V1.Chapter 20

In the middle of the night, Yu Wan was awakened by a heat wave, and when she woke up, she found that Little Iron Dan had wet the bed.

Little Tie Dan has not wet the bed since he was two years old, but after eating dumplings last night and drinking three bowls of water, he finally managed to pee on the bed.

Yu Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly got up to change the quilt. She was about to wake up Mrs. Jiang, only to find Mrs. Jiang's heroic sleeping position.

Jiang shi was lying on his back, his left leg was slightly bowed, and his right ankle was casually resting on the knee of his left leg.

Yu Wan couldn't help but have a black line on her face, didn't she say she was a lady in the city? A good lady, slept for Mao and acted like a female bandit? !

Yu Wan closed her eyes: "My mother is a girl, my mother is a girl..."

In the end, Yu Wan changed all the beds, and was unable to wake up the lady Jiang.

...

Before dawn, Yu Wan woke up. After washing, she first went to the well shared by the village to fetch water, and then went to the uncle's house to cut some sweet potato vine leaves, which her hometown called hogweed. , When there are no leftovers, my aunt cuts them and feeds them to the pigs.

But halfway through, she remembered that there is no hogweed in winter.

She had to dig some cabbage and radishes in her own field.

The pig ate so well at Zhao's house that he disliked the cabbage and radish, but he was going to sell it soon.

Yu Wan only plans to sell half of it, and keep the remaining half to spend a good year with her uncle's family.

The day after tomorrow will be the day to go to the market. She can take advantage of these two days to dig more winter bamboo shoots, and then call the eldest brother and the second brother to net some fresh crucian carp, and then they can sell them at the market together.

After Yu Wan heated her breakfast in the pot, she brought tools and dry food to the backyard and went into the mountains.

Yu Wan had dug up all the bamboos near here. In order to dig up more tender and plump winter bamboo shoots, Yu Wan went deeper into the forest.

The bamboo in the middle section was either too old to produce bamboo shoots, or too tender to grow high-quality winter bamboo shoots well. Yu Wan moved forward patiently.

This bamboo forest is really big, Yu Wan's legs are sore from walking, and she hasn't walked out yet.

Simply, let her find bamboos that can be mined.

Yu Wan determined the position of the bamboo whip based on the direction of the bamboo leaves, squatted down, took out the shovel from the basket and was about to dig, but suddenly, an unusual movement came from not far away, like... something The sound of claws scratching.

Yu Wan's first reaction was - there was prey!

The prey of this deep mountain and old forest might be a beast. Yu Wan tightly held the hatchet for self-defense and walked vigilantly in the direction of the movement. However, when she got there, there was no such beast. ? There was clearly only a little snow fox trapped in the animal trap.

The cage is very old, with rust all around. It doesn't look like it's still used by hunters. Naturally, there is no bait. I don't know how this little snow fox locked himself in it.

Its tail was slightly wounded and its fur was bald.

Yu Wan looked at it with great interest, and began to estimate the "worth" of this snow fox, and sold it, wondering if she could get the money to go to the capital.

When Xiao Xuehu saw that someone was coming, he was not afraid. Instead, his swarthy eyes widened, showing a look of grievance.

Yu Wan laughed, opened the cage, and caught Xiao Xuehu out.

It was too late, but it was fast. When Yu Wan was about to find the rope to tie it, it kicked its legs violently, twisted its body, and slipped out of Yu Wan's palm.

It swooped into the depths of the bamboo forest!

"Want to run? It's not that easy!"

Yu Wan couldn't believe that she couldn't catch up with an injured young fox!

After running for a while, Yu Wan really caught up with it.

"You're still the little thing..." Yu Wan walked over with the back basket, and stopped halfway through her words, only to see that the little snow fox suddenly stopped moving, and along the opposite side of it, Yu Wan saw a low-lying grass , In the grass, there are seven or eight pheasants walking around.

These pheasants are much fatter than the pheasants she caught in the fields!

It is too rare to grow such a fat pheasant in winter.

"Is this little thing bringing me to find a pheasant?" Yu Wan was a little surprised.

As if to confirm Yu Wan's guess, Xiao Xuehu jumped off the grass to catch chickens.

"You're not big enough! What are you catching!"

It even scare the chickens away!

Yu Wan had no choice but to rush to catch the chicken.

Yu Wan caught a total of five, and each one was fat.

Xiaoxuehu nibbled at a chicken feather, but didn't catch a single one.

After that, Xiao Xuehu ran to a hare den again, and Yu Wan naturally followed, and caught two big fat hares along the way.

This young fox looked at Xiao Bu Laji, but did not expect to be so familiar with the old forest in the deep mountains. The harvest of this trip was worth the hundreds of catties of bamboo shoots she dug up.

Yu Wan glanced at the little snow fox, and for some reason, she was suddenly reluctant to sell it, so why not keep it?

The thought flashed, Yu Wan took out her dry food from the back basket - two big meat buns she made by herself.

Although the buns were a bit cold, the skin was thin and fleshy, exuding a very strong meat aroma.

Xiao Xuehu sat up straight and stared at the burden in Yu Wan's hands with green eyes.

"Do you want to eat?" Yu Wan asked badly.

Little Snow Fox took a step forward.

Yu Wan went to unpack the burden, and just halfway through, Xiao Xuehu's head suddenly turned, his little ears moved, and he didn't know what to hear, grabbed Yu Wan's burden, and ran away!

Yu Wan originally thought it was going to take herself to hunt again, but this time, it disappeared.

...

At the other end of the bamboo forest, the waterside pavilion is quiet.

In an elegant farmyard, the middle-aged man put down the burden on his shoulders, and he first went to see the little snow fox in the house.

Little Snow Fox obediently lay on the soft mat.

The middle-aged man hummed with satisfaction, then turned to the guard's handyman and said, "Young master is coming soon, you guys go make a fire first, and set the earth dragon on fire. I'll go and see what's there to eat."

"Yes!" The two servants responded respectfully.

The middle-aged man left, and after a while, he walked in with a changed expression: "Why are the chickens we raised gone?"

The handymen were confused.

No, I just fed it.

With a guilty conscience, Xiao Xuehu turned his back and hugged his half-bald little tail.

"Okay, you guys are hot!" The middle-aged man went out again, and after a quarter of an hour, he came back panting, "Why are there no rabbits?!"

Little Snow Fox silently covered herself with her tail.
