Xu Ning was stunned for a moment, then immediately got out of Jiang Yan's arms. When she looked down, she saw that Jiang Yan's hands and the hem of his clothes were covered with bird droppings.
"These dead birds!" Xu Ning quickly pulled Jiang Yan's hand over and took a look, feeling inexplicably angry.
Without thinking, she took the slingshot and shot at the birds in the sky. Soon, except for a few that escaped, the rest fell to the ground.
Jiang Yan had already found a nearby ditch to clean his hands and clothes. Meeting Xu Ning's apologetic eyes, he comforted him lovingly and gently: "It's not a big deal, it's already clean."
"Jiang Shaoheng, next time something happens, you don't have to protect me."
"Okay, I'll listen to Aning."
No one present believed what Jiang Yan said.
Pei Jiao didn't believe it either, and felt that it was very unpleasant to hear such words coming from his cold cousin's mouth.
"Ningning, are you going to grill all these birds?" Pei Jiao came over and hugged Xu Ning. Xu Ning was too lazy to argue with Jiang Yan anymore, as he wouldn't listen anyway.
"Yes, let's add some other prey. Sister Pei, it's still early, let's go out of the valley and hunt, so that we can have a richer barbecue tonight!"
"Let's go, what are you waiting for?! Ayan, call your people to follow quickly."
As for her and Xu Ning, they ran out of the valley while talking.
"Yes, cousin." Jiang Yan smiled helplessly and ordered some people to follow him with tools, and the rest to pick up the shot birds on the spot and notify other people in the valley.
Qi Canglan and Qi Songbo were also itching to help after receiving the news, but unfortunately they were both injured and could not help at all. They could only contribute more during dinner!
"Sister Pei, hurry up, a rabbit ran into the bush in front of you!"
"Ningning, I shot it!"
"Master, Ningning, I shot one too." Pei Ni cheered.
"Miss, my cousin shot a deer!"
"Wow, Jiang Shaoheng you are so awesome!"
…
Soon the sky gradually darkened, and several grills had been set up in the Xu family's yard.
Xu Daquan was watching over the roasting of the whole lamb, and Xu An also came out of his laboratory and was patiently following Old Man Xu in roasting a bunch of birds.
Xu Ning and other female family members were processing fruits and vegetables, while Xu Feng helped out everywhere and also took a bite of food here and there.
"Second sister, roast two more eggplants, I want some!"
"knew."
"Daya, how does this cucumber taste?"
"Mom, it's delicious, the taste is just right!"
"Ningning, come and try the bird your elder brother roasted, it tastes so delicious!" Pei Jiao tore off the thigh of a bird and stuffed it into Xu Ning's mouth, and she put the rest into her own mouth.
"It's delicious! Sister Pei, you eat it, I'll do it myself later!"
"Aunt Yuan, is the soda ready? Quick, pour me a glass!"
Jiang Yan and the two young masters of Qi were also busy, going wherever help was needed. That night, the master and servants were divided into two camps. Except for the ingredients being prepared and cleaned at the beginning, everyone else grilled and ate it themselves.
This rhythm made them feel very free. That night, the moon was full in the sky and both the guests and the hosts were having a great time.
"Come on, have some more, I'm not drunk yet."
"Yes, yes, Jiaojiao isn't drunk yet. Let's not drink anymore. We'll drink tomorrow."
"Hey, you bastard, let go of my young lady! My wife is drunk again. Let's help her back to her room to rest!"
"Hahaha, Sister Pei is drunk, Sister Pei has become two!"
