Chapter 20 Spring Rain
Author: Mo Fanshuang
After returning home, Chang Ning happily counted the spoils, while Han Mingyuan returned to the bed in the room without a sound and lay down.
He almost exhausted his energy all the way through the journey. If he hadn't been determined, he would have been afraid that he would have fallen halfway.
Is it really too arrogant?
Han Mingyuan smiled bitterly, but it touched the wound on his chest, making him grin again.
He forced himself to calm down, and then felt a sense of fatigue coming up.
"Han Ming..."
Chang Ning, who had broken into the room, immediately fell silent when he saw Han Mingyuan with his eyes closed on the bed.
She walked to the bed and stood still, but Han Mingyuan's breathing was still stable, and there was no sign of being awake.
Obviously, as long as she approached, Han Mingyuan would be awakened immediately.
Chang Ning looked at his pale and bloodless face and suddenly gave up the idea of taking the four rabbits to the city to sell them for money.
It’s better to change some nutritious things to replenish his body! Such a stubborn person needs to be served well.
Chang Ning retreated, closed the door, carried the basket of rabbits and went around the village.
She went to Zhang Feng's house first, Zhang Feng was drying a quilt in the yard, while Wang Lihua was teasing the dog.
As soon as she approached, Wang Xiaohua barked at the entrance of the yard.
"Good dog, it's me, don't bark!"
Chang Ning's humility did not get Wang Xiaohua's understanding. It was not until Zhang Feng shouted that Wang Xiaohua shut up.
"So it's Xiao Ning. What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with finding the aunt?"
Chang Ning said softly: "That's right. My brother and I went up the mountain to get a few rabbits. I want to change some things to nourish my brother. I saw that you have a few chickens at home and wanted to ask if the aunt had changed her food.
Intention?”
Chang Ning said as he opened the basket and picked up two hares.
Zhang Feng was startled when he saw it, "Your brother is so powerful in hunting, he can actually catch so many hares!"
Zhang Feng's tone was unconcealed praise, "It's even better than Li Gui. How did your brother do it?"
Chang Ning smiled helplessly, "My brother used to know some skills."
She also made efforts to beat the rabbit, but why did it sound like Han Mingyuan’s credit?
Forget it, he is the most injured.
Zhang Feng nodded with satisfaction and whispered: "So you still know how to do kung fu..."
When Chang Ning saw that Zhang Feng was getting out of the way, he asked again: "Aunt Zhang, can you change it?"
"Switch, change!"
Zhang Feng immediately turned around and grabbed a big rooster from the chicken coop. Without saying a word, he tied the chicken's feet tightly with straw and handed them to Wang Lihua.
"Girl, take it home for your sister Xiaoning."
"oh!"
Wang Lihua patted the mud on her hands, took the rooster from Zhang Feng, then turned to Chang Ning and smiled: "Sister Xiaoning, I'll carry it for you."
"Thank you, Sister Lihua."
Border game is very popular. Wild rabbits are sold at a higher price than domestic rabbits, and can be sold for twenty cents per pound, while domestic chickens are only eleven cents per pound.
But the rooster is heavier than the rabbit, so Chang Ning gave Zhang Feng two rabbits.
Zhang Feng felt a little sorry for taking advantage of Chang Ning, so she put four or five eggs on her.
Chang Ning did not refuse and accepted them all.
Then Chang Ning led the way to Cheng Erqing's home.
Cheng Erqing likes to eat wild game, and he also very honestly exchanges her a piece of bacon smoked from the New Year.
There was the last rabbit left, so Chang Ning went to the village chief's house to exchange for ten kilograms of rice. The excess was used as the medicine fee paid to Han Mingyuan. After all, Cao Nianshun caught him two pairs of medicine.
After changing things, Chang Ning was about to go home. Wang Lihua followed the chicken in her arms. Seeing that she was a little weak, Chang Ning wanted to take the chicken over.
"Sister Lihua, thank you for guiding me. Otherwise, I'll take it back by myself!"
Wang Lihua raised her head and asked innocently: "Can Sister Xiaoning be able to hold it?"
"This place is not far from my house, and I am very strong, so there is no problem."
Wang Lihua hesitated for a moment, thought about her soft and sore wrists, and decisively handed the chicken to Chang Ning.
"Sister Xiaoning, don't tell my mother, otherwise she will know that I gave up halfway and scold me again!"
"I promise not to say it."
"Uh-huh."
Chang Ning waved his hand and said goodbye to Wang Lihua. After returning home, he first packed the rice and bacon, and then boiled a pot of boiling water.
She cut the rooster's neck with a knife, then took the chicken blood into the bowl, and after it stopped the bleeding, she would basically not move.
Seeing that the rooster's feather was bright, Chang Ning pulled out a few clean ones and kept them for a shuttlecock.
Next, put the whole chicken in boiling water and soak it for a few minutes.
When you take it out, you gently pull it off and the feathers fall down one by one.
When it was halfway through, raindrops fell on Chang Ning's face, but after a while, the raindrops gradually became dense and drizzled.
Chang Ning quickly rushed under the eaves with his chicken, sat on the threshold and continued to pluck his hair, but the stove on the yard was all wet with the rain.
This stove was built by Cheng Erqing when he saved Han Mingyuan, but because it was in the open air, it was impossible to make a fire and cook once it rained.
Although spring rain is as expensive as oil, Chang Ning still feels a little unwell.
When Han Mingyuan woke up, he saw Chang Ning holding a running chicken in his arms, staring at the earth stove outside the thatched hut with a dull expression.
The pink lips were gently pursed, and the expression showed a sense of sourness and grievance.
Han Mingyuan suddenly felt so blocked that he felt even more uncomfortable than a wound attack.
The original pain on the back seemed to have become insignificant at this moment.
He walked slowly over, sat down beside Chang Ning, then took the bald chicken from her hand, and silently pulled up the remaining hair.
Chang Ning was stunned for a moment, then asked softly: "Have you rested?"
"Yeah, it's fine."
"oh!"
Chang Ning held his legs, pressed his chin against his knees, and then watched the raindrops falling outside the house.
Behind the rain and under the eaves, the two of them sat side by side. The scene of originally lonely and lonely was due to the appearance of Han Mingyuan, which was filled with indescribable warmth and tranquility.
The rain didn't last long, but it also wet the ground and extinguished the stove fire.
Chang Ning went to the field to dig a few pieces of yellow mud and put back the collapsed stove.
Then the fire was regenerated, but because the stove was wet, the black smoke rolled like the beacon fire, which made Chang Ning cry.
I finally dried the stove and then the fire became smooth.
It’s just that time has been delayed for too long, and if you stew chicken soup, you may not be able to eat it for a while.
Originally, they didn't have lunch at noon, and Chang Ning was worried that Han Mingyuan would not be hungry for so long, so he fryed a plate of eggs and cut a few slices of bacon to deal with it.
I plan to start making chicken soup after I finish my meal.
When the chicken soup is ready, I can just let Han Mingyuan drink two big bowls of nourishing before going to bed.
I will definitely be energetic when I wake up tomorrow and make up for the lost energy today.
