Reborn 1960之巧女当家

Chapter 73 Hunting in the Mountains ([-])

Zai Zai gently pushed against Xia Nuan with his big head, and there was a snoring sound in his throat. Xia Nuan knew that he hadn't gone up the mountain for too long this time, so he should be worried.

Xia Nuan rubbed Zai Zai's big head, "Okay, didn't I go up the mountain to see you..."

After comforting Zai Zai, Xia Nuan jumped and sat on its back, "Zai Zai, take me for a walk on the mountain, I'll see if there are any good prey."

As soon as Xia Nuan's voice fell, Zai Zai began to run quickly. Although it ran fast, it was also very stable. Xia Nuan didn't feel uncomfortable sitting on Zai Zai's back.

The air in the mountains is really good. Xia Nuan felt a lot more comfortable watching the surrounding scenery retreat quickly. Zai Zai ran to a valley in the deep mountains with Xia Nuan on his back and stopped slowly.

Xia Nuan looked forward and saw a group of wild goats drinking water by the river in this valley. She carefully got off Zai Zai's back and hid by relying on the dense weeds around her.

It seems that she was lucky today and met a group of wild goats as soon as she came, but Xia Nuan didn't think about catching many goats.

"Zai Zai, stay here and don't move. I'll go out and catch the sheep and I'll be right back." In fact, letting Zai Zai do it would be faster, but every time she sees Zai Zai biting her prey bloody, she loses her appetite, so Just plan to do it yourself.

These wild goats were very vigilant even when they were drinking water. Xia Nuan approached the prey lightly, and took out the slingshot that only she could use when she felt that it was almost done.

"Hoo..." A stone was shot out and hit a wild goat's front leg joint. Xia Nuan knew that the strength of her force just now must have broken the wild goat's bones.

Xia Nuan didn't rush to pick up the prey, but shot another stone. This time, Xia Nuan shot another wild goat in the head without holding back. The wild goat that was shot in the head didn't even struggle directly. Just fell to the ground.

The movement was so loud that the other wild goats had already scattered and fled. Xia Nuan found vines and tied up the living wild goat. The other wild goat was called by Xia Nuan to be eaten by the cubs.

With Zai Zai beside her, Xia Nuan was not afraid of any danger, so he simply let Zai Zai eat here. The small river in this valley is very clear and there are many fish and shrimps that look very fat.

This Xia Nuan understood after thinking about it. In this deep mountain valley, no one came to catch fish and shrimp. Of course, there are more fish and shrimp. Looking at the fish and shrimp in the water, various methods flashed through Xia Nuan's mind, and she was almost greedy. Drooling.

After arriving here, Xia Nuan thought that she had never eaten shrimp. One was because there were only a few small shrimps in the small river in the village, and the other was because many people were caught. Xia Nuan was too lazy to share with others. Go grab these little fish and shrimp.

But the small river in this valley is different. The prawns in the small river in this valley are as long as ten centimeters, which is considered to be the largest among river prawns.

Xia Nuan didn't delay too much and cut a piece of bamboo next to her to make five bamboo pots. She raised all the river prawns she caught from the river in the bamboo pots. Although the place is a bit small, the road is not far away. These river prawns must still be alive when she gets home.

Xia Nuan caught five bamboo pots of river prawns and raised them, thinking that there should be enough for the family to eat a few meals, plus she had some time to go up the mountain and it was time to go back, so she called Zai Zai out of the mountain.

The wild goat was too big for Xia Nuan to hold, and there were a lot of medicinal materials in her back basket, and the back basket was too small to fit the wild goat.

The house of Suoxing Xia's family was built not far from the mountain, but it would be too high-profile for her to bring the sheep home directly.

Although Xia Nuan doesn't want her family to know the existence of Zai Zai, and there is no other good way now, Xia Nuan plans to go home first, let Zai Zai watch the sheep so that other animals don't pick it up, and wait She went home and asked her father to find a way to bring the sheep back.

There was Zai Zai carrying Xia Nuan on their backs, and they soon reached the foot of the mountain. Although there were no people on the mountain, she did not dare to take the risk of letting Zai Zai go down the mountain. It would be bad if the villagers saw it.

"Zai Zai, you just wait here for me, don't go down the mountain, I'll be right back, you know?" Xia Nuan worriedly told Zai Zai not to go down the mountain again and again.

Zai Zai rubbed his big head against Xia Nuan's hand and let out a low growl as he agreed, Xia Nuan left for a while, Zai Zai still looked at the direction Xia Nuan left.

After going down the mountain, Xia Nuan returned home without meeting anyone. Immediately after returning home, she took the wooden basin and poured the river prawns in the bamboo tank into the basin to raise them.

Xia Zhongguo was working at work, Xia Nuan put away his things and hurried to look for Xia Zhongguo in the sweet potato field.

Now Xia Nuan is also working in the fields, so she basically knows where Xia Zhongguo and the others work every day, because Xia Nuan ran to find Xia Zhongguo in a hurry.

"Father... come here, I have something urgent for you." Xia Nuan, who finally found Xia Zhongguo, hurriedly called him home.

Xia Zhongguo was weeding in the field, when he heard Xia Nuan calling him anxiously, seeing his daughter running away with a blushing little face, he thought something happened at home, before he could ask clearly, he asked for leave and went with Xia Nuan The two ran home.

Wang Ximei lives in another land far away from here, so she doesn't know anything about Xia Zhongguo's affairs at all. If she knew, she would probably be in a hurry to ask for leave and go home with Xia Zhongguo!
The other people around wanted to follow along to watch the fun, but they could only think about it if they couldn't delay the work in the field.

When Xia Zhongguo ran home and saw that there was nothing wrong, his face darkened instantly and he wanted to say something to Xia Nuan.

"Nuannuan, tell me the truth, what happened to you just now when you were so anxious to find your father and go home?"

Looking at Xia Zhongguo's appearance, Xia Nuan knew that he was angry, but she didn't know what she did wrong to make Xia Zhongguo so angry.

"Father, I want to ask you for help with something. I'm in a hurry but it must be a good thing." Xia Nuan said mysteriously, not afraid of Xia Zhongguo's black face at all.

"What's a good thing? Your mother and I don't know what's going on at home? You little ghost is blabbering all day long. If something happens, just tell me that your father has to go to work to earn food for you!"

"Father, I killed a wild goat on the mountain, and I dare not take it home if I hid it on the mountain. Come with me and get the goat back!" Xia Nuan also knew that Xia Zhongguo was still thinking about the work in the field. Don't dare to delay, just tell the matter directly.

"Wild goats? You... Nuannuan, you are not lying to your father, are you? How old are you that you can hunt wild goats?" Xia Zhongguo felt that he must have heard it wrong. What about Xia Nuan, a ten-year-old girl? It may be possible to hit wild goats that adults can't hit!

"Father, why did I lie to you and you don't have any meat to eat? Is it true? Just follow me up the mountain to see if that's all right. The wild goat is still alive with a broken leg!" Xia Nuan raised her head, obviously suspicious of Xia Zhongguo She is not happy about things!
"Okay, okay, it's my father's fault. Our daughter is the most powerful. If you leave, my father will follow you up the mountain to see what this wild goat looks like. To be honest, I haven't seen this wild goat for many years."

Speaking of which, Xia Zhongguo took the biggest back basket at home and went up the mountain with Xia Nuan. This back bag used to be used to carry the children at home, so that adults can relax and children can feel more comfortable in the back bag.

Xia Nuan led the way, and Xia Zhongguo followed behind.

Originally, Xia Zhongguo thought he would arrive soon, but before he arrived after walking into the deep mountains, Xia Zhongguo's complexion began to turn bad.

"Nuan Nuan, you wild goat came from the deep mountains?"

At this time, Xia Nuan realized that her family had clearly said that she would not be allowed to go into the deep mountains. When she went to the mountains all these years, the family only thought that she was collecting firewood at the foot of the mountain. It would be terrible to be exposed now.

"I... Father, I'm sorry that I went into the deep mountains. I called the wild goats from the deep mountains." No matter what, you can't go wrong if you admit your mistake first.

"Deep mountain? You, a disobedient child, are too courageous. How dare you enter the deep mountain alone? You must know that even a dozen strong men in the village would not dare to enter the deep mountain together. You...you..." Xia Xia Zhong Guo was so annoyed by Xia Nuan that he was a little incoherent.

"Father, don't be angry now. Don't worry, I'm sure nothing will happen. You'll know what's going on when you see it later." Xia Nuan felt that it was useless to talk about it now, so she had better wait for Xia Zhongguo. Let's talk about it after seeing Zai Zai!
