After a moment of relief, Ye Yuan finally recovered a little and said with lingering fear on his face.
"so close!"
"Although the consumption of martial arts is very small, this body is too weak, worse than ordinary people!"
When she didn't get a response from Ye Yuan, Ye Tingting became even more angry: OK, this brother started to completely ignore her sister when he grew up!
Just as she was about to pick up the stick by the door, two little little heads squeezed in from behind her, and at a glance they saw the bright red meat on the wooden board.
Suddenly, the eyes of the two little bean sprouts lit up, as if they smelled the fragrance of chicken again, and their saliva flowed out uncontrollably.
"Bliss..."
Attracted by the meat, the two little cubs used up all their strength to suck the milk, forced the eldest sister Ye Tingting away, and rushed to Ye Yuan's side.
"Brother... Bi Liu... what kind of meat is this? Bi Liu..."
"Brother..."
Ye Tingting calmed down a little after being disturbed by these two little beans. At the same time, she also saw Ye Yuan's pale face clearly, and she suddenly panicked:
"The look on his face is almost the same as when he was sick. This disobedient brother is probably suffering from a relapse of his condition."
"Besides, isn't he supposed to be working in the Yamen at this time? Why did he come back so early? The Yamen didn't want him, right?"
The more Ye Tingting thought about it, the more flustered she felt. She immediately ran to Ye Yuan's side and asked worriedly in her heart.
"How is your health?"
Ye Yuan knew that he must not speak directly at this time, he had to use some skills, otherwise... there would be no meat to eat in the future.
Therefore, Ye Yuan said "truthfully".
"It's nothing serious. Thanks to the pheasant meat, Uncle Qiu took me all over the jurisdiction starting from this morning. I didn't feel tired even after running all morning. Because I have to patrol in the evening, Uncle Qiu asked me to take a rest in the afternoon..."
Hearing this, Ye Tingting felt a little less worried, but remembering that Ye Yuan had made him look like this, she suddenly felt resentful in her heart.
Although she didn't say it out loud, Ye Yuan could clearly see the resentment surrounding her. He immediately changed his tone and continued.
"I was originally going to rest all afternoon, but I didn't eat well at noon, and I feel a little... weak. Thinking about it again, if I continue... at night, I might not be able to survive the patrol?"
This reason is... reasonable!
Ye Tingting was speechless.
She couldn't just ask Ye Yuan to patrol when he was hungry. You must know that it was night, and although few people came out for a walk, the hazy night alone was the most torturous.
Moreover, if a person does not eat meat for a long time, he will become blind.
As for my big family, although it is not that serious, they can't see clearly at night.
This will obviously delay work!
At this time, Qiu'er, who took advantage of every opportunity, asked persistently.
"Brother, what kind of beast is this?"
Ye Yuan glanced at Ye Tingting without any trace, and then answered.
"This is a pig badger..."
Pig badger?!!
It's that beast that is small in size but very powerful in combat!
Ye Tingting immediately exploded and glared at Ye Yuandao.
"What? How dare you provoke the pig badger? You're going to die!"
Her hands were ready to move again, wanting to grab a stick in her hand and give her disobedient brother a lesson in love.
Seeing the situation, Ye quickly "explained" with a sincere face.
"Injured, this pig-badger fell into a pit and broke his foot. I just got a good deal!"
Ye Tingting somewhat believed it.
After all, even Ye Yuan, who has just recovered from a serious illness, cannot hunt such a big animal!
Seeing the situation, Ye quickly continued to deepen the effect.
"The real prey is in the kitchen, this pig badger is just an unexpected surprise."
Only then did Ye Tingting believe it and said nothing more.
However, Ye Wen got into the kitchen, saw the prey, ran out and said happily.
"Brother, you also shot rabbits and pheasants!"
"Yes, they are all alive. It's best to find a place to keep them and eat them in two days."
"good."
Ye Wen and the two little Doudings were immediately very happy. After all, they would have meat to eat every day for a while.
Ye Tingting heard this and wanted to sell a few, but she noticed that the whole family was skinny, so she immediately softened her heart and silently packed up the divided pigs and badgers.
Ye's mother has always been reticent, but since her father's death, she has rarely spoken.
She just closed the courtyard door silently and worked with her eldest daughter. Looking at the three active and happy little guys, she couldn't help but smile.
Lying on the bamboo mat, Ye Yuan thought of nothing and was about to fall asleep.
His current task is to rest, and he does not need to worry about other things.
Moreover, he really needed to take a nap. He had consumed so much today that his body was really overwhelmed.
"You still need to learn internal skills..."
I don't know how long it took, but Ye Yuan vaguely smelled a strong aroma of meat, and his body's instinct immediately woke him up.
"This tastes...almost ripe!"
"Gu..."
The cry from his stomach made him completely awake, and even his physical weakness was pushed to the back.
At this time, eating meat has become a top priority!
Without anyone calling him, Ye Yuan rushed into the kitchen like a starving ghost reincarnated.
His eyes were focused, pointed directly at the big pot on the stove, and there was nothing else in his eyes.
Before anyone else could react, Ye Yuan took three steps at a time, picked up a pair of chopsticks and thrust them into the meat.
"Let me taste it first to see if it's cooked!"
The same excuse again!
Ye Tingting rolled her eyes helplessly, but did not stop her.
After a piece of stewed meat, Ye Yuan felt hot all over his body, as if he had come to life, and there was a lot of blood on his face.
so…
"People just want to eat meat. There is no way out just being vegetarian."
Qiu'er looked at Ye Yuan's delicious food and was intoxicated, and couldn't help but ask while picking up the pot.
"Brother, is it delicious?"
Ye Yuan smiled and did not answer. He just took out six bowls and each person scooped out a bowl and divided them.
Ye Yuan saw Ye Tingting frowning and said immediately.
"This pig and badger has a lot of meat. It's enough for the family to eat several meals. You don't have to be too economical. Besides, in this weather, the meat doesn't last long."
Obviously, this reason could not convince Ye Tingting, Ye Yuan continued.
"And the hares and pheasants won't last long, and they may even become thin after a few days, so don't save."
"Besides, eating meat to replenish your body is not a loss!"
I don’t know exactly what words moved Ye Tingting, but she finally started eating without any preaching.
In fact, since Ye's father died and Ye's mother became taciturn and did not take care of things, the eldest sister Ye Tingting became the head of the family.
An eighteen-year-old girl turned herself into a thirty- or forty-year-old mother, shouldering the burden of supporting her family!
