Chapter 10 Eating Chicken
The family was out of dry firewood, so Zhao Xiulan carried a bamboo basket and stuffed it into Ye Rou's arms, "Go collect some firewood!"
Ye Rou glanced at Ye Wen who was sitting in the yard eating melon seeds.
Ye Wen smiled complacently.
Ye Rou rolled her eyes, too lazy to argue with Zhao Xiulan, who was so mean-spirited, and went out carrying the bamboo basket.
What she didn’t understand was: Ye Wen and her original self were both girls, so why did Zhao Xiulan hate her original self so much?
She went to the back mountain carrying a bamboo basket.
A group of people gathered together, smoking and talking loudly. They wore their clothes improperly, with their shirts unbuttoned, and were either standing or squatting, looking very unpresentable.
In Ye Rou's previous life, she was always bullied by bad boys when she was in school.
What she feared most were these hooligans, and she would stay away from them whenever she saw them.
But there was only one way up the mountain. She lowered her head, carrying a bamboo basket, pretending to be calm, and walked into the back mountain without looking around.
The group of people stopped talking and looked at Ye Rou.
After Ye Rou walked away, Zhou Liang smiled and said, "Ye Rou looks honest and knows a lot."
"When she mentioned Wang Qian's pregnancy today, I got goosebumps."
"This kind of woman is the most powerful. She may seem quiet, but she's actually the most cunning. Whoever marries her will be in trouble."
"Marry her? A man would be blind to marry her. She's disgusting."
Jiang Chen's brows darkened, he exhaled the smoke from his mouth, threw away the cigarette, raised his foot and casually stepped on it, and said gloomily: "I think you guys are too idle."
Zhou Liang smiled flatteringly, "Brother Jiang, that batch of goods."
Jiang Chen glanced at him with a smile, and Zhou Liang immediately pursed his lips and stopped talking about it.
"I'll let you know the day after tomorrow."
The group of people dispersed.
——
Ye Rou picked up firewood while looking around, trying to find something to eat. She was so hungry.
Finally, she found a hawthorn tree. The red hawthorns had been picked almost all, leaving only some half-green and half-red ones.
Hawthorn is appetizing, and the more you eat, the hungrier you become. Ye Rou covered her rumbling stomach, debating whether to eat it or not.
"You didn't eat?"
Ye Rou turned around and saw Jiang Chen standing behind her.
Jiang Chen stood in the sun, with an exceptionally handsome appearance, sharp and deep eyebrows, a straight and three-dimensional nose, and well-defined facial features.
He was even more handsome than the TV stars Ye Rou had seen in her previous life.
He walked towards Ye Rou casually, his yellowed white shirt was loose, with only the two middle buttons buttoned, revealing his well-defined chest.
Is there anything more unfortunate than encountering a murderer in the remote mountains?
Yes, that is, this murderer tried to kill you twice before.
Ye Rou stepped back, scanning the surroundings for an escape route.
His narrow, dark eyes suddenly fixed on Ye Rou's chest, and he said firmly, "You've gained weight."
Ye Rou clenched her fists. Even a serial killer couldn't say she was fat!
She glared at Jiang Chen angrily.
Jiang Chen took a step forward, holding Ye Rou in his arms. He leaned in slightly, so close that their noses were touching. "Your eyes have changed too."
Ye Rou immediately denied it: "You remembered it wrongly."
After she said this, she wanted to bite her tongue off.
As a genius with high IQ, Jiang Chen’s most basic characteristic is that he has a photographic memory. Everyone can make mistakes, but he doesn’t.
Jiang Chen's thin, crimson lips curled slightly. He liked exciting and interesting things, and Ye Rou successfully aroused his interest in exploring.
Ye Rou's stomach growled. "Even death row prisoners get a bowl of rice before they die. You want to kill me, but you can't let me go hungry."
"That makes sense." Jiang Chen grabbed Ye Rou's wrist and pulled her deeper into the forest.
Ye Rou thought of his various murder methods in the book and cried, "Don't kill me."
She struggled so hard that Jiang Chen got annoyed and carried her on his shoulders, striding away.
Ye Rou's head rested on Jiang Chen's chest, her head feeling dizzy due to the congestion.
She was thrown down roughly, and when she turned around, she saw a big pit next to her!
She immediately woke up and realized that Jiang Chen was going to bury her alive!
Ye Rou got up and ran away.
Jiang Chen seemed to have eyes on the back of his head and grabbed her with his backhand.
"Be honest."
Ye Rou stared at Jiang Chen warily, fearing that he would go crazy and push her into the pit.
Jiang Chen and Ye Rou squatted down beside the big pit, "Which one do you want to eat?"
Ye Rou was afraid that if she opened her eyes she would see a pit of corpses, so she closed her eyes tightly, as if she would not die if she did not look.
Jiang Chen pinched her face and forced her to open her eyes.
Ye Rou lowered her head in grief and anger. The worst that could happen was death!
The pit was not the corpse pit she had imagined. There was a wild boar cub and two pheasants trapped inside.
She was completely confused, "What on earth are you going to do?"
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to eat a full meal before setting off?"
His face pressed against her shoulder, his breath was slightly hot, and Ye Rou turned her head away uncomfortably.
"You really let me choose?"
Jiang Chen nodded.
She couldn't go hungry even if she died, so she chose the pheasant. "I want to eat chicken."
Jiang Chen caught the pheasant and handed it to Ye Rou.
The pheasant flapped its wings wildly.
Ye Rou was confused, "What are you doing?"
"You don't expect me to cook for you, do you?" Jiang Chen stuffed the pheasant into Ye Rou's arms.
——
A bonfire was built by the river. Ye Rou was holding the pheasant in her hand, which was flapping its wings wildly, but she didn't know where to start.
The theory is in place, but practical experience is insufficient.
She hesitated for a long time, then turned to look at Jiang Chen, looking for help.
Jiang Chen, holding a cigarette in his mouth, leaned against a big tree and glanced at Ye Rou.
Hunger gave Ye Rou courage. She stared at Jiang Chen and said, "I won't."
The pheasant in her hand was still alive, its wings flapping violently. Ye Rou held its claws, her eyes full of helplessness.
"Tsk, what a hassle." Jiang Chen came over with a cigarette in his mouth, took the pheasant, went to the stream, killed the chicken, plucked its feathers, and cleaned the internal organs with the small knife he carried with him. His movements were skillful and smooth.
Ye Rou stood up to leave, but Jiang Chen stopped her.
"You want to escape?"
His eyes were gloomy and his expression was somber.
Ye Rou knew she couldn't escape. Anyone targeted by Jiang Chen would die even if they ran to the ends of the earth. She shook her head and said, "I'll go find some seasoning."
Jiang Chen stared at Ye Rou, and seeing that she was not guilty, he let her go.
Ye Rou walked around the area and found wild onions and wild garlic, dug up two tender bamboo shoots, picked some black fungus growing on a piece of scrap wood, and some straw mushrooms hidden in the grass.
Jiang Chen put the cleaned pheasant on a wooden stick and handed it to Ye Rou.
Ye Rou took the pheasant, and her wrist sank due to the weight, but she managed to hold on to it.
She held the chicken over the fire and roasted it until the skin was oily and the tiny chicken feathers were licked off by the flames, then she rinsed it with water.
Ye Rou stuffed bamboo shoots, wood ear mushrooms, straw mushrooms and wild garlic into the chicken's stomach, and then threaded wild onions through the chicken's stomach, then held the chicken up and roasted it over the fire.
Ye Rou held the chicken for almost half an hour. The chicken was too big and heavy. She switched hands back and forth, and her hands were so sore that they were shaking slightly.
Jiang Chen put out his cigarette, walked over silently, took the chicken, and turned it over the fire.
The aroma of roasted chicken is extremely rich, mixed with the fragrance of bamboo shoots, which makes people salivate.
Ye Rou found a clean stone slab and rinsed it with stream water. After the chicken was roasted, she placed the chicken on the stone slab, took Jiang Chen's knife, and cut the chicken into pieces.
The chicken's belly was cut open, and the wood ear mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and bamboo shoots were soaked in the chicken, emitting an extremely tempting aroma.
Jiang Chen smelled the fragrance and looked at Ye Rou in surprise. He thought she was just doing it casually, but he didn't expect she had some skills.
Ye Rou handed the two sharpened wooden sticks to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen squatted in front of the stone slab and picked up a piece of chicken with chopsticks. As soon as the chicken entered his mouth, his body paused.
The chicken was not salted, and I originally thought it would be tasteless. I don’t know if it was the weeds that Ye Rou stuffed in that made the gravy rich and fragrant, making it so delicious that you want to swallow your tongue.
This body has a bad stomach and cannot eat too much oily food. Ye Rou ate until she was 80% full and then ate some black fungus and shiitake mushrooms. When her stomach was so full, she could not eat anything else.
Seeing that Ye Rou had stopped eating, Jiang Chen devoured all the meat in a flash. The gloom on his face disappeared, revealing a bit of satisfaction.
After Jiang Chen finished eating, Ye Rou closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling with fear. "I'm full. Now you can kill me however you want. I only have one request. Can you choose a way for me to die that isn't too painful?"
Jiang Chen walked over to Ye Rou and squatted down, thinking that it would be nice to raise such a small animal.
She can cook, is timid, doesn't eat much, and most importantly, he is very curious about the inhuman changes in her.
Ye Rou waited for a long time, but Jiang Chen did not make a move.
She tentatively opened one eye, but didn't see Jiang Chen.
"Gone?!" Ye Rou collapsed on the ground, cold sweat soaking her back. She survived.
She survived Jiang Chen!
