Because Xiang Wanying said to herself:
"The eldest lady does not have absolute decision-making power over marriage."
"As long as you are with the eldest lady in the future, I, Qin Ruoyan, and Qin Ruoshuang can all be yours."
"For the Xiang family, the best solution is for the eldest daughter to have more children at the right age and under safe conditions..."
One thing that is very clearly revealed in these words is that Xiang Lingying, as an important party in a marriage or relationship, does not have the direct right to know or make decisions.
This is different from my peers who, when seeing a pretty girl, all the blood in their brains gathers in their lower abdomen, and they only think about falling in love, increasing their feelings, experiencing ambiguity, or the pleasure of sex.
Zhang Liu, who had tasted the fickleness of the world early on, had no concrete feelings about love at all.
It can also be said that he never thought that he would be qualified to fall in love.
On the contrary, Zhang Liu has a very clear plan for his future marriage partner.
The first condition is that the family cannot be too poor.
Because he estimated that he would need to take care of his two younger sisters.
It is definitely impossible to offer a astronomical gift of hundreds of thousands of yuan when one is in their twenties or thirties, which is a suitable age for marriage.
Secondly, there is nothing else.
If I really have to say, it would probably be character requirements such as loyalty and world outlook, etc.
This kind of thing is the prerequisite for getting along before marriage. Zhang Liu doesn't think he will marry the other party under such uncertainty.
So even though Xiang Lingying is only proposing a real boyfriend-girlfriend relationship to him right now.
But Zhang Liu also wanted to ask Xiang Wanying for her opinion.
Then everyone started talking about this topic directly.
Putting everything out in the open would be a responsible move for Xiang Lingying.
The minimum point is that he needs to confirm whether the relationship between himself and Xiang Lingying will affect the relationship between him and Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang.
Is it really as Xiang Wanying said, that without the support of the Xiang family, it would be impossible for him to be with Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang at the same time?
Just when I was thinking about this.
Zhang Liu felt inexplicably guilty in his heart, as if he owed someone something.
At the same time, he sighed slightly, because although he had received the promise from Xiang Wanying, he still didn't know what Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang thought...
To be honest, Zhang Liu was afraid that his efforts would end up in vain...
If an ordinary girl hears what the boy in front of her says to her, she will probably think it is a polite rejection.
But Xiang Lingying won’t.
Because she had seen the sincerity in Zhang Liu's eyes.
Moreover, his personality makes it very easy for him to believe this kind of explanation.
He nodded slightly, then blushed and said shyly to Lingying: "Well, I'll wait for you!"
"Okay!" Zhang Liu, who also didn't realize that if he said this to any girl, it would result in a quarrel between them, nodded happily.
After remaining silent for about half a minute, he felt that he could no longer control his legs and said awkwardly, "Can you get off my legs first? My legs are numb and I can't move."
No matter how warm and tender Xiang Lingying was, and how full of love she was...
She herself weighs at least 100 kilograms.
Therefore, after pressing on the thighs for such a long time, it is natural that it will cause problems such as blood circulation problems.
Zhang Liu couldn't use the method of bending his thigh to send Xiang Lingying down now...
Hearing the man she was hugging speak like this, Xiang Lingying felt shy and quickly moved back.
However, because of her poor center of gravity, she lay on her back on the ground in front of the shelter. Her body under her nightgown was immediately visible to Zhang Liu who was sitting down from a bird's-eye view.
Zhang Liu looked away awkwardly and suddenly thought of Xiang Wanying.
In terms of appearance, all we can say is that there is indeed a difference between the two maids.
But there's not much difference.
The gap between him and Qin Ruoshuang is slightly larger.
Not only is it more closed...
And it’s also thinner…
"Zhang Liu, don't turn around yet!"
She had no idea that she was being compared to the man in front of her.
After Xiang Lingying got up from the ground, she ran to the shelter behind Zhang Liu, and began to put on her underwear, not forgetting to remind the other party not to turn around casually.
Although he had already seen all the places he could see in less than half a day, driven by the desire to survive, Zhang Liu said nothing more. He just silently looked at the fire in front of him that had begun to shrink and began to think about his future work arrangements.
After a while, Xiang Lingying ran to his side. She turned her head to look at the sun that had moved to the west, and said in a rather helpless tone: "It's almost dusk. If we go back now, it will be too late, right?"
"Well, then you can accompany me to dig a hole here." Turning his head to look at Xiang Lingying who was already dressed and even had her hair styled a little, Zhang Liu said, "But tonight, each of us can only eat half a piece of jerky."
There are currently two palm-sized pieces of jerky in his backpack.
This is the breakfast Zhang Liu booked for tonight and tomorrow morning.
One piece per meal.
Pork itself is rich in calories, so after eating such a big piece, you won’t be too hungry at night.
And now that Xiang Lingying wanted to stay here overnight, he could only give her half.
As for giving Xiang Lingying a piece of jerky directly...
It’s not that Zhang Liu is reluctant to do so, but he has to consider the food for tomorrow morning.
In his original plan, he was going to dig a hole after eating the jerky tomorrow morning.
With the help of stone hoes and shovels, the overall efficiency should be very fast, and it is estimated that one morning will be enough to complete the digging.
Then, around noon, I would go to the mountains to find some fruits and bring them back to fill my stomach for lunch and dinner.
As for the afternoon, I will complete the trap and put the bait, and also make a larger clay pot for cooking.
Everything that follows will just be left to time, waiting for the hunting results tomorrow night or the early morning of the day after tomorrow.
If we see a successful hunt the day after tomorrow morning, we can just kill the sheep and eat the meat.
If the hunt is unsuccessful, I will have to return to the mountainside on an empty stomach and continue to make taro flour.
Thinking of taro flour, a portable food, at this moment, Zhang Liu felt a little regretful.
If I had known Xiang Lingying would be here, I should have brought down half a can of taro powder...
"Yes! Okay!" Although she had not married yet, after hearing the apology in Zhang Liu's voice, Xiang Lingying suddenly felt that she was about to "follow her husband" as she responded.
I secretly looked up at the boy in front of me who started taking things out of his backpack as soon as I heard the answer.
She felt a bit of sweetness and began to imagine that when she ate the jerky later... should she tear off a little and put it in the other person's mouth?
Just like an old married couple!
But what made Xiang Lingying speechless was that what Zhang Liu took out was not dried meat.
Instead, there were two stones as big as her hands.
The shape is very special, being wide and thick in the front and narrow in the back.
And there is a shallow groove in the middle of the wide part of one of the pieces.
Looking at the boy in front of him in confusion, Xiang Lingying's eyes were filled with incomprehension, as his psychological expectation was completely contrary to hers.
Didn’t Zhang Liu just talk about the topic of eating?
What are you going to do now that you have taken out two stones?
That stone for a slate barbecue?
At this moment, she completely forgot what Zhang Liu had just said, "Then you stay and dig the hole", so she could only rely on her own understanding to interpret the two stones into ideas like stone slab barbecue.
"Well, now come with me and dig a hole. Maybe we can catch a sheep tomorrow afternoon."
Shrugging his shoulders and then speaking, Zhang Liu did not notice anything wrong in Xiang Lingying's eyes.
In his opinion, since the other party had agreed to only eat half a piece of jerky, he could stay overnight.
In order to increase the probability of hunting, he needed to pull Xiang Lingying to dig a hole and prepare a sheep trap early.
Zhang Liu had been searching for these two stones in the river on the top of the mountain for a long time before he finally found them. So he took the trouble to put them in his backpack and carry them down the mountain...
The blocks are relatively large, making them very suitable for shoveling mud.
Moreover, there is a groove in the middle of one of the pieces, which can be used to hold the wooden stick to prevent it from slipping.
"Dig a hole? Catch sheep?" After hearing Zhang Liu's words, Xiang Lingying repeated them subconsciously and was stunned for a while.
Then she listened to Zhang Liu, who was using two branches to attach handles to two stones, explaining the entire hunting plan.
"Well, if we lay a net at the entrance of the cave, it will indeed be effective..."
Holding a stone shovel, Xiang Lingying started digging the ground while communicating with the boy in front of him.
Overall, Zhang Liu's idea is very simple.
That is to dig a pit two meters square and about one and a half meters deep on the ground.
Considering the jumping ability of goats, this kind of pit definitely cannot trap them.
So other traps need to be set.
The first layer of the trap is a mesh-like trap surface that traps the sheep's hooves.
Of course, it would be great if you could wrap the goat directly with a net.
The idea came from his first successful goat hunting experience, which was done with a rope net.
The second trap is to install a sharpened half-meter long piece of wood at the bottom of the pit.
Although I don't know how lethal they are, under the gravity acceleration of about one meter, these pieces of wood should still be able to cause stabbing.
Installing wooden spikes is a dangerous job.
Zhang Liu chose to hand it over to Xiang Lingying to complete after digging the pit.
Not because he was afraid of danger.
But because he wanted to climb out of the 1.5-meter-deep cave, he needed the strength of his arms.
Since he was alone, Zhang Liu had no choice but to go ahead.
Now that Xiang Lingying is here, it is natural for the two of them to pull them up hand in hand.
Let Xiang Lingying pull a boy up.
That would definitely not be as safe as Zhang Liu directly pulling Xiang Lingying out of the cave.
Chapter 393: The one who is given special attention...
Digging holes is a very boring job.
Moreover, the stone shovels and stone hoes were just structures tied together with rattan skin.
It works fine for the first few times.
But after a dozen swings, it starts to come loose.
At that time, he and Xiang Lingying would have to loosen up and then adjust the tightness again...
Just when Zhang Liu and the future heirs of the Xiang family were having a lot of fun digging a hole near the green pool at the foot of the southern side of the hill.
On the hillside, a burn was being prepared.
Compared to the soil at the foot of the mountain that is full of grass roots and difficult to dig, the soil in this open space on the mountainside appears to be very sensible.
It is pure brick red soil, but the color is slightly black, probably because the leaf humus inside has not been completely lost.
There aren't too many bamboo or tree roots inside, so digging is extremely easy.
Xiang Wanying, Anya, Su Yan, and Lan Yueting only spent one afternoon.
