"Mother, stop digging, there will be no prey if you dig a trap here." Erya reminded aloud.
Li Su was digging vigorously, when he suddenly heard Erya's words, he raised his head blankly, "Ah? Can't you catch it?"
Erya saw that her face was originally pitch black, but now it was flushed with sweat, and it was white and black, which was a bit ridiculous. Erya held back her smile, "This place is too close to the village, and there are often people who go up the mountain to pick mushrooms, so there are few animals here. That pheasant just now is too stupid."
"Ah? Is that so, then I've been busy for a long time!" Li Su was a little frustrated.
"Come up first! The pheasant is already cooked. Let's forget about it today. Tomorrow we will bring some tools and continue to go inside." Erya said.
Li Su felt very hungry at this moment, but she looked down at the half-person-deep pit that had already been dug, feeling a little regretful, "Then what should I do with this pit? How about filling it in?"
Er Ya thought for a while, "Maybe you can bury something sharp in the pit, just in case something as stupid as this pheasant falls into it!" Even if there is no prey, it's fine if people step on it. Erya thought maliciously in her heart, she remembered that sometimes her grandma would go up to the mountain to pick mushrooms, and would pass by here.
Li Su thought about it, so he cut a few branches around, cut them sharp, buried them at the bottom of the pit, and then climbed up carefully. on the trap.
Li Su clapped his hands, "Go, go back and eat pheasant."
Er Ya was stunned, she saw the blood on Li Su's palm. She remembered that when her father was still alive, she often said that mother's hands were the ones holding the needle and twisting the thread, so they should not be injured.
Li Su followed her gaze and saw the injury on his hand, so he couldn't help frowning, his body was too weak. That's right, when Wang Erlang was here, she didn't have to do anything, and everything was held in front of her. Wang Erlang went to war, because her needlework can make money, so Wang Fang only let her do needlework.
"It's okay, why don't you just scratch the skin? It will be fine soon. Let's go, I'm hungry, let's eat chicken!" Li Su said with a smile.
When the mother and daughter arrived at the stream, Li Su washed his hands first, and poured the cold stream water on his hands. There was a slight pain in the palm of his hand. Li Su couldn't help frowning. His body couldn't help being weak, and the pain was still low. He didn't know who the original owner was. What background. She always felt that ordinary people could not raise such a daughter. Could it be that the original owner still has a bloody life experience
This Li Su didn't know. After all, Liyuanzhu and Shanglin Village were just a noun.
Just as Li Su was thinking, Erya suddenly tore off a corner of her clothes, and carefully bandaged the wound on Li Su's hand.
"By the way, I have salt here, it will taste better with some salt." Li Su suddenly remembered and said.
Erya glanced at her, "Mother, do you know that salt is very expensive."
Li Su sensed the disgust in Erya's eyes, and was a little speechless. Yes, why did she forget that the salt and iron in ancient times were all ancient Chinese salt and iron? They are not only scarce resources but also very important strategic resources. Specialized by the government, smuggling salt was a felony in ancient times.
"Don't worry, I put this on the pheasant when I was roasting, and it tastes good." Arya pointed to a few red fruits on the ground next to her.
Li Su recognized it as a kind of wild fruit that the locals used as a condiment, and the taste was similar to chili.
"Mother, you eat!" Erya tore off a pheasant leg and handed it to Li Su.
Li Su took it with a smile, "Okay, thank you Erya, you can eat too."
Erya was naturally not polite, tore off the other pheasant leg, and started to gobble it up.
Li Su took a sip, and it tasted really good. Then I remembered, "Erya, mother gave you a name? The name Erya is too vulgar."
"Name?" Er Ya asked.
"Yes, your mother, my surname is Li and my name is Su, and Su is my name. As for you, your surname is Wang. Let me think about it. What is your better name? Beichen, how about Wang Beichen?" Li Su said after thinking about it. Although the name Li Wang Siqin sounds nice, but,
Li Su didn't want Erya to become Wang Siqin, she hoped that Erya could have another life, a different life!
"Bei Chen?" Erya had never read a book, so she didn't understand Bei Chen's meaning.
"Beichen refers to the North Star in the sky. Anyway, it's a very imposing and heroic name. How about it? Do you like it?" Li Su suddenly remembered that Beichen not only refers to the North Star, but is also often used as a metaphor for emperors or respected people. In this feudal era, is there really no problem with this name? Otherwise, or another one
"I like it!" Erya said excitedly, her eyes widening. Is Beichen the star in the sky? She likes the name. From today on, her name is Wang Beichen!
Seeing that Erya liked the name Beichen, Li Su laughed. never mind. Since she likes it, then use this name. Anyway, not everyone knows the boudoir names of ancient girls. Besides, in Shanglin Village, there are probably few people who know what Beichen means.
"Thank you, mother!" Wang Beichen's eyes sparkled.
Li Su stroked her hair, "Okay, hurry up and eat. When you go back, if someone asks, just say that we didn't hunt it. When you go back later, pick up some mushrooms and bring them back. It's okay to cook soup later. OK."
Wang Beichen nodded, she knew this, she would not tell the villagers.
The mother and daughter ate a hearty meal, and then dug a hole for bones and chicken feathers and buried them. Cleaned up and ready to go down the mountain. Wang Beichen cut some wicker to weave a small basket, and picked up some fungi.
Li Su wanted to show off for a while, telling her what fungus she could eat and what fungus she couldn't eat, but she took a closer look, well, she didn't know any of these fungi, and she didn't know which ones could be eaten and which ones couldn't. And looking more carefully, Erya, not Wang Beichen, didn't pick up all the fungus, she just picked some selectively.
Well, maybe in terms of common sense of life, Li Su is no match for Wang Beichen. She had no choice but to follow behind Wang Beichen obediently, carrying the basket for her.
When passing by the trap they set up, Li Su suddenly ran over to take a look, and found that the weeds and branches on the trap seemed to have been moved. She was a little excited, "Second... No, Beichen , Wang Beichen, come here quickly!"
Wang Beichen trotted over to look at the trap, and was a little surprised. Could it be that she was wrong? There is more than one idiot in this place
Li Su had already put down the basket, and hurriedly removed the branches and weeds, and there was a fat rabbit lying inside! Pointy branches passed through its stomach, and the scene was bloody.
When Li Su's mother and daughter saw this scene, they were not as pretentious as how could a rabbit be so cute, but salivated instead.
"Beichen, what do we do with this rabbit? Should we take it back or eat it now?" Li Su said excitedly.
Although Wang Beichen really didn't want to take the rabbit back, because once he brought it back, the milk would definitely come to ask for it if no one told him. She didn't want to take advantage of her. But they already ate a pheasant today. The pheasant is leaner, the meat is lighter, and it doesn't have much oil. So they ate and their stomachs didn't respond. If you add this fat rabbit, you will probably have diarrhea.
Wang Beichen thought about it and sighed, "I'd better take it back!"
Li Su happily jumped into the pit, lifted the rabbit up, and rearranged the trap, "Let's take a look at it tomorrow morning, maybe there will be something to gain!"
Wang Beichen scoffed at her blank optimism, how could such a good thing happen.
The mother and daughter went down the mountain with a fat rabbit and a basket of fungi.
When I got home, I saw half a bag of things at the door, and Sanya was squatting beside her, poking ants on the ground with grass, bored.
Hearing the movement, Sanya raised her head, saw the rabbit in Li Su's hand, her eyes lit up, and she was about to grab it, "I'll take this rabbit to my grandma!"
Wang Beichen's eyes dimmed, but when he saw Li Su raised his hand, Sanya jumped into the air and almost didn't fall.
"What do you mean?" Sanya asked angrily.
"The rabbit I got, why give it to you! Go back and wait, I will send some rabbits there later." Li Su didn't plan to give them to them at first, but when he saw the things next to him, he thought not to go too far, so he Say so.
"That's fine, remember to keep the legs for us. If you don't give them away, I'll tell Nai and let her pick them up herself!" Sanya thought for a while and said, "Nai Nai asked me to bring them over there, and I'll give them after eating! "
Hmph, if it wasn't for that old bastard meddling in her own business, she wouldn't have made the trip so hard. But it's not in vain, there is rabbit meat to eat!
Sanya bounced back and ran back.
Li Su opened it and saw that there was half a bag of corn inside. Li Su was a little disgusted, but it was better than nothing.
Li Su picked up the bag in one hand and motioned for Wang Beichen to open the door. After entering, Li Su immediately asked Wang Beichen to boil water and picked up the rabbit by himself. Then cut up the cleaned rabbit without hesitation, and put half of it in a basket, "Go and send it to the great uncle's house, and just say thank you for his righteous words today. Your grandma gave us half a bag of corn."
Wang Beichen's eyes lit up, and he immediately went out with the basket. She would rather make this rabbit cheap for others than grandpa and grandma!
The remaining half, Li Su divided it into three parts, kept one part for himself, and gave the other part to the neighbor Wang Dagen's family. Aunt Dagen was a warm-hearted person, seeing her sending so much rabbit meat, she was so happy that she gave it to her. She took three eggs and some vegetables. Li Su accepted it with a smile.
The remaining portion was put on a plate, and I personally carried the plate and went to my father-in-law's house.
"Father, mother, this is the rabbit we picked up from the mountain today. I'll bring some to your elder brother to taste." Li Su said softly.
"No, it's such a big fat rabbit! Why is there only so little left!" Mrs. Fang heard Sanya say that her second daughter-in-law brought a rabbit back from the mountain. A stir-fried rabbit meat must be delicious. As a result, I saw that this little gift was not enough to fit between the teeth.
"I gave half to my fourth uncle. In the future, our orphans and widows will have to rely on my fourth uncle to take care of them. I also gave a little to Aunt Dagen, thanks to her care." Li Su said.
The author has something to say: Although it didn't snow, it was really cold this day, and I really didn't want to get up in the warm quilt in the morning. When I was typing, there was a foot dryer bought by a certain treasure under my feet, and a heating pad was spread on the table. Even so, my hands felt cold. Northerners rely on heating to survive the winter, and we rely on righteousness to survive the winter!
