Chapter 12 Dad, you seem to have scared the roe deer to death?
Xu Ning, who hadn't climbed a tree for more than ten years, suddenly felt a sense of familiarity after the silly roe deer stepped into the trap, and he slid down from the crooked tree smoothly.
"Dad! Dad!" Xu Ning ran back into the cave excitedly, pulled the dozing Xu Da over and ran towards the trap!
"Dad, what a big roe deer!" The call for barbecue rang in Xu Ning's mind, and even the food BGM that he used to play often started playing!
When Xu Da heard that prey had fallen into the trap, all the sleepy people ran away at once. The moment he stood up, he was pulled by Dali's daughter and staggered!
"Don't worry! You can't escape once you've fallen into the trap!"
The father and daughter ran to the edge of the trap and saw the stupid roe deer kicking its legs. The roe deer at the edge of the trap saw two humans with green eyes staring at it and died out of fright.
"Dad, you seem to have scared the roe deer to death?"
"Nonsense, the roe deer died from excessive blood loss. Daya, go get grandma and come over. We need to rebury the trap, otherwise the strong smell of blood will easily attract other wild animals!"
Xu Ning took a look at the roe deer that Xu Da had pulled out of the trap. It looked to weigh about thirty or forty kilograms. Xu Ning tried to lift it with his hands and he picked it up without much effort.
"Dad, I'm going back first!" Xu Ning picked up the silly roe deer and turned to leave. Xu Da looked at him blankly, then quickly set a trap and chased after him.
At the other side of the cave entrance, the other members of the Xu family and Feng were woken up by Xu Ning's yelling and were waiting at the cave entrance.
As soon as Xu Ning approached the cave, Old Lady Xu came up to him.
"Daya, why is there so much blood?"
"Grandma, it's not mine, it's all the blood of the silly roe deer! Grandma, hurry up and get the knife, let's kill the roe deer! We'll have barbecue tonight!" Xu Ning grinned as he held the silly roe deer. After getting the order from Grandma Xu, he continued to hold the silly roe deer towards the stream on the other side of the cave. Xu Dabao quickly took the only kitchen knife and the bamboo basket woven by Grandpa Xu and caught up.
In the end, Xu Ning took the silly roe deer to the stream to wash off the blood, and then Xu Da, who had checked other traps and was carrying a rabbit, dealt with it together.
Seeing that he couldn't help much, Xu Ning washed himself and his clothes together.
Old Mrs. Xu was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she asked her to go back to the cave and ask Zhang for some clean clothes to wear.
After Xu Ning returned to the cave and saw Feng, he remembered mugwort. After changing his clothes, he hurried out to pick a handful.
"Grandma, do you know this herb?" Xu Ning came to the stream again with mugwort in his arms.
"Mugwort?" Old Mrs. Xu took it and smelled it. When she confirmed that it was mugwort, she smiled and praised Xu Ning.
Xu Ning felt embarrassed by being praised by Old Lady Xu. He told her to make some soup for Feng and then went to watch Xu Da butchering the roe deer.
Xu Ning remained excited about having meat to eat the whole afternoon. She had eaten roe deer meat several times in her previous life, both fried and braised, and it tasted very delicious!
And braised rabbit!
Thinking about being able to eat as much meat as he wanted in the evening, Xu Ning felt a little elated!
Near dusk, Xu Da had already skinned the rabbit and hung it in the cave, waiting for Li the Hunter to come back and prepare it. However, when it was almost dark, no one waited for Li the Hunter to come back!
Feng's mouth was originally bloodless, and as the night grew darker, Feng's whole body began to stagger.
The Xu family was also very anxious. Xu Ning couldn't help but climb up the crooked tree with a telescope in the last ray of light and look for the figure of Li the Hunter.
Xu Ning turned on the infrared and adjusted the focus several times, and finally saw Li the Hunter who had returned with a full load.
"Dad! Grandma! Uncle Li is back!" Xu Ning slid down the crooked tree again and told everyone the good news that Hunter Li was back.
Hunter Li caught a lot this time. The reason why he came back late was that he happened to encounter a wild ginseng on the way back, and he was late because he was digging for it.
"Auntie, Brother Xu, I'm so sorry, I was confused. We can dig the ginseng tomorrow!"
"Hey, I'm glad you're okay! Go and comfort your wife. She's very worried about you." Old Mrs. Xu patted Li the Hunter's arm and turned around to prepare dinner.
"Brother Li, I caught a silly roe deer with a trap this afternoon! There was also a wild rabbit. The meat has been processed, and the skin is waiting for you to clean up!"
"I still have a few rabbits and pheasants here. Brother Xu, please help me shave the meat. I..."
"Go quickly!" Xu Da pushed Li the hunter towards Feng. Zhang, who had been comforting Feng, returned to her husband to help.
"Hey!" Li the hunter took two quick steps back to his wife. He didn't dare hug her because there was still blood on her body. He could only keep comforting her.
"Wife, I was wrong. I will definitely come back before dark next time!" Feng wiped her eyes and finally burst into laughter when she saw her husband's helpless look.
The Xu family breathed a sigh of relief, but Xu Ning complained that he was starving.
While everyone was busy, Xu Ning secretly took out the barbecue ingredients from the treasure box and gave them to Old Mrs. Xu. In the end, the two families had a barbecue dinner together!
"Auntie! The ingredients are so delicious!" Hunter Li praised the barbecue ingredients.
"The cooking skills of Xu's eldest daughter-in-law are just a mess." Old Mrs. Xu casually passed the blame to Xu Ning's mother.
Zhang and Xu Da looked at each other. Li the Hunter did not ask or explain, but silently ate the fragrant barbecue in his hand!
The two babies of the Xu family didn't even open their mouths to speak, their mouths were full of oil.
Old Man Xu watched with a smile on his face, and Mrs. Feng felt satisfied with the happy atmosphere in the cave.
Xu Ning was stroking his meat, and he laughed so hard when he heard what Old Lady Xu said. Isn't this just nonsense? Haha...
After dinner, Xu Ning was so tired after climbing up and down all day that he fell asleep immediately. Xu Dabao wanted to help the adults, but was sent away by Old Lady Xu to sleep with Xu Xiaobao.
Old Man Xu was the oldest and not in high spirits. Like Mrs. Feng, he only ate a few pieces of barbecue and drank a large bowl of wild vegetable and egg soup before going to bed early due to health reasons.
At this time, Old Lady Xu was still helping Zhang to pickle the pheasants and rabbits brought back by Hunter Li, while Hunter Li was in charge of preparing the skins.
Xu Da kept some of the meat to eat tomorrow morning, and roasted the rest into jerky for easy carrying.
The next day, Xu Ning opened his eyes that were covered with eye boogers and opened his mouth, almost sending himself to death.
I have a sore throat! And I haven’t brushed my teeth for three days!
Xu Ning wiped the eye boogers and came to his senses. Hey, it’s more than just three days since I last brushed my teeth.
Forget it, Xu Ning lay back down.
Old Mrs. Xu is old and suffers from internal heat more obviously, so I stewed a pot of wild vegetable and meat soup for her in the morning!
Xu Ning could hardly taste the food while holding the bowl. After he finished eating, he pulled Xu's second child into the bushes.
Although they had a comfortable time in the mountains for the past two days, both families knew that they had to quickly flee to a suitable place to survive, as it was not feasible to survive in the mountains for a long time.
The deep mountains are not as peaceful as I saw in the past two days. This is the territory of wild beasts and it is easy to be targeted if you are not careful. In addition, there are many elderly, weak, women and children in the two families, so it is not safe.
Xu Ning was reluctant to part with the little red fruit and bargained with the treasure chest until he was able to exchange 100 points for one square meter of storage space, the kind that keeps the fruit fresh.
The second child of the Xu family knew that this was the box given by the god Xu Ning. When he saw Xu Ning throwing the picked small red fruits into the box, he also helped to put them in.
"Daya? Dabao and Xiaobao! Stop picking them! It's time for us to go!" Zhang had already packed her luggage, and Old Lady Xu asked her to call the three little ones back.
Xu Ning looked at the bushes reluctantly. Goodbye, her little red fruits!
After getting out of the mountains, Hunter Li found a complete cart. The two families decided that Xu Da would push the cart, and the luggage and food would be covered with quilts. Then Old Man Xu, a few children, and Feng would sit on the cart to block the way. Hunter Li would be responsible for holding a bow and arrow to lead the way, while Old Lady Xu and Zhang would walk around the cart.
Xu Ning did not dare to let his guard down and used a telescope to observe the surroundings every few steps.
There were many refugees on the road who were too hungry to walk, and they kept stretching out their hands to beg passers-by.
Old Mrs. Xu looked very unhappy. She leaned close to Xu Ning and Xu Xiaobao, using her body to block them from seeing.
