Chapter 36: First Update: Master of Speech
The next day, when Ye Yu was called to get up, he wrapped himself in the quilt and rolled around on the bed, pretending to be trapped by the bed.
Until someone outside urged:
"Dinner is ready."
Ye Yu sat up reflexively. Damn it, this move was really a fatal blow to her.
It's Han Jing's turn to cook today.
Seeing Ye Yu carrying a sparrow out, he was stunned for a moment and said, "It might be too late to clean it now. Besides, I've only roasted sparrows before, I don't know how to cook them any other way."
What kid hasn't caught sparrows these days? Some, like the Runtu in Mr. Zhou's article, primarily lure people in.
When Han Jing was a child, he relied more on a slingshot, which he even brought with him to the countryside. He once dreamed of a free rural life where he could hunt birds and roe deer.
Oh, tears come to my eyes whenever I mention it.
Ye Yu didn't know Han Jing's childhood memories, so he glanced at the sparrow:
“This is the food reserve.”
The sparrow pretending to be dead chirped.
After spending the whole night last night, Ye Yu confirmed that this sparrow was either originally a highly intelligent individual, or it had become a little smarter thanks to the mutant mutton.
The main manifestation is tamability.
After some coercion and inducement, the little sparrow no longer made noise when she slept. It didn't understand what she was saying and didn't know what "reserve food" meant, but it knew she was calling it.
As an animal, it is sensitive to murderous intent. For example, when Ye Yu is thinking about when to eat it, it will flap its wings twice and rub its little head against her hand.
There is nothing else, it is limited to this and is far from the level of mutation.
ps:
No genetic mutation, tastes normal.
"It's quite cute," Hua Feifei, who also loves furry things, couldn't help but reach out and touch it twice. "It's a pity that it's a pest and will destroy the crops."
"It rubbed against me!"
"Really good."
Since he could feel Ye Yu's danger and murderous intent, he could naturally feel Hua Feifei's kindness and pity, as well as some love and happiness that had just arisen in him.
Ye Yu hadn't figured out what to do with this little guy yet. Eating it was not impossible, but after all, it was just a sparrow that could accompany him to eat mutant beasts.
It's quite fun to tease him when he has nothing to do.
There is no shortage of sparrows in the space. Sparrows can be defined as the "four pests" together with mice, flies and mosquitoes. In addition to harming crops, there are really a lot of them.
"Here, you can play with it." Ye Yu threw the sparrow to Hua Feifei and added, "If you kill it, just remember to return it to me. Roasted sparrows are delicious."
Hua Feifei:
...Did people say that?
The little sparrow did regain some vitality in Hua Feifei's hands. She couldn't let these four pests go out to destroy the crops, so she found a thin rope to tie its legs. The sparrow didn't struggle at all during the whole process.
It was not until Ye Yu left the kitchen to wash the dishes that the little sparrow flapped its wings and flew towards her.
Not leaving?
But fly towards Ye Yu?
"Could it be that he thinks Ye Yu is the mother of the sparrow?" Hua Feifei couldn't believe it. Ye Yu was not gentle to the sparrow. Not to mention gentleness, she was even a little cruel.
Han Jing:
“Isn’t this a baby bird?”
"Maybe Ye Yu has a good relationship with animals. I heard that some people dislike cats and dogs, while some people particularly like cats and dogs." Xu Fei pushed his glasses and analyzed.
“Chichi!”
The sparrow chirped twice again.
Ye Yu didn't expect that this sparrow would actually recognize her. Even after untying the rope on its feet, it would still fly around her or land on her shoulder.
“???”
This was just an adult bird, so it definitely wasn't treating a human like its mother. Perhaps it was still thinking about the beast meat from last night? That wasn't the case, as even if the beast meat smelled good, it tasted terrible.
Considering that this guy was always hanging around the barbecue yesterday, it's not impossible.
In nature, sparrows do have a special nose structure and highly sensitive olfactory nerves, which allow them to identify food, danger, and breeding partners through their sense of smell[1].
This guy has a really strong taste.
But it’s also good. He remembered his mission and accompanied her to eat exotic beast meat.
No matter how the sparrow chirped, Ye Yu would never take it out to work.
"grain reserves."
"grumble."
Silence.
very good.
Han Jing's cooking skills were average, and he didn't perform well in the morning, so he could only say that the food was cooked. He scratched his head embarrassedly, but after what she had experienced last night, Ye Yu still ate with relish, and the others were not surprised by her persistence.
After dinner, Ye Yu, Hua Feifei, Han Jing and Xu Fei went to work as usual.
No accidents happened on the way to work, but many people in Xipo were talking about the accident last night.
"Do you smell it?"
"Yes, it smells really good."
"I don't know which glutton stayed up late at night and ran up the mountain to barbecue."
"I couldn't fall asleep in the middle of the night. It's been a while since I last had meat. This roasted meat smells so good."
"It smells like chicken."
"Rabbit, huh?"
"That's what bear paws taste like, right?"
"If a bear paw flattens you with one blow, it must be because of the ingredients. It might be those second-rate guys."
"It seems there are still many good things on this mountain. Let's go climb up and take a look after work today."
"I also……"
Ye Yu heard multiple messages:...What a mistake. Meat is really scarce in this era. Many people have the ability to smell the aroma of meat. Even though there is such a large space on the mountain, there are still a few families living halfway up the mountain who can smell it.
Unfortunately, these villagers don’t know that the meaty aroma that makes the birds’ mouths salivate is actually the fishy and smelly smell of rotten eggs mixed with candles.
Forget it, I'll stay away next time.
One more thing before we start work today.
The villagers from the four groups in the team gathered together. Wang Laosan, who was limping because his leg had not yet fully healed, had to apologize to the four educated youth in front of everyone.
Wang Laosan said reluctantly: "I'm sorry."
"I can't hear you clearly." Seeing Wang Laosan glaring at her, Hua Feifei quickly hid behind Ye Yu and popped her head out from the side. "You need to explain why you did something wrong, the cause and effect. That's how you can reflect on yourself."
At this time, a man who looked three-quarters like Wang Laoer stood out from the side, but he was half a head taller and more muscular, with a broad back and strong waist. He said, "Laoer has already admitted his mistake, isn't this too much?"
"Who are you, big brother?"
Han Jing blurted out.
"Hahahaha—" The onlookers burst into laughter. Someone in the crowd introduced, "This is our village's militia company commander, Wang Laoer, and Wang Laosan's brother."
"Oh, thank you!" Compared to Wang Laoer, Han Jing, who was about the same height, was obviously much more approachable. He waved at the person who reminded him and said, "What do you mean by excessive? Swearing at people behind their backs is excessive, provoking trouble and taking the lead is excessive, and taking up arms to start class struggle is excessive. Just imagine, if Comrade Ye Yu had a little less strength, what serious consequences would have occurred? Then you wouldn't be apologizing here, but at the Public Security Bureau shooting range."
The content of this speech is full of fighting spirit through the use of parallel sentences. Han Jing's voice is full of energy and resounding, and the rhythm is passionate, making it easy to remember.
What are you doing at the shooting range?
Being beaten!
Therefore, it can be inferred that it was indeed Wang Laosan who provoked and attacked first. If that hoe had really hit the other person, who could have endured it? The educated youth was seriously injured, so he must have been arrested, right?
Han Jing loudly asked everyone present: "So, is an apology too much?"
This shout made the person's mood surge, and several people immediately responded: "Not too much!"
"Not at all."
Hua Feifei and Xu Fei applauded enthusiastically.
Ye Yu couldn't help but be surprised. Han Jing, who seemed naive on weekdays, turned out to be a good speaker?
However, he is indeed more emotional, and most of the time he is in a positive mood. To describe him in one sentence, he is always as happy as a fool, and can spread his happiness to the people around him.
Wang Laoer took a deep breath, his brows furrowed, as if he was about to take off into the air at the next moment.
Then Ye Yu glared back calmly.
Although Wang Laoer did not witness Ye Yu kicking Wang Laosan away with his own eyes, he had deliberately observed the strength Ye Yu showed when working in the fields these days. He was really no less powerful than him. This matter would not be let go, but not now.
Luck, luck, he roared: "Wang Laosan, why don't you apologize quickly."
Wang Laosan's grandfather and father were not here today. They couldn't afford to lose this person, and now their only supporter was gone. He immediately became cowardly, closing his eyes and shouting: "I'm sorry! I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that if it were me, I would just jump into the cesspool and drown. I shouldn't have..."
"Ha ha ha ha."
The onlookers below were filled with joy again.
"A good comrade is one who knows how to correct his mistakes." Because of his excellent performance before, Xu Fei and Hua Feifei winked and asked Han Jing to continue. Ye Yu also raised a thumbs up to show his approval. Han Jing, who was a little bit excited, became more energetic.
"I live in a hutong compound. My grandfather was a veteran of the Red Army, my uncles were both soldiers, my dad is also a retired soldier, and my mom is a worker and was a Boy Scout, but she's never worked in the fields. That's not right, my mom really wants to work in the fields. She's planted onions, garlic, leeks, and other things in the front and back yards. Don't laugh at me, I always thought working in the fields was just like that."
Han Jing exposed his shortcomings, which made everyone laugh, but most of the laughter was just white lies.
Being a soldier is the most respected profession. Knowing that his grandfather was a veteran Red Army soldier and that the elders were already leading the applause and cheering, and knowing that his whole family were soldiers, it was even more amazing.
Han Jing continued: "...We were students before we went to the countryside. We will learn, make progress, and do our best to use what we have learned to work with our fellow farmers to build Wangjiagou and make its future even better!"
Bang bang bang!
There was another round of enthusiastic applause.
Xu Fei was indeed a literary youth. He even carried a pen and a notebook with him. He took them out of his pocket and recorded the scene. With infinite inspiration, he suddenly overturned the title and content of the submission that he had thought over and over again in bed last night.
Hua Feifei was also very excited. She stood up and first thanked the team leader, village accountant, village women's director and others for their help. She then talked about her experience of feeding pigs. At the end, she mentioned the names of two aunts who taught her how to feed the pigs, which made the two aunts smile.
Wow, this is another natural speaker, the kind that makes some people cry.
Especially when it comes to homesickness, the pig-raising story is both funny and touching.
The only one who didn't applaud was Ye Yu. A villager's eyes met hers accidentally.
Any questions?
No, no, several villagers in a certain direction held back their tears again.
