Chapter 9 This is a bit mysterious

Rong Qian was sleeping soundly. When he saw Nalan Jing, he suddenly woke up and said quickly: "Sister-in-law, has something happened to my elder brother?"

Nalanjing felt that this Sanlang was really stupid and wise at times.

Nalanjing asked him to wash his face first, and she had something to tell him.

Rong Qian held the chicken coop on his head and walked to the bucket to wash his face with cold water. After wiping it clean, he walked to Nalanjing and waited for her to speak.

Nalanjing pointed to the main room: "I am going up the mountain now. It may take some time to come back. Please help me guard your elder brother."

Rong Qian hummed and nodded. How could he be called helping by guarding his eldest brother? This was his duty.

Nalanjing looked at the still dumbfounded person and couldn't help but add: "Remember, don't get too excited no matter what happens."

"..."

After Nalanjing washed up, he came out carrying an old backpack and carried it out.

The basket was found in the house. It was made of densely woven bamboo and tied with two hemp ropes on both sides. It showed no signs of decay over the years and was very strong.

When Nalanjing was at the foot of the mountain, he observed the topography of the mountain. There was a large mountain range behind it, and there were deep mountains inside. There shouldn't be too ferocious beasts in the outer mountains. Looking for some hares and pheasants shouldn't be a problem.

Disaster.

Hunters rely on experience when hunting. In addition to experience, Nalanjing also has rich theoretical knowledge.

On the way, she first caught a lot of yellow worms in the vegetable field, wrapped them in large leaves and put them in her backpack. She quickly walked along the terrain to a hilly area.

Looking down from the hills, we can see a large area of ​​farmland surrounding it. At this time, there is no human presence in the field, and pheasants flapping their wings are everywhere in the field looking for food.

Nalanjing lay quietly on the hill, scattered the yellow worms on his backpack, then quietly retreated into the grass, holding a slingshot and a few pebbles in his hand, and blew a gentle whistle.

The wild pheasants that were dancing happily in the field suddenly sounded their alarm, thinking that someone had fallen to the ground, and they all flapped their wings and flew up the hilly slope.

They looked left and right with widened eyes and saw no one. However, when they saw a lot of yellow worms on the ground, they immediately grabbed the food excitedly.

"Puch! Plop! Plop!"

Nalanjing pulled the slingshot three times in a row.

Three small stones bounced three pheasants. They were lame on one foot and danced on the hills. Their eyes were wide open and their voices were shrill, as if they were saying "miserable! Miserable! They can't walk!"

The other pheasants came to their senses, flapped their wings, turned their heads and tried to escape, but they were still shot in the heels by the rocks behind them, and the last two also limped in place.

The other pheasants that had not landed on the hills couldn't help but began to feel lucky, and quickly fled into the reeds.

Nalanjing walked up the hill, picked up the pheasants on the ground one by one, tied their feet together with a piece of linen, and threw them into the basket on his back. His movements were smooth and smooth, and it was not too easy.

On the way back, she walked down the stream, and it was exactly where Rong Qianlai had brought the water. The stream was very clear, and if the water was clear, there would be no fish.

There are many mountain dolls in the village, and if there are fish in the stream, they have already come to catch them.

But she looked at the mud under the clear water and the little bits of water plants floating on the surface...

Nalanjing had a bold guess in her heart. She rolled up her trouser legs and went into the water with her backpack on her back. When she touched the stone on the stone wall, she pried it open and put her fingers into the hole in the stone wall. There was soft mud under her palm.

Going deeper and touching the slippery tail, she advanced another inch, pinched hard, picked up a loach and threw it into the basket.

She caught more than a dozen small loaches in this way, and then she got up with satisfaction, washed the mud in her hands, and went home with her basket on her back.

It was about mid-afternoon, and many farmers in the village had already gotten up and went to the fields. If it had been later, the sun would have been too strong and they wouldn't be able to do much.

Nalanjing hurried past with a basket on his back, and they only saw his back.

When she returned to the courtyard, she locked the courtyard door and put down her backpack after entering the main room.

Rong Qian heard the sound and ran out. Rong Yu also woke up at this time, and they were all in the main room.

When they were about to say, sister-in-law, why are you so early, they saw Nalanjing taking out one pheasant after another from the basket on his back. Five pheasants had their feet tied and were squatting on the ground, chirping.

this……

Doesn’t it seem like something you can do just by knowing how to hunt?

When hunting, the prey you hunt is either dead or half-dead. How can it still be so alive?

Nalanjing actually wanted to take the prey to the town to exchange for some money, so he specially made a slingshot to catch pheasants.

Seeing their surprised looks, he couldn't help but explain, and then gave the basket to Rong Qian: "Go dig a hole in the backyard, pour a bucket of water into it, and put these loaches in it to raise. We will have loach porridge for lunch.

"

Rong Qian had not recovered from the impact of the pheasant. When he heard the loach porridge, he looked at Rong Yu with a confused look. Where did the rice come from? Where did the loach come from?

Rong Yu had already looked at the basket on his back. There were more than a dozen loaches in it...

Loach, a wild animal, was not a delicacy that you could often eat even in Shangjing. You couldn't buy it in the house, so you could only eat it in restaurants, and you had to make a reservation in advance.

They don’t understand that everyone wakes up after sleeping! Why did Nalanjing come back after catching pheasants and loaches...

It's simply contrary to common sense!

Seeing Rong Qian dumbfounded, Nalan Jing couldn't help frowning: "If you delay any longer, they will die, and they will no longer be fresh by lunch."

Rong Qian sighed and went to dig a hole in the backyard with his backpack.

When Nalanjing went to the kitchen, the child would definitely cry out that she was hungry when she woke up. She had to cook breakfast in advance so that she could go to town with peace of mind.

Yesterday's whole grains were eaten by the whole family in one meal, leaving only six sweet potatoes.

She washed the sweet potatoes, and because she didn't have a knife, she ground the skin with a stone, broke them into several pieces, threw them into earthen jars, and boiled them in water. When the sweet potatoes were cooked, they could be fished out and eaten, and they could also drink sweet potato soup.

While the water was boiling, she took the time to look at Rong Xuan.

Rong Yu was guarding Rong Xuan. He was doing nothing and muttered something, as if he was endorsing something. Nalan Jing was surprised when he walked in front of him.

Nalanjing didn't say much else, and began to take Rong Xuan's pulse. His pulse was indeed stronger, but there was no sign of waking up yet.

Nalanjing couldn't help but frown. Was it his unconscious behavior to hold her wrist when he woke up last night?

Rong Yu stood up: "Sister-in-law, is there something wrong with my elder brother?"

Nalanjing originally wanted to tell them about Rong Xuan waking up last night, but at this time he thought it was better to keep quiet. If Rong Xuan still didn't wake up in ten days and a half, they would all be very disappointed. It would be better to leave it like this.

Nalanjing: "It's okay. It's just that the breath is obviously stronger. There is a high hope of waking up."
