After saying the harsh words, Yun Xi dropped the pole, filled another bucket of water, and left with two buckets.
After returning, she poured the water into the tank and went to pick it up a second time.
After going to the well this time, Wang Laizi was no longer there, leaving only a pool of wet soil on the ground.
Yun Xi glanced at it emotionlessly, fetched water, and left quickly.
After the water tank was full, she carried two more buckets and placed them directly under the sun. The sun was very strong at noon. As long as it was exposed to the sun for a while, the water would not get cold. It could be used directly for bathing at night without having to burn it again.
After that, she went to the woodshed and sorted out the herbs and wild vegetables she dug in the morning.
All these herbs can relax the muscles, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and strengthen the bones. They were specially dug for Ji Jiuye to use.
Yun Xi prepared the proportion of herbs, washed them, and boiled them over low heat.
While the medicine was boiling, she dragged the wild boar out of the woodshed and disemboweled it.
Her movement attracted Erbao and Yaya. When the brother and sister saw the ferocious wild boar, they were frightened. They looked at it from a distance and did not dare to approach Yunxi at all.
Later, after confirming that the thing was dead, the brother and sister plucked up the courage and approached cautiously.
"Sister-in-law, where did this big guy come from? Why does he look so like a pig?"
Yaya tilted her head and looked at the wild boar curiously.
Before Yun Xi could say anything, Erbao looked at his sister with disgust, "It's not like a pig. Pigs don't have such long teeth."
"Just like a pig."
Yaya said something unconvinced and looked at her brother angrily.
"Not like a pig."
Although Erbao also thought that this big guy looked like a pig, he was still stubborn because of the two fangs.
"Like, like a pig. If you don't believe me, ask sister-in-law." She agreed to let her brother ask, but Yaya turned to look at Yun Xi and asked eagerly, "Sister-in-law, do you think this big guy looks like a pig?" ?Hmph, hum..."
As she spoke, the little girl put two fingers on the tip of her nose, imitating a pig's squeaking sound.
Yun Xi was amused by her. She raised her head from her busy work and looked at her. She smiled softly and said, "It's very similar."
After receiving Yun Xi's answer, Yaya was immediately very happy. She turned her head and put her hands on her hips, looking at her brother with a proud look on her face.
"Look, my sister-in-law said she looks like a pig, but she just looks like a pig."
Erbao silently looked away, not wanting to continue looking at his silly sister. She was really so silly that he couldn't even see her.
"Sister-in-law, where does this come from?"
Erbao asked curiously as he watched Yun Xi's skillful skinning and bleeding.
"My sister-in-law picked this up when she went to the mountains this morning."
Yun Xi replied casually, she couldn't tell this kid that she killed him, right
Picked up... Picked up...
Erbao's little black eyes suddenly widened. My sister-in-law is so powerful, why can't he pick it up
When it was getting dark, Yun Xi finally took care of several hundred kilograms of wild boar.
There was a pile of meat on the floor of the woodshed.
Wild boar meat is not as delicious as domestic pork, so Yun Xi plans to save only a little of the meat and make the rest into bacon.
After making the bacon, I was considering keeping it all to eat or selling it. Anyway, the bacon can be stored for a long time.
In the evening, Yun Xi stewed all four pig's trotters, and mixed two cold dishes with the wild vegetables she dug. The staple food was white rice.
When dinner was served, Ji Jiuye was a little confused looking at the pig's trotters cut into small pieces on the plate. After a moment, he looked at Yun Xi.
"I heard from Erbao that you picked up a wild boar?"
When Erbao first told him, he thought it was extremely ridiculous.
Wild boars only appear in the deep mountains. Even if there are dead wild boars, they will probably be eaten by other beasts. How can they be picked up by people
She was busy outside all afternoon, and he didn't have a chance to talk to her. Now I know that Erbao wasn't talking nonsense. Did she really pick up a wild boar
"Yes, I encountered it this morning when I went into the mountains to dig wild vegetables. This wild boar seemed to have fought with other wild animals. When I encountered it, I only had one breath left."
With only one breath left, it is also a ferocious beast, and it is also very dangerous.
Ji Jiuye frowned uncontrollably, "Have you gone to the mountains?"
Yun Xi shook her head innocently, "I don't know. I'm not familiar with Hougou Village, so I don't know if it's a deep mountain."
Ji Jiuye:…
Only then did he think that Yun Xi had been married to Hougou Village for less than twenty days, and she had not been anywhere in the past twenty days. This morning might be her first time entering the mountains, so how could she know where it was? What about deep mountains
"It's too dangerous. Don't stray too far from the village in the future."
Ji Jiuye couldn't imagine what she, a weak woman, would do if the wild boar retaliated before death.
"Okay, I get it now."
Yun Xi nodded in agreement. It seemed that she would have to do a lot of things that were both overt and treacherous in the future.
Although wild boar meat is not as delicious as domesticated pork, after being tempered by Yun Xi's cooking skills, it is also very delicious. The two little ones, Erbao and Yaya, had their mouths full of oil and kept saying how delicious it was.
Although Ji Jiuye was very reserved, the joyful emotion he showed could prove that the rice was indeed very fragrant.
After eating halfway through, Ji Jiuye suddenly picked up a bone, which was considered a relatively complete piece.
Judging from his experience, this wild boar is probably at least an adult, and an adult wild boar must weigh at least four to five hundred kilograms.
Ji Jiuye looked at Yun Xi with a profound look in his eyes and said, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, how did you get this wild boar back?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Xi knew that he might have some clues.
But she remained calm, her brows twitched, and she said calmly, "Ms. sir, I was born with supernatural powers. I am just a wild boar. I got it back casually."
Ji Jiuye:…
Innate divine power
Sure
He felt she was lying to him, but he had no proof.
After all, although the two have been married for almost twenty days, in fact, he only recently discovered that he doesn't understand her at all.
After the meal, Yun Xi poured the prepared medicine into a bowl, which was exactly one bowl, and brought it to Ji Jiuye.
"Ms. sir, this is the medicine I specially prepared for you. It's good for your leg injury. Drink it while it's hot."
Ji Jiuye looked at the medicine bowl in her hand. He could smell the strong bitter smell through the air. He frowned with a look of resistance on his face.
It was this expression that made Yun Xi misunderstand him. Yun Xi thought that he suspected that she wanted to poison him.
She sighed and took a sip first. After drinking it, she looked at Ji Jiuye again.
"Ms. sir, you see I drank it, it's not poisonous."
Ji Jiuye:…
He thought again about his previous suspicion of Yun Xi poisoning her food. It seemed that that incident had affected her to a certain extent, so much so that she would now use this situation to prove her innocence.
Ji Jiuye couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, but also a little comfortable.
