The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house

Jiang Yan looked at the high-spirited young man in front of her, and the hatchet in her hand felt heavier.

"Aunt Jiang, aren't you taking the first graders with you?"

"No, let them guard the house."

"Oh, shall we go now?"

"Go." Jiang Yan's mood improved a lot after being infected by the emotions of the three young boys.

"Then let's go." Dasheng said and took the lead walking south along the stream.

"Let's go hunting!"

"Old Three, stop shouting. You're scaring away the prey."

"Oh."

"This~" Yichen thought, isn't this the place where she and her mother went to pick wild vegetables last time?

Jiang Yan didn't let her speak, but reached out and picked her up.

"Mom, I can walk by myself."

At this moment, Sansheng had already rushed to the front, constantly pulling at the lush wormwood with the stick in his hand. Hearing Yichen's words, he hurriedly turned around and said, "Sister Chenchen, you should let us take turns carrying you. Otherwise, look at these wormwoods, they are taller than me. If you walk by yourself, you might get lost in a short time."

Yichen looked in the direction of Brother Sansheng's voice and saw that the tall wormwood had become Brother Sansheng's background. She silently swallowed back her last stubbornness.

Sansheng was very experienced and led the way in front, using a stick to pull up the wormwood, and the rest of the people followed behind.

In this way they walked along the stream, and the scenery became more and more desolate.

Yi Chen: "How come I just realized today that our Thirteen Banners is really too big."

"Hahaha." Sister Chenchen, you've only been to a few places. Let me tell you, I haven't even been here many times.

"Actually, my dad and I come here the most often. Especially in the spring, when there's not much food left in the jars, my dad would bring me here to catch pheasants and rabbits."

"Are there many pheasants and rabbits here?"

"I can't really say, it should be considered a lot, because my father never returns empty-handed."

"Well, my dad brought my eldest brother here, so we can have meat to eat."

"Then we should try not to come back empty-handed." Yi Chen thought for a moment and added, "We should get a lot, and then have my mother make us spicy diced rabbit and braised chicken."

"Wow, it sounds delicious." Sansheng moved the stick in his hand faster.

Jiang Yan didn't know that not long after they left, the captain came with his men.

Across the river, the captain didn't see the Jiang mother and daughter, so he asked Zhang Xiaoqi, "Did Madam Jiang go to work far away?"

"No."

"Where are Madam Jiang and her daughter?" the captain asked as he crossed the small stone bridge. He was secretly happy that without Madam Jiang, he could go and see his beloved rice seedlings.

Zhang Xiaoqi: The captain asked him where Madam Jiang had gone. Did he tell the truth or not?

Captain Dong: ...?

"Well, Madam Jiang went hunting with a few children."

"????"

Captain Dong thought he had heard it wrong and his head was full of questions.

Zhang Xiaoqi quickly explained, "At that time, Madam Jiang said she wanted to go hunting, so my three boys went along to join in the fun."

Captain Dong was still a little bit unconvinced.

"The eldest took my bow and arrows, the second took the hatchet from home, and the third followed with a stick."

"What did that Madam Jiang take?"

"From a distance, I saw it as a hatchet."

"Hahaha." Captain Dong couldn't help it anymore, so he sat down on the edge of the field and looked down at his beloved rice seedlings.

After a long while, he finally said, "I'm going to stay here today and see what kind of wild animals Madam Jiang can hunt."

Thinking about it, Captain Dong stood up on the ridge again. He rubbed his chest vigorously and finally let out a breath of air. After a few breaths, he said half-jokingly, "I almost got internal injuries from holding it in."

Zhang Xiaoqi wanted to say: Is that so?

But when he thought about it, when he heard Madam Jiang say she was going hunting, it seemed even more exaggerated than the captain, and his eyes almost fell to the ground.

Jiang Yan didn't know that Captain Dong and Zhang Xiaoqi were secretly wanting to see her fun.

Finally, they crossed the stream and there was an open area on the other side of the river.

The weeds here are not tall enough and you can clearly see the hillside in the distance.

Yichen liked this place very much, so she asked her mother to put her on the grass. She wanted to play by herself for a while and her mother could also take a rest.

Jiang Yan had no objection and gently put Yi Chen on the grass.

Yichen looked around on the grass and came to a conclusion. "Mom, the scenery here is nice, perfect for a picnic."

Before Jiang Yan could answer, Sansheng asked, "Sister Chenchen, what is a picnic?"

“Let’s just sit here and eat.”

"I see, let's eat outside."

"Yeah, Brother Dasheng is right."

"Does roasting house sparrows and pheasant eggs with my brothers count?"

"Calculated."

"Then I like picnics. Hehe, big brother, you have to do your best today."

Sansheng excitedly somersaulted several times on the grass, then stood on one leg, imitating Monkey King's movements of exploring the way.

But before he could raise his hand, he saw a large bird fluttering up from the reeds in the distance, followed by several more birds fluttering up.

Yi Chen: "Wild duck."

Jiang Yan also saw it. She picked up her daughter and ran towards the reed marsh where the wild ducks had just taken off.

Dasheng and his younger brothers hurriedly followed.

When they got close to where the wild ducks flew up, they heard the quacking of little ducks in the reeds.

Yichen's eyes lit up instantly, and she said in a baby voice, "It's quite lively, there are little ducks."

"Yeah." The three Shengs nimbly entered the reed marsh. They saw a bunch of furry little wild ducks, and their eyes were brighter than Yichen's.

"Aunt Jiang, should we catch these little ducks?"

"Are there any wild duck eggs?"

"Yes, a lot."

"Then let's ignore these little ducks and pick up the wild duck eggs first."

"okay."

The three of them got Aunt Jiang's idea and moved around in the reed marsh as nimbly as monkeys.

Jiang Yan was now extremely grateful that Ersheng was carrying a backpack when he came out.

Guan had asked them to carry it. At the time, Zhang Xiaoqi even said, "Do you really expect them to bring back a basket of prey?"

Look at how Guan answered, "Even if I only pick a basket of wild vegetables, it's better than them coming back empty-handed."

Zhang Xiaoqi: "So you're asking them to walk several miles just to pick wild vegetables?"

"What else can I do? I saw that Jiang Meizi's face was not right, and she didn't even dare to tell him about the scholar."

"Why didn't you say anything? The scholar is still waiting for our reply."

"I'm afraid that telling Miss Jiang will make her feel even worse. Also, I see that Chenchen's eyes are looking at me strangely. It's like this little girl knows what I want to say and she doesn't agree."
