Jiang Yue walked quickly back home and closed the door.
Jiang Nian obviously couldn't speak, but she always felt that it was too quiet around her.
However, mules were braying in the yard, rabbits and pheasants were gnawing grass, and everything was no different from before.
She walked over and looked into the rabbit cage. The big-bellied rabbit was nesting in the corner. It was very nervous and no one was allowed to touch it. The male rabbit was also very irritable, with fierce eyes and his ears pricked up at her.
"Don't worry, I won't touch you."
At least, not while the bunny is still young.
Rabbits have a strong reproductive capacity, and soon these two adult rabbits will become parents. The pair who had given birth before were temporarily separated and isolated by her for a few days, and they frequently had trouble giving birth.
She lowered her eyes, changed the water for a few, then sat on the threshold and looked up at the mountains. He should have returned to his own territory now.
Jiang Yue has lived in an orphanage for more than twenty years, and now she is just back to that state again. I eat alone, sleep alone, work alone, and occasionally talk to myself in front of the wall.
The weather was good these two days, so Jiang Yue seasoned the hares and pheasants collected on the mountain, drilled a hole in the chest, and hung them up with castor rope.
She even felt that she was a little cruel, letting the few at home watch their compatriots being "whipped" by their owners every day, and the corpses were hung in the yard with a fragrant brush.
She worked in the space from morning to night, tilling and planting, and planted two acres of land with rice and wheat. She felt that a long time had passed, but in fact it only took two days.
He lay on the bed and fell asleep in a daze. She was so exhausted that she forgot that the hard bed board was really uncomfortable to sleep on.
In the middle of the night, there seemed to be a sound of falling in the courtyard, but the howling mountain wind, mixed with the swaying of trees, made it difficult to hear clearly.
Jiang Yue was a little alert, opened her eyes, sat up from the bed, quickly took out the knife, and pointed it at the uninvited person.
The person who came was tall, barefooted, and his footsteps were gentle. Half of his body was covered in the darkness, making it difficult to see clearly. But those eyes were clear and bright, and they only saw her.
When Jiang Yue was stunned, the person had already walked up to her, squatted down, and looked at her quietly without speaking.
She put down the knife and held his delicate face in her hands, "Why do you want to come back?"
Jiang Nian opened his mouth slightly, moved his tongue a few times, and said with difficulty, "Yue, Yue."
Occasionally when she was bored, she would pick the other person up to learn how to speak. The first thing she taught him was their names, but instead of remembering his own name, he remembered hers.
With a smile in Jiang Yue's eyes, she pressed her forehead against his and pressed a gentle kiss on his lips. The warm breaths of both parties intertwined, "From now on, we will depend on each other."
Jiang Nian stretched out his broad arms and embraced her.
Jiang Yue closed her eyes, leaned on his chest, felt his fast and powerful heartbeat, and said inappropriately, "You are not wearing any clothes."
Jiang Nian felt aggrieved because she didn't leave any clothes behind when she left.
Early the next morning, the two of them woke up naturally, brushed their teeth and washed their faces. Jiang Nian pulled her to the entrance of the hospital.
"What's wrong? Want to go out and play?"
He shook his head and opened the door. Jiang Yue looked out, dumbfounded.
The ground is full of prey!
Five rabbits, two pheasants, a fox, a deer and a sheep.
With Jiang Nian's skills, it was not difficult to hunt, but to drag the prey here from such a distant mountain, I don't know how much effort he expended.
There were no wounds on the rabbit or pheasant. She suspected that it was frightened to death. Those large prey were actually rolled into thick ropes by a kind of hemp grass in the mountains and then tied up, and they were still alive. However, the look in Jiang Nian's eyes revealed fear. He was obedient and didn't dare to move.
She quickly brought the prey into the yard. Fortunately, she got up early today and no one saw it.
She half-crouched to look at these foxes. The fox had snow-white fur and was a silver fox. Rich people would definitely like it. This female sika deer is smaller than the previous one, but more rounded and cute.
The bleating sheep looked fat.
She looked up at the young man and said with a smile, "We sold the fox and the deer, and left the rest for ourselves! In the winter, we eat mutton stewed in mutton soup to replenish our health!"
Jiang Nian also squatted down and rubbed her face, knowing she would like it!
As a coachman, Jiang Nian is already very experienced.
He arrived at the backyard of the Wang family as quickly as possible. The chubby housekeeper really didn’t expect that these two couples were so capable and could hunt wild animals in such a short time! This time I actually got a live silver fox, and the hair is so beautiful!
Seeing Butler Wang want to reach into the cage and touch the silver fox's fur, Jiang Yue stopped him in time, "Silver foxes in the mountains are both spiritual and wild. It is best to be trained by knowledgeable people before they can become pets."
For example, let the monkey tamer teach you.
Butler Wang nodded, and just as he was about to say that his master had his own ideas, the master came over with his wife.
Mr. Wang is not as fat and fair as the housekeeper, but rather muscular, with a long beard and a businessman's sparkle in his eyes.
He heard that the hunter who had sent giant bears and sika deer before had sent good gifts again, so he left the shopkeeper behind and hurried over.
He half lowered his body and looked at the silver fox in the cage. It had snow-white fur and looked cute. Then he stroked his long beard and said with a smile in his eyes, "If I can send it up, I will definitely make you happy."
The lady on the side grabbed her handkerchief, feeling angry. She also liked the silver fox. It would be great if you could raise it like a cat.
It's a pity that my business still has to rely on the protection of various checkpoints. I must use it to win people's hearts. She then stepped back and looked at the little sika deer standing beside her, with joy in her eyes.
The sika deer was quite small and was given away after being displayed at home for two days.
"Master, please keep this little deer and keep it in the backyard. I'll invite the ladies and my daughter's handkerchief friends to come over and enjoy it. Do you agree~"
Madam bows her head and acts coquettishly with Mr. Wang, and Mr. Wang is free to do so. They men like wild animals like giant bears, which are powerful and majestic and show their masculinity. This kind of cuteness is reserved for women.
Jiang Yue lowered her eyebrows and didn't look or interrupt.
Mr. Wang and his wife were satisfied and waved their hands directly, asking the housekeeper to give her 150 taels of silver.
Jiang Yue: Did that big bear offer less?
Regardless, the price is great.
After they went out, they went directly to the cloth shop and bought five pieces of old cloth, two hundred insoles, and two baskets of rags. The shopkeeper also gave a few feet of oilcloth.
I went and bought 5 large bathtubs, 10 pottery jars, and 10 large basins.
Then he went to the bank and exchanged thirty taels of silver for two large baskets of copper plates. This is the first time the shopkeeper has seen such a strange person.
Jiang Yue didn't explain. She exchanged so many copper coins that were difficult to carry, so she had her reasons.
She touched Jiang Nian's head. It was not easy to raise such a big-eating cub.
She would go to other villages to collect pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, and all the edible meat.
