At the beginning of the mass grave, I took the villain to open up wasteland and farm

Chapter 20 Spring Rain
After returning home, Chang Ning happily counted the spoils, while Han Mingyuan went back to the room and lay down on the plank bed without saying a word.

He had almost exhausted his physical strength during the trek all the way. If he hadn't been determined, he might have fallen down halfway.

Sure enough, it's still too brave.

Han Mingyuan showed a wry smile, but the wound on his chest was touched, and the pain caused him to grin his teeth again.

He forced himself to calm down, and then felt a surge of exhaustion.

"Han Ming..."

Chang Ning, who broke into the room, immediately fell silent when he saw Han Mingyuan on the bed with his eyes closed.

She walked to the bed and stood still, Han Mingyuan's breathing was still steady, showing no signs of waking up.

Obviously in the past, whenever she approached, Han Mingyuan would be awakened immediately.

Looking at his pale and bloodless face, Chang Ning suddenly gave up the idea of ​​selling the four rabbits in the city.

It's better to change something nutritious for him to replenish his body!This kind of hang-up has to be taken care of.

Chang Ning withdrew, closed the door by the way, carried the basket of rabbits on his back, and wandered around the village.

She went to Zhang Feng's house first. Zhang Feng was drying quilts in the yard, while Wang Lihua was teasing the dog.

As soon as she approached, Wang Xiaohua barked towards the gate of the courtyard.

"Good dog, it's me, don't bark!"

Chang Ning's humbleness did not make Wang Xiaohua understand, until Zhang Feng scolded, Wang Xiaohua shut up.

"It turned out to be Xiao Ning, what's the matter, is there anything you can do with your aunt?"

Chang Ning said softly: "That's it. My brother and I went up the mountain to hunt some rabbits. I want to exchange some things to nourish my brother's body. I saw that your family has raised a few chickens. I want to ask the aunt if there are any replacements." intention?"

As Chang Ning spoke, he opened the back basket and brought out two hares.

Zhang Feng looked startled, "Your brother is so good at hunting, he managed to hunt so many hares!"

Zhang Feng's tone of praise could not be concealed, "It's simply better than Li Gui, how did your brother do it?"

Chang Ning smiled helplessly, "My brother used to know a little bit of kung fu."

Obviously she also contributes to beating the rabbit, so why does it sound like Han Mingyuan's credit?
Forget it, he is the biggest wounded.

Zhang Feng nodded in satisfaction, and said in a low voice, "So you know kung fu..."

Seeing that Zhang Feng was pulling away, Chang Ning asked again: "Aunt Zhang, do you want to change?"

"Change, change!"

Zhang Feng immediately turned around and went to the chicken coop to grab a big rooster, and without saying a word, he tied the chicken's feet firmly with straw and handed it to Wang Lihua.

"Girl, take sister Xiaoning home for you."

"Oh!"

Wang Lihua patted the mud on her hands, took the rooster from Zhang Feng, then turned to Chang Ning with a smile and said, "Sister Xiao Ning, I will carry it for you."

"Thank you, Sister Pear Blossom."

Frontier game is very popular. Wild rabbits are sold at a higher price than domestic rabbits. They can be sold for twenty cents a catty, while domestic chickens are only eleven cents a catty.

But the rooster is heavier than the rabbit, so Chang Ning gave Zhang Feng two rabbits.

Zhang Feng felt a little sorry for taking advantage of Chang Ning, so he gave her another four or five eggs.

Chang Ning did not refuse, and accepted them all.

Then Chang Ning went to Cheng Erqing's house led by Wang Lihua.

Cheng Erqing likes to eat game, so he also very honestly replaced her with a piece of bacon that was smoked years ago.

The last rabbit was left, and Chang Ning took it to the village chief's house to exchange for ten catties of rice, and the extra part was used to pay for Han Mingyuan's medicine. After all, Cao Nianshun bought him two medicines back then.

After changing things, Chang Ning was ready to go home. Wang Lihua followed step by step with the chicken in her arms. Seeing that she was a little weak, Chang Ning wanted to take the chicken.

"Sister Lihua, thank you for leading me the way, why don't you give me the chicken, and I'll take it back myself!"

Wang Lihua raised her head and asked innocently: "Then sister Xiaoning can handle it?"

"It's not far from my home, and I have great strength, so it's no problem."

Wang Lihua hesitated for a moment, thought about her limp and sore wrist, and decisively handed the chicken to Chang Ning.

"Then sister Xiaoning, don't tell my mother, or she will scold me again when she knows I've given up halfway!"

"I promise not to tell."

"Uh-huh."

Chang Ning waved his hand and bid farewell to Wang Lihua. After returning home, he put away the rice and bacon, and then boiled a pot of water.

She cut the rooster's neck with a knife, and then put the blood of the rooster in a bowl. After the bleeding stopped, it would basically not move.

Chang Ning saw the rooster's shiny coat, so he pulled out a few clean ones and saved them to make a shuttlecock.

Next, place the whole chicken in boiling water for a few minutes.

When I took it out again, I squeezed it lightly, and the chicken feathers fell down in handfuls.

Raindrops fell on Chang Ning's face just halfway through the pull, but after a while, the raindrops gradually became denser and fell in a patter.

Chang Ning hurriedly carried the chicken into the eaves, sat on the threshold and continued to pluck the feathers, but the stove on the courtyard dam was completely wet by the rain.

This stove was built by Cheng Erqing when he rescued Mingyuan from the cold, but because it was in the open air, once it rained, there was no way to start a fire for cooking.

Although spring rain is as expensive as oil, Chang Ning still feels a little in a bad mood.

When Han Mingyuan woke up, he saw Chang Ning holding a naked chicken in his arms, staring blankly at the clay stove outside the hut.

Her pink lips were pursed lightly, her expression revealing a sense of sourness and grievance.

Han Mingyuan's heart suddenly felt congested, as if it was more uncomfortable than a wound attack.

And the burning pain on his back seemed to be insignificant at this moment.

He walked over slowly, sat down beside Chang Ning, then took the bald chicken from her hand, and silently plucked out the remaining feathers.

Chang Ning was stunned for a moment, then asked softly, "Have you rested yet?"

"Well, it's alright."

"Oh!"

Chang Ning hugged his legs, put his chin on his knees, and looked at the raindrops falling outside the house.

Behind the rain curtain, under the eaves, the two sat side by side. The originally lonely scene, because of the appearance of Han Mingyuan, was filled with indescribable warmth and tranquility.

The rain didn't last long, but it also wet the ground and put out the stove fire.

Chang Ning went to the ground to dig a few pieces of yellow mud and came back to build back the somewhat collapsed stove.

Then the fire was rekindled, but because the stove was wet, the black smoke was billowing like beacon smoke, which made Chang Ning burst into tears.

After finally drying the stove, the fire went smoothly.

It's just that the time delay is too long, and I'm afraid I won't be able to eat the stewed chicken soup for a while.

Originally, they didn't have a meal at noon, Chang Ning was worried that Han Mingyuan wouldn't be hungry for so long, so he scrambled a plate of eggs first, and cut a few slices of bacon to cope with the meal.

I plan to start cooking chicken soup after dinner.

After the chicken soup was cooked, it was just in time for Han Mingyuan to drink two big bowls of nourishing food before going to bed.

When I wake up tomorrow, I will be full of energy and make up for the energy lost today.
