Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 3 Practice and Confirmation
  There was a bird she couldn't name resting on a branch not far ahead. It was you. Hong Xiaoduo threw the stone in his hand towards the bird.

Hong Xiaoduo was just thinking that he could only frighten the bird away when he heard the bird chirp and fall off the branch.

I go? Did it really hit?
  Hong Xiaoduo scratched his head in disbelief, raised his legs and walked over there.

Looking at the bird she killed under the tree, she was still a little unsure. Did she really kill it by herself?
  The first time might have been a coincidence, but the second time it hit the target, it was probably no coincidence.

Does that mean that you can try to hunt hares or something, and you and the children will have something to eat, and it will be meat and authentic game.

Suppressing his inner excitement, Hong Xiaoduo straightened up and walked deeper into the forest. After walking a few steps, he stopped and looked back at the dead bird: "In case you can't catch any other game later. What? Although this bird is smaller, it's still better than nothing." He muttered and turned around, picked up the bird, and saw thin vines at his feet. He broke off a section of the bird's legs and tied it up, carrying it and continuing to walk.

It has been almost a day and a night since yesterday. Therefore, the beautiful fantasy that she would be able to return to modern times after the ninety-minute experience trip has been shattered. She has no idea what the current plot is about. , so she has no idea how it will end and when it will end.

Anyway, with this identity setting, it's good to have a little effort. At least like now, I can survive hunting game in the wild without going hungry.

Calm down, the more urgent you are to find answers and understand the truth, it will only make you more anxious. In that case, apart from making your mood worse, there will be no benefit at all.

So, for now, think of ways to fill your stomach before thinking about anything else. People come up with solutions, so there is nothing that cannot be solved.

Thinking like this, and having just verified the skill of hitting wherever you point, it should be possible to replace it with darts, flying knives, etc. It can be regarded as a hidden weapon skill in martial arts novels. Hong Xiaoduo felt a little better. some.

Hong Xiaoduo had just walked a short distance when she saw a pheasant emerging from the bushes. Without saying a word, she excitedly threw the pebbles she had just picked up over it.

This pheasant is dozens of times bigger than the previous bird, so it should be easier to win, right?

As soon as this idea came up, the pheasant was hit by a stone and fell to the ground.

"I hit it, I really hit it." Hong Xiaoduo was so happy that he trotted over and looked at the pheasant that was still flapping on the ground. He couldn't restrain his excitement and picked it up, tied it with the previous bird, and picked it up again. The vines suddenly became heavy.

If you add one or two of this size, it should be enough for them to have a full meal for the whole family.

After hunting another hare and pheasant, Hong Xiaoduo had forgotten his previous plan to have enough to eat, and he couldn't hold back his interest in hunting.

In the end, I caught too much prey, and it was hard to carry it with both hands. Then I reluctantly looked deeper into the forest and walked back.

Just as they were about to emerge from the forest, there was a faint sound of crying in their ears. To be precise, it was the cry of children, and it was not just one or two children, it was the kind of chorus group.

Upon hearing the cry, Hong Xiaoduo's scalp immediately began to tingle. Although she had no memory of the past, she was sure that she didn't like hearing her child cry.

what happened? Could it be that the man is chasing you?

Hong Xiaoduo was very worried, so she sped up and ran out. Because she was so anxious, she didn't notice that her hands were now full of prey, weighing hundreds of kilograms in total, but she didn't feel it at all. To the point of strenuous.

Moreover, her feet had almost left the ground, and it looked like she was flying forward on the grass tips.

She began to regret that she had left them on the road even though she knew that the man who abused them would probably come after them. She should have hidden them before entering the woods.

After leaving the forest, I saw children not far away at a glance. Some were standing and sitting, some were crying with their heads raised, some were crying with their heads down, and some were hugging each other and crying.

one two three four five six seven? Hong Xiaoduo counted the number of people from a distance. There was no more or less, and he didn't see the figure of the bad man. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down his pace. Hey, how come it hurts your feet when you slow down?
  "Look, it's mom. Mom didn't abandon us." The oldest boy was facing the forest from beginning to end, so he saw her first, and told the other companions loudly and in surprise.

The group's crying stopped, and everyone turned to look over there.

Then, someone ran towards Hong Xiaoduo first, followed by other children.

"Don't run, don't fall, be careful... Oh my God." Hong Xiaoduo shouted while watching some children fall down, frowning and speeding up to meet them.

"Mom, did you catch so many?"

"Mom, are you the one who hit me all this?"

"Mom, you are so amazing."

"Can these be sold for a lot of money?"

Amidst the chirping sounds, Hong Xiaoduo, like a mother chicken, returned to the roadside with a group of chicks.

The children were very excited to watch the prey. If it weren't for the tears and runny noses on their faces, it would be as if the heart-wrenching cries just now were not theirs.

The eldest child always focused on Hong Xiaoduo's face. Seeing her frowning at the faces of her friends, he quickly pulled out a piece of cloth and wiped it with them.

"Mom, I thought you didn't want us anymore, that's why you were crying." The boy explained carefully while wiping the faces of his friends.

Hong Xiaoduo sat on the throne that the children had made for her with leaves: "Why, do I look like a liar?"

"No." Several children responded in unison.

"Forget it, forget it, the game is here, let's make a fire to roast it and eat it." Hong Xiaoduo didn't want to emphasize the promise again. What she was worried about now was how to pack the game. She didn't seem to know how.

Also, when she touched her body, there was no fire like those in costume TV dramas or ancient novels. How to start this fire?

However, just when she was feeling worried, the children nearby suddenly dispersed and picked up dry branches and piled them together. Soon there was a big pile.

And the oldest boy skillfully pulled out a few handfuls of hay and stuffed them under dry branches, and then took out something from a tattered cloth bag around his waist.

Huozhezi? This child actually has one? Hong Xiaoduo didn't feel happy, but rather sad when he thought about the actions of these children when he talked about lighting a fire, and the boy's skillful movements in lighting a fire.

"Mom, which one do you want to bake? I'll go and clean it up." The boy who had lit the fire turned to ask her.

"You can do this too?" Hong Xiaoduo couldn't believe it.

The boy smiled and nodded: "Yes, I can do a lot of things, and I can also cook."

"Mom, I can do laundry."

"Mom, I can do it, I can do it too."

"We can all do things." The other children rushed to say.

Their expressions clearly told Hong Xiaoduo that they were not burdensome and knew how to work.

"You guys are so awesome." Hong Xiaoduo felt a little uncomfortable.

She doesn't seem to know how to cook or pack game. It seems like she can only eat.

She looked around at the children and made a rough estimate of how many kinds of game they would need to roast to make enough food. Then I felt like I couldn't estimate the correct amount, because I had no experience.

So, let me pick up three hares and five pheasants first.

She got a hare for two people and a pheasant for each person. If there was more than she could eat, it would be fine. She could have leftovers for dinner in the evening.

"Mom, can you eat so much?" the boy asked in confusion.

Hong Xiaoduo was startled for a moment: "I'm not eating it alone. Is it enough for the eight of us?"

"Ah, are we also responsible?" A child asked in disbelief.

"Of course, what else? Don't you want to eat?" Hong Xiaoduo asked.

One child blurted out: "Of course we chewed the bones."

Hong Xiaoduo's face suddenly darkened. No wonder they were all so sallow and thin. It was caused by hunger and not having enough to eat for a long time.

"Everyone eats meat today, not bones." Her tone was very bad.

"Mom, we can also chew the bones. The bones are delicious." The older boy felt her annoyance and said quickly.

"How can you be full if you don't eat meat and just gnaw bones? How can you have the strength to continue on the road if you don't eat enough?" She wanted to say, if you don't have the strength to walk fast and far, aren't you afraid of being overtaken by that bad man?
  But when I thought about it, it was better not to scare them.

When the children heard her say that everyone can eat meat without chewing the bones, they stared at her in disbelief, thinking they heard her wrong.

The boy came to his senses and pointed to a nearby waterhole where he could clean the prey.

Hong Xiaoduo wanted to go along, although she didn't know how to do it, and she couldn't really let these children do it all.

Several children resolutely refused to let her go. They also said that they had done it frequently and were very skilled. They also made sure that the collected prey was clean in a serious manner. No hair will stick to it, and the gall will not break and the flesh will become bitter.

Seeing them carrying the prey and taking a few steps out, Hong Xiaoduo remembered and asked, "Do you need a knife? Otherwise, use this, but be careful not to hurt yourself?" she said. Prepare to draw the sword from your waist.

"Mom, don't worry, you don't need a knife or that. You'll be fine soon." The boy said with a smile and called his friends to walk towards the pool he found.

Really quickly, the children came back carrying the packed game.

The skinned hare, the plucked pheasant, all the internal organs were removed, and even the tiny bird was cleaned up.

Watching the children chattering, they poked the game rack with wooden sticks and roasted it in a circle around the fire. The older boy also took out salt and sprinkled it.

"Mom, don't worry, brother, he's done a good job baking it and it won't burn." The youngest girl stood next to Hong Xiaoduo and told her.

Hong Xiaoduo nodded, crossing his legs with his arms on his legs and supporting his chin, watching the children roasting game excitedly.

At this time, she heard the sound of horse hooves and looked in the direction of the sound. A carriage was coming, followed by two horsemen.

The children noticed it as they got closer and looked a little nervous.

"Don't worry, it's not that person." The big boy said, looking towards the carriage.

After hearing what he said, the other children really became less nervous and continued to stare at the roasted game. Some of them were already swallowing their saliva. It was great that this one could eat the meat.

The group of people approached and stopped. The horseman didn't know what he said to the people in the carriage. Then he pointed to the roasted game and the unpacked game tied on the side and said to Hong Xiaoduo on the horseback. : "Those, and all those are sold to us."

Looking at the people high on the horse, Hong Xiaoduo said nothing, but when she saw the children eagerly looking at the game that had been roasted and fragrant and ready to be eaten, they all looked at her.

Maybe, I can’t eat this meat...
