Chapter 334 Unexpected Harvest
The next second, a gray rabbit was nailed to the root of a tree with a hatchet. The rabbit was still kicking its legs and seemed to want to continue to escape.
"Rabbit! Lianyi, you are really amazing!"
Zheng Xin said with a face of surprise.
Lianyi had already taken a step forward, ready to take out the hatchet and harvest the loot. Who knew that a joking voice came from behind:
"Two educated youths, wait, that rabbit is mine!"
Zheng Xin and Lianyi turned around and saw a tall and thin man wearing patched clothes and trousers, who was talking just now.
The other person is about 1.85 meters tall and has a somewhat hunched back. Perhaps in order to reduce his sense of existence, his face is dirty and his true appearance cannot be seen clearly, but his eyes are staring at the rabbit. It looks like it is inevitable.
"Zhao Jingcheng, we obviously caught this rabbit, how come it becomes yours?"
After Zheng Xin saw the other party's face clearly, she stood with Lianyi very vigilantly. Together, he said with some lack of momentum.
"This is the outskirts of the forest. How could there be a rabbit? I drove that rabbit out from the inner edge of the forest. You were about to catch it when you caught it first."
Zhao Jingcheng was wearing open-toed clothing. He moved towards the two of them step by step with his cloth shoes, obviously not intending to let go of this meaty meal.
Ripple looked at the shoes on the other party's feet, which were still stained with brown-red mud, proving that he was not lying. Unfortunately, the rabbit died in her hands in the end, and she had no intention of letting it go.
"So what if you drove it out? I killed it in the end. Did you see the handle of the hatchet? It is engraved on it for educated youth only."
Lianyi took a step forward. , pulled out the hatchet, grabbed the rabbit's ears, picked it up and handed it to Zheng Xin, then tightened the hatchet in his hand, took a step forward, and stood in front of the rabbit. If you dare to snatch the rabbit, I will chop you down. Looking across from him, Zhao Jingcheng's face darkened.
Zhao Jingcheng swallowed, with a look of fear on his face. What he was afraid of was not the two female educated youths, but the hatchet in their hands, which was still stained with blood.
The sound of "gulu gulu" broke the confrontation between the two sides. Both Lianyi and Zheng Xin stared at each other's stomachs. They had just eaten breakfast and were not hungry yet.
Zhao Jingcheng touched his stomach. The burning feeling in his stomach was still there, making his face a little pale. He had used up his last strength to drive the rabbit out, and now his legs and feet were numb. So soft, I can no longer stand.
Lianyi and Zheng Xin watched the bamboo pole man opposite him sway and sit down on the ground. They looked at each other and immediately understood that he was hungry.
“Let’s go and see!”
"Lianyi, he is Zhao Jingcheng, the leader of Hongqi Commune, and we are still"
Zheng Xin grabbed Lianyi's sleeves and whispered.
“You’re so hungry that you’re still dominating?”
Lianyi shook her head, looked back at the rabbit in Zheng Xin’s hand, and walked towards him with the hatchet in hand. In the past, she could actually subdue people with one hand without using a hatchet, but it was just to embolden Zheng Xin.
Sure enough, Zheng Xin became more courageous because of the hatchet in Lianyi's hand, and walked over with him.
"Hey! Are you dead?"
Lianyi kicked the opponent's calf with his foot, feeling that the kick hit the bone, which stung the foot.
Zhao Jingcheng's eyes went dark for a while, and he finally recovered. He looked at the two bold female educated youths walking over carrying rabbits and hatchets. He smiled bitterly and said:
"Almost."
Ripple glanced at the other party and took out the buckwheat buns wrapped in cloth from her arms, which she planned to use as lunch.
"Now, don't say that we are taking advantage of you. You eat something first, and we will discuss the ownership of the rabbit."
Zhao Jingcheng instinctively caught the thing thrown by the female educated youth opposite, opened the cloth and took a look , it was a gray buckwheat steamed bun, still a little warm, he took a bite, and half of the steamed bun disappeared.
"You've been hungry for a long time, don't eat too hard, be careful of choking." Lianyi looked at the other party's embarrassment, and warned loudly, don't turn around and choke to death and ask her to save him.
Zhao Jingcheng nodded obediently, took half of it out of his mouth, chewed the steamed bun again and again, then swallowed it while holding his neck, and continued to eat another piece.
Lianyi took Zheng Xin to the tree where the rabbit was crucified, kicked some soil with her feet, and buried the blood stains. Zheng Xin followed suit and cleaned up the remaining blood stains.
"Zheng Xin, we caught this rabbit ourselves. I am not going to hand it over to the public. I will discuss it with Zhao Jingcheng later and cook the rabbit at his house. The three of us will share it equally and give it to Xiufen. What do you think, sister, bring a rabbit’s hind legs?”
Lianyi suggested.
If she wants to eat meat, she can just go for a walk in the mountains and forests. However, the hunted wild animals must have a provenance, and it is best to have someone to cover them. Zhao Jingcheng is a good choice. .
"I have no objection. You can kill this rabbit with quick eyesight and quick hands. I am the one who takes advantage. I will listen to you."
Zheng Xin is very self-aware, and she is also greedy for meat, so she must listen to Lianyi.
"That's what I think. You heard what he said just now. He drove the rabbit from the inner area. He must be more familiar with this forest than us. If we cooperate with this Zhao Jingcheng, we can From time to time, we will make tooth sacrifices.
He is responsible for driving the prey from the inner area, and we are responsible for catching it and giving him some coarse grains in exchange. He cannot only eat meat all winter!”
Lianyi suggested.
Zheng Xin’s eyes lit up after hearing this, and then she lowered her voice and said:
"I think it's okay, but this Zhao Jingcheng's reputation in Hongqi Commune is not very good. I'm afraid he will get rid of us by then. We are women after all. Why don't we talk to the male educated youths?"
" You are still thoughtful and will cooperate with him today and wait until the meat is in your stomach. We will ask Sister Xiufen when we go back. She came a year earlier than us and she must know more than us."
"Okay!"
Zheng Xin responded with bright eyes, then looked at the rabbit in her hand and swallowed.
Over there, Zhao Jingcheng slowly ate a whole-grain steamed bun to relieve the burning sensation in his stomach, and then stood up from the ground.
"You give me a steamed bun, and the rabbit belongs to you. Can you give me the rabbit skin?"
"Do you have a house? Is it far or near here? Do you have a pot? Let's stew the rabbit first. "
Lianyi said directly.
Hearing this, Zhao Jingcheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said:
"My house in the village is too dilapidated to live in. I have been hunting in the mountains and forests. Live in a temporary house, come with me!”
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the forest.
“Follow me?”
Zheng Xin hesitated.
"Don't be afraid! His legs are weak from hunger. We are two people, and we have this!"
Ripple raised the hatchet in his hand.
In the end, Zheng Xin was persuaded and followed Zhao Jingcheng's footsteps with Lianyi and left the previous place.
Half an hour later, a group of three people arrived in front of a wooden house. Zhao Jingcheng directly opened the wooden door and said:
"Come in!"
