Perhaps it was Jiang Nian's prayer that God let go of the horse. The weather was fine the next day, and the old farmers relaxed a little more.
The village chief and his family have mixed feelings, as the harvest will be harvested in five or six days. The weather is fine, half of the food supply can be saved, and taxes can be paid, which is a life saver. But their family has already spent all their efforts to buy grains.
We can only think on the bright side, they are not worried about going hungry.
Aunt Yan's family was also murmuring. Their family was not as crazy as the village chief's family. They only bought a few bags of grains, which was not enough to hurt their muscles and bones.
What she muttered was, why did she trust Jiang Yue's words so much in the first place? I subconsciously followed her will. It was obvious that the other party was just a teenage girl...
Every family has its own joy, and every family has its own sadness.
Jiang Yue used oilcloth to make two spare raincoats, which would not affect her movements and were much better than the bulky raincoats.
The two of them immediately entered the mountains again.
She painted the rabbits and pheasants that she had hunted before and hung them under the eaves to dry. She was going to make more bacon, so she planned to stay in the mountains for two days and one night today.
Some dry herbs that had been concocted in bits and pieces were lying in the corner, and she didn't know when she would need them. In short, the more the merrier.
She and the cub were working together more and more tacitly. One of them was digging herbs and traps, while the other was hunting.
By mid-afternoon, when the sky was getting dark, she stopped and hurriedly found a cave to hide.
There were some dead bodies of small animals in the cave that had been dried and looked a little disgusting. She wore a mask, half-closed her eyes, swept it clean with branches, and then lit a fire in the hole.
Even in summer, the nights in the mountains are still quite cool.
Jiang Yue sharpened two branches, put one on fish and one on hare, and put them by the fire to roast.
After a while, the skin and meat turned brown, and the oil sizzled and dripped down along the texture of the meat. Then sprinkle with special barbecue seasonings, and the aroma fills the entire valley.
She was worried that Jiang Nian wouldn't be used to chili peppers, so she only added a little bit.
"Try it."
He lowered his head, took a bite of the rabbit, chewed it, and swallowed it. After a while, he stuck out his red tongue.
"Are you spicy?"
He nodded.
Jiang Yue smiled. It seemed that Dazai was going to lose a lot of the joy of delicious food.
Fortunately, she only sprinkled half of it and each of them ate one side. One bite of meat and one bite of steamed buns, it's a bit like camping in the wild, it tastes so good!
Jiang Yue brought up the mattress from the thatched cottage at the foot of the mountain and slept on it underneath. She has decided that she will never bring this one with her when she enters the new house. It's so dirty that she despises it.
Jiang Nian still turned into a wolf and slept. Fortunately, at this time, the warmth on his body dispelled the coldness. Jiang Yue huddled in his arms and slept comfortably.
Jiang Nian's wolf body is getting bigger and bigger, and now it can wrap her up airtight.
There was no mirror to look at here, and she didn't know what her body looked like.
Looking at my wrists and ankles, I seem to be a little fatter than when I first wore them, and my clothes are also a little shorter, which is not very obvious. It seems that I have grown taller.
It only took a month to make up for it, and the results are so quick. Xiao Jiangyue's potential is quite good.
She happily buried her face in Jiang Nian's chest and went to sleep.
As he was feeling sleepy, several long wolf howls came from the valley.
She was awakened. At this time, Jiang Nian also raised his head and called out. He didn't know whether it was a response or what he meant.
The howl of the wolf in her ears was clearer and more profound, and it struck a deeper chord in her soul.
It is said that wolves can't help but howl in response when they hear other wolves howling, which is a social behavior; it is said that wolves are social animals; it is said that wolves are warlike, wild and untamable...
Jiang Nian just howled, licked her face, and lay down again.
Jiang Yue also closed her eyes, but her sleepiness had long gone. She had a lot to think about, which kept her up all night.
At dawn in the morning, she got up, brushed her teeth and washed her face, and found that she was still very energetic.
She went to find the traps she had dug before and found a lot of results. Most were hares, pheasants, and some animals she couldn't recognize. She didn't dare to touch those, so she only took what she wanted.
When Jiang Nian was about to continue hunting, Jiang Yue called out to him.
"Big boy, don't go."
Jiang Nian tilted his head and looked at her, not knowing why.
She touched her soft and hard neck, "I forced you to eat cooked food and get used to the human way of life because I wanted to live with you. However, now I feel that I have gone too far and should not torture you."
"Big Zai, you are the king of the forest. You are born to belong to nature. I know that you actually prefer living in the mountains to the outside world."
Every time someone outside approached, Jiang Nian wanted to show his fangs.
She forced the other person to change, just because she wanted him to survive the natural disaster.
But now she doesn't know whether this is right or wrong. Each population has its own way of life, and killing nature is a terrible thing.
"I will set you free. You no longer need to protect me or hunt for me. You can be free to live with your companions."
The wind rustled the leaves.
Jiang Yue's eyes were red and the ends of her eyes were hot. She held back tears.
She gathered her things and turned around to go down the mountain.
This time, it was not called Shangjiang Nian.
She resisted looking back, fearing that she would become soft-hearted and that she would not be able to let go.
Every time before, Jiang Nian had carried her down the mountain, but this time, she was alone. With his head lowered, he walked step by step for more than two hours, from the deep mountains to the front mountains.
Finally, she looked back.
Jiang Nian has been following her, not daring to fall behind or take a step forward.
His eyes were still as clear and bright as the first time they met.
Jiang Yue raised her arm, waved gently, and said softly, "Goodbye, Jiang Nian."
Then he went down the mountain without looking back.
This time, Jiang Nian didn't follow.
