Chapter 202 (Catching Bugs)
After breakfast, Yunmian was sent by He Guizhi to the mountain to collect dry branches for firewood, and He Fang also followed with a basket on her back.
It was not very hot in the morning, so Yun Mian put the lighter on the stove in her pocket, and then pulled He Fang all the way to the back mountain.
The sound of cicadas could be heard in the woods. The breeze blew through the treetops. A dead, hairy chicken was hanging on the treetops, dangling precariously. It looked like the opening scene of a horror movie.
He Fang stopped and thought about the barking of the dog and the cursing of He Yongliang last night. Her suspicious gaze slowly shifted from the chicken to her sister.
Yunmian put her hands on her hips and smiled proudly: "Sister, we can secretly roast chicken in the mountains! This way we won't be hungry!"
"Did you steal this from their house last night?" He Fang couldn't clearly explain what her tone and mood were when she asked the question.
Facing her doubts, Yun Mian nodded affirmatively: "Yes, that dog was very fierce and almost bit me, but I still got the chicken out!"
He Fang has no sense of morality that her sister should not be a thief and should grow up well. She herself has not received any cultural education and was born and raised in such a sin-filled place. She has already done her best to protect Yun Mian.
So after getting a positive answer, she immediately stepped forward, took the chicken down and put it in the innermost part of the backpack, covered it with a few leaves as a cover, and then led Yunmian into the mountains.
When they reached a valley, He Fang quickly skewered the chicken on tree branches and put a newly lit fire on it.
After burning all the chicken feathers, He Fang used a sharp branch to cut open the chicken's stomach and took out all the internal organs. She then used leaves to clean the chicken's stomach before putting it back on the fire to roast.
They didn't have to worry about being discovered, at least not because of the thick smoke. After all, He Fang lit a very strong fire and there was very little black smoke floating into the sky.
After preparing the chicken and roasting it, He Fang turned her head to look at her sister, who was staring at the chicken with longing eyes, and asked her, "Where did you get the biscuits you brought back yesterday?"
"I tell them the stories they gave me~"
Yunmian explained the reason why Wang Zhiyong gave her snacks yesterday.
But He Fang only heard of Wang Zhiyong's presence.
The nine-year-old girl trembled all over when she heard the name, as if some terrible memory was brought back to her. She looked at Yunmian in a daze with a pale face.
"...Sister, what's wrong?" Yun Mian keenly noticed that something was wrong with her. She stopped staring at the chicken and walked up to He Fang, looking at her worriedly.
He Fang shook her head in fear, but this time she was the one staring at the flames in a daze.
Yunmian is not a stupid child. She has the memory of her sister hating that person. Last night, she managed to save the protagonist, Sister Xie Jinan, by stealing a chicken. A slight association between the two things is enough for her to think of some very bad things.
But the system knocked on the child's head and reminded her helplessly: "It's not like that, it must be another reason."
After all, how old is He Fang?
Yun Mian nodded as if she understood, then leaned over and hugged He Fang, who was still trapped in the memory of fear, and asked fiercely and righteously: "Sister, did that bad guy bully you? Tell me, I will go to their house to steal chickens again at night! I will steal all the chickens and ducks in their house, and I will throw stones at him when I see him next time!"
system:"……"
Son, do you know what it means to be a clay Buddha crossing the river?
Yun Mian obviously didn't know, but He Fang was pulled out of her memories by her words. She pursed her slightly cracked lips, turned the sizzling chicken that was roasted over the fire twice, and then sat back next to Yun Mian.
Yunmian then heard her admonition: "Mianmian, don't talk to Wang Zhiyong in the future. If you see him on the road, run away. Don't steal his chickens again. If he finds out, neither of us will live well anymore."
"Why?" Yun Mian tilted her head and looked at her curiously, and asked softly, "Is he a very big bad guy?"
He Fang clenched her fingers and nodded vigorously, with fear still lingering in her eyes.
Seeing this, Yun Mian nodded obediently: "Okay, then I won't say a word to him in the future."
The two sisters waited in the valley for the chicken to be slowly roasted. He Fang would occasionally let Yunmian sit alone in front of the fire and watch the fire, while she would carry a basket on her back and go to the woods to collect dead branches and firewood. Most of the firewood for the kitchen at home was picked up in this way by the two children.
Until the aroma of chicken mixed with fat gradually spread to the tip of her nose, Yun Mian stared at the golden smoked chicken, swallowed her saliva, and couldn't help but move closer to sniff it hard.
The chicken fat forced out of the skin and flesh by the fire sizzled out and occasionally dripped into the fire, which would explode into a dangerous and fragrant spark, constantly tempting the two children to keep their eyes completely glued to the roast chicken, unable to move away.
"Sister, this roasted chicken smells so good~" The child looked at his sister eagerly as she turned the roasted chicken.
In fact, the chicken was just roasted over fire without any seasoning, but the aroma of the meat and fat alone was enough to make the two greedy children drool.
When they were at home, they never had the chance to eat even a piece of meat, and being able to drink two sips of broth was an extreme luxury.
He Fang turned the roast chicken over and asked her sister to find some large leaves to spread on the ground.
While Yunmian was looking for leaves, she was still thinking about the roasted chicken. She touched her empty stomach and boasted to Uncle System that she could eat eight roasted chickens in one breath.
The system almost crashed into the tree trunk in front.
However, it did not refute the child to realize her actual appetite, but instead reminded her to chew slowly when eating.
The system said: "Your stomachs are very weak and you have never eaten oily or meaty food. If you suddenly eat a roasted chicken now, it will easily damage your stomachs. So you should let it cool down and eat it slowly. Try to chew the meat fibers into pieces before swallowing..."
Otherwise, not only will your stomach and intestines feel uncomfortable, but you will also most likely suffer from diarrhea afterwards.
The two children are already in poor health, and if they are tortured again, there is no need to wait for the player to complete the level before the cycle can be restarted.
Yunmian listened carefully to everything it said and kept it in mind. After returning to the valley with a thick pile of leaves, she surrounded her sister, watching her take the chicken off the branches, and repeating in a soft voice what the system uncle had just said.
Finally, the little boy used the folded leaves to fan his sister, tilted his head and asked her with curved eyes: "Sister, have you remembered? We have to eat slowly, so we won't get sick~"
The summer sunshine shines through the gaps in the treetops and leaves onto the children, casting mottled light and shadows. For a moment, the little girl holding the leaves with curved eyebrows looks more like an elf leisurely playing in the woods.
It's just that the elf's clothes are a little torn, his shoes are a little torn, and his pants are a little torn...
I don't know when a few dirty fingerprints appeared on the originally fair little face.
It was obviously a very ordinary picture, but when the system looked at it, it felt as if it had not seen such a beautiful and pure host for a long time.
Especially in this background environment where evil is breeding every day, the host can still be clean and cute. The system suddenly feels a little touched.
When Yun Jinxing first saw Mianmian pushing the door open, the first thing he saw should have been this clean and warm child, right?
Just like her name, white, soft and warm.
He Fang was a little dazed when she looked at her sister in the light and shadow. When she was awakened by a gust of wind, she saw the little girl holding the thick leaf stems with both hands, with her little face flushed, trying to fan herself.
In the face of her sister's expectant and bright eyes, He Fang nodded and said, "I know. You eat slowly too."
When the chicken on the leaves was no longer so hot, He Fang didn't care whether her hands were dirty or not. The two children put their heads together and shared the greasy roast chicken.
He Fang divided the roast chicken into three portions.
Yunmian and herself had one pile in front of each, and the other pile was carefully wrapped with clean leaves, tied up with long grass leaves and placed aside.
She looked at her confused sister, licked her greasy fingers, and said to her, "You can secretly take this packet to your mother to eat later. Remember to dig a hole and bury the chicken bones and leaves."
Yunmian: “!!!”
The next second, He Fang was caught off guard and was enthusiastically pounced on by the puppy. The furry head kept rubbing against her. The little boy hummed happily: "Sister~ You are so nice, I like you so much~ I like you so much! Sister, sister, sister..."
He Fang: “…”
The system squatted on the tree branch and watched the NPC He Fang's face slowly turn red under the host's coquettish skills.
No one can escape Yun Mianmian's puppy-like coquetry and soft praise!
Even the host's mother couldn't escape it, let alone He Fang, a nine-year-old girl who had never been exposed to normal emotions?
Even when she was pushed away and sat on the stone chewing the chicken slowly, Yunmian would take a look at the bag of chicken for her mother and then purse her greasy little lips and give her sister a soft, silly smile.
He Fang: “…”
In her limited life, she had never met such a strange and... irresistible sister.
What went wrong with the sister whom I raised with so much effort?
She put down the chicken skeleton with little meat on it, put out the fire with a branch, and then got some mud to cover and extinguish the fire.
Then he flattened the soil with his feet, and then took his sister, who was eating meat, to pick up more dead branches to use as firewood.
There was a lot of chicken in this chicken, and it was difficult for the system to tell whether the host had targeted and caught this chicken in advance. After the whole chicken was plucked, the internal organs were removed and roasted, one portion was given out, and the remaining two children could eat their fill.
This was probably the first and most delicious full meal they had ever eaten.
So much so that on the way back, even the precocious He Fang was humming an inaccurate tune, and her stern face finally became a little more childish.
Yunmian held the bag of chicken wrapped in leaves in her arms and ran back skipping all the way.
On the way back, the topics between the two children gradually drifted away.
"Sister, what do you want to do when you grow up?" Yun Mian held the fragrant chicken in her arms, turned around and asked He Fang curiously.
He Fang was walking slowly down the rugged path, carrying a basket full of dead branches and firewood. After hearing this, she thought for a moment and said, "When I grow up, I will earn money to send you to school."
Yun Mian was stunned, and stood there staring at He Fang walking towards her, getting closer and closer.
"Why..." Yun Mian asked softly until she came to her, "Sister has to go to school too. She can teach me after she learns. My mother will also teach me. I can learn a lot even if I don't go to school."
As he spoke, the child ran behind his sister and tried to help her hold up the heavy bottom of the basket. Then he heard his sister say something very mature in her childish voice: "I can't go to school anymore. In a few years I will be sold to marry. You are still young. I will work hard to earn money to buy you and send you to school."
Yunmian was a little confused.
What does it mean to be sold to marry? And then you have to buy yourself away?
She didn't understand, but the child's keen intuition made her realize the heavy weight in her sister's words, which made her stomach, which had just been full, ache slightly.
"Uncle, why do people have to be sold to get married? Does it cost a lot of money? Can I buy my sister back?" Yun Mian had many doubts in her mind.
The system looked at the two girls' small and thin backs, and after a moment of silence, it said to the confused host: "Don't be afraid, Mianmian, she will not be sold, and no one can sell her. Once the game is cleared, she will get the freedom she wants."
I am very relaxed today, so I will update it early~
