Chapter 8: Liu's Suspicions
Jingyi arranged for her mother to walk out of the cave, picked up the dry branches when she saw them, and quickly picked them up. Then she was sent back to the cave. At night, when she lit a fire, she had to pick up some branches.
Jing Yi also saw precious herbs. Now she can't pick herbs with her, but she can take herb seeds with her.
Jingyi now had time, and her mother was not there, so she urged the ability to leave the seeds of herbs. Maybe you can use it later.
Jingyi also found wild leeks and wild celery. She picks some wild leeks and wild celery, and then uses her ability to make them bloom and seed quickly, leaving them behind. Later, when you settle down, you can grow these two kinds of vegetables, and you can eat them as vegetables.
Before, Jing Yi only cared about running for her life, and Jing Yi didn't have the heart to take care of these, but now that they are not in danger of being chased and killed, she is also in the mood to collect these things.
Jing Yi knew from the memory of the original owner that there were not many types of vegetables in this era, and in addition to planting some vegetables by themselves, the countrymen would also find wild vegetables to eat. A lot of wild vegetables can be eaten.
Moreover, some wild vegetables can become vegetables that people often eat every day by planting. Just like this wild leek and wild celery, it was almost the same as the leeks and celery she had eaten in her previous life.
She'd also sensed them with her abilities, and they weren't poisonous and completely edible.
With this thought, Jingyi is not in a hurry, maybe she can find more things in this mountain.
Jing Yi collected the seeds of herbs and wild vegetables, and returned to the cave with firewood.
When she sent the branches back for the third time, Liu stood up, "Yiyi, I'll go with you to pick up the branches, and the two of you will be faster." ”
Jing Yi wanted to go farther, and she didn't feel at ease when she left her mother alone in the cave, "Then you can come with me." Let's find out if there is a water source nearby, and fetch some water for cooking. ”
Along the way, Jingyi also discovered that her ability can communicate with plants simply, and she can get some information through some plants. She used her ability to communicate with plants to know the location of a nearby water source, and then took her mother in the direction of the water source. They picked up branches as they walked.
Suddenly, Jingyi saw a pheasant, she was very happy, and now the dinner has been settled. Jing Yi let the vines entangle the pheasant's feet, and then directly shot arrows with a bow, and the pheasant became their prey.
She grabbed the pheasant and smiled, "Mother, we have pheasant meat to eat tonight." ”
Liu was also very happy, "This pheasant is so fat, it has to be several catties." You brought a small iron pot, we can stew chicken, or make chicken porridge to eat. ”
The two men put together a pile of firewood and put it on the ground, and when they returned, they took it back to the cave.
After a while, the mother and daughter seemed to hear the sound of the water, and Jing Yi knew that there was a stream not far in front of them, and if there was water, they could directly clean up the pheasant.
Soon they came to the creek. The creek is supposed to be formed by mountain spring water, and the water is very clear.
Jing Yi was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a wild fruit tree next to the stream, which seemed to be wild peaches, "Mother, these wild peaches are ripe, let's just pick some and eat them." ”
Jing Yi picked a bag of red wild peaches in better condition, and washed them by the stream by the way.
Tomorrow she is going to pick some more and take it with her on the road, which will be regarded as a vitamin supplement.
Jingyi filled several water bladders and cleaned up the pheasants by the stream. You can go back and do it directly.
Mother and daughter returned to the cave with firewood and pheasants. Jingyi let her mother rest, and she made dinner.
How can it be difficult to survive in the wild to defeat a top agent? Jing Yi quickly set up a makeshift stove with stones, put a small iron pot on it, and then lit a fire. She used the sharpened iron dagger to unload the pheasant into large pieces, and boiled it in a pot.
She had prepared some spices that came in handy now, and the fragrance came out soon after putting the spices.
This pheasant was tender and simmered for less than an hour before it was very soft and rotten. Jing Yi tasted it, and it tasted very good.
Jing Yi gave her mother a bowl of chicken soup and a few pieces of chicken, "Mother, I tasted it, the chicken is very delicious, you can eat more." This pheasant is nutritious, and you are nourishing to your body. ”
The Liu family has been hungry for a long time, and now there is such a delicacy thanks to the ability of his daughter.
She took the bowl and took a sip of the chicken soup, "It's so fresh, thanks to your preparation." I couldn't imagine that you could drink such delicious chicken soup in this deep mountain range. Yiyi, you can eat it too. ”
A pheasant filled the mother and daughter with some chicken soup and a few pieces of chicken left. Jing Yi decided to make chicken porridge tomorrow morning.
It was already completely dark when Jing Yi and the others were eating, and Jing Yi also lit a fire. The cave was illuminated by the firelight.
Jing Yi said: "Mother, the two of us can't sleep together, one person has to be on duty all night." You go to bed first, and I'll wake you up in the middle of the night. ”
Liu said: "You are also tired for a day, I just rested and am not sleepy, I will be on duty first, you sleep first, and my mother will wake you up." ”
Jing Yi didn't shirk either, "Then I'll sleep first, and you can wake me up if there is any movement." ”
Then Jingyi lay down on the blanket, and Liu sat by the fire and watched the fire.
Because there is a fire at the mouth of the cave, the air in the cave is not very good, but it can only make do. Jing Yi soon fell asleep.
And Liu sat by the fire and watched his sleeping daughter lose his mind for a long time.
Jing Yi uses the wood-based ability to replenish her body's energy, and she can sleep for a while. So an hour later, Jingyi woke up.
She sat up and said, "Mother, I'm sleeping, I'll be on duty for the night, you can sleep." ”
Liu shook his head, "You haven't slept for a while, let's sleep a little longer." ”
Jing Yi stood up and stretched her waist and said, "I'm not sleepy, you go to sleep." ”
The Liu family didn't move for a long time, and Jing Yi looked at her mother strangely.
Liu raised his head and looked at Jing Yi and said, "Yiyi, who are you, are you my daughter?" ”
Jing Yi was stunned when she heard her mother's words, and then said with a smile: "Mother, what did you say?" I'm not your daughter, who am I? ”
Liu shook his head and said, "How can a mother not understand her daughter? My daughter is a little woman who has lived in the inner house since she was a child, and although she has learned martial arts with her brothers, she can't be as good as you.
You easily killed those men in black, and you didn't change your face after you killed them. This is not at all the reaction that an in-house woman should have. The guards who chased us in the Lu Guogong Mansion were also killed by you, right?
And you don't have to deal with things along the way, and you also have a strong ability to survive in the wild, which is by no means something that my daughter who has been living in the inner house can have. ”
Jing Yi didn't expect that the Liu family had already seen that something was wrong, but it took so long to ask the doubts in his heart.
Since Liu asked, she had to give Liu a reasonable explanation. But she didn't want the Liu family to be sad and sad, if the Liu family knew that her only daughter had also died, I was afraid that she would not be able to stand it and would have the idea of seeking death. So she had to find a reasonable explanation.
