Even now, Yu Jiu is so exhausted from being put in bed by Xu Zijiang that she can't get out of bed. Her whole body is weak and sore, and this time even her rosy lips have not escaped. There is still some white, unidentified liquid sticking to the corner of her mouth.
Yu Jiu weakly wiped her mouth clean, pinched Xu Zijiang, and complained bitterly.
"You shameless bastard, just you wait!"
She was determined to teach Xu Zijiang the meaning of being detached from worldly desires!
"Fine, I'll wait. If you bring this up again, I'll give you a good beating and show you that I don't need to see a doctor at all."
Xu Zijiang smugly bent down and kissed Yu Jiu's fair and tender face. Full of energy and radiant, he got up and made breakfast for Yu Jiu.
Yes, after his ordeal with Yu Jiu, his dejection vanished, and he became even more energetic, as if he had taken a tonic. In contrast, Yu Jiu looked dejected, as if all his energy had been drained.
"Vixen!"
Looking at Xu Zijiang, who seemed to have slept for over ten hours and was full of energy, Yu Jiu couldn't help but wonder what he was made of, how could he be so... so...?
Yu Jiu couldn't find a good adjective to describe him. She was exhausted from all the tossing and turning, so she simply turned over and went to sleep. She would deal with everything after she woke up!
However, when Yu Jiu woke up, Xu Zijiang's house was empty, with only a simple meal laid out on the table. She didn't know where Xu Zijiang was; it was past eleven o'clock, and even if he had gone to patrol the fields, he should be back by now. Yu Jiu had originally intended to wait for Xu Zijiang, but she was too hungry, so she decided not to wait for the culprit and ate her own meal first.
She had thought Xu Zijiang would be back soon, but in fact, even after she had finished eating, washing the dishes, and even cooked a new dish, Xu Zijiang still hadn't returned.
Where did they go?
Yu Jiu straightened her clothes, making sure she looked alright, before going out. As soon as she stepped out, she bumped into Gouzi, and she quickly called out to him.
"Hey dog, where's your captain? Do you know where he went?"
"Oh, Captain, someone called him, but he went to the commune to answer the phone. Hasn't the captain come back yet? He's been gone for more than two hours."
The dog recalled with a puzzled look that around nine o'clock, the commune called, saying that it was an acquaintance of the team leader, and asked the team leader to go to the commune to answer the phone as soon as possible. It didn't say what the matter was, but only that the team leader had to answer the phone in person. It was he who relayed the message.
"Is that so? Then it must be something important."
Yu Jiu didn't necessarily need to find Xu Zijiang. Knowing he was busy with other matters, she stopped worrying about him and started wandering around the team. Over the past few days, she had become quite familiar with the team, and many people greeted her along the way. She knew almost all the roads. She strolled around the team, taking a walk, occasionally picking some foxtail grass or mimosa and tossing them into her small, worn-out bowl.
She walked along a path and eventually slowly climbed the mountain. Mushrooms would grow on the mountain after the rain, and everyone would rush over to pick them all, so now most of the remaining mushrooms were poisonous. Yu Jiu squatted in front of a red poisonous mushroom and looked at it for a long time. In the end, she couldn't resist and pulled the poisonous mushroom out.
"I don't know if you'll react if I give you this."
Yu Jiu took out her small, broken bowl and muttered to herself. She was really curious. Thinking about it carefully, she had never fed the small bowl anything poisonous. Surely a bowl wouldn't get poisoned?
Moreover, according to the patterns she discovered, Little Broken Bowl likes novel things. Feeding it something it has never eaten before will bring it a different kind of surprise and can also better help it nourish its body and restore its powerful functions. This is why Yu Jiu wanted to try the poisonous mushroom.
But this little broken bowl came from my body and is part of me. Will I have any problems if I eat the poisonous mushroom?
Yu Jiu was a little conflicted. After thinking for a while, she put away the poisonous mushrooms and planned to feed them to Xiao Powan when Xu Zijiang returned. That way, even if she also showed signs of poisoning and saw the little person, Xu Zijiang could take her to the hospital in time.
That's right, that's exactly it!
After making her plan, Yu Jiu searched the mountain again, hoping to catch a rabbit or a pheasant to feed Xiao Powan, which would be a good meal.
"Speak of the devil, and he appears!"
Yu Jiu spotted a fleeting white shadow ahead. Her eyes lit up, and she happily followed it. It was a fluffy white rabbit. After flashing past Yu Jiu, it didn't run far but instead grazed under the trees ahead.
Yu Jiu held her breath, bent over slightly, and cautiously approached the rabbit. She moved very lightly. When she was about half a meter away from the rabbit, the rabbit's ears suddenly perked up, and it stopped eating. It seemed to have noticed someone approaching, and its fluffy little face was full of vigilance.
Oh no, we're about to be discovered!
Yu Jiu pursed her lips. A thought suddenly struck her, and she took out the small broken bowl and lunged forward. The small broken bowl accurately landed on the head of the little rabbit that was about to run away. In a flash, the rabbit was sucked away by the small broken bowl. Yu Jiu also staggered a couple of times and fell down next to the small broken bowl.
"Ouch~~~"
Yu Jiu's hand seemed to have been pricked by a small pebble on the ground. Her pretty little face contorted for a moment, and she immediately sat up and gently blew on her hand, which had been dented by the pebble.
"Catching a rabbit is so hard! Luckily I'm good at throwing things, otherwise it would be impossible to catch a rabbit by myself."
She clicked her tongue and shook her head. After all, it was common knowledge that rabbits could run fast. She was already pretty amazing to be able to put the broken bowl on the rabbit's head. It was worth the little injury.
After the pain subsided, Yu Jiu picked up the small, broken bowl, dusted off her clothes, and prepared to leave. Suddenly, she seemed to see a nest of eggs in the grass...?
Because it was blocked by the grass, the only angle from which one could see it was from standing up. Upon seeing this, Yu Jiu immediately got up, walked to the side, and parted the grass. Sure enough, a nest of neatly arranged eggs was revealed. Some were whitish, some were yellowish, and some were brown. These were wild chicken eggs, and their size and color were quite different from the eggs laid by domestic chickens.
But there's no doubt that these eggs are delicious!
"A blessing in disguise!"
Yu Jiu was very satisfied. Getting a rabbit and a nest of wild eggs from smashing it was worth it!
She quickly collected all the wild eggs from the nest, feeding only one to Xiao Powan. She planned to take the remaining eleven back to eat with Xu Zijiang.
Yu Jiu hummed a song contentedly, put the broken bowl back, and was about to walk out of the bushes when suddenly she heard a cracking sound under her foot, as if she had stepped on a broken branch or something. Just like a normal person, Yu Jiu subconsciously looked down, and what she saw seemed to be something extraordinary.
Yu Jiu's pupils dilated instantly, her beautiful eyes widening in shock. Wow, was she having an incredible stroke of luck?!
