Chapter 41: Back down the mountain

Ye Xusheng looked up at the sun in the sky and said, "It's still early. I picked a few wild pears. You sit here and eat them while I hunt for pigweed."

There was no water here either. Ye Xusheng wiped his hands on his clothes, picked up the pears and handed them to He Xiner. He Xiner followed his example and wiped his hands on his body as the Romans did. He took the pears and lifted up the corner of his clothes to wipe the pears with the inside.

While wiping away, I vomited: I am almost becoming a savage.

Wild pears are small in size and have a bit sour taste. Fortunately, they are full of water and can quench their thirst. The Ye family are stingy when it comes to eating and would not dare to think about fruits. It would be great to have wild fruits to eat. He Xiner is easily satisfied.

Eating fruits and blowing the breeze is so comfortable. I caught a pheasant today, and I feel a great sense of accomplishment. I can't help but be ambitious: If I can catch one chicken, I can catch two. From now on, I will catch chickens every day.

My parents drank chicken soup, haha...haha...I'm so awesome!

Ye Xusheng beat pigweed very quickly and came back with a basket full in a while. He Xiner motioned him to sit down and eat a pear. Ye Xusheng was also thirsty, so he imitated He Xiner and picked up the pear, wiped it on his body, and sat down to eat.

stand up.

After eating the pears, Ye Xusheng hesitated for a moment and asked: "Erni, do you want to take the pheasant home?"

He Xiner looked at him strangely, thinking why not take it home and spend so much effort catching it? Of course she would take it home and drink the chaos soup.

Ye Xusheng didn't want to say it at first, but looked at Er Ni who didn't think deeply and said: "I'm afraid that if I mess up the chicken soup, my second aunt won't be able to eat two pieces of meat. Grandma has always been partial."

In the past, Ye Xusheng wouldn't have said anything like this even if he was beaten to death. Even if his grandpa was partial, he wouldn't be picky about it. Besides, his sister-in-law was also his elder, so he would not be angry with his elders because of his stuttering.

But now there were some things that made him think too much. The two of them had struggled to catch this pheasant in order to replenish the body of the second aunt. When it got into the hands of grandma, it was hard to say whether the second aunt could eat it.

He Xiner tilted her head and thought for a moment. Although she had no feelings for Lao Ye's family, she was now one of them, and she was eating food from Lao Ye's family. It would be better to take it back and eat it with the whole family. How could her mother not do it?

She can have a bowl of chicken soup. When she catches more chickens, Lao Qian will probably not be so stingy anymore.

He proudly pointed to the pheasants in the basket on his back, patted himself, and then made a swooping motion, indicating that he would catch a lot of pheasants. He pointed in the direction of Lao Ye's house, indicating that he would take them home and eat them together.

Ye Xusheng, who couldn't laugh or cry, asked: "You mean you can catch a lot of chickens, so many, that everyone can eat them together?"

He Xiner nodded with bright eyes, and Ye Xusheng couldn't stop laughing, "It's not as easy as you think! If pheasants were so easy to catch, the villagers would have already caught all the chickens on the mountain!"

Thinking about it, He Xiner scratched her head in embarrassment, thinking that she was lucky enough to meet her today.

Ye Xusheng originally thought that instead of holding the house without food, he might as well ask Orion Zhang to take it to the town and sell it, leaving Er Ni as private money. He wanted to buy some food for his second aunt without worrying about running out of money.

Seeing that Er Ni had no other thoughts, Ye Xusheng couldn't tell how he felt. However, he would have to think more about the money issue in the future. The wages for copying books were still too small, only enough for paper and pen.

Ye Xusheng carried the basket on his back and helped He Xiner slowly down the mountain. He Xiner could walk, but it was too slow. After walking for a while, Ye Xusheng saw that she was walking slower and slower, and was afraid that she would be tired if she tried hard, so he took the basket away.

He came down and said: "Apart from the pheasant at the bottom, the grass above is not very heavy and you can carry it. You carry the basket and I will carry you."

He Xiner shook her head and waved her hands. She was such a big living person and she couldn't help Ye Xu to climb with the basket on her back. Ye Xusheng squatted on the ground and couldn't get up: "Come up, I'll carry you. Your feet will hurt if you walk too much."

Seeing that he persisted, He Xiner had no choice but to climb on his back. Ye Xusheng stood up and swayed a bit. He Xiner quickly patted his shoulder and signaled to put her down. Ye Xusheng smiled and said: "It's okay, I just got up.

It's urgent, let's go."

While walking, Ye Xusheng also said: "Er Ni, you are too light. It is easy for me to carry even a backpack. I need to eat more in the future."
