Chapter 44 Just be safe and sound

Seeing the prey that had been bled in the space, Lu Jinnian nodded with satisfaction.

Not bad, after running a long circle, it was considered a harvest, not bad.

The rest was to wait a little longer. At this time, the snow in the mountains was too heavy, and she was exhausted from chasing these wild boars.

Looking at the messy footprints, Lu Jinnian took a break, and then returned with the axe.

Because she chased the wild boar too far just now, the journey back was also long.

Fortunately, it didn't snow today, and she followed the footprints and found the right way in a short while.

Arriving at the cave before, Lu Jinnian took a break there, and then entered the space to decompose the wild boar.

The meat of the piglet was a little better and not too hard. After she separated it, she carried the meat home.

It was already dark, and this trip took another day. I have to say that time flies so fast on such days.

When she was about to get home, Lu Jinnian put the pork in the backpack and walked home slowly.

"Big brother."

The three of them were still waiting for her to come back outside. It was so cold, and they didn't even know to go inside.

"Don't wait for me outside in the future!" Lu Jinnian's tone was not very good. These three people were good in every way, but they were too worried.

Hearing this, the three little ones didn't say anything, and lowered their heads as if they were children who had done something wrong.

"Okay, hurry up and go inside. It's so cold outside." She sighed, and then took the lead and walked into the yard.

At the door, she put down the backpack. Because there was a fire in the house, it was convenient for her to deal with it here.

"I'll go light a torch." Lu Jincheng hurried into the house and fiddled with it.

Lu Jinxin went to get the wooden basin. She had already seen that the backpack was full of meat. There was no need to ask, just help directly.

The meat was divided into small pieces by Lu Jinnian, and a lot of meat was left on the bones. This thing is particularly fragrant when stewed.

Then bury the divided meat in the refrigerator, and it's done.

The refrigerator is a square made of wood, with stone pieces as partitions inside, so there is no need to worry about mice.

After putting the meat on top, put a layer of snow on top, so that even if it is hot, it will not melt too quickly.

Use wood to seal the top layer, and it will be a refrigerator. But after the spring, it will be a place to raise rabbits at most. After

dealing with everything, everyone will eat first, because it is too late, and the three of them are hungry.

"Don't wait for me for dinner in the future, and don't wait outside, okay?" Lu Jinnian was a little helpless.

Because this is because her younger brother and sister care about her, so they wait outside.

But she really doesn't need to do this, especially in the mountains, where there are dangers everywhere.

Hearing her words, the three of them did not respond, because they just wanted to wait...

Seeing that no one spoke, Lu Jinnian couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's not that I think it's bad for you to wait for me, but this is the wild. If it was in the village, I wouldn't say anything."

"Not to mention that you may encounter bad people, the wild beasts are hungry at this time. What if they attack you? This is what I am most worried about."

There are some things she can't take care of all. She has to support her family and take care of their personal safety.

So it is normal to be careless sometimes.

Hearing her say this, the three little ones all felt that this was the truth.

"Brother, I will take good care of them." As the second brother, Lu Jincheng also has to pay attention to protecting his younger brothers and sisters.

Now he has to go to school, and he can't always cause trouble for his eldest brother.

Hearing this, Lu Jinnian nodded, "I don't have any requirements for you for the time being, as long as you are safe and sound, and we will talk about the future when you grow up."

The three children are very sensible. She knows that everyone wants to share her burden, but they are too young and have limited abilities, so they can only do small things.

After talking to them, Lu Jinnian turned around to stew the big bones. The meat of this thing is too hard, so it needs to be cooked for a while longer.

Put two pieces of meat in, and turn down the fire, just don't burn it out.

"What a nice smell!" Lu Jinqiu lay in bed, staring at the fire and drooling.

Although they also ate meat at night, they couldn't resist the temptation of this thing.

Lu Jinnian smiled and said, "You can eat it tomorrow morning, go to bed quickly."

The meat couldn't be eaten yet, so she could only urge her brother to go to bed quickly.

Everyone fell asleep smelling the aroma of meat, with smiles on their faces.

Lu Jinnian stewed the bones for more than two hours before going to bed.

The fire can't be added too much, just put a piece of wet wood on it and let it burn slowly, otherwise the room will be too cold.

As for carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, there is no need to worry about them, because the fireplace has a large vent, strong suction and ventilation.

The next morning, Lu Jinnian just opened his eyes and found Lu Jinqiu squatting next to the fireplace, staring at the pot.

"What are you doing? Have you washed your face?" She said helplessly.

Seeing that she had woken up, Lu Jinqiu smiled awkwardly, "Brother, I washed my face and brushed my teeth."

At this time, basically no one brushed their teeth. Except for the wealthy families, the common people would at most simply brush their teeth with branches and charcoal.

Their family had wooden toothbrushes, so they brushed their teeth every day.

Lu Jinnian folded the quilt and said, "Let your sister prepare the meal."

The meat in the pot was kept warm, and firewood was added in the morning, so it was not cold at all.

The rice was the leftover rice from last night, which was placed on the fireplace with a lid, so it was also warm.

This is how everyone puts food these days, saving time and effort, and most importantly, saving firewood.

"Okay! Let's eat!" Lu Jinqiu hurried out to call people.

The two people outside were sorting the firewood. Looking at the neatly arranged firewood, they were particularly satisfied.

Because there was more firewood, they would not be afraid of the cold in the future.

Everyone sat around the dining table. The meat had been stewed. With chopsticks, the meat was easily poked into shredded meat.

"It smells so good!" Lu Jinqiu held the bowl with a smile on his face.

The broth soaked the rice and tasted fragrant and appetizing.

Although they often ate meat during this period, everyone seemed to be not eating enough, or it might be because the previous days were too hard.

After dinner, Lu Jinnian carried a backpack and prepared to go out.

"Brother, why are you going out again? These things are enough for us to eat until the spring." Lu Jinxin was actually very worried.

Every time her brother went out, she would be nervous.

The beasts in the mountains were ferocious, but for some reason, Lu Jinnian could always get something, and it was especially abundant.

Looking at her brother who was very different from before, she felt very bitter in her heart, all because of the pressure of life...

"I'll go out for a walk, it's okay." Lu Jinnian also wanted to see if there were other places suitable for building a house.

Although this place is close to the water source, people or beasts will also encounter it.

They are in the mountains, so there will be more dangers.

No one said anything after hearing this. Anyway, Lu Jinnian is more powerful than them and can kill wild boars. When they see wild boars, they can only sit on the ground in fear.
