Chapter 179 It Hits on Its Own
Lu Hu and Lu Yuanzheng were still sleeping, and Yang Liuqing was cooking porridge.
Seeing them coming back, I couldn't help but ask:
"Why are you back so soon? Did you pick any bamboo shoots?"
"Yes!"
Before the two adults spoke, the two children couldn't help but rush to speak:
"Aunt, look, I picked these. The basket is almost full."
Lu Yaoyao held the basket of freshly picked bamboo shoots in front of Yang Liuqing.
Yang Liuqing looked at the green bamboo shoots, on which there were still crystal clear water droplets that had not yet dispersed, and praised with curved eyebrows:
"Wow, you picked so many, you are amazing."
After receiving praise from her elders, Lu Yaoyao started dancing with joy again.
Of course, you can’t just praise one child!
After Yang Liuqing praised Lu Yaoyao, he looked at Mu Yuer's basket and gave her a thumbs up:
"Yu'er is amazing. You picked so many. I'll make bamboo shoot buns for you later!"
Mu Yuer put down the basket and said angrily, "Second Aunt, Yaoyao and I made a bet. We could have picked more bamboo shoots, but some people came and snatched all the bamboo shoots we hadn't picked yet."
When Yang Liuqing heard someone coming, his face changed and he looked at Lu Qingqing and Liang Pei and said:
"What's going on? Are those people chasing us again?"
Lu Qing didn't say anything, Liang Pei took over her words and said:
"It's not those people. There are many disaster victims who went to Chongzhou City. They also came here."
When Yang Liuqing heard that it was not them, he felt relieved, but he did not want to travel with so many victims.
"They will probably just pick the bamboo shoots and leave. They won't stay, right?"
Liang Pei looked outside and said thoughtfully:
"It's hard to say. There are many hills nearby, and it's spring now, so there are many things to eat. I guess they will go through all the hills in this area before continuing north."
"They have been hungry for half a year and finally have something to eat. If it were me, I wouldn't want to hurry on my way either."
If they don't want to leave, you can't just chase them away. You can only try to avoid them when you meet them.
Liang Pei nodded, looked at Lu Qingqing, suddenly remembered something, and asked:
"By the way, why did you scream just now?"
Although the victims were shouting loudly, Liang Pei still heard her cry of joy.
Lu Qingqing didn't say anything, but put down the backpack.
Under the gaze of everyone, she poured out the bamboo shoots, reached in to the bottom, took out the pheasant at the bottom of the basket, and placed it in front of everyone.
The fat black pheasant had its neck broken, and the red blood stains on its fur were eye-catching!
"Qingqing, sister, where did you find it?"
Everyone looked at Lu Qingqing with puzzled and delighted eyes. They just thought that Lu Qingqing was very capable in catching it, and they didn't doubt anything!
Lu Qingqing clapped her hands and said, "I'm lucky. It just happened to be stupid and bumped into me."
"It's a good thing it's stupid, so we can have pheasant soup to drink!" Yang Liuqing smiled and immediately picked up the pheasant.
It was heavy, probably about five or six kilograms. The smile in his eyes became even more intense, and he immediately rolled up his sleeves to boil water, kill the chicken and pluck its feathers.
In a short while, she had gutted the whole pheasant and processed it cleanly.
"This pheasant is very big. How do you want to eat it?" Yang Liuqing asked everyone when he was about to chop the chicken.
At this time, Lu Yuanzheng heard the noise and came out.
When he heard about the pheasant, his weak body suddenly perked up. He walked in front of everyone in just two steps. When he saw that Yang Liuqing was holding a yellow pheasant in his hand, his eyes widened and he said:
"Mom, where did the pheasant come from?"
"Qingqing caught it."
Lu Yuanzheng looked at Lu Qingqing, "Did you go hunting?"
Why didn't they invite him to such a good thing? It would be so unkind of them.
Lu Yuanzheng thought he had concealed it well, but he didn't know that his somewhat resentful and aggrieved expression was seen by everyone.
Lu Qingqing wanted to tease him, but when she saw that he was injured, she stopped joking with him.
"Brother, we didn't go hunting. We went to pick bamboo shoots. We caught this pheasant in the bamboo forest."
Lu Yuanzheng became excited: "Pheasants always appear in pairs. Have you looked for them nearby? Are there any more?"
"I don't know. Someone came before I had time to look for him." Without waiting for him to ask further, Lu Qingqing told him everything.
After hearing this, Lu Yuanzheng was very unhappy. "These disaster victims are really abominable. They didn't show up earlier or leave later, but they had to come when we were picking bamboo shoots. If they didn't come, we could pick more bamboo shoots and store them to eat slowly."
"Zheng'er, you can't think like that. Bamboo shoots are a gift from nature, and everyone can pick them. We will definitely meet more disaster victims on the way to Chongzhou City."
Yang Liuqing said to Lu Yuanzheng earnestly, "We are carrying so many things on the road. If they attack us, it will be too dangerous. Sometimes, leaving a little kindness to others is also saving yourself."
These disaster victims have been able to make it this far simply because they want to survive, so give them the chance to survive. Let them have enough food and water, and they will not come to steal things again.
However, these ideas ultimately ignore those lazy people who only care about food and love.
Yang Liuqing sought everyone's opinions, the minority obeyed the majority, and finally decided to make boiled chicken, eat the meat and drink the soup!
She had already cooked porridge for breakfast. The freshly picked bamboo shoots were very tender. After blanching them, she added chicken offal and chicken oil and stir-fried a large pot of it. When it was out of the pot, she sprinkled some chopped wild vegetables on it as a garnish, which made it look colorful, fragrant and delicious.
Perhaps the fragrance was too strong, Land Rover, which had been sleeping for a day and a night, finally woke up.
Lu Yuanzheng carefully helped him out, and the two girls immediately rushed forward and asked him questions out of concern.
Land Rover told them all!
But when the two girls get together, they always have endless topics to talk about. After asking one question, they will ask the next one and then another one.
Lu Qingqing was afraid that they would disturb her second uncle's rest, so she quickly took them to peel bamboo shoots.
The leaves of bamboo shoots are very easy to peel. Just use a knife to gently cut the outer skin, and then tear off the outer skin completely, and the white bamboo shoots will be revealed. At the same time, there will be a fresh fragrance of bamboo shoots!
Land Rover's wound was still painful, but after taking a few breaths of the fresh fragrance, the pain was gone!
The wounds on the Land Rover are healing quickly and it looks like there's nothing serious going on, but you still have to be careful with everything you do, otherwise it'll be troublesome if it cracks.
Yang Liuqing saw that Land Rover looked good, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground!
