Chapter 103 Let those pheasants go



Lin Momo always keeps her word.

After boiling the food, I first picked out the chicken leg that I had promised to reward Benben, and then generously put the chicken head, chicken butt, and chicken neck into Benben's rice bowl as well.

Finally, I scooped up another spoonful of chicken soup with delicious mushrooms.

The owner is so generous and open-minded in his actions.

Not only was Benben unable to find any fault with it, but it was also very grateful, wagging its tail at its owner for a while before starting to eat.

Finally, the dog is eating meat with its new owner. How could it not be happy after experiencing the coldness of human relationships?

After arranging Benben's meal, Lin Momo sprinkled a pinch of salt into the pot, stirred it well, took out a white porcelain soup bowl, and poured herself a bowl as well.

Such delicious food should naturally be eaten with rice.

Fortunately, the rice had been steamed beforehand, so all I had to do was go inside and get a bowl.

Worried that Benben wouldn't have enough to eat, Lin Momo thoughtfully served it a small bowl and let it soak in the chicken soup.

Pheasant soup with rice would surely seduce that silly dog, and she might even keep asking for it later.

Both the man and the dog couldn't stop thinking about the wild game they had eaten.

Lin Momo may have been thinking about it, but with a wide variety of delicious foods stored in her space, she wasn't fixated on that one wild game.

But once the little dog Benben sets his sights on something, he won't give up so easily.

From then on, the pheasants hiding in the weeds began to suffer.

Every now and then, it would be chased by a silly dog, running away with its head in its hands, flapping its wings and flying high, staging a thrilling escape from the dog's mouth.

This added a touch of liveliness to the otherwise quiet valley.

Lin silently taught it a lesson twice before Benben reluctantly let the pheasants go.

It took Lin Momo three whole days to finally tidy up the three main rooms.

Day 1: Sweep away the dust.

The next day, all the curtains, bed curtains, chair covers, table skirts, table covers, and other items in the room, as well as the few remaining decorative objects, were cleaned.

On the third day, she rearranged the room according to her own preferences.

The canopy bed in the east bedroom was indeed exquisitely crafted and pleasing to the eye, but how could Lin Momo sleep in a bed that no one knew who had slept in?

Fortunately, she had a spare wooden bed in her room.

It was very similar to the one in her bedroom on the second floor; both were tatami beds with railings on three sides.

If there are new ones, who would still use the old ones?

She then moved the bed into the west study and placed a modern tatami bed in the east room.

Lin Momo took a closer look and felt that the new bed didn't look out of place among the antique furniture.

I am quite satisfied at the moment.

Then they hung the curtains and other items back up one by one, and replaced the bed curtains with a new one.

It was a seemingly unused, sky-blue curtain that Lin Momo found in the cabinet. As for whether it was the extremely precious soft gauze mentioned by Grandmother Jia in "Dream of the Red Chamber", it was unknown.

It has a light and soft texture, is breathable, and looks like it is made of silk, which is quite pleasing to the eye.

Lin Momo, with her discerning eye, took a liking to her at first glance.

Finally, Lin Momo wandered around for a while, feeling as if something was missing. Her gaze inadvertently fell on the candlestick on the central round table, and a flash of inspiration struck her.

Oh, right!

How could I forget the light?

The next moment, Lin Momo summoned various lamps and then placed them all over the room.

A foldable magnetic LED table lamp can be placed on the headboard, allowing you to read a book or watch a show before bed, and you don't have to get out of bed to turn it off when you fall asleep.

Where should we put a lantern that we can just pick up and carry?

Okay, just stick a hook on the floor cover and hang it up.

She tried the light and found it quite bright at night, so it could definitely be used as the main light in the house. During the day, she could take it down and charge it in the yard, or charge it directly with a power bank.

One is not enough.

Then let's hang another camping light with a warm tungsten filament bulb. The orange light looks warm and is perfect for winter.

On the table, place a portable nightlight with soft light, which can be adjusted in brightness and intensity.

Lin Momo used this product before and liked it quite a bit, but it broke down later. It would automatically adjust the brightness as soon as it was turned on, and she found the flickering light annoying, so she put it away.

This is a new rechargeable touch lamp she bought.

Hopefully it will last a long time.

It doesn't matter if she doesn't use them for long; she has several spare models in her warehouse.

A motion-activated night light is also essential.

Put one on the bedroom door and another under the bed, so you won't have to worry about bumping into something in the dark when entering the room or getting out of bed.

Of course, candles are also essential.

While she had stockpiled a lot of solar-powered and rechargeable lamps, Lin Momo also made sure to stockpile candles to adapt to the ancient environment.

There are scented and eco-friendly smokeless candles, as well as old-fashioned red and white candles, in various sizes.

After all, there's nothing to worry about when using candles.

As for the electric light that would definitely cause a sensation, it could only be used as an emergency measure, or for her to use in private.

For example, now when I live alone deep in the mountains.

Living alone in such a big house, Lin Momo was still a little scared at night, so she made sure to make the house brighter.

It can also give you courage.

Oh, right!

She also needs to make arrangements in the courtyard, otherwise she won't dare to stay there after dark.

As night falls in the deep mountains, all is already silent, eerily so.

This little valley is even more secluded than other places. During the day, apart from a few pheasants in the grass, you can hardly see any birds. At night, it becomes even more eerily quiet.

Every night, the sound of the mountain wind, howling and roaring, sends chills down my spine.

The warm light from the lamp provided some comfort to Yu Lin.

Then let's install a warm-colored wall lamp outside the door; it can be used as a lantern.

In addition, small pendant lights with a retro feel should be placed at the gate, fence, spring, and pavilion.

When buying camping equipment, Lin Momo ordered a lot of waterproof and shockproof solar lights.

This has finally come in very handy.

In addition, a courtyard that is too quiet is not good; it should make some noise.

Why not hang wind chimes on the eaves, the gate, and the pavilion? That way, when the mountain breeze blows, you can hear the tinkling sound of the chimes.

It would also help to alleviate the monotony of the wind's sound.

After tidying up her future bedroom, Lin Momo went to the study and started tinkering around.

She took all the stationery she had bought out of her spatial storage, and after some picking and choosing, they all appeared on the large, long desk under the window.

Since the desk was large enough, two different writing implements were placed on it.

At one end is a plain-colored notebook, A4 paper, and a bamboo pen holder containing various pens.

On the other end are writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones—essential items in an ancient study.

The once empty bookshelves are now filled with novels, poems, medical books, tailoring books, cookbooks, medicinal herb processing books, agricultural books, and animal and plant illustrations collected by Lin Momo.
