Chapter 94 Catching Pheasants
After returning home, Lu Xiaoxiao put down the backpack and walked to the winnowing basket where the dandelions were drying. She saw that the side facing upwards had already dried, so she turned them all over.
She thought that it would be completely dry if she dried it in the sun for another day tomorrow, but she didn't know what the quality of the processed dandelions would be like.
After returning to the main room, Lu Xiaoxiao washed her hands and face with a basin of water, and then changed her clothes. When she was cutting grass for the pigs, her whole body was covered with grass clippings, and she felt uncomfortable if she didn't change her clothes.
After changing her clothes, Lu Xiaoxiao thought that she hadn't eaten roast duck for a long time, so she took out a portion of roast duck and a bottle of sour plum juice from the space and started eating without saying anything.
In the afternoon, Lu Xiaoxiao did not plan to continue cutting grass for pigs. She did not rely on cutting grass for a living, so she only needed to cut one basket of grass every day. In the afternoon, she would go up the mountain to see if there were any medicinal herbs. If she could not find fresh medicinal herbs, she would not be able to study the second stage of the Medicine Sutra at all.
After taking a half-hour nap, Lu Xiaoxiao got up and put on a light long coat and trousers, then tied her trouser legs and cuffs tightly with cloth strips, and finally put on a pair of rain boots.
Now it's spring and the vegetation on the mountain is lush, there are many insects, and the snakes have ended their hibernation and come out to look for food. It would be terrible if they were bitten, so she still has to take protective measures in advance.
After Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the foot of the mountain, she found an empty path and walked up the mountain. Along the way, she would use bamboo to explore the way because she was afraid that a snake would suddenly appear.
After walking for a long time, Lu Xiaoxiao didn't see any herbs. The grass was too lush and it was difficult to find herbs. She looked up and saw a place not far away with no grass, so she planned to go there to rest for a while.
Lu Xiaoxiao sat on a rock, took out the water she had prepared from her backpack and took a sip. Then she pounded her sore calves with her hands for a while, then stood up and prepared to continue looking for herbs.
Not long after she walked away, she saw a pheasant with colorful fur and a long tail not far from her.
She gently took the backpack off her back, and then slowly approached the pheasant. She raised the backpack half a meter away from the pheasant and tried to catch the pheasant, but the pheasant noticed it, so it ran away.
Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the pheasant a few meters away from her, shaking its head, and occasionally looking at her with its green eyes, as if saying come and catch me, come and catch me, which was really provocative.
She thought that she hadn't found any herbs yet, and looking at the pheasant that was always trying to provoke her, she became angry. She didn't believe that she couldn't catch it today, so she picked up the backpack and ran towards the pheasant.
When the pheasant saw Lu Xiaoxiao's actions, it immediately started running, and a fierce chase in the forest began.
Lu Xiaoxiao used a lot of strength and fell down before finally catching the pheasant. She saw the pheasant with its wings and feet tied, nestling pitifully in the backpack. She glanced at the pheasant with contempt, thinking, you were showing off just now, and now you're caught.
After Lu Xiaoxiao put the backpack on her back, she looked around and thought, "I'm doomed." What kind of place is this? She was so busy chasing pheasants that she didn't even remember the route. How am I going to get back now?
She looked at the time and it was already past one o'clock, so she decided to look around to see if she could find the way back. She had just spent seven or eight minutes chasing the pheasant, so it shouldn't be too far from its previous location, so it should still be possible to find her way back.
Lu Xiaoxiao walked back in the direction she had chased the pheasant. She turned left and right for a long time but couldn't find the way back. However, she found a large field of plantain, which was really a piece of cake without any effort.
But now is not the time to dig plantain. It is more important for her to find the way home first, so she made a mark here and planned to dig it again tomorrow.
