Chapter 26: Concerns
Just exiled, the word meat is not attractive to concubines who have always had no worries about food and clothing.
In the past, in the palace, in order to maintain their figure, they always ate little and lightly.
In addition, there is no need to work, everything is served, and it is naturally okay not to eat meat.
But now it's different, and now you have to do everything yourself.
If you don't eat meat for a short time, you can't see it, and if you don't eat meat for a long time, your nutrition can't keep up, and your body will inevitably be unable to bear it.
So, in any case, finding meat to eat is for sure, and you can't rely on seafood alone.
Fang Jiaren, who is good at medicinal diets, naturally knows these best. She broke up the stakes and told Jiang Lingling and Sheng Li'er about it.
In fact, it is also being told to others, so as not to make them feel guilty.
She glanced at Wen Xian vaguely, and she didn't say anything in her heart. That is, when there is really no way, eat the meat of this little wolf cub.
Wen Xian's eyelids jumped, and she looked away from Fang Jiaren. Fang Jiaren wanted to beat the idea of milk dumplings, and he couldn't let milk dumplings be alone with Fang Jiaren in the future.
Wen Xian put her eyes on Jiang Lingling and Sheng Li'er: "What do you think?" ”
Jiang Lingling nodded vigorously and said, "Agree, madam, I will help you raise wolf cubs together." ”
"I, I also agree," Sheng Li'er said after holding back for a long time, "I can find food to help raise it together." ”
She still didn't dare to touch the wolf cub directly, so she better stay away.
The problem of the wolf cub is solved, and the next thing is the problem of the big brown wolf in the cave.
Wen Xian first put the wolf cub aside, then came to the edge of the pit, squatting down to check the situation inside.
The big brown wolf died a tragic death, and as expected, he was injured first and then escaped.
It was covered in wounds, especially on the neck and hind legs.
The sharp stakes in the pit fell to the ground, and only one was stuck into the front leg of the big brown wolf.
However, these are not the most fatal wounds. The most fatal wound was the one that the brown wolf carried when it escaped.
The pit they dug was not deep for the wolf, but it was an unbridgeable chasm for the injured brown wolf.
Wen Xian speculated that it was due to excessive blood loss.
Except for Wu Junlan and Fang Jiaren, everyone else couldn't bear to watch this scene, and they all stayed two meters away.
Wen Xian turned her head towards Fang Jiadao: "What, this wolf, can you eat it?" ”
Now that they have put their minds on the wolf cubs, the ready-made dead wolves should be extremely attractive.
However, Fang Jiaren shook his head desperately and said, "That's it, it's all dead, leave it all dead." Bury it on the spot, what does Madame think? ”
She smiled bitterly, after all, she thought that she could take care of such an animal as a wolf.
However, Wu Junlan had a different opinion.
"In the past, I heard my father and brother say that in winter, the soldiers at the border gate often fed on the bark of trees. Worse still, they feed their hunger with dirt. Wu Junlan sniffed and said, "If there is such a wolf, not to mention that the soldiers are happy, even the homeless people on the side of the road are eager to immediately pounce on it and drink its blood and eat its flesh." ”
In their eyes, this is food, and it is meat that they can't ask for.
Wen Xian hurriedly said: "It's better to bury it, let's a few weak women, not to mention that we can't quickly peel the skin and deal with it, let's just say that our food can't be eaten in a few days."
The weather is hot right now, and this meat is easy to spoil if left like this. Moreover, the smell of blood can easily attract other beasts, including wolves. ”
She suddenly felt that the fall of the previous dynasty was not unreasonable, and even the soldiers guarding the border were short of food and clothing, not to mention ordinary people.
However, it is true that they are now only suitable for small game, pheasants, hares, ducks, etc.
Wu Junlan withdrew from her sad emotions, and said with a slightly correct face: "Bury it on the spot or what?" ”
Madame's words are not unreasonable, and she herself is not the kind of unreasonable person. Since Madame said that she would bury it, she had to speed up and bury it quickly.
"Bury it in place." As soon as Wen Xian's words came out, Sheng Li'er breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.
Worried about any changes, Sheng Li'er hurriedly stood up: "I'll go get the tools and bury them immediately." ”
Wen Xian nodded in agreement. The tools in Sheng Li'er's mouth refer to the stones, sticks, and so on that were used to dig the pit before.
She probably knew why Sheng Li'er was so active, probably because she was afraid that they would directly let her jump down and fish up the corpse of the big brown wolf.
It is best to throw the carcass of the big brown wolf into the sea and let it be swept away by the waves. The corpses were destroyed, and there was no smell of blood.
But Wen Xian didn't plan to do this, first, if she wanted to throw it into the sea, most of them could only rely on Dali Li'er to do this.
Second, the shadow caused by this incident to Sheng Li'er or others will last for a long time and linger.
Therefore, it is better to bury it in situ. It's a pity that such a good big pit also received half a pit of rainwater.
The soil dug out of the pit is still on the edge of the pit, but now the pit is buried, and the soil on the side needs to be pushed in, and it can be completed.
When the pit was filled, several people were tired and panting, and sat in the cave silently.
Wen Xian flipped through the plantain that had been stored earlier, and the color had turned yellow, which meant that it was ripe and ready to eat.
She sent two by one, and then she would fill her stomach first.
One of the things that worries her the most at the moment is that everyone was frightened last night, and she was worried that someone would have a fever.
You must know that when a person is frightened or encounters a major accident, it is very likely that he will have a fever.
and Jiang Jingwan, who is also pregnant with a child. Although she had just taken the pulse and there was no big problem, she was still worried.
Thinking of this, she hugged the little wolf cub, stood up and said, "I'll go out and dig some herbs." You can rest for a while, and you will be free for a while. ”
She doesn't really want to arrange what everyone has to do every day, but she can't help it, if she wants to survive, someone has to do practical things.
So, she continued: "It happened to rain last night, I'll dig some mushrooms later." Half of the firewood in the cave was used up last night, but you can pick up some more, and the more the better.
The large pit at the entrance buried the carcass of the brown wolf, and several more pits had to be dug to store water. You have to take some plantain back and put it away, and eat it when it is cooked, just in case.
You look at your own arrangements, and if I don't come back for lunch later, you don't have to wait for me. ”
Wen Xian felt that she was like an old mother, and there were many things to talk about.
She hurriedly came out of the cave and did not give others a chance to ask questions.
However, Xia Zhimo ran out silently, and followed behind her.
Wen Xian glanced back: "What are you doing here, I can do it alone." ”
"Two people have to take care of." Xia Zhi replied.
Wen Xian: "It's okay, follow closely, and go up the tree if you have an accident." ”
Xia Zhi nodded, indicating that he knew.
And in the cave, a big drama is being staged at this time. It is in stark contrast to the tranquility of the two of them here.
The cause was a sentence that Sheng Lian'er inadvertently said to Jiang Jingwan.
