Chapter 61: Rounding Up Pheasants
Wen Sisi pinched one and put it in his mouth to taste it, his delicate eyebrows wrinkled, "It's still a little sour, but it's still edible." She said so, but she couldn't stop sending them into her mouth one by one.
Su Qingyun also tasted the taste of black fruits, sweet and sour, and the tip of the tongue secreted sour water crazily, but it was quite appetizing.
"Eat less of this wild fruit, be careful to have an upset stomach after a while." After eating a little, Su Congjun was not allowed to eat again.
Su Congwu looked at the more lush mountains and forests above and asked, "Do you still want to go up?" ”
"Let's go, it's still early, let's go up." Su Congjun couldn't bear to sweep away Wen Sisi's interest, they haven't reached the halfway point of the mountain now, they are safe, and it's okay to go any further.
The four of them continued to walk to the depths of Yunluo Mountain, gradually, there were fewer and fewer roads to walk, and they became more and more steep and difficult to walk, Su Congjun walked in the front, and pushed aside the branches and crazy weeds and thorns for the three of them, the tall and lush trees almost covered the daylight, without the sun's rays, it was a little cold, but because of climbing the mountain, several people did not feel cold at all, but sweat beads appeared on their heads.
"No, no, I'm tired." Wen Sisi was exhausted and panting, and she had exercised more today than she had in the previous month combined.
Su Qingyun was also a little out of breath, but she was still much better than Wen Sisi, after all, she had walked a lot in the past few months, and her body was much better now than when she first came.
As for the two Su Congjun brothers, they were even more like no one else, only breathing a little heavily.
Su Congjun looked around and found a large smooth stone, "Sit here and rest for a while, we can go down the mountain in about time." ”
"Okay."
The four of them sat side by side on the stones, the mountain breeze blowing, bringing coolness, looking down from here, Luoshui Village under the mountain has become extremely small, the houses are also like bricks, some people have smoked early, the orange sun is shrouded, and the green and yellow fields are like neatly divided lattices.
Looking at such a scene, Su Qingyun suddenly had a bright and open feeling, she closed her eyes slightly, and the mountain breeze was still blowing through the tips of her eyebrows, eyes and hair, like a gentle stroking hand, she showed a smile slightly, the smile was beautiful and pure.
This is not the afterlife she has been familiar with for more than 20 years, she still feels the breath of the same land in her breath, and the same moon she sees every night.
The mountains and rivers are exotic, and the wind and moon are the same day.
"Alright, it's almost time, let's go back." Su Congjun looked at the sky, and the sun had already moved westward.
"Let's go."
The four of them stood up, turned around, and prepared to return the way they came.
"Wait, don't move!" Su Congjun suddenly suppressed his voice and screamed, maintaining a turning posture and not moving.
"What's wrong, big brother?" Su Congwu was puzzled, and Wen Sisi and Su Qingyun also stood in place in confusion and did not move.
Su Congjun's tone was excited, "Above, there is a pheasant, do you see it?" ”
"Where, where?" Several people were excited.
The three of them followed Su Congjun's line of sight, and saw that ten meters away from them, a pheasant with colorful feathers and long tail feathers stood on a protruding rock.
Su Congjun's voice was lowered, "We are so lucky, we can still meet pheasants, everyone be quiet, don't alarm it, the pheasant is fast." ”
"Cluck, cluck......" it let out a crisp cry and began to peck at the ground as if searching for food.
"Now that the weather is cold, it's hard to find food, this pheasant should have been hungry for a while, let's be careful, catch it, and there will be one more dish on the table."
Su Congjun said angrily: "Congwu, you go around that side, I will slowly approach from the side, Sisi and Yunyun, you two don't move here, if the chicken comes over, you can block it." ”
"Okay."
"Understood."
Now that the battle plan is deployed, let's get moving!
Su Congjun tiptoed towards the pheasant, he was careful not to step on the dead branches on the ground to make a noise to alarm the pheasant, Su Congwu walked around from the other side, he moved more lightly, and every step he stepped on almost didn't make a sound.
The pheasant, who was concentrating on catching insects on the ground and looking for food, did not find two humans who had caught his attention, and it looked around with vigorous steps, its amber eyes rolling drippingly, and its big black bean eyes were particularly insightful, like a king patrolling his territory.
The two girls watched intently, not daring to come out, for fear that the sound of breathing would disturb it.
Su Qingyun bent down and picked up a flat stone on the ground, and threw it in his hand to find the feel.
Slowly, the three of them surrounded the pheasant in a triangular encirclement posture, and just when Su Congjun was about to touch it, it seemed to be alert to the danger, suddenly raised its head, and saw the two people who were getting closer and closer to it, its pupils seemed to shrink, and then "clucked" and screamed, spread its wings, and flew in the direction of Su Qingyun and the others.
"Yunyun, Sisi, stop it!" Su Congjun shouted.
Wen Sisi reacted quickly, and when she saw the pheasant flying towards her, she quickly stretched out her hand and grabbed at it, and the pheasant turned a corner, and Wen Sisi grabbed it empty, only catching two beautiful feathers.
"Don't run!" Wen Sisi screamed and chased after him.
The formation of the four people was completely messed up, Su Congjun and Su Congwu couldn't take care of it, and rushed directly towards it, this pheasant was fat and strong, and its body was also very vigorous, it was flexible among the three of them, slippery, feathers were flying, and from time to time it pecked a few people, its beak was very sharp, and it hurt to be pecked.
Su Congwu gritted his teeth, saw the right time, and pounced on the pheasant, it only felt warm in his hand, and was about to be excited, the pheasant's sharp claws slashed, Su Congwu painfully let go of his hand, he let go, the pheasant spread its wings and flew away, and Su Congwu only had a hand of chicken feathers left in his hand.
"Cluck, cluck......" The pheasant crowed again, stopping in Su Congwu's ears as if mocking him.
Su Congwu was annoyed, isn't it just a pheasant, he doesn't believe it, he can't catch it today!
Su Qingyun has been standing in place without moving, in fact, her eyes have been watching the trajectory of the pheasant, she is tense and highly concentrated, and the stone chips in her hand are ready to strike out at any time.
Finally, when the pheasant once flew proudly to her not far away, it stopped, Su Qingyun's eyes were fixed, it was now, she pinched the stone chips, made a decisive move, and the flat stones shot out, with the sound of breaking the air, and instantly smashed on the head of the chicken that was holding high, and the sound of "clucking" stopped abruptly, its body was crooked, and it soon fell to the ground.
Su Qingyun's hand made the three of them stunned.
Su Congwu walked to the pheasant, and looked at the pheasant whose dying body was still twitching and struggling, and he swallowed his saliva.
It took Su Congjun a long time before he regained his voice, "Yunyun, when will you do this?" You're too accurate, and you have the strength. ”
"It's just fast and ruthless!" Su Congwu muttered, touching the stone chips, still unable to believe it.
"This is too handsome, Yunyun!" Wen Sisi looked at Su Qingyun's eyes extremely hot, and little stars were about to pop up, she had never seen a girl who could be described as handsome, but Yunyun could!
"I just throw stones a lot by myself, practice makes perfect, and it just happened to me." Su Qingyun wrote lightly.
She is not a nerd who can only read books and soak in the laboratory, she has a strict family education, from the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etiquette and archery to learn, not refined, but she must be, she is especially good at shooting, when she was in college, she even won the shooting championship of the National Universiade, but unfortunately because of her busy studies, she never participated in the competition again.
"Now let's figure out how to get the chickens back, right?" She frowned and said, "It's not dark yet, and there are many people in the village, so if you see it, you have to mumble behind your back." ”
Yunluo Mountain belongs to the country, pheasants are things on the mountain, and naturally they also belong to the public.
Su Congjun thought for a while and said: "Let's go down like this first, and when I get to the foot of the mountain, I take off my cotton clothes, wrap the chicken and take it back." ”
"It's such a cold day, no, no." Wen Sisi vetoed.
"It's okay, I'll be home in two steps."
"Forget it, big brother, tomorrow is the big day for you and Sister Sisi, you can't catch a cold at this time." Su Qingyun also objected, she looked at Su Congwu, "Third brother, you are young and angry, you will take off your clothes and run back later." ”
Su Congwu: "......" Won't he catch a cold?
"Okay, I'll run, I'll run." He resigned himself.
Only Su Congwu was injured alone, and the world was reached.
Soon, the four of them went down the mountain, Su Congwu took off the cotton clothes outside, and ran home directly wrapped in a half-dead chicken, and the other three walked back slowly.
"Oh my God! Are you crazy you stinky boy! Zhang Xinlan in the courtyard was startled when she saw her son rushing in wearing two thin clothes, "What are you doing without your clothes on such a cold day?" ”
Su Congwu ran all the way back, but he didn't feel cold, "Mother, don't scream, come into the house." ”
Zhang Xinlan followed Su Congwu into the back room, only to see him open the cotton clothes in his hand, and the pheasant, which had been beautiful, appeared, and his body was still slightly undulating.
Zhang Xinlan's eyes widened, "My mother-in-law, where did you get such a fat pheasant?" ”
Su Congwu put on a cotton coat and raised his eyebrows proudly, "We caught it in the mountains, how about it?" One more dish. ”
"It's really capable of a few of you, and you can bring a pheasant back when you go out for a walk." Zhang Xinlan sighed in admiration.
"See." Su Congwu carried the chicken to the kitchen again, Li Xiulian and Wu Guixiang were busy in the kitchen, and their eyes lit up when they saw such a fat pheasant.
"You caught this?" Wu Guixiang circled around the pheasant three times, but she still didn't believe it.
Su Congwu paused, "I...... We caught it together. ”
"What's together? This was obviously caught by Yunyun, if it weren't for Yunyun, the three of us would still be fluttering there. Su Congjun walked in and said with a smile.
Su Congwu choked, why wasn't it together? He has no merit and hard work, right?
