Chapter 4 Rabbit Skeleton

Jinchu's clothes were already dirty and smelly, but who cared about this?Everyone wants to live.

Chu Li, who only drank water, finally collapsed on the third day. Jinchu took out the remaining bit of cornmeal, took a bite, and fed the last bite to her.

Chu Li turned her face away: "Jinchu eats it by himself..."

Jinchu looked at the thickening black air on his father's head, and felt panicked and anxious. It turns out that it is so difficult to change a person's destiny!

"Dad, please don't die. Everyone's food has been eaten. If you die, no one will care about Jinchu. Jinchu will be eaten by the refugees... Didn't you mean to eat all the wild vegetables and chew up the bark of the trees? , do bad people want to eat children?"

"Jinchu..." Chu Li slowly opened her eyes. Not to mention Jinchu, she would probably have no bones left when she died.

While Jinchu was chattering, he fed the steamed bun soaked in water into Chu Li's mouth.

"Dad, you have to live for Jinchu. Last night, Jinchu dreamed of his father, Fengguan Xiapei... No! My father is wearing an official robe and an official hat. He is so majestic. Dad, please don't sleep!"

"Okay..." Chu Li opened her mouth and took a bite of the steamed bun.

The northern part of the Yun Kingdom was like a purgatory on earth, with homeless civilians everywhere. Maybe Chu Li was destined not to get out, or maybe the Queen Mother was still angry and didn't want Jin Chu to live.

In the evening of the next day, Jinchu was so hungry that he could no longer move. Chu Li threw away her treasured copy without hesitation and carried Jinchu on her back.

"My dear daughter, you must persevere. When father becomes an official, you will be the richest lady. Jinchu is good-looking. When you grow up, you will be a beauty who will conquer the entire country!"

"Dad, what is an enchanting country..." Unfortunately, Jinchu couldn't hear his father's explanation and closed his eyes.

fragrant!Jinchu sniffed the fragrance crazily.

It was the smell of meat. She suddenly opened her eyes. She must have been stewed, right?
"woke up?"

The familiar voice dispelled Jinchu's fear of being a fat fish in his previous life, and being often worried about whether it should be steamed or braised by Taishang Laojun.

"Daddy."

Chu Li's eyebrows were filled with a smile, "Just wake up."

Jinchu pinched himself, it hurt! "Dad, are we all alive?"

"Alive." Chu Li waved to Jinchu and took out a few yellow and red fruits under the cover of old clothes.

Jin Chu peeled open an orange, took out a piece and put it in her mouth. It was sour and sweet, just like the taste in her mouth.

This orange was not as good as the Queen Mother's flat peach, but it was the second time Chu Li used the fruit to save her life.

"Jinchu, you are a blessed child."

Chu Li said that they were about to starve to death, but they happened to see a rare orange tree on the roadside. The strange thing was that many people passed by in front of them, but they didn't even notice it!

She picked the oranges and found wild fruits not far away. She fed some to Jin Chu and ate some for herself. She carried her on her back for a day and a night, and was about to leave the northern wasteland.

"This area is not particularly dry, but there are still people in front of us, and they have robbed everything we have to eat and drink."

"Then...Daddy, this is..."

"Rabbit!" Chu Li turned over the rabbit that she had packed away. "Hare is very cunning. It can run fast and dig holes. There is no food outside, so it has to run deep into the woods. Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary people to catch it."

"Rabbit?" Jin Chu swallowed. During the famine years, rats were caught and eaten, let alone hares.

"How did Daddy catch it?"

"Net." It turned out that Chu Li used wild fruits as bait, placed it at the entrance of the hole to lure the rabbit out, made a net with straw rope, trapped the rabbit, and dug out a pile of miscellaneous grain.

"Daddy is amazing!"

While eating oranges, Jin Chu smiled and rolled his eyes, asking his father why he didn't make a big pot of soup?
Chu Li smiled: "The rabbit meat is firm. After roasting the meat, you can still eat it by roasting the bones."

Jinchu couldn't help but swallow as he watched the rabbit being roasted until it was sizzling with oil. The aroma penetrated his nose.

Chu Li tore off the roasted rabbit legs and handed them to Jinchu, saying that she didn't like eating them.

When Jin Chu finished the rabbit leg, he gave her the other parts of the meat.

Jinchu didn't answer and waved his hand: "Dad, I don't like eating those either."

Chu Li smiled, tore off the rabbit meat and ate it all, then smeared the fruit juice on the skeleton and continued roasting it over the fire.

After roasting for a long time, the golden skeleton reveals a rich aroma.

"Try it."

"Yeah, it's delicious!" Jin Chu put a small piece of bone into his mouth. It was crispy and sweet with juice, "Daddy, it's so delicious!"

The two of them did not continue on their way. Chu Li said that they found a pool deep in the forest.

"My dear daughter, let's rest here for a while. Daddy will fish for you tomorrow."

"Fishing... Fishing?"

Jinchu shuddered. Taishang Laojun loves to eat fish. He has eaten fish from all over the three realms, but he has never eaten the seven-colored fish kept in the Yao Pond. She wanted to eat it blatantly, and everyone knew it.

"What? Jinchu doesn't like fish? It's okay. I also saw pheasants and wild fruits. Let's eat chickens and fruits."

Jinchu breathed a sigh of relief and touched her smooth wrist. She was no longer a fish, and the shadow Taishang Laojun brought to her became an unattainable dream.

At night, Chu Li built a shack with tree branches, covered it with thick hay, and smelled the good smell of her father. For the first time since Jinchu escaped from famine, she ate well and slept warmly, and even her dreams were beautiful.

The next day was still dry and cold, and the mountains and fields were reflected in orange by the morning glow. Jinchu took a look at his father's clothes, a tight, plain suit, his hair was tied into a high ponytail with a black ribbon, and he wore a pair of old and new jeans. Plain boots, the most normal outfit, yet look so dashing.

She and her father squatted near the waterhole for half a day, and finally saw the pheasant coming to drink water. The two yelled and chased each other, and finally the pheasant was caught.

"It looks fatter than the one I saw yesterday."

Chu Li was very satisfied with the pheasant, and Jin Chu's face turned red, as he had eaten meat again!

Deep in the jungle, there is a small pool. The water is not big and clear.

Such a deep wild forest can easily contain venomous snakes and beasts. After Chu Li checked carefully, he dug a small ditch and dug a puddle at the lower end. After the water quality became clear, he killed the chickens and cleaned them. Jinchu also helped.

Today's chicken was not roasted, but the remaining wild fruits were put in, a few slices of orange peel were added, and a handful of beans found in the rabbit hole were added to make a pot of soup.

"Dad, why don't you bake it and eat it?"

Thinking of yesterday's roast rabbit, Jinchu couldn't help but swallow her saliva. She had never eaten such a delicious thing, and thinking about it, it still tasted good in her mouth.

Chu Li put the firewood into the stone stove and looked at Jinchu with a smile: "Xiao Jinchu, dad has eaten delicacies from the mountains and seas and tasted all kinds of delicacies, so naturally he can also cook."

"Delicacy from mountains and seas?"

Jinchu opened his eyes wide and looked at his father, whose purple luck was particularly obvious on his head. It was really hard to imagine what she had gone through, and she had to call herself a man?What kind of wealth and status is it?
