Chapter 34 White Wolf
In the mountains.
The stream is gurgling.
The birds chirped.
Lu Qingyao and a few others walked all the way, but they didn't see any pheasants or rabbits.
It seems that Liu Fugui was too greedy and really killed all the prey in the nearby mountains.
What a sin.
Fortunately, I had hidden some meat before, otherwise I would have to buy everything with money.
Where does so much money come from?
After walking out for about an hour, Liu Yu Niang called her, "Sister-in-law, let's find firewood here. It's too far to carry back."
Lu Qingyao nodded.
Looking at the Li brothers, he was out of breath and sat down on the ground.
She frowned.
Liu Yuniang sighed and shook her head repeatedly, pointing at the two brothers, "Look at you two, you grew up in the mountains. You can't even compare to Brother Renfeng, who is even a few years younger than you."
Li Erlang felt a little ashamed, because they also went up the mountain to find firewood and dig wild vegetables on weekdays.
How could he not even be as good as a fat guy from the city?
I really can't understand it.
Li Sanlang looked unconvinced.
He insisted on asking Jiang Zifeng to have a match the next day.
Lu Qingyao and her son looked at each other and said nothing.
Both mother and daughter practice martial arts, so this short distance is nothing to them.
Maybe he was walking too fast just now, and those two brothers were so spoiled that he was out of breath like that.
Lu Qingyao watched a few people looking for firewood and decided to go further away to have a look.
"Sister-in-law, after you find some firewood, take the children back first. I want to go take a look in the woods."
Liu Yu Niang looked into the deep forest. The tall trees blocked out the sun and it was bottomless.
She had seen Lu Qingyao's abilities, but she was a woman after all, so it was still too dangerous.
"Sister-in-law, have you forgotten that Liu Fugui died in there? And there must be wild beasts in there... It's too dangerous..."
Lu Qingyao smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, they can't hurt me."
She knew better than anyone how Liu Fugui was injured.
She dares to come in the middle of the night, so there is nothing to be afraid of in broad daylight.
Liu Yu Niang couldn't persuade her and had to agree with her.
She now regards her brother-in-law's words as if they were imperial decrees, and they are more effective than what her husband says.
Especially when Mrs. Liu wanted to plot against them, she was outmaneuvered by her brother-in-law and helped everyone get the fertile land back.
She admired Lu Qingyao even more.
After finding some firewood, he took the boys down the mountain.
Lu Qingyao watched them walk a long way away before picking up the axe, carrying the bamboo basket and going into the mountains.
Of course, there was not only her, Danque was also following.
Danque had been calling out to her non-stop before, and Lu Qingyao was worried that others would notice something was wrong.
Is there something in this forest?
Danque led the way in front.
She followed behind.
Gradually going deeper and deeper.
The grass grew taller and taller, not even reaching the knees.
But I could still vaguely see a white, furry ball in the grass in front.
The red bird perched on the treetop and looked down.
Lu Qingyao threw a stone over, but saw no response.
Then he tiptoed closer...
I was stunned for a moment.
The wolf... turned out to be a white wolf...
According to legend, the White Wolf only appears when the king is benevolent and wise.
It is an auspicious sign.
Lu Qingyao pulled it out with an axe.
Dead...
Auspiciousness of death.
I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse?
He turned the white wolf over again, and saw blood all over its stomach and legs.
It turned out that he had fallen into a hunter's trap and died from excessive bleeding.
Lu Qingyao curled her lips. The legend was not credible!
Xiangrui could actually die at the hands of a human, that's too fragile.
Touched it.
It was still warm, so it looked like he had died not long ago.
The white wolf's fur is snow-white and smooth, so it should be able to sell for a good price.
Turn the white wolf's belly open...
It’s actually...it’s actually a female wolf.
The female wolf had just given birth, and she hadn't even had time to bite off her umbilical cord...
The little wolf squirmed in her arms.
Lu Qingyao's body trembled slightly. The mother wolf persisted all the way until the cubs were born.
Only then did he die.
She took out a dagger and cut the umbilical cord, put the wolf cub into a backpack, and put some fine grass under it.
Looking at the female wolf, he no longer had any thoughts of skinning her.
Wolves are all spiritual. She raised a little wolf, but skinned the little wolf's mother. What kind of thing is that?
But if you stay here, you will eventually be skinned alive by the nearby villagers.
Think it over again and again.
Lu Qingyao dug a hole and buried the mother wolf.
The sun is still high.
She picked up the backpack and walked a little further inside.
The red bird stopped and circled in the sky.
Lu Qingyao's heart rose to her throat again.
Danque always gave her surprises, such as the water celery, the pheasant's nest, and the two fighting wild boars...
This time it was the White Wolf again.
I don’t know what good things will be waiting for her next.
Quicken your pace and move forward.
The view ahead suddenly opened up...a cliff...
A not-too-high cliff.
Is this the surprise Danque gave her?
Or is the surprise hidden in the bamboo forest below?
There is a large bamboo forest with no end in sight.
Lu Qingyao hesitated for a moment, pulled a vine and climbed down.
Searched around.
Apart from the birds flying above the bamboo forest, there are only the bird feathers under our feet.
The rest were not even a ghost.
But the Danque still didn't leave and circled above her head.
She simply found a place and sat down.
"Ouch!"
There was something blocking my butt.
Pull aside the bamboo leaves.
Bamboo shoots...a newly emerged winter bamboo shoot...
Lu Qingyao patted her head and smiled foolishly for a while.
"Golden clothes and white jade, a unique vegetable."
This is what we are talking about: winter bamboo shoots.
Winter bamboo shoots are dug out before they emerge from the ground, so they are extremely fresh and tender.
Compared with spring bamboo shoots, harvesting winter bamboo shoots requires more specific methods and is more difficult.
Therefore, the price of winter bamboo shoots is relatively expensive.
Lu Qingyao recalled that perhaps because she grew up in Taoxi Village, her mother-in-law and husband loved eating winter bamboo shoots.
I especially like to eat pickled pork with preserved vegetables.
In the past in the capital, the Jiang family would buy a lot of winter bamboo shoots every winter.
She remembered that winter bamboo shoots were very expensive, and the mansion had to spend a large sum of money to buy them every year.
But what worried her was that the winter bamboo shoots were hidden underground and not many of them broke through the soil.
Although she was able to find the land, she didn't have the ability to dig out the winter bamboo shoots.
After great effort, Lu Qingyao finally dug out a few with an axe and took them back.
Let the kids try it.
......
The sun sets in the west and the tired birds return to the forest.
Jiang Miaomiao was taken home by her brothers.
After carrying him all the way, he continued to sleep soundly in the cradle, showing no sign of waking up.
He was snoring and blowing bubbles in his mouth.
Jiang Zifeng went to light the charcoal fire.
Jiang Ziyan rested his chin on his hand and watched over his sister.
The finger marks on my sister's face have all disappeared, and she has a pretty little face again.
The pink little mouth and long curly eyelashes change every day and become more and more beautiful.
Thinking of my deceased sister.
She looked like a skinny little monkey when she was born, and her father never looked at her properly until his death.
Now that I think about it, I have actually forgotten what she looks like.
Maybe, she looks like Miaomiao.
It's so beautiful too...
Jiang Ziyan felt very uncomfortable and sour in his heart.
