Chapter 144 A Wild Bird in the Ice Cellar

On the road, birds fell from the sky from time to time. When they saw the snowy peak ahead that was hard to fly, the birds got confused and collided with each other in the sky and fell straight down.

"Oh my god, it's all wild ducks." Xiao Yan was very excited, "there are a lot of wild ducks like this in the wetland over there in Dingxi. The taste is fresher than domestic ducks, but it's delicious."

"The price is not cheap." Xiao Han answered excitedly, "The wetlands are full of bottomless swamps, which are hard to catch. I didn't expect so many to come."

Just as he was talking, a wild duck fell from the sky and fell headfirst into the snow, unable to fly again.

It looks very similar to a domestic duck, with a shorter neck than a domestic duck, and the green hair on the duck's head is shiny.

Before I could see it clearly, Xue Ruyun dragged the sled and flew over, a hungry tiger grabbed the wild duck's neck, and then twisted her hands, and with a click, the duck's neck was broken by her, and the wild duck didn't even have time to call There was a rattle.

"Hey, doesn't it look a little cruel?"
Seeing everyone standing there in a daze, Xue Ruyun turned her head and smiled, and swiftly threw the wild duck into the basket on the sled.

I didn't forget to give myself a reasonable explanation for my seemingly brutal behavior.

"The faster the speed, the less pain they feel, and that's the only thing we can do for them."

"After all, if they don't die in our hands, they will freeze to death, starve to death or be eaten by other wild beasts. There is always a dead end. It is better to let them die happily."

Everyone seemed to be quite reasonable when they heard it, and they followed suit one after another, and started to arrest him.

There are not many outside the forest, but after entering the forest, it is shocking, there are wild mallards flopping all over the ground.

When they flew over in groups, many of them hit the snow on the top of the tree, knocked unconscious, and fell to the ground.

Those who didn't faint couldn't stand on the snow on the top of the tree, they all slid down, and ran around in the forest, croaking and croaking.

But it's not easy to catch, they are everywhere, but when you pounce on them, they flap their wings and fly away.

"Xiaoxue, take this." Xue Ruyun dragged a few bamboo branches, the kind with brooms, and demonstrated with experience, "If you smoke like this, they won't be able to fly." While speaking, She whipped it around a few times, and as expected, she fainted four or five of them, so she just went to pick them up.

Xiao Ningxue and the others were busy imitating her, and raised the bamboo sticks to beat them.

The migratory birds migrating south this season are not only wild ducks, but also snow geese and swans, flying from the north one after another.

After arriving here, because they couldn't fly over the snowy peaks of Qiganling, they crashed into the forest one after another.

In just one morning, Xiao Ningxue and the others had filled up all the baskets and baskets they had brought, and then put them on the sled and dragged them back to the village.

After a delicious meal of wild duck soup at noon, they continued to drag the sled into Qiganling with baskets in their hands.

Picking up was another afternoon, and it was not until it was getting dark that everyone returned with a full load.

So this night, lights were brightly lit everywhere, and every household set up a large iron pot in the courtyard to boil water and pull the feathers of birds.

On this day, some of them caught four to five hundred catties, and some of them caught two or three hundred catties. They had to clean up these delicacies overnight and dig a hole in the ice to freeze them.

Xiao Ningxue and the others were also very busy in the courtyard.

Boiling water was boiling on the newly built stove, and a raging fire was burning underneath. Xiao Yan picked up a wild duck, rolled it in the pot, and threw it on the snow beside it, it was steaming.

Xiao Ningxue, Sai Dongshi and Xiao Yue were in charge of plucking the feathers. When they dragged one over, the fur was plucked out. It was easier to clean than a domestic duck, without fine hairs.

Beside them, there were three felt boards slipping past. Dong Shi led Xiao Ruohan and Xiao Ruolian to dissect the duck and take out the internal organs, each of them was playing fast with the kitchen knife in their hands.

After such a few processes, the big basin is full of white ducks.

At this moment, Xiao Han said 'hey', picked up the basin, and carried it into the backyard.

An ice cellar several feet square was dug in the backyard. Xiao Yu squatted in the ice cellar and stacked the white ducks one by one.

Xiao Wenzhao also came out to watch the excitement, with a pot of fire in front of him, sitting in the courtyard watching everyone busy, laughing so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Migratory birds migrating south will continue for half a month. During this half month, we can add a lot of food to everyone."

"That's right, this is a gift from God. It's for everyone to survive the famine." Mrs. Dong swung her knife and turned around to answer the conversation. It was Lian Jiazi at first glance.

Xiao Wenzhao nodded, but he was still a little worried.

"It's only the beginning of October, and there are still several months until next spring. I'm afraid these things alone won't be enough to survive this winter."

Especially with so many people added to the family, the stockpiled food must not be enough.

Dong's optimist, with a smile on his face, said: "You rely on mountains to eat mountains and rely on water to drink water. This place is not only on Qiganling, but also on Luohe River. Can you still get stuttering?"

"That's true." Xiao Wenzhao heard Dong's words, and his smile spread.

As Xiao Wenzhao said, in the next ten days, a large number of migratory birds will fly here every day.Those who are small in size and light in weight can also dial up the altitude in time and fly over the past.

But those heavy wild birds can't do it. Almost all of them fell off in Qiganling.

Everyone's daily job is to pick up and clean up the birds. They can only sleep for one or two hours a day, and they are almost crazy busy.But no one is too tired, and the smile on his face can't be hidden.

Worrying about lack of food for the winter, God favors this place, you can pick up delicious food directly on the ground, who dares to feel tired?
So in the following days, everyone went to the mountains to pick up birds during the day, and picked up the birds at home at night.

Every household has made an ice cellar, and put the cleaned bird yards in it to freeze.

Xiao Ningxue also cured a lot, pickled it with cooking wine, spices and salt, hung it in the stove to dry, and fried it after drying, I don't know how delicious it is.

After half a month, these migratory birds gradually decreased, and at this time, every household had a freezer of wild birds.

Many people also chose to sell in the market. The rich people from the merchant village and those who bought in the military camp would come to visit from time to time.

During this period of time, apart from being busy, nothing else happened, and the barracks was quiet.

Perhaps because he realized that the matter of smoking drugs would be difficult to secure if it was spread to the capital, Le Sishu restrained himself a lot and never came to Xueyue Tower again.

Of course, the premise is that Peony must have sent someone to give him Fushou cream, and he is addicted to smoking this and has no interest in doing anything else.

Peony's target is the King of the Night. Right now, she doesn't know if she has found the King of the Night. If she finds it, she might use drugs to control him. This is what Xiao Ningxue is most worried about.

Counting the time, Xiao Shan and the others have been away for a whole month, and they should be back in these two days, and everyone can't sit still.

Early this morning, under Xiao Wenzhao's suggestion, dozens of people were organized in the village to pick them up.

Xiao Zhenwang was worried that the road diverged and he would not be able to touch it, but Wang Yonggui was full of confidence with a pipe in his mouth.

"Is there anything I can't meet? I took the river when I went there. Can I change the route when I come back? Just take the river to pick it up, and I will definitely meet it."

So Xiao Ningxue, Xue Ruyun, Xiao Yan, Xiao Han and others dragged the sled and simply brought some supplies, and went to pick them up.
