Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 76 2 faces

Jiang Yu thought about it and gave up hunting a big bear with its cub. After all, the harvest today was enough, and there was no need to let a baby lose its mother.

She turned around and left without hesitation.

The little bear stopped outside the cave and moved his nose in confusion. Strange, is there a strange smell? But he sniffed the remaining honey in his hand again. No matter what, he let his mother taste the honey first. It was sweet and delicious.

Jiangyu returned along the same route and met Tuanzi near the periphery.

"Awoo?" Tuanzi smelled the scent on her body and stopped. It still remembered the smell and it was not an enemy.

Seeing this, Jiang Yu took out a pheasant from the space and threw it over.

Tuanzi jumped up and caught the pheasant, her big round eyes full of confusion. Where did she get the pheasant from? No, why did she give it to me?

"Go find Yi Chi to make chicken soup." Jiang Yu said and ran away quickly.

Tuanzi understood the word Yi Chi, but was still confused. It looked at her back, full of confusion.

Jiang Yu was very satisfied with her catch and found a deserted pond to start collecting the prey. She killed and bled the rabbits and chickens that she was going to give to Yi Chi for processing. She didn't like eating blood tofu that much, so she just dug a hole and buried the blood and chicken feathers together.

After washing all the internal organs in water, she took out a clean basket, put leaves on it, and put all the cleaned meat in it.

As the sun set in the west, she tied up the rabbit skins with the fat and meat removed and put them back into the space, then quickly rushed to find Yi Chi.

Yi Chi happened to be heading to the mountain as well. He had almost finished fixing the stove in his room and was just waiting for it to dry. However, he still had to sleep in the mountain tonight and pack up his things and move back tomorrow morning.

"Yi Chi." Jiang Yu jumped down from the tree next to him and called Yi Chi with a smile on his face.

Yi Chi was startled by the person who suddenly jumped out and hurriedly stopped. He let out a breath, "Jiang Yu, why are you here?" This is not the same mountain range she usually goes to. Why did he suddenly come here?

"I saw Tuanzi moving around here, and I guessed you might live here, so I came to find you. Here!" She handed over the basket, "Help me prepare it, and I'll give you one third of the meat."

"No, no, I'm just helping you, it's not a big deal." Yi Chi quickly refused.

"You still need to buy seasoning, just one third. Take it, I still have to go out." Jiang Yu handed the basket forward again.

Seeing her look, Yi Chi knew that it was useless no matter what he said, so he had to take the basket. It was his business whether he took it or not.

The slightly cool fingertips brushed lightly against Jiang Yu's hand. Yi Chi paused almost imperceptibly, then took the basket as if nothing had happened. It was quite heavy to carry.

Jiang Yu didn't care about the details and emphasized, "We agreed that one third is one third. If you don't take it, I won't ask you for help in the future."

Yi Chi opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Jiang Yu ran away.

She arrived at the top of Yaoer Mountain when smoke from cooking fires rose in the village, and hid behind a tree trunk to carefully observe the distribution of houses in the village.

Uncle Liu's house is at the entrance of the village. The two largest houses there are his. Zhuang Shouren's old house is in the center of the village. There is a jujube tree planted in the yard. There are a few late-ripening red dates hanging on the bare tree. There is also a brick house of considerable size at the other end of the village near the second brigade.

The richest families in this village live separately from each other. If you don’t know, you might think that they have bad relationships and don’t want to live next to each other.

However, Jiang Yu felt that a small house did not necessarily mean poverty. There was a family not far from the Zhuang family's old house. There were 12 people in the family, and none of them looked pale or skinny. Jiang Yu didn't know where their income came from, or whether it was related to Yi Chi, but it didn't matter. She could still observe.

There is no rush now, she just needs to take action before Yi Chi completes the first step of his plan.

The reason for deciding to do this is that Jiang Yu guessed that those people would definitely not keep all the things at home. Maybe there is some treasure trove in the mountains!

Yi Chi said that Sixth Uncle couldn't leave, which probably meant that something had happened. After his house was robbed, there were problems that had to be solved. They were very likely to take the hidden property. Jiang Yu had this idea and planned to follow them and take all the things away.

In the next few days, Jiang Yu either went to the mountains or hid in the trees to observe the villagers.

Xue Li hadn't found Jiang Yu during the day for several days, and suddenly became curious about what she was busy with.

However, before she could catch the ginger fish, the villagers started to harvest sweet potatoes. This was the last wave of food. Once the winter vegetables were harvested before the snow fell, they could divide the food for the winter.

Jiang Yu was also in the team harvesting sweet potatoes. She mingled with the villagers and knew how to use a hoe. She was not skilled at the beginning and broke several sweet potatoes. Jiang Yu silently restrained her strength, adjusted the angle, and swung the hoe again.

Grandma Yang, who was working with Jiang Yu, immediately clapped her hands and said, "Yes, that's right. Loosen the soil around it and the sweet potato can be dug out without damaging it. Master Jiang is really smart!"

Jiang Yu felt helpless and could only wield the hoe and work skillfully.

As he was busy, the villagers nearby also began to praise him, saying that he was strong, had good eyesight, was smart and capable...

Jiang Yu dug two acres of land in a hurry in the whole morning. Grandma Yang, who was picking sweet potatoes behind her, was so tired that she called all her grandchildren to help, but they could not catch up with her speed.

The scorer gave her a thumbs-up, gave her full work points, and asked her if she would come in the afternoon.

"If you come, I have to arrange for someone else to follow you. Grandma Yang will be busy picking sweet potatoes from these two acres of land today."

"No." Jiang Yu thought, everyone in the village has gone out to work, so there shouldn't be many people left in the village, just the right time to check out the place! Observe up close who is rich and who is poor.

"Okay, then give me the hoe. I just happen to want to go over there and take a look." The scorers have to patrol back and forth on the ridges of the fields. In addition to helping people record work points, they also work part-time as supervisors. The area he patrols is not far from the temporary farm tool shed.

Jiang Yu was not polite. He said thank you, handed the hoe to the other party, patted the dirt off his body, and left first.

Grandma Yang's little grandson looked at the turned land with envy and said to her grandmother, "Grandma, will I be as strong as Master Jiang in the future? Then I can earn enough work points to buy meat for grandma!"

Grandma Yang looked at her grandson tenderly and said, "You don't need to be as strong as her. My little darling needs to study hard and become a worker in the future. How can you dig the soil to eat in the countryside?"

"Why should we study? Didn't all the educated youth receive education? Didn't they still end up farming?" The little grandson of the Yang family pouted. He didn't want to study.

"How can you be the same as them?" Grandma Yang curled her lips in disdain. "Anyway, you have to study hard. Grandma will send you to be a worker, okay? You can earn a lot of money as a worker. Not only can you eat meat, but you can also get a house~"
