Chapter Seventy-Five: Bamboo Rats
In the past half an hour, Xue Mingzhu didn't know how she survived, she felt that her legs were numb when she was sitting, and her face was a little uncomfortable, she was afraid that she would be turned into a big flower face.
Until the end, Li Yumei kept fighting, looking at this face, she immediately went to the room to get the bronze mirror.
The bronze mirror does not perfectly reflect the appearance of people, and it is a little crooked, barely able to see clearly.
They are used to this mirror, and they can see it in a blurry situation, Xue Mingzhu looked left and right, and exclaimed: "Is this me?" ”
Bright eyes and bright teeth, delicate, she was sixteen when she got married, twenty-one this year, thin figure, and her face is also considered superior in these ten miles and eight towns, and then she uses technology to make up for the defects, and she looks like a proper beauty.
Song quipped: "If it is seen by others, I don't know how many people ask to marry the third sister." ”
"Sister-in-law!" Xue Mingzhu's face turned even redder, and she was so ashamed that she buried her head down.
Zhang looked at it, tears rolled in her eyes, this is her daughter, she really hopes that next time Mingzhu marries, she can be so beautiful, for Li Yumei's idea, more and more supportive: "This is okay, then ask your sister-in-law to accompany you to practice more, it will definitely be able to melt well, don't be afraid to use up the rouge, I'll buy it for you." ”
With her mother speaking, and in front of the best examples, Li Yumei was full of confidence, and immediately pulled the cleaned girl and began to continue trying.
"Don't rush it, take your time, practice makes perfect." Ye Shu'er smiled beside her, no longer interfering, and occasionally gave Li Yumei advice.
Xue Lao Xue and Xue Lao Er saw that the women were working so hard, but they knew that there were many people on the mountain, and the two of them also made up their minds to catch some animals and come back, and they couldn't be compared to women.
The Song family didn't need to take the eldest girl, so they went back to their parents' house to see the cow cubs.
After finishing the big girl, Li Yumei picked her fingers in embarrassment: "Why is there such a big difference?" ”
Xue Mingzhu is so perfect that the eldest girl feels a lot worse.
Ye Shuer pointed out the mistakes one by one, and brought a small handkerchief, wiped it off and taught Li Yumei how to remedy it.
Xue Zhi'an went back to his room to study.
It's dark, Xue Boss Xue and Xue Er haven't come back yet, the meals are ready, Ye Shu'er and Xue Zhi'an are looking for it.
Not a few steps up the path of the back mountain, the sky is completely dark, this small section of the road is full of bamboo forests, it is already dark, and then the moonlight is blocked by bamboo leaves, and the head here is even darker than the five fingers.
Creak.
"What's the sound?" Ye Shu'er stopped and pricked up her ears to listen.
Xue Zhi'an looked around, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, this day is dry, the ghost story told by his mother seems to have become true, and there are hands and people behind him.
He hurriedly tugged on Ye Shu'er's hand sleeve: "Daughter-in-law, let's go back, it's too dark." ”
"Shhhh Ye Shu'er made a gesture and pulled Xue Zhi'an forward slowly, her voice was closer, she seemed to see something eating under her feet, and the next moment she lowered her hand and grabbed it without thinking about it.
"Squeak!"
The sound of struggling became even more fierce, Ye Shu'er used all her strength, and after her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she could also see a lump of meat in her hand.
"Daughter-in-law, it's about to lose it, it's a mouse, a big mouse," Xue Zhi'an hurriedly reached over, wanting to slap the thing out of Ye Shu'er's hand.
Ye Shu'er was faster, pinched the mouse's neck after dodging, found the joint of the neck, and as soon as her two hands were forced, she heard a click and stopped moving.
Xue Zhi'an was dumbfounded, staring at his daughter-in-law with his eyes, he felt a chill down his back, and the surroundings were gloomy.
"Zhi'an, don't be afraid, let's go home." Ye Shu'er wanted to wait for her home to explain again.
Several members of the Zhang family are embroidering, this is the financial source of the whole family, and no one can slack off, that is, Li Yumei is still drawing while holding the big girl, she is now the most interested, and she doesn't want to stop at all.
When the family saw Ye Shu'er coming in with a mouse, their faces changed.
"Shu'er, we're not here yet." Zhang's face was green, not to mention eating this thing, it was disgusting to imagine.
Li Yumei and Xue Mingzhu hugged the big girl and quickly retreated to the side, afraid of being touched.
It's like dirty, and the family avoids it.
Xue Zhi'an was silent, and followed from a distance.
Ye Shu'er lifted the mouse strangely, with a puzzled expression: "This is a bamboo rat, so you shouldn't understand, it's an animal that specializes in eating bamboo, it's not a mouse, it's just similar to a mouse, have you ever seen a mouse of more than a dozen catties?" ”
The Zhang family was skeptical, stretched their necks to see, it was indeed different, but the big rat, more than a dozen catties have not been seen, but a few catties have been seen.
Swallowing his saliva, Zhang's eyes were gone: "Forget Shu'er, we really can't get off the chopsticks to eat this, so we don't dare to eat." ”
Li Yumei and Xue Mingzhu nodded cooperatively.
The eldest girl also covered her eyes.
Ye Shu'er was suddenly happy, when she caught it, she still heard the sound of escaping in the bamboo forest, if no one eats, then this year's winter is saved, these bamboo rats are burrowing in the ground on weekdays, and they don't come out often, maybe they feel that people are not harmful, so they build nests on the slope of a hill not far from the village.
Several people were stunned by the laughter.
"It's delicious, I'll get it tomorrow morning." Ye Shu'er turned around: "Zhi'an, let's kill this first." ”
Xue Zhi'an obediently went to boil water, and after listening to his daughter-in-law, he was not afraid of bamboo rats as food, and when Shu'er wanted to do it, he went to help.
"Daughter-in-law, I'll come, you go and prepare hot water." He went out with a kitchen knife, and later in the evening he came in with a bowl in one hand, which was full of blood, and a mouse in the other.
Not long after he died, the blood had not yet clotted.
Ye Shu'er moved quickly, poured boiling water on the bamboo rat, soaked it for a few more minutes, tried it again, and was able to pluck it gently.
The two of them began to pull one left and one right.
Waiting to pluck it out, Ye Shuer burned the fur of the bamboo rat with the fire that was not extinguished, and when it was all done, she put the bamboo rat in the cupboard.
It was late, but the Zhang family hadn't slept yet, and they didn't expect to see Boss Xue and them come back.
"Let's go find it together." Zhang Shi found a torch, and his face was full of ravines, full of worry.
Li Yumei was even more uplifted, holding a torch to follow Zhang's.
Xue Mingzhu and Ye Shu'er, Xue Zhi'an followed.
The eldest girl takes the little treasure to take care of the house.
There was a lot of snow on the mountain, and a few people had already fallen several times before they reached the halfway point of the mountain.
The more Zhang walked, the more chilled he became, and shouted in fear: "Boss, second? ”
Li Yumei also raised her voice and called: "Second brother, big brother, where are you?" ”
I usually went home early at this time.
Ye Shu'er listened to the birds on the right chirping, and called Xue Zhi'an with a torch to go in that direction.
This is overgrown with weeds, it's not a road, and there is a road when you step on it.
Zhang and Li Yumei helped each other to keep up.
The sound of bird calls is always not far or close, and now in the middle of the night, the bird calls are startled, Ye Shu'er walked a hundred meters, and saw two people lying on the ground.
"Big brother and second brother!"
