Chapter 7 Picking Wild Fruits
As she spoke, she looked up at the tree, and sure enough, she found a few in the treetops, and the red fruits hung on the top of the tree, although they were small, they greatly stimulated the taste buds of Liu Man'er.
She couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and shook Ye Yuan's arm, "You hurry up and take it off." ”
"How can I pick it, the fruit hangs there, I can't pick it even if I climb a tree." Ye Yuan replied helplessly.
Liu Man'er was a little dejected when she heard this, seeing her like this, Ye Yuan didn't speak, just walked over and shook the branches, but the fruit on it still didn't move.
Ye Yuan was also a little helpless, Liu Man'er sighed, but when she saw the bow and arrow behind Ye Yuan, her eyes lit up again, "Don't you know how to shoot arrows?" Won't you just shoot those fruits down? ”
"Okay!" Hearing Liu Man'er's words, Ye Yuan's eyes lit up.
It's a bit tricky to shoot a small fruit with an arrow, but it's just a matter of practicing your archery skills.
So Ye Yuan pulled his bow to shoot these fruits, and Liu Man'er was busy picking them up.
After a while, Ye Yuan shot down all the fruits that could be seen on the tree, and Liu Man'er also picked up all his arrows.
"You're amazing!" Pointing the arrow upward, Liu Man'er showed the red fruit on it to Ye Yuan, "The arrow is not missing!" ”
"Yo, you still know that the arrow is not missing!" Ye Yuan was infected by her happy appearance, and his mood was quite happy.
"The last time I listened to my second brother study, there was such a word." Liu Man'er explained the past vaguely, then broke off the fruits from the arrows one by one, and returned the arrows to Ye Yuan.
"Here, taste it." picked up two fruits and wiped them on his clothes, Liu Man'er handed one to Ye Yuan, and after seeing him take it, he stuffed the other one into his mouth.
"Well, it's delicious." This wild fruit seems to have a fresh and natural smell in the mountains, sweet and sour, very delicious.
Of course, there are still some astringent tastes, but Liu Man'er ignored the past, she has been hungry for so long, she has forgotten what the fruit tasted like in her previous life, and this wild fruit has become the most delicious fruit she has ever eaten in her life.
Over the years, she tasted it a few more times, but every time she tasted it again, she could no longer find the original taste.
"Here, you eat another one." Liu Man'er handed another one to Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness in his heart when he saw such a willow man'er, if she had been like this all her life, how good would it be?
Maybe she has been watching her at home, she will always be like this, thinking like this, Ye Yuan also felt that the sour fruit in his hand became delicious.
After eating three in a row, Liu Man'er stopped, because her teeth were a little sore, and more importantly, there was not much fruit left.
Putting the fruit in the small basket behind her, Liu Man'er proposed, "Are there any other trees?" These are not enough to take back. ”
"There's a little more ahead."
"Then take me there."
The two of them ran under another fruit tree, and did the same to get the wild fruit from this fruit tree.
There are only a few gardenia trees on this mountain, and Liu Man'er is a little greedy and asks Ye Yuan to shoot them all down.
Along the way, she carried the fruit on her back and smiled.
There was no road ahead, Ye Yuan took Liu Man'er into the mountain forest, and after that, his steps slowed down.
Liu Man'er also followed the silence, and the surroundings fell silent for a moment, not far away a fallen leaf fluttered down, and Liu Man'er heard the soft sound of it falling on the grass.
There was another sound of rustling, and Liu Man'er pulled Ye Yuan, pointed to the left, and motioned for him to go that way.
Ye Yuan glanced sideways at Liu Man'er, who put her hand between her lips and made a silent gesture, and then pulled Ye Yuan to walk over there.
After walking for a while, Ye Yuan finally saw the big wild boar in the grass.
He put the arrow on the bow and pulled the bow like a full moon, and at this time, the wild boar found Ye Yuan and raised his head in an instant.
There was a dangerous glint in its eyes, and this man had invaded its territory!
In an instant, the mane on the boar's back stood up, and the hairs on Liu Man'er's body also stood up.
On the other hand, Ye Yuan on the side still had that serious look, and he didn't have too much fear on his face.
Seeing him like this, Liu Man'er's heart slowly relaxed.
However, before her nervousness had completely subsided, the boar moved, it was very fast, and in an instant it pounced on Liu Man'er!
This wild boar is nimble, not like a domestic pig, it is very fast, and Liu Man'er does not want to become a pig ghost.
"Don't!"
She screamed, and the strange thing was that when the wild boar pounced on the willow vine, its movements really stopped, and in an instant, Ye Yuan on the side pulled out the firewood knife he was carrying on his side and cut the wild boar to the ground.
"Are you alright?" Ye Yuan asked, although he was still so serious, his eyes were full of concern.
Liu Man'er didn't answer his question, but looked at the wild boar that had been injured and fled into the distance, and said hurriedly: "Don't chase it yet!" ”
Ye Yuan heard Liu Man'er's words, but he was not in a hurry, "Don't worry, keep you to eat pork!" ”
As he spoke, the boar really stopped, and soon collapsed to the ground.
Liu Man'er and Ye Yuan walked over and saw the wild boar lying on the ground, warm blood flowing from the wound, and still panting.
"You said he was the one who wanted to kill you, but you rushed at me." Liu Man'er looked at the wild boar and said casually.
"I escaped the traps of countless hunters, but I didn't expect to die here!" The wild boar snorted twice, and Liu Man'er seemed to know what it was thinking again.
Strange, the doubts in her heart became deeper and deeper, she wanted to listen to the wild boar say a few more words, to determine whether she could really understand the animal, but unfortunately the wild boar had already died.
Is it really my ability to understand animals, or is it all my own imagination? Because there are some problems with the original owner's brain, it is very likely that the original owner's brain is not normal.
Liu Man'er still didn't believe that she had this ability, after all, it was too incredible.
Liu Man'er decided not to think about these things anymore, but to start enjoying the joy of getting prey.
She untied the rope from her waist and handed it to Ye Yuan, and asked, "Ye Yuan, our wild boar is so big, how much do you think we can sell it for?" ”
"A few hundred words!" Ye Yuan said casually.
"Is a few hundred more or too little? Is such a large wild boar equivalent to hundreds of eggs? Liu Man'er doesn't know how much she can buy for a few hundred dollars, she only knows that an egg costs a penny.
"It's already a lot, I used to be a soldier, and a year's bribe is only two taels of silver, and this wild boar is already equivalent to my one-month bribe." Ye Yuan explained with Liu Man'er.
"Oh." Liu Man'er nodded, and said: "Then I have made a lot of efforts today, and after the wild boar is sold for money, can you give me a little bit of pocket money?" ”
"Pocket money?" Ye Yuan didn't quite understand the meaning of this word.
"Just give me some money to spend, okay?" Liu Man'er asked cautiously.
"It's up to you to behave." Ye Yuan stretched out his hand again and touched Liu Man'er's head.
Although Liu Man'er is sixteen years old, she is still childish, she is not very short, but standing next to the tall Ye Yuan, she looks a little like a child.
"I'll do well." Liu Man'er shook Ye Yuan's arm and promised: "I won't steal other people's things in the future, and I will be very good to my younger brothers and sisters, including Chen'er." ”
"Okay!" Seeing that Liu Man'er was obedient like a child, Ye Yuan agreed.
Liu Man'er smiled at this time, she felt that it was good to be coquettish like a child, in her previous life, in order not to let others look down on her, she carried everything hard, and she was so tired of living.
Now, wearing the skin of a fool, it is much easier to live.
Ye Yuan tied up the wild boar and chopped a piece of firewood with a firewood knife to make a flat pole.
"Man'er, can you go home and call Ye Qing to carry this wild boar with me?" Ye Yuan looked at the slender Liu Man'er and didn't intend to let her contribute.
"No need, I'll come, I'm strong." Yesterday, Liu Man'er had already comprehended the power of this body, at least, twice as much as in her previous life, and it should be no problem to carry this wild boar with him.
"Are you sure?" Looking at her immature shoulders, Ye Yuan still had some doubts about her strength.
"Don't worry." Liu Man'er patted her chest.
In fact, she was too lazy to go up and down the mountain again, and after walking for half a day today, her legs were weak.
Seeing that she was so sure, Ye Yuan nodded, tested her, and saw that she did have a lot of strength, so he carried the wild boar home with her.
Unexpectedly, a person who used to be so delicate and weak that he couldn't even unscrew the cap of a bottle for drinking water can now carry a wild boar of a hundred pounds without much effort.
It's only been a long time, and she has instantly entered this role, perhaps, because of him, looking at this similar face, Liu Man'er stood.
After a while, he returned to the village, Liu Man'er's family originally lived on the side of the mountain, which was quite remote, and everyone went to work again in the afternoon, so not many people knew.
But despite this, it was still seen by some people who were working behind the mountain, and they were envious and jealous in their eyes, and they praised Ye Yuan's good luck, presumably tomorrow, there will be a lot of hunters in the back mountain.
When she got home, Liu Man'er heard a cry, Ye He was sitting in the corridor, her little hand gently patting the child, and Liu Fusheng on the side was also coaxing, obviously they were still a child, but they were already going to take another child.
Seeing that the door was pushed open, Ye He raised his head, and when he saw that it was his eldest brother, his eyes lit up instantly.
And Liu Fusheng is a little timid there, although he is young, but unlike Liu Man'er's stupidity, he is very smart, knowing that he is just married with his sister, he is just an outsider, a little boy bought by the Ye family.
