Chapter 15: The Red Feather Pheasant

The sacred bird on the tree stands leisurely on the high branches, its feathers blown by the wind, and it has a sparkling beauty.

Jiang Luo was amazed for a while, now that there is a big drought, the grass and trees are withering, it is not easy for people to survive, and I can't imagine that this thing can still raise itself shiny and slippery.

Maybe it's a pet raised by a rich and noble family.

Xu An knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the position where the divine bird was. Seeing this, the other yacha also knelt down and prayed, and Mrs. Jiang knelt down with him.

Jiang Luo stood aside and watched the funny scene in front of him, except for Jiang Cheng and Jiang Ran, everyone knelt on the ground, chanting words in their mouths to ask for the blessing of the divine bird.

This so-called divine bird looks like it is full of twenty or thirty pounds, and it has the noble style of the legendary phoenix.

Jiang Luo asked the honeysuckle to scan and analyze it, and the honeysuckle told her that this was a red-feathered golden pheasant, a species that had long been extinct on the earth.

Honeysuckle gave a lot of professional data analysis, from the growth habits of the red-feathered golden pheasant, to the growth conditions and biological characteristics, Jiang Luo only heard...... Innocuity...... Edible ...... The meat is delicious......

"Brother~" Jiang Luo couldn't help swallowing his saliva, shouting Jiang Cheng on his lips, and his eyes kept falling on the tree.

Jiang Cheng stood on the high slope and looked down at everyone, "What kind of divine bird is this, isn't it just a good-looking chicken?" ”

Jiang Zhuangci was about to reprimand him, but he added, "There are still three or four days to go to Yangchuan, if you don't want to eat only baked sweet potatoes, you should still think of catching this chicken and improving the food for everyone." ”

Xu An looked at Jiang Cheng in disbelief, this kid was tired of it, and he actually said such disrespectful words in front of the divine bird.

"Are you looking for death?"

"Looking for what to die for? If this is really a sacred bird, why not run for my life when I hear that I want to eat it? ”

Jiang Luo was shocked, was the expression on her face that she wanted to eat meat so obvious? Her cheap brother can actually see through her mind.

She didn't care about it, and obediently handed over the pocket pistol and told Jiang Cheng how to use it. Jiang Cheng seems to have natural accuracy, and the first shot directly hit the neck of the red-feathered golden pheasant.

The golden pheasant fell from the branch.

Everyone was still kneeling on the ground and didn't have time to react, and the so-called divine bird lay on the ground and struggled for a while, and then swallowed its breath.

It seems that this divine bird is really famous, and he can't even bless himself, so how can he bless others.

Jiang Zhuangci patted the dust on his clothes and stood up.

Although Xu An's face was full of unhappiness, he was still full of anticipation when he thought that he would be able to eat meat in a while.

Jiang Liushi and Chen Xianyue carried the red-feathered golden pheasant to the water's edge, boiled water, plucked its feathers, and cleaned it.

I wanted to roast it directly on the fire, but it was too big to bake it.

So they cut it into several pieces, and the officials took the meat and threw it directly into a pot of boiling water, and cooked it to save trouble.

Jiang Liushi patiently roasted the brocade chicken on the fire.

Chen Xianyue was not idle, she cut two pieces of chicken the size of a palm, and wanted half of it to cook soup and half to roast and eat.

As night fell, several piles of firewood were boiling food in full swing.

Since leaving Linchuan, this was the first time they had eaten meat, and everyone's eyes were shining, and they couldn't wait to eat it in their mouths the next moment.

Jiang Luo took out some salt chili powder and barbecue ingredients, she distributed the salt to everyone, and told Chen Xianyue how to roast chicken.

Chen Xianyue followed the steps she said, first marinated the meat pieces, and then grilled them, and the meat was fragrant.

They had never seen such fine table salt, which was now comparable to gold.

Chen Xianyue's stone pot of stewed chicken soup was sprinkled with a little salt to taste, and the rich fragrance came to her nose.

The whole jungle exudes an alluring atmosphere.

Jiang Luo drank a bowl of chicken soup that Chen Xianyue served her, I have to say that Chen Xianyue is really an extremely smart person, she just said this recipe once, but Chen Xianyue remembered not a bad step.

When she was cooking against the recipe, the whole kitchen was almost the scene of an explosion.

Later, she always admitted that she had no talent in cooking, so she gave up this pursuit.

After eating and drinking, the remaining roast chicken is wrapped in linen cloth and placed close to the body, while each person carries about a dozen roasted sweet potatoes on their backs. These are the next dry foods, and they have to go to Yangchuan in one go.

After passing Yangchuan and walking north for about three months, we arrived at Lingbei.

Everyone rested for the night, and as soon as it was dawn, everyone drank a full stomach of water and began to hurry.

There is a river in the west of Yangchuan City, the river flows all year round, and the people in the city rely on this river to survive, even if they encounter a great drought weather, the crops have been harvested.

The more Zhou Yan and the others talked, the more excited they became, and when they arrived in Yangchuan, they must take a good rest, prepare more dry food when they left, and it was best to let the local yamen send some people to escort the Jiang family with them.

Three days later, there were still more than 50 miles away from Yangchuan City, and some pedestrians could be encountered on the road one after another.

Most of them were homeless, with sunken eyes, skinny bones, and tattered clothes.

There was an old man on crutches and a seven or eight-year-old boy on his back, and it seemed that the child only weighed a dozen pounds.

When they passed by Jiang Luo, the old man did not stand firm on his feet and fell on the side of the road. Jiang Luo didn't want to be troubled, or she didn't think that the people here had anything to be pitied.

Because she has no cultural identity, she is not even a resident of a planet, and she even feels that these tragic experiences are the inevitable process of historical development.

The old man struggled again and again and couldn't get up, and everyone watched indifferently. Jiang Luo's heart softened, but he couldn't help but turn around and help the person up.

The old man was hungry and weak, and he was weak to speak, so he thanked Jiang Luo again and again.

Jiang Luo sighed slightly, and handed the only remaining piece of meat and a few sweet potatoes to the old man.

The old man trembled and knelt on the ground, thanking her. He handed the meat to the boy on his back, and the boy devoured it.

After they slowed down for a while, the old man asked, "Are you going to Yangchuan City?" ”

"yes." Jiang Luo nodded.

"Girl." The old man's cloudy eyes were full of excitement, and he waved his hand again and again, "You guys...... You must not go. ”

"The Taishou of Yangchuan said that we homeless people are all Diao people, and we are not allowed to enter the city......"

"And the poor families in the city, those who can't eat, have been driven out."

"You all fled from a nearby state town?" Jiang He asked.

The old man nodded with tears in his eyes, "Yes, I can't live anymore." ”

"Don't go out, don't go to Yangchuan." He thanked Jiang Luo again, and his back was bent deeply.

The boy also got off his back and kowtowed to Jiang Luo and the others.

The old man was on crutches, led him, and left at sunset.

"Let's go! Strive to rush to Yangchuan overnight tonight. Zhou Yan reminded everyone.

The Taishou of Yangchuan is just driving away the people, so he won't even drive them away from the government officials, right?
