Picking this and that along the way, the baskets on their backs gradually filled up. Meng Hang picked up a load of firewood and hurried back.
Su Qing also wanted to go home quickly and deal with all the strange beasts hunted by the flames.
You must not bring the complete corpses of alien beasts to school to cut them up, or let Huo Miao hold an alien beast and swallow it whole like raw hair and blood.
Su Qing shuddered when she thought of that scene. It was so scary. If it really happened, Jiabao would probably have to report it to the school soon. She couldn't even imagine the consequences of that.
It's better to process it all into bacon, which will make the flames more delicious, it won't take up space, and people won't notice anything unusual.
The two returned soon. Under the cliff where the car was placed, there were two bundles of fruit branches and two baskets on the car. There was no place for Su Qing to sit.
Su Qing said: "You drive down the mountain slowly, and I will follow behind. The speed will not be slower than you."
Meng Hang used ropes to secure the basket and two bundles of branches to prevent them from falling halfway. He raised his head and asked her,
"Qingqing, are you okay? Can you keep up?"
"No problem, don't forget my abilities."
Meng Hang was right. Qingqing could fly, so why couldn't he keep up with the speed of the tram?
He got into the driving position, started the car and drove down the mountain. It was all downhill. It was effortless at all. He had to pay attention to slowing down at all times.
The tram returned to the village at a lightning speed and stopped at the entrance of the new courtyard. Meng Hang turned around and saw that Qingqing was behind him and was not behind at all.
Meng Hang gave a thumbs up, "Awesome, Qingqing is getting better and better!" You have to work hard, you can't be too far behind, you have to work hard to catch up, otherwise how can you protect her.
Push open the courtyard door and push the tram into the courtyard.
Zhu Xiuyun, who was sorting yams, saw them coming back and asked hurriedly:
"You guys are back pretty quickly. How was it on the mountain?"
"Grandma Zhu, there is nothing happening on the mountain. It is extremely quiet outside. There are no pheasants and rabbits left. We just collected some spiritual herbs and seasonings and came back."
Meng Hang unloaded the two bundles of branches from the car and put the basket on his back somewhere out of the way.
"Why did you bring back two bundles of branches? There is a lot of firewood chopped in the woodshed! They were all chopped by Su Ping and Su An. You can't help but burn the ones you picked up. They are all branches."
"Qingqing said it was useful."
Meng Hang didn't know if Grandma Zhu knew about Huo Miao, but she didn't dare to say much.
Su Qing said directly:
"It's used for bacon and can be stored for a long time.
Meng Hang, go to Huanglong Town to buy more salt. If the soldiers don't agree with you going out, give them your identity cards and ask them to help buy it back. "
"Oh, I'll go right away." Meng Hang drove directly to the car and drove out of the village without saying a word.
Zhu Xiuyun wanted to stop him and ask, but he had no chance, so he had to look at Su Qing.
"Why did you ask him to buy so much salt? We still have enough salt at home,"
"Grandma, I just told you, it's for bacon. We're going back to Mingyue City to go to school, and we're going to take Huo Miao brother and sister with us. They are carnivores, and there are ready-made exotic animals on the mountain. Let him hunt more, and we'll process them. Take the dried meat away and cook it into meat porridge for him to eat every day, which can save a lot of money."
Zhu Xiuyun nodded in agreement,
"Yes, it's not that the meat of exotic animals is expensive. Even the meat of various domestic animals is not cheap. People can't afford it. How can you have money to buy it for Huo Miao? It's best to let him be self-sufficient."
"Grandma, have you finished packing the yams? Once it's done, let's start dealing with the strange beasts."
"Only these are left on the ground. Just clean them and pack them up. Where are the strange beasts?" Zhu Xiuyun saw that they only had two bundles of firewood and two baskets on their backs when they came back, and nothing else.
"They are all in Huo Miao's own space. Let me help clean up these yams. It will be quick."
In the past, Su Qing would not reveal that he knew magic because he couldn't explain clearly.
Now that Huo Miao's secret has been told to grandma and Meng Hang, there is no need to hide the little magic that can help with work.
Su Qing knelt down and gently brushed the yam, and the soil on the yam flew away, making it cleaner than after washing.
"Grandma, that's it. Let's pack it up. After cleaning up, we'll process the exotic animal meat."
"Oh oh oh."
When Zhu Xiuyun faced her granddaughter's magical spell, she was just surprised and immediately calmed down. This must be her granddaughter's ability. I can't blame everyone for wanting to activate the power. It's so useful.
The grandfather and grandson packed up the yams and moved them to the warehouse. The other two families took away the yams yesterday. The warehouses were dug by Zhu Xiuyun and Qingqing. Yang Dayong will come to the village in a few days to collect them.
After sweeping the yard clean and carrying out the table where the strange beasts were dealt with yesterday, Su Qing thought to herself that she would have to clean up the cat's food for half the day.
It’s not easy to raise a cat. There aren’t many benefits, but you have to pay a lot first. The big one makes a fuss and needs to be eaten, while the small one has to absorb spiritual energy every day. I don’t know what the benefits of raising it are.
Zhu Xiuyun took out the things and prepared the basin and knife, but where were the strange beasts?
Looking at the cat sleeping in the corner since returning home, Qingqing said there was nothing on him.
Seeing the confusion on her grandmother's face, Su Qing smiled and said:
"Huo Miao will take out a strange beast first. After taking care of this one, he will take out the next one."
After hearing the master's instructions, Huo Miao stood up, raised his paws, and with a plop, there was an extra hare in the yard.
Zhu Xiuyun opened her mouth in surprise. There really was a strange beast. Where was it taken by the kitten? What does the space mean when the granddaughter talks about it?
Su Qing slapped her forehead. She forgot that cats can't catch large exotic animals. It doesn't matter what kind of exotic animals they are, they can eat them. Even small bits of rabbits are meat!
"Okay! If it's all rabbits and pheasants, take out some more. I thought they were all as big as bison."
"Master, the cows, sheep and deer are too big for me to eat at one time. I didn't know that the master would cook them for me. Next time I will find some large exotic animals to hunt. There are a few grizzly bears who are particularly disobedient. They often snatch honey from me, so just kill them all."
Su Qing's eyes lit up. When she heard the sound of the flames, the first thing she thought of was bear paws. It was a legendary delicacy. She had the chance to taste it, and she immediately replied excitedly,
"Okay! Okay! You go up to the mountain to hunt in time. The bigger the better."
Zhu Xiuyun mentioned the rabbits on the ground. Although they were not very good exotic animal meat, they were meat after all, and they could be exchanged for some money by sending them to the purchasing station.
Put it on the table and start to bleed and skin it. It is obvious that there are several big teeth marks on the rabbit's throat, and the blood is gurgling. It must have been killed by the flames.
Zhu Xiuyun was very skilled in handling rabbits. He held the knife in his hand and told Su Qing how to deal with the rabbit as quickly as possible.
Before she could drain the rabbit's blood, there was a series of sounds, like dumplings being dropped in the courtyard. Suddenly, many rabbits and pheasants appeared, as well as two small wild boars, a small sika deer, and two lambs, except for the pheasants. and rabbits, and the others were all cubs, none of them were adult animals.
It was a pity in Su Qing's heart that the flames went too far, and they were destroyed by his ruthless hands before they could grow up. If this continued, the alien beast race would be extinct.
"Qingqing, why are there so many strange beasts all at once, all prey of the flames?"
Su Qing nodded and looked at the flames with dissatisfaction. Silly cat, he couldn't control how much he took out. He had so many at once and what to do if someone saw him. He was really clueless.
"Grandma, let's get rid of all the strange beasts quickly, otherwise it won't be good if others find out."
Zhu Xiuyun put down the knife in his hand, right? He quickly ran over and locked the courtyard door, a little too cautiously. If someone came, Su Qing would be able to spot it from a few miles away.
Su Qing saw too many things. According to Zhu Xiuyun's method, it was too slow. It was better to use magic.
"Grandma, I've taken care of these prostitutes. You go and boil a pot of water to soften the chicken feathers."
"Are you okay?" Zhu Xiuyun could not rest assured and let Qingqing handle the strange beasts by herself.
