Chapter 6 Full harvest

The two pheasants were already caught by her before they could react.

Shen Xiu showed a satisfied smile, took out the rope from the basket, tied the two pheasants firmly, and then went to take a look at the place where they originally made their cries.

After she discovered that the two pheasants were a male and a female, she thought that there might be wild eggs where they rested.

As she expected, there was indeed a henhouse made of withered grass deep in the grass. Inside the grass nest lay quietly a dozen wild eggs.

These wild eggs are small and exquisite, only half the size of ordinary eggs. But if you really want to eat them, the dozen or so wild eggs in front of you are worth three or four eggs.

Shen Xiu touched her belly. The half of the steamed buns given by Trini had long been digested. Looking at the sun, it was already at the middle of the day, so the family should be having lunch at this time.

Shen Xiu originally planned to take the two pheasants and the eggs home, but then she thought about it. Even if she took all the eggs back, she was afraid that Mrs. Yang, who loved her grandson so much, would only leave the eggs for Shuan Zi to eat.

.She can only get one share at most. As for the pheasant, let alone the chicken legs, at least she doesn’t get her own share.

In this case, it is better to eat half and keep half.

Shen Xiu brought a fire sickle with him when he came. It was originally for emergencies, but now it comes in handy.

There is a crystal clear stream near the pheasant's nest.

In the open space next to the stream, a pheasant was touched with a sharp sickle, and blood bubbled out. After the pheasant drained the blood, its internal organs were removed, and then it was thrown into the clear stream and washed away in a short time.

net.

Thanks to the poor life she had as a child, Shen Xiu started doing these things with ease. She simply took care of the pheasants and started making beggar chickens.

The reason why I chose beggar's chicken is that compared to roasted chicken, it has less flavor and will not attract other predators.

There were many dead branches in the mountains, so Shen Xiu made a fire with a sickle, put the pheasant covered in mud into the fire, and put five small and exquisite eggs covered in mud into the fire.

The beggar's chicken needs to be cooked in the fire for half an hour.

After Shen Xiu finished adding firewood, she walked around the creek. Unfortunately, her good luck seemed to have run out. There was no madder she was looking for nearby.

When I came back, the beggar's chicken was already roasted.

Shen Xiu removed the mud from the outside of the beggar's chicken, and a scent of aroma wafted out impatiently.

It's a pity that I didn't bring salt. It would be better if there was salt.

Shen Xiu tore off a chicken leg and was about to enjoy the delicious lunch when a rustling sound suddenly came from nearby.

Maybe the scent of the beggar's chicken spread too far and attracted wild beasts in the mountains.

Shen Xiu was still thinking wildly when a man dressed as a hunter appeared out of nowhere.

This Orion was tall and had something painted on his face, making it look black and yellow.

"I smelled a scent from afar." The visitor was obviously attracted by the scent of the beggar's chicken. He stared closely at the beggar's chicken in Shen Xiu's hand, sniffed and said, "It smells so good. This smells so good."

Is it roast chicken?”

Shen Xiu had previously thought this was a man, after all, all hunters were men, but although the man in front of her was tall, her voice sounded like a woman's, and there was no Adam's apple, which made her sure that the hunter in front of her was indeed a woman.

"This is not a roast chicken, it's a beggar's chicken." Shen Xiu saw her staring at the beggar's chicken, so she tore off a chicken wing from the chicken and handed it to the other party.

After the female hunter took it, she tasted it with a smile on her face. Then she probably thought it was too bland, so she took out a handkerchief from her arms. The handkerchief contained grains of coarse salt. The female hunter sprinkled some salt on the chicken wings.

Then he sent the veil to Shen Xiu.

This time, Shen Xiu pinched some coarse salt without any mental burden and sprinkled it evenly on the beggar's chicken. With the salt seasoning, the beggar's chicken became more delicious.

Shen Xiu finished a chicken drumstick with the remaining half of the steamed bun, and then saw the female hunter looking at the remaining beggar's chicken eagerly. Shen Xiu thought about it, and tore off another piece of chicken breast, but did not hand it over in a hurry.

She, instead asked her a question, "Are you an Orion here?"

The female hunter stared at the chicken in Shen Xiu's hand greedily and nodded: "I am a hunter from Yangliu Village. My family has been hunting for generations."

Yangliu Village is at the other end of Qingning Mountain, dozens of miles away from here. This female hunter originally came after the wild boar, but unfortunately the wild boar failed to catch up, which made her tired and hungry.

Shen Xiu asked: "So, you should be familiar with Qingning Mountain?"

"It's very familiar." The female hunter then realized, "Why do you ask this?"

Shen Xiudao: "I came to Qingning Mountain to look for madder. You just need to tell me where to find madder, and I can share this piece of meat with you."

"Madder, what madder?" The female hunter had never heard of this name.

Shen Xiu described the appearance of madder to her, and the female hunter suddenly realized something and took out a handful of herbs from the basket on her back, "Is this what you are looking for?"

As soon as she took out the herb, Shen Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up, "This is it."

The female hunter curled her lips and said: "You can just say it's not enough to see blood. What about madder?"

Shen Xiu seemed to have heard Trini say that madder also has another name called Xue Jianchou, and it seems to have some effect on stopping bleeding.

She didn't argue, she just picked up the madders and said, "Where did you find these bloody madders? Can you tell me?"

The female hunter pointed to a path she came from and said, "Follow this road to the end, and you'll find a slope. There's a big patch of blood growing there. There's as much blood as you want."

Shen Xiu learned about the location where the madder grew, and when she was in a good mood, she gave the female hunter an extra piece of chicken.

The female hunter took the chicken and finished it in just a few bites.

After she finished eating, she stood up and planned to leave. Halfway through, she suddenly turned around and kindly reminded Shen Xiu: "There are often wild beasts in the mountains. Little girl, you should go home early after collecting the blood, otherwise

It would be terrible if a wild animal discovered it."

Shen Xiu was not afraid of wild beasts, but she was afraid of being scolded if she returned home late, so she hurriedly ate the remaining beggar's chickens and eggs, put out the fire, and set foot on the path pointed by the female hunter.

There was indeed a slope at the end of the path, and there were indeed many madders growing on the slope.

It is not easy to come to the mountains. Shen Xiu dug as much as he could until the basket could no longer hold it.

The sun sets in the west, and the remaining light shines on the paths of Weijia Village.

Shen Xiu carried the basket, wiped his sweat, and finally came back before dark.

When we entered the mountain, we didn't feel anything happened. When we went down the mountain, we walked slower and slower with the basket on our back. Shen Xiu walked back completely by relying on willpower. It was because she was too lazy and her body was too weak.

It seems that I have to exercise hard in the future.

Shen Xiu walked home with support. She came back a little late, but she gained a lot and should be able to offset the merits and demerits.
