Chapter 24

Delicious Pheasant Meat

“She is a good child. Now that she’s bright and capable, Liu Shi will be able to relax in the future.”

Uncle Wang nodded.

“We should help them as much as possible,” Uncle Wang added.

“Of course,” Aunt Wang said as she glanced at Uncle Wang.

Lin Xiaoyue did not hear this at all. She took the basket and ran home as fast as she could.

She wanted to go back and eat pheasant! She had been craving it for a long time!

At home, Liu Shi was cleaning up the firewood in front of the stove. When she saw her daughter, who looked like she was afraid that they would finish the pheasant without her, running back, she couldn’t help but laugh.

“Don’t clean up yet mom. Let’s eat!” Lin Xiaoyue put the basket on her back into her interspatial ring and took a bowl to get the pheasant meat.

Each of them took a big bowl and served it on the small dining table.

“Mom, it’s time to eat!” The little boy saw the pheasant meat and called out to his mother who was still cleaning up anxiously.

“Okay,” Liu Shi smiled and finally put down the broom in her hand.

Soon, the three of them came to the table and started eating.

The taste was so satisfying.

Lin Xiaoyue was the first to finish it. After finishing the meat, she even finished the soup.

Then she went to the stove and got another bowl for herself.

Lin Xiaozhi copied his sister. After finishing the meat, he also drank the broth.

Although he still wanted to eat, her stomach was already full, so his mother stopped him.

Liu Shi added half a bowl, but she couldn’t eat anymore.

So Lin Xiaoyue got one more bowl for herself. The mother and son were both a little surprised.

Lin Xiaoyue explained that she had used too much energy during the day to hunt, so it was normal for her to eat so much. Only then did the mother and son feel relieved.

After finishing the third bowl of pheasant meat and soup, Lin Xiaoyue felt full.

The feeling of being 90% full from eating good food made her feel that life was so wonderful.

She also quickly decided that she would eat meat at home more often in the future!

After the meal, Liu Shi put the leftover pheasant meat and soup into a bowl and put them into her interspatial ring. She was ready to listen to Lin Xiaoyue’s plan of using them to make noodles the next morning.

Then, she washed the dishes and the pot before letting Lin Xiaoyue heat up the bath water.

“Mom, is our village far from the town?” Thinking about going to town tomorrow, Lin Xiaoyue couldn’t help but feel excited.

“No.” Liu Shi finished cleaning the stove and picked up the broom to sweep the floor.

“How long will it take?” Lin Xiaoyue asked again.

“Forty-five minutes if we walk fast.” Daishi Village was really not far from town. After leaving the village, it wouldn’t be long before they would reach the main road. If it was by ox-cart, it would only take thirty minutes to get to town. If it was by horse-cart, she heard that it would take at least fifteen minutes to get there.

Lin Xiaoyue was stunned.

Forty-five minutes? The distance would be at least four kilometers. It was… not too far.

“We have a lot of things to carry. We have to leave early tomorrow morning.” Without waiting for Lin Xiaoyue to speak, Liu Shi said, “I have already told Aunt Wang that I will send Xiaozhi over before dawn tomorrow morning. I will ask her to look after him for half a day. We will go pick him up when we return from town.”

“Oh right, how many prey did you hunt in the afternoon?”

Liu Shi guessed that the prey her daughter brought back in the afternoon was not all of it. It was because it seemed less than the amount she got in the morning.

She did not object to her daughter’s actions. Instead, she felt that it was very good. If others knew that her daughter could hunt so well, they would definitely look at her differently.
