Chapter Twenty-Seven: Picking Up the Wild Geese
Chundi and Chunrao lit a fire, ready to fry some cabbage to eat, and the endless fragrance wafted from not far away, causing people to salivate.
Song He'er smiled and continued to ask Zhang Xiu'e, "It's enough to have an aunt to cook, so I don't have to make a mess on the side, third aunt, I think this piece of fabric is extremely beautiful, give it to me, I will do it!" ”
As she spoke, Song He'er took the fabric from Zhang Xiu'e's hand.
"This kid ......"
Qin Xiaoniang shook her head helplessly: "Let her go, this child has grown up, and I can't take care of it." “
Zhang Xiu'e didn't speak anymore and continued to bury herself in needlework.
It got dark quickly, and the light became weaker, so that everyone could see clearly, Qin Xiaoniang lit three candles, just waiting for these children's clothes to be blown out quickly, so as not to waste them.
Song He'er squatted under the tree alone, pretending to wear it with needle and thread, and when people were unprepared, she took out a few sets of clothes worn by the people in the general's mansion from the space, the style was simple, and the color was extremely similar to the fabric that Song He'er brought over.
After spending some time, Song He'er took her clothes and walked towards Qin Xiaoniang.
"Auntie, this is my sewn dress, what do you think?"
Qin Xiaoniang took the clothes in Song He'er's hand, looked at them for a long time, and asked with an incredulous face: "This dress, you really made it?" ”
"Yes, A-Niang doesn't believe it?"
"This ...... When did you learn to do this? ”
"You taught me when I was a kid. A-Niang, did you forget? Have you forgotten that when I was a kid, I was often forced to do needlework! ”
Qin Xiaoniang looked at her in disbelief, and before she could speak again, she was interrupted by Li Qiang's daughter-in-law beside her, "I see that this dress is well done, don't ask, Xiaoniang, your family He'er is smart and clever, making a few clothes is nothing." ”
Even though Qin Xiaoniang had a thousand doubts, all kinds of doubts, now that she heard Li Qiang's daughter-in-law say this, she had no choice but to stop asking.
Song He'er only took out four pieces of clothes, and after they were divided, there was one less Zhang Xiu'e and Su Yu's daughter-in-law, because Zhang Xiu'e had a wide body and needed to do it herself in order to fit together.
The big ones took their clothes, ate some more, and fell asleep.
The next day, just after eating a piece of sweet potato, everyone packed their bags and prepared to move on.
This road condition is really as Zhao Quan said, the more you walk, the more deserted it becomes, and you can't even see half of the people's houses.
The wind is blowing stronger, and it is obvious that if you don't go far, you can see the endless desert......
"Our clothes are all summer, if we encounter a strong wind in the desert, will we freeze to death?" Chundi suddenly asked worriedly.
Zhang Xiu'e never thought of this, she only knew that with a change of clothes, everyone was more comfortable, but she forgot about the alternation of the four seasons, which was about to enter autumn, and the more she walked, the colder it became, and without warm clothes, she was afraid that she would freeze to death on the road.
Song He'er smiled and replied, "Fourth aunt, you're a little worried, haven't we arrived in the desert yet?" As the saying goes, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there will be a solution when the time comes. ”
Zhang Xiu'e felt that what Song He'er said was reasonable, so she smiled and replied: "What He'er said is not wrong, there must be merchants in this desert who run camels, and if it is convenient for them, you can change some cotton clothes with them." ”
Chundi continued to ask, "Then what do we get in exchange?" This food will run out. ”
"Then save some food, the poor family is rich, and everyone will eat five points full when they eat in the future."
"Okay....."
The crowd walked for a long time, and soon it was noon, when the sun was at its most vicious, and the children were so hot that they could no longer walk, and only thought of resting under the tree.
In desperation, everyone chose a shady place to rest, because the water was limited, and they could not use water to cook porridge or corn in the future, so they could only rely on the fire to cook food.
"In this wilderness, there is not even a shadow of a bird, and there is no chance to find a wild thing to satisfy your hunger." Li Qiang's daughter-in-law complained on the side.
Qin Xiaoniang breathed a sigh of relief, "Good birds choose trees to perch, the environment in this place is harsh, there must be no living creatures, don't think about it, bake some sweet potatoes honestly and eat them!" ”
Sister Nian is very sensible, she doesn't cry or make trouble along the way, and she eats whatever adults eat.
"Fifth sister, I think sweet potatoes are delicious."
"Sister Nian, I'll take a look at the front in a while, in case there's a hare or something, let's catch it and roast it together."
As soon as Qin Xiaoniang heard this, Song He'er was going to act alone again, and her face immediately fell, "You are not allowed to run around anymore!" ”
"Auntie, I won't run around this time, I'll ask the fourth aunt and the fifth aunt to accompany me, right?"
"Everyone said to eat baked sweet potatoes, what kind of hare are you looking for, you are really not at ease when you go away......"
Song He'er knew what she meant, Qin Xiaoniang was just too cautious, people don't have any lazy heart, when they go out, a mother will always hang her heart in her throat.
Chundi saw Song He'er's thoughts, so she had to step forward to help speak, "Little lady, I'll accompany her, if I really find something, everyone can have a full meal, these grains, save a little is a little." ”
Qin Xiaoniang thought about it and had no choice but to agree, but before they left, she still told them not to go far.
Song He'er and Chundi came to the birch forest not far from their resting place, this forest was not as dense as the one they had encountered a few days ago, but it was also a good place to find wild things.
"He'er, there isn't much grass in this forest, can there be any living creatures?"
Song He'er looked around and said lightly, "As long as someone passes by, there must be!" Fourth aunt, why don't you even believe me? ”
Chundi smiled: "I just think you're too smart, this little girl is too smart, come up with a problem to make things difficult for you......."
Thump~
As soon as the words fell, there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground from a distance.
Song He'er was startled, and when she came to her senses, she looked slowly and found that an injured wild goose was falling to the ground and convulsing.
Chundi was a little surprised, and pulled Song He'er and walked over there.
"Huh~ Isn't this a wild goose flying in the sky? How did it fall? ”
Song He'er raised her head and looked in the direction it fell, and saw that on the birch branches above, there were many geese circling, as if they were fighting with each other, and they were all gathered together......
"Fourth aunt, I know, it must be this wild goose that injured its wings when it was fighting with its partners, you see, it is all bleeding~"
Song He'er was secretly glad in her heart, this wild goose was actually sent to the door by herself?
She also thought about taking advantage of people's inattention, and continued to take out something from the space to eat, but she didn't think about it!
