One year brought a great drought, the next year floods, and then, in a blink, a plague.
The Xu family fled from the north to the south, and then from the south back to the north.
Before...
"Grandma, that's not mine! It's all the blood of a stupid roe deer! Grandma, hurry up and get the knife. Let's kill the roe deer! We'll have barbecue tonight!"
Xu Ning was grinning as he held the silly roe deer. After receiving instructions from Old Lady Xu, he continued to carry the silly roe deer towards the stream on the other side of the cave. Xu Dabao quickly grabbed the only kitchen knife and the bamboo basket woven by Old Man Xu and caught up with him.
Finally, Xu Ning took the silly roe deer to the stream to wash off the blood, and Xu Da, who had checked other traps and came with a rabbit, dealt with it together.
Seeing that he couldn't help much, Xu Ning washed himself and his clothes together.
Old Mrs. Xu was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she asked her to go back to the cave and ask Zhang for some clean clothes to wear.
After Xu Ning returned to the cave and saw Feng, he remembered mugwort. After changing his clothes, he hurried out to pick a handful.
"Grandma, do you know this herb?" Xu Ning came to the stream again with mugwort in his arms.
"Mugwort?" Old Mrs. Xu took it and smelled it. After confirming that it was mugwort, she smiled and praised Xu Ning.
Xu Ning felt embarrassed by being praised by Old Lady Xu. He told Old Lady Xu to make some soup for Feng, then turned around and went to see Xu Da butchering the roe deer.
Xu Ning was excited about having meat to eat the whole afternoon. She had eaten roe deer meat several times before, both fried and braised, and it tasted very delicious!
And braised rabbit!
Thinking about being able to eat as much meat as he wanted in the evening, Xu Ning felt a little elated!
Near dusk, Xu Da had already skinned the rabbit and hung it in the cave, waiting for Li the Hunter to come back and prepare it. However, when it was almost dark, no one had waited for Li the Hunter to come back!
Feng's mouth was originally bloodless, and as the night grew darker, Feng's whole body began to stagger.
The Xu family was also very anxious. Xu Ning couldn't help but climb up the crooked tree with a telescope in the last ray of light and look for the figure of Li the Hunter.
