This village is very different from her previous life.
Although there will be some frivolous remarks, they are just petty remarks and will not hurt people completely. Most of them are laughed off.
Thinking about all these years, she has always lived in the strange eyes of others. It is really rare to live such a relaxed and simple life like now.
There are many things that the Demon Lady no longer thinks about. Perhaps because she is lingering on the edge of death, she takes everything very lightly.
Now, after she has finished drying the fluffy quilt and put away what needs to be packed away, she will roll up the blanket and sit in the small courtyard facing the sun, rocking to sleep.
She didn't want to go back, not that she wanted to escape, but she simply fell in love with this remote mountain village.
If nothing else happens, she will retire here...
Jing Boran didn't ask when the Demon Lady left. In the past, when he returned to the house after chopping firewood, it was always empty. But now it's better. No matter how late he comes back, he always has a bowl of hot porridge to drink.
However, what troubles him most is that he has not gotten back a chicken yet.
Jing Boran thought about it and slapped the bowl and chopsticks on the table: "I have decided, I want to go hunting!"
The demon girl turned her head and glanced at him.
Jing Boran's face was full of excitement.
The demon mother really didn't want to dampen the child's enthusiasm, so she curled her thin lips and said with a smile: "This is indeed a good idea."
Jing Boran sat up straight, his whole body shining with the light of "Yeah, yeah!"
The demon girl put down the white bowl she had washed in her hand and coughed lightly, "But first, you need a bow and arrow."
Jing Boran's body is a bit sloppy, but he is very fast!
His eyes lit up again: "I can borrow it from Lao Zhang's house, no, exchange it. If I exchange it with the bacon on my hand, he can always let me use it for one night. I'll go now!"
Jing Boran ran faster than a rabbit, and before the Demon Lady could stop him, others rushed out.
After a while, Jing Boran got back the bow and arrows, with uncontrollable joy on his face.
But here comes the point!
He has never used a bow and arrow, how can he handle it?
Jing Boran began to meditate on a bow and an arrow.
Finally, I planned to try the pulling method I saw before, but I found that something that looks very simple on the surface is actually very difficult to do.
The bowstring was so tight that his thumb was red. None of the arrows he shot hit the target. And whether it was due to his technique, the arrows couldn't fly far at all.
In this case, how to hunt pheasants?
Jing Boran dropped his shoulders, his mood obviously reaching the bottom.
At this moment, a hand stretched out. The hand was as white as jade, with sharp knuckles. It clasped the arrow in his palm with long and powerful force. After taking it, the wooden bow was fully drawn in an instant.
Whoosh!
One arrow to the center!
Clean and neat!
Not even unnecessary noise!
Her posture is very standard, so standard that she is handsome.
Looking from the direction of Jing Boran, he could only see the dim light shining on the side of her face, as if it could shine with a dazzling light.
"The elasticity of this bow is not very good. I'll tighten it again later." The demon girl smiled lightly and still said: "We still need a few wooden arrows. Since we are going hunting, we will bring back more new year's goods. One arrow is not enough, at least
I want twenty."
Jing Boran nodded while listening, the little stars in his eyes never stopped.
It is normal for a woman to read a lot, but there are very few women who are so talented in literature and martial arts and are not proud in front of others.
Sure enough, he is not an ordinary person.
Jing Boran glanced at the Demon Girl again, and without saying anything, he took the dry branch from the Demon Girl's hand, cut off the tail and left the tip. Before long, twenty wooden arrows were ready.
Although these wooden arrows are not as good as the elite ones in the military camp, they are enough for the Demon Lady. Her archery skills were the best in the entire capital back then, so hunting some pheasants is no problem.
Twenty arrows brought back eleven pheasants, six rabbits, and three wild boars.
When hunting a wild boar, the Demon Girl's hand is the best. If I use today's words to describe it, it's like a headshot with one shot.
Later, when she got tired, she shot a few rabbits. The rabbits were stupid and slow to react.
However, she did not shoot them to death.
Of course, it's not because she's kind or anything.
She has lived until now and has experienced so much that she has long forgotten what a good person should do.
The main reason why she didn't shoot those rabbits to death was because she was afraid that if she touched those rabbits again, Jing Boran would cry to her...
Jing Boran:……
"These chickens are enough to eat. We can keep these rabbits first and feed them some grass." Jing Boran looked seriously to reduce the trouble caused by the rabbits. For some reason, he felt that she didn't like trouble.
people.
The devil girl thought of it and said, "Let them give birth to more rabbits next year, which will be convenient for them to eat."
Jing Boran:……
The two people's thoughts are not on the same plane, but this does not affect the two people's relationship.
The demon girl divided up the things she hunted one by one. She kept five chickens for herself, and gave the rest to her fellow villagers and neighbors in small pieces.
In fact, there are only a few houses in this mountain, and Aunt Li's share was delivered by the Demon Lady herself. She was smiling, but her eyes were cold, which made Aunt Li afraid of this person from the bottom of her heart.
Finally there were three wild boars left.
Don't underestimate these wild boars, one can be sold for a lot of money.
It is approaching the New Year, and the wild boar hunted by Jing Boran is fresh, so the price is also affordable.
Naturally, there were many people buying. Jing Boran took three pigs to the city, and they were robbed as soon as he got out of the car.
After he came back, he gave all the money to the devil's wife.
The demon girl didn't answer and asked him to keep it.
Jing Boran said "Oh..." and he really did stay, but he stayed in the hands of the devil.
The demon girl watched him start to sort out the bacon and roast chicken. She didn't push the money back and forth, and asked casually: "What are you doing with so many things?"
Jing Boran smiled with a clean face: "I'm going to give New Year's gifts to my brother."
"Do you have a younger brother?" It's no wonder that the demon lady has doubts. Looking left and right, the two thatched cottages don't look like anyone else is living in them. Moreover, she knows all the people in the village and has never heard of which one.
His younger brother.
When Jing Boran talks about his younger brother, his eyes light up: "He lives in the capital now. Do you know that this year's second place winner is my younger brother!"
"Oh?" The devil's hand holding the porcelain cup paused. The younger brother was ranked second, but the older brother lived in a thatched house and ate dried sweet potatoes.
Ha, this is interesting...
Jing Boran opened his mouth, as if he thought of something, and then said: "How about you go to the capital with me?"
