Chapter 155: Scheming (4)
The next day.
Xu Xu went out early again. When he came back at noon, he was holding two bamboo rats. Bamboo rats are different from mice. Bamboo rats are fat and delicious. The big ones weigh several kilograms.
Xu Xu brought back pheasants yesterday. Many people in the team saw him. Today he brought back two bamboo rats again, which attracted more people's attention.
Some people stopped him and asked, "Xu Xu, did you really pick these bamboo rats in the back mountain?" Yesterday
, Xu Xu brought back two pheasants, and the day before yesterday, he brought back a roe deer. Everyone was curious about how he got them. Some people went to ask Liu Mei. Liu Mei was in a good mood after eating pheasants, so she said that Xu Xu picked them in the mountains. Others
naturally didn't believe it. How could there be so many pheasants and wild chickens to pick these days?
Liu Mei didn't actually believe it herself, but as long as she had something to eat, she didn't care how the meat came from, so she made up a reason, saying that Xu Xu had picked it up in the mountains.
Now that they saw Xu Xu bringing back another bamboo rat, they naturally went up to ask. If it was really picked up, they would try their luck, even though something had happened there a few days ago.
But they were adults, and they were not afraid that the monkeys would take them away.
Xu Xu glanced at the man, his green eyes seemed to be emitting a cold light, and the man who asked the question touched his arm unconsciously, and felt that all the hairs on his body stood up. The man
took two steps back, and when she thought Xu Xu would definitely not answer, she heard Xu Xu say two words: "Beat it."
"You beat it!" The other person immediately looked at him with amazement.
Xu Xu nodded.
"Oh my god, you are such a great kid." Someone exclaimed.
Others rolled their eyes and snorted, "I told you, Liu Mei is just talking nonsense. There are not so many things to pick up these days."
"Yeah, Liu Mei is really blessed for eight lifetimes. The last time was a roe deer, the last time was a pheasant, this time is a bamboo rat, and who knows what will be there in the future." "
Xu Xu is a really capable kid."
"But I haven't heard that this kid can hunt..."
"..."
Hearing Xu Xu's words, everyone started discussing.
Xu Xu avoided them and left.
When they returned to Xu's house, Liu Mei was drying clothes in the yard. She was stunned when she saw Xu Xu coming back with a bamboo rat.
He immediately responded, laughed, and threw his clothes on the bamboo pole above his head, and walked over quickly.
"Hey, did you pick this up in the mountains again?" Liu Mei asked with a smile, and quickly reached out to take the bamboo rat, fearing that if she was late, he would take it to the Ruan family next door.
Thinking about the pheasant that she hadn't finished eating last night, and there was another bamboo rat today, Liu Mei was really happy.
She rolled her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking, and suddenly she shouted at the top of her voice: "Oh, this bamboo rat is really big and fat. It can be eaten for several meals. Xiao Xu, you are really amazing!"
The voice was so loud that almost everyone in the neighborhood could hear it. Many families ran out to see the excitement, and some people looked at it with envy, thinking that the Xu family had suddenly got lucky.
However, only the Ruan family did not come out.
Liu Mei shouted so loudly just to let the Ruan family come out to see, especially Ruan Lin.
But she did not come out to see.
Liu Mei was a little unwilling, so she walked a little closer to Ruan's house and continued to shout at the top of her voice: "Oh, this bamboo rat is really big. Let's have bamboo shoots and stewed rat for lunch today, Xiao Xu, what do you think?"
