Mingyi and Mingli brother and sister arrived on the grass. One was guarding the meat to be dried, while the other ran to collect wild vegetables and water.
The cooked meat was very clean, and it was basically dry after being left in the sun; at least it tasted dry when eaten. Mingyi thought it lacked flavor, but Mingli thought it was delicious.
"Sister, there's no need to continue drying the meat, it's just right to eat now."
"Two more days in the sun to avoid mold." Mingyi insisted, and Mingli stopped talking. Two more days in the sun would be a good idea.
However, the meat has already been exposed to this extent, so the meat must be put away at night; if it is stained with morning dew, it will become damp and not taste good, and it will also be prone to mold in the future.
After that, they were exposed to the sun for two consecutive times, and they were packed in cloth bags and placed here at night. They came over to dry them the next day, and after they were dried, they called Cheng Yuanxi and divided them up several times, using the excuse of wild vegetables to transport them back and hide them.
Mingyi and Mingli each hid a small bag. When packing the remaining dried meat, Mingyi passed part of it into the space. Anyway, the meat would shrink after drying, so the missing part would not be visible.
She and her brother would eat some from time to time. The brother didn't pay much attention to it, but it gave her a chance to act.
Chen Daya hid the large bag of clothes in the bag of clothes. Later, she found the oilcloth that had been hidden and divided the bag of dried meat into several parts to wrap them up; with the oilcloth, separate them Hiding can prevent the resurgence of moisture to the greatest extent, and there is no need to worry about mold in a short period of time.
After getting such a big piece of dried meat, Chen Daya didn't ask his children, but only pulled Cheng Yuanxi to interrogate them.
"Tell me, where do you get so much meat?"
Cheng Yuanxi helplessly pulled her to lower her voice, and the two of them murmured in the wooden shed, "It's none of my business here. It's our family, Mingli and Yiyi, who beat up three big cats. It's hard to bring the meat back; just leave it there." If you cook it outside and dry it in the sun, then when you bring it back, I'll just peel it and cut it into pieces, and the rest has nothing to do with me."
"Can they beat the big cat?!" Chen Daya frowned and said with a stern face, "You are coaxing me to play."
"I'm really not trying to trick you. It was two of our children who did it. As for how it was done, don't ask any more questions. They got a chance in this mountain. Take whatever they give you in the future and don't ask any more questions." Cheng Yuanxi solemnly warned.
Chen Daya couldn't believe that her son and daughter could beat the big cats.
"Okay, don't think too much, they both have a sense of proportion."
"No, I have to ask if they have any chance to beat the big cats." After all, Chen Daya still didn't believe what her husband said.
Cheng Yuanxi hurriedly grabbed people to comfort them, "Okay, okay, my son and daughter are getting older and have their own ideas. We parents can just watch them. As long as they are not in danger, we don't need to worry about them."
"But..." How could she not be worried about the meat falling from her body.
Cheng Yuanxi understood Chen Daya's worries. He was also worried, but he would not let this worry lose his heart and sense of proportion. There was obviously a secret between his children and he just didn't want to tell them. In that case, he stopped asking.
"They are filial and sensible, and have the ability to survive. Let them develop." His wife was also afraid that her children would alienate her. He had had this thought before, but after he figured it out, he no longer had such uncomfortable thoughts. " From now on, if you have me with you, let them play if they want, as long as they know to come back every night."
Chen Daya looked at her husband's handsome face close at hand, and couldn't help but feel a bit of nostalgia in her eyes. She stared at him for a long time before speaking.
"I listen to you, let them go if they want, we won't ask any more questions; but I want to know whether they really have the ability to protect themselves, or at least how they can protect themselves, so that I can feel confident."
"Okay, I'll ask them to come in, and we'll ask together." Cheng Yuanxi stood up and walked out of the wooden shed, looking at his children who were having fun playing by the water, "Mingli, come here Yiyi."
"father."
"father."
The brother and sister trotted over.
Cheng Yuanxi knelt down and stared at the two of them seriously, "Enter the wooden shed, your mother has something to ask you."
The brother and sister looked at each other and roughly guessed what they wanted to ask; they didn't intend to hide it, but they just needed a chance.
Stepping into the wooden shed, Cheng Yuanxi sat next to Chen Daya.
Chen Daya looked at the pair of children and said seriously, "Ming Li, Ming Yi, how did you kill the big cat?"
"Mom, it wasn't me who beat her to death, it was my sister who beat her to death." After Cheng Mingli finished speaking, his mother gave him a look of disgust. Cheng Mingli understood instantly that it was useless for her to dislike him.
Cheng Mingli shut up silently and raised his eyes to look at his father.
Cheng Yuanxi spread his hands and lied in order to comfort his wife; who knew that his son had never been through anything and the secret was exposed as soon as he came, and he revealed it himself.
All I can say is, stupid.
"Mom, Dad, I know what you want to ask." Mingyi spoke openly, but concealed some details, "My brother and I discovered the cave we live in now, so you two should know."
"I know." Chen Daya nodded and motioned for her to continue.
Cheng Yuanxi suddenly realized that he had gotten an incredible opportunity in the cave?
Mingyi said: "We met an expert in the cave. He must have come back to take a look. But when he saw my brother and me, he thought I was gifted and a martial arts prodigy, so he taught me everything. My brother also learned it, but he did it by the way."
"What kind of master? Where is he?" None of them had seen him.
Mingyi picked up a stone as big as the palm of his hand. With a movement of his inner strength, the stone turned into ashes.
Cheng Yuanxi and Chen Daya were stunned.
Cheng Mingli buried his head and suppressed laughter. It was quite interesting how his sister was fooling people; it was not appropriate to show martial arts secrets, and they had no intention of letting the entire Cheng family practice martial arts.
It doesn't matter if there is a master with a provenance, the martial arts secrets will not be exposed.
"Good guy! My dear daughter, you are also a martial arts master now!" Cheng Yuanxi was amazed again and again, "Come on, let me see how my dear daughter became a martial arts master. How long have I known your master? Now that you can do it, it seems that your master is really a master of martial arts."
Mingyi nodded proudly, "Master uses some good medicinal materials to regulate my body. The medicinal materials can increase internal strength; that's why it's so powerful."
"Okay, okay, good girl, you are really up to date." Cheng Yuanxi was convinced now.
There was a smile in Chen Daya's eyes. With her daughter's ability to protect herself, she really didn't worry about danger in the mountains and forests.
"No wonder you can kill a big cat, it's really powerful." After saying that, Chen Daya turned his eyes to his son, "Ming Li, what about you?"
Cheng Mingli smiled and said coquettishly, "Mom, I just learned, and I'm not as talented as my sister."
"Then follow your sister, Yiyi is young, you are the brother and you have to protect her." Whether you can rely on force or not, you can still rely on your brain.
"Understood, I will protect her and prevent others from having bad ideas on her."
Cheng Mingli practiced this sentence for the rest of his life.
