Chapter 34 Greedy
I don't know how long it took, but when He Tiantian woke up, she found that she was sleeping on a big rock. This stinking snake king still had a conscience and didn't let her lie on the dirt.
He Tiantian stood up and stretched, and found that not only did she not feel weak or dizzy, but she felt relaxed and energetic.
If you lose blood, shouldn't you feel dizzy?
She is so energetic and energetic, isn't it scientific?
Thinking of this, He Tiantian laughed in surprise. The appearance of the Snake King was the most unscientific, so it could not be explained by ordinary inferences.
Look at the snake king on the side who has also woken up. He was originally only as long as a chopstick, but now he is as long as a chopstick and a half, half as long. It seems that her blood is really a great tonic. I wonder if she will become a monster if this continues?
"You're full, are we going to catch rabbits?" He Tiantian looked up and looked at the sunlight coming in. It was no longer hot. It must have been afternoon and it was time to go back.
The Snake King became more arrogant again, raised his head slightly, glanced at He Tiantian not far away, but said nothing.
He Tiantian followed the snake king's eyes and was immediately delighted. There were three big rabbits, all fat and big, and there were two pheasants next to them.
"Oh my, Snake King, you are so powerful." He Tiantian stepped forward and stuffed the rabbits and pheasants into the basket, praising the Snake King for his greatness.
The Snake King didn't look at He Tiantian's shallow eyelids and turned his head to look away. For the sake of He Tiantian's possession of the holy blood, let's tolerate it for the time being.
"Let's go, it's getting late." Seeing that the Snake King was unwilling to leave the puddle, He Tiantian said insincerely, "If you don't want to leave, I can pick you up tomorrow."
"Hmph!" Little Silver Snake said arrogantly, "It's not that easy if you want to get rid of me!"
With a "swish", it flew to He Tiantian's body and returned to He Tiantian's ankle.
He Tiantian used to feel a little scared, but now she is not scared at all. Instead, she is grateful that the little silver snake can revive her and catch her so much game, which is enough to make up for the worry and fear of losing blood.
With so many things in the basket, He Tiantian didn't even bother to pick wild dates.
After leaving the cave, He Tiantian returned to the foot of the mountain carrying a large basket of grass and a basket. She happened to meet Old Qi who was returning from herding cattle on the road.
Old Man Qi sniffed, looked at He Tiantian's basket covered with grass, and said, "Why does it smell like blood?"
"No, Grandpa Qi, I made the trap and caught three rabbits and two pheasants." He Tiantian said in surprise, "I haven't eaten meat for a long time, I'm a little greedy..."
"Haha!" Old Man Qi laughed in surprise, "Who doesn't want to eat meat! But you are quite lucky to have caught so many."
He Tiantian did not dare to take it lightly and asked: "It's quite lucky. I just shot it from the mountain. Do you want to hand it over to the village?"
"No need to hand it over." Old Man Qi said, "These are quite a lot for you, but they are nothing to the village, and you can't divide them if you hand them over. Whatever other people catch in the mountains, they are all their own. The reason is that if you catch a rabbit, you have to hand it over.”
He Tiantian thought for a while and said: "Grandpa Qi, there are so many, and Third Grandma and I can't finish them. Why don't we go to the animal husbandry team later, I'll pack them up, leave one for you, and one for Aunt Liu. Rabbit After cleaning the skin, three rabbits can be used to make a fur coat."
Old Man Qi raised his beard and said with a smile: "You girl, you still know how to bribe us. Okay, I won't take your stuff for nothing. Give me a rabbit. I still have a few feet of cloth coupons. You can take it and pull some." Make a dress out of cloth.”
"Grandpa Qi, you can't do this. You already gave me brown sugar before. This cloth ticket is very precious and I can't take it." He Tiantian declined, "If Grandpa Qi feels bad, let me put the rabbit skin on you." Let it dry here so that no one can take it back and see it.”
"Okay!" Old Man Qi said, "No one dares to say anything about those things at my place. As for your Aunt Liu, I will also tell her and ask her not to talk outside."
"Aunt Liu is not stupid. She has benefited, so she won't tell anyone outside." He Tiantian said, figuring out Aunt Liu's temperament.
Sure enough, Aunt Liu was very envious when she saw He Tiantian brought so many rabbits and pheasants. When I heard He Tiantian say that he would give her a rabbit, I became even more happy, and the eyes she looked at He Tiantian were even more kind!
Aunt Liu volunteered to help He Tiantian clean up wild rabbits and pheasants.
"Uncle Qi just told me not to talk outside. Sweet girl, I can't thank you enough for giving me the rabbit. How can I talk nonsense outside and cause trouble for you." Aunt Liu said, she I don’t want anyone to be jealous if I have rabbit meat in my house.
"That's good." He Tiantian said, "Everyone is short of meat now. If others know that we can catch rabbits by mowing grass in the mountains, they will think it is a good job and make sarcastic remarks. In the future, we will not work so easily here. ”
"That's what you said." Aunt Liu agreed and thought for a moment, "Sweet girl, how about this, let's fry half of the rabbits you gave me and pickle half of them at Uncle Qi's place. I'll take them when the vegetables are cold. Go back and eat it when it’s hot. Otherwise, if you fry it at home, the aroma will spread far away and others will be able to smell the meat without me having to tell you.”
He Tiantian was relieved. Aunt Liu was more cautious than her. How could she say it outside?
"Aunt Liu, if you think carefully, then do this." He Tiantian said, "Anyway, there is an empty room over there, and you can put the marinated meat here, and no one will know."
He Tiantian split the three rabbits into two halves, hung up the big halves with heads to marinate, and fried the three small halves without heads together. The two pheasants were also marinated by He Tiantian and hung together to air dry.
Afterwards, Aunt Liu found two small porcelain basins at Old Man Qi's place, filled each with a small half basin of rabbit meat, and took them home.
Old Man Qi was also very happy. He took out half a bottle of wine left over from the New Year, and ate and drank with the braised rabbit meat, enjoying it. Oh, if I could live like this every day, that would be great.
Aunt Liu went back and said that they were the two rabbits that Old Man Qi caught, and gave some to her, but she didn't say anything about He Tiantian.
Grandma Qi San had bad teeth, so He Tiantian picked the meat off the bones, tore it into shreds, and put it in her corn paste.
"Oh, since you came, I've eaten meat twice in a row." Grandma Qi San said, "It's all thanks to you!"
In fact, Grandma Qi San couldn't eat much, most of it went into He Tiantian's stomach.
"Haha, Grandma Qi, you only ate a few pieces, but I ate them all." He Tiantian said, "Anyway, it's from the mountain. I'm really lucky to catch it. If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have lived so easily in Qijia Village."
Other young people in the city work so hard that they are exhausted. Although they can work for a few days and rest for two days, their work is still harder than He Tiantian's.
Now He Tiantian not only has light work, but also has good work points, and can often go up the mountain to eat. She lives a good life and is very satisfied.
The editor said that there will be two updates for three consecutive days on the 14th, so I will update alone today········saving manuscripts·········crawl away with the pot cover······
If you are a new friend who is short of books, you can go and read Qiqi's two completed novels "Wine Wife" and "A Simple Woman", both of which are conscientious works, hahaha.
