Wang family small peasant girl

Chapter 60

The vole holes in the Chang family's field have almost disappeared. The three cousins ​​of the Chang family and Chang Juan followed the Zhang family brothers and sisters to the Zhang family's field. With the Chang family brothers, there is no need to worry about not being able to catch them here. Vole is gone.

Chang Ming, Chang Liang, and Chang Man came back after picking up a lot of branches and leaves, and they cooperated again and got busy in the Zhang family's field. Zhang Zhang and Zhang Xing also helped, pointing out the location of the mouse hole to them one by one. , and conveniently gathered up the bow clips in front of the hole. The bamboo pieces of the bow clips are sharpened at both ends, which can be used to cut the stomachs of field mice, and they can also be skewered and roasted on the fire.

The boys all went to hunt voles, so Zhang Yun and Chang Juan ran to the grass ditch and squatted down. Zhang Yun was in charge of cutting open the voles' stomachs, digging out the internal organs, and skinning them, while Chang Juan was in charge of cleaning.

Although Zhang Yun has had a feast of voles, he has never done repairs. He has no experience, so his movements are very slow. It took a long time to fix all the things that the Chang family caught.

As soon as her side was finished, several brothers from the Chang family, Zhang Zhang, and Zhang Xing ran over, shook the bucket at Zhang Yun, and said with a smile: "A dozen more were caught, Yun'er, take them. "

Zhang Zhang took the bucket from Chang Ming, ran to Zhang Yun, and knelt down to help repair it. He always knew his sister's temper and liked to mess with things, so he wasn't surprised at all, but voles can be eaten. This is a bit of a surprise.

Although Chang Ming and Chang Liang agreed to try the taste, they were still reluctant to thank them for repairing them, so they went to the place where Zhang Zhang had laid the straw earlier, and sat down on the floor, but Chang Man ran to Zhang Yun and the others, wanting to do something. help.

Zhang Yun felt Chang Man running over, and moved a few steps unconsciously, Chang Man stopped in his tracks, stood there and looked at Zhang Yun's squatting petite back, his eyes dimmed a little, stopped for a while, and then walked After turning around, he walked to Chang Juan's side and helped her clean up together.

After joining the two people, the field mouse was quickly repaired, and then straightened the bamboo pieces clipped by the bow, put the field mouse on, took it to the fire that had been made, and grilled it.

"Brother, I'll run back and get some salt and pepper noodles. Watch the fire and don't burn it." How can there be no seasoning for barbecued things? When she was peeling the skin, she had already scratched the back of the field mouse with a bamboo knife A few cuts do not require so many tricks in modern times, just sprinkle some salt and pepper, and the baked bread will be crispy and fragrant.

"Let me go, the girl's house, it's inconvenient to run around at night, and besides, this place is closer to my house, so I can turn back sooner after I take it." Zhang Yungang finished speaking, the regulations wanted to stop him, and said to get it by himself, But Chang Man took the first step. He stood up suddenly and ran away without a torch. However, the boys in the village are usually very familiar with the fields, and they can reach home without a torch. Go, don't worry about it.

Voles in winter have to store fat for the winter, so they are relatively plump, but they are thinner in summer. Now that the weather has just passed winter, the fat on the voles is still very thick, so after a short while on the fire, there will be a buzzing sound. There was the sound of oil dripping into the fire, and the fragrance slowly wafted out.

The big guys smelled the aroma, and they all thought it was amazing. They all stood up and looked at the grill that had been set up. They saw voles framed by bamboo slices, which were now roasted until they were slightly browned. A gust of wind blowing toward the face.

A few people were staring open their necks, and Chang Man ran back, panting, and handed the small pot in his hand to Zhang Yun, Zhang Yun took it, found a slightly larger leaf, and washed it in the grass ditch. Put, wipe dry water on the sleeves, open the jar, roll up the leaves slightly, use the leaves as a spoon, and sprinkle the salt and pepper noodles that have been mixed spoon by spoon, the ingredients will be more delicious when sprinkled Fragrant up.

At this point, everyone really believed in it. This field mouse looks really delicious. With this thought in their hearts, everyone began to look forward to the delicious roasted field mouse.

The voles were small, and after turning them over a few times, they were almost cooked. Zhang Yun distributed them to everyone one by one, and after several people caught them, they all turned to look at Chang Man.

Chang Man didn't forget what he said, seeing them all cast their gazes over, tightened his hands holding the bamboo slices, held his breath and stuffed the roasted field mouse into his mouth.

As soon as the roasted field mouse was in his mouth, Chang Man could taste the taste. He only felt that the meat was fragrant and smooth, and the meat was very delicate, and it didn't have any fishy smell. It was somewhat similar to the roasted hare he had eaten before, and it was equally delicious.

"Well, it's delicious, try it quickly." Chang Man smiled as soon as he tasted the umami, and couldn't help pointing at the roasted voles in their hands, urging them to eat it quickly. While talking, he began to feast on himself.

Seeing that Chang Man was eating with gusto, the other people had no doubts and started eating with all their hands. Zhang Yun smiled and saw that they all had it in his mouth, then sat back on the straw and began to taste carefully.

After a few bites, everyone tasted the umami, and couldn't help but say it was delicious. Everyone hurriedly put all the remaining voles on it, sprinkled salt and pepper on it, and grilled it. There was a fire, sitting and eating and chatting. After a while, everyone was eating and talking and laughing more and more lively, and they were very happy.

As soon as everyone gathered to chat and laugh, the time dragged on, the picked branches and leaves were slowly burned out, and the flames of the fire became darker and darker. Zhang Yun almost fell into the fire, but he still felt a little chilly, Hugging the bent legs, the whole person curled up a little bit, and Zhang Xing, who was next to him, also drooped his head, and had been silent for a while.

Chang Man looked over to Zhang Yun, and seeing her shrunk, he knew she must be feeling cold, so he stood up quickly and said, "It's too late for this meeting, it's time to go back, let's all go away." .”

All the people here are young children. Although they go to bed early on weekdays, they seldom go out at night, and they are all very excited. Now they are chatting again. No matter where they are tired, a few people are about to refuse when a voice comes from afar. Boom—boom, the beating sound of boom, one slow and two fast, which means that it is already the third watch.

"It's the third watch, it's time to go back." After hearing the call, Zhang Zhang also stood up, saying that he was going back, so everyone stopped talking and stood up one by one.

Zhang Yun really couldn't bear the cold, and now everyone said they wanted to go back, so naturally they wished for it, so she stood up quickly, and as soon as she stood up, leaning on her Zhang Xing, she tilted and fell to the ground, Zhang Yun Seeing that Zhang Xing didn't wake up like this, he couldn't help grinning, squatted down, stretched out his hand to wake him up, and pulled him up.

"He happened to be sleeping, don't call him, I'll carry him back." Zhang Zhang also stepped over at this time, preventing Zhang Yun from waking him up.

Zhang Cheng was squatting down, ready to embrace Zhang Xing, but Zhang Yun suddenly said: "Brother, no, Xingzi's hands are so hot, take a look." As he spoke, his hand touched Zhang Xing's His forehead felt extremely hot, slightly higher than the temperature on his hands.

Zhang Zhang immediately touched it, and a few people next to him were standing up, patting the grass clippings on their bodies, and when they heard this, they all gathered around and asked: "How is it, Xingzi has a fever?" ?"

With such a high temperature, there is no doubt that he has a fever. Zhang Zhang and Zhang Yun's hearts suddenly tightened. go forward.

Seeing this situation, several members of the Chang family were also very worried, and they all followed up one by one. After walking a few steps, Chang Ming suddenly said: "Could it be that you eat roasted voles, and it spoiled it?"

Chang Ming's words exploded like a thunderbolt, and everyone present felt their hearts thump, and there were already seven layers of letters, and they couldn't help becoming anxious, saying: "We all ate, in case something good or bad happens, what is it now?"

Although Zhang Yun thought it was unlikely, he didn't have full confidence. He said that it was not because of the voles at all, and he couldn't help but feel drummed in his heart. He was afraid that his younger brother would get sick on a whim. Once the idea came up, he would throw it away Not falling, when walking behind the charter, my hands and feet felt a little trembling, and I panicked for a while.

Zhang Zhang raised his whole heart at this meeting, he was worried about Zhang Xing, and also worried that it was because of the voles, if other people had problems, Zhang Yun would be blamed by everyone, and his heart became more anxious, and his mind was a little confused I can't think of any way to do it.

Fortunately, Chang Man was still calm. After listening to Chang Ming's words, he rolled his eyes at Zhang Yun and said, "Everyone, don't think about it, Zhang Xing will have a severe fever. You have to go to the doctor right away. Let's go together too." Cheng Zi’s family, let the doctor take a look, if there is any problem, it’s best to treat it as soon as possible.”

As soon as Chang Man finished speaking, everyone else nodded their heads one after another. At this moment, Chang Juan said urgently: "But Doctor Lin's house is far away, so I'm afraid it will be dawn every time I come and go."

At this mention, some people who were relaxed just now raised their hearts again. Zhang Yun calmed down a little at this time, and hurriedly said: "Doctor Lin lives far away, but Doctor Xiaohong lives in the next village, so I might as well look for it separately. Before Dr. Lin came, Dr. Xiao Hong could make a diagnosis first, and it’s better to be able to hold on for a while than everyone else.”

This method immediately got everyone's approval, and they stopped their progress immediately. Everyone made a plan and divided into three groups. Zhang Zhang, Zhang Yun, and Chang Juan took Zhang Xing back, Chang Ming went to find Hong Cheng, Chang Man, and Chang Liang Go to Dr. Lin, and after you have made up your mind, everyone will split up in their respective directions without further delay.

Zhang Cheng strode home with Zhang Xing in his arms, and Zhang Yun and Chang Juan followed closely behind him. After a while, the three of them turned across the Qingling River and walked up the path leading to Zhang's house.

Seeing that he was approaching the fenced courtyard, Zhang Zhang couldn't bear it any longer, and ran into the courtyard with big strides. Naturally, Zhang Yun and Chang Juan couldn't stay behind, and they also ran together. When they entered the courtyard, everyone was out of breath. .

Zhang Xing slept on the same kang with his parents. Zhang Yun was afraid that if he carried Zhang Xing back to the house like this, he would scare his parents. Pulling Zhang Zhang's arm, pointing to his own room, Zhang Zhang quickly understood, and carried Zhang Xing into the house.

After putting Zhang Xing on the kang and covering him with the quilt, Zhang Zhang took a breath, calmed down for a while, went out of the house and knocked on the door of his parents, such a big matter must not be kept secret.

Zhang Yun lit the oil lamp, went to the kang and leaned over to look at Zhang Xing, saw that his face was flushed, he was groggy, and he was not awake, his small brows were slightly frowned, as if he was very uncomfortable, his heart couldn't help but tighten up.
