If the two of them want to go into the mountains, they must not leave Su Laixi behind. Otherwise, Su Laixi won't be able to see them when she wakes up, and she might cry all over the village looking for them.
They had no choice but to go into the house and wake Su Laixi up.
Su Laixi, who had just been woken up, still looked confused. When she heard Su Ruanruan and Xiao Chengjin said that they were going into the mountains, she was so frightened that she flew away.
"Ruanbao, didn't you promise your parents not to go into the mountains again?"
"But there is no chicken at home. Fourth brother, do you still want to eat chicken and drink chicken soup?" Su Ruoran asked sharply.
Su Laixi hesitated again when she thought of the chicken soup she drank at noon.
The chicken is delicious! The chicken soup is delicious!
"Fourth brother, let's catch a few more pheasants, so that we can eat chicken and chicken soup every day." Su Ruanruan continued to encourage.
What else can Su Laixi do? Of course I can only agree!
Is it possible that a seven-year-old child can be expected to have any self-control
But this time, Su Ruanruan didn't plan to go empty-handed.
After rummaging around the house, Su Ruanruan found a hemp rope and a smaller sickle.
Hemp rope is much easier to use than vines, and it is perfect for tying pheasants.
As for the sickle, although I can’t think of its use yet, it’s always useful to bring it with you.
The three of them locked up and set off.
Following the path they took in the morning and climbing over the first dirt slope, the three of them arrived at the place where they caught the pheasant that morning.
It's just that it was quiet here at the moment, and no pheasants were seen after waiting for a while.
Neither Su Ruanruan nor Xiao Chengjin have the temperament to sit back and wait for death. If they can't wait for the pheasant, they are more willing to take the initiative.
Su Laixi wanted to object, but he couldn't do anything to two people alone, so he could only follow them and look around cautiously.
Compared with the mountains and rivers that stretch for who knows how far, this place is still peripheral after all.
Su Ruanruan had gone to the mountains to hunt wild boars, and she also knew what traces would be left if there were large wild animals moving around, so Su Ruanruan walked with confidence.
After walking a certain distance, Su Ruanruan discovered the pheasant's footprints and excrement.
The presence of these things meant that pheasants had been moving around here. Su Ruanruan immediately told Su Laixi and Xiao Chengjin to keep quiet, while she looked around cautiously.
I don’t know if it was because one of their companions was captured in the morning, but these pheasants were a lot more wary.
Su Ruanruan saw a few of them when she arrived, but the distance was too far, and she couldn't guarantee that she would be able to hit them with one hit, so she could only secretly wait for the opportunity.
Su Ruanruan is very patient, and so is Xiao Chengjin.
Su Laixi, the only one who was impatient, simply sat down on the ground. No matter what Su Ruanruan and Xiao Chengjin were going to do, he just kept quiet.
Su Ruanruan was very satisfied with Su Laixi's approach and became increasingly vigilant.
The three of them spent an entire afternoon in the woods, until the sky gradually darkened, then they packed up and headed back.
In fact, there was nothing to tidy up. The only thing they needed to tidy up was to take back a string of pheasants tied to a rope.
Su Ruoran thought that these pheasants were going to be sold in the county town. They were still alive and it was best to survive until tomorrow so that they could be sold at a good price, so she was unwilling to take them back.
The three of them discussed it and finally decided that Su Ruanruan would go ahead and put the rope on her shoulders.
Xiao Chengjin and Su Laixi walked behind, carrying the rope one behind the other.
