Farmer's Ruyi Manor

Chapter 5 Digging (1)
Unknowingly at this moment, Xiao Ting held her breath, her eyes widened, and she didn't dare to blink, for fear of missing the best time to catch chickens.

I saw the chicken walking slowly, and I didn't know what it was doing in the nest. Xiao Ting thought that the dustpan on it was found?The branches that Xiao Ting made to support them were only about half a meter long, and they were relatively thick to support the basket. After confirming that the soil was relatively loose, she made it.Just when Xiao Ting was in a hurry, the pheasant finally sat down slowly.

I don't know if Xiao Ting was too lucky, the pheasant didn't find anything wrong.She quickly pulled the rope and buckled the basket. When the pheasant was thumping inside, Xiao Ting ran over at a speed of [-] meters, pressing the basket with one hand and reaching in to grab the chicken with the other. With slow cooperation, I finally caught the two wings of the pheasant.Turning around, I found some grass and tied the chicken wings, and then tied the chicken feet.It was only at this moment that I came back to my senses. I was so excited just now, and all kinds of delicious chicken appeared in front of my eyes.Fighting for the meat, so the running speed is so fast.You must know that when she was studying and taking physical education class, Xiaoting's sprint and long-distance running were never passed, so she still lacked the motivation to explode.

But at the moment Xiao Ting doesn't think so, she is still proud of herself for running fast and having meat to eat!However, she regretted it a bit, and put 4 eggs back into the nest that she dug out before, and now there are only 2 left.Under the thumping of the pheasants, two have been broken.Xiao Ting packed the wild vegetables, and after thinking about it, the egg yolk is still good. In this era when there is no food, it is shameful to waste it.So I took the remaining half of the two egg yolks, randomly found a relatively large leaf, wrapped them in a basket.He went to the place where he was squatting just now, put the dozen or so eggs and wild vegetables into the basket, and with the pheasant in his hand, he bounced around to find the cheap mother.

That pheasant weighed about two to three catties, and it was almost noon now, and his stomach was already rumbling with hunger.The cheap mother happened to call over there: "Xiaohua, where are you? Mother has already picked it up, let's go home and eat." You must know that the cheap mother's basket is a big one, and it takes a lot of time to fill it up.Relatively speaking, Xiao Ting's basket is a little smaller, she is only 8 years old.People are small and weak, so they can't do the work of adults.

"Mom, I've picked half of the basket, let's go home quickly, I'm starving to death." Xiao Ting replied loudly before seeing the cheap mother, and then walked towards the place where the voice was just now.

"Xiao Hua, why did you only pick half of the basket. Hey, the number of wild vegetables being picked is getting less and less. If we are picking less, I don't know what to do next."

Xiao Ting finally saw the cheap mother. In fact, that mother's name was really convoluted. The woman who was younger than herself in modern times was almost called her sister, but there was no way, who let her daughter's body be taken.To be known, one must be burned to death as a monster.

"Mother, look, I caught a pheasant and took some eggs. These are for my younger brother, mother and grandma."

"Xiaohua is good, our Xiaohua is sensible now, and knows how to love mother, mother is useless, let you worry about it." Cheap mother now looks like she is super useless, and she wants her young daughter to worry about this.When it was over, he put on an eager look, and quickly asked, "By the way, Xiao Hua, how did you catch the pheasant just now, didn't you get hurt?"

"Mother, it's fine, look at me, not a single piece of skin has been broken." After Xiao Ting finished speaking, she turned around to the cheap mother.

"Then what's the matter with your eyes, why are they red?" Cheap Niang looked anxious about her clothes.

"Mother, I'm really fine. When I was running just now, I accidentally blew something into my eyes, so I rubbed them. Why don't you, mother, give me a blow." After finishing speaking, he moved forward.

Cheap lady, put down what she was holding, and squatted down.After checking Xiao Ting for a while, she pulled Xiao Ting to her, asked Xiao Ting to close her eyes, opened her eyelids, and blew.Do the same for both eyes.Maybe she saw both eyes were red, so she didn't ask which eye it was.

"Mother, I caught pheasants like this just now... You see, I caught a pheasant that is so big now, mother, do you think I should catch more pheasants? If it is a female, then let's keep a few eggs , cut off the feathers of the pheasant, let the eggs hatch, and give birth to a few more chickens. Do you think about it, in this way, we can have a few more chickens, and the chickens can still lay eggs when they grow up..." Xiao Ting told the cheap mother Brainwashing, told the principle of the chicken laying the egg, and the egg laying the chicken, and drew a big cake for the cheap mother.

"Xiao Hua, is what you said true?" Cheap Niang quickly held Xiao Ting's shoulders with both hands, with an excited look on her face, it seemed that she was really poor, and she suddenly saw hope in despair , the eyes are bright, the corners of the mouth are raised, and a look of uncontrollable joy.

Um, will the cake be too big?Xiao Ting secretly clings to it in her heart.So he quickly said: "Mother, it is true that it is so, but now there is a problem that needs to be resolved."

"What's the problem, tell me quickly."

"Mother, look, I told you how I caught the pheasant just now, right?"

"I know this, didn't you just say it?" Cheap Niang was full of doubts at the moment, and her mind was full of chicken and egg, and egg and chicken.

"Mother, look, I have to be watched by people all the time to catch pheasants, and there are relatively few pheasants, and it is not easy to catch. Then mother, do you think there is any better way than this? It doesn't need people Staring at it." Xiao Ting has been thinking about this question.In fact, she also thought about digging a hole, that is, a trap, and letting animals fall into it.But can't this pheasant fly?Besides, there are no big animals in the grass. I haven't seen any rabbits so far, and there are no footprints of little rabbits.Not to mention, rabbits are very difficult to raise. When I was a sophomore, the dormitory sisters raised a rabbit. It was super difficult to raise, and it was so delicate that it pulled several times a day.He gets sick every now and then, maybe because he is inexperienced, but he is still inexperienced now. The rabbit was given away after less than a week of raising it.

In addition, even if a hole is dug, at least something should be laid on it, so that pheasants and the like can pass over it.But if the grass is laid, the weight of the pheasant is only a few kilograms, and it can fly. This is not a good way.

"Xiao Hua, mother has never thought about this problem, do you have other ways?" Jing Niang has calmed down now, although she is a weak woman, deeply poisoned by various ancient ideas, but she is not stupid , It’s just that many concepts have been educated from generation to generation, and the same is true of the surrounding women.Therefore, it is taken for granted that women only need to be able to give birth, take care of children, cook clothes, know how to sew, serve their husbands, be filial to their parents, and help out when farming is busy.They don't need to worry about other things.
