Thinking about it like this, I just felt that my saliva was secreting continuously, and my stomach, which had not eaten for a whole night and a half, started to growl.
“Braised and soup!”
Seeing her like this, Liu Xingzhi raised the corners of his lips slightly and nodded in response. After turning around, the smile at the corner of his mouth was a little bigger. Yunxi like this made him feel cute inexplicably.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Ma were preparing to eat. When they saw her being carried out and being pulled over to take care of her by the third child, they suddenly became frightened and had worried looks on their faces.
Yun Xi touched his nose embarrassedly, and saw that Liu Xingzhi had turned around and left, so he had to explain himself: "I just accidentally encountered a snake and was scared!"
After saying that, he secretly spat at himself, and the image of a strong woman he had just created instantly collapsed.
Seeing her helpless look, Mrs. Liu and her husband felt relieved, with smiles in their eyes.
"It's normal for you, a little girl, to be afraid of snakes. When Ernie was your age, she was also very afraid. She just got used to it after living in the country for many years! San'er is too nervous. You and I
Mom thought something had happened to you! This scared me!"
Mrs. Ma patted her on the shoulder, smiled and comforted her: "Just watch it a few more times! There are many snakes, insects, rats, and ants in our countryside. You have been married for a short time, and you will know in the future!"
Hearing what she said, Yun Xi felt bad for a moment, and his face became even uglier.
"You old woman, why are you scaring her?" Madam Liu snorted dissatisfied, took Yun Xi's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, our family is all hunters, and we are first-class at catching snakes. We will accompany you wherever you go in the future.
You stay together and won’t let the snake hurt you!”
Then he remembered something and said, "By the way, your dad also made a few sachets to repel snakes before. I'll bring one to you later!"
Yun Xi nodded repeatedly. She had heard before that many experienced hunters would prepare some snake repelling items. With this, they would be safer in the forest.
"This child is obviously frightened!" Madam Ma couldn't help laughing when she saw her expression. But when she looked at the snake that Xu Dashu and others carried back, she couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Is this the snake you encountered? So big!"
Mrs. Liu was also stunned, and then said helplessly: "You kid, you can't explain clearly, this is an ordinary snake, this is a python.
Don't talk about you, even your father is afraid! He must have scared you!"
Yun Xi nodded, then shook his head, showing a bit of greed, "Mom, I want to eat snake meat!"
Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Okay, Mom will do it for you! Just wait and see!"
After removing the head and tail of a python, there was still nearly fifty kilograms of meat left. Because Liu Xingzhi killed the snake, ten kilograms were left for her and five kilograms for the other family members.
Although it's not too much, it's not too little either. For a small family like the Li family, one person can eat a pound, which is pretty good.
Except for hunters, ordinary people don't eat meat a few times throughout the year. Even if they eat meat, they only buy half a catty and beat it as a sacrifice. In this way, if they eat beef the day before, they don't have many opportunities to eat snake meat today.
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Ma took a total of fifteen kilograms. They added up, half of which was braised and half of which was boiled. The water they brought back was used to make soup, which was just enough for each person.
Both Liu Pozi and Ma Pozi are good at craftsmanship. Now the ingredients are fresh and naturally delicious when cooked. In addition to snake meat, the roasted yam soaked in soup is equally delicious, giving it the feeling of eating braised potatoes.
Especially children, there is no resistance to this sweet taste. Even the three-year-old Xiaobao ate a small bowl. Coupled with a bowl of fragrant snake soup, this day felt wonderful.
Liu Sanye drank two bowls of snake soup and looked at Yunxi and the two with satisfaction, "You two are lucky, I have to follow you to survive!"
After saying that, his eyes drifted to the Ye family and Uncle Liu's family who were looking at them eagerly in the distance, and he snorted coldly: "Those are the ones who have no luck, they only have the fate of watching!"
Yun Xi finished the soup and looked a little confused. According to Ye's statement, the Ye family had no food for a long time. But in the past two days, they still seem to have food and drink. What's going on?
"In exchange for people!" Liu Xingzhi took the bowl from Yun Xi's hand and said, "Didn't you notice that there is no young woman in the Ye family except that mother-in-law?"
Yun Xi turned to look at the Ye family. In addition to Ye Dewang and his wife, the Ye family now has two sons and three grandchildren. Indeed, there are no young women.
"On the day I first came back, I saw the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ye family. She disappeared today. Where did she go?" Mrs. Liu beside her spat, with disgust on her face!
It was either eaten or sold, but depending on the situation, it was more likely to be sold than eaten, otherwise she would not be willing to go with these people at all!
"Now that I can't even eat, is there anyone willing to buy someone else?"
Yun Xi suddenly felt that something was wrong. Nowadays, if the stutter was given food, there would be a lot of people willing to follow it for free. How could anyone be willing to exchange water and food for the Ye family?
"Some people who are not short of water and food for the time being will gather some healthy women with innocent family backgrounds!" Liu Xingzhi said coldly: "When there is no shortage of food, these women are just playthings. When there is a shortage of food, they are food.
!”
He had heard people say this kind of thing in his previous life. In recent years, this kind of thing is not uncommon!
Yun Xi moved her lips and looked at Ye who was following behind, looking a little complicated.
That day, Ye Shi was sprayed with blood and almost went crazy. Although she is better now, her reaction seems to be much slower. She will eat if it is given to her, and she will not take it if it is not given to her. On weekdays, except for Liu Dalang, others
No one cares at all.
She doesn't regret what she did that day. Revenge has always been her principle. But seeing Ye like this now, she can't tell whether she should feel sorry for her or feel lucky for her.
According to the extent of Ye's support to the Ye family before, sooner or later he will be sold by the Ye family.
"Mom, they all understand that my eldest brother and several nephews think this is good. Although they are a bit silly, they are obedient. It is much better than that sister-in-law who makes trouble for the Ye family from time to time!"
As if he guessed what Yun Xi was thinking, when Mrs. Liu went to serve the soup, Liu Xingzhi sat next to her and whispered.
"I have been in the Liu family for so long, and it seems that I rarely see my eldest brother and sister-in-law talking to each other, even Dabao and Erbao. Is it because she gave the family's money and food to the Ye family?"
Yunxi was quite puzzled. The state of Liu Dalang's family made her feel quite strange.
Liu Xingzhi shook his head, his eyes darkened, and he was obviously very unhappy with this sister-in-law!
"That was just the trigger. I don't know the details. I only heard that after the eldest brother chased him out that day, the Ye family not only wanted money and food from the Liu family, but also wanted to sell the Dabao and Erbao."
