Chapter 495 Mutual support and mutual restraint
"You haven't caught a pheasant yet, I'll take you there. Pheasants are clumsy in winter and easy to catch."
Leaving a group of servants to deal with pheasants and poisonous snakes, Chu Jingqi took Xia Zihan to catch pheasants.
The two went to the east. Not long after walking, they saw a little red in the white snow. Xia Zihan took a closer look and saw that it was a cluster of feathers stuck in the snow. The feathers were swaying happily in the cold wind. .
Chu Jingqi put her fingers on her lips and shushed, then whispered, "Let's go over there. Wait a minute and you try to grab its two wings."
Xia Zihan hummed and walked over quietly. When she got closer, she saw clearly that the cluster of feathers was the hair on the crotch of a pheasant, and most of the pheasant's body was Buried in a pile of dead branches covered by snow.
Chu Jingqi made a gesture to her. Xia Zihan gritted his teeth, stretched his hand forward, and grabbed the pheasant with his fingers trembling.
Xia Zihan struck quickly. Before the pheasant could recover, Xia Zihan caught it in her hand. The pheasant seemed to have been awakened and struggled desperately in her hand. It was so strong that Xia Zihan could not catch it. live.
Suddenly, the pheasant turned its head and poked Xia Zihan's wrist with its sharp, hard mouth.
Xia Zihan was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she subconsciously let go of her hand. The pheasant flapped its wings, clucked a few triumphantly, and tried to escape.
But the next moment, it was like having a convulsion. It fell on the snow with a snap, and its body kept fluttering on the snow, but it couldn't fly.
Seeing that Xia Zihan was very frightened, Chu Jingqi hugged her and comforted her desperately, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Ayu is not afraid, I am here, I am here, we are not afraid, it is just an animal, Ayu, are you still afraid of it?" What’s more, it’s enough for us to cook and eat. When I get back, I’ll kill it and cook for you.”
"Why are you so cowardly? You are even afraid of pheasants. What about your martial arts and your internal strength? Are you so scared that you have forgotten about it? Silly girl, you only need to shock it with your internal strength and it will faint."
Chu Jingqi never thought that Xia Zihan would be afraid of the pheasant pecking her, and she would be so frightened that her face turned pale and panicked. That scene almost made him heartbroken.
You must know that she is afraid of pheasants. Even if she beats him to death, he will not bring her to catch him.
I thought that since she had killed people before, she would not be afraid of anything, but I didn’t expect...
Chu Jingqi stroked her back distressedly and said softly, "Ayu, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought you to catch pheasants. It's all my fault. It won't happen again, never again... Ayu, are you feeling better? How about we go back?”
"No." Xia Zihan said softly, "Don't go back. You haven't roasted the pheasant for me to eat, and you haven't cooked the snake soup with snow water for me to drink. I want to eat, and I want to drink the snake soup."
"Okay, okay, let's not go back. I'm going to roast chicken for you. Come on, let's go." Chu Jingqi hugged her and was about to leave, but Xia Zihan turned around and looked at the pheasant that was struggling to death, " Aqi, take it with you and I will eat it.”
She was afraid that the pheasants would peck her because there was a shadow in her heart.
In her previous life, after she was disfigured by Cao Zian, she was rejected by Cao Zian, and her status plummeted, from a young mistress to a slave.
In order to torture her, Cao Zian asked her to do all the work at home. She was asked to do whatever was dirty. She was as tired as an ox all day long and refused to let Nuanyu and Nuanxiang help.
Sometimes, Nuanyu Nuanxiang felt sorry for her and would help her behind Cao Zian's back, but if Cao Zian found out, they would inevitably be tortured and beaten by Cao Zian, and she would also be beaten.
At that time, she killed a chicken for the first time.
It was a domestic chicken, raised by Mrs. Cao. It was the Chinese New Year and Mrs. Cao asked her to kill the chicken. She was a wealthy lady and it was her first time to see a live chicken. How could she kill a chicken?
Accidentally, a chicken pecked her hand, and she let go of the pain. Later, Cao Zian beat her with a stick, and she was not allowed to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.
A pot of stewed chicken was eaten by Mrs. Cao and her son. Nuanxiang Nuanyu only drank a small bowl of soup, not even a piece of chicken butt.
Later, Nuanyu and Nuanxiang secretly hid half of their rations and secretly brought them to her in the middle of the night. It was two and a half thick-faced steamed buns. It was the first year-round meal she ate after marrying into the Cao family. Dinner. From then on, she was very afraid of the sharp, sharp and hard mouth of the chicken, and she had a kind of fear.
Who said that the more afraid you are, the more you have to face it!
She thought that after being reborn, she would be able to control this mentality and not be afraid of it, but she tried just now and it still didn't work.
Chu Jingqi did not let go of Xia Zihan's hand and did not catch the chicken. Instead, she ordered into the air, "Send that pheasant to Ma Bao for processing."
"As commanded."
A man in black appeared, crushed the chicken to death, and then disappeared with a flying leap.
Chu Jingqi then let go of Xia Zihan's hand, turned around and hugged her sideways, "I'll carry you away, so you won't be afraid."
Xia Zihan hummed, put her arms around his neck, buried her head in his arms, and said softly, "Aqi, I...I'm not timid, I've just been pecked by a chicken before, so...don't laugh at me. Me.”
"Silly girl, it's too late for me to feel sorry for you. Why are you laughing at me?" He gently licked her forehead. "From now on, you are not allowed to touch live chickens, even if I am around, you are not allowed to touch them."< br>
"Well, I'll never touch you again." Since you're afraid, just stay away.
However, she likes chicken.
She always thought that if it dared to peck her, she would eat it.
After eating it, next time, it won't dare to peck her.
When the two of them came back slowly and sweetly, Ma Bao had just packed up the chicken and was wrapping it in sauce, while the other chickens were almost cooked and exuding a burst of fragrance.
Princess Qinghui was holding a chicken and turning it happily on the fire rack, muttering, "Brother Yuexi, I'm almost done roasting it. You want to eat this one I roasted myself."
Chu Yuexi stared at the blackened chicken skin she grilled, her mouth trembled, and she couldn't help but said, "Then can I not eat the chicken skin?"
The meat inside should be fresh and tender, right?
Princess Qinghui glanced over with aggrieved eyes, "Why don't you eat chicken skin? Last time you said that chicken skin is the most delicious, fragrant and crispy when it comes to roasted chicken. Are you lying to me?"
< br>
It also needs to be baked well.
Chu Yuexi's little eyes were directed at the roast chicken that was getting darker and darker as it was roasting on the fire rack, but it was not yet cooked. He gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and showed the courage of a warrior to die, "Okay, I'll eat it."
Only then did Princess Qinghui laugh.
Xia Zihan covered her mouth in joy.
Chu Yuexi and Princess Qinghui are both lawless people who are not afraid of heaven and earth. Together, these two people can live in harmony with each other.
