Chapter 55: Not Reading
Time passed quickly, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
The courtyard wall of the house has been built, and it is now one and a half meters high.
In addition to collecting firewood, the younger brothers and sisters also pick wild vegetables.
Lu Jinnian turned the land behind the house and planted vegetables. The family couldn't always exchange vegetables with others, which was too inappropriate.
The weather was getting warmer, and she began to plan to go hunting. There was not much silver at home. She could replace other things with things in the space, but not books.
That day, she carried a backpack, a bow and arrow, and an axe on her waist. She said goodbye to her younger brothers and sisters and went out.
The wall of the house was one and a half meters high, and no one would come in broad daylight. And she had also built the gate, so she felt more at ease when she left home.
Just as she was about to go up the mountain, she heard someone calling her name from behind.
Lu Jinnian was a little confused, and turned around to see a figure running over not far away.
When she got closer, she saw a girl in her teens, whom she didn't know.
"Who are you?" She looked over in confusion.
"My name is Li Yue." Li Yue's face was a little shy. She glanced at the person opposite her, and then quickly lowered her head.
Lu Jinnian had never heard of this name, but as long as the surname was Li and it was in Lijia Village, it must be someone from the village.
"What's the matter?" Lu Jinnian didn't hesitate and went straight to the point.
She had limited time. It was early now, but it would take two or three hours to go back and forth in the mountains. In addition to hunting, she had to come back before dark.
Li Yue hesitated for a while and said, "I... my father came to you a few days ago and asked you to marry into my family. I want to know why you don't want to."
After she said this, she felt relieved. Although her father was tough, she was different.
It was too difficult for a girl to ask a man why he didn't marry her, so she hesitated for a long time and came to say this after more than ten days.
Hearing this, Lu Jinnian frowned. He didn't expect the person involved to come and ask by himself.
At first it was the matchmaker, then the parents, and this time it was her.
"I'm sorry, young lady. I have three younger brothers and sisters in my family. I really can't marry anyone or marry into anyone's family. Before my younger brothers and sisters get married, I won't go home to consider my own affairs." She didn't say anything else, just stated a fact.
That's what she thought, so she said it as she should.
Once there is any misunderstanding, it feels that hesitating is just adding trouble.
Hearing her words, Li Yue was stunned, "You...you don't want to get married?"
Waiting for the younger brothers and sisters to get married and start a family, doesn't that mean not getting married?
Or...
"Are you saying this because you don't like me?" She always felt that this was the case, otherwise the conditions offered by her family would be enough to attract any man.
Lu Jinnian shook his head. Although the girl didn't look good, she didn't look rude, but rather quite polite.
"It's not the girl's appearance, it's really my personal problem. You don't have to come to me again in the future. I have already told you my answer." After she finished speaking, she turned around and went up the mountain.
Li Yue was not upset after hearing this. Although she had euphemistically mentioned her appearance when she was rejected in the past, this person did not say anything, nor did he beat around the bush.
It seemed that Lu Jinnian really did not want to marry into the family, and he was telling the truth.
Thinking of this, she felt relieved and did not feel upset.
Lu Jinnian walked all the way up the mountain, and put the backpack into the space first. As for the axe, he still held it in his hand, just in case.
He scanned the surroundings with his mental power and found a nest of pheasants not far away.
After walking for more than an hour, she felt that few people came here, otherwise they would not have found wild animals so quickly.
Kill the pheasant, and then put all the eggs in the space, the family was neat and tidy.
Lu Jinnian nodded with satisfaction, turned around and continued to walk into the mountains.
There was no mountain road inside, and she relied on an axe to get back, which slowed down her speed.
She tied the red rope marking the route, wiped the sweat from her head, and then sat on the ground.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, but it was not so hot in the woods, but it was quite tiring to walk and get back.
After a short rest, Lu Jinnian continued to walk inside, and found some wild boar marks with her mental power, so she climbed up the tree to observe.
During this time, she found that everyone's favorite wild game was wild boar and wild deer.
This kind of animal is large and meaty. Although it tastes very dry, it does taste better than other wild game.
When she returned home at night, there were two more big wild boars in Lu Jinnian's space, as well as two roe deer, and many pheasants and rabbits.
In addition to the two hares, there were three cubs in the backpack. The younger ones should be kept to add some fun to their younger brothers and sisters.
Sure enough, seeing the living creatures she brought back, Lu Jinqiu was particularly happy and shouted that she wanted to make a cage for them.
"What time is it now? Put them in the backpack first and make it tomorrow." Lu Jinxin was also happy and made some suggestions.
In the evening, everyone sat together to eat, and life slowly got back on track.
After all, they had a real home. This was not a shack built casually, and there were mice in it every day.
Lu Jinnian sorted out the things on the kang. The kang was covered with a woven kang mat. Although it was hard and prickly, it was much better than sleeping directly on hay.
It was just that quilts should be purchased. Now everyone had a quilt, and there was no cover when they were covered.
It seemed that I had to go to the city again. This time I bought more things and left the rest.
After dinner, Lu Jinnian pushed a cart to the head of the village. On the cart was a wild boar, weighing more than 400 kilograms.
If we don't go now, we won't have any reason to say where we hunted it tomorrow morning. Besides, if we leave the wild boar overnight, it will become smelly. To be reasonable, we can only go out at night.
"Wow, such a big wild boar!" Although the head of the village knew Lu Jinnian's ability, it was the first time he saw so many preys hunted in a month.
It is true that there are so many wild animals in the back mountain, but it is really a rare person to have the ability to hunt them back without getting injured.
"Head of the village, please see where the meat is easy to pick. I will exchange the rest with the villagers in the village."
Lu Jinnian split the wild boar, and no one wanted the intestines and internal organs. Although she made it spicy last time, others didn't know how to make it, so it wouldn't taste good if they took it back.
Hearing this, the head of the village nodded with satisfaction. He liked Lu Jinnian's way of doing things.
"Leave half of the pig's head and meat." After he said that, he gestured to Li Changqing.
Li Changqing took out a purse from his arms and handed it over.
"This is for you. I won't take your things for nothing." The head of the village smiled and gestured for her to accept it.
This outsider had a hard life, and there was a student at home, so he didn't make it difficult, not to mention that this person was also very considerate.
Thanks to Wowuwokan for the reward. I got sick after the Chinese New Year, I'm really impressed.
Everyone should pay attention to the recent virus cold, don't catch a cold, and remember to wear a mask when going out.
