Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 27 Opening up meat

After the spring wheat is harvested, the wheat is dried and then ground, husked and bagged.

After working for a while, the new educated youth, who had gradually gotten used to the new wheat they had just received, happily began to discuss whether they wanted to have a better meal.

Jiang Yu is craving for meat, so she has been eating vegetables every day recently, occasionally adding an egg, and she eats so much that her eyes turn green.

It just so happened that she didn't have to work in the afternoon, so she wanted to take a walk around the mountain behind to see if she could catch a pheasant or rabbit or something to improve her meals.

Several others expressed their desire to participate.

Although Xue Li has shopping space, since he moved into his own small house, he would occasionally eat some black pepper chicken breast for fitness to satisfy his cravings, as that thing has the smallest fragrance.

But if you can eat meat openly, that would be the most enjoyable! Catch a rabbit! Catch a rabbit! Go ahead~

The group of new educated youth in the backyard went back to their rooms to eat something simple, then came out to gather with their own tools.

The old educated youth in the front yard were still eating, and the female educated youth who didn't have to cook were washing clothes.

Xue Li looked at the clothes, which seemed to be men's clothes, and immediately frowned.

After leaving the educated youth camp, she held Jiang Yu's arm and said, "They are old educated youth, and women still have to wash men's clothes?"

Jiang Yu nodded, "Yeah, I've seen it several times."

But before, Xue Li was exhausted by farm work every day and didn't pay attention to these details at all. Now that he saw it, he was suddenly glad that he had a falling out with the old educated youth, otherwise this kind of thing would probably happen to them.

"This is too much. How can you wash clothes for a man who has no relatives or friends? You must be crazy! What's wrong with those men? They came to the countryside as educated youth and still think they are the bosses? Let women wash clothes and cook for them? What are they doing?"

"Well... collecting firewood and fetching water." Jiang Yu shrugged. This was the situation in the front yard.

Xue Li looked extremely shocked. "Carrying water? The well is right in the front yard, so it's only two steps away. And collecting firewood? I saw the female educated youth occasionally go up the mountain to collect firewood, and they also pick wild vegetables. Damn, this feudal family has come true. It's so disgusting!"

Jiang Yu was amused by her words. He looked at Chen Jinghan who was concentrating on listening to their conversation and asked with a smile, "If you find a partner in the future, will you wash clothes and cook for him?"

Xue Li immediately shook her head so hard that it looked like it would fall off. "I won't! I'm just a loser. I can't work or cook. I'm looking for a partner who can be a housekeeper. If I can't find one, forget it!" I don't want to wash clothes and cook for a man! Even if the other person is a fairy from heaven, she, Xue Li, won't wash clothes and cook for him! Whoever wants to do it can do it! Anyway, she won't do it!

Chen Jinghan secretly clenched his fists, thinking that he had to learn how to cook as soon as possible, wash clothes more diligently, and perform well!

Xiong Lijin and Fu Biao next to them started to make faces again, secretly glancing at Chen Jinghan, and even opened their mouths to make mouth shapes, "Brother, practice your cooking skills~"

Brothers know their brothers' business. Chen Jinghan, who has had an orderly and an aunt taking care of her at home since she was a child, doesn't know how to cook at all.

Jiang Yu saw the three brothers making mischief out of the corner of his eye and agreed with Xue Li's goal, "Not bad, keep it up. If we can't be good wives and mothers, let the other person be! Come on~"

Xue Li clenched his fist, "Let's encourage each other~"

After crossing the front mountain of Yaoer Mountain, we officially entered the primeval forest. The temperature here was obviously much lower than outside, and everyone wearing short sleeves felt chilly.

Jiang Yu's perception is far beyond that of ordinary people. Normally, she would try her best to ignore everything perceived by her five senses. However, in such a large forest, this powerful perception is like a built-in radar, which can help her find prey quickly.

Jiang Yu picked up a few slightly sharp stones and tossed them up and down in his hand.

The other people were searching nearby.

After Wu Aiqing entered the mountains, he was like a mouse that fell into an oil tank. It was so beautiful! He saw all kinds of herbs. He squatted down and started digging. Today was another day of working hard to make money.

A gray figure flashed before Jiang Yu's eyes, and the next second, the stone in her hand shot out like lightning.

"Fuck!" Fu Biao trotted a few steps, picked up the unconscious rabbit lying on the ground, and shook it twice. "Awesome, Jiang Yu! You must be a martial arts genius from a famous sect! Such eyesight, such hand speed, and such strength, I admire you!"

The other people immediately gathered around, looking at the rabbit knocked out by Jiang Yu in surprise, and gave a thumbs up, "Awesome sister!"

Xue Li clapped his hands like a seal, "Sister, is it too late for me to become your disciple now?"

Jiang Yu handed over a cane and asked Fu Biao to tie up the rabbit's legs. "It's too late, girl. You're old now. Some of it is too bitter to eat since childhood."

"Oh my god." Xue Li pretended to cry, then took the tied rabbit with swift movements and touched its fur. "The needle won't prick me. I can have meat tonight! So delicious~"

Chen Jinghan suddenly had a strong desire to win. "Come on, let's continue. We can't let Jiang Yu have all the glory. We'll have an extra meal today. Brothers, work harder!"

Xiong Lijin covered his chest with a cry, "Brother Chen, it's not that I don't work hard, I just don't have the talent. Otherwise, Brother Chen, can you try harder?"

Fu Biao also pretended to be weak and covered his stomach, "How about Brother Chen, can you try harder?"

"I..." Chen Jinghan's eyes widened. What kind of damn fake brotherhood is this? "I'll beat you to death! Hurry up! Go catch the rabbit!"

"Hahaha~" The two mischievous people laughed and ran away.

Wu Aiqing also followed them with a smile.

Jiang Yu and Xue Li were left with a look of disgust. These guys are so childish~

There are flocks of birds and animals in the mountains, and the loud bird calls accompanied by occasional laughter spread out from the periphery.

A tall figure squatted on a tree branch, looking at the person in the distance with a telescope. After making sure that there was no harm, he turned around, climbed down the tree, and then disappeared into the mountains.

Jiang Yu looked in the direction where the figure disappeared, but there were only dense trees and weeds, and intricate vines hanging on the branches, and nothing behind them.

"Jiang Yu, come quickly, there seems to be a big cargo here." Xiong Lijin and Jiang Yu have become familiar with each other because of working together recently. While carefully observing the claw marks on the ground, he called Jiang Yu, who seemed relatively reliable, to come over to check.

Jiang Yu immediately agreed and rushed over.

Chen Jinghan, who had run away with Fu Biao chasing a rabbit, heard the conversation over there and hurried back.

"What big thing?" Xue Li and Wu Aiqing came over with baskets on their backs.

Jiang Yu looked at the footprint, which was not particularly large but had a rounded shape, and asked uncertainly, "Does it look like a cat's footprint? But this size..."

"Tiger? Leopard?" Xiong Lijin's eyes widened. He adjusted his glasses and looked at the footprints in disbelief. "This is the outskirts. Why would such a large cat come to the outskirts?"

"No way? Could we have made a mistake?" Fu Biao felt that it was not very reasonable. Such beasts usually lived inside the mountains where there was plenty of food. There was no need for them to come out of the mountains.

Jiang Yu was not sure either. After all, her knowledge of wild animals was based on the apocalypse. They were all huge beasts. With footprints of this size, the animal should not be very big. "Let's go. Don't go in this direction. Whatever it is, let's just avoid it."

"Okay." The others agreed, then picked up their things and left quickly.
