Chapter 11 A Lot of Pheasants
The moon and stars are sparse.
Lu Qingyao and Jiang Zifeng went out under the moonlight.
Before Lu Qingyao went out, she fed Jiang Miaomiao a full meal of milk.
The little baby was full and had enough to eat and drink. He was blowing bubbles in his mouth and fell asleep.
Leading her son to the back mountain, she didn't dare go far, for fear that Miaomiao would be hungry if she came back late.
Both mother and son have some skills and are very fast.
In less than an hour, they passed through a dense forest and arrived at a mountain stream.
The sky gradually brightened.
A stream gurgles in the jungle and birds sing happily overhead.
Only then did Lu Qingyao realize that her daughter's red bird had followed them out of the door at some point.
She also saw a strange scene last night.
A little baby.
A bird.
Their eyes met.
The baby chirped and cried to the bird.
The bird chirped back at her.
That scene gave Lu Qingyao an illusion.
Miaomiao is talking to the bird.
Now the bird chirped at her and flew forward.
Lu Qingyao led her son and followed without hesitation.
The red bird flew for a while, then landed on the treetop in front and looked back at them.
“Chirp, chirp…”
I watched them catch up and flew for a while.
Then stop and go, "Chirp, chirp, chirp..."
This cycle repeats itself.
When it reached a canal, it stopped flying and calling.
There is a patch of lush green plants beside the canal.
Lu Qingyao stepped forward in surprise, "Feng'er, hurry up and pick them out. These are all edible."
This red bird is indeed quite spiritual...
"Mom, is this grass edible?" Jiang Zifeng pulled up a plant and looked at it carefully.
Then she saw her mother picking up the grass handful by handful and putting it into her backpack.
The backpack is almost full.
"Smell it." Lu Qingyao took out a plant from the basket and put it in front of his nose.
"It smells good." Jiang Feng likes the smell very much. It has a very unique fragrance.
"That's right, it smells good. This is water celery, which grows mostly in places with water. It's both a medicine and a vegetable. It has the effects of clearing away heat and toxins, and promoting lung function and eliminating dampness..."
"But there's another kind called poison hemlock, which looks very similar to water celery. It's poisonous, smells bad, has hairs on its stems, and has broad leaves..." Lu Qingyao said, putting the water celery back into the basket. "Feng'er, don't get them confused."
"I understand, mother." Jiang Zifeng nodded repeatedly, "That's great, we have green vegetables to eat today."
A smile broke out on the boy's chubby white face.
Although he loves to eat meat, he feels that the meat does not taste good without vegetables.
There is a collection of herbal medicines at home. My grandfather said that it was given to my mother by Doctor Jun in his camp.
Doctor Jun also said that my mother is quite talented.
Want to take her as a disciple.
But my mother didn't mean that, so she had to confess that she had disguised herself as a man to sneak into the military camp. Only then did Doctor Jun give up.
Lu Qingyao couldn't help but pinch her son's chubby face.
"Mom, I'm not a child anymore. Can you please stop pinching my face?" Jiang Zifeng pouted.
My younger brother said that his face is round to begin with and if you pinch it it will become flat.
It will turn into a big face, very ugly...
You won’t be able to get married in the future.
"Oh, you're still angry. Okay, okay, mom won't pinch you anymore." Lu Qingyao put her hands on her hips and laughed.
Her boy has grown up.
"Ouch!" Jiang Zifeng fell hard just after taking two steps out.
The fall startled all the birds in the forest and made them fly away.
Except for the birds.
There are actually big birds.
A big bird with a very long tail, very long...
The neck is still blue, which looks very beautiful.
A chicken sound came out of the big bird's mouth, "Cluck, cluck, cluck..."
From the woods and grass.
One after another they flew up.
It seemed that it was frozen at night. It flapped its wings and flew up with difficulty, flying very slowly.
"It's pheasants, so many pheasants..." Jiang Zifeng was so excited that he almost jumped up, and quickly drew his bow and arrow.
"We have meat again!"
"Wait." Lu Qingyao put her hand on his bow and stopped him, "Feng'er, look at what that is?"
Several sections of twisted feather tails were exposed in the grass.
It looks like there are more than one or two.
I counted, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine...
There are probably more than a dozen.
The mother and son smiled at each other, exchanged secret signals, and surrounded them from both sides.
Tiptoeing towards the bushes.
He aimed at the pheasant's tail and picked it up one in each hand.
After tying ropes around their feet, they were stuffed into the basket.
One after another.
Several were mentioned in succession.
One of them was motionless, and Jiang Zifeng thought it was frozen to death.
Lift it by the tail.
The pheasant suddenly struggled and pulled off its tail feathers...
Ran away...
He took a quick step forward, knocked the chicken down, grabbed its feet, and lifted it upside down.
He grinned at his mother, "Mom, I caught you..."
It was my first time catching a chicken with my bare hands, it was so satisfying...
The male has a long tail and the female has a short tail.
He had to work hard to catch the hen pheasant.
Counted them.
Three hens and six roosters.
It's a very auspicious number.
"Feng'er, let's go back." Lu Qingyao picked up two of them in her hands, put the rest into the backpack, and covered it with some branches and water celery.
After picking up the pile, I walked back...
Actually, I could have caught a few more, but the backpack couldn’t hold them all.
I am also worried about my two children at home.
Now she feels anxious whenever she is away from her child for a while.
Jiang Miaomiao is hungry...
Open your eyes.
I saw a handsome little face.
The second brother Jiang Ziyan stared at her blankly with his chin resting on his hand.
nice!
Seeing that she woke up, the little boy showed some nervousness on his face.
Jiang Miaomiao tilted her head and rolled her eyes. There was no one else in the room.
It seems that mother is not at home.
She was too lazy to hum.
Even if he whimpered, he would not get any milk.
"Miaomiao, be good! Brother will take you out to bask in the sun." Jiang Ziyan carried her to the cradle outside the house.
The cradle that my aunt brought was used by Sister Qiaoer and Brother Xuan.
It's a bit old, but it can still be used.
I tied some shells, snails and small bells.
When the wind blows, "Ding-ling-dang-dang..."
Very pleasant to the ear.
Jiang Miaomiao lay in the arms of her second brother Jiang Ziyan, holding his clothes tightly.
The second brother is a little younger and thinner.
I was so afraid that my second brother would accidentally take her away.
Until he was safely lying in the cradle.
Jiang Miaomiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miaomiao, brother will read to you, you must be good!" The second brother kissed her little face and took out the Three Character Classic.
No, don’t listen, I want to drink milk…
Jiang Miaomiao cried with her mouth pouting.
She just wanted to breastfeed at this moment.
I don't want to listen to my brother chanting...
Jiang Ziyan quickly picked her up and walked towards the door.
My sister usually wants to be fed as soon as she wakes up, but she is crying now, which is already very considerate of me.
Go wait for mother at the door.
If there is no other choice, I can only bite the bullet and go to my uncle's house to ask for goat milk.
Walked around several times.
Then they saw their mother striding towards them with a chicken in one hand and a bow slung over her shoulder.
The backpack is full of green leaves.
The eldest brother followed behind, jogging, his mouth grinning like a flower.
Jiang Miaomiao cried very loudly. It is said that only crying children get milk.
She watched her mother quicken her pace and jog over.
Jiang Miaomiao stretched out her little hand to greet...
Her mother actually passed by her...without hugging her.
So sad!
She burst into tears at the top of her lungs, with great energy.
Lu Qingyao washed her hands, went into the house to change her clothes, and then hurried over to hug her daughter.
Looking at the little baby with a red face and tears in his eyes.
I feel so heartbroken.
When she saw the pheasants flying up one after another, she became greedy.
I almost forgot the time and made my daughter starve.
Jiang Miaomiao ate seriously, closing her eyes and sucking in big mouthfuls.
Suddenly I was startled by the sound of flapping in the backpack.
The backpack fell over.
A few chickens rolled out.
So many...
"Brother, let me tell you, I fell into the chicken coop, and then I caught these pheasants..." Jiang Zifeng proudly recounted his experience of falling.
Jiang Ziyan looked at his brother suspiciously...
