Chapter 325: Rabbits are so ugly! They must taste delicious!
After sending Lu Beiye away, Wenjiu calmed down and went back to his room to sleep. It snowed heavily for two consecutive days and he couldn't go out, so he stayed at home peacefully for two days to rest up.
Time passed quickly and it was the second day of the Lunar New Year. In the evening, when Lu Beiye came back from the army, he asked Wen Jiu to change his clothes and go out.
Wen Jiu felt strange, "Where are you going?"
The snow outside was so thick and it was almost dark. She had visited all the places she needed to visit in the past few days and really didn't know where else to go.
Lu Beiye put a scarf and hat on her, changed her into rain boots for rainy days, and took her hand and walked out, "Let's go to the village."
"Didn't I tell you earlier that I asked the hunters in the village to help me hunt some game? In the snow, animals are the best to hunt when they are not edible."
Wenjiu nodded, "Let's go then! I haven't even been to the village yet!"
The snow was very light at the moment, but Lu Beiye was afraid that the snow would fall on Wen Jiu's head and cause her to catch a cold, so he found an umbrella and put it over her.
The nearest village was not far from here. According to Lu Kitano, it would only take 10 minutes to walk there, but with the wine warmer, the time would be doubled.
The village is at the foot of the mountain. There are more than 30 households. They all live in houses built with yellow mud. The roofs are covered with black tiles that they baked in their own kilns. On snowy days, when they have nothing to do, they stay at home to peel corn.
The children were trapping birds in the snow.
Use branches tied with ropes to prop up the sieve or basket for sifting grain, sprinkle dry corn and wheat underneath, and then squat far away, holding the rope.
When you see a bird coming to eat, pull the rope and the bird will be caught.
Wen Jiu had never seen this before and found it extremely strange. She stared with her eyes wide open and continued to follow Lu Beiye forward. If Lu Beiye hadn't been by her side, she would have fallen a hundred or eighty times.
After grabbing the warm wine again, Lu Beiye finally couldn't help it.
"Can you see the road?"
Wen Jiu smiled and hugged his arm, saying flatteringly: "With you here, I don't need to look, you are my eyes."
"You won't let me fall."
Lu Beiye said helplessly: "What if I don't look at the road like you?"
Wen Jiu continued to laugh, "No, you will definitely watch your way when I am next to you, because you don't want me to fall."
Lu Beiye was under complete control and had no way to deal with Wen Jiu, a scoundrel.
"Just be poor!"
"Lie le le——"
Wen Jiu Chonglu Kitano made a face, "Isn't it because you spoil them all?"
The two talked as they walked, and the villagers who knew Lu Beiye greeted him.
"Captain Lu, is this your wife? She's so beautiful! You are so lucky!"
"A talented man and a beautiful woman?"
"No wonder you always come to the village to buy food for your wife. Who wouldn't spoil a wife like that?"
"What do you want to buy today? I recently saved more than 20 eggs. Do you want some?"
…
Because there is no market nearby, the nearest market is in the town. There are many people like Lu Beiye who come to the village to buy things, so almost every household in the village grows vegetables and raises chickens and ducks. Thanks to them, the villagers have made a lot of money.
But you may not be able to buy what you want every time you come.
After all, there are too many wolves and too little meat.
Wen Jiu joked, "I didn't expect you to be so popular! Is there anyone who wants to introduce their daughter to you?"
Lu Beiye said: "Yes."
Wenjiu's face fell instantly.
She is a typical woman who can't afford to be played. Just like when she was teasing Lu Beiye, he was shy and she was particularly excited and wanted to do it again and again. But once Lu Beiye overwhelmed her, she became wilted.
"You are the peacock!"
"He's always messing around with women!"
"Your man is so outstanding, aren't you happy? Your mouth is pouting like an oil pot could be hung on it. They had that intention but I didn't agree." Lu Beiye said as he pinched the fingers that were warming the wine to comfort her.
"Po Wang is selling melons!"
"You're just bragging!"
Wenjiu was still jealous and was unhappy to think that Lu Beiye was coveted by other women.
Lu Beiye snorted and laughed, "Are you not exaggerating? You exaggerate it many times every day."
"You don't admit it now?"
"I'm afraid it's a little late!"
What she always said every day was, "Lu Beiye, why are you so nice? Lu Beiye, I like you so much!" She kept saying it over and over again.
Who is Wang Po?
Isn't that obvious?
Wen Jiu glared at Lu Beiye fiercely, "I shouldn't have praised you against my conscience. I praised you to the point of being a nobody."
Lu Beiye was in a good mood, "Then hold the rope and don't let me drift."
The two of them were arguing as they walked, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the hunter Zhang's house.
His home is halfway up the mountain.
Zhang Hunter's mother, Mrs. Chen, was picking vegetables. When she saw Lu Beiye coming, she quickly wiped her hands and said, "Captain Lu, you are here. This is your daughter-in-law. I am so sorry for her. You came at a bad time. My son went to the mountains. I think he should be back soon."
"How about you go inside and wait?"
As the saying goes, the people do not fight against the officials. This is ingrained in the bones of the common people. In addition, they can have the current stable life because of the soldiers who defend their country and shed blood. Therefore, when they see military officers, they respect them unconsciously.
Lu Beiye nodded, "Okay."
He emphasized it many times, but Mrs. Chen was still like this so he didn't say anything more.
The house is rather simple.
There was a fire burning against the wall, emitting thick smoke.
Wen Jiu had just walked in and hadn't even sat down when the smoke made his eyes burst into tears.
When Mrs. Chen saw this, she quickly went to the eaves to fetch some dry firewood and put it in to start the fire. "I'm so sorry, Captain Lu. There are only my son and I at home, and we don't have much to offer. I can't prepare anything for you. You just stand at the door for a while and I'll start the fire right away."
She put the dry wood into the bamboo fire tube and blew at it. The fire soon started and the smoke disappeared.
Lu Beiye wiped the tears from Wen Jiu's eyes and said, "Do you want to go in? Can you bear it?"
Wen Jiu nodded, "Okay."
It's okay if there's no smoke.
The two of them went in and sat down. Mrs. Chen added firewood to the fire and said with a smile, "My son caught two wild rabbits last night, both alive. He just said that if he could catch them today, he would send them to you tomorrow! I didn't expect you to come here on your own."
"Hare?" Warming up the wine became interested.
"What does a hare look like?"
Mrs. Liu said enthusiastically, "Shall I bring it over to you?"
After she finished speaking, she went to pick up the cage.
Wild rabbits can dig holes and are valuable alive, so Zhang the hunter made a special rabbit cage.
After seeing the rabbits, Wenjiu was very disappointed, because it was not what she had imagined. The fur of the two rabbits was not white, but almost like mud, rough and ugly.
Lu Beiye looked at Wen Jiu with disappointment and said with a smile: "Isn't this one good-looking?"
"So you don't have to eat it!"
It also saves him from having to serve his two ancestors!
Wenjiu thought what he said made sense. Every time she saw a snow-white rabbit in the past, she would think that people who ate rabbit meat were bad, but when she saw these two rabbits, she instantly lost her feeling.
Bunny is so ugly!
It must taste delicious!
