Chapter 35: Stealing Her Rations
“Rustle…”
Jiang Miaomiao opened her eyes.
Then she saw her second brother Jiang Ziyan holding a pen and paper, drawing something.
See her wake up.
The second brother put down his pen and picked up the painting he had just drawn to show Jiang Miaomiao.
"Sister, does it look like you?"
Jiang Miaomiao:.......
What the second brother asked was indeed true. She had never looked in the mirror, so how could she know what she looked like?
My eyes were involuntarily attracted by the baby in the painting.
Although it is a black and white ink painting.
But the baby in the painting is so cute!
A chubby little face, big round eyes with curly eyelashes, a twisted little nose, and a little red mouth smeared with cinnabar.
Is this really her?
My second brother's painting skills are really good. He can draw her vividly at such a young age.
Good looking...good looking...
Jiang Miaomiao waved her little hands and babbled.
"You like it, don't you? I draw one for you every year."
Okay...of course.
There were no cameras in ancient times, so drawing was a good way to record.
You can still take it out and read it when you are old.
Jiang Ziyan took out a wooden box, rolled up the painting, and kept it carefully.
The room gradually warmed up.
The eldest brother came over with some hot goat milk.
Jiang Miaomiao just remembered that she wanted to drink milk. She was hungry and couldn't wait any longer.
Want to eat... Want to eat...
She pouted her little mouth and hummed something.
Waving hands and feet.
If she doesn't get milk in her mouth the next moment, she will cry loudly.
Drinking goat milk when you are hungry is really not as comfortable as sucking mother's breast milk.
Demand is outstripping supply by the spoonful.
There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, the pace was fast and steady.
It’s mother, mother is back.
Jiang Miaomiao feels that her five senses are getting better with the passage of time.
When my eldest brother came back just now, he left the door open, but this time my mother just pushed the door open and walked in.
Looking at her daughter who was grinning at her with white goat's milk hanging from her lips.
Lu Qingyao put down her backpack and went into the house to change her clothes and wash up.
Then he came out and hugged his daughter.
Jiang Miaomiao stared at the small backpack on the ground. One side was covered with some medicinal herbs and the other side had a few bamboo shoots stuck in it.
Faint howling sounds could be heard from beneath the herbs.
The sound is so weak that it is barely perceptible.
My mother would usually hunt some pheasants and rabbits and hide them under the medicinal herbs.
Jiang Miaomiao didn't think much about it, her eyes wandered to the bamboo shoots.
Wow!
Plump, big and fat winter bamboo shoots.
It seems that the brothers can have a better meal tonight.
Although Jiang Miaomiao could only drink milk, she could see from the expressions of her brothers that they were eating more and more and enjoying the food more and more.
My mother's craftsmanship has improved greatly.
I'm looking forward to teething...
"Feng'er Yan'er, mother found a little wolf cub. Take it out and feed it with some goat milk."
Lu Qingyao picked up the baby and kissed him, while giving instructions to her son.
She jogged all the way back, fearing that the little wolf cub would starve to death on the way.
"Wolf cub?"
The two brothers hurried to the backpack.
When I picked up the herbs covering my head, I saw a white mass wriggling.
A little wolf cub whose eyes haven't opened yet.
The whole body is white and soft.
At first glance, it looks like a newborn puppy, with no trace of wolf at all.
Jiang Zifeng picked it up excitedly, "Mom, the little wolf cub is so cute, just as cute as his sister."
Jiang Miaomiao: ...
The older brother is actually quite smart.
But the words he said often, coupled with his physique, always seemed a bit silly.
Lu Qingyao glanced at him.
"How can you praise someone like that? Luckily your sister is too young to understand, otherwise she would definitely get angry with you."
Little Miaomiao waved his fist and rolled his eyes at his older brother.
I'm going to rush you now...
"Mom, I was wrong!"
Jiang Zifeng pursed his lips.
He actually didn't know where he went wrong.
Jiang Ziyan smiled and squeezed a bowl of goat's milk over, and the two of them began to take care of the little wolf.
Jiang Miaomiao was a little unhappy. She felt that her position in the family was precarious.
The wolf also stole her rations.
After feeding the wolf, the second brother put it in the small wooden basin where he had slept before, and then washed his hands and came over.
Mother went to cook.
The eldest brother was chopping the firewood he had carried back.
Jiang Miaomiao fell into her second brother's arms again and fell asleep in his arms.
When I opened my eyes again, I was woken up by a burst of noisy voices.
My aunt is here again.
Holding two pieces of paper in his hand, he said, "Sister-in-law, this is your land deed. I got it back for you."
"And the land deed?"
Lu Qingyao came out with a spatula.
She thought that Jiang Yunze had nothing left in his hometown except this dilapidated house.
There is actually a land deed!
"It's not much. Miaomiao's father mortgaged it to the Liu family before he took the exam. I took it back today." Liu Yu Niang handed her the land deed with a smile.
I pulled a stool and sat down, and then I saw a white mass in the small wooden basin.
A look of contempt.
He reached out and flipped through it, then picked it up and took a look.
"Where did this puppy come from? Its eyes are barely open. Can you keep it alive?"
"It's not a dog, it's a wolf." Jiang Zifeng stared at his aunt warily.
I was afraid that the little wolf cub would be hurt.
"Wolf……"
Liu Yu Niang was startled when she let go of the little wolf's hand.
Then Jiang Miaomiao watched the little wolf cub fall down...
She closed her eyes.
It's so small, it fell down.
It would be painful even if you don't die from the fall.
She remembered that when she was born, she almost fell to her death from a tree.
He left his biological mother as soon as he was born, which is very similar to the wolf cub.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw the little wolf cub in his big brother's hands.
Jiang Miaomiao's heart finally relaxed.
"Aunt, be careful. You will die if you fall like this..." Jiang Zifeng pouted, looking very unhappy.
Liu Yu Niang withdrew her hand in embarrassment.
She didn't mean it.
There is no woman or child in the village who is not afraid of wolves. There was a famine in the village before.
The wolves in the mountains had nothing to eat, so they ran into the village and stole children and chickens when the adults were not paying attention.
During that period, no one dared to go out after dark.
Not to mention raising wolves.
"Sister-in-law, why are you raising this thing, and it's white... I've never heard of a white wolf." Liu Yu Niang watched from a distance and didn't dare to get close.
Even a little wolf cub with its eyes closed could still make her feel scared.
There are some things that we are born to fear, there is nothing we can do about it.
Lu Qingyao smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, wolves are spiritual, just like dogs. They grow up around people and won't hurt people at will."
She was also shocked just now. She hoped that the person she had saved with great difficulty would not fall to death.
Liu Yu Niang smacked her lips and said, "Sister-in-law, you have to think carefully. The wolf cub eats meat. Let's not talk about what it will eat when it grows teeth. Right now, it will take away a lot of Miaomiao's food."
There was no doubt that her brother-in-law must have fed it with goat milk.
Goat milk was a rare commodity in the village, yet she was willing to feed it to the wolves...
People are not even full, and yet they give food to wolves.
After all, she is a lady from a wealthy family and she must have had enough of hard times.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Yes, wolves eat meat.
Lu Qingyao has plenty of milk now, so it’s okay to feed her with goat’s milk for a few days.
You can eat meat...
Jiang Miaomiao opened her little mouth and drooled.
Thinking that the little wolf shared the same fate with her, she let it starve to death.
Some... can't bear it...
