Chapter 210 My wife gave me an order
With the help of Parman, Qin Suisui successfully made a "contract" with Nuwa, and from then on, Nuwa could hear Qin Suisui's call no matter where she was.
This is more convenient. When Qin Suisui stays in the family compound, Nuwa can also be in the wild forest without changing her living habits or disturbing the people in the family compound. It's better for both sides.
However, as long as Qin Suisui enters the Wild Forest, Nuwa can sense her master's presence and swim over to protect her at top speed. This way, Qin Suisui will have an extra layer of protection whenever she comes to the forest.
The men went hunting. Qin Suisui gave Pei Jiuyan a "task": he had to hunt more pheasants, rabbits, and pigeons. It was already December, and the New Year was just around the corner. Many people in the family compound were drying cured meat, sausages, salted fish, and salted pork. When they got back to their home, they would also start drying chickens and rabbits, as Qin Suisui loved to eat these.
Qin Suisui and the other two, along with Zanzan, led by Nuwa, thoroughly explored all the mushrooms in the vicinity. Their baskets were overflowing, but thankfully they had brought burlap sacks.
Su Yunyi is a newly arrived educated youth who went to the countryside this year. She doesn't have any leave to visit her family this year, and she can't go home for the Spring Festival.
Because of Qin Suisui's matter, Pei Jiuyan and the other two cannot leave Qiongtan Island until the investigation is over. Chi Donglin and Song Yunlai will definitely be spending the New Year at their home, so Qin Suisui simply invited Su Yunyi to join them for the New Year's Eve dinner!
Jia Zhenzhen was very envious because her mother was from Qiongtan Island, but from another city, which was quite far from here. She would have to go back to her maternal grandparents' house with her mother for the Chinese New Year.
Around noon, Pei Jiuyan and the others finally returned.
Because it was inconvenient to carry a basket while chasing prey, none of the men carried baskets. Instead, they all followed Parman's example and hung the prey on their waists with ropes.
Chi Donglin caught three pheasants, two rabbits, and a few mountain pigeons.
Song Yunlai was similar to him, except that the number of pheasants and rabbits were switched.
With his extensive experience, the wild forest was practically his home turf, making him the undisputed "champion." However, Pei Jiuyan's hunting numbers were not much different from his.
Qin Suisui glanced at them and, wow, there were actually a dozen or so pheasants, seven or eight wild rabbits, and a large number of mountain pigeons, all piled up together, making it impossible to tell how many there were.
Knowing that Qin Suisui didn't like eating mountain rats, none of the four men touched them.
Jia Zhenzhen stared in shock, "Pei Jiuyan, you're amazing! You actually scored so many? You're almost as good as Paman!"
A large string of prey hung layer upon layer on his body, and his face was covered in tree sap, probably from tracking the prey, which added a captivating wildness to the already tall and imposing man.
Qin Suisui was stunned.
Pei Jiuyan smiled slightly: "Isn't that because my wife gave me an order? I dare not disobey."
Although he was answering Jia Zhenzhen's question, his gaze remained fixed on Qin Suisui, never leaving her for a moment. Seeing the girl's infatuated look, Pei Jiuyan's smile widened even further.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I never thought you, this ice block, would show affection like this! It's unbelievable! Sui Sui, you've really tamed him well!" Jia Zhenzhen gently tugged at Qin Sui Sui's sleeve: "How did you transform him from such an ice block into a devoted and loving man?"
Qin Suisui snapped out of her daze, subconsciously wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth before frowning and thinking for a moment: "It doesn't seem like he's... disciplined me, he's always been like this with me!"
Chi Donglin testified: "That's because you don't understand. They were betrothed since they were little, and Ayan has only ever been nice to his sister. You don't know, when Ayan was little, he often took the train... umm umm..." Chi Donglin wanted to reveal more about Pei Jiuyan, but Pei Jiuyan quickly covered him up.
Having been with them for so long, Parman seemed to have gotten used to their noisy chatter. After releasing the prey back into the Snake Spirit Brigade with them, he led a few more men outside.
Qin Suisui was taken aback: "What's wrong? Where are you going again?"
"We also hunted a wild boar. It was difficult to take it earlier, so we'll go and bring it back now."
The wild boar weighed over 200 pounds. Such a huge creature was obviously not going to be brought home to the family compound; that would be too conspicuous.
However, Parman still cut off some of the best meat and gave some to each of them. Looking at the remaining meat, he pondered for a moment before speaking to Qin Suisui, "Let's cure it here. I'll cure more bacon and sausages and send them over to you later." Gifts sent by others are considered presents, so naturally, no matter how much there is, it doesn't need to be handed over.
Qin Suisui did not refuse. She knew that the Snake Spirit Brigade would also organize a collective hunt before the New Year. They would not lack meat, and she would definitely send some other supplies over then.
That day, everyone processed all the prey at the Snake Spirit Brigade and had a hearty dinner before returning to their residential compound.
Qin Suisui originally wanted to save some of the game that Pei Jiuyan had hunted and the mushrooms she had picked for her master and senior brother.
Unexpectedly, Palon waved his hand dismissively: "Take it away, take it away. It's just a little bit of stuff, why keep giving it away? Aren't you ashamed?"
So in the end, not only did not the prey remain, but even the ones that Paman had hunted were given to Qin Suisui.
After taking things so many times, Qin Suisui became thick-skinned and no longer felt embarrassed.
Anyway, she was going to deliver supplies to her master and the others, they're family!
They returned quite late, and since the game was all packed in baskets and covered with cloth, no one could see anything. So it didn't cause much of a stir.
The day after returning home, the weather was sunny, and Qin Suisui set about drying the pheasants, rabbits, and pigeons she had brought back the day before. Of course, she also left some in the kitchen to keep them fresh and delicious.
Some of the large sack of mushrooms we picked were kept fresh, and the rest were dried in the sun.
Fortunately, the wall around her yard was raised, so if others don't come in, they can't see it from the outside. Otherwise, all that meat in her yard would probably cause a sensation.
But this is just the beginning. Apart from the two pieces of wild boar meat her senior brother gave her yesterday, she hasn't even dried any cured meat yet. Although her senior brother would send some to her family, it was wild boar meat, and the taste was probably different.
Qin Suisui still wanted to get some domestic pork from her space to make sausages, dried pork belly, and cured ribs.
She wondered if she should find an opportunity to go to town that afternoon so she could "smuggle" the meat out of her space.
Before she could find an excuse, Sun Ruwen arrived at her door that afternoon with Wenlian pushing a cart.
The cart was covered with a rag, and when Qin Suisui entered the yard and the rag was lifted, she was stunned.
