The pheasant's flying ability is relatively weak, and once it is chased, its continuous take-off speed cannot be maintained for long.
Tian Yuzhu and Xiao Hei chased it for less than a kilometer and knocked it down from the tree. It was still struggling alive when Xiao Hei came forward and picked it up in his mouth and brought it back!
Anyway, it was time to make chicken soup in the evening. Tian Yuzhu took a vine and tied its legs together.
I took Xiao Hei back to the original place, carried the bamboo basket on my back, and happily returned to the military family area.
Seeing her return with a full load, the eagerly awaited military wives drooled with envy: "Yuzhu, you picked all these this morning. Oh, and you even shot a pheasant. Can you hunt?"
"Nonsense, didn't Yuzhu say she was a wolf-killing hero? She could even kill wolves, so why can't she kill a pheasant?"
"Yuzhu, there are no wolves in the mountains anymore, right?"
“…”
Tian Yuzhu was overwhelmed by her sisters-in-law's questions.
She smiled and answered them one by one: "Don't worry, there are no wolves in the mountains we are going to."
In fact, she had known this for a long time.
On that day, Qin Xu and his group encountered a pack of wolves near Luwangpo, deep in the mountains and forests.
The area where they picked perilla seeds was close to the road and not deep in the mountains, so wolves would never come here.
The reason why she pretended to take the matter seriously at first was because the two wolf howls were Xiao Hei's masterpiece, and she had to make up a lie no matter what.
When the military wives heard that there were no wolves in the mountains, they excitedly said they would go pick perilla seeds in the afternoon.
But Tian Yuzhu actually felt a little tired: "Sister-in-law, I won't go this afternoon. I bought some cloth last time and planned to make clothes for my nephews and nieces. I haven't started yet. I plan to sew some in the afternoon. You guys go today!"
Seeing that she had indeed picked a lot, Wang Xiu Di and the others agreed to meet her again tomorrow.
Tian Yuzhu was about to speak when she suddenly felt something light behind her.
She turned around and saw Shi Zhentang appearing out of nowhere and taking the bamboo basket from her back with one hand.
"Oh, Captain Shi is really caring."
"Captain Shi, you are truly a model husband."
The military wives immediately started to make a fuss. Such pampering is something any woman would envy!
Shi Zhentang curled his lips: "Sisters-in-law, you are too kind. Isn't it normal to love your wife?"
Tian Yuzhu felt sweet in her heart. She liked the feeling of being pampered like this, but she couldn't do that now.
So he immediately grabbed the bamboo basket again and said, "You are injured, have you forgotten?"
As she spoke, she turned and walked towards home, not giving him any chance to grab her.
Shi Zhentang quickly followed behind him: "..."
The military wives saw it with their own eyes and felt jealous. They wished that the bastard in their family could be half as caring as Captain Shi!
When she returned home, Tian Yuzhu found that the man had kneaded the dough, burned the firewood in the stove, and even picked some grass to feed the rabbits.
Her face immediately darkened and she put down the bamboo basket: "I'm telling you, you... um..."
As if he had anticipated what she would say, her tender lips were quickly blocked by the man behind her who lowered his head.
A lingering kiss almost took away all the strength in her body, and her little hands involuntarily grabbed the other's green shirt.
After a long time, Shi Zhentang finally let her go and said in a hoarse voice, "These are all things I can do. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and I won't hurt myself, ok?"
Looking at the little woman who was almost unable to stand, a smile appeared on his thin lips.
Tian Yuzhu blushed: "..."
...I feel a little dizzy. This man actually...since when did he start using this trick all the time?
She shook her head to regain her composure and finally calmed down: "That won't work either. Your left hand is still inconvenient. You must fully recover before you can do housework. Otherwise, I...I will be angry with you."
Shi Zhentang didn't want to really make her angry. He also knew her temper, so he surrendered a little: "Then I'm uncomfortable with being idle. Otherwise, I'll ask you first about what I can and can't do next time."
"That's more like it." Tian Yuzhu was very satisfied with the answer and smiled immediately: "I'll make you chicken soup for dinner, wait!"
…
The news that Tian Yuzhu had shot a wild pheasant soon reached Huang Xuehua's ears.
Feng Chun exaggerated the situation when he complained: "You didn't see the pheasant. She beat it so badly that it was a bloody mess."
Huang Xuehua couldn't help but sneer: "After all, he is just a country bumpkin, struggling to make ends meet and just trying to get a bite to eat. It's the modern age now, and he's still going up the mountain to hunt. How ridiculous."
"By the way, how did you find out why Qin Xu went into the mountains that day? And why was Tian Yuzhu there too? Did you find out anything?" Huang Xuehua has been thinking about this matter for a while.
Rumor has it that Tian Yuzhu had a nightmare in which she dreamed that Shi Zhentang's military competition was dangerous, so she went into the mountains to find him.
Who would believe this?
Even if a normal person has a nightmare, he would just wait at home. Who would really go to the deep mountains and forests to look for someone?
Besides, Shi Zhentang was traveling with the troops, and it was not a private activity.
But what a coincidence, how did Tian Yuzhu meet Qin Xu in the mountains?
In short, all these coincidences are enough to make people think a lot.
Feng Chun felt a little uncomfortable after Huang Xuehua called him a bumpkin.
Although she knew the other party was scolding Tian Yuzhu, she was also from the countryside, but she concealed it well and quickly said, "I've asked around. People in town are very tight-lipped. Later, I got some information through chatting. They said Qin Xu was tracking some foreign enemy spies that day, and because he accidentally shot Shi Zhentang, he even lost his position as mayor."
"Is that true?"
Huang Xuehua fell into thought: "The price Qin Xu paid for entering the mountains this time must be quite high."
"Yes, he worked so hard to get to the position of mayor, but he was demoted just like that. He shot a soldier, which is a serious matter."
"Do you believe he really hit Shi Zhentang accidentally?"
“…”
Feng Chun had never thought about it this way before, and was completely shocked: "Sister-in-law, you mean... Qin Xu did it on purpose..."
"Shh, I didn't say that. I just asked you, do you think this is strange?" Huang Xuehua rolled her eyes.
"This... now that you put it that way, it's a bit strange!"
"Humph, Ah Chun, don't underestimate how strong a man's feelings for a woman can be."
Huang Xuehua looked very profound and only said half of the words, leaving Feng Chun to imagine it himself.
But she still had to leave herself a way out and said, "Remember, this is just a casual chat between the two of us. Don't tell anyone else, otherwise something big will happen."
Feng Chun nodded seriously: "I understand, sister-in-law."
"If we're not mistaken, Qin Xu will make another move. When you're free, pay more attention to the next door and keep a close eye on it."
"Yes, don't worry, sister-in-law."
