Song Wangyue untangles the vines.
Song San rolled and crawled away from her.
“Song Yi!”
Song Yi scrambled to answer, “Yes.”
“You two go and hunt some wildlife over here.”
“Yes.”
Song Yi put down his scythe, walked over to help Song San up and walked down the hill. He didn’t dare to look back until he was halfway up the hill and saw that Song Wan Yue really hadn’t followed him, so his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
Song San is no better than him, the feeling of falling to pieces at any time still lingers in his heart, “She, she is not human …… ……”
Song Yi covered his mouth and looked up the hill in horror, once again confirming that Song Wan Yue had not followed him before he dared to scold Song San, “You don’t want to die!”
Song San realized with alarm what he had said and covered his mouth in a panic.
It took a while for the two of them to regain some strength and go in search of their prey on weak legs and feet.
Although they were beggars, but mainly to steal money, every day after stealing the silver beggar head will give them a few dozen, so they can go to eat and drink a meal, so in a crowd of beggars, they are also considered to be “pampered”, how can they hunt? The two of them were starving, but they didn’t catch anything.
At the top of the hill, Song Wangyue got up and went down where the two had just gone down, and halfway up the hill she saw them leaning against a big rock, panting.
“What, didn’t catch it?”
The two men turned around sharply at her cry and saw that she was almost in front of them, their faces turned white with fear, and they opened their mouths just to explain-
“Shhh!”
The two were silenced and followed her line of sight to see two pheasants heading this way. The two instantly stood up straight, ready to pounce together, when there was a flash of a human figure in front of them, and the two pheasants were caught in Song Wangyue’s hands before they could make a sound.
The two men looked dumbfounded.
“Take it!”
Song Wangyue handed it over, and the two hurriedly reached out to catch it, holding it firmly in their arms, fearing that if they used less strength, the pheasant that had arrived would run away.
Song Wan Yue turned around and walked up the hill, the two of them honestly followed behind. When they got back to the top of the hill, without waiting for Song Wan Yue’s order, they automatically plucked the pheasant, cleaned out its innards, built a fire, took branches and skewered them, and roasted them on the fire.
It was their first time roasting, so they were so busy that one side was baked and the other was still raw.
“Watch!”
Song Wangyue sat over and twirled the branch, but a moment later, the fragrance emanated out, causing the rest of the group to gulp, unable to resist peeking this way, even Song Shen couldn’t resist.
“Come over and eat it all.”
The crowd immediately threw away the tools in their hands and gathered around. Song Wan Yue gave the roasted pheasant to Song Yi and Song San, who quickly tore off a piece and passed the rest on, leaving only a small piece of chicken meat when the last person was left.
Song Wan Yue looked at it and said, “From today onwards, every day from now on you will have to take care of your own breakfast, if you catch more prey, you will eat more, if you fail to catch you will go hungry, and ……”
She pointed to the whole mountain top, “Within five days, you will be leveled and swept clean, not even a tiny stone.”
Twelve men wailed in their hearts, an hour had passed and they had only cleared an area the size of a palm, five days would not be enough to clear it at all.
“Miss Song!”
Six guards went up to the top of the mountain, they had just heard from the Song family that Song Wangyue and Song Shen had taken their men up the mountain, they were afraid that something might happen to them and rushed over.
Song Wangyue did not move, “Have you eaten?”
One of the guards returned, “I’ve eaten.”
“What did you eat?”
“White porridge, steamed buns and fresh small vegetables.”
Every time he said something, Song Yi and the others gulped a little, not knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional last night, Song Wangyue hadn’t asked anyone to bring them dinner. They had been hungry from yesterday until just now, and although they had shared the chicken, it wasn’t enough to stuff their teeth.
The guards clearly heard the sound of gulping, and they vaguely understood what was going on.
Song Wangyue got up and called out to Song Shen to come down the hill.
Song Shen had not eaten the chicken earlier, he had long been hungry and rushed to follow at the word.
As she passed by several guards, Song Wangyue said, “Watch them, clear the mountain top in five days, and if you don’t finish it in five days, several of you won’t have to eat.”
The guards’ hearts and minds fluttered and they answered in unison.
When the two of them arrived at the bottom of the mountain, the villagers were already working feverishly.
Grandma Song had been looking in this direction, and when she saw the two coming, she went to the side of the carriage and brought out the basket, which had been covered with a quilt, containing the meal for the two, and found a place to put it, greeting the two, “You are hungry, come and eat.”
The two walked over to a bucket, scooped up water and washed their hands, came over and squatted down, Song Shen directly took a steamed bun and took a big bite, he was starving.
Grandma Song also picked one up and handed it to Song Wan Yue, and brought her chopsticks, watching the two eat with a kind face.
The old man, who was sitting under a tree drinking tea with several village elders, saw this and spilled the tea in his own teapot, went to the side to get some warm water and brought it over to Song Wan Yue.
Song Wan Yue took it and drank a few sips, and said to Grandma Song, “You can tell the people who cook the food later that they should cook for those people on the mountain at noon and put more meat in the dishes.”
Grandma Song agreed.
After she finished eating, Song Wan Yue went to the county with Song Lin and Xu.
On the way, Xu said she wanted to wait to go back to see Song San Xiao and Qi Ying, afraid that Song Wan Yue would be angry and made an excuse, “Your little uncle is also considered to be the one I grew up with, I am really worried about him and want to go and see him, so I will go on this trip and never interact with them again.”
“You can go, but you can’t pay the silver.”
Seeing that she was not upset, Xu replied, “I know, I know, I won’t pay. I won’t stay long either, a quarter of an hour at most.”
Song Lin parked the carriage on another street, Xu got off the carriage and walked to the front of the dart office, saw the door locked, paused and turned back.
Song Lin’s heart sank when he saw her return so quickly, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s locked. ”
Then it wasn’t an accident, Song Lin was relieved and helped Xu into the carriage, “Maybe she went out to buy something, I’ll send you over again this afternoon.”
The three of them went to the mansion, Xu and Song Wan Yue had just gotten off the carriage when the boy guarding the door came up to report and told Xu and Song Wan Yue to go to Meng’s courtyard.
Xu nodded and went with Song Wan Yue to Meng’s courtyard. As soon as they entered, they saw a woman sitting in the room, and the woman also saw them and hurriedly stood up, “Madam, Miss Song, the three Song brothers have asked me to ask for the recipe for cold skin and spicy skewers.”
The woman was Xu Laosan’s daughter-in-law.
“You wait.”
Song Wangyue asked Sister Wu to bring over a pen and paper, and she quickly wrote down the two recipes and handed them to Xu Laosan’s daughter-in-law.
Xu Laosan’s daughter-in-law took them, folded them up and carefully put them in her arms, “Brother Song San has moved, he said that when he learns, he will go and set up a stall, so you should not go to the market to see him in the future.”
