Sheng Yichen nodded, looking very easy to talk to:
"Well, it's a bit tiring to carry so much. So you can help me carry this pig."
Without waiting for the other party to answer, he threw the nearly 300-pound wild boar onto Lin Xuan's shoulders.
"Hey! Hey! Sheng! You are simply a human!"
The smile on Lin Xuanxuan's face froze for a moment, but he didn't have time to react and quickly reached out to hold the fat pig on his shoulder.
Before they left, their father and daughter were fed with Gong Powder.
Without the protection of his internal energy, Lin Xuan's face instantly showed a mask of pain after taking on such a heavy object with his bare hands.
Seeing that Sheng Yichen ignored him, he had no choice but to turn to his father for help:
"Dad! Are you laughing too loud?! Have you finished watching the excitement? Why don't you come and give me a hand?!"
Lin Guodong continued to mock mercilessly:
"What a waste! You're carrying such a small amount of weight and you're still crying!"
"It's quite light. Can you carry it for me to see? Hey! Dad! Why are you running so fast?"
“…”
After several people from the eldest branch of the Sheng family borrowed a sharp knife from the official, they began to deal with the wild boar.
This time, with the help of Lin's father, everyone worked faster and soon the wild boar was skinned and cleaned.
They must have eaten such a big pig among themselves.
While the meat was still not roasted, Sheng Yichen cut off a large piece of lean meat with his knife, marinated it and kept it for later consumption.
The rest was grilled directly over a fire and served as tonight's dinner.
Li Zhenyi cut a large piece of the two arm-long fish that Lin Guodong brought, removed the bones bit by bit, chopped it into minced meat, mixed it with the rice and dried wild vegetables in the bag, and cooked a pot of fish, meat and wild vegetable porridge for Xier and Bai Xiuyu.
The whole family now had a tacit understanding. No matter what they took out of the big bag, they all insisted that it was given by Sheng Yichen's confidantes.
On the contrary, the bag was so big and contained so many different things, but the people in the oil mill team didn't suspect anything.
After a while, from the corner where the Sheng family's main room was sitting, there came a sizzling sound and a strong meaty aroma.
As usual, in order to maintain a good relationship with the officials, Sheng Yichen cut a large piece of roasted ribs that were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and distributed them to the officials in the cave next door.
This time, the officers looked much better than before.
They all witnessed the catastrophic scene of the Yuping avalanche in the evening, and they were both terrified and relieved.
Now seeing Sheng Yichen coming over with a large fan of fragrant ribs, the officers all came over with smiles on their faces to thank him.
As he spoke, he distributed the half of the rabbit meat that they had just roasted and a large bag of brown rice to the eldest wife of the Sheng family.
Before leaving, he still felt that it was not enough, so a minor official slapped his forehead and produced an empty clay pot.
In this weather, although meat is easy to rot, it is easy to put it into the bag. The officials usually use pottery jars or baskets to hold the uneaten meat.
Thinking that the Sheng family had pickled so much meat, it must be easy to carry, he directly stuffed the empty pottery jar into Sheng Yichen's hand.
Sheng Yichen refused all the gifts and accepted them all. He joked with a few officials and then returned to the fire of the Sheng family.
The orange flames danced, dispelling the chill in the surroundings. Now with Lin's father beside them, arguing from time to time, the warm and hearty meal was also full of laughter.
The atmosphere among the exiles was much more depressing than that of the Sheng family's eldest branch.
Previously, they all went to the frozen stream to catch fish, but they only caught thumb-sized fish.
Many people saw Lin Guodong catching a big fish as long as his arm in the deep pool where he swam, and they also wanted to give it a try.
But no one in the exile team had the skills as good as Lin Guodong.
Seeing that the first group of people who went to catch fish all fell into the icy water and had to struggle to get to the shore, the rest of the people gave up and returned to the frozen creek to pick up the fish that had been frozen to death.
So many of them gathered around the creek to try to catch fish, but even the one with the fastest hands could only grab about ten thumb-sized fish.
Most people could only grab two pieces, roast them by the fire, and eat them with black-faced steamed buns.
Although the food in my stomach was dry, hard and not filling, it was at least meaty.
Compared to yesterday's meal of eating black-faced steamed buns, this is an improvement.
As for the second branch of the Sheng family, since they were exiled, the concubines began to listen too much to Sheng Dehai's discipline.
Especially seeing how miserable he had been recently, more than a dozen women all stayed away from him, fearing that they would be implicated by him.
These women used to form cliques in the mansion and fight each other to the death.
Now they have all been exiled, subject to many restrictions, and they can do whatever they like to please anyone.
It is common to curse at someone from time to time, or kick him/her when he/she is not paying attention.
If the trouble was too serious, the police would threaten them with whips, but if the trouble was too minor, they would just be left alone, and no one had the time to care about their trivial matters.
Zhang had been with her two sons and one daughter, sitting far away from them.
They found a shabby pot from somewhere and cooked the five fish that Zhang's eldest son...ah, Chang Ming had caught, and the clean snow into soup.
The family began to eat the black-faced steamed buns distributed by the officials, with the soup that had not a single drop of oil in it.
But the atmosphere in this family seemed very strange. Everyone looked blankly at each other, thinking about their own things. It seemed as if they were too familiar with each other.
To everyone's surprise, for some reason, Sheng Dehai, who was supposed to hate the eldest wife of the Sheng family the most in the entire exile team, had a complete change of attitude towards the eldest wife, as if he was possessed by an evil spirit.
He didn't say a bad word about the eldest wife the whole afternoon, but in the evening he presented the incomplete dead fish that he had worked so hard to catch to everyone in the eldest wife's house like a treasure.
then……
It was crushed by Sheng Yichen's "little boy" as he passed by and rolled into the mud.
In the past, the people of the first house were willing to take care of the people of the second house more because of their blood relationship. Now that they know that the other party is one of the murderers who caused them to be exiled, how can they be willing to give Sheng Dehai a good face?
Seeing him coming to curry favor with them so attentively, everyone had a cold face. Lin Xiaoxuan even got close to Sheng Dehai and cursed him for a full quarter of an hour with all kinds of dirty words.
What was even more surprising was that Sheng Dehai did not refute at all. Instead, he said many nice things with a smirk on his face, and then returned to his resting place.
Afterwards, two skinny men saw what was happening and ran up to Sheng Dehai to say bad things about the eldest wife, trying to sow discord.
Unexpectedly, the other party was directly scolded by Sheng Dehai.
Sheng Dehai became more and more excited as he spoke, and he even claimed that everything that happened in the past was due to his own huge mistakes, and it had nothing to do with the eldest wife of the Sheng family!
The crowd of onlookers were stunned. They completely understood how a person could make such a big change in one day.
In the morning, he was only thinking about his own interests, and yelling that it was the eldest wife who had treated him unfairly; in the afternoon, he said that it was all his fault and the eldest wife had done nothing wrong!
They all stayed together all the time. They all suspected that Sheng Dehai was threatened by Sheng Yichen, the little bully.
But on second thought, ever since the eldest son of the Sheng family reminded everyone that there was an avalanche ahead and directly saved the lives of everyone in the exile team, everyone has been in awe of the eldest son of the Sheng family. It is understandable why Sheng Dehai has changed so much.
Sheng Nanxi sat by the fire, eating fish porridge from a wooden bowl, while taking in everyone's expressions.
Sheng Dehai's life was now in her hands, and she was worried that he would do something that would harm the eldest wife of the Sheng family.
The two people who had gone to deliberately sow discord between Sheng Dehai and the first wife were secretly remembered by her.
She was not in a hurry to make a move. She just watched quietly, waiting for all the spies to slowly reveal themselves.
Then, it was served right away!
Soon, all the exiles finished their meal, washed up briefly, and went to bed.
Except for one torch left inside the cave for lighting, all other torches in the cave were extinguished.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Sheng Nanxi waved her hand hastily and put a layer of modern camping moisture-proof mat under the hay where the family slept.
They used the thin quilts distributed by the officials to cover themselves, and also put a thick quilt over everyone's body.
Li Zhenyi felt her little daughter's movements and touched her furry little head tenderly. She held her in her arms and gently coaxed her to sleep.
Sheng Nanxi also obediently buried her head in her mother's arms, and her breathing gradually became steady.
Gradually, snoring sounds were heard in the cave.
Sheng Nanxi's big round eyes suddenly opened!
With a pair of short legs and short arms, he climbed out of the warm quilt gently.
The next moment he flashed and disappeared into the cave!
Hehe! Those bandits are dead, so their hard-earned property will be homeless? !
She is a kind-hearted girl, how could she watch innocent babies helpless? !
Hehehe! The gold and silver in the village, I am here to save you!
Hehehe! You old witch who dared to forge weapons privately! Just wait for Sister Xi to steal your house!
