Chapter 409: The Sound of Cicadas, the Singing of Frogs, and the Verdant Trees (5)
War epidemic demons, poverty demons, anti-piracy, support genuine reading.
The surrounding corn trees are thriving like soldiers, standing in the moonlight like water, gently swaying the leaves full of green, longing for the moisture of the night dew, making a rattling sound, and the glutinous fragrance of corn is exuding in the air.
In this transparent tent in the form of mosquito nets for the night in the wilderness, the couple's ears are punctuated by the sound of unknown bird calls and the sound of nameless insects flapping their wings as they fly.
In every gentle shaking of Miao Miao, Lulu wanted to open her eyes to see the face she loved so much in the dark, but her mind seemed to be pulled back into a chaotic blank, only intoxicated and sunk but unable to grasp the focus.
The couple felt the fresh and simple atmosphere of sleeping in the wild in nature, and the atmosphere was quiet and full of wildness.
The cool breeze, the smell of vanilla in the air, is quite a flavor under the strong rustic atmosphere of nature, there is no noise of the city, there is no hot and irritable air, there is just the breath of nature.
On this night, the couple hugged each other in the wilderness and slept soundly, until they heard the noise of peasant workers not far away, and Lulu slept in the man's arms until she woke up naturally.
Miao Miao saw that the pregnant woman Lulu slept soundly in the wild, so on a summer night without rain, in his orchard covering more than 1,000 acres of land, he changed the location from time to time to settle the location of the night.
In the open space where the winter wheat has been harvested, on the edge of the lush shelterbelt, under the apricot trees with dried apricots on the golden trees, in the deep and dense nursery base, among the red rows of fruit trees, and by the small river of the tributary of the Ningxi River adjacent to the orchard...... left traces of the sweetness of the two of them falling asleep together.
Lulu slept soundly in the quiet environment of nature every day, waking up in the morning to the chirping of birds, to the cooing of wild pigeons, to the screams of pheasants being chased by foxes, to the alarm of hares swishing by the tents, to the gurgling water, to the barking of panthers, and to the hearty laughter of farmers in the distance......
During the days of living in the orchard, under the careful care of Miao Miao's family, Lulu ate well, slept peacefully, and her thin body became plump day by day.
The three meals a day at home are made entirely according to her taste, and she has always been a picky eater.
Since she was pregnant, she has been bitter, she likes to eat spicy hot pot the most, and her mother-in-law is so happy that she says "sour and spicy girl", and Lulu must be a little daughter carved in pink.
The father-in-law, who has never been interested in hot pot for many years, saw that Lulu was hungry for hot pot every day, and the old man slaughtered the poultry first thing every morning, and urged his son to make hot pot for Lulu with different meats such as chickens, ducks and geese.
In less than ten days, Lulu tasted the hot pot made by the "royal chef" Miao Miao with chicken, duck, goose, beef, sheep and fish.
Seeing that Lulu was not tired of hot pot, her mother-in-law was so busy that she arranged for her wife and Miao Miao to let Lulu taste the hot pot made of various meats again.
Early in the morning, seeing my father holding an iron hook and preparing to go to the small orchard to catch chickens, Miao Miao asked casually: "Dad, I saw that there are a lot of wild rabbits scurrying around in our orchard this year, I don't know if I can catch them." ”
After listening to his son's words, his father's honest face was full of folds, and he smiled, "Stinky boy, fortunately you reminded me, pheasants, wild ducks, and hares can be seen everywhere in the orchard, why have I forgotten these little animals?" Wouldn't it be more fragrant for us to use wild things from the orchard to make hot pot? ”
Catching pheasants and pheasants requires not only skill, but also a lot of physical strength and patience.
For so many years, the family has not caught these wild things to eat, and Dad and Miao Miao don't know how to catch these wild things.
Dad thought that the farmer Kurbanjiang would come to the orchard every autumn to catch pheasants and wild ducks and go home to eat.
Under his father's arrangement, Kurbanjiang, who was quick with his hands and feet, caught two pheasants in just half a noon.
The red, yellow and purple wild roosters are particularly beautiful, and their feathers are much more dazzling and majestic than those of domestic roosters.
The wild hen has gray feathers, and looks like a huge sparrow, and is far less beautiful than the rooster.
Kurbanjiang left two pheasants at the kitchen door, he grinned and winked at Miao Miao, and mysteriously carefully took out a dozen cyan oval wild eggs from his jacket pocket.
Miao Miao held a wild egg half smaller than a domestic native egg in both hands, and happily invited: "Uncle Ku, Rehemaiti, let's eat hot pot at my house at noon." ”
Kurbanjiang smiled shyly and declined: "No, Rehemaiti, my wife made noodles at noon." Miao Miao, let's go catch hares in the evening, I found their nests in the spring of this year, you tell Lao Chen after work in the afternoon, he will catch hares in flax. ”
The hot pot at noon is a broth made of two pheasants, which is extremely delicious, and Lulu eats it with a red mouth.
Especially after boiling a dozen wild eggs in spicy soup for more than ten minutes, Lulu ate seven or eight wild eggs in a row, Miao Miao had never seen his wife have such a good appetite.
During this time, Lulu found that after coming to the orchard, her appetite was great, and she was not harmful, and she ate what she wanted, and the fresh vegetables in the vegetable field and the poultry raised in the house were quite delicious, and she ate three meals a day.
At night, Miao Miao settled Lulu, and when she saw her next to the pillow, she fell asleep, and then he walked out of the hut with a flashlight.
I followed four or five people, including Lao Chen, Kurbanjiang, and Xiao Lizi, who came to the orchard to catch wild rabbits, to the cornfield where they were interplanted in the landscape trees.
Each of them held a large pile of hay and dry firewood, under the arrangement and command of Uncle Chen, Miao Miao and Xiao Lizi respectively guarded the two holes, and began to light firewood, the open flame just lit, they each held a hole and desperately fanned the smoke towards the hole with a paper shell.
In order to let Lulu eat the hare hot pot, Miao Miao, who was choked by the smoke and shed tears, fanned the smoke at the entrance of the cave with a paper shell, and saw that the dry wood was about to burn out, he put down the paper shell in his hand and turned around to get the prepared hay and firewood.
Turning around, turning his head to see that the paper shell was led, and there was no tool to fan the smoke in his hand, Miao Miao's mind flashed, she took off the old man's shirt on her body, and fanned the smoke with her undershirt shirt.
The sweat on her body attracted a group of excited mosquitoes, flashing her wings and stopping on Miao Miao's upper body, Miao Miao, who was harassed by mosquitoes, scratched her ears and cheeks for a while and slapped the mosquitoes on her body, and then stopped fanning her hands, and was so busy that she was sweating profusely.
Lao Chen, Kurbanjiang and others are holding a wooden stick, one holding a urea bag, and one holding a long stick to set up a posture at the entrance of the other hole to "wait for the rabbit".
