Ruan Yunxi and Sister-in-law Sheng complained that Miao Huahua was treated better in her husband's family, at least she was fed, even if she didn't look happy.
At least we can eat cornbread, mixed flour, and corn porridge.
No more going hungry every day, unable to sleep from hunger, with a burning sensation in my stomach, and wishing I could steal food to eat.
Miao Huahua got used to his unpleasant expression.
Knowing that it was Ruan Yunxi and the others who helped her get it, Miao Huahua was very grateful. Whenever she went up the mountain and got something delicious, she would eagerly send it to Ruan Yunxi. Ruan Yunxi basically didn't care about the things Miao Huahua sent.
Faced with the expectant gazes of others, Ruan Yunxi couldn't refuse and had no choice but to accept.
Seeing that she accepted it, Miao Huahua's face lit up with joy: "If you like it, I'll bring it to you again next time I find it."
"No need, you can eat it yourself," Ruan Yunxi politely declined.
Miao Huahua knew that what she gave was not presentable; it was the only thing she could give away.
The next day, Ruan Yunxi was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) reading a book while holding a hot water bottle. Pineapple had just eaten salmon and was now licking its fur against Ruan Yunxi's leg. When she heard a noise in the yard, Ruan Yunxi immediately put Pineapple, who was licking its fur, into her spatial storage.
Miao Huahua stood at the gate of the courtyard, holding something in her arms: "Sister Yunxi, Sister Yunxi, are you home?"
Ruan Yunxi went outside with a hot water bottle and asked, "Is there something you need?"
Miao Huahua nodded excitedly: "I caught something good, I'll give it to you!"
Looking at Miao Huahua, who was covered in straw and looked disheveled, Ruan Yunxi wondered which mountain she had gone to wander around again: "What did you catch?"
"Look?" Miao Huahua proudly lifted her tattered clothes, revealing the little... fawn she had hidden in her arms...
right!
It was a sika deer that looked to be over a month old. The fawn stared at her with frightened eyes, its big eyes glistening with tears. It was being held and looked pitiful.
Where did you get this?
Miao Huahua explained, "I found it. It had broken its leg. I felt sorry for it, so I brought it back, killed it, and ate it!"
Ruan Yunxi: "Are you sure you're doing this because you feel sorry for it, and not because you think it tastes good?"
Miao Huahua smiled awkwardly: "I heard that venison is very nutritious. You're afraid of the cold, so eating venison will warm you up!"
Fearing that Ruan Yunxi would refuse, Miao Huahua shoved the fawn into her arms and ran away.
Ruan Yunxi: "Hey, hey, hey, come back! Quickly take it away and send it back to where it came from! You..."
Watching Miao Huahua disappear into the distance, Ruan Yunxi, who was stiffly holding the deer, felt numb.
The fawn trembled even more violently when it was in her arms. Looking into the pitiful, desperate, and frightened eyes of the fawn, Ruan Yunxi sighed.
She doesn't need this meat.
If it's prepared properly and given to her to eat, she can still eat it.
Now, when asked to look into the eyes of the pitiful fawn and kill it for food, Ruan Yunxi not only couldn't do it, but also bandaged the fawn's wounds and discovered that its leg was broken.
Ruan Yunxi had medicine in her space. Seeing the little deer crying, she couldn't bear it, so she could only apply medicine to it, tie its broken leg with a stick to prevent it from moving around and getting hurt, and then take out some cabbage leaves, carrots, radishes, potatoes and sweet potatoes for the little deer to eat.
The fawn huddled in the corner, refusing to eat anything, looking terrified.
Ruan Yunxi looked at the small fawn, took out a bottle of fresh milk from her space, heated it up, and placed it in front of it. The fawn smelled the aroma of milk, tentatively approached, stuck out its tongue and licked it, then drank the milk in big gulps.
They were starving.
I don't know how long I've been hungry.
