The first peasant concubine of the prosperous age

Chapter 3: Hunting the Hare

"Dong dong..." Just as Yang Yaoyao was lying on the kang and listening to his stomach growling, he suddenly heard a knock on the door and got up to look. It turned out to be Mrs. Zheng.

"Big sister, I don't have much at home. You and Brother Zhang will put the freshly boiled eggs on the bed first." After speaking, Mrs. Zheng handed the three eggs in her arms to Yang Yaoyao.

Yang Yaoyao knew that in such a poor village, it was a luxury to have eggs. She also knew that she was bad before and other villagers avoided her, but why did Mrs. Zheng treat her so well?

"Sister-in-law Zheng, I can't take this egg. Dahu is growing up, so let him eat it." Dahu is the son of sister-in-law Zheng, who is only five years old this year.

"Oh, big sister, don't be polite to me, if it wasn't for Big Sister Sun who saved me back then, I don't know where I am now, and when I gave birth to Dahu, my family was very poor, and Big Sister Sun was too busy , so it is right to take care of you now, you are not a bad child, but you are too self-willed, in the future, Brother Zhang will get better, but you have to live a good life..." The eldest sister Sun that Zheng said is Yang Yaoyao's mother in this life .

Finally, under Mrs. Zheng's persuasion, Yang Yaoyao finally accepted the three eggs. He didn't like to eat eggs in his previous life. Now he feels that the eggs in his hand are really good things. They are heavy, just like her heart. the warmth.

She remembered this favor and would definitely repay it in the future.

Yang Yaoyao ate one egg by himself, and then left the other two eggs for Zhang Xi. When he wakes up, he needs some nutrition. She never likes to owe favors to others, so let him take care of her for the past few days. Fortunately, Her body is only 15 years old and thin, and she can survive the whole night eating an egg.

After eating, Yang Yaoyao got on the kang and lay there thinking about things. In her previous life, she was the Queen of the Night—Ye Mei. Countless people were afraid of her, and countless people wanted her life. Tired, now in such a mountain village, life is simple and peaceful, so let’s live in peace when you come, even though you are poor, you still have to live, she doesn’t want to show her talent and wisdom prematurely, so let’s keep a low profile like this, It's also good to sit and eat and wait to die.

But the key is that there is nothing to eat now, so she has to think of a way. It is winter now, and the mountains are covered with snow, so she probably can't find anything to eat. Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in her mind, there should be rabbits in snowy days, If you can hunt a rabbit, how many days can you eat it?

The next day, Yang Yaoyao woke up before dawn, cut a wooden stick into a wooden blade with a kitchen knife, and took the wooden blade to the mountain.

It snowed all night, and the accumulation became thicker and thicker, almost reaching the knees. Yang Yaoyao walked with difficulty. His body was too weak, and he was tired after walking such a short distance. Sure enough, he couldn't compare with her previous life. But for her, the more high-profile the more right and wrong, it is better to live a low-key life. If she hadn't been like that back then, her brother would not have died for her... Thinking of this, Yang Yaoyao felt pain in his heart.

Suddenly a white shadow passed by Yang Yaoyao's side. There really was a rabbit. Yang Yaoyao's eyes suddenly burst into a cold light, and a strong cold air radiated from his body.

There were still rabbit footprints scattered on the ground, and Yang Yaoyao followed quickly. Although the rabbit was fast, Yang Yaoyao's skill in modern times was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Although he changed his body, the agility of his soul remained the same. It was almost time to catch up with the rabbit, and then aiming in the direction, his eyes sharpened, and he threw the wooden blade out of his hand in an instant.

"Touch." The sound of the wooden blade piercing through the air came out, bringing a bitter cold air, and the speed was so fast that it instantly pierced the fleeing rabbit from the neck. The rabbit also fell on the snow, struggled a few times, and then remained motionless. .

Yang Yaoyao stepped forward and pulled out the wooden blade, pulled the rabbit's ears, and looked at the sky.It was almost dawn, so she went straight down the mountain, thinking about how to eat this meat, how to keep her full, and how many more meals she could eat. She is now a poor person, and she has to find a way to live.

When I got home, the sky was already bright, and every household in the village began to raise cooking smoke, and the curling smoke made the village extraordinarily quiet and simple in this winter morning.

Yang Yaoyao saw that Zhang Xi's face seemed to be much better, but before he woke up, Yang Yaoyao began to peel off the rabbit fur with a knife. Because of his skillful knife skills, the whole rabbit skin was peeled off like this. She thought, Perhaps this fur can be sold for some money. After collecting the rabbit fur, cut off half of the rabbit meat for lunch and dinner, and then began to cook the rest of the rabbit meat.

Yang Yaoyao looked at the rare condiments on the stove, then cut the rabbit meat into pieces of equal size, put them in a broken pot, added a little ginger, garlic, and salt, and then found a little wine beside it to marinate.

Looking at the wall, there seemed to be a few peppers and green onions hanging on the wall, Yang Yaoyao stretched out his hand to reach for them, cut them up and put them into the basin together.

After the marinating time was about the same, she turned on the fire. After the pot was hot, put an appropriate amount of oil, and then started to fry. When the time was almost up, she put in a little sauce, and after a while, the aroma came out, because With limited conditions, she can only make it like this. If there are enough condiments, the taste will be very delicious.

Put some in a bowl, and Yang Yaoyao gave it to Mrs. Zheng. After talking for a long time, Mrs. Zheng accepted it, and praised her for being able to cook now. She can smile, but talking too much makes Zheng suspicious. She can only say that because of Zhang Xi's illness, she has thought clearly and just wants to live a good life.

Coming out of Mrs. Zheng's house, just a few steps away, a busy woman ran up to her. She was dressed in a coarse cloth, her skin was a bit dark, and she looked simple and strong. She was a little happy to see Yang Yaoyao, and grabbed her arm Said: "Sister Yang, your health is finally healed, don't be sad, isn't it just a few words of ridicule? There are so many men in the town, there will always be someone who thinks you are good, there will be a market in the town the day after tomorrow, I will go Buy some groceries for Chinese New Year, they are still cheap now, but they will be more expensive during the Chinese New Year, go this time, whoever bullies you, I will bully you back.”

Yang Yaoyao is not used to others being so kind to him, especially a stranger. If in the previous life, the moment this person approached him, he would have been killed. He also had some conditioned reflex just now, but she suppressed it. To live a peaceful life, you must first get used to this peaceful day.

Yang Yaoyao didn't know who this person was. The general villagers looked like they were hiding from the plague when they saw her, but this woman seemed to be in her early twenties, and she should be married too. Being ridiculed is also taken for granted, but the woman in front of her looks resentful and vents her anger for her.

"Sister Yang, I'm here to tell you about the day after tomorrow. I'm relieved to see that you're well. This is a fish caught from a frozen lake. You're not in good health. Go back and do something to nourish your body. Zhang Xi, even if you don't like it, just make do with it first, don't beat him to death, it will be bad reputation for you to remarry." In Fang Daling's mind, no matter how bad Yang Yaoyao was, he was also her own savior, and Yang Yaoyao didn't Anything that hurts nature and reason is those people who go too far and deliberately satirize Yang Yaoyao.
