"No problem." Although Xiang Wentian is still young, he is very sensible and all this is within his ability to handle.
"Brother, can I try to climb up by myself? I can do it, believe me." Leng You did have this confidence.
"No, let's talk about it after a few days." Xiang Wentian refused.
He had to personally train Leng You before he dared to let her try.
then--
The first trip: Xiang Wentian carried Leng You on his back, Leng You carried six rabbits on his back and held a bag of eight quails in one hand (this was at Leng You's strong request and after Xiang Wentian confirmed that these quantities were easy for Leng You);
The second trip: Xiang Wentian carried two roe deer on his back;
The third trip: Xiang Wentian still carried two roe deer;
The fourth trip: Xiang Wentian carried nine colorful pheasants on his back.
It is true that carrying these animals is not as convenient as carrying people, otherwise Xiang Wentian believed that with his current strength, it would not be a problem to carry three or four hundred kilograms at a time.
After bringing up all the prey, Xiang Wentian tied four roe deer together with a rope, and also tied the rabbits and pheasants together.
then--
Xiang Wentian carried Leng You on his back, dragging a roe deer in one hand and a rabbit and a pheasant in the other. Leng You, who was curled up on his back, was carrying the eight quails in the bag.
The thick snow on the ground provided them with great assistance, and the prey strung on the rope followed the two men slidably.
They were not afraid of leaving any traces, as these traces would be covered by the blizzard in a short while. Even if not, no villager would dare to set foot on this "Road of Death" leading to the deep valley outside the village.
Although visibility was extremely low due to the snowstorm, the two could still see from afar a figure that looked more like a snowman than they did, moving back and forth at the door with a burnt look. It was Wen Jiuyue.
"You're finally back!" Wen Jiuyue wiped the water droplets on her face, not sure if they were from snowflakes or tears from her eyes, and ran forward quickly.
It was already dark. If the two children didn't come back she would go to the other side of the valley. What evil spirits, what soul summoning, what death?
"I'm sorry! I made you worry." Xiang Wentian looked apologetic.
"Grandma Wen, it's my fault. I wasted time because of my playfulness." Leng You was not trying to excuse Xiang Wentian. The responsibility was originally on her. If Xiang Wentian hadn't taught her how to use a slingshot, she wouldn't have been delayed for so long.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back, hurry up and get into the house, you must be freezing!
Oh my god! Why... why are there so many things?
Isn't this a roe deer? A pheasant? Are these all from that valley?
Good God! That valley...what on earth is that?
No, that's not the point. I ask you, did you catch all of these?
Since there are these things in the valley, there shouldn’t be tigers, wild boars, wolves or anything like that!
Oh my God! No, you can’t go there again, it’s too dangerous.”
When he finally put his mind at ease, the exaggeratedly large pile of prey directly entered Wen Jiuyue's sight, just like when Leng You and the others took back the ginseng. The old man was frightened again.
But the fear quickly shifted from the prey to the personal safety of the two people.
"Grandma Wen also knows about roe deer?" This kind of animal has never appeared in Daheishan Village. There were no television or magazines in those days, and there were not even many people in the village who could read. Leng You didn't expect that Wen Jiuyue could call out the name of roe deer right away.
“There are these things on the mountain near my hometown. When I was a kid, I often saw them when I went up the mountain with my father to collect firewood.
No, I am now telling you not to enter the valley again.
Did you hear me? You are not allowed to go there again."
Wen Jiuyue touched her chest and felt her heart beating wildly. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became.
"There are only these animals in the valley. Don't worry, it's safe." Xiang Wentian said.
"Really?" Wen Jiuyue's trust in Xiang Wentian was unquestionable.
"I promise." Xiang Wentian nodded.
"Grandma Wen, we don't have to worry about being hungry in the future. There are so many of these things in the valley, including many pheasant eggs and bird eggs. We can pick them up some other day." Leng You gently pulled the corner of Wen Jiuyue's clothes.
Wen Jiuyue was busy brushing off the snow on Leng You's body, while some of the snow on her own body had melted into water and was flowing down her hair.
"This is all the blessing brought by our Youyou and Xiaotian!" Suddenly thinking of the abuse Leng You had suffered and the uncertain future, Wen Jiuyue's heart suddenly twisted, his hand paused, and his eyes became red.
"Grandma Wen." Leng You held Wen Jiuyue's fingers.
All the things that happened in his past life made Leng You so cold-hearted and cold-blooded that his skin was like an iceberg that would never melt for thousands of years.
After being reborn, although his body has shrunk several sizes, the iceberg beneath the skin has not shrunk or melted at all. Although he read the contents of Wen Jiuyue's eyes, his heart also felt warmed.
Leng You didn't know how to comfort her.
"The ginseng can be harvested." Xiang Wentian changed Wen Jiuyue's mood in a timely manner.
"Yes, it's all dry. I'll go get the prepared things.
Oh, let’s eat first! It’s too late, you must be very hungry!
Xiaotian, do you want to eat with us and then take it back to your dad and the others?"
Wen Jiuyue just turned around and immediately turned back.
"When I left home in the morning, I told my dad and the others that I would be back late, and asked them to make their own dinner." Xiang Wentian felt a little embarrassed to wait for Wen Jiuyue to cook ready-made meals for them every day.
"Is that so? Well, let's eat."
Wen Jiuyue didn't insist anymore. It was because her limited food supply had been consumed by the sudden increase in the number of people in the past few days. She could only make sweet potato porridge tonight.
Although it is called porridge, it actually contains only a very small amount of cornmeal with husk, and it is almost entirely sweet potatoes.
However, you cannot eat steamed sweet potatoes for every meal. Eating too much of it will burn your stomach and cause acid reflux.
Fortunately, both children are not picky eaters, especially Xiang Wentian. Although he comes from a big city, he never frowns even when eating the roughest food.
Not to mention Leng You. In Wen Jiuyue's opinion, this poor child had never been full before. She would wolf down anything given to her.
But since being rescued from the valley, the child suddenly seemed like a different person. Not only was he no longer as timid as before, he also spoke in a serious and determined manner, and he also chewed his food slowly.
But this kind of Leng You made her like him even more and felt hurt from the bottom of her heart.
The three people, who were already hungry, quickly finished their dinner with diced rabbit stewed with pickles and sweet potato porridge.
Then things started to get busy.
The largest jar in Wen Jiuyue's house was moved into a corner of the bedroom by Xiang Wentian yesterday. Although the bedroom is not large, the two camphorwood boxes that Wen Jiuyue used when she got married don't take up much space.
