Chapter 385: Result of Inquiry
"Okay, I'll practice."
So, the old lady chose a tree and practiced slingshot against it.
The snow on the ground does not melt all winter, it accumulates very thickly, Luo Changtian lay down and rolled in the snow a few times, the black tiger saw that his heart was itching, and he also rolled with him, the snow stuck to his clothes and would not melt, just shoot it down again.
As for the snow sticking to the black tiger's body, it all fell after a few shakings.
The old lady was practicing the slingshot, and when she saw Luo Changtian and the black tiger rolling on the snow, she put the slingshot in her pocket and lay down on the ground and rolled a few times.
Mom, it's so comfortable, it's so cozy.
When Luo Jingyan walked over, she saw an old man and a young man, rolling in the snow with a black cat.
She couldn't help but smile, but rolling in the snow seemed to be quite fun, when Xue Yanchen was here, why didn't she think of this idea, she wanted to roll in the snow with him.
He's not here now, so she'll just fight a few by herself.
They rolled on the floor for a while, and the old lady sat up, "It's really enjoyable, it's much more enjoyable than rolling in bed at home." β
Luo Jingyan also felt that she was very relieved, although she didn't have much pressure now, like the old lady, she felt very happy.
Enough of rolling around, just stand up and pat the snow off your body.
Luo Jingyan asked Mrs. Xue, "Where is Grandma going?" β
Mrs. Xue didn't have an idea, she didn't find the pheasant, it was almost noon, and if she went inside, she wouldn't be able to go down the mountain at noon.
"Daughter-in-law, let's go down this time, can we still come in two days?"
"Of course, we can come whenever we want."
"Oh, then I'll listen to you, you say you don't want to go inside."
"Grandma, we can go back the way we came, and maybe we'll meet pheasants when we go back."
"Alright, let's go back."
They returned along the road they had come, Luo Jingyan asked Mrs. Xue to walk in front, and after walking for a while, the old lady really found a pheasant with its head stuck in the snow.
She hurried over and pulled out the pheasant, which was already frozen hard.
"Jingyan, Changtian, look, this pheasant is stuck in the snow, it has been frozen to death, and its whole body is hard."
"Grandma, you're in luck."
"Let's go back and stew pheasant meat."
Luo Jingyan saw that the old lady was smiling brightly, this pheasant was really worth it.
As the saying goes, it's easy to go up the mountain, but hard to get down.
It's not that going down is more tiring than going up, it's that going down is more dangerous than going up.
As they came down the hill, the old lady looked at the thick snow on the slope, and it was easy to slip if she walked like this, and her eyes rolled into a whim.
"Jingyan, Xiaotian, why don't we roll down the slope? Save time and effort, and also reduce the risk of slipping, do you say? β
If Luo Jingyan had ridden the fat tiger down the mountain by herself, now, she really thought the old lady had a good idea.
"Grandma, I'm fine."
"I'm fine, don't you just get down, just treat yourself as an egg and get down, hahaha." Luo Changtian said with a smile.
Old Lady Xue lay down first: "Grandma will get out first, you two are free." β
Then Luo Changtian lay down, "I'm out too, sister, you are free." β
Only Luo Jingyan was left, and there was a black tiger next to her.
[Master, get out too! γ
[Huh? γ
[No, master, I mean you should get out of here! γ
[Huh? γ
The kittens want to cover their mouths with their paws, [Lord, master, do you want to go? γ
At this time, Old Lady Xue and Luo Changtian had already rolled halfway up the mountain.
Luo Jingyan also lay down, [Black Tiger, let's get out together. γ
[Okay, master.] I've already laid down. The kitten is lying in the snow with four black paws facing the sky.
[One, two, three, Black Tiger, start!] γ
The two of them also began to roll.
After they returned home, Luo Jingyan boiled hot water and prepared to remove the pheathers of the pheasants.
Mrs. Xue had already put the pheasant in the basin, and a little cold water had to be added to the boiling water to prevent the chicken skin from being too high to burn the skin.
After the pheasant is scalded by hot water, the pores will open a lot, and the chicken feathers will be easily plucked off.
Mrs. Xue and Luo Changtian cleaned the pheasant's clothes together, and Mrs. Xue personally performed an open stomach operation on it.
In the end, the task of stewing pheasants was given to Luo Jingyan.
The pheasant is simmering in the pot, and the smell of the fragrance beautifies the whole room.
Mrs. Xue lives in Beijing all the year round, and rarely eats wild meat, plus her granddaughter-in-law is already a good craft, and the pungent fragrance hooks out all the greedy worms in her stomach, which makes her heart itch.
She was in charge of the fire, adding firewood to the bottom of the pot, hoping to cook the pheasant meat quickly.
Luo Jingyan said: "Grandma, you don't need to burn too much fire, if the fire is too big, it may not be cooked quickly, and only by simmering slowly can the pheasant meat be stewed inside and out." β
In order to alleviate Old Lady Xue's cravings, she took out a few pieces of mung bean cake and gave them to Old Lady Xue.
"Grandma, if you're hungry, eat first."
Old Mrs. Xue took it and ate two pieces, which slightly relieved her impatience for the pheasant.
At noon, Luo Changtian and Luo Jingyan tried their best to give pheasant meat to Mrs. Xue, they can often eat pheasant meat here, and pheasant meat is a rarity for Mrs. Xue.
Mrs. Xue was satisfied today, and began to wonder if she could catch a hare or a wild boar next time.
The old lady's inflated ambition!
However, there is not much thirst for game at the moment, so let's wait for two days.
The old lady was like ADHD, and since that trip to the mountains, she has rarely been able to stay inside the house during the day.
"Jingyan, Changtian, let's go outside for a snowball fight."
"Okay."
So, for the first time, the people in the village saw the old lady having a snowball fight.
They always thought it was a game that only children would play, and adults would not be so naΓ―ve.
But Mrs. Xue is not affected by age at all, she can play as much as she wants, and the old lady in the village who has a sharp body also joined in, and it is quite comfortable to move her muscles and bones.
Later, there were too many old ladies who came to join in the fun, and Mrs. Xue also performed her kung fu for them, and in an instant, those old ladies became her little fans.
"Big girl, you're amazing, amazing."
"Sister, how old are you to learn kung fu? I'm fifty-five this year, do you think I'm still in time to learn? β
"Eldest sister, if you play every day, I will come to your scene every day."
So, Mrs. Xue quickly became familiar with these old ladies in the village, she performed kung fu by herself just to exercise, she was afraid that these old ladies would flash their waists, so she only let them watch and not let them learn, the old ladies seemed to have found new fun, and they found it interesting just to watch.
Unconsciously, a month passed, and Xue Yanchen and his comrades-in-arms completed their tasks and returned to the military region.
He had just arrived in the military region, and before he had time to rest, he went to find Regiment Commander Jiang.
"Chief, about my marriage report, when I left, you said that you would give me an answer when I came back, and now you have the result."
