"Let's start 'bird fishing' now."
Everyone suddenly realized that she was aiming at the birds in the sky.
"Little sister, can this method really work?"
Shi Gaoyuan waited for a while, then leaned close to Jiang Jinhe's ear and asked quietly.
After all these years of hunting, this is the first time I've seen this trick.
Jiang Jinhe was full of confidence and answered with a smile:
"Brother Shi, relax. It will work soon."
Before he finished speaking, there was movement on the other end.
"Hey! Come on, come on! There's something going on!"
"Grab it! Quick, quick, quick!"
"Yo! I grabbed the wings!"
Before Shi Gaoyuan and Song Wenqin could make a move, the others had already rushed forward and captured the massive bird. Its wingspan was nearly two meters, and it was estimated to weigh around 17 or 18 kilograms.
Jiang Jinhe stepped forward only after everyone had subdued the bird.
Everyone's heart was pounding, as if they had conquered the sky, and they couldn't hide their excitement.
"How do you prepare this poultry meat? Is it delicious?"
"What are you worrying about? Look who's doing this!"
Hearing everyone talking, Jiang Jinhe interrupted with a smile.
"This isn't for eating. Let's keep it and sell it in the county town tomorrow to get more food."
Although a little disappointed, everyone agreed. As it was getting late, they decided to try to catch another one.
The group returned with a load of bamboo rats and happened to meet a group from Ayuan Village who were out looking for food.
The empty-handed villagers' eyes turned green when they saw the fat bamboo rat.
They ignored the envious looks and walked straight through the crowd to go home.
Back in the village, Jiang Jinhe instructed people to take good care of the birds and distributed bamboo rats to the elderly in the village, while the extra ones were stored. Because Aunt Xu had a child with her, Jiang Jinhe gave her an extra one.
Not far away, the people of Ayuan Village witnessed all this, and many of them regretted their actions.
If I hadn't fallen out with Jiang Jinhe and the others, maybe I could have gotten some meat.
Zhang Xiuqin and Xie Xiaofang were particularly jealous, especially when they saw everyone being so respectful to Jiang Jinhe. The fire of jealousy almost burned their rationality.
"These old bones still want to eat? The food should be left for us young people!"
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let them hear us, or we'll be in trouble if they ignore us."
The old people sat in a circle, and Jiang Jinhe and others helped to deal with the bamboo rats.
Everyone gave their peeled furs to Jiang Jinhe and vied with each other to offer the best part of the leg meat, but she declined them all with a smile.
If these elderly people were ten or twenty years younger, she would really like to take them all with her...
The people in the village are a hundred times better than the selfish people in Ayuan's place.
Many elderly people, who have been hungry for a long time, feel full after eating a little and pack up the leftovers to take home.
Aunt Xu’s portion was the most generous.
There were two good bamboo rats, and after cleaning them up, there were still more than ten pounds of meat. How could the grandfather and grandson eat so much?
Zhang Xiuqin and Xie Xiaofang saw the whole scene.
Their eyes met and their greed for each other was self-evident.
They put aside their past grudges and now have a common goal.
Xie Xiaofang took action first, lured away Aunt Xu's granddaughter, and went straight to the location where Guan Mengqin was.
They kept the bird and planned to sell it alive, but unexpectedly it became a bargain for the two of them.
Then, Zhang Xiuqin pretended to take a walk past Aunt Xu's house. Seeing the old woman had gone out to look for her grandson, she casually said that the child had gone out to watch birds.
When Aunt Xu heard this, she became anxious and hurried to look for the child.
Zhang Xiuqin took the opportunity to sneak into Aunt Xu's backyard and stole the hidden bamboo rat meat.
When Aunt Xu arrived, she saw her granddaughter with her back to the bird of prey. The originally sleepy beast suddenly raised its head and pecked at the child with its sharp beak.
Aunt Xu's heart tightened, and she flew over to protect her granddaughter, blocking the attack with her back.
Erya fell to the ground, looking at her unconscious grandmother and the blood on the bird's mouth, she burst into tears in fear.
The child's crying attracted the attention of the guards.
He was a young man who went down the mountain with Shi Gaoyuan. He was only sixteen years old. Thinking that the bird could not fly because it was tied up, he was lazy and went to sleep.
Hearing the noise, he jumped out of bed and stumbled over to check.
Seeing the old man fall to the ground, the child crying loudly, and the birds with blood in their mouths, he felt like the sky was about to fall.
If the boss knew that he had left his post without permission, he would definitely not let him off.
Before he could get closer, other people came running over after hearing the noise.
"Aunt Xu, Erya!"
As Jiang Jinhe was shouting, Shi Gaoyuan had already picked up the child and kicked the bird unconscious.
Jiang Jinhe carefully examined Aunt Xu, while Song Wenqin frowned beside her.
The young man had a look of regret on his face and told the whole story in a fluent manner.
"I, I went to sleep because I thought everything was fine. I didn't know the child and Aunt Xu would come here."
Jiang Jinhe realized that Aunt Xu was seriously injured, so everyone took down a door panel to make a stretcher and carried her home. On the way, Jiang Jinhe hugged Erya and asked her about what happened.
Even though the eight-year-old was sobbing and breathless, she still managed to explain the situation clearly.
When Jiang Jinhe heard that this matter was related to the two women, he was furious and almost lost control.
I was too soft-hearted. I gave them chances to mend their ways time and time again, but I never thought they would do such a thing.
When they arrived at Aunt Xu's house, Jiang Jinhe helped the old woman treat her wounds while asking people to search for the lost bamboo rat meat, but they found nothing.
"Brother Shi, please go to Ayuan Village and find Zhang Xiuqin and Xie Xiaofang. They must have taken Aunt Xu's things. Please help me get them back!"
Jiang Jinhe urged Shi Gaoyuan to hurry up, as if he was a step late, all the meat would be eaten up.
Jiang Jinhe felt upset. When she thought about how the food she had worked so hard to get was eaten by them without any courtesy, she felt like a stone was pressing on her chest.
Even if her things were thrown away and rotten, she would never let those people take advantage of them.
Looking at the pale-faced Aunt Xu, Jiang Jinhe frowned and carefully searched for the herbs he had left, but found that a crucial one was missing.
"I have to go up the mountain to collect herbs. You stay home and take care of the children and Aunt Xu."
I turned around to find Song Wenqin to discuss it, but there was no sign of him.
"Sister-in-law, are you looking for my brother? He had something urgent to do and went out earlier." Seeing this, Song Yuyu hurriedly explained.
"Okay, then I'll go up the mountain by myself. Yuyu, I'll leave the housework to you."
Although Song Wenqin was not there, Jiang Jinhe did not hesitate and went to the mountains after packing up.
At the same time, Shi Gaoyuan had brought back the items that Aunt Xu needed, so Zhang Xiuqin and Xie Xiaofang didn't dare to follow him.
Jiang Jinhe ignored it for the time being and planned to settle the score with them later.
Little did they know that after being warned by Shi Gaoyuan, the two men fled up the mountain in panic.
I happened to be hiding halfway up the mountain, and saw Jiang Jinhe walking up the mountain alone with a basket on his back.
"Sister-in-law! Look, that's Jiang Jinhe!"
Xie Xiaofang glared and pointed at Jiang Jinhe who was gradually approaching, her voice filled with uncontrollable excitement.
Zhang Xiuqin looked over when she heard the sound.
"From the looks of it, they're not here to look for us. I think they're going up the mountain to collect herbs. The old woman must be seriously injured, and that girl is proudly showing off her medical skills!"
