Chapter 49: What Is the Underworld Like?
"Stay out of the way!"
Xie Zi'an's tone was a little serious: "It's too much, be careful of hurting."
Qi Lele hurriedly pulled Xie Sixian, who was about to move, to step back, and found a thick bamboo to wait.
There are a few pheasants that look really beautiful, with a green head top, a bright red crown on the cheeks, a purple-green neck, shiny and shiny feathers, horizontal stripes on the wings, and slender tail feathers with white horizontal stripes.
According to the law of natural birds that are male and ugly, these should be male pheasants.
Comparatively, although the others are also beautiful, they are much inferior, and the female pheasant has not run away.
The flock of pheasants flew over in fright, and a few flew along the way, and Xie Ziyan and Xie Ziwen chased after them and were out of breath.
Qi Lele looked at it for a while and found that these pheasants were not flying all the time, but flying and stopping, stopping and flying, so Xie Ziwen and Xie Zi'an could catch up with them.
Xie Zi'an stood motionless at first, holding the stick in his hand, and waited until a pheasant slid down not far from his side, and he swung the stick violently, and with a muffled bang, the pheasant fell to the ground.
This sound seemed to frighten the pheasants, and they immediately screamed and flew around, and it smelled like a chicken.
Xie Zi'an seemed to be eyeing another one, ready to chase it, Qi Lele shouted, "Catch the short tail! Don't look at it!"
Hearing this, Xie Zi settled down and quickly changed his target, although the pheasant flew high, it couldn't fly far, as long as he stared at one and chased it, he could always catch it.
No, Xie Ziyan on the other end also flew up and pounced on one: "I caught it!" Somebody help me!"
Qi Lele hurriedly ran over and helped him catch the pheasant under him, and the pheasant didn't know whether he was tired or stunned, and he didn't struggle much when he was carried by Qi Lele. She estimated that there should be a three-pound appearance, it seems that the food is too good and there are too few natural enemies to raise it so fat.
The pheasant was chased all the way, and at this time a few were caught, and finally realized that something was wrong, and began to flee for his life, and it was not long before he disappeared.
Xie Zi'an took a rope and tied all the pheasants, and there were as many as six.
Except for Xie Ziyan who caught one, he shot it down alone, and Qi Lele's eyes when he looked at him were instantly different.
When digging bamboo shoots before, Qi Lele could still comfort himself that this person was afraid that because he was greedy, he dug too many bamboo shoots and dug up his experience.
At this point, Qi Lele had to admit that he was really not a useless scholar who couldn't jump on his shoulders and couldn't lift his hands.
Not to mention anything else, just hitting a flying pheasant with a wooden stick, this kind of reaction and arm strength is not something ordinary people can have, looking at his relaxed appearance without panting, it is obvious that he has not exerted his full strength.
Sensing her gaze, Xie Zi'an raised his head and raised his eyebrows at her: "These, have you figured out how to eat them?"
Qi Lele: "......"
Foodies, they are all handsome for no more than three seconds!
But this is a pheasant, and her original world is a protected animal, so she can't eat it!
Qi Lele subconsciously rubbed his hands, several methods flashed through his mind, and after a while, he ordered, "Dig a few more bamboo shoots and we'll go back."
"Okay."
Xie Ziyan just gasped for breath, and said, "I just seem to have seen wild eggs, do you want to touch a few?"
Xie Zi'an said, "Go ahead, don't run too far."
Xie Ziyan answered, and pulled Xie Ziwen away again.
Qi Lele was idle, so he wandered around the neighborhood, trying to find a hidden bamboo shoot as well.
The bamboo shoots haven't been found yet, but she has found another good thing!
Isn't that the one with the dark brown cap and the white mesh skirt a bamboo sunflower? There are bamboo sunflowers in this forest!
Qi Lele immediately picked those few, ran to Xie Zi'an and asked, "Have you ever eaten this mushroom?"
Xie Zi'an glanced at it: "Can this be eaten?"
"Yes! It's delicious!"
"Not poisonous?"
Qi Lele
Shaking his head decisively, the bamboo sunflower is not more recognizable than other mushrooms: "This kind of umbrella skirt is not poisonous in snow-white, only the yellow one is poisonous."
"I've seen it a few times, and there's more to it in the depths of the bamboo forest."
Qi Lele's eyes lit up.
Xie Zi'an said, "Not today, let's ask Uncle Wang to come with me another day."
Qi Lele was not in a hurry: "Okay."
After Xie Zi'an finished digging the three bamboo shoots, Xie Ziyan and Xie Ziwen also came back, and really came back with two brown eggs.
"Only two found."
Qi Lele said casually, "It's not bad, it's not yet the breeding season."
Xie Sixian looked up and asked, "Sister-in-law, what is the breeding season?"
Qi Lele paused, subconsciously glanced at Xie Zi'an, and then said, "It is the season for animals to reproduce, usually in spring."
"Isn't it spring now?"
"But it's still cold, and when it's warmer, there will be more wild eggs."
Xie Sixian boasted: "Sister-in-law is amazing! Daddy didn't even teach us about the breeding season!".
Qi Lele was praised and said, "I also listened to what others said."
"Did you hear about it in the underworld?"
Qi Lele choked for a moment and nodded stiffly: "Yes."
Xie Sixian's eyes were shining: "What is it like there?"
"This ......"
Xie Zi'an glanced at her without a trace, with a little smile in his eyes.
"Alright, it's time to go back."
Xie Sixian was immediately diverted and happily ran over to pick up a bamboo shoot.
Qi Lele suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it was too guilty to fool a child, she had to think about it!
Stepping on the sunset, several people returned with a full load.
Before descending the mountain, Qi Lele stopped them, and put the sturdy pheasants in the bamboo baskets, which were covered with wild vegetables, until nothing could be seen from the outside.
Xie Ziyan was puzzled: "Sister-in-law, what is this for? Will it suffocate them?"
"Won't die." Qi Lele clapped his hands: "In order not to be seen! You have to know that there are so many pheasants in the mountains, don't they all come to catch them?"
"It's still my sister-in-law's thoughtfulness!"
On the way back, I met a lot of people who had returned from working in the fields: "Have you gone to the mountains to pick vegetables and dig bamboo shoots?"
Xie Zi'an smiled, "Yes."
"Dig so much?"
"I want to dry some bamboo shoots."
Everyone nodded, and it passed. I thought that this Xie family was really not bad for money, obviously I bought the land in the morning, and I still had time to go to the mountains to play in the afternoon, so I didn't need to catch the spring sowing.
Seeing that everyone was carrying farm tools, Qi Lele suddenly remembered a very critical question.
"Who will plant our fields?"
Xie Zi'an said, "Since you have bought a field, let's go to the tooth store and buy a few good hands to plant."
Qi Lele: "......"
Seeing Qi Lele's eyes, Xie Zi'an understood: "I'll copy the book when I go back!"
Qi Lele didn't want to pay attention to him, and fell into deep thought, this manpower is indeed a big problem!
In addition to manpower, there are also seeds, and if you want good seeds, I am afraid that you will have to spend a lot of silver to buy them, so that the money in your hand is really not enough to spend.
No, we have to think of some way to make money!
