Chapter 939 A Dream (20) (Update 67)
If the two wanted to go into the mountains, they could not leave Su Laixi behind. Otherwise, when Su Laixi woke up, he would not be able to see them and might even cry and look for them all over the village.
There was no choice but for the two to go into the house and wake Su Laixi up.
Su Laixi, who had just been woken up, was still confused. When he heard Su Runruan and Xiao Chengjin say that they were going into the mountains, his sleepiness was scared away.
"Ruanbao, didn't you promise your parents that you would never go into the mountains again?"
"But there is no chicken at home. Fourth brother, do you still want to eat chicken and drink chicken soup?" Su Ruanruan asked directly.
Thinking of the chicken soup and chicken he had eaten at noon, Su Laixi hesitated again.
The chicken is delicious! The chicken soup is delicious! "Fourth brother, let's catch a few more pheasants, so we can eat chicken and chicken soup every day." Su Ruanruan encouraged again.
What else could Su Laixi do? Of course he could only agree! Could he expect a seven-year-old to have any self-control? But this time, Su Ruanruan didn't plan to go empty-handed.
After searching the house, Su Ruanruan found the hemp rope and a smaller sickle.
Hemp rope is much easier to use than vines, and is perfect for tying up pheasants.
As for the sickle, although I can’t think of any use for it now, it’s always better to have it with me just in case.
The three of them locked the door and set off.
Following the same path they had taken in the morning and climbing over the first dirt slope, the three of them arrived at the place where they had caught the pheasant in the morning.
But it was very quiet here at that time, and I waited for a long time but didn't see any pheasants.
Su Runrun and Xiao Chengjin are not the type to sit and wait for death. If they can't wait for the pheasant, they would rather take the initiative.
Su Laixi wanted to object, but he was alone and could not face two people, so he could only follow them and look around vigilantly.
Compared to the mountains and rivers that stretch for who knows how far, this place is ultimately the outskirts.
Su Runruan had hunted wild boars in the mountains before, and she also knew what traces large wild animals would leave behind, so Su Runruan left with confidence.
After walking for a distance, Su Ruanruan found pheasant footprints and feces.
The presence of these things meant that pheasants had been active nearby. Su Runrun immediately asked Su Laixi and Xiao Chengjin to keep quiet, while she looked around carefully and vigilantly.
I don’t know if it’s because some of their companions were captured in the morning, but these pheasants have become more vigilant.
Su Ruanruan saw a few of them, but they were too far away and she couldn't guarantee that she could hit them with one shot, so she could only wait for the opportunity.
Su Runrun is very patient, and so is Xiao Chengjin.
Su Laixi, the only one who had no patience, simply sat down on the ground. He didn't care what Su Runruan and Xiao Chengjin were going to do. He just kept quiet.
Su Runrun was very satisfied with Su Laixi's approach, and became more vigilant.
The three of them spent the entire afternoon in the woods, until it gradually darkened, then they packed up and went back.
In fact, there was nothing to pack. The only thing they needed to pack was to take back the string of pheasants tied to a rope.
Su Runrun thought that these pheasants were to be taken to the county town to be sold. They were still alive and it would be best if they could survive until tomorrow so that they could be sold at a good price. Therefore, she was reluctant to take them back.
The three of them discussed it and finally decided that Su Ruanruan would walk in front and carry the rope on her shoulders.
Xiao Chengjin and Su Laixi walked behind, carrying the rope one in front and one behind.
