064 Eat them all
The people who picked wild vegetables and herbs hadn't left yet, and when they saw Chen Song and them coming back with the grass, the women were overjoyed one by one, stopped their work and enthusiastically gathered around the grass to greet the cold and warmth.
"The grass has lost weight."
"Caoya, where have you been running for more than a year, why don't you even have any news, your eldest sister and Zhao Di are very worried."
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back, don't leave in the future."
"Look at how skinny you are...... When you go down the mountain, go to your aunt's, who has dug up a lot of wild vegetables today, which will keep you full. ”
It's all true feelings, and some people wipe their tears when they talk about it.
The three grass sisters were all grown up by them, and even if some of them have a patriarchal concept, it is difficult not to feel sympathy for the sisters' plight. What a good child, how can he just have such a bad father and mother.
But in the end, it's not their own family's business, and they can't manage it so much, and the grass girl will come to the door and point her nose and scold people.
The little girl, who was only in her early tens, didn't know how many sins she had suffered in the past year or so.
Caoya has not been cared for by so many people for a long time, looking at the familiar faces and listening to the familiar voices, she has turned red all of a sudden, her eyes are covered with a layer of mist, and her mouth opens and closes and opens, but she doesn't say a word.
"Okay, okay, don't talk here, go down the mountain first." Chen Song said.
So the group returned happily, and the women didn't stop talking along the way, either asking Caoya to introduce the six children, or asking Caoya about her experience for more than a year...... As for the fire, they all tacitly didn't mention it.
Everyone has a saying in their hearts that Chen Jin's bad seed can anger his mother, in order to repay his gambling debts, he almost sold out his family property and didn't know how to retract, and he had to sell his own daughter to the kiln, and he deserved to die.
As for whether it was the grass set the fire or not, it doesn't matter anymore, even if they still don't know what the truth is, but at the beginning, they were able to stop discussing suspicion because of the village chief and the patriarch's light words, and told the official that it was an accidental fire, which means that they didn't think about the justice of killing people at all.
Today is a good day, what to do with those bad guys.
Feeling the kindness of the aunts, Caoya also understood, Brother Ping'an was right, the uncles and aunts in the village didn't mind what she had done, and gradually she also let go of her guard and chatted with the aunts heartily.
When the six little ones saw this scene, their hearts were sour, and envy was written on their faces. They can be abandoned so easily by their families, and they are not welcomed at home, and they are rarely cared for in this way. But they are happy from the bottom of their hearts, happy for Sister Caoya, and happy for themselves.
Fortunately, Sister Caoya saved herself, these adults care so much about Sister Caoya, they are stained with Sister Caoya's light, and they can also have adults to protect them in the famine year.
Before setting off in the morning, Li Dafang instructed Dashan's daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law to cook and eat the grass and the six children's share, which was obviously intended to let the grass and the six children follow their family along the way.
This is also the best choice, after all, all members of the team are laborers, even if it is Zhaodi, they are used to doing work, and they can help a lot, which is relatively easy. Besides, Caoya is still the sister of Peach Blossom and Zhaodi, and they can't sit idly by, so it's a big deal to let Zhang Xiaoshan eat less and find more food with Li Ping'an.
Why do you want to go with Li Ping'an? Who let this kid always "grind" her youngest son, Li Dafang saw with his own eyes that as soon as he went down to the foot of the mountain, Li Ping'an carried Zhang Xiaoshan's back basket containing rabbits down the mountain to his shoulder.
I don't know who this kid is with, obviously his father and mother are diligent and can endure hardships, why is he so fond of calling people.
Li Ping'an didn't know how his aunt arranged him in her heart, but even if she knew, she wouldn't care, he only loved to call Zhang Xiaoshan alone, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer.
"Little sister, what do you think the eldest brother brought back?" Li Ping'an put the basket on the ground and happily beckoned to his younger brothers and sisters, "Come and see." ”
Xiao Ruyi threw off her legs and ran, she was just a head higher than the back basket, and at a glance she saw the big rabbit inside The little rabbit, her eyes suddenly brightened, and she slapped and jumped, "Rabbit, it's a rabbit, there are a lot of rabbits, I want to eat rabbit meat in the cauldron!" ”
Ji Xiang Xinglong also shouted happily, and then more and more children of all sizes gathered, and many adults also came over to take a look.
"Yo, there are quite a few, more than a dozen, right?"
"Exactly ten, four big rabbits, six rabbits." Li Ping'an said proudly, "I killed them all in the next day, plus two pheasants, and cooked a big pot of soup, I dare not say that everyone can eat a mouthful of meat, but it is enough to drink a mouthful of soup and dip it in some meat." ”
I discussed it with Zhang Yu on the mountain, and there was just a harvest, so I took advantage of the rest to eat a good meal, and everyone recuperated enough to continue to escape the famine.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, before the famine, many of them had a rare meat at home, but they could eat a mouthful of meat from time to time in the days when they were hiding from the flood in the mountains, and now they have escaped the famine, and they have not eaten enough gruel porridge along the way, there are these rabbits and two pheasants, and there can be some oil and water in their stomachs.
However, some people are happy and can't help worrying, after escaping from the famine for more than ten days, it is the first time to hit the prey, and then I don't know if there will be such a good thing, what to do after eating it now, is it better to leave some?
"What to keep, these things seem to be too much, if you really want to set aside a part separately, then the boiled soup is also clear soup and little water, so what else do you want." Besides, it won't take long for this meat to stink on this hot day, if you don't kill and eat it while there is no one else now, do you still have to cook and eat it in front of people you don't know, isn't this forcing others to rob us? ”
After that, Li Ping'an put on a hippie smiling expression, and said cheekily: "Uncles, I'll take advantage of it with a cheeky face, and give my family a few chicken and rabbit meat to eat, okay?" ”
"It's all from your uncle, you can do whatever you say." Chen Songle hehe, and then proposed, "I see, adults can just drink soup, and the meat is reserved for the children to eat. ”
Everyone has children at home, so they didn't object, they all agreed to Chen Song's proposal, and then looked at Li Erlin and Zhang Yu, they were the heads, as long as they agreed, they could be decided like this.
Of course, Zhang Yu had no opinion, he had discussed with Li Ping'an and Chen Song how to deal with these prey on the mountain. Not to mention Li Erlin, there is no need for him to deliberately contradict what everyone agrees with, and he has no reason to oppose it.
After saying this, Zhang Yu talked about seeing a flock of pheasants on the mountain, and said that in the afternoon, a few people would go up the mountain with him to catch all the pheasants.
Everyone was overjoyed and responded enthusiastically, for fear that Zhang Yu would not choose him.
