Chapter 3 [Hungry]

 A group of sparrows flew towards the village. After a series of rapid changes, the flight genes of Cheng Yu's sparrow body were fully activated. At this time, his flying skills were no less than those of ordinary adult birds.

At the entrance of Zhuangkou, I met Cheng Yu's sparrow lady. She chirped urgently, and several female sparrows jumped out from the side of the black coal head and chirped in response.

In just one round, the old bird lady and the old female birds flew towards the wheat field outside the village, talking and laughing.

At some point, Heitan Tou flew beside Cheng Yu with a squirming green flesh insect in his mouth, making the two girls on the other side drool with greed.

Good guy!

Meatworms with this kind of appearance must have soft, tender and juicy meat. She has never seen such a good appearance, let alone eating it, even if she is so big. If she can get a bite...

As the two girls flew, their two little bird eyes never left the flesh insect, and they almost hit the tree several times.

The three birds landed together on the thatched roof where Cheng Yu had squatted before. Hei Tantou dropped the big meat insect in front of Cheng Yu and started chirping.

This...

It's not impossible to marry Jinlan, but it's not necessary to share the blessings, right?

……

In the end, Cheng Yu stuck to his principles.

After all, his surname is not Bei, let alone De.

He didn't even touch the good meat insect. Instead, he pointed the two halves of the grasshopper betrothal that he had kicked off the roof to Heitan Head with his claws.

Heitan Tou thought this was a token of sworn loyalty given to him by Cheng Yu in return. He couldn't help but burst into joy. He jumped to the eaves, picked up half of the bird and ate it on the spot, swallowing it in two or two mouthfuls.

Then he chirped at Cheng Yu a few times, picked up the other half, turned around and flew away.

Huh?

Don't leave!

Cheng Yu couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.

Of course it’s okay to report your name when something happens in the village in the future, but what about this second girl who is both strong and able to lay eggs?

……

At this moment, on the roof of Gu Er's house, the world of Two Birds is awkwardly quiet.

The second girl meowed softly a few times, jumped back and forth a few times, and pouted the fur on her tail to show off her good figure to Cheng Yu.

These two girls are quite strong and strong, and they look like they are good at raising children. They should be the most popular among farm birds.

It's a pity that Cheng Yu is not an ordinary farm bird, and they have completely different aesthetics.

Go!

Cheng Yu kicked the big meat worm under his feet to her with his claws. The two girls were ecstatic, picked up the meat worm and jumped towards Cheng Yu, intending to eat the worm with him.

"Chirp!"

Cheng Yu raised his wings and roared, turned around and jumped in the other direction.

The second girl was stunned on the roof, and the big meat insect that was still alive twisted away from her mouth and fell on the roof.

She was as motionless as a clay sculpture, just staring aggrievedly at Cheng Yu's leaving figure.

Died again...

……

Cheng Yu watched the two girls fly away with the meat insects in their mouths, and then flew back to the thatched roof.

Looking at the sun, it was almost noon, and suddenly there was a sound under my feet.

Cheng Yu looked down and saw that in a simple farmyard, the black dog that had just attacked him was lying in the corner and taking a nap in the sun.

It was this black guy who almost killed me just now.

Cheng Yu thought about it for a while, and after a brief observation, he quietly flew to the top of the earth wall where the black native dog was leaning.

There were only a few scattered stones piled up on the top of the wall for support. He chose a loose piece among them, pushed it with his back and pushed it towards the bottom of the wall where the native dog was lying.

"Thump!"

"Woof woof woof..."

The native dog was not hit hard, but it was quite frightened. It bounced three feet high. After landing, it was not clear where the attack came from, so it could only spin around and raise its head and howl in all directions.

This commotion frightened a stout village woman in the house. She looked over and saw that her dog was messing around in the yard. After scolding her, she continued to put several objects on the chopping board into a large stoneware bowl one by one.<

/p>

The light in the room was dim, and Cheng Yu could only vaguely make out those objects, which were dark and steaming. There were about four or five objects, and they looked like wotou.

Looking at the stout village woman, she was dressed in black coarse cloth, patched one after another, and had not been starched for a long time. There was no pattern at all that could be used by Cheng Yu to refer to the dynasty background.

"Gu'ers, please come with me to the field to deliver food."

Another thick black woman stood outside the fence and shouted into the courtyard.

Cheng Yu's heart moved when he heard this, and he realized at this moment that he could understand both human speech and bird speech.

Gu Erjia in the house responded, quickly put the large stoneware bowl into the rattan basket and picked it up. In his right hand, he carefully picked up a brown stoneware glaze jar, held it tightly in his arms, and carefully poured it out.

It's like holding a several-month-old baby.

The sound of sloshing water came from the clay pot.

The village woman waiting outside the hospital looked into Gu Erjia's arms and said casually:

"Hey, your family has accumulated a lot of water today."

The Gu family didn't answer, they just closed the firewood door with their feet, and the wives of the two families walked towards the outside of the village.

Well...

The breath of life is rich, but...

Why do I, a good young man, come here to be a fool?

Can I go back in time if I die again?

Cheng Yu was unsure. After all, he was struck to death by lightning in his previous life. Even if he could travel back in time, would he still be the same person?

Phew...

Cheng Yu subconsciously picked up a piece of thatch again, holding it in the corner of his mouth, looking into the distance in a daze.

……

In the blink of an eye, after the sun set over the western mountains, the sky gradually darkened, and the chirping sounds of the sparrows gathered near their nests gradually became thinner.

Lady Que flew back from outside and burped to greet Cheng Yu to go back to the nest to rest. She had a full belly after eating outside, but she didn't know that Cheng Yu had not eaten enough water or rice that day and was already so hungry that he was shaking.

At this time, smoke was rising from the thatched house under his feet. While it was still dark, Cheng Yu flew to a safer corner of the courtyard, wondering if he could find a chance to eat some of his leftovers.
p>

There are only two people in the house, a man and a woman. The man is Gu Er, who looks more than thirty or forty. He is sitting on the edge of the kang and watching his mother-in-law working in front of the stove.

Gu Er's wife opened the lid of the pot, scooped out a bowl of steaming boiling water, and carefully brought it to Gu Er.

Gu Er took it expressionlessly and let it dry for a while, blowing a few mouthfuls of cool air on the rim of the bowl, and drank it without worrying about burning his mouth.

Cheng Yu didn't expect that this family, even though they were living in poverty, still maintained a good habit of drinking boiled water.

According to his great-grandfather in his previous life, ordinary people drank boiled water on a daily basis, which became gradually popular after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

"Ah..."

After Gu Er finished drinking, he wiped his mouth, handed the bowl to his mother-in-law and said:

"I'll leave you a sip, drink it and rest early."

Gu's second daughter-in-law took the bowl and emptied it, not even missing the last few drops at the bottom of the bowl. Then she packed up, turned around and went out to close the gate outside the courtyard. She happened to meet a neighboring village woman passing by the door and asked her casually.

Tao:

"Gu Er's family, have you had dinner?"

"Ah, I've used it before. I just made some vegetable porridge to deal with my stomach... Four or six families, have you used it for dinner?"

"No, let's go back now. My family will eat thick porridge today."

Upon hearing this, Gu Er's daughter-in-law curled her lips invisibly and stopped answering. She closed the fence, turned around, closed the door, closed the kang, and bade Gu Er go to bed.

But Cheng Yu flew to her house with four or six village women, so that he could see what thick porridge was.

On a stove that was almost the same as that of Gu Er's family, the same smoke filled the air. Cheng Yu leaned on the courtyard wall and stretched his head to take a closer look. Unexpectedly, when the four or six families opened the pot lid, the so-called thick porridge inside was actually boiled water and rocks.

……

Cheng Yu was still hungry and refused to give in. He flew to the neighboring houses to visit, but the situation was similar to that of Gu Er's family.

It turns out that boiling water is not just for drinking, but more importantly, it is to produce some smoke so that neighbors know that one is cooking at night.

But only the family knows what's in the pot.

Cheng Yu didn't dare to fly too far away from Gu Er's family at the moment, so he didn't get to have dinner in the end.

During this period, I met a family that really drank porridge, but they could only afford one bowl of porridge for their strong labor force, and the bowl was licked cleaner than washed with water.

I had no choice but to peck a few drops of boiling water on the stove of a house with no dogs next door, to relieve my hunger a little, and after soothing my belly, I flew back to the roof of Gu Er's house.

Seeing Cheng Yu return to the nest, Lady Que chirped and greeted him to go back to the nest and rest.

Cheng Yu looked over and saw a Nestle hidden in a clump of thatch under the eaves.

Looking inside the nest again, a fishy stench came from it.

It was also mixed with feathers and bird droppings, which was really pickling.

Cheng Yu was filled with ten thousand rejections in his heart, and he ignored the old lady Que's chirping behind him. He found a fairly flat earth hole on the gable wall of the house, and took some clean and soft thatch into his mouth to lay it on.

The wind can block the rain, and there is no fishy smell.

Standing in front of the new nest he built, Cheng Yu looked down. The hole was very high from the ground, and the black native dog would definitely not be able to climb up.

When Mrs. Que saw that her youngest son had made up his mind to separate the families and live their own lives, she stopped forcing him and she felt at ease.

It's not completely dark yet, but all the birds in the village have already found their mothers and gone back to their homes.

The only sounds left in the originally lively village were the chirping of cicadas and the chirping of insects, as well as the occasional cry of children and barking of dogs.

Cheng Yu nestled in a dirt cave that was only allowed to turn around, with nothing to do, so he began to think about how he could beat this hellish difficulty opening.

Looking back on everything that happened in this short day, there are only two things that are gratifying:

First, he made friends with Heitantou, a wealthy family in the village. It is typical that you don’t get to know each other without fighting;

Secondly, I finally don’t have to be pestered by the second girl anymore.

If my will is not firm in the slightest today, I’m afraid I’ll have to step on my back next year...
