Chapter 274 I'm Sorry, Zhou Zhiqing
The three wild boars wandered around for half an hour but couldn't find Shen Shuyu. They became a little crazy and kept banging their heads against the tree, trying to knock Shen Shuyu out. When they couldn't find her, the three wild boars left with a grunt.
Shen Shuyu came out of the space and bumped into a blind bear that had just come out to look for food. The man and the bear looked at each other for five seconds, then they both screamed and retreated repeatedly.
Shen Shuyu took a few steps back, then realized that it was a blind bear, and punched it twice.
The blind bear had just reached adulthood and it was the first time for it to come out to look for food. Usually it stayed in the mountains and didn't come out. Today it wanted to come out and see the outside world, and it bumped into Shen Shuyu, and was punched by her. It felt a little aggrieved and a little angry.
It roared several times and began to attack Shen Shuyu. Shen Shuyu was very strong and hit it five or six times. The blind bear fainted.
This blind bear weighs about 300 pounds, and is much more valuable than a wild boar. Shen Shuyu put it into the space, and planned to go into the space at night to separate the bear skin, bear paws, and bear gall, process them, and send them to the uncles in the army.
As for the meat, she sold it on the black market.
After walking around for a long time, Shen Shuyu poked two rabbit holes and caught six rabbits. When he was about to go home, he also caught two pheasants.
Today's harvest was really good. Shen Shuyu put two rabbits and a pheasant in the cage, and saw Goudan and other little kids in another forest.
Shen Shuyu waved for them to come over, "Go collect firewood. I hunted a pheasant and will roast it for you to eat."
They only ate a few slices of meat during the Chinese New Year, and they hadn't eaten meat for several months. When they heard that there was meat to eat, they licked their lips, cheered and ran to collect firewood.
Shen Shuyu broke off a few straight wooden sticks and built a rack for roasting pheasant. By the time she finished, the little kids had all come back with firewood.
The wild fruits are not ripe yet, so there is nothing to eat. However, Goudan found a nest of bird eggs. He searched his pockets and took out two bird eggs. "Sister Shuyu, here you go."
Shen Shuyu didn't want his, "You can bake it yourself, Sister Shuyu doesn't like this."
Roasted bird eggs are so delicious, how could someone not like to eat them? Goudan didn’t believe it. He roasted the eggs, waited until they cooled down a little, and then stuffed them directly into Shen Shuyu’s pocket.
Goudan learned this from his mother.
After the pheasant was roasted, Shen Shuyu shared the meat with them. While Goudan was eating the meat with relish, Shen Shuyu stuffed the bird's eggs back into Goudan's pocket.
Every child in the village would like to climb trees to get bird eggs when they have nothing to do. It is not easy for them to find bird eggs. They climb up and down and their clothes are torn into several holes. They can only find them if they are lucky.
It is difficult to get enough to eat now, and family members don’t have spare money to give them pocket money to buy snacks. The eggs at home are also saved and taken to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange for salt or something.
The children have to find snacks by themselves in the mountains. If they find bird eggs, they can keep their mouths full for days.
Shen Shuyu sprinkled seasoning on the roasted pheasant, and it was very fragrant. The little kid was very satisfied with the meal.
Shitou wiped his mouth and was reluctant to eat the remaining half of the meat, so he put it in his pocket to take it back for his sister.
Not only Shitou, but Goudan and Erya were reluctant to finish the food and took them back for their younger brothers and sisters.
Shen Shuyu ignored them and just said, "Don't let your family know that I roasted the meat, okay?"
"I know. We won't tell anyone."
Erya said, "Sister Shuyu, I heard Sister Shen Xue calling Zhou Zhiqing to hook up with you."
Erya is Aunt Yun Gui's granddaughter, and lives next door to Shen Xue. She is still young and doesn't quite understand what "flirting" means, but she thinks the word doesn't sound very nice and doesn't make her feel comfortable listening to it.
Zhou Jingchen often hangs around her recently. She sees him at the entrance of the village every day when she comes home from get off work. Shen Shuyu didn't take him seriously. Now when she heard Erya say this, her eyes narrowed. She touched Erya's head.
"Sister Shu Yu knows."
Shitou was older and knew what hooking up meant. He waved his fist and said angrily, "Zhou Zhiqing is too shameless. Sister Shu Yu, we will help you teach him a lesson."
"This is not something you little kids should be involved in. Okay, it's getting dark, go home."
Shen Shuyu said that when this group of kids were going down the mountain, they saw Shen Xue coming home from work, so they walked past her and "accidentally" knocked her down.
"I'm sorry, Sister Shen Xue, we didn't see you."
Shen Xue: "..."
"Be careful next time." What a bunch of annoying kids.
When they met Zhou Jingchen at the entrance of the village, Goudan and his group of kids passed by him and "accidentally" bumped into him. Zhou Jingchen was also stepped on several times by these kids.
"I'm sorry, Zhou Zhiqing, we didn't see you."
He is such a big man and the road is so long, but these kids just walked towards him and bumped into him. It was obviously intentional. Zhou Jingchen grabbed the skinny Erya and said, "Where are your parents? Call your parents over. You are so young and naughty."
"Let Erya go." Goudan and several other boys opened their mouths and bit Zhou Jingchen's wrist. Zhou Jingchen let go in pain.
Zhou Jingchen really couldn't stand it. Everyone in this village, from top to bottom, from old to young, bullied him.
He leaned on his crutches and went to Shen Erzhu to seek justice. "Captain, look at these teeth marks on my hands. They were all bitten by those kids."
Shen Erzhu took a look and saw several teeth marks on his wrist and arm, which were bleeding.
He knew the children in his village. They were a little naughty, but they would not bite others for no reason. "Zhou Zhiqing, did you bully the children?"
Zhou Jingchen was so angry that he almost vomited blood. "Captain, your bias is too obvious. Look at these teeth marks on my hands. Do I think I can bully them?"
Shen Erzhu called the children and their adults over.
Zhou Jingchen raised his arm, "Look, your child bit it. If there are not twenty eggs, this matter will not be over."
Aunt Yun Gui said angrily, "Zhou Zhiqing, let me ask you, why did you grab my Erya by the collar? Look, you scared my Erya so much that her face turned pale.
I just took Erya to the village doctor, and the doctor said that Erya was suffering from excessive fright.
My poor Erya, she is so thin and small, she is just a child, how did she offend you, why do you treat her like this?"
Zhou Jingchen: "She doesn't eat well, so her face is pale. What does it have to do with me?"
"Why is it none of your business? My daughter Erya trembles when she sees you, speaks incoherently, and even has nightmares when she sleeps at night. You have to give me an explanation for this matter."
Zhou Jingchen wanted to ask what it had to do with him, but then he realized that he was almost being fooled by these peasants and he was going to ask them for an explanation.
