Chapter 6: Pheasant Incident
After leaving, the mother and son chatted with each other on the road.
"How did mother catch the rabbit last time?"
Dabao confessed all his doubts. Rabbits run fast and are cunning. Even experienced hunters in the village would take a lot of time to catch them. How did she do it?
"Hehe, that was actually picked up by mother."
"Picked it up?" Dabao was stunned: "Could it be that he picked it up from a trap set by someone else?"
Dabao asked tentatively, but Xu Miaomiao immediately rejected it.
"Of course not. A rabbit hit a tree by itself, and I picked it up and took it home."
"Eh" Dabao was stunned: This is even more unconvincing than telling him that there are really fairies in the sky.
"Really!" Xu Miaomiao looked at Dabao, the sincerity in her eyes almost overflowing.
Alas, Xu Miaomiao sighed in her heart: "Forget it, if someone else told me this, I wouldn't believe it." Isn't this pure nonsense.
As he spoke, a white figure flashed past him.
A fat, tender and healthy rabbit ran towards Xu Miaomiao, went straight to a big tree nearby and then ate.
“Look, that’s how I picked it up.”
It all happened so fast that before Dabao could react, Xu Miaomiao had already picked up the rabbit and threw it into the box.
After a while, a pheasant stopped in front of them again, and Xu Miaomiao grabbed the chicken by the neck.
Dabao was confused, and felt that the woman in front of him had become so strange. How could such a low-probability event happen so often? Could it be that she was using witchcraft?
Xu Miaomiao proudly held the rabbit and sighed:
I am so lucky. My fortune has changed immediately since I entered the book.
As you pick up small animals along the way, they will come to your door.
Xu Miaomiao took Dabao all the way home, and Dabao's eyes became more and more complicated when he looked at her.
What happened to this child today?
As soon as Xu Miaomiao entered the door, she met Song Weiwei.
Song Weiwei stared at the chicken in her hand, frowned, and asked in a sharp voice: "Xu Miaomiao, where did you get these things? Did you steal them?"
"I caught it in the mountains." Xu Miaomiao responded, not wanting to argue with her.
Song Weiwei glanced at her with disdain and said sarcastically, "I don't care where you are from, as long as you don't affect the reputation of our Song family."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Xu Miaomiao raised her eyebrows helplessly and sighed.
He found a few fences to enclose the pheasants he had just caught. Looking at the pheasants jumping around in the nest, he clapped his hands and walked towards the kitchen.
He processed the rabbit skillfully and took out the dead pheasant from the space to make soup.
Put the food on the table and ask the children to eat.
After what happened yesterday, Erbao and Xiaobao ate the rabbit meat in front of them without any surprise, but Dabao was a little hesitant when eating.
Such a small figure, but it has a lot of things hidden in its heart, Xu Miaomiao sighed.
He turned around and walked out of the house with his bowl and chopsticks, only to see several villagers gathered in front of his yard, staring at the pheasants in the chicken coop, muttering to themselves.
"Everyone, what's wrong?" Xu Miaomiao asked.
The two men were chewing melon seeds and looking at Xu Miaomiao with interest: "Madam Song, where did you get this chicken?"
"I caught this pheasant myself. Is there any problem?"
"I didn't expect Madam Song to be so capable. A woman can also hunt."
"Yes, my lady is really amazing."
The two of them sang in unison, their expressions changing. Xu Miaomiao frowned, having a bad feeling: these two people might be here to cause trouble.
The noise quickly attracted the attention of the villagers. Wang Xing'er, who was passing by, walked over in the direction of the sound and surrounded Xu Miaomiao's small yard.
"As luck would have it, my brother and I set up a trap the day before yesterday, but after two days of waiting, there was nothing inside except a pile of chicken feathers."
As soon as the tall and thin man opened his mouth, the fat boy next to him immediately responded: "Yeah, how could the chicken that fell into the trap disappear? It's impossible for it to fly out by itself."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.
Wang Xing'er's eyes turned, and she said unconsciously: "I saw Xu Miaomiao sneaking into the mountains after class yesterday. Could it be..."
Although the words were not finished, the meaning was self-evident to everyone, and they pointed at Xu Miaomiao.
The noise in the yard attracted Song Weiwei over, and she spat at Xu Miaomiao: "Xu Miaomiao, I was wondering where you got this chicken from. You must have stolen it. Return it to me now!"
“Hahahaha.” Wang Xing’er responded with a smile: “Xu Miaomiao, your sister-in-law can’t stand it anymore, so just give it back to these two brothers and apologize. That’s all.”
Xu Miaomiao frowned and looked at the two brothers with a fierce look on his face: "I say again that I didn't steal it. I caught the chicken myself."
Seeing her tough attitude, the two brothers planned to climb over the fence and steal the things. The pheasant jumped around in the yard under the chase, and Xu Miaomiao quickly picked up the pheasant.
"You accuse me of stealing chickens, but do you have any evidence?"
Xu Miaomiao spoke with a firm attitude.
The two brothers were not vague and stared at Xu Miaomiao: "Wang Xing'er saw it yesterday, do you still want to quibble?"
Everyone stared at Wang Xing'er, who looked evasive and stammered, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes yesterday, there's no doubt about it."
"Haha." Xu Miaomiao chuckled twice, pinching the chicken's neck and walking in front of Wang Xing'er: "Are you sure you saw me go into the mountain last night?"
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes."
Things have come to this, even if it is not the case, it is the case. Wang Xing'er thought to herself: I must drive Xu Miaomiao out.
Xu Miaomiao led the chicken to the two brothers and said, "You said you set a trap. How did you set it up?"
The two brothers looked at Xu Miaomiao and said confidently: "Dig a big hole, put down the trap, and then bury it with hay."
The village is remote and the soil is not good enough to grow food. Most people in the village make a living by hunting in the front mountain, and occasionally set traps in the back mountain. There are many prey in the back mountain, but there are also many wild animals, so they will set traps.
Hearing the answer, Xu Miaomiao smiled slightly and threw the pheasant to the two brothers: "Since the trap was set, the animal must have scars on its body. Take a look. If the chicken has a wound, you can take it away and I will not say a word."
The two brothers looked at each other, staring at the pheasant in their hands until a hole was almost made, but they didn't find any scars.
