Meat?
Lu Zhili froze, and images of big chicken legs and braised pork immediately flashed into his mind, making him drool.
"Fifth Brother, wipe your mouth." An Wan covered her mouth and laughed a few times when she saw his greedy look.
"I want to eat meat, Wanwan. Where can we get meat? Do you want some meat too? Mom left half a bowl of meat for you at noon, but that was for you. Just bear with it a little longer! There will be meat when it gets dark."
He snapped out of his daze and quickly wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth. He couldn't be greedy; that was his sister's boiled pork slices, and he couldn't eat it.
"I don't want to eat meat, but Fifth Brother wants to eat it, Mom and Dad want to eat it, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother want to eat it, and Sixth Brother, do you want to eat it too?"
An Wan subtly guided Lu Zhili to think about eating meat.
"Meat, I want to eat it, Wanwan, but we don't have money to buy meat at home, Wanwan..." Lu Zhili pouted and looked at her aggrievedly.
Apart from eating a few pieces of duck yesterday, he hasn't tasted meat for almost a month.
"Take me outside, and I'll find you some meat to eat."
"Will there be meat to eat outside?" Why can't he find any meat? He used to play outside every day.
"Yes, I promise."
"All right!"
Lu Zhili agreed; he really wanted to eat meat and was almost crying from craving.
Anwan planned to go outside to find small animals to eat. This was the countryside, with mountains and fields, so there were bound to be fish, shrimp, loach, eels, and the like.
Moreover, there are pheasants and rabbits in the mountains, and she is quite adept at dealing with these small animals.
But we have to sneak out after Lu Jiayan takes a nap, while Yunping and the others are out, otherwise they won't agree.
Because he drank the spiritual spring water, his body, which was originally suffering from illness, experienced less pain, and he fell asleep within minutes and slept very soundly.
I probably won't wake up until I've slept for at least two hours.
But she wasn't familiar with the roads, and if Lu Zhili didn't come with her, she would definitely get lost.
Lu Zhili hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
The power of food is immense.
So the two of them secretly went out, each wearing a worn-out straw hat, and carrying a fishing net and a plastic bucket.
Fortunately, it was afternoon, and there weren't many people on the streets. Adults were working in the fields, while children were sleeping soundly in bed.
Lu Zhili, with An Wan in tow, carrying a plastic bucket, fishing rod and net, followed a deserted path, winding through eighteen bends, until they finally arrived at a small river behind Lujia Village.
It grows endlessly, more than a meter deep, and about three or four meters wide.
The current is very strong; standing on it for too long makes your eyes dizzy.
The river water was a bit murky, and various kinds of grass grew on both sides.
"Sister, there are a few fish and shrimp here, but they are hard to catch." Lu Zhili looked at the murky river surface. Could he and she catch any fish and shrimp?
"Don't worry!" An Wan raised her eyebrows and revealed a smug smile.
She took off the tattered straw hat that was obstructing her view, picked up the fishing net, and placed it on the surface of the stream.
The fishing net slowly sank.
She walked slowly along the riverbank, with Lu Zhili following behind her carrying a plastic bucket.
Although her movements were quite standard and graceful, she wasn't sure she could catch any fish or shrimp.
Hopefully, we can catch some fish and shrimp to treat the Lu family tonight.
If you work in the fields all day without eating some meat, your body won't be able to take it.
Lu Zhili dared not move or make a sound, for fear of scaring away the fish and shrimp she had caught.
Fish and shrimp are hard to catch in this river because the current is rapid.
He and his second and third brothers had come here a few times before, but they hadn't come back with much.
Because the fishing net sinks to the bottom, it will scoop up some mud, sand, and debris, along with traces of water flow.
Anwan felt the fishing net was getting heavier and heavier, and she walked slower and slower.
Then she saw water splashing on the surface, and could vaguely see the figures of fish and shrimp.
Fish and shrimp, come quickly into my big net!
Hahaha--
She was overjoyed; she knew she had meat for tonight.
"Oh dear! It's too heavy, I can't lift it, Fifth Brother, come help me!"
After walking another ten steps or so, the fishing net became heavier and heavier. An Wan could hardly lift it and was about to slip out of the net when she quickly called out to Lu Zhili.
