Chapter 17 Pheasant
There was a sudden strange noise in the silent mountains. This was the most frightening moment.Because you don’t know whether the person making the noise is a human or a ghost.

To be precise, the only things that can make noise in the mountains are living creatures.In other words, this noise must be made by some person or animal.

It is unlikely that there will be people on it, this is a desert island, and there will most likely not be anyone there.Moreover, the noise made by people can be louder than this.

It can only be animals, and small animals at that.

"Ghost~" Jiang Lingling screamed and ran around in fear.

Even though she was so frightened, she didn't throw away the vegetables she was holding, which made Wen Xian not know what to say.

"Don't run, be quiet." Wen Xian pulled the person behind her and looked at the source of the sound warily.

Running around at this time is simply life-threatening.

She did not immediately mount the tree. After all, if it was a big beast, its traces would have been revealed by now.

Jiang Lingling took out two fingers, pulled the corner of her clothes and said tremblingly: "Madam, I'm scared."

Wen Xian raised her hand and patted her arm, and said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, let's move out slowly."

It will be safe once we move to the sparse woods.

At least, Wen Xian never saw any animals running out of the woods in the past two days.

"Yeah," Jiang Lingling nodded fiercely and followed Wen Xian's steps to move out.

However, when he was about to move to the junction, there was another "click".

But this time the sound came from Jiang Lingling's feet.

Jiang Lingling was so frightened that she almost cried, but she didn't dare to move.He could only look at Wen Xian for help, hoping that she could help.

Wen Xian looked down Jiang Lingling's legs and found some suspicious mucus on Jiang Lingling's shoes.

This discovery made Wen Xian smile happily and quickly said, "Don't be afraid, you are stepping on eggs. Let me see if there are any eggs under your feet first."

Wild eggs, whether chicken or bird eggs, can add to their meal.

The most important thing is to give Jiang Jingwan and the child in her belly extra food.

She was still worried about what to use to supplement Jiang Jingwan's nutrition, but here it comes.

It's okay for them to eat seafood and wild vegetables every day.As an adult, you can cope with starving to death.

But pregnant women cannot eat like this. Pregnant women and their children must supplement their nutrition.

Wen Xian carefully dug a piece of clean ground aside and asked Jiang Lingling to move over.Then he dug at the same spot and dug out two wild eggs.

Jiang Lingling said with a guilty look on her face: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't stepped on one, there would have been three."

Three eggs, one for Jiang Jingwan a day, would last three days.

Wen Xian couldn't help but raised her hand and knocked her on the head and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have found these wild eggs. You take the things in your hands back first and ask Lian'er to come over. I have Leave the important things to her."

Jiang Lingling looked embarrassed: "But it's very dangerous here. I don't worry about my wife being here alone."

She had not forgotten that there were unknown animals waiting in the mountains, and she did not dare to let Wen Xian stay here alone.

Wen Xian glanced at the mountain, waved her hands and said indifferently: "Don't worry, if the beast has come already. I suspect that the one who made the sound just now is a pheasant, and it is most likely a pheasant hen.

Go back quickly. Whether you can eat chicken tonight depends on whether you can run fast or not. "

Under her urging, Jiang Lingling reluctantly ran out holding the wild vegetables.But she held two wild eggs in her hand and did not dare to run too fast.

After Jiang Lingling left, Wen Xian drew a circle on the spot with her dagger, and then started digging down bit by bit with the dagger.Wen Xian was not in a hurry, as if she was waiting for something. While digging, she looked deep into the forest.

After a while, there was another "click", followed by two "clacks".

Wen Xian looked happy and quickly got up and ran towards the source of the sound.

Sure enough, there was a wild hen laying eggs in the grass.

Seeing a stranger, the wild hen was frightened, flapped her wings and ran away.

Wen Xian, who had been prepared for a long time, could not let it go. She tried her best to suck the milk and finally caught the wild hen in her hand.

Hens that lay eggs are the easiest to catch. When they know they can't run away, they will squat down to protect the eggs in their stomachs.

But frightened hens tend not to lay eggs, or they lay soft eggs.

No matter what eggs it lays, Wen Xian is definitely going to catch it today anyway.After all, if I let it go this time, I don’t know when it will happen again next time.

After catching the pheasant, Wen Xian didn't stop for much, picked up an egg in the grass and walked out quickly.

When I walked outside to the middle of the woods, I happened to meet Jiang Lingling who was returning from looking for Sheng Lian'er.

"Wow, madam, you are so awesome, you actually caught a pheasant." Jiang Lingling rushed up and circled Wen Xian, her eyes full of stars.

Sheng Lian'er also looked happy and said: "Madam, you called me here to catch pheasants? How many pheasants are there? Do you need to call more people?"

At this moment, all she could see were all kinds of chicken.She prefers poultry to eating small seafood.

For example, this pheasant hen is suitable for making old hen stewed mushrooms.

Wen Xian's mouth twitched slightly and she said helplessly: "You can't eat this. Whether your eldest sister and your children will have food rations in the future will depend on it."

Pregnant women eat boiled eggs, baked eggs, and scrambled eggs, while babies eat egg drop water and steamed eggs.After all, there are eggs, at least they won't starve to death.

Sheng Lian'er looked away with pity on her face and asked hurriedly: "Is there any more in there? I will catch two more and raise the eldest sister and the child until they are white and fat."

Wen Xian shook her head and said: "Let's just come here in the morning and take a look at the situation later. I originally wanted you to come over and help dig a trap to catch the chicken, but I didn't expect it to go so well. I caught it directly.

However, the trap still has to be made.There must be more than just this chicken in the mountains, there are also other hares and so on. If you make traps, you can catch a lot of them. "

She handed the eggs in her hand to Jiang Lingling and led them to the cave quickly, while calling a few people who were climbing trees.

If conditions permit in the afternoon, she will take people to dig traps.

It is always good to find more food and store it. It is not easy to pickle game in summer. You can raise the game you catch first and then kill it and pickle it in autumn and winter.

Fortunately, she still had time to get out the salt first and then stock up on more salt.

Wen Xian and Jiang Lingling went into the mountains and gained a lot in just one morning.This gave others hope that they would not have to worry about starving to death.

Wen Xian tied a piece of cloth around the pheasant's feet and tied it to a wooden stake that had just been nailed in the hole.

This kind of long-term wet nurse has to be placed in a hole to feel at ease.

The three eggs were placed on the ground by Wen Xian for everyone to see.

It happens to be lunch time now, and a new round of cooking is about to begin.

Wen Xian looked at each other and said calmly: "These three eggs are all reserved for Jingwan. Eat two today and the remaining one tomorrow. If there are more eggs in the future, everyone will share them. Not many If so, just leave it to Jingwan, do you have any opinions?"
