Chapter 17: Pheasant

Suddenly there was a strange noise in the silent mountains, and this was the most terrifying moment. Because, you don't know if it's a human or a ghost who makes the noise.

To be precise, the only thing that can make a movement in the mountains is a living thing. In other words, the sound must have been made by some person or animal.

People are unlikely, this is a desert island, and there is a chance that there will be no people. Moreover, the movement of people is greater than this.

It can only be an animal, and it can be a small animal.

"Ghost~" Jiang Lingling screamed, scared everywhere.

Even if she was scared like this, she didn't throw away the vegetables she was holding in her hand, which made Wen Xian not know what to say.

"Don't run, be quiet" Wen Xian pulled the person behind her, looking at the source of the sound vigilantly.

At this time, it is almost fatal to run around.

She didn't immediately go to the tree, after all, if it was a big beast, it would have been visible now.

Jiang Lingling freed up two fingers, grabbed the corner of her clothes and trembled, "Madam, I'm afraid." ”

Wen Xian raised her hand and patted her arm, and said with relief: "Don't be afraid, let's move out slowly." ”

When we move to the sparse woods, we will be safe.

At least, in the past two days, Wen Xian has never seen any animals run out of the woods.

"Mm-hmm" Jiang Lingling nodded fiercely, and moved out with Wen Xian's footsteps.

It's just that when I was about to move to the junction, there was another "click".

But this time, the voice came from under Jiang Lingling's feet.

Jiang Lingling was so frightened that he almost cried, but he didn't dare to move. I could only look at Wen Xian for help, hoping that she could help.

Wen Xian looked down at Jiang Lingling's legs, but found that Jiang Lingling's shoes had some suspicious mucus sticky.

This discovery made Wen Xian smile happily in an instant, and hurriedly instructed: "Don't be afraid, step on the egg, I'll see if there are any eggs under your feet first." ”

Wild eggs, whether eggs or bird eggs, can be added to their meal.

The most important thing is that you can add food to Jiang Jingwan and the child in her belly.

She was still worried about what to take to supplement Jiang Jingwan's nutrition, so this would not come.

They eat seafood and wild vegetables every day. Adults, coping with starvation and dying.

But pregnant women can't eat like this, pregnant women and children have to supplement the nutrients they deserve.

Wen Xian carefully dug a clean piece of ground on the side and asked Jiang Lingling to move his feet. Then I dug in the position just now, and two wild eggs were dug out.

Jiang Lingling said with guilt on his face: "It's all my fault, if I didn't step on one, there would be three." ”

Three eggs, one for Jiang Jingwan a day, can also be eaten for three days.

Wen Xian couldn't help but raise her hand and knocked on her head and said, "What stupid things to say, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have found these wild eggs." You take the things back in your hand first, and by the way, find Li'er over, I have important things to hand over to her. ”

Jiang Lingling's face was embarrassed: "But it's very dangerous here, I don't worry that my wife is here alone." ”

She hadn't forgotten that there were still unknown animals waiting in the mountains, and she didn't dare to let Wen Xian stay here alone.

Wen Xian glanced at the mountain, waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, if the beast comes early." I suspect that it was a pheasant that had just made the noise, and it was most likely a wild hen.

You go and come back quickly, whether you can eat chicken tonight depends on whether you run fast or not. ”

Under her urging, Jiang Lingling reluctantly ran out with wild vegetables. But she had two wild eggs in her hands, and she didn't dare to run too fast.

After Jiang Lingling left, Wen Xian took the dagger and drew a circle in place, and then began to dig down little by little with the dagger.

Wen Xian was not in a hurry, as if she was waiting for something, while digging, she looked into the depths of the mountains and forests.

After a while, there was another "click" from there, followed by two "clucks".

Wen Xian's face was overjoyed, and she hurriedly got up and ran towards the place where the sound came from.

Sure enough, a wild hen was laying eggs in the grass.

When she saw a living man, the wild hen was frightened and flapped her wings and ran.

Wen Xian, who had been prepared for a long time, could let it go, and finally caught the wild hen in her hands.

The hen that lays the eggs is the easiest to catch, and when she knows that she can't run, she will squat down to protect the eggs in her belly.

But frightened hens tend not to lay eggs, or to lay soft eggs.

It doesn't matter what eggs it lays, Wen Xian will definitely catch it today anyway. After all, if you let it go this time, the next time you meet it, I don't know when it will go.

Grabbing the wild hen, Wen Xian didn't stop long, picked up an egg in the grass and walked out quickly.

Walking outside in the middle of the woods, I happened to meet Jiang Lingling, who was returning from Xun Sheng Li'er.

"Wow, Madame is so good, she caught a pheasant." Jiang Lingling rushed up and circled around Wen Xian, her eyes full of stars.

Sheng Li'er also said with a happy face: "Madame called me to catch pheasants?" How many pheasants are there in there, do you need to shout more? ”

At the moment, her eyes are all kinds of chicken. She prefers poultry to small, small seafood.

For example, this wild hen is suitable for making old hen stewed mushrooms.

The corners of Wen Xian's mouth twitched slightly and said helplessly: "This can't be eaten, whether your eldest sister and children have rations in the future, it all depends on it." ”

Pregnant women eat boiled eggs, baked eggs, and scrambled eggs, and babies eat egg flowers and steamed eggs. There are eggs out there, at least they won't starve to death.

Sheng Li'er retracted her eyes with pity on her face, and hurriedly asked, "Is there anything in there, I'll catch two more and raise the eldest sister and the child for nothing." ”

Wen Xian shook her head and said, "Let's come here in the morning, let's see the situation first." I wanted you to come over and help dig a trap to catch the chicken, but I didn't expect it to go so smoothly and I caught it directly.

Still, the trap has to be made. There must be more than this chicken in the mountains, there are other hares or something, making traps, and picking up a lot of leaks. ”

She gave Jiang Lingling the eggs in her hand to hold, and led them to the cave hurriedly, calling a few people who went to school and climbed trees by the way.

In the afternoon, if the situation allows, she will take someone to dig a trap.

It's always good to find more food to stock up, and now it's not good to pickle game in summer, so you can raise the prey you catch first, and then slaughter and marinate it in autumn and winter.

It just so happened that she still had time to get the salt out first, and then stock up on more salt.

Wen Xian and Jiang Lingling entered the mountain, but they gained a lot in just one morning. This has given others hope that they will not have to worry about starvation.

The wild hen was tied to a strip of cloth by Wen Xian on her feet and tied to a stake that had just been nailed in the hole.

This kind of long-term nurse has to be put in a hole to feel at ease.

The three eggs were placed on the ground by Wen Xian, and everyone could see them.

It's lunch time, and a new round of cooking is about to begin.

Wen Xian looked at each other, and said calmly: "These three eggs are all left to Jingwan." Two eat today, and the other one eats tomorrow. Later, if there are too many eggs, everyone will eat them separately. If it's not much, I'll give it to Jingwan, do you have any opinions. ”
