Chapter 3 Practice Verification
There was a bird resting on a branch not far in front of her that she couldn't name, just you, the stone in Hong Xiaoduo's hand was thrown towards the bird.
Won't it only startle the bird, Hong Xiaoduo was thinking about it, only to hear the bird's chirp and fall off the branch.
I'll go? Really hit?
Hong Xiaoduo scratched her head in disbelief and raised her legs to walk over there.
Looking at the bird that was killed by herself under the tree, she was still a little unsure, was it really killed by herself?
The first time it may be a coincidence, but this second time it can hit the target, it shouldn't be a coincidence.
Does that mean that you can try to hunt hares or something, and you and those children will not be able to have something to eat, and it is still meat dishes, it is authentic game.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Hong Xiaoduo straightened up and walked towards the depths of the forest, walked a few steps and stopped, and looked back at the position of the dead bird: "What if you can't catch other game?" Although this bird is smaller, it is better than nothing. He turned around and picked up the bird, and saw a thin vine at his feet, and broke a leg that bound the bird and carried it on.
From yesterday to now, it's been almost a day and a night, so the beautiful illusion that she could return to modern times by the end of the ninety-minute experience journey has been shattered, and she doesn't know what the content of this plot is at all, so she has no clue how to end it and when it will end.
Anyway, now this identity setting, it's good to have a little effort, at least like now, you can survive in the wild and not go hungry.
Calm, the more urgent you are to find the answer and understand the truth, you will only make yourself more anxious, and in that case, in addition to getting worse, it will not be beneficial at all.
So, for now, let's find a way to fill my stomach and then think of other things, the solutions are all people come up with, and there is nothing that can't be solved.
Thinking like this, plus I just verified the skills of pointing where to fight, this should be replaced with darts, flying knives or something, it can be regarded as a skill in martial arts novels, and Hong Xiaoduo's mood is slightly better.
As soon as she couldn't walk far, Hong Xiaoduo saw a pheasant emerge from the bushes, and without saying a word, she threw the pebble she had just picked up with excitement.
This pheasant is dozens of times larger than the bird just now, so it should be easier to hit, right?
As soon as this thought arose, he saw that the pheasant was struck by a stone and fell to the ground.
"I'm hit, I'm really hit." Hong Xiaoduo was so happy that he couldn't do it, he trotted over and looked at the pheasant that was still fluttering on the ground, and couldn't suppress his excitement and tied it up with the previous bird, and the vines that he picked up again suddenly became heavy.
One or two of them this size should be enough for them to eat a full meal.
After hunting another hare and pheasant, Hong Xiaoduo had forgotten his previous plan to eat enough for a meal, and his interest in hunting could not be suppressed.
In the end, there were too many prey, and both hands were not easy to carry, so I was very reluctant to look deeper into the forest and go back.
Seeing that he was about to leave the forest, there was a faint cry in his ears, to be exact, it was the cry of a child, and it was not one or two, it was the kind of choir.
Hearing the cry, Hong Xiaoduo's scalp immediately began to tingle, although she had no previous memory, she could be sure that she didn't like to hear the child cry.
What's wrong with this? Could it be that the man is chasing after him?
Hong Xiaoduo was very worried, and sped up and ran out, because she was in a hurry, she didn't notice that she was now carrying two hands full of prey, adding up to hundreds of catties, but she didn't feel hard at all.
And, her feet were almost off the ground, and she looked like she was stepping on the tips of the grass and flying forward.
She began to regret that she had left them on the road, knowing that the man who had abused them would probably come after her, and that she should have hidden them before entering the woods.
When I got out of the forest, I saw children not far away, standing and sitting, some crying with their heads up, some crying with their heads down, and some crying together in hugs.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven? Hong Xiaoduo counted the number of people from a distance, no more and no less, and he didn't see the figure of the bad man, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and his pace slowed down, hiss, why did he slow down and be awkward?
"Look, it's my mother, my mother didn't leave us." The eldest boy was facing the forest all the time, so he was the first to see her, and told the other companions in a loud surprise.
The group's crying stopped abruptly, and they all turned their heads to look over there.
Then, someone ran to Hong Xiaoduo's side first, and the other children also ran over.
"Don't run, don't fall, be careful...... Oh, my God. Hong Xiaoduo shouted while watching that there was still a child who fell, frowned and quickened his pace to meet him.
"Mother, have you caught so much?"
"Mother, you beat this?"
"Mother, you're so amazing."
"These can sell for a lot of silver, right?"
In the midst of a group of chirps, Hong Xiaoduo returned to the side of the road with a group of chicks like a mother chicken.
The children were very excited to look around their prey, if it weren't for the tears and snot on their faces, it was as if the heart-wrenching cry just now was not theirs.
The eldest child, whose attention was always on Hong Xiaoduo's face, saw her looking at the faces of her friends, wrinkling her brows, and quickly pulled out a piece of cloth and wiped them first.
"Mother, I thought you didn't want us anymore, that's why I cried." The boy carefully explained while wiping his friends' faces.
Hong Xiaoduo sat on the throne that the children paved for her with leaves: "Why, do I look like a liar who lies?" ”
"No, it's not." Several children responded in unison.
"Forget it, the game is coming, let's make a fire and roast it." Hong Xiaoduo didn't want to emphasize what to guarantee again, what she was worried about now was how to clean up these wild meats, she didn't seem to know.
Also, she touched her body, and there was no fire in the costume TV series and in the ancient Yan novel, how should this fire be born?
However, just as she was worried, the children on the side suddenly dispersed, and they picked up dry branches and piled them together, and soon there was a big pile.
And the eldest boy, who skilfully pulled a few handfuls of hay balls and stuffed them under the dry branches, and took something out of a tattered cloth around his waist.
Fire excerpts? Does this kid have?
Thinking of the actions of these children just now, as well as the skillful action of the boy lighting the fire, Hong Xiaoduo did not feel happy, but a little sad.
"Mother, which one do you want to bake, I'll clean it up." The boy who had lit the fire turned to her and asked.
"Will you do too?" Hong Xiaoduo couldn't believe it.
The boy smiled and nodded: "Yes, I can do a lot of things and cook." ”
"Mother, I can do the laundry."
"Mother, I will too, so will I."
"We're going to do things." The other kids scrambled to be the first to speak.
Their expressions clearly tell Hong Xiaoduo that they are not burdensome, they can do things and work.
"You're amazing." Hong Xiaoduo felt a little uncomfortable.
She doesn't seem to know how to cook or pick up game, so she seems to only eat.
She glanced around at the children and made a slight estimate of how much game she would need to roast before she could eat enough. Then I feel like I can't estimate the right amount, and I'm inexperienced.
So, let's pack up three hares and five pheasants first.
She came according to the amount of a hare for two people and a pheasant for each person, and it was okay if she couldn't finish eating, so she could have leftover, and it would be dinner in the evening.
"Mother, how much can you eat?" The boy asked, puzzled.
Hong Xiaoduo was stunned for a moment: "It's not me who eats alone, let's eat eight?" ”
"Ah, do you have our share too?" There are children who can't believe it.
"Of course, or else? Don't you eat it? Hong Xiaoduo asked rhetorically.
One child blurted out, "Of course we're gnawing bones." ”
Hong Xiaoduo's face sank suddenly, no wonder they were all so yellow and thin, it was caused by hunger and long-term inadequacy.
"Everyone eats meat, not bones." Her tone was very bad.
"Mother, it's okay for us to gnaw on the bones, the bones are fragrant." The older boy sensed her annoyance and quickly spoke.
"If you don't eat meat and gnaw bones, how can you be full, how can you have the strength to continue on your journey if you don't eat enough, you?" She wanted to say, don't have the strength to go fast and go far, aren't you afraid of being caught up by that bad man?
But when you think about it, don't scare them.
When the children heard her say that everyone could eat meat without gnawing bones, they stared at her in disbelief and thought they had heard it wrong.
The boy reacted and pointed not far away and said that there was a waterhole where the cleaned up prey could be washed.
Hong Xiaoduo wants to go along, although she won't, and she can't really let these children do it.
Several of the children were adamant that they would not let her go, saying that they did it often, were very skilled, and made sure that the prey they packed was clean. There will be no hair sticking to it, and it will not break the bitter gall and bitter meat.
Seeing that a few of them walked out a few steps with their prey, Hong Xiaoduo remembered and asked, "Do you have any knives?" Otherwise, use this one, but be careful not to hurt yourself? She said she was about to draw the sword at her waist.
"Mother, don't worry if you don't use a knife or that, it'll be fine soon." The boy smiled and beckoned his friend to walk towards the waterhole he had found.
It was really fast, and the children came back with the packed game.
The skinned hare, the plucked pheasant, the entrails were removed, and even the little bird was cleaned up.
Watching the children chirp, they poked the game rack with a wooden stick and roasted it around the fire, and the older boy took out salt and sprinkled it on it.
"Mother, don't worry, big brother, he bakes it well, and it won't burn." The youngest girl stood beside Hong Xiaoduo and told her.
Hong Xiaoduo nodded, crossed her legs, propped her arms on her legs, supported her chin, and watched the children's excited roasted game.
At this moment, she heard the sound of horses' hooves, and looked in the direction of the sound, and a carriage came over, followed by two horsemen.
When the children noticed it closer, they looked a little nervous.
"Don't worry, it's not that person." The older boy looked over to the carriage and said.
Hearing him say this, the other children really didn't get nervous, and continued to stare at the roasted game, some of them were already swallowing their saliva, and now they can eat meat, which is great.
The group approached and stopped, and the rider didn't know what to say to the people in the carriage, and then pointed to the roasted game on horseback and the unpacked game tied on the side and said to Hong Xiaoduo: "Those, and those are all sold to us." ”
Looking at the people on horseback, Hong Xiaoduo didn't squeak, but looked at the children who looked at the wild meat that had been roasted and could be eaten immediately, and they all looked at her.
This meat may not be edible......
