Tang Baozhu suddenly remembered the rabbit she had picked up from the basket, took it out of the basket, and went to the room where Li Feifei lived.
I knocked on the door a few times, and when I heard a response from inside, I stopped.
"Oh, it's Baozhu. Is there something you need?"
Zheng He was quite surprised to see Tang Baozhu when she opened the door, since it seemed to be the first time Tang Baozhu had knocked on their door, so she was very curious about what she wanted.
Tang Baozhu held up the rabbit in her hand to show her, "I was a little bored just now, so I went outside for a walk and found this rabbit on the ground. I don't know when it froze to death, and I'm a little scared to eat it. I wanted to ask if you are scared? If you are not scared, I'll give it to you to eat."
Zheng He hadn't expected such a good thing. Just by looking at the rabbit, she could tell it had frozen to death in the field. What was there to be afraid of eating? "Baozhu, are you really not going to eat it? This rabbit froze to death. It's okay to eat it."
"I don't want it anymore, you can have it! Since you don't mind, you can keep it and eat it. Anyway, you're all eating together, so it's good that we can all eat together. Okay, I'll go back now, it's too cold outside."
Tang Baozhu had more fresh meat than she could eat in her own storeroom, so why would she want to eat this? She simply shoved the rabbit into Zheng He's hands and ran back into the house, giving the impression that she was freezing cold.
Zheng He was quite happy looking at the rabbit in his hand. Although there was also spicy fish, who would refuse to eat fresh meat? He happily carried the rabbit back to the house, talking to the people inside as he went.
"Feifei, Xiaoxue, come and see what I'm carrying?"
The two men were very curious about the rabbit she was carrying. "Where did this rabbit come from?"
“This is what Baozhu just brought over for me. She said she found this rabbit outside and doesn’t know how many days it’s been dead. She’s too scared to eat it, so she asked us if we dared. If we did, we could keep it for everyone to eat. I just touched it, and it didn’t die from any other reason. It was definitely frozen to death. I think it’s still okay to eat it.”
Li Feifei touched it and checked it carefully again. "It really did freeze to death. Since Baozhu doesn't want it, we'll stir-fry it tonight and make it a dish for everyone."
Lin Xiaoxue's mouth watered at the thought of eating rabbit meat that night. The last time she ate meat was fish, and although fish is considered meat, it never felt as satisfying as real meat.
"That's great, we can have meat tonight."
After giving the rabbit to him, Tang Baozhu went back to her room and took out some books from her spatial storage to read, especially useful books, those essential books for time travelers, and those with inventions that could help people thrive in ancient times.
So you're unsure where you'll go in the future? But it's still necessary to prepare in advance and learn more.
I kept reading until it got dark outside the window before I closed the book and prepared to make some dinner.
"Baozhu, the rabbit meat is cooked. I'll bring you a bowl. Don't complain if it's not tasty."
Just as I was about to cook the rice, I saw Zheng He bring over a bowl of rabbit meat with lots of potatoes in it. She added extra potatoes because she was worried there wouldn't be enough to eat.
"Zheng He, you can take it back. I really don't want it. I'm not just being polite."
Tang Baozhu wasn't really being polite; she just felt a bit awkward. Besides, he wasn't short of meat, and if she took such a big bowl back, everyone could have a few more bites, so she declined.
Seeing that Baozhu absolutely refused, Zheng He didn't force her. Everyone has different habits; maybe she just doesn't like eating rabbit meat.
"Why wouldn't you like it? It's really such good meat, it's such a waste. Never mind, if you don't want it, I'll take it back, and everyone can have a bite more."
"Okay, take it back quickly, you should eat more. I'm also preparing to cook."
Another week passed slowly like this. Finally, the brigade leader asked the educated youth to choose three people to go on patrol. Because Tang Baozhu was particularly interested, she was the first to sign up.
The second person to sign up was Li Feifei, because she was worried that Baozhu was new and didn't know anything, and would cause trouble for others. She thought that she had been here for many years and had patrolled many times, so she was more experienced and decided to take Baozhu with her.
The third person to sign up was Zhang Jianguo. Needless to say, he was definitely worried about the two girls going alone, especially since one of them was his girlfriend.
"Since you've made up your minds, then go to the lake tomorrow. Follow the squad leader; she'll tell you exactly what to do. Don't act on your own and cause unnecessary trouble."
Captain Jin was just there to remind everyone to register and to record the names of those who registered so that it would be easier to find them later if anything came up.
After the captain left, Baozhu quickly asked Feifei what she wanted to take with her.
"This trip will last for half a month. You need to bring half a month's worth of food. The village will provide a stove and a pot, and everyone will cook together. If you don't like the food, you can bring your own dry food. You also need to dress warmly. I don't know yet whether you will be on guard duty during the day or at night, but generally we won't ask the educated youth to keep watch at night, because we are worried that they are not strong enough to kill a chicken. Most of the time, it will be the strong young men in the village who will keep watch. Other than that, there is nothing else you need to bring."
"Thank you, Feifei. I understand now. I'll go pack my things now. Call me when you leave tomorrow, and we'll go together."
Don't worry! I'll call you when the time comes.
Tang Baozhu returned to her room and packed her things. The only thing that troubled her was the problem of food. Fortunately, she had so much dried meat and other things, so she wouldn't go hungry. In particular, the dried meat with spiritual energy was very filling.
Before going to bed, I checked the red envelopes and group messages. No one was contacting her, so I just left.
Because she was going to the lake at the border, she got up very early in the morning. She was worried that she would oversleep, so she set an alarm clock.
After breakfast, I picked up my things and left the house, locking the door behind me. I happened to see Li Feifei and Zhang Jianguo coming out of the house with their things, so it seems everyone's timing is pretty good.
"Baozhu, you're so fast! I was just wondering if I should call you, but you came out on your own."
"I was worried that I would oversleep, so I set an alarm."
Li Feifei was taken aback. She hadn't expected Baozhu to have an alarm clock. She'd heard that alarm clocks were only sold in big cities, so it seemed Baozhu's family was indeed quite well-off.
"Let's go now. We'll get there around 7 o'clock, which is neither too early nor too late."
