Chapter 448 Hunting
The people took the medicinal powder ground by the second master and carefully sprinkled it on the smelly dead rat carcasses, and then poured some wine on them.
"Everyone, please cover your mouth and nose to avoid inhaling the smell of smoke."
As the second master spoke, he motioned for everyone to cover their mouths and noses. Seeing that they all took action, he threw the torch over.
The torch circled in the air a few times, but the moment it fell, a burst of blue light emerged from the piled rat corpses, and then flames shot up from the ground, wrapping the stinking and horrible corpses.
Looking at the burning fields, the people in the village had somewhat complicated expressions. In the end, they just stood there and stared for a while, and then went back to their houses.
The rats were gone, but they still had to go up the mountain to hunt.
Although there was food sent by General Shen, they were unwilling to use the food unless it was absolutely necessary.
When we were in Qingfeng Village, there was never any shortage of food rations in the village. Now in this village, we are definitely not in need of help from others.
And even if they are "bandits", they are also sensible bandits.
The household registrations of hundreds of people in the village have been settled in this village. They already owe General Shen a huge favor. Now there is a food shortage in Yancheng. How can they be embarrassed to have a few hundred kilograms of rice here? move?
"Yuanbao, you can stay in the village today." The second master said hesitantly when he saw Yuanbao starting to tie his sleeves.
Although this little girl has the skills of a three-legged cat and can kill mice, if she really wants to go to the mountain, I'm afraid she will have to have someone specially protect her.
The current situation is not like it was in Qingfeng Village.
Now that everyone is making trouble, it's hard to let her lose her temper anymore. The most important thing is to go hunting and get back to the village as soon as possible.
"Second uncle, I know kung fu and won't hold you back!"
When Yuan Bao heard that the second master wouldn't let her go, his face suddenly fell.
She can also help!
Yueyue can help sew clothes and coats in the village, but if she stays in the village, she can't do anything!
After going to the mountains, she might even be able to shoot two sparrows and come back!
"That won't work. There is a rat infestation now. Those rats are hiding in the mountains. What if you get injured? And there are few prey in the mountains now. Everyone has to go deep into the mountains. If you go, you still have to go. Let them protect you. And with your slingshot, what can you catch?"
The second master rarely became serious and was not willing to give in at all.
"I can shoot sparrows!"
It was rare for the little girl to be spoken to harshly, and now her face turned red.
"That's not okay! I let you take risks for a few sparrows. Your father will kill me when he comes back!"
The second master didn't say anything more, just waved his hand and returned to his yard.
When the brothers go hunting in the mountains, he also has to prepare some insect-repelling herbs for them to wear.
Even if you can't catch any prey, you still have to come back safely.
The eldest brother and the others have been out for three days. Now in the village, except for the village chief of Tianjia Village who is in charge of the original villagers in this village, even he, the second in charge of the village, can still protect them.
The original agreement with the villagers of Tianjia Village was that they would settle here and teach the villagers how to make wine.
But now that we have encountered a rat infestation, we can’t make any money from brewing wine. Of course, the biggest benefit is food.
The eldest brother and the others went to look for herbs, and he was going to protect the village so that no more mistakes could happen.
"Yuanbao, my second uncle is right. It's dangerous in the mountains. It's best for you to be in the village."
Xiao Qi walked up to Yuan Bao at some point. Looking at the stubborn little girl, he pursed his lips and said this in a low voice.
"Not at all!"
The little girl was already aggrieved, but now she was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and her hair was blown.
After just shouting this, he stamped his feet and ran away.
Watching her leave, Xiao Qi felt a little annoyed and only regretted why she had talked so much again.
Looking at the small wooden sword she had just hidden behind her, Xiao Qi narrowed her eyes.
He just saw it on the ground when he went to the compound.
This sword was specially made for Yuan Bao by the headmaster. Although it was made of wood, it was very easy to use.
Yuan Bao usually likes it very much, but he didn't expect it to fall on the ground.
Seeing the blood on it clearly, Xiao Qi also guessed that the little girl didn't have time to go back to get the slingshot, so she just went to clean the small wooden sword while everyone was by the field.
But he didn't expect that he just wanted to return the sword and made her angry again.
The little boy was a little worried, but the large army was ready to go up the mountain, so he only hung the small wooden sword at the door of Yuanbao's room.
You'll see her when she comes back.
Thinking like this, Xiao Qi quickly followed.
The troops who went up the mountain left the cold wooden sword hanging alone on the door.
Although Yuan Bao was unhappy in his heart, he was not an arrogant little kid. He had just picked up the small slingshot, and now he thought of his small wooden sword.
Bian Dian ran to the compound.
"Auntie, have you seen my little wooden sword?"
Yuan Bao walked around in the yard several times but didn't see his little baby, and now he became a little anxious.
There are a lot of dolls in the village. If, if they were to pick them up, or if someone saw them, they would take them home and burn them as firewood...
The more she thought about it, the more scared she became, and there was a hint of crying in the little girl's tone.
"Yuanbao, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?" Aunt Li had just changed the medicine for the patient. Now she saw Yuanbao sobbing and about to cry, and she suddenly became nervous.
"My, my little wooden sword, I can't find it."
Yuan Bao wiped away tears, his eyes were pitifully red.
"Yuanbao is good, let's not be in a hurry. Maybe, maybe one of the brothers saw it and thought it was fun and borrowed it to play with."
Aunt Li coaxed Yuan Bao with gentle words, but her face looked a little embarrassed.
After being married here for more than ten years, she still knows what the children in the village are like.
This village is located in a remote location, and there were originally few people living there. Later, in addition to Yuanbao and the others, some people who settled in the village were people who suffered from natural disasters.
To be honest, there are not many good children in this village.
If Yuan Bao's small wooden sword was really picked up by them, they don't know what it would be like.
After staying in the courtyard for a while, Yuan Bao wiped away his tears and went to the east end of the village.
The small wooden sword could not be found, but there was not enough food in the village, so she had to help.
Even if the second uncle and the others don't take him to the mountain, he can still shoot some sparrows down.
In the past, the aunts in the village would hang some pheasants and rabbits in the yard and cook them in winter.
Although sparrows are small, they can still be counted as meat to some extent.
The little girl thought to herself and became more serious.
