"I, I didn't expect a pheasant to jump into my arms. I, I was too hungry and I couldn't control my joy.
Thank you all very much just now.
I think I am really lucky. My sister and I only ate a few wild fruits in three days. This pheasant was probably a gift from God because he took pity on us. "
As he spoke, Chaoge, holding the pheasant, bowed deeply to Uncle Dong and his villagers.
Her attitude was so sincere that the villagers who coveted her pheasant were reluctant to take advantage of her.
She didn't want to show off. Besides, she didn't expect a pheasant to appear and jump into her arms!
She had thought it through. If these people dared to steal her pheasant, she wouldn't mind trying out the sharpness of the black iron dagger immediately.
In this era where people eat people without leaving any bones, cannibalism has even occurred in some places.
If she hadn't been tough and vicious, they would never have survived to reach Xilin County.
She said that the pheasant was a gift from God to her and her sister, and that it was also to prevent the people in Dongshu Village from morally blackmailing her and asking her to give out the pheasant to repay them.
After all, human hearts are complicated.
Even Uncle Dong's eyes were a little hot when he looked at the pheasant in her arms, let alone the villagers behind him?
"Hey, you just saw the greedy faces of those people. It's safer to quickly process the chicken and eat it.
Next time you encounter something, just shout.
Don’t be afraid, everyone in Uncle Dong’s village will definitely help you.”
Chaoge and the Leng siblings were grateful again for Uncle Dong's care.
However, there is already a drought and there is no water around.
If Chaoge hadn't brought out some wild fruits to replenish their water today, they would have almost died of thirst.
So the only way to eat the pheasant was to cut off its neck and roast it directly over the fire.
Chaoge had the space, but she didn't even have a container for water, let alone to pluck the pheasants.
Looking at Chaoge plucking feathers with bare hands, with blood all over her hands, Leng Furong, the rich lady, was trembling with fear. She really felt that Chaoge, the wild chicken in his heart, was not attractive at all.
But they had no idea that this Chaoge was no longer the Chaoge of yesterday.
In her previous life, she and several fellow brothers had followed a secret force and were stationed in the forest for two months. When food was scarce, they even drank the blood of animals. Now plucking chicken feathers with their bare hands was nothing at all.
The process of plucking chicken feathers was too arduous, but when they saw Chaoge cutting open the pheasant's stomach and digging out its internal organs with his bare hands, Leng Furong and Leng Liecheng could no longer hold back and vomited uncontrollably!
"I've already carried you on my back, what are you still curious about?
Look at how disgusting I have made you. Turn around now!"
Hearing the sound of the brother and sister vomiting, Chaoge frowned and turned back in silence.
She didn't want to be so disgusting, but she didn't want the roasted pheasant to have a belly full of chicken shit.
It was just some internal organs. After all those years of studying medicine, human anatomy was child's play for her. It was just a chicken.
"Big, big sister, there's no water here. How are you going to get rid of the bloody smell on your hands later?"
It took Leng Furong a long while before the churning in her stomach felt a little better.
When she thought back to the scene of Chaoge digging out internal organs with his bare hands, she was really curious about what to do with Chaoge's hands next?
"Don't worry about it, just wait and eat the chicken later!"
Find a deserted place and put some space stream water to wash it clean. Chaoge would not be stupid enough to pick up the roasted chicken with chicken blood all over his hands and eat it with relish.
However, after being hungry for several days and having eaten wild fruits all day, when Chaoge roasted the pheasant until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and juicy all over, even though there was no salt or taste, the three little guys swallowed their saliva just as fast as Chaoge.
"Sister, that dagger you just used..."
"Shh, I picked it up."
Leng Liecheng had wanted to ask for a long time, but when Chaoge was killing chickens, there were greedy eyes staring at them everywhere. He did not dare to relax. He quietly picked up two stones and was always on guard.
The dagger was so sharp that he had never seen such a sharp weapon before.
However, I heard in books that weapons made of black iron that can cut through iron like mud seem to be somewhat similar.
But he didn't believe that Chaoge could be so lucky as to pick up such a precious and rare black iron dagger.
Many doubts piled up in the boy's mind at this moment, making him puzzled.
It was not until Chaoge roasted the chicken and picked up the dagger to cut the chicken again that he lowered his voice and asked tentatively.
Apart from this reason, Leng Liecheng couldn't think of any other reason why Chaoge would get such a sharp dagger.
Maybe it was like God had sent a pheasant into her arms, or maybe she had really picked it up?
He successfully put Leng Furong and her brother off. Leng Xiaoran had already been awakened by the aroma of roasted chicken and was only focused on eating the chicken, not caring about anything else.
"Why don't you send some to Uncle Dong?
Today, thanks to Uncle Dong's care, I was so scared when I saw those guys appear behind you and try to snatch the pheasant from your arms. Fortunately, Brother Daqiang acted in time and Uncle Dong led his men to run towards you."
Leng Furong took a few bites of chicken, looked at the refugees around her who were drooling with envy, and asked in a low voice in Chaoge's ear.
It's not that Chaoge hasn't considered this matter, but she can't be a saint.
At least, Uncle Dong and the rest of the village brought food with them when they fled the famine, so they didn't starve, so she didn't plan to give them any.
Even if you want to give it, you can't give it openly.
A pheasant Chaoge left a chicken leg, wrapped it in leaves, and hid it in the weeds under his body.
At this moment, an old woman in her fifties suddenly walked towards them with a child of seven or eight years old.
Chaoge and Leng's siblings looked at the grandparents and grandchildren with wary expressions!
They slowly put down the chicken they had not finished eating and hid it behind their backs at the same time!
"Girl, can I have some meat?
Look at my grandson, he hasn’t eaten a bite of meat in several years.
Since you are lucky enough to get a pheasant for free, can you please be kind and give some to my grandson?"
As expected, some people, unable to get what they want by force, resort to soft tactics instead.
They hadn't eaten or drunk anything all day, and no one gave them anything to eat. How could this old woman have the nerve to ask for help?
“Sorry, we were robbed on the way and haven’t eaten for a few days.
This pheasant is only this big, and it means the lives of us siblings.
However, if you want to eat meat, you can exchange something with me.
One chicken leg can be bought with five kilograms of rice, grains, or five kilograms of sweet potatoes."
The old woman looks pitiful, and the child looks pitiful as he sniffs his nose and swallows his saliva for the meat.
But the four of them are more pitiful, okay?
It is impossible for any of them to feel compassion in this situation.
