Regardless of the reason for the habit, Cheng Mingyue has no problem with the idea of filial piety to the elderly. As for whether he does it or not, there is no right to say.
After lunch, Mingyi took a nap, adjusted her mental state and went into the mountains with her brother again. This time, Cheng Mingyi and his brothers also followed. The mountains were lush and forested, and there was no shortage of game. They wanted to go in and try to find their luck. If they were lucky, It's good to catch two, so the family can have an extra bite of meat.
After walking for a while without seeing any game, Cheng Mingxin became a little impatient and said, "Brothers, let's go separately. It will be easier to find game if we search in a wider area."
Cheng Minglian said: "If you want to separate, then separate. I will follow my little cousin."
Cheng Mingli:
Cheng Mingyi: You're quite strange.
"The mountain is too big to be separated." Cheng Mingyi flatly objected.
Cheng Mingli's brother and sister breathed a sigh of relief. They had no intention of taking care of their children; Cheng Minglian was not as stable as Cheng Mingli and was not good at kung fu. They really didn't want to be a burden.
"What my cousin said is right, and what my brother said is also right. They all make sense." Cheng Mingzhi said.
Mingyi gave her second cousin a thumbs up. He was a reserved and smart man who could point out important points without offending others. As expected, speaking is an art.
People like my third cousin who have a straight temper and say whatever they think are most likely to offend others.
Cheng Mingli remained silent.
Cheng Mingxin was anxious, "There are so many people walking in one direction, and even game will scare them away."
As soon as Cheng Mingxin finished speaking, Cheng Mingzhi looked up at Cheng Mingyi, waiting for him to make a decision.
Mingyi just wanted to say something like a chicken thief.
"Dear cousins, my brother and I will go together. I have a tacit understanding with my brother. You can discuss the rest." Mingyi suddenly said, no matter what, she and her brother didn't want to go with several cousins.
Everyone has their own thoughts, which is annoying.
"Yes, I often cooperate with my sister. We work best together when catching game."
Cheng Mingli agreed, and several of his cousins were surprised. They had seen Mingyi fall out as soon as he said she wanted to, so Cheng Mingyi knew enough not to join in and spoil the fun.
If he dared to open his mouth to spoil the show, she would dare to perform something even more disappointing for him on the spot.
It was the same last time in the mountains. Their older brothers wanted to take their younger brothers and sisters with them; firstly, they were afraid that they would not be safe in the mountains because they were too small, which made people uneasy; secondly, they wanted to avoid them becoming a burden. , just stay with me and be honest and content.
The intention was good, but Mingyi didn't buy it.
In this case, it is useless no matter how much they say, why bother to feel uncomfortable.
"Then you should be smarter in the mountains and leave quickly if you encounter danger." Cheng Mingyi warned.
Mingyi nodded repeatedly, "I understand, my brother and I both know. Thank you cousins for your concern."
"That's all." Cheng Mingyi looked at the two of them and sighed, with a mentality of being treated like a donkey with good intentions.
Cheng Minglian approached with a smile, "Little cousin, little cousin, bring your brother with you; my brother can help you carry the prey and help you fight the siege."
"Third cousin, my brother and I can trot very fast." So, there's no need to do that.
"Think about it~" Cheng Minglian continued, licking his face.
Cheng Mingli said with a smile: "Third cousin, it's not that we don't take you, it's that my sister and I moved too fast. Even if we agree to you, it will be in vain if you can't keep up with us."
"How could I not keep up?" It was clearly a shirk.
"Anyway, you just can't keep up." Mingyi laughed and said, "First cousin, second cousin, third cousin, fourth cousin, my brother and I will take the first step, and you can discuss it slowly."
If you have this little time to argue, it’s better to walk a little longer. Maybe you can find game along this stretch.
The brother and sister did not use Qinggong, but only used their internal strength during the running process. They ran easily and fast, leaving the four cousins stunned.
Cheng Minglian asked disbelievingly: "Am I dazzled?"
"It's not that you are dazzled, it's that we are all dazzled." Cheng Mingxin closed his slightly opened mouth manually and stared at the forest for a moment before looking back. They could no longer see their figures before looking back, "So, they are looking for game in the mountains. Because you run fast?"
Cheng Mingzhi dislikes his younger brother a lot, "You can't catch him even if you run fast."
"Brother, are you still my brother?"
"I prefer Mingli to be my younger brother."
Cheng Mingxin shut up, if he kept talking he would have no brother.
Cheng Mingyi recovered from the shock and said belatedly, "They can run faster than rabbits!"
"Brother, they might have been rabbits in their last life." Cheng Minglian was severely hit. At their speed, he really couldn't catch up!
The brothers sighed blankly. It's no wonder that their cousins didn't let them play, they couldn't outrun the rabbit!
Once you enter the mountains and forests, you feel like a fish in water.
The two of them didn't need to cooperate specifically, but they caught two wild rabbits in one cup of tea, the kind that were from the same nest.
Carrying the rabbits, they continued to walk deeper into the hinterland, and there were more harvests one after another. After walking for more than an hour, they stopped, carrying six rabbits and three pheasants in their hands.
Cheng Mingli looked sideways and asked, "Sister, there are so many rabbits and pheasants, what should we do if we didn't bring so much seasoning when we came out?"
"Bake as much as you like, clean up the rest and take it home." Mingyi looked at the meat and smiled from ear to ear, "Go back when you're full."
With so much meat, you can't keep it for a long time. Although the climate along the coast is relatively cool, it hasn't rained in more than two months. If it doesn't rain, this place will also become a disaster area. She needs to prepare in advance.
Mingyi sent Cheng Mingli to barbecue in the middle of the afternoon. She went hunting and found some wild vegetables to store. As she walked, she came to the edge of the mountains and forests of Shuzhou. The drought situation in the mountains and forests had already affected Shu. The mountains and forests on this side of the state are quite long.
The sun is shining brightly.
If this continues, their side will also be affected.
Mingyi hurriedly grabbed some game and threw it into the space. As the sun set, Mingyi used his Qinggong skills to shuttle through the forest. After walking for an hour, it only took him less than half an hour to return.
"Brother, I'm back. Is the meat roasted?"
Cheng Mingli raised his eyes and chuckled, "Okay, if you don't come back, the rabbit meat won't be tender anymore."
"Began to eat."
He sat down next to Cheng Mingli. There were three sticks on the campfire stand. The sticks were roasted rabbits. There were two dead rabbits and three pheasants beside him. Mingyi handed one to Cheng Mingli first.
"Brother eat."
"Okay, you can eat too." Cheng Mingli took it with a smile. Seeing her take another rabbit and chew it, he lowered his head and started to eat.
Of the three rabbits, Mingyi ate more than one and a half to fill his stomach and put out the fire. He picked up the game and returned to the base. By the time he arrived at the base, night had already completely fallen.
Chen Daya, Cheng Yuanxi and others were relieved when they saw the brother and sister returning through the night.
Chen Daya stepped forward and took the game from their hands, and asked with a straight face: "Why have you been gone for so long? You didn't come back until dark."
"Mom, don't be angry. My brother and I have gone a little further. If we catch two more wild animals, we can have one more bite." Mingyi said with a smile, her hands behind her back.
