Chapter 24: Intercepting
Midnight that day.
There are ten more chickens in Jiang Miaomiao's yard.
The feathers were bitten to pieces, but the chickens were all alive and well.
Lu Qingyao didn't care whose chickens they were and slaughtered all the chickens that night.
He dug a hole in the back mountain and buried the chicken feathers.
Jiang Miaomiao found it unbelievable.
She just babbled a few words in her baby talk and chirping.
I didn't expect it to have such an effect.
She liked her special abilities more and more.
Lu Qingyao's family worked all night and got up late the next day.
When I woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.
Of course, except Jiang Miaomiao.
She was sticking her little butt out to practice lifting her head and wanted to turn over.
Unfortunately, I don’t have enough strength and my body can’t keep up with my brain.
Lu Qingyao touched her little face and gave her a kiss.
She was quite sure now.
This little girl is unusual.
She picked up a little lucky star.
After feeding Jiang Miaomiao, he personally urged his two sons to study and practice martial arts.
Jiang Miaomiao was surprised to find that her brothers' homework today was reversed.
The eldest brother studies and the second brother practices martial arts.
"Mom, can I not study?" Jiang Zifeng held the book with a sad face.
"No." Lu Qingyao poked his book with a long stick. "Mother doesn't ask you to pass the imperial examinations, but you must be knowledgeable and well-mannered, and be familiar with military books."
"Mom, what about me? I'm going to take the imperial examination. Can I not practice martial arts?" Jiang Ziyan, who was doing horse stance, looked at her mother eagerly.
There were beads of sweat on his forehead.
"No, look at your small body. I let you practice martial arts to strengthen your body. Otherwise, how can you protect your sister?"
Jiang Ziyan: ………
She pouted and looked at her mother.
For a moment, he even wondered if he was just like his sister, picked up by his mother.
Jiang Miaomiao was completely sleepless.
Will mother also let her study and practice martial arts?
Studying is fine. Girls don’t have to take imperial examinations anyway, and if you have a basic foundation, you can become a talented woman by just learning a little.
It’s impossible to learn martial arts.
They say this thing has to be taught from a young age...it's very hard.
Just look at the eldest brother and you will know. He gets up earlier than the chicken and sleeps later than the dog.
There were footsteps outside the door.
Before anyone came in, I heard my aunt's voice.
"Sister-in-law, are you home? Why is the door not closed?"
Liu Yu Niang pushed the door open and walked in, looking excited.
"Sister-in-law, let me tell you... The Liu family has gotten their comeuppance. I heard that last night, the yellow-skinned man stole all their chickens, leaving only chicken feathers scattered all over the floor..."
"Oh! There is actually such a thing, it's incredible." Lu Qingyao smiled.
"That's right, this yellow-skinned guy is indeed a great immortal. I guess I have to go and pay my respects to him later."
After gloating, Liu Yu Niang started to worry again.
"Hey! That Landlord Liu is not someone you can easily mess with. Qiao'er's father and I are worried that his plan won't work this time. Who knows what shady tricks he might use behind the scenes?"
"Why don't people like this just die?"
Lu Qingyao patted her shoulder and said, "Sister-in-law, please don't let Qiaojie go out for the time being. Even if you go anywhere, don't let her go alone."
"Well, that's what we thought too. Let her stay at home to take care of her brother and serve her grandmother."
Liu Yu Niang suddenly remembered something.
Pulling Lu Qingyao, he warned, "Sister-in-law, don't go hunting recently..."
"Why?" Lu Qingyao had originally wanted to go up the mountain to hunt pheasants and rabbits.
It would be nice if I could kill a bear or a white fox.
The prey in winter is fat and strong, with bright and shiny fur, and can be exchanged for some silver.
Once spring arrives and the animals shed their fur, their hides become worthless.
Furthermore, animals reproduce and recuperate in spring, so there is no habit of hunting.
If we don’t save some meat now, I’m afraid the children will have nothing to eat next year.
You can't always expect the yellow fox to send chickens to your home.
She felt at ease slaughtering the chickens from Landlord Liu's house, but she felt uneasy slaughtering the chickens from other houses.
If you take it, you have to find another way to return it...
Liu Yu Niang continued, "They've almost finished hunting the game on the Liu family's hill, and now they've set their sights on other places. A while ago, a villager hunted a betrothal goose to marry his son off. Guess what happened?"
Lu Qingyao cooperated very well and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The villagers hadn't even left the mountain when they were intercepted by Landlord Liu, who was hunting. He claimed the wild goose had flown from his hilltop and belonged to him. The villagers, of course, didn't agree, so they were beaten up..."
Lu Qingyao slammed the table and shouted angrily: "How is that different from a robber?"
Liu Yu Niang was startled.
It's quite scary when her sister-in-law gets angry.
"Sister-in-law...you are alone after all, and you don't have a man to support you at home. Don't go up the mountain these days. If you run into Landlord Liu, you will suffer."
"If you want to go pick wild vegetables, call me. Don't go alone. Got it?"
"Got it, thank you sister-in-law for reminding me!"
Lu Qingyao thought about it, carried three uncooked chickens from upstairs, put them in a basket, and covered it with some grass.
He handed it to her and said, "Hide some, don't let anyone find it, and eat it after a few days."
Liu Yu Niang was overjoyed and picked up the basket to leave.
As if he thought of something, he stopped and looked at her in disbelief, "Sister-in-law... could this be..."
She actually wanted to ask her brother's wife if she was a thief.
But I didn't have the courage to ask.
It's never good...
Lu Qingyao pretended to be angry, "What are you thinking, sister-in-law? I got up last night to go to the toilet and saw a group of yellow foxes running towards the back mountain with chickens in their mouths. I just intercepted them."
"So that's how it is..." Liu Yu Niang smiled awkwardly, with a look of envy on her face, "My sister-in-law must be blessed by gods and men. Sheep come to her door automatically, and she can even pick up chickens when she goes to the toilet. Even I enjoy this blessing..."
"But, sister-in-law, have you ever seen the two chickens in my house?"
Lu Qingyao was stunned.
I didn't expect that Liu Yu Niang still remembered it.
She smiled awkwardly, "It's just a coincidence. How can I pick up chickens every day? I would wake up laughing in my dreams..."
Liu Yu Niang also felt that her question was a bit silly.
"Sister-in-law, I'll go back first. Remember, don't go up the mountain these few days."
"Got it!" Lu Qingyao sent her out.
They all regretted being soft-hearted and giving chicken to their sister-in-law.
It almost got exposed.
Jiang Miaomiao waved her little fists, asking for a hug...
Her mother is quite powerful.
When he tells a lie, his eyebrows don't even move.
She was also happy that her mother didn't have to go out early and come back late, and could finally stay at home with her for a few days.
She likes to sleep in her mother's arms, it smells so sweet.
As a result, I woke up early the next morning.
Mother is missing again.
He was nowhere to be seen the whole day and only returned home after dark.
This went on for two days.
She could only drink goat's milk every day.
When I came back, I found it in the backpack, under the herbs and vegetables.
It's either a hare or a pheasant.
There's still mud all over my body...
Her mother really doesn't listen to advice, it really makes me worry...
