he is also the second master of the General's Mansion, and his skills are far superior to ordinary people. He was confident that no one could dig thirty holes in his house without him noticing, not even if his father himself did it!
"Dirt...... Where did it go? Xuanyue's eyes shone with a faint light.
"What soil?" Xuan Zhongwu asked.
"Dirt! Dirt inside the pit! Since so many pits have been dug, what about the soil in the original pits? "Xuan Yue is thoughtful, far from being comparable to ordinary people like Xuan Zhongwu. She saw the crux of the matter at a glance!
"Satsuki is right! Dad, look at these pits, there are only pits, no soil! Where did the soil go? Lin Ya said.
"Is there a thief in the house? Stealing our family's soil? Going to grow vegetables? "Xuan Zhongwu really has a headache!
"Why don't you steal vegetables? It's ridiculous to steal soil and grow vegetables! What's more, the feet are all loess. Why come to my house and steal? I think...... Someone must have taken a fancy to some treasure buried in the soil. A total of thirty-two pits were dug before and after, and it was clear that they were looking for something! "Xuanyue's calm analysis!
"Baby?" Lin Ya looked at Xuan Zhongwu.
"What are you looking at me for? What treasures do I have? If so, don't you know? Xuan Zhongwu couldn't laugh or cry!
Lin Ya said: "That's it! Our poor family can't even afford meat, and if there was a baby, it would have been changed long ago! We have been buying this house for more than ten years, and we have never heard of any treasures in the field, and the previous owners of the house were just ordinary farmers, and if there were really treasures, they would not sell the house! ”
Xuanyue said: "I don't know what treasures are in the soil. But I analyzed that the person has not been found. ”
Lin Ya asked, "How do you know?" ”
Xuanyue said: "If you dig up the baby, will you still dig it?" ”
Lin Ya said: "Of course not! If you dig up the baby, you naturally hurry up! ”
Xuanyue said: "That's right! When you dig up the baby, you'll go! There are thirty-two pits here, and they have been dug almost all night! So most of the time I didn't dig it! If there's really any treasure in the dirt and the thief hasn't found it yet, I'll be back tonight......"
"Her father? What to do? ”
Lin Ya was anxious when she heard that the thief would come tonight.
Xiaobao suddenly asked, "Mother, where is our hoe?" ”
Lin Ya asked, "What do you want a hoe for?" ”
Xiaobao said: "Dig the baby!" ”
"I'm going to see the little badger." Xuanyue is too lazy to pay attention to the affairs of thieves and treasures, and these things are naturally handled by adults.
She went to the backyard alone, and through a row of pine trees, she came to the badger's den.
The little badger's black whirring tail is exposed, and its head is buried in the nest, and it is "beeping and beeping" to gnaw something......
"You've only been here for a day and you've caught food? Is it a hare or a vole? Xuanyue asked with a smile.
"Whew-w-"
Hearing the owner's voice, the little badger jumped out of the nest excitedly.
Xuanyue saw the dirt on the side of its mouth and said, "It turned out that it caught a vole!" That's not bad either! You can catch voles on the first day! Suddenly, her gaze drifted to the little badger's nest......
Suddenly!
She was stunned!
Where is this vole?
It's a lot of dirt!
