The pheasant obviously didn't notice anyone around it, and was still looking for food on its own. It would eat weeds and dig the land in front of it, as if it was looking for bugs to eat.
Ying Qingci placed the little dumpling at her feet, and she picked up a few pebbles from the ground.
"boom--"
Along with a crashing sound, I saw that the pheasant that was still leisurely was now with its feet in the air, its head tilted to the side, and its whole body fell to the ground, motionless.
Seeing this, Xiaotuanzi walked up to it with its short legs and sniffed around it.
From time to time, roars came out of his mouth.
'Ouch~'
Ying Qingci stepped forward, picked up the pheasant she knocked unconscious from the ground, and stuffed it into the cloth bag she carried.
Xiaotuanzi looked at her movements and blinked in confusion.
'Ugh? '
What's this?
How can I make it disappear?
"Okay, Xiaotuanzi, let's go."
Holding the little dumpling in her arms and carrying the pheasant in one hand, Ying Qingci returned in the direction she came from.
On the way, she also saw a lot of wild vegetables and picked some relatively tender ones. They were very suitable for making soup or stir-frying at noon.
When he returned to the raspberry forest, Ying Qingci saw at a glance that Ying Qingjia had already dug two baskets full of raspberry seedlings. Judging from his actions, he would continue digging.
When Ying Qingci saw this, he quickly walked up.
"Second brother, that's enough."
These two baskets may sound like a small amount, but if they are planted, half an acre of land is enough.
Hearing Ying Qingci's voice, Ying Qingjia's movements stagnated slightly. When she raised her head, she saw Ying Qingci, and a smile instantly appeared on her face.
"Sister, you are back."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the small white dumpling in Ying Qingci's arms, and his expression changed drastically, "Sister...this...what is this?"
'Ouch? '
When Xiaotuanzi saw the stranger, he raised his big watery eyes, but when he was in Ying Qingci's arms, he was very well-behaved and just gave a soft cry.
"Second brother, it's just a small dumpling I just picked up."
"Little...little dumpling?"
There was fear in Ying Qingjia's eyes, this... this was clearly a young tiger, and now he was in his sister's arms?
"yes."
Ying Qingci nodded.
"But...sister, do you know what kind...of it...is?"
"I know, little tiger."
Ying Qingjia sighed. She really didn't know whether to call her sister brave or too brave.
Even the tiger dared to pick it back up.
Suddenly, Ying Qingjia's expression changed drastically as she thought of something. She looked at Ying Qingci and said, "Sister, you picked up this little tiger, but where are its parents?"
How could such a small tiger cub not be protected by a tigress?
Damn it, if you provoke the tigress, you'll be in trouble.
Thinking of this, Ying Qingjia's face suddenly turned pale.
"Sister, hurry up, hurry up!"
"If the tigress comes here soon, we will be in trouble!"
"Second brother, don't worry, his parents know it." Ying Qingci saw the look of surprise on her second brother's face and quickly explained.
"This little tiger was born weak, so its parents left it to me, and I brought it back."
Ying Qingci's tone was very brisk, as if she was talking about something insignificant, but hearing it in his ears made his heart skip a beat.
In just a short time, my sister encountered such a big thing, and even met a tiger?
If something happened...he didn't dare to think about it anymore...
"Sister, are you okay?"
"Second brother, I'm fine. I cherish my life very much."
Hearing this, Ying Qingjia couldn't help but exhale. Fortunately, everything was fine. Otherwise, not only Ah Nai and the others would not be able to spare themselves, but he himself would also not be able to spare himself.
"Um."
"By the way, second brother, I also caught a pheasant. When we get home at noon, we will make chicken soup."
"good."
The brother and sister carried the baskets on their backs. Ying Qingci tied up the pheasant and placed it in the gap of the baskets, and put the small dumplings in the cloth bag that he carried.
However, it seemed that he felt uncomfortable being in the bag, so the little dumpling showed his head, and even thought it was fun, hiding it back and popping out at other times.
It's like the whack-a-mole game I used to play when I was a kid.
Fortunately, their family has now moved to the foot of the mountain, and few people will come here. Otherwise, when she brings Xiaotuanzi home, many people will definitely see her.
As for the wine shop, it is still some distance away from their small courtyard, so it is usually invisible.
They placed the raspberry seedlings at the gate, and Ying Qingci planned to plant them in the afternoon.
Make progress early.
Walking into the kitchen, Ying Qingci placed the pheasant in a basin commonly used for washing vegetables, preparing to dispose of the pheasant later.
As soon as Xiaotuanzi came out of the space, he was very curious about the things outside and ran around the yard on his short legs.
Occasionally, if you look up, you can see a white figure flashing away very quickly.

Songyang Academy
Ying Qinghan and Ying Qingheng went directly to Yu Xiubo's residence. This was what Yu Xiubo directly ordered them to do after they became apprentices.
"You are here."
Today's Yu Xiubo is not the same as the serious dean he saw that day.
Today, he has a smile on his face.
Especially when seeing Ying Qinghan and Ying Qingheng, it is even more obvious.
"The student has met sir."
"No need to be polite."
Yu Xiubo waved his hand. He actually didn't value these false gifts. His eyes fell on Ying Shuangsong who was standing aside. Ying Qinghan quickly explained.
"Sir, this is my father. I'm here to visit you today."
"Yu...Yu Shanchang, hello, I am the family member of Ahan and Aheng. I came here specifically for their apprenticeship today..."
With that said, Ying Shuangsong also took out the apprenticeship ceremony prepared by Ying Qingci.
Just as Yu Xiubo was about to speak, the corner of his eye unconsciously glanced at the small jar in Ying Shuangsong's hand, and the conversation suddenly changed.
"Now that I have accepted them as students, I will definitely do my best."
"Thank you... thank you..."
Ying Shuangsong had tears in his eyes. Along the way, they finally reached Nanning Mansion and found A Heng. The family has lived the life they have now. Seeing them studying in the academy has fulfilled their wish...
"polite."
"Good boy, what is this?"
Huang Xuecao walked into the kitchen. After seeing Ying Qingci, she turned her head and saw the little dumpling next to her.
"Grandma, this is the little pet I picked up, called Xiaotuanzi..."
"Little dumpling?"
Huang Xuecao was a little shocked. Their obedient family actually treated the tiger's cub... as a pet?
"Be good...will there be no problem with this?"
