He looked at the four pigeons in his hands and finally gave up the idea.
He suppressed his inner restlessness.
Admonish yourself: Now is not the time, don't be reckless.
His Xixi loves cleanliness so much, if he were to hug her with the hand that had touched the pigeon...
What if she gets angry?
After repeated self-persuasion, he soon calmed down.
He began to divert his attention.
"Xixi, what are your plans for these two pigeons?"
Sheng Zhiyi shook the two pigeons in her hand that she had knocked unconscious with stones.
My partner just knocked them out but didn't kill them. I wonder if he had any other ideas.
Mu Yunxi glanced at the pigeons calmly and shook her head.
"I don't have any other plans. Just twist their necks and bring them back to make soup."
Sheng Zhiyi nodded and did as he was told. He twisted the pigeon to death and threw it into his backpack.
"Xixi, are we still going to pick persimmons?" Sheng Zhiyi glanced at the small persimmons hanging on the tree, then turned his head to look at his girlfriend.
"No need to pick any more. We have enough to eat now."
Mu Yunxi refused, saying that these ripe persimmons would go bad in a few days, and it would be a waste to pick too many and not be able to eat them all.
Sheng Zhiyi understood, and then he pointed to a large bush with purple-red fruits not far away.
"Then let's go pick some purple berries. You probably haven't eaten that fruit yet. It's very sweet. You can try it."
Mu Yunxi looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a patch of short bushes covered with small purple-red fruits.
The fruit is about the size of a slightly larger peanut, round and plump, and looks like a small wine glass.
She had seen this kind of fruit before when she went up the mountain, but at that time, the fruit was still very small, not ripe, and still green and yellow.
Looking at them again a month later, those plump and moist purple-red wild fruits were unexpectedly attractive.
Mu Yunxi walked over there with great interest.
: "Then let's go pick some."
The two of them walked around the mountain for the whole morning and picked a lot of wild fruits, vegetables and wild mushrooms.
It was almost noon when we started preparing to return.
Mu Yunxi felt that she didn't need to eat lunch today.
After tasting different kinds of wild fruits for the whole morning, her stomach was almost full.
On the way down the mountain, the two of them each collected a bundle of firewood. They had been busy with the autumn harvest some time ago and had no time to go to the mountain to collect firewood.
Most of the firewood they had brought home had been used up.
Since they don't have to work during this period, they have to get more firewood and store it so that they will have enough firewood for the winter.
The two of them walked to the middle of the mountain, almost reaching the village.
From a distance, we could see the team leader and a large group of villagers walking towards the village entrance in a menacing manner.
The villagers included both men and women, and some of the men were holding wooden sticks, looking like they were ready to fight.
Mu Yunxi and Sheng Zhiyi looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
"Xixi, what do you think they are going to do?"
Sheng Zhiyi asked questions as he walked.
Mu Yunxi shook her head slightly.
: "I don't know, but it looks like the situation is a bit serious."
Sheng Zhiyi looked at the wooden sticks in the hands of some villagers, which looked very strong, and agreed with his partner's words.
"Indeed, they've even brought their weapons with them. I'm afraid this situation won't end easily."
The two of them walked and talked, and soon reached the foot of the mountain.
Not long after entering the village, I met the team leader's wife Wang Guihua, and several other aunts and young wives chatting under a big tree.
The women were chatting enthusiastically.
Mu Yunxi and Sheng Zhiyi had just approached them when they heard a tall and thin aunt talking vividly.
"Oh, that kid Li Dajun is really unlucky. Why did he have to choose today when he could have gone to see the girl? And as luck would have it, not long after he arrived at the girl's house to see her, her grandfather suddenly passed away. This... I can't help but blame him."
"Yes, I heard that the old man was in good health. He even went to the mountain early this morning to chop a large bundle of firewood and brought it home. But as soon as the army arrived at his home, he died before he could even drink a sip of water."
"Actually, I think Da Jun can't be blamed for this matter at all. Life and death are unpredictable in this world. It's not like he can decide it by just sitting at the girl's house."
"Indeed, but this woman's family is too unreasonable. They actually detained the other army based on some trumped-up evidence."
"Yeah, I'm afraid we can't become close this time. It's good enough if we don't become enemies."
At this time, a young wife lowered her voice and spoke mysteriously,
"I heard that the reason they detained Li Dajun was mainly to get the Li family to pay more money to redeem Wang Dajun. Now they are insisting that the old man was angered to death by Wang Dajun."
"Oh, what a sin! Dajun is such an honest kid, a guy who blushes when he's told a few more words. How could he possibly anger a girl's grandfather to death?"
"That's right. In my opinion, that girl's family might be trying to take advantage of this opportunity to blackmail the Dajun family."
"I guess so. Alas, this matter is unlikely to be resolved peacefully. After all, a life was lost, and Da Jun was alone in their house at the time.
And the matchmaker happened to go to the toilet, so he couldn't explain himself even if he was right.
