Chapter 118

Zhong led the three sisters Yan Shuqin to tidy up the inside and outside of the cave, but Yan Xiaosi hadn't come back yet, Zhong was a little worried, and was about to send Yan Shuqin out to find someone.

"Qin'er, it's getting late, you go and get Xiaosi back, it's fine if you can't hunt prey, our family is not short of food now, tell her not to wander around in the deep mountains and old forests."

"Mom, I'm going right now."

Yan Shuqin threw down the broom with branches tied just now for sweeping the floor, and was about to look for Yan Xiaosi, when she saw Yan Xiaosi came back with a basket on his back.

"Mother, Xiaosi is back."

After notifying Zhong Shi, Yan Shuqin greeted Yan Xiaosi.

When he saw the wild rabbit in Yan Xiaosi's back basket, he was stunned, and said in surprise: "Xiao Si, you really hit the rabbit."

I can't believe that I can hit a rabbit without a bow and arrow.

"Xiao Si, it could be that this rabbit was blind and accidentally bumped its head against a tree trunk while walking, killing itself. You took advantage of it."

What the eldest sister said is a story of waiting for a rabbit.

The corners of Yan Xiaosi's mouth twitched, wishing to praise his elder sister's rich imagination.

"Sister, tomorrow, you go pick one up and show me."

"Did you really hunt this hare?"

"What do you think, there are so many dead rabbits in this mountain for me to pick up."

Yan Shuqin reached into the back basket and pulled out the hare, felt that the rabbit was still soft, as if it had been dead for a long time, so she believed Yan Xiaosi's words.

"Okay, big sister believes what you say."

Yan Xiaosi sighed, and said: "Originally, I could hunt two, but it was Cheng Yaojin who came out suddenly and scared away that fat hare."

According to what she meant, she met other people in the mountains just now.

Yan Shuqin felt nervous for a moment, immediately frowned, and asked, "Xiao Si, who did you meet in the mountains just now?"

"I don't know him. The man is wearing short brown clothes and carrying a bow and arrow on his back. He should be a hunter in the village down the mountain."

Yan Shuqin asked nervously again: "Did that man recognize you?"

Yan Xiaosi recalled Chunyu Hanfeng's expression and tone of voice at that time.

"Probably not. That man scared my prey away. I asked him to pay me a hundred pennies, but he refused and I got rid of him."

Yan Shuqin breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good if you don't recognize it, otherwise you will be in big trouble."

While talking, he pushed Yan Xiaosi into the cave: "Xiaosi, hurry up and change back into the men's clothes. Don't tell mother what happened just now. Mother is thoughtful and timid. I'm afraid she will be restless if she finds out."

Yan Xiaosi also wanted to quickly change back to her men's clothes.

It is really inconvenient and awkward to act in the women's clothing of the Great Chu Dynasty.

Putting the basket at the entrance of the cave, she quickly walked into the cave to change clothes.

It was already afternoon, Zhong Shi and Yan Shuxue were washing vegetables and rice, preparing to cook dinner.

Yan Shuyun was sitting on a stone bench, holding a piece of fur in her hand and was sewing.

In the dark cave, the light emitted by that piece of fluorite is very strong, but it can be used for needlework.

Yan Xiaosi changed back into men's clothes, walked to Yan Shuyun's side, stretched out her hand and said, "Third Sister, use the scissors for me."

"Xiao Si, what are you doing with the scissors?"

Yan Shuyun asked as she handed the scissors to her.

Yan Xiaosi took the scissors, held the scissors in his right hand, twisted a strand of hair on the right forehead with his left hand, and cut off half of the hair with a click.

Body, hair and skin are affected by parents, the Great Chu Dynasty was very particular about this, men seldom cut their hair, not to mention, Yan Xiaosi is still a girl.

This action of hers immediately frightened Yan Shuyun, as well as Zhong Shi and Yan Shuxue who were washing vegetables and rice.

Mrs. Zhong dropped the vegetable leaves, and was about to come and snatch the scissors from her hand.

"Little Four, what are you doing? All right, why are you making trouble with your own hair?"

Seeing the nervous appearance of his mother and two elder sisters, Yan Xiaosi remembered that in this era, hair is extremely important for women.

"Mother, Second Sister, Third Sister, what are you so nervous about? I don't want to pluck my hair to be a sister-in-law. I just want to cut a long hair to cover the red mole at the corner of my right eye."

Although the red mole at the corner of the right eye is very distinctive and charming, it is too eye-catching. Once she does something bad, it is easy for others to find her, so it is better to cover it up.

Zhong's tense nerves relaxed, and he spat: "You child, you didn't explain it in advance."

Yan Xiaosi put down the scissors, pulled Zhong's arm, and smiled mischievously.

"Mother, I've surprised you. I hunted a wild rabbit today, and the elder sister is cleaning it outside. Let's fry the hare meat tonight, so I won't surprise you, mother."

Zhong was surprised to be able to hunt hares without a bow and arrow.

"Girl, how did you catch the hare?"

Yan Shuxue and Yan Shuyun also stared at her eagerly.

This fourth sister is amazing.

This is the voice of the sisters at the moment.

Yan Xiaosi shrugged his shoulders and replied, "It's probably because the hare is stupid. It was squatting in the grass and grazing, and I smashed it to death with a stone."

The corner of Yan Shuxue's mouth twitched.

"I don't know if the rabbit is stupid or you are lucky. In short, we have a good meal tonight."

Yan Shuqin went to the mountain stream, skinned the wild rabbit, took out the internal organs, cleaned up, and carried the white and tender rabbit meat into the cave.

When Yan Shuxue and Yan Shuyun saw the white and tender hare meat, they couldn't help swallowing, especially Yan Xiaosi, who swallowed with a gurgling sound, probably because he was growing his body, and his eyes were shining when he saw the meat. The fault has not been corrected yet.

Sucking her lips, she asked Zhong Shi: "Mother, shall we eat stir-fried rabbit meat tonight, or stewed rabbit meat and drink broth?"

Yan Shuqin said: "It looks like this rabbit is not that big, after peeling the skin, it looks like there is quite a lot of meat."

With that said, he handed over three catties of rabbit meat to Mrs. Zhong.

Zhong took it, put it on the cutting board, then turned to ask Yan Xiaosi: "Xiao Si, do you want stir-fried ones more, or stewed ones?"

As long as it is meat, Yan Xiaosi wants to eat it.

"Mom, I want to eat them all, the fried meat is fragrant, the stewed soup is fresh, and the meat is tender."

Zhong thought for a while, and said: "Mother saw how big this hare is, so mother cut this hare in half, used half for stir-frying, and half added some vegetables for stewing soup, Xiao Si, what do you think? how?"

"It's good, it's just half fried and half stewed, it's too troublesome for mother to do."

Now it’s not easy to just put a broken iron pot on the simple earthen stove and get something to eat. Stir-fry half of the rabbit meat and stew the other half in two pots. Zhong’s at least has to be busy. More than half an hour.

"You girl, it's too troublesome to eat."

While speaking, Mrs. Zhong picked up the kitchen knife, pressed the rabbit meat on the cutting board, chopped it down with a few knives, and cut a rabbit in half.

"Mother is not afraid of trouble, you have been wandering around in the deep mountains and old forests for so long, first lie down and rest for a while, when it is ready, I will call you."
