Chapter 885: Famine, Natural Disasters 42
Mingyi and Mingli brothers and sisters went to the meadow, one guarded the meat to dry, and the other ran to collect wild vegetables and water.
The cooked meat was clean, and it was basically dry after a sun; At least it tastes dry, Mingyi feels that there is less taste, but Mingli thinks it is delicious.
"Sister, you don't need to continue to dry the meat, it's just right to eat at this time."
"Two more suns, lest it become moldy." Mingyi insisted, Mingli stopped talking, and it would be good to bask in the sun for two more days.
However, it has been sunburned to such an extent that the meat must be put away at night; If you dye the morning dew, it will regain moisture, and it will not taste good, and it is easy to mold in the later stage.
After that, he basked in the sun for two days in succession, and put it here in a cloth bag at night; The next day, he came to dry, and after drying, he called Cheng Yuanxi to divide it into several trips, and transported it back to hide it by the wild vegetables.
Mingyi and Mingli hid a small packet of one person, and when the rest of the jerky was loaded, Mingyi crossed part of it into the space, anyway, the meat would shrink after drying, and a small part could not be seen.
She and her brother would eat some from time to time, but his brother didn't pay attention so much, but gave her a chance to act.
And the big bag she took back was hidden by Chen Daya into the burden of clothes, and later, she found the oilcloth that had been hidden all along, and divided the cloth bag with dried meat into several parts and wrapped it; With the oilcloth stored separately, it can prevent moisture regain to the greatest extent, and there is no need to worry about mold in a short time.
got such a big piece of jerky, but Chen Daya didn't ask a pair of children, but only pulled Cheng Yuanxi to interrogate.
"Tell me, where do you use so much meat?"
Cheng Yuanxi reluctantly pulled her to lower her voice, and the two muttered in the wooden shed, "It's none of my business here, it's our family Mingli and Yiyi who beat three big cats, and it's not good to bring the meat back; I put it outside and boiled it to dry it and then brought it back, and I peeled the skin and cut the meat, and the rest had nothing to do with me. ”
"Can they hit big?!" Chen Daya frowned, her face sank, "You coax me to play." ”
"I really didn't coax you, it was our two children who beat you; As for how they fought, don't ask more, they got a chance in this mountain, and they will take whatever they give you in the future, don't ask more. Cheng Yuanxi solemnly advised.
Chen Daya couldn't believe that her son and daughter could fight big cats.
"Okay, don't think about it, the two of them are measured."
"No, what chance do they have to fight the big cat, I have to ask." After all, Chen Daya still didn't believe what her husband said.
Cheng Yuanxi hurriedly grabbed people to appease, "Okay, okay, my son and daughter are slowly growing up and have their own ideas; As long as we are parents, we can watch them, as long as they are not in danger, we don't care. ”
"But." The meat that fell from her, how could it not be worried.
Chen Daya's worry Cheng Yuanxi understands that he is also worried, but he will not let this worry lose his heart and lose his sense of proportion; It was obvious that there were secrets between the children and that he didn't want to tell them, so he didn't ask.
"They are filial and sensible, and they have the ability to survive, let them develop." The wife is also afraid that her children will alienate her, he has had such an idea before, but after he figured it out, he didn't have such an uncomfortable idea, "In the future, I will accompany you, and they will let them play if they want to play, as long as they know that they will come back every night." ”
Chen Daya looked at the handsome face who was close to her father-in-law, and couldn't help but have a little nostalgia in her eyes, and looked at him for a long time before she spoke.
"I listen to you, let them go if they want, we don't ask much; But I want to know whether they really have the ability to protect themselves, at least how they can protect themselves, and then I have the bottom of my heart. ”
"Okay, I'll call them in, and we'll ask together." Cheng Yuanxi got up and walked out of the wooden shed, looking at the children who were playing happily by the water, "Mingli, come here." ”
"Daddy."
"Daddy."
The brother and sister trotted in.
Cheng Yuanxi squatted down and stared at the eyes of the two of them seriously, "Enter the wooden shed, your mother has something to ask you." ”
The brother and sister looked at each other and roughly guessed what they wanted to ask; They didn't plan to hide it to the end, they just needed a moment.
Walking into the wooden shed, Cheng Yuanxi sat beside Chen Daya.
Chen Daya looked at a pair of children and said solemnly, "Mingli, Mingyi, how did you kill the big cat?" ”
"Mother, I didn't kill it, my sister killed it." After Cheng Mingli finished speaking, he ushered in a disgusted look from his mother; Cheng Mingli actually understood in seconds, and his mother was disgusted that he was useless.
Cheng Mingli silently shut up and raised his eyes to look at his father.
Cheng Yuanxi spread his hands, in order to comfort the lady, he lied; Who knew that his son had nothing to do, and he would reveal it as soon as he came, or he revealed it himself.
It can only be said that stupid.
"Mother, father, I know what you want to ask." Mingyi opened his mouth generously, but hid some details, "The cave where I live now was discovered by my brother and I first, and you two should know." ”
"Yes." Chen Daya nodded and motioned for her to continue.
Cheng Yuanxi suddenly realized, could it be that he got a great opportunity in the cave?
Mingyi said: "We met a master in the cave, he should have come back to see; As a result, when he saw me and my brother, they thought that I was talented and a martial arts prodigy, so they taught me my body. My brother also learned, but my brother was by the way. ”
"What kind of master, where are the people?" None of them had ever seen each other.
Mingyi picked up a palm-sized stone, and with a movement of internal force, the stone turned into soot.
Cheng Yuanxi and Chen Daya were dumbfounded.
Cheng Mingli buried his head and couldn't help laughing, his sister's appearance of fooling people was quite interesting; The martial arts cheats are not suitable for taking out, and they don't plan to let the entire Cheng family practice martial arts.
It doesn't matter if there is a master's origin, the martial arts secrets will not be exposed.
"Good fellows! Good daughter, you are also a martial arts master now! Cheng Yuanxi exclaimed again and again, "Come on, come on, let my father see how I am afraid that the good girl is a martial arts master, how long has I known your master to have this ability, it seems that your master is really a martial arts master." ”
Mingyi nodded proudly, "Master uses a good medicinal herb for me to regulate my body, and the medicinal herbs can increase my internal strength; That's why it's so powerful. ”
"Good, good, good girl is really angry." Cheng Yuanxi is fully convinced at this time.
Chen Daya had a little more smile in her eyes, her daughter has this ability to protect herself, she really doesn't worry about the danger in the mountains and forests.
"No wonder you can kill a big cat, it's really powerful." After speaking, Chen Daya turned her gaze to her son, "Mingli, what about you?" ”
Cheng Mingli smiled and sneered, "Mother, I just learned, and I am not as talented as my sister." ”
"Then follow your sister, Yiyi is young, you are a brother to protect her." Force is worth not counting, but the brain can still count on it.
"Understand, I'll protect her and won't let people get bad ideas on her."
For the rest of his life, Cheng Mingli has been practicing this sentence.
