Chapter 17 A Cow
The so-called water Du Shan was talking about was nothing more than a stagnant puddle with flies flying around it and mouse or rabbit droppings on the edge.
He skimmed off the grass clippings while filling his water bag.
Sang Ning also pretended to pour some into the clay pot.
Hu Si followed the feces to look for animal footprints. What he wanted most now was meat!
I feel weak if I don’t eat some meat for a day!
Sang Ning discovered another kind of wild grass beside the water.
Three white grass.
In the past, when she was outdoors and got bitten by mosquitoes, she would apply this externally.
It can detoxify and reduce swelling, and is mainly used to treat edema, athlete's foot, jaundice, carbuncles and sores. It can be used for Huo Changan.
"Can this kind of grass be eaten?" Du Shan asked.
In his memory, this kind of grass grew by every river, but even cows and sheep would not eat it.
"You can't eat it. It's poisonous, but it's a medicinal herb that can detoxify and reduce swelling."
Du Shan nodded suddenly, feeling enlightened.
The women of the Huo family are all in great trouble because of this person, otherwise they would have been in great trouble.
"Master Du, can you lend me your knife? I want to cut some cattails."
"What's the point of cutting this?"
Du Shan paused slightly, the three people she had killed flashing through his mind, but in the end he handed the knife to her.
"The pseudostem and the tender head of the underground stem can both be used for cooking."
It is especially delicious when fried with eggs.
Du Shan was surprised: "Can this thing be eaten?"
How come no one in the village has eaten it before? Is it true?
“Everything is edible.”
Sang Ning smiled and said, "This tastes delicious! However, we don't have any oil over there. Can you lend us some so we can cook it and eat together?"
Du Shan hadn't eaten any fresh vegetables for a long time, so he was immediately interested when he heard it.
"It's okay if it tastes good, but if it doesn't, I won't trust you anymore."
"no problem!"
She is a famous food blogger in China. Even a plate of fried stones can make people lick their tongues, let alone such fresh and tender wild vegetables.
I was cutting when I suddenly felt something was wrong.
Walking in the wild all year round, Sanning has a high level of vigilance and sixth sense.
She looked up, and her eyes suddenly narrowed.
"Master Du! Don't move!"
She shouted, her eyes cold and sharp.
Du Shan was startled and secretly reached for the dagger in his boots.
What does she want to do?
*
Under the tree.
The Huo family was given a few more black steamed buns.
A fire was lit across the street and a chicken was roasted.
The aroma of chicken wafted over, and the three children couldn't help drooling.
I really want to eat meat, especially after eating the snacks given by Fourth Aunt. I can’t eat the hard black steamed buns at all.
"Grandma, will Fourth Aunt find some delicious food?" Jin Xin asked with her mouth watering.
"Yes, you can eat some steamed bread first."
If someone comes to ask her why she still wants to eat steamed buns, then she will just wait.
Xiao Jinxin and Jinxiu looked into the distance eagerly.
Huo Changan also turned his head, his eyes heavy and with a hint of worry.
Is it time to come back?
Soon, two figures appeared at the end of the forest.
"Narcissus, Xiaoya!" The sister-in-law hurried forward.
"Where is your fourth sister-in-law?"
"She is still looking for something." Huo Jingya said while supporting Yun Shuixian.
Yun Shuixian's face was so swollen that she couldn't speak. She looked at the old lady with a wronged look.
The old lady asked anxiously: "What happened? They..."
"No, mother, it was my fourth sister-in-law who beat me." Huo Jingya said in a low voice.
Huo Changan, who had propped up his upper body, looked better when he heard this.
Xie Yurou's anxious expression disappeared and she pouted.
I guess it’s Yun Narcissus’ fault again!
Tsk, he’s been beaten into a pig’s head!
Hearing Huo Jingya say this, Yun Shuixian became even angrier and cried while holding the old lady's hand.
"Okay, don't mess with your fourth sister-in-law in the future."
The old lady didn't ask why she was beaten, nor did she scold Sang Ning'er.
He just said this casually.
Yun Shuixian was stunned.
In the past, her aunt would feel sad if she lost a few hairs!
"You guys came back while she's still there? Leaving two officers with her? Huo Jingya, where's your brain?" Huo Changan scolded harshly.
Huo Jingya was frightened by the scolding.
The main reason was that the fourth sister-in-law looked too powerful, and Du Shan looked quite decent, and Narcissus was so frightened that she didn't even have the strength to walk.
So, she didn't think about Sang Ning'er's safety at all and came back first.
"I, I'll go find her now!"
"Looking for, what!"
Yun Shuixian endured the pain from the tearing of her mouth and shouted incoherently: "She is with the police, I don't know how happy she is, laughing so lewdly and cheaply!"
Huo Changan's face suddenly darkened, and he stared at Yun Shuixian with a storm in his eyes.
How could a young lady from a wealthy family say such filthy words?
This cousin always impresses me time and time again!
"Narcissus, what are you talking about!" Huo Jingya was shocked.
"You, can't you see? She and Dushan... woo!"
Yun Shuixian was slapped again, and the pain doubled. Her face was distorted terribly and her whole body was trembling.
The one who beat her was Xie Yurou.
"No wonder he got hit. He didn't hit me hard enough. His mouth really stinks!"
Xie Yurou!
Yun Narcissus is going crazy!
She couldn't beat Sang Ning'er, so how could she not beat this sickly guy?
With red eyes, he was about to pounce.
Unexpectedly, Li Yuzhi and the old lady protected Xie Yurou together.
Yun Shuixian wailed and knelt on the ground.
They all bully her, they all bully her!
She is indeed an outsider!
For her cousin, she became a prisoner and was exiled thousands of miles away. Is this how they treated her?
"Mother... Mother..." She called out to her dead mother incoherently, accusing and wailing.
The old lady felt upset and covered her chest, trying to catch her breath.
"I'm back!" Li Yuzhi shouted.
Everyone looked over there.
What is that?
Two constables and Sang Ning'er came over carrying a huge object.
Even Li Chang and Tian Kaiwu on the opposite side stood up in shock.
When they got closer, they could see the hairy thing clearly.
It's a calf.
To be precise, it is a long-horned bison, which is very aggressive. Its sharp horns can lift a person into the sky if they are inserted into the human body.
And the more people move, the more fiercely it attacks, just like the Spanish bullfighting.
Logically speaking, bison are gregarious animals, and this kind of bison can usually only be seen further west into the mountainous areas. I don't know how one appeared here.
Probably because the climate is too abnormal.
Du Shan was very grateful to Sang Ning.
If she hadn't thrown a knife and stabbed it into the bull's eye, he would probably have been gored to death!
At that time, I thought she was going to harm him, which makes me feel ashamed now.
"Fourth Madam, let's eat this cow together!"
"Okay, thank you."
Although it was only a half-grown calf, it still weighed several hundred pounds, and so many people could not finish it in a few meals.
In this kind of weather, the food will go bad if you don’t finish it.
Sang Ning winked at the three children and said, "We have meat to eat today!"
Jinxin and Jinxiu clapped their hands, drooling: "Fourth Aunt is amazing! She really brought back some meat!"
"Fourth Aunt, is this really what you hunted?" Huo Jintang was still in shock, staring at the rare creature with wide eyes.
He had never seen such a ferocious-looking bull before.
The cows that plow the fields are all very docile.
"I don't have that much ability. It killed itself by hitting itself."
