This wild pear tree is too small, with only a few fruits on it. Moreover, the pears are not fully ripe and are small in size. Su Mu picked a few and was eating them with relish. It seems that life in the Su family is not easy. I am afraid that they can't eat anything good all year round.
"Little Wood, come over here and help me pluck the chicken feathers."
Putting the rabbit in his hand away, Lin Mo skillfully bled the two pheasants. It was difficult to handle the pheasants in this desolate mountain area, so he could only roughly pluck the feathers and roast them whole.
Su Mu's eyes lit up and he looked at Lin Mo in surprise. He had been in the mountains for many years and had never caught a pheasant. At most, he had picked some fruits and wild vegetables.
Seeing the eagerness in Su Mu's eyes, Lin Mo began to feel distressed again. This village was really too poor. Ordinary people were reluctant to use a few drops of oil even when cooking, let alone eating meat. Most of them just used an oil wiper to wipe the bottom of the pot. Even salt was used very little. The food they made could only be said to fill the stomach, and it had nothing to do with being delicious.
"Can you hunt?" Su Mu helped Lin Mo hold the chicken, and his rough hands stroked the chicken's feathers one by one. This pheasant was different from the domestic chickens. Its feathers were shiny and smooth, and it was as beautiful as a mountain phoenix.
"Of course I know a lot of things. You'll discover them slowly in the future." Lin Mo smiled dotingly. If he wasn't afraid that Su Mu would be disgusted, he really wanted to stroke his hairy head. "You pluck its feathers first, and then we'll roast a whole chicken. There's nothing in this mountain. I'll make a fire, and we'll make do with it. Let's eat first."
"Can I eat it too?"
Su Mu's eyes widened. Even though Lin Mo had hunted so many prey, he never thought that he would have a share. Hearing Lin Mo say this, it felt a little unreal. He had forgotten when he last ate meat.
"I hunted the pheasant specifically for you. If you don't eat it, who will?"
Hearing this, Su Mu's ears turned red. Although he also wanted to eat meat, this meat was not hunted by him.
And it would be such a waste to eat it like this. Thinking of this, he said, "I won't eat it. Pheasants are more valuable than domestic chickens. You can take them to town and exchange them for some money."
Lin Mo glared at him unhappily and tapped Su Mu's head lightly with the stick in his hand. "Just eat it well when I tell you to. Why think so much? If I can catch one, I can definitely catch another. From now on, just follow me and I guarantee you'll have delicious food and drinks."
Su Mu's face turned red, and she was confused by Lin Mo's action. She could only secretly glance at Lin Mo. Seeing that he had already built a fire, she had no choice but to resign herself to scratching the pheasant's beautiful feathers.
"Pluck both of them." The pheasant looked big, but there weren't many feathers left after plucking it. Besides, Lin Mo didn't plan to clean the internal organs. There wasn't much left for them to eat, so it was better to eat both of them.
Su Mu looked at Lin Mo hesitantly, feeling a little pained. If these two chickens were exchanged for copper coins, they could buy a lot of brown rice, enough to eat for a long time.
"Be obedient." Lin Mo looked at Su Mu with amusement. He looked so cute with his frown on his face that people really wanted to pinch him.
Su Mu nodded, and his hands moved faster. After handing both chickens to Lin Mo, he looked at Lin Mo's deep profile in the smoke with mixed feelings.
Lin Mo stays at home all year round, so his skin is whiter than that of ordinary farmers. Compared with Su Mu, a farmer's son who has been working as a farmer all year round, they are only two shades apart.
Although he had poor food since he was a child, the Lin family's genes were pretty good. In addition, his brothers were somewhat partial to him, and the good things were often left to him. Therefore, he grew taller and became the tallest person in the family.
Lin Mo's appearance is like his grandfather, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, which makes him more handsome than others. With his height and fair skin, he is also a handsome man. It's a pity that he has been bedridden for many years and is so thin that he has lost his appearance. During this period, Lin Mo followed Su Mu up the mountain and his health has improved a lot, and he can even look more handsome.
"What are you daydreaming about? Come here." Lin Mo waved his hand and took out a piece of salt from his arms. This was something he had picked out from home early in the morning. There wasn't much salt left in the salt jar at home, so he didn't want to take too much and only picked out a small piece.
Taking out an old knife from his bosom, Lin Mo peeled off most of the chicken skin, and then carefully rubbed salt on it. This knife was the one he used to peel fruit. It looked quite old, and it would not look strange in this world.
After a while, the aroma of chicken wafted out, and they deliberately walked back a little so as not to worry about any larger wild animals coming out of the mountains.
Lin Mo took a deep breath. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time.
Su Mu did the same thing. His upturned little nose moved and he couldn't help drooling. The last time he ate meat was when someone in the village had a banquet and he had a bite at the table. It had been several years.
"It's almost done." Seeing his greedy look, Lin Mo felt even more sad. He had heard a lot of rumors about Su Mu. It was said that Su Mu never sat at the table to eat at home. Usually, the whole family ate around the table, but he was the only one eating in the corner. Lin Mo felt angry just thinking about it, but this little guy had been living like this for almost twenty years.
Su Yun was also a mean person. She cooked meals every day and left a different one for Su Mu, just to keep him alive. Lin Mo believed Su Mu's words that he had never eaten any meat in the Su family. When he thought about the little man he loved so much being treated like that at home, he became even angrier and wanted to take him away immediately, but he couldn't do that now.
He had to find a way to make money and marry Su Mu home as soon as possible so that he could feel at ease. He had to rebuild the house and buy new food, clothing and daily necessities.
