The happy life of peasant woman Wan Xiaoliu

Chapter 25 The Pheasant and the Hare

"Sixth sister, do you think that brother could kill more pheasants and hares, how about selling them in the market tomorrow? I don't know if anyone will buy them." Wan Xiaojiu will always consciously look at Wan Mofei's back basket, afraid The pheasant and hare would be lost. He watched the pheasant and hare ask their own questions.

"Huh!" Wan Xiaoliu raised his head, looked at Wan Mofei and the pheasant and hare behind him, and said, "If this can be sold, it's a way to make money."

"Brother Could Fei, you should catch more." Wan Xiaojiu was very happy.

"Not today, he's not in good health today, we'll talk about it when we go to the market next month." Wan Xiaoliu said decisively to the two people.

"Alright then." Wan Xiaojiu lowered her head and continued to move forward.

After all, Wan Xiaojiu was a child, walking around and playing, broke off a twig and shook it in his hand, Wan Xiaoliu stopped digging herbs, and he also stopped to find a place to sit.What Wan Mofei saw most was Wan Xiaoliu's figure. Apart from looking for herbs, he only paid attention to Wan Xiaoliu.And Wan Xiaoliu only had herbs and Wan Xiaojiu in his eyes. Although the ones in the deep mountains and old forests often came in his memory, Wan Xiaojiu was still young after all, so he always took care of him when he was by his side.

"Pheasant, pheasant, Murphy, pheasant!" Wan Xiaojiu cried happily when he saw a pheasant crowing behind a rock in the distance.He ran to Wan Mofei, grabbed his sleeve and shook it, pointing to him.

"Okay, it's so far away, how can I catch it? Stop barking, you scared the pheasant away." Wan Xiaoliu was so hot that he was sweating profusely, and sat down on the ground beside him.

Wan Mofei looked at Wan Xiaoliu, sat down beside her, and ignored Wan Xiaojiu.

"Brother Mofei, you should catch more pheasants and hares. My father said that the clothes made of hare fur are so warm." Wan Xiaojiu also sat next to Wan Mofei.

Wan Xiaoliu looked at Wan Mofei's pannier, there were all kinds of herbs.Stretch out your hand to press, and most of the basket is solid.

"Dig a little more, and we'll go home when the basket is full. I'll take you to the place I know has wild peach trees to pick peaches and eat them later."

"Wild peaches are delicious, brother Mofei, have you ever eaten wild peaches?" Wan Xiaojiu likes to talk to Wan Mofei the most.

Wan Mofei glanced at Wan Xiaojiu, shook his head, and then glanced at Wan Xiaoliu.

"Then wait until Sixth Sister picks you to eat more." Wan Xiaojiu is a kind and good boy.

Looking at Wan Xiaojiu's appearance, Wan Mofei couldn't help reaching out and stroking his head.

"You two sit here and take a rest. I'll go and dig some, and we'll go home. I'm hungry."

"Shh." Wan Mofei suddenly put his index finger to his mouth and shushed.

Both Wan Xiaoliu and Wan Xiaojiu looked at him and said nothing. Wan Mofei put down his back basket, broke off the small tree next to him, shaved off the excess branches and leaves, and left a fork-like shape. He walked forward softly, and arrived at the Stopped at the edge of a small dam, and lightly pushed aside the small bushes, it was too late and then quickly, the tree branch in my hand was pushed down, and a cloud of fog appeared in the hand, hitting the ground with one hand. on the branch.

Wan Xiaojiu saw that Wan Mofei had stopped, and ran over quickly.

"Ah, it's a hedgehog. Sixth Sister, come and see, brother Murphy has caught a hedgehog." Wan Xiaojiu knelt down and reached out to catch the hedgehog.

"What?" Wan Xiaoliu leaned over with his backpack on his back.

Wan Mofei gave the tree branch to Wan Xiaojiu, and took Wan Xiaoliu's back basket with both hands.Wan Xiaoliu gave the basket to Wan Mofei without arguing, and went to Wan Xiaojiu to have a look.

"This is very good for stomach problems. You can take it home and give it to your mother. I made a net bag out of rattan and carried it."

Wan Xiaoliu cut some kudzu vines, and tore one into two.Quickly weaving a palm-sized net, he put the hedgehog inside and handed it to Wan Xiaojiu: "Hold it. Be careful not to be stabbed by it."

"If this is not injured, can it be kept and not eaten for a while?" Wan Xiaojiu smiled like a flower.

"Yes, that's fine. You can try it at home." Wan Xiaoliu was digging the herbs around him.

Wan Xiaojiu stopped paying attention to the pheasants and hares, and only cared about when the guy in his hand would wake up and how to raise it.

"Sixth sister, what do hedgehogs eat?" Wan Xiaojiu asked Wan Xiaoliu.

"You can feed it anything from cucumbers and peaches."

"Oh, does it drink water?"

"I don't know. I shouldn't drink it. How can there be water on this mountain?" Wan Xiaoliu answered what he was thinking.

"Oh." Wan Xiaojiu followed them.

"There are wild peach trees in front of us. The herbs are almost dug up. We will go home after picking the peaches." Wan Xiaoliu led the way.

Wan Xiaoliu walked ahead and came to a small valley. The terrain here was relatively flat, surrounded by forests, and the middle part was grassland, without trees or shrubs.Wan Xiaoliu walked over and sat down on the ground, then lay back.

"Wow, it's so comfortable."

"Where is Sixth Sister Peach?" Wan Xiaojiu has been looking for a peach tree.

"Over there, go down a little bit and you'll see it. Go and pick it yourself. I'm going to lie down. Be careful." Wan Xiaoliu replied while lying on the grass with her eyes closed.

"Brother Mo Fei, put the things here, let's go pick them. Sixth sister, watch the hedgehog for me, don't let it run away." Wan Xiaojiu put the hedgehog beside Wan Xiaoliu and warned.

Wan Xiaoliu closed his eyes and waved his hand, not speaking.

Wan Mofei looked at Wan Xiaoliu, put down his things, and was led away by Wan Xiaojiu's clothes.

"Brother Mofei, we didn't bring anything to pack. We picked the peaches later, put them in the pockets of our clothes." Wan Xiaojiu pulled up the long gown, and there was a nest, just enough to hold the peaches.

Wan Xiaoliu felt as if he had fallen asleep.Opening his eyes, he saw Wan Xiaojiu and Wan Mofei lying beside him.Wan Xiaojiu closed her eyes and lay in the middle breathing evenly, while Wan Mofei was looking at herself without blinking.

"What are you looking at? Why didn't you call me? It seems like it's already mid-afternoon. Are you hungry?" Wan Xiaoliu rubbed his stomach and seemed to be screaming.

Wan Mofei sat up, took out a few red peaches from his bosom as if by magic, and handed them to Wan Xiaoliu.

"Peaches? I don't eat peaches that haven't been washed. They're covered with hairs. I feel bad after eating them." Wan Xiaoliu didn't pick them up.

Wan Mofei handed it forward again: "It's been washed."

Wan Xiaoliu glanced at Wan Mofei in disbelief, and reached out to take it.

A look, it really is washed, very clean.Take a bite: "Well, not bad, so sweet."

Wan Xiaojiu was awakened by Wan Xiaoliu's voice.

"Sixth Sister, your peaches are the top peaches Mo Feige picked from the tree. They are the biggest and reddest. They must be very sweet." Wan Xiaojiu rubbed her eyes and said.

"I brought you here, and I have contributed the most, so naturally I deserve the best." Wan Xiaoliu said without blushing or panting.
