As he spoke, the guard took out four small olive-colored eggs slightly larger than bird eggs from his arms and spread them in his big palm.

"Ah, they are wild eggs!" Lan Xi was surprised and held these pocket-sized eggs.

The small one was placed in Lan Xi's hand, just enough to be wrapped by her hand. The slightly green eggshell looked particularly beautiful.

"Where did you find it?"

The guard handed the remaining three to several brothers and sisters of the Zhan family. Hearing Lan Xi's question, he pointed to a haystack not far away.

"In the grass there, when my subordinate used his sword to open it for inspection, he found a small hole in it, and the egg was nestled inside."

These are the guards brought by Zhan Jin and others. If there is anything, they will be distributed to the young masters of the royal family first. Liu Shuhuan and Song Lanjiu did not receive any, so they could only look at it together next to Lan Xi.

"Do you still have these eggs? We hunted birds and pheasants, and we will roast them and eat them later." Song Lanjiu reached out and plucked the pheasant eggs from her little sister's hand, and did not forget to suggest a new itinerary.

Lan Xi handed the egg she was holding to Liu Shuhuan, who had been coveting it for a long time, and then nodded.

"There is one nest and maybe a second nest. Let's look for it again. It would be great if we could get one for everyone. Sister Jin, Zhanchen Zhanyu, will you go?"

Zhan Jin couldn't put it down and stroked the wild egg in his hand. His mind had already been attracted by it. Hearing this, he shook his head.

"You go ahead. This one is enough for me. I will wait here for you later. Come back as soon as possible."

Zhan Jin didn't want to go, but Zhan Yu and Zhan Chen still wanted to participate.

Song Lanjiu left a few guards to guard Zhan Jin, and they took the rest to the rice fields. With these strong and fast guards, they could find pheasants and eggs much faster.

In just two-quarters of an hour, the guards came back with a few pheasants and a small bag of pheasant eggs.

Among the people in Lanxi, except Zhan Yu who found a small nest of eggs, the others found nothing.

Lan Xi joked that he was particularly talented in food and was much better at finding ingredients than they were.

Everyone returned to Zhan Jin's place with the loot. This time they found a total of six pheasants, but two of them were just chicks, which could be ignored. In addition, the original one was only five and could only be eaten.

, not enough to share among several people.

There were nearly twenty wild eggs. There were a total of six little masters here, and each of them could get three. However, they also brought their close servants and maids, and they also wanted them to have a taste.

In the end, it was Zhan Jin who made the decision. Each of the six young masters received a chicken leg, a chicken wing, and two eggs, while Xiao Ling and the others shared the rest.

Zhan Jin took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and handed it to the captain of the guard. They worked hard, but in the end they received nothing.

Although they are masters and servants, the guards will not care about them as children at all, but the superiors cannot just ignore them, and they must make clear rewards and punishments.

The captain of the guard took the silver ingot and clasped his fists to thank him: "Thank you so much, Mr. Fourth... the reward from the fourth girl. These are just things that belong to the subordinates. Young masters, just have fun!"

To be honest, this kind of bird with no meat on its body is completely useless, which means these young masters find it novel. For them, it is not as comfortable as the fat chickens at the foot of the mountain who can eat wine and drink.

"You have to deal with these wild animals first, and then you can send a few people down the mountain to buy some vegetables to eat." Zhan Yuhun ordered nonchalantly.

He held a small pheasant the size of a palm in his hand. It was covered with small gray-brown down. Zhan Yu touched it and thought of the Yuan Baolai he had left in the palace, and he missed it a little more.

Zhan Yu opened his mouth and wanted the guards to go back to the palace and take Yuanbao out for a run. This would definitely make him happy. However, it was getting dark now and it would already be night by the time Yuanbao was brought here. It was really unnecessary.

Zhan Chen noticed his expression and looked at the other person inquiringly, and the latter expressed his thoughts.

Zhan Chen smiled and said, "What's the harm? With Mrs. Song here, it's okay for us to stay in this temple for a few days. You can just ask someone to bring the ingot tomorrow."

Zhan Jin on the side chuckled: "Speaking of which, we have been here for a long time, but we haven't gone to see Mrs. Song or Lan Shu yet. She stayed alone on the mountain. I wonder if she will annoy us later."

Lan Xi slapped her forehead, yes, they were having so much fun that they even forgot about their mother and third sister.

"Well, let's ask someone to go up the mountain and tell Third Sister to come down. How can we not share such interesting things with her!"

Song Lanjiu could no longer agree with her words, and immediately sent another person up the mountain to call for others.

"By the way, we are all going out to play. My cousin is still on the mountain. Do you want to bring her some too?" Liu Shuhuan reminded.

Lan Xi nodded. She should leave a chicken for her mother, but this thing belongs to everyone. It depends on whether the Zhan family has any opinions.

Lan Xi thought and looked at Zhan Jin and Zhan Chen.

"Of course it is. I have to trouble Mrs. Song to take care of her these days." Zhan Jin immediately responded considerately after receiving her gaze.

Zhan Yu was a little greedy, but what Huang Jie said was right, so he acquiesced.

Zhan Chen had gotten along with Mrs. Song before and had long regarded her as his elder and would not have any objections.

In this case, a few people picked out a young pheasant that looked like it was not long into adulthood.

The meat of the wild animal was firm, and everyone was not sure what Liu Yunyao was going to do with the chicken, so they could only choose tender meat as much as possible.

The captain of the guard gave an order, and several guards responded and took action separately.

The stream was not far away. Liu Shuhuan and the others were watching the guards handling the pheasants. The Zhan brothers and sisters were afraid of blood. Zhan Jin was holding a pheasant egg, and Zhan Yu and Zhan Chen were each holding a small pheasant. They all hid far away.

.

Lan Xi looked at the rushing water at the creek and sighed with regret. Unfortunately, there were no sandals. They couldn't take off their shoes at will, otherwise they would have to go in and play in the water.
