Tang Shiyue continued to poke the knife: "So, Xiao Qiangzi, you are just an armchair strategist, right? You know how to lasso, but you have never caught a rabbit, you know how to set traps, but you have never caught a wild beast, so you rely on your bow and arrow to sell your strength.
Well, we often encounter the cooked ones... No, the prey that was shot ran away again, or the small ones came out and the old ones came out, and a group of them ran away after being shot, and in the end they could only be left alone.
escape……"
She spoke slowly while observing his expression, and then said happily: "Am I right? So you learned a lot of professional knowledge in vain, but you were unlucky, and you won't have the biggest gain from childhood to adulthood.
, is that the purple mushroom that you sold yourself to forcibly from me, right? Hey, I seem to be right again, isn’t it, little Qiangzi?”
He couldn't bear it anymore: "Prayer, prayer of prayer, banner of banners. My name."
Qi Jing? Not Qi Jing?
Okay, the name is not important. Tang Shiyue said: "Xiao Qizi, so what I said is right?"
Qi Jing took a long breath, turned around and left.
Tang Shiyue said: "Stop." He took two more steps before stopping. Tang Shiyue smiled and said: "Little Qizi, why don't we make a bet."
He half-turned around, looked at her, and Tang Shiyue said, "I bet that this lasso I set up will catch a rabbit this afternoon. Do you dare to bet with me?"
He hesitated for a moment and glanced at the lasso, which in his eyes was a complete joke: "What are you betting on?"
"If I can catch one hare with my rope, you will do me a favor later. If you catch two, it will be two favors. Three will be three favors. Four will be..."
He interrupted her: "What's the deal?"
She didn't know what she could do with him, but he seemed to have very good skills, especially when he jumped so high and had some gravity-defying properties. Maybe he could be used in the future, so she said, "I don't know yet.
, in short, it must not be a big thing, just something that can be done with a little effort."
He thought for a moment, "What if there is no rabbit?"
She said cheerfully: "Then let me do you a favor, and it's something I can do with a little effort."
Qi Jing nodded: "Okay."
He continued to walk up the mountain. Tang Shiyue had no fixed place to go anyway, so she followed him. Qi Jing walked briskly without looking back. She disappeared after a while, and she didn't care.
She was just like traveling around. When she was tired, she sat down, ate half of the biscuits, rested for a while, found a small bamboo forest, and carefully cut off the tips of most of the basket of tender bamboo shoots, ready to go back to stir-fry rabbit meat.
Eat. I also found a wild gourd. Although it was inedible, a few of the dried gourds could be split into water scoops, and the long, smooth and round ones could also be used as kettles.
When she was about to go down the mountain, she saw a small piece of black mushroom. Although she couldn't tell what it was called, it was said that bright mushrooms are poisonous. Is this kind of mushroom okay?
She squatted down and picked off the entire piece.
There was a hand beside him, silently handing over a clean hunting bag. Tang Shiyue was not polite and took it after thanking him. While pretending, he asked: "Xiao Qizi, do you know what this is called? Is it delicious?
?”
"Black tiger palm fungus." Qi Jing said slowly: "It is said that one tael of fungi is worth one tael of gold. Although it is not actually that expensive, these can still be sold for seven or eight taels of silver."
"Oh!" Tang Shiyue said calmly: "How to eat it?"
Qi Jing said: "You can cook meat or make soup. The aroma is very strong. It has the effect of chasing wind and dispersing cold, relaxing muscles and activating blood circulation. Taking it can relieve worries. There is also a saying, 'Tiger Palm Mushroom as a side dish will not go rancid in three days.'"
'. Moreover, it is extremely nourishing for those who are weak."
"Okay," Tang Shiyue said, "Cook the meat and make the soup, I got it."
After he said so much, she only remembered that she could cook meat and make soup?
Qi Jing didn't speak anymore. The two of them walked down the mountain in silence, and then walked to the place where the noose was. As Tang Shiyue walked over, he took off the basket and prepared to collect the rabbit. Qi Jing didn't think that such a crude trap could really be caught.
Rabbit just glanced at it obligingly.
Then he opened his eyes in shock.
Tang Shiyue was not surprised at all. She was careful not to damage the grass and untied the rabbits from the rope. She also felt a little regretful: "There are only three..."
She dragged the three rabbits over with great effort, and was not surprised to see the confused expression of the young boy Qi Jing: "Who am I, where am I, and what am I doing?"
This honest kid must have been deeply impacted, and had deep doubts about his past professional knowledge.
Well, I live just to attack you! Let you snatch my Zizhi!
Tang Shiyue smiled lightly and said: "Xiao Qizi, have you spotted them correctly? Three!"
Qi Jing quickly returned to his old-fashioned and serious expression: "You see, I won't default on your debt. Also, don't call me little Qi Zi."
"Okay, little Qizi," she said, "Come on, here comes the first request. Carry this down the mountain for me."
This rabbit weighs seven or eight pounds each, and she is also carrying a basket of vegetables. She really can't carry it.
Qi Jing was silent, neatly stringing up the hare and carrying it down the mountain. It was still dark when she entered the village, so Qi Jing put the rabbit in her yard, hesitated, and glanced at her.
Tang Shiyue pretended not to understand his look and directly gestured for him to disappear quickly. He really turned around and left.
She doesn't want to mess with someone like the village grass. Whether he has prey is none of her business. Doesn't his wife's fan come to the door every day to bring warmth? If he has the ambition to not want this, then he definitely won't want her.
Yes, just saved!
As soon as he left, Tang Guihua ran over and said with a glare: "What did the young man of the Qi family do at your house?"
"Young Master? What Young Master?" Tang Shiyue looked confused: "I just came back and no one has been to the house?"
Tang Guihua was dubious, glanced at the courtyard, and then shouted: "You came back from hunting rabbits? Then I will take two to eat!" She stepped forward as a matter of course and reached out to pick them up.
Tang Shiyue stood in front of her calmly, pretending to just remember: "Oh, by the way, there seemed to be a person passing by the door just now. If you hurry up and catch up, you should be able to catch up."
Tang Osmanthus hesitated for a moment.
Apparently the handsome man was more attractive, so she actually turned around and ran after him.
At this time, the people working in the house also heard the sound. Mrs. Zhou was not good at needlework and did not come over. These three are all aunts from the same clan, and they all looked a little unhappy on their faces.
Tang Shiyue pretended not to notice and said hello with a smile.
This helper agreed not to take care of food, so Tang Shiyue gave each of them a ten-cent copper coin, and the other person pulled a big leaf, wrapped a few bamboo shoot tips, two pieces of black tiger palm fungus, and said: "Thank you aunts for your help."
, take this back and make soup."
The sharp-eyed Lady Liu exclaimed: "This is not..."
She swallowed and her eyes flickered. Tang Shiyue smiled and said: "Our family has nothing to give as a gift. I heard that the tiger palm fungus tastes good and the nobles in the town also like it. Auntie, please don't dislike it."
Madam Liu thought she didn't know Tang Shiyue and wanted to take advantage of him, but she didn't expect that the little girl had a clear conscience.
Madam Liu blushed and refused again and again, but Tang Shiyue insisted on giving it. The black tiger palm fungus was not common and the remaining two aunts didn't know it, but after hearing what they said back and forth, they understood that the fungus was probably not
It was cheap, so I immediately put away the unhappiness in my heart, I just felt that this little girl knew how to be a good person.
Tang Shiyue said again: "Aunts, come back tomorrow."
The three of them responded, and Tang Shiyue walked to the door and said, "Aunt Liu, please stop for a moment. Yue'er has something to trouble you."
Madam Liu stopped with a blushing face, and Tang Shiyue said: "I would like to ask your second uncle and Aunt Zhou's fourth uncle to do me a favor tomorrow."
I just happened to hunt a rabbit today, so that was easy to explain. She was thinking that Tang Yongfu helped find this old house, and this was a hidden concern, so she planned to find two people from the village to tell them.
The person who spoke came to thank Tang Yongfu on their behalf, to repay the debt of gratitude, and at the same time, he also brought the matter to light, so that if there was an eventuality in the future, he might as well clear it up. At the same time, if He
If you are smart, you should know it well.
In addition, the second point is that giving them two dollars is equivalent to renting this house.
This house was originally a shabby house with no one living in it, and Mrs. Sun would definitely agree to it. In this way, it would be legitimate for them to live here, and they could move in or out.
This is a small matter, Mrs. Liu nodded in agreement, and Tang Shiyue said again: "I will not be at home today, will my family cause any trouble to you?" (To be continued)
