Chapter 62
Nanzhi got up early the next day.
Touching her sore waist and abdomen, she felt a little strange.
Why do I still feel sore and backache after a good night's sleep?
After going to the backyard to check the situation of the food reserves, Nanzhi stretched and walked towards the front yard.
Just as I was about to clean up all the ashes from last night's burning, I saw nothing else on the ground except a few burnt incense candles.
Nanzhi looked around in the yard with a look of disbelief for a long time, but didn't see any ash.
"Auntie, what are you doing?" Shen Zhiyu asked in a daze while holding the door frame with one hand and rubbing his eyes with the other hand.
Grandma was looking for something in the yard, but she didn't wake up.
"Zhiyu, did you get up in the middle of the night to sweep the floor?"
Shen Zhiyu was stunned when he heard this. Why did he get up in the middle of the night to sweep the floor?
"No."
Looking at his son's stupid look, Nanzhi felt a little strange. Could it be that the wind was blowing last night on this hot day?
Otherwise, why are all the ashes in the yard gone?
But even if it's windy, there's no way there won't be any dust in the yard.
It's not like the dog got up in the middle of the night to sweep the floor...
Touching her sore waist and abdomen, Nanzhi curled her lips. Could it be that she was sleepwalking and got up to clean in the middle of the night last night?
She couldn't think of the reason, and Nanzhi didn't bother to worry about it anymore. No matter how clean it was, it was just fine now that she didn't have to clean it herself.
He called Shen Zhiyu to wash his face and clean his teeth together, and then he hugged the little guy's cheek and kissed him.
The little baby's face is soft. He has eaten better during this period, and the little guy's face finally has a little more flesh.
The scar that the cow got when he rolled over has now completely faded away, leaving only a light pink mark on his chin.
"Does your jaw still hurt?"
After touching his chin, Shen Zhiyu said with a smile, "It doesn't hurt."
Looking at the cute appearance of the little baby, Nanzhi felt very fond of it.
Breakfast was boiled potato paste, with some five-spice powder and meat oil added to it. After breakfast, the two of them, one big and one small, went out holding hands.
She didn't feel worried as she had food at home, but she was really hungry for meat.
River mussels are cold in nature, and eating too much will cause diarrhea. The river water is getting less and less. In the past two days, she can't even catch river shrimps, and eating them all makes her feel like they don't taste like meat.
Greedy Rou can only think of other ways.
Last night, she dreamed that she and Zhiyu went to eat at a food stall. She ate twenty skewers of mutton skewers alone.
When she got up early this morning, she thought about trying her luck on Dongshan Mountain. After all, dogs could pick up rabbits there before, and maybe she could catch them if she went there today.
"Auntie, shall we go catch rabbits?" After wiping the sweat from his forehead, Shen Zhiyu raised his face and looked at Nanzhi.
Now that the two of them were halfway up the mountain, Nanzhi felt that his whole body was sweating, hot, itchy, and very uncomfortable.
"Yes, we went to catch rabbits and caught Aniang making roast rabbits for you to eat."
When the little guy heard that he could have roast rabbit to eat, he immediately immersed himself in walking, walking even faster than Nazhi.
Seeing Shen Zhiyu running ahead with her short legs, Nanzhi held back a breath and tightened her backpack to keep up.
Spicy rabbit head, dry pot rabbit, braised rabbit meat, charcoal grilled rabbit legs, cold rabbit...
Keeping the recipe in mind, Nanzhi managed to walk all the way to the mountain.
Looking at the lush woods in front of him, Nanzhi plunged into it.
After more people in the village went up the mountain to pick chestnuts, not even a bird could be seen in the circle outside Dongshan. If she wanted to catch rabbits, she would have to take Zhiyu further inside.
"Mom, it's so cool in here." The little guy rushed into the forest and waved to Nanzhi.
Feeling the difference in temperature between the inside and outside of the forest, Nanzhi's head went blank.
She stretched out her hand to feel the temperature around her and suddenly turned her head to look behind her.
Although there is only a dozen meters away, it is more than three or four degrees cooler inside than outside.
With his mind full of roasted rabbit, Nanzhi didn't think much and took the dog for another walk inside.
After searching for a long time, I found a bunch of gnawed rabbit grass.
"Mom, what is this?" The little guy pushed aside the weeds and pointed to a few black "peas" on the side and said.
"That's rabbit daddy." Nanzhi said simply as she glanced at the thing her son was pointing at.
Shen Zhiyu blushed and stuck out his tongue. Why was this rabbit daddy so round? He thought it was some kind of fruit.
After rummaging around for a while and confirming that there were signs of rabbit activity, Nanzhi placed the backpack on the ground.
She had to move faster, otherwise the two of them would leave a smell if they stayed here for a long time. If there is a strange smell, the animals will be very alert.
"Auntie, are we waiting for Tutu to come over?" Shen Zhiyu was a little confused as she watched her own aunt start digging with a small shovel. What was she doing digging here?
"No, grandma is setting up a trap." Nanzhi wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although it was cooler inside than outside, the sweat couldn't stop flowing when he moved.
Although the little guy didn't know what the trap was, he saw his mother-in-law's serious look and didn't ask any more questions.
He just sat obediently and played with the little black ball on the ground with a wooden stick.
After digging for about two-quarters of an hour, Nanzhi looked at the deep pit in front of her and nodded with satisfaction. The pit was more than two feet deep and one and a half feet in diameter. She even deliberately lay down in the pit and patted it, removing the mud. After patting flat and firmly, start the next step.
I folded some thin wooden sticks from the surrounding area and stuck them at the entrance of the hole. I spread a thin layer of wild grass on them and covered the area around the hole with fallen leaves. It didn't look too obvious before Nanzhi took out a piece from his arms. The sweet potatoes come out.
Wild rabbits eat sweet potatoes, grandma told herself before.
After setting up the first trap, Nanzhi tied a hemp rope to a nearby tree trunk as a mark, then clapped his hands and led Shen Zhiyu to the next place.
Digging holes was too tiring, so she planned to make a few rope traps. After all, cunning rabbits have three burrows. What if those wild rabbits are in a bad mood and don't come here?
Following the signs of rabbit activity, Nanzhi set up several more rope traps along the way. Since this was his first actual combat, Nanzhi was afraid of not gaining anything, so he only let Shen Zhiyu touch the ropes one by one.
What is this called? This is called rational use of resources!
Even though she doesn’t have the system, space, and spiritual spring of the heroines in those novels, she does have a son from the European Emperor!
After leaving marks on each trap one by one, Nanzhi led Shen Zhiyu away.
She can just come up and check again in the evening.
Along the way, Nanzhi held the little guy's hand and hummed a song in a good mood. However, as soon as the two of them reached the chestnut forest, they saw a thin figure paralyzed on the ground.
