The old lady hurriedly put the clay pot on the stove, took out the grain bag inside and was about to return it to Qianyan, "The girl can't help it, the family has enough food, we don't know how to thank you, a meal should be shared, how can you let the girl produce her own food." ”

Qian Yan took a few steps back and said with a smile: "I bought it when I came here today, but I didn't expect it to rain heavily, you see that this bag is wet, and it can't be kept for a few days, so it's better to make it now." ”

Although this bag of grain was just taken out by Ugly Chou, the basket has been hanging under the car, so the basket was indeed wet from the rain before, so now this bag is really stained with a lot of water.

In fact, it's just the bag that gets wet, and it doesn't seep into it, as long as you change the bag, it's fine, and Qian Yan is just looking for an excuse.

Because of Qian Yan's insistence, the old lady couldn't refuse, but she didn't want the rabbit to say anything, "We will be ashamed to receive this food, you can keep this rabbit for yourself, Keqin often goes to the mountains to hunt, and there are a lot of dried wild things in the kitchen, let's just eat that." ”

Qian Yan shook her head directly, "I don't necessarily have to stay with you for a day or two, isn't this rabbit stinky, and you can let it dry it, this is not good."

This is on the way here, caught in the field by the roadside, and then catch the fresh ones, if you feel that you don't want to go, let Brother Keqin teach me how to tann leather.

We often catch some prey, even if we don't know how to tann the skin, we just throw it away, which is too wasteful. ”

Actually, no, the skins that I beat before, when I was with the people in Yang Jiaping, they were all simply tanned by Yang Erzhuang with grass and wood ash and sewn together, and I slept on the mattress when I slept in the open at night.

The prey that Ugly secretly collected was not wasted, it was all piled up in its space, but it really couldn't be used without tanning.

When the old lady saw her say this, she looked at her son.

Yin Keqin didn't know when he also stood at the door of the kitchen house, and without saying a word, he answered it, took the rabbit from her hand, and said to Qian Yan as he walked out: "Nitrate leather is actually quite troublesome, but there are easy ways."

I can tell you the steps now, Miss Hengyue is smart, I tell you that you can learn it, let's get it in the yard. ”

Tilt Yan nodded and followed him out of the kitchen.

The old lady put the food aside first, and boiled hot water for her son to clean up the rabbit, and the rabbit had to eat for a while, otherwise the meat would not be soft.

What she took out was flour, and when the rabbit was stewed, she could make flatbread in another pot.

Qian Yan followed Yin Keqin to the courtyard and admired him for skillfully peeling off the skin.

She can also peel rabbit skins, which she learned from Yang Erzhuang before, but she is not so proficient, and the skin she peels is not very complete.

Later, when I ate rabbits and pheasants, I made them all ugly and ugly and then made them for her, and they were very clean.

There is a difference between occasional hunting and those who make a living exclusively from hunting, and there is really a difference between professional and amateur people.

Dumpling memorized all the steps he had taken to peel the skin, and then listened to him talk about the simplest way to tann the skin.

is similar to Yang Erzhuang's method, which is to soak it in plant ash after cleaning it up, and then let it dry.

After the rabbit was cleaned up, Yin Keqin carried it into the kitchen room, and then there was a sound of dangdang, it should be that he was chopping the rabbit.

Qian Yan sat on a small bench in the courtyard, and as soon as she sat down at the courtyard gate, someone came in.

As soon as Qian Yan wanted to call Yin Keqin to come as a guest, the other party came towards her, and shouted in her mouth: "Oops! Girl, I was patronizing and fleeing for my life before, but I didn't thank the girl for saving her life, so I came over after a little relief.

There are no good things in our poor and remote areas, this is a little bit of my family's heart, and I hope the girl will not dislike it. ”

Immediately afterwards, there was an extra basket in Qian Yan's arms, and there was a neat stack of coarse cloth in it, which should have been spun by herself.

She hurriedly pushed back, "This can't be helped, this can't be helped, I am saving myself, but I don't have any kindness to you." ”

The two were saying goodbye to each other, and a few more people came to the courtyard gate, and then a dozen more came one after another, all holding things in their hands, including eggs, a chicken, and some dry goods from the mountains, anyway, there were all kinds of things.

When the old lady heard the voice, she also came out of the kitchen house, and when she saw the expression of asking for help on her face, not only did she not help her refuse the thank you gifts of these villagers, but persuaded her to accept these wishes.

In the end, those people simply threw down their things and ran away, and the old lady went back to the kitchen to continue cooking, and she looked at the things on the ground and smiled bitterly.

She sent a message to the ugly ugly: "This is the first time I feel that others are too enthusiastic and scary, what should I do with these things?" If you accept it, it's too embarrassing. ”

Ugly: "Take it, we saved them in the first place, otherwise they would all die there, you don't have to feel weak at all." ”

Qian Yan sighed, "It's easy for you to say, how can I put so many things?" The wagons will be stuffed. ”

Ugly Ugly couldn't help but roll his eyes, "You have eaten those who have eaten them in the past two days, and then return those baskets, and in the end there will be nothing left." ”

"Okay."

Qian Yan carried the grain, eggs, and chickens directly into the kitchen, and without waiting for the two to speak, she preemptively spoke: "I have to stay here for two days, let's eat these things, and I will keep the rest."

By the way, those baskets and baskets have to be taken back by my aunt, and I can't tell which one is which. ”

The old lady choked back before she could speak, shook her head and smiled and responded, fortunately they sent a lot of types, not many quantities, and three meals in the past two days should be able to be eaten.

The chicken was still alive, so she first buckled it under a bamboo basket and killed it again when she ate it.

There are a lot of eggs, so she directly scrambled an egg with green onions, which is a perfect match with flatbread.

Their family didn't raise chickens, they had raised them before, because they were close to the side of the mountain, they were always stolen by wild things that came down from the mountain at night, and then they were too lazy to raise them, anyway, their family was not short of meat to eat.

This dinner made Qian Yan eat a round belly, and she felt that these meals were even better than the food in the restaurant.

This dish is a home-cooked method, without any big ingredients, but it is very fragrant, which makes people want to eat it again, and they can't help but eat too much.

Especially the plate of scrambled eggs with green onions, served with crispy flatbread freshly baked, not to mention how delicious.

This kind of home-cooked meal is incomparable to the taste in the restaurant, of course, the premise is that the person who cooks must be good at cooking.

Obviously, the old lady's cooking skills are very good, she thought the radish stewed cabbage in the fantasy world was delicious, and thought it was beautified by her own imagination, but she didn't expect the old lady's cooking skills to be better in reality.

After dinner, it was not dark yet, the old lady and Yin Keqin were not in a hurry to leave this time, and the three of them sat in the hall and chatted.

She asked them, "What are your plans for the future?" The ancestors in the sacrificial land have disappeared, will you leave here or stay in the village to continue your life? ”

She asked because she knew they wanted to get out of here.

The old lady and Yin Keqin glanced at each other, thought for a while and then spoke: "I wanted to leave because of Keqin's sister and brother, I was afraid that they would be chosen to be sacrificed alive, who knows that they still didn't escape death later."

Now we are the two of us, it doesn't really matter where we are in the future, we have been everywhere, and we are familiar with it in the village.

The only thought now is to take back the bones of his father and elder sister and bury them in the ancestral grave, and stop being a lonely ghost, but I don't know if we can be so far away from the village, if we are gone, there will be no one to go to the grave in the future. ”

Because Yin Keqin's father and elder sister escaped, they were not allowed to be buried back in the ancestral grave, and because the place where they died was too far away, they couldn't transport the bones back, so they were buried directly in the nearby mountains.

The two of them didn't even have a chance to take a look, because they were far away from the village, and even the two of them died outside in the end, so the whole family would be ruined.

The death of the father and son was reported by the government, and they gave the official some money and asked them to help bury it there.

Fortunately, the official probably also knew some unusual things about Qi Nian Village, but he didn't refuse, and even made a special trip to tell them the approximate location after the burial.

They all wrote it down, and every year when it was time to squeeze it, they would recall that location, thinking that if they could go out there one day, they could move them back or go and worship them.

Qian Yan nodded, "Don't worry, there will be no obstacle for you to go out in the future, as soon as Yin Jin disappears, the formation here will also be destroyed together."

The reason why you couldn't leave here too far before, was not because of the curse or the formation, but because your ancestors had a contract with Yin Jin.

Now that the owner of the contract has disappeared, the contract has disappeared with it, and I was taken to a living sacrifice by the illusion before, and I coincidentally knew the reason. ”

In fact, she and Chouchou had studied the contract, if their ancestors were still there, they would die together as soon as Yin Jin died, fortunately, after so many generations, the power of the contract was not so powerful, but it was still able to trap the range they left.

Before, they couldn't be too far away from Yin Jin, which was actually terrifying, but now they are completely free, even if Yin Jin is not dead, but he was received into the space by Ugly, which is equivalent to being cut off from this world, no different from death.

When the mother and son heard this, a heartfelt smile appeared on their faces.

After more than ten years, they can finally go to worship the husband/father, son/brother, daughter/sister.

Now that the village is free of the patriarch and the elders, they should be able to move their bones back.

The rest of these villagers are all people who share their illness, and they should not object, and some of them have fled from the village of Qinian at home, otherwise everyone would not say that as long as they stay away from the village, they will die outside.

Therefore, if you go and tell those people the good news, then everyone can go out together and bring back all the people who have died in a foreign land.

It just so happened that the patriarch's branch was dead, and they had an ox cart at home, so it should be no problem to use it at that time, and when the time came, they could buy a coffin in the town, pick up the bones and pull them back into the coffin, and bury them in the ancestral grave in the back mountain.

The three of them chatted for a while, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Qian Yan still went to the room in the illusion before, and then she knew that this house belonged to the old lady's daughter, and it had been kept for more than ten years, and the old lady really loved that daughter.

Let the ugly chou take out the basin and water and wash it briefly, take off the jacket outside, and lie down in the quilt with a single coat.

As soon as I lay down in the bed, I was frozen by the cool air in the nest, the temperature was a little low this night, and I don't know if it was because of the heavy rain before, it felt much colder than yesterday in the inn.

Qian Yan misses the feeling of sleeping with the little leopard and the ugly ugly, the two of them are the same as the small stove, and the little leopard is sleeping next to her, and she is suddenly gone, she is really a little unaccustomed.

"Ugly, it's okay to have money, right? How is it now? How long does it take to come out? ”

Ugly replied: "Not in a short period of time, at least it will take ten days and half a month, and you have to slowly fuse that drop of essence blood, don't worry, there will be no accident with me to protect it."

But you have to be mentally prepared that it may change a little after it comes out, and it shouldn't look too much like before. ”

Qian Yan wondered: "Could it be that after fusing the essence blood, can you still become that poor strange appearance?" Wouldn't it grow wings and become like a tiger?

No, it's a leopard, how can a leopard become a tiger? It's two species. ”

Ugly shrugged: "I can't say for sure, there will definitely be changes anyway, as for what it will become, it's hard to say."

But if it does become winged, then it will be even more difficult to appear in front of people, and I am afraid that most of the time I will have to stay in my space, or hide in the carriage. ”

For a while, Qian Yan didn't know whether to be happy for the little leopard, or to feel bad for it, and it might be difficult to hide in the ugly space in the future.

Of course, it is also possible to become like a normal beast, as long as it does not become strange, and then you can only hide in the shadows.

Thinking that Chou Chou said that living creatures could enter the space before, and he couldn't sleep now anyway, he said to it: "Then can I go into your space now to have a look?" I can't sleep anyway, so I'll go to your space for a walk. ”

Ugly nodded, "Of course you can, but you'd better be prepared, my space is different from Xiangxiang's space." ”

Tilt Yan raised her eyebrows, what does this mean?

Then I felt that as soon as I saw a flower, I appeared in a black hole.

When I was in the house before, there was moonlight coming in through the window, and I could still see something vaguely, but now I really can't see my fingers.
