Chapter 25 That's Not What I Meant

Liu Qianjin followed Xia Zhi majestically, holding two fire sticks, and the two of them went straight to the reed marsh.

Others don't know, but she knows.

Although this reed marsh is dangerous, it is a good place.

In addition to the reeds in the reed marsh, you can take them back to weave mats, baskets, and many other utensils.

There is water and silt in the reed marsh, and the silt can be used for composting, and of course it can also kill people invisibly.

The most important thing is that some wild ducks live here.

If you are lucky, you may even dig lotus roots in the reed marsh.

Xia Zhi brought Liu Qianjin to the edge of the reed marsh, and Liu Qianjin asked in surprise.

"Xiao Xia, we already have mats, why are we here again? Are we still weaving mats?"

Xia Zhi smiled.

"Liu Qianjin, let's not weave mats. Let's make some delicious food this time to improve our lives at noon."

Xia Zhi deliberately found a few slender red ash branches on the way.

Sure enough, after slapping the reeds a few times, wild ducks flew up immediately.

Wild ducks don’t fly high, but they don’t fly low either.

It’s not easy to catch them.

There’s no need to think about eating meat, but when Xia Zhi saw the wild ducks, he immediately smiled.

Liu Qianjin was a little excited, clapping his hands and staring at the wild ducks.

“Xiao Xia, birds! There are big birds.”

“Liu Qianjin, this is not a big bird, it’s a duck, this is a wild duck, it flies very fast.

We can’t catch it.

But I’m telling you that you can’t just come casually in the reed marsh. You see, if you step into the mud, you can’t get out.”

Xia Zhi suddenly remembered that Liu Qianjin had the IQ of a child of a few years old. He was afraid that he would do the same thing if he took him to do such a dangerous thing.

He hurriedly warned Liu Qianjin.

Liu Qianjin didn’t believe it when he heard it, and he stared at the mud.

Xia Zhi was afraid that he would really sneak in by himself. In the previous life, Qianjin was left because the dam leaked.

He didn't want Liu Qianjin to be in danger because of him again.

He hurriedly picked up the branch and inserted it into the mud with force.

Liu Qianjin watched the branch slowly fall into the mud after being inserted into the mud.

Then it was dragged into the deep mud.

Liu Qianjin was shocked.

"Xiao Xia, the branch was eaten by the mud."

"Did you see that such a light branch was eaten by the mud? If you are as heavy as you, do you think you will be eaten by the mud after falling in?"

Liu Qianjin took two steps back after hearing this. He didn't have any idea about the wild duck at this moment.

"It will be eaten. I don't want to be eaten by the mud."

"By the way, remember that you must not come here alone. Don't touch the mud easily."

Xia Zhi's very serious expression made Liu Qianjin nod solemnly. His mother told him that he should not try anything dangerous.

"I will definitely not come, and I will not touch the mud. I will never like mud again. Mud can eat people!"

"By the way, remember that mud can eat people."

"Xiao Xia, what are we doing here? Let's go back quickly. I'm afraid of mud!"

"You can't go to the mud, but there are some places you can go."

Xia Zhi used branches to explore the way.

The place where hard branches can't be inserted is the safest place for them.

Wild ducks are not stupid. They will not lay eggs in the soft mud.

Otherwise, their offspring will also be trapped in the mud.

The two people found two nests of duck eggs in a short time.

Xia Zhi quickly cut some reeds and wove them into a small basket. The weaving speed was fast.

The two nests of duck eggs together, there were five or six duck eggs, which were much larger than chicken eggs.

Although it tasted a bit fishy, ​​people didn't have much meat these days, and duck eggs were good things.

Seeing the duck eggs, Liu Qianjin immediately showed a childlike satisfied smile on his face.

"Xiao Xia, how are you so good? How did you know there are bird eggs here? This bird egg is so big!"

"See, you can't just barge in here!

You must try with branches, and only walk on the road that can't be inserted, otherwise you must never walk around."

Xia Zhi still has to teach Liu Qianjin slowly, which is better than Liu Qianjin running here for duck eggs.

"I won't come. If I want to eat bird eggs, I will ask Xiao Xia to come. Xiao Xia is capable."

Xia Zhi was happy after hearing this. Liu Qianjin really treats him like an older sister.

Finding duck eggs is also a major task completed today.

Take Liu Qianjin back to the dugout in a heroic and high-spirited manner.

Liu Qianjin followed them directly to the dugout.

Help Xia Zhi to light the fire. The earthen stove here needs a bellows.

Not to mention that Liu Qianjin is really good at lighting a fire.

Xia Zhi cleaned the iron pot and boiled water.

Using a lunch box, he stirred some white flour and prepared to make noodle soup.

This noodle dumpling soup is simple and easy, and it is the most suitable for them now that they don’t have much seasoning.

Liu Zhiyan gave a little surprise. She actually took out sugar, salt, and sesame oil from her backpack. The most important thing is that she also brought a lunch box of lard.

The lard was frozen solid in the lunch box in the cold weather, and it didn’t leak at all, and it was packed tightly.

More importantly, it is obvious that this girl has a good living condition.

When her parents left, they brought her a lot of things. Just taking out the various pickles in these cans, pickled vegetables are all good things that can solve their food problem at present.

Xia Zhi blushed a little when she saw this thing, as if she was taking advantage of Liu Zhiyan now.

"No, these are your precious things, so you'd better put them away."

Xia Zhi carefully examined herself. She objectively drew clear boundaries and could not violate her own principles.

You cannot say one thing and do another.

"Come on, we eat in the same pot. Do you think I have to secretly dig a spoonful of lard into my own bowl every day behind your back? Do you think I am a solitary eater?"

Besides, you saved my life on the train. What’s the life-saving grace?

Will you settle the score with my brother this time? "

This is Liu Zhiyan's point. She obviously doesn't leave things behind after taking them, but she loves to play off others and show off her superiority.

"You will definitely have to settle the accounts with your own brothers. It's definitely not appropriate for you to eat these things alone.

Well, you contributed these things. I'm going to buy things at the bus station tomorrow, and I'll buy the other condiments at home by then. "

Xia Zhi is not a stingy person, and she is not willing to take advantage of others. She has money, various tickets, and food stamps.

Liu Zhiyan was a little annoyed when she heard this. She originally hoped that Xia Zhi would not be so clearly separated from her.

I always felt that Xia Zhi was kind to Liu Qianjin, that she had no complaints or regrets, and never cared about her, but she was a little worried about herself.

Who knew that Xia Zhi would have to spend more money? Of course, she knew that Xia Zhi definitely didn't have much money on her. She was wearing clothes like this and had no food on the road. How could she have any money?

"Xia Zhi, if you do this, you don't treat me as a friend. That's not what I meant at all. I'm not asking you to give it back to me."

"I treat you as a friend, but I can't deliberately take advantage of you just because you are my friend. That way you won't like me either."

Xia Zhi smiled.

There must be a sense of propriety between friends. She and Liu Zhiyan still couldn't achieve the kind of close friendship between best friends. Besides, she didn't have any best friends in her previous life.
