"I'm a good girl, such a big hare? They're all pigs! ”

"This thing runs faster than a ghost, and wolves can't catch up with it! Could it be true that a rabbit hit a tree and was picked up by Qin Zhen? ”

The old village chief wiped his eyes, and thought he had seen it wrong: "Zhen'er, where did you pick up these rabbits?" ”

"What picked it up? I hit! Qin Zhen said proudly.

"You hit it?" Chen Shu, who had not spoken, asked, "How did you fight?" ”

He used to run in the woods, and he knew the rabbit's cleverness, especially his ears, which could hear the sound of the bowstring pulling! Every time he just pulled the strings, the rabbit ran away without a trace, and even he had a hard time catching the rabbit.

Qin Zhen is just a doll, can he have this ability?

Qin Zhen raised the wooden crossbow in his hand: "Use it." ”

"You're not hurt, are you?" Liu Juan groped around Qin Zhen with concern, afraid that Qin Zhen would hurt him.

"Sister-in-law, it's okay! Didn't someone come to collect wild skins the other day? It's worth a lot of money! I've already figured out that I can pay my taxes by hunting a few more prey in the next few days and exchanging them for money! ”

In this way, Liu Juan does not have to be arrested.

Hearing that Qin Zhen entered the forest for himself, Liu Juan's tears of emotion fell again.

Since she was a child, she has hardly felt warmth, let alone been cared for.

"Silly boy."

She smiled at Qin Zhen and couldn't help but want to cry.

"Can this thing really hit its prey?" The old village chief was dumbfounded.

Chen Shu asked, "Qin boy, can you show me that thing in your hand?" ”

"No! This is my dinner guy! I'm still counting on using this thing to take my sister-in-law to a good life! Qin Zhen hurriedly put away the wooden crossbow.

It took him a long time to get this crossbow, but he couldn't be robbed!

Seeing that Qin Zhen had returned safely, the people in the village also dispersed.

Qin Zhen carried the rabbit back to the house with Liu Juan.

"Hey, one male and two female!"

"Can you still tell the difference between the male and female rabbits?" Liu Juan said curiously.

"The male rabbit's feet are fluttering, and the female rabbit's eyes are blurred." Qin Zhen said with a smile, and then sighed again: "It would be nice if it could be raised, this thing reproduces very quickly, and it can give birth to a baby in three months, if it can be raised and let them give birth, we will not have to worry about eating and drinking." ”

Farming is an investment.

You need to invest in the cost first.

Take rabbits as an example, raising rabbits requires a space, they need to be fed, and even their physical health needs to be checked at all times. And now, Qin Zhen doesn't even have enough wild vegetables to eat, how can he have spare energy to raise rabbits?

Breeding can be carried out, but the premise is that people have to eat themselves first.

"What are we going to do with this rabbit?" Liu Juan asked.

Usually she is in charge of this family, but after today's incident, she has already treated Qin Zhen as a little adult and began to interrogate his opinion.

"Kill the skinning."

"Killed?" Liu Juan looked a little at a loss, she looked down at the rabbit: "How to kill?" ”

"I'm coming!"

Qin Zhen ran into the house and took a knife.

It's not so much a knife as a sharpened stone.

Iron tools are not available in ordinary people's homes, and only the lintels of the mansions of high-ranking officials and nobles can be used.

Ordinary people at the bottom like Qin Zhen can only use stones.

Qin Zhen had been a soldier for a few years before he crossed over, and he had been a cook for a few years, so he was quite familiar.

He lifted the rabbit's ears and pointed them to his neck.

Blood poured out.

Then he took a straw rope, tied the rabbit's feet, hung upside down on a stake, and waited for the blood to drain, and then he could skin it.

"Sister-in-law, get a basin!"

Liu Juan, who was stunned on the side, heard this, and hurriedly ran into the house and brought out a wooden basin.

Speaking of which, this wooden basin was made by Qin Zhen himself.

Taking the wooden basin, Qin Zhen put it under the rabbit.

"What are you doing here?" Liu Juan said curiously.

"This blood is a good thing, the blood of rabbits is the most disgusting, when the time comes, take a few rotten fish and mash them together into mud, you can turn them into bait to make a nest." Qin Zhen said with a smile: "When the time comes, I will also catch a few live fish for my sister-in-law to eat!" ”

"How do you know?" Liu Juan hesitated a little, how could Qin Zhen know so much?

"My brother taught me." Qin Zhen said casually: "Don't look at me when I was young, I remember everything my brother said." ”

When it came to her deceased brother, Liu Juan was a little silent for a while, after many years, she couldn't remember Qin Zhen's appearance.

"What did your brother say?"

Under the moonlight, Qin Zhen's eyes were very sincere.

"My brother said to take good care of my sister-in-law."

"You're still a kid, so you don't know who's going to take care of whom!" Liu Juan snorted, reached out and touched Qin Zhen's head, and said gently: "It's late at night, let's go into the house." ”

"Hey!" Qin Zhen smiled stupidly.

Like the vast majority of the poor in this world, there are leaky houses on all sides and charred black kangs.

The futon was spread along the mound, and this was the only bed in Qin Zhen's house.

Extinguished the candle flame and lay on the bed, but Qin Zhen couldn't sleep.

I saw Liu Juan sitting at the head of the bed and counting the only copper plates in the house over and over again, as if counting, the money to pay taxes was enough.

He remembered that every winter, it was very cold, and he and his sister-in-law were shivering from the cold, so they could only hug each other to keep warm, gritting their teeth and stiffening.

He thought of the rabbit's leather, a piece of copper plate was worth seven or eight copper plates, to say the least, so that he only needed to hit more than a hundred rabbits to make up enough for the ten taels of silver.

But in the mountains and forests, are there so many rabbits?

Besides, this year's tax money has been paid, what about next year?

It was autumn, and the night was a little cold, and Qin Zhen felt a little cold.

At that moment, a pair of familiar arms came up from behind and hugged him as usual.

The blazing temperature and gentle snort made the boy throb a little for a while.

Brother to brother is not uncommon in this world, especially for poor families, it abounds.

"Sister-in-law, I want to marry you."

Qin Zhen said softly.

I am afraid that I will wake up Liu Juan, and I am afraid that Liu Juan will not hear it accurately.

He seemed to be asleep, and there was no sound behind him.

But Qin Zhen's heart was firmer than any time.

He doesn't want to change the world, and he can't do it.

Playing everyone equal in the feudal dynasty is! Before the wisdom of the people is opened, the feudal wheels are rolling in enough to crush any force into powder!

There is a saying about it.

If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will be good alone.

He has no great ambitions, he just hopes that he and his family can live a better life, at least he doesn't need to worry about food and clothing, and he doesn't need to worry about taxes. At most, I will shelter the fathers and villagers of the small fishing village.

As for the rest, he didn't care.

Early the next morning.

Liu Juan's cheeks were slightly red, and her bedding was soaked with sweat.

She had a dream.

I dreamed that I was married to Qin Zhen.

"It's crazy!"

She touched her hot face, glad that Qin Zhen had already left.

"I'm so old, how can I harm a child? I...... But his sister-in-law! ”
