Chapter 58： go up the mountain

The throbbing pain from the obscure place made Lei Jin stop. The size of Xi Ya's thing is really amazing. Now that I think about it, I don't know how he could fit it in at that time. In those two nights, the two of them did it again. , Injuries are inevitable, but Lei Jin has always been stubborn, he can't hold back, pretending to be nothing, Xi Ya once wanted to give him medicine, but Lei Jin insisted on rejecting it, thinking about the first time with him When Mo Ya was together, it was painful at the time, but didn't it work the next day?

In the past two days, Lei Jin secretly began to regret it a little bit. Not to mention the pain, he didn't dare to take big steps while walking, Jing Yue's eyes were a little puzzled.

After breakfast, I packed up and took the stone knife and rope. Hao Chen, Lei Jin and Jing Ping went up the mountain. Although the sun had already risen, the fog in the forest had not yet dissipated. The body is wet, but fortunately the birds are gentle and crisp, and the air is cool and moist, making people open-minded and refreshing, it is a good place to go.

Jing Ping carried the stone knife and rope, hummed a tune that only he could understand, and walked briskly in front of him. Two petite blue and yellow finches hovered above his head and chirped non-stop. Jing Ping raised his hands to frighten him. They, the two little birds flapped their wings and flew out not far, and then folded back, deliberately opposing Jing Ping.

Jing Ping turned his head, his delicate little face was filled with pure happiness, and he did not complain very seriously: "Ah, Lei Jin, these two little birds don't know what they are talking about, they don't understand, and they won't drive away. ."

Haochen smiled soothingly and said, "You can even understand the voice of a bird, that's okay."

Jing Ping took a deep breath, opened his hands, stretched his waist, and said, "Yes, how can anyone understand what a bird says? Go find your own kind, little blue bird."

Lei Jin remembered the little guy at home and smiled knowingly. Although he didn't ask carefully, it seemed that the little guy could understand not only birds, but also other beasts. When he was at home, he often saw little guys and crows. And the little fox got together, and the "quarrel" was quite intense.

"Lei Jin, what good things do you remember? Why are you so happy?" Jing Ping saw that Lei Jin's always indifferent and calm eyebrows were rarely gentle and soft.

"Just think of a little guy." When I met him, I thought it was a rather large cat? She is clingy, and she likes to act like a spoiled child. Thinking about those slapstick days, it's like a lifetime. I don't know what the little guy is doing at home now. I really miss him.

In fact, what Lei Jin didn't know was that the little guy was no longer at home. An Sen and An Luo came home and told the news of Lei Jin's disappearance. The next night, Mingya slipped out of the house in the dark, and together Also disappeared were the little fox and the crow who were about to build a nest in his house.

"Oh." Seeing that Lei Jin didn't want to go on, Jing Ping stopped asking.

"There is a river in front of it, and there is a large area on the bank that you mentioned..." Jing Ping scratched his head, thought for a while, and said, "The rice you mentioned."

There are some paths in the forest, and the ground is slippery. Haochen carefully supported Lei Jin, and did not forget to ask Jingping to look at his feet.

"Ah, snake." Jing Ping suddenly exclaimed loudly, Lei Jin quickly looked at it worriedly, and suddenly rolled his eyes quietly in his heart. Just as amazing as Jing Ping's exclamation was his series of unusually sturdy movements, and also Before the snake lying on the road could react, Jing Ping went down with a few knives, and the snake's head was already smashed.

Jing Ping patted his chest, trotted back, his face was extremely rosy after exercising, and said, "You scared me to death just now."

Lei Jin thought to himself, I haven't seen that you're scared yet. Just looking at the fierceness just now, he suspected that Jing Ping's usual confused little white rabbit was just pretending.

"A very fat snake." Haochen grabbed it with his hands indifferently and looked up and down.

He was indeed very fat, about the thickness of Lei Jin's wrist, and he was about three or four meters long by visual inspection. He was not small, but he was a little dull. He died in Jing Ping's hands before he died.

Haochen seemed to be very experienced. After checking it up and down, he said, "No poison, let's add vegetables tonight." He raised his hand and threw it into the bamboo basket behind him.

The path twists and turns, and finally Jingping is familiar with the road, and the three of them talk and laugh and arrive at their destination. This is a relatively flat open space in the forest, with the river flowing through, the trees are sparse, and the grass is all over.

Although Lei Jin knew rice, he didn't know about the rice that grows in the ground with ears.

Haochen and the others are not very clear, they are also mixed on weekdays.

It took a lot of effort for Lei Jin to distinguish between the rice and the weeds. Hao Chen and Jing Ping started to harvest. Coincidentally, this time was the ripening season for these wild rice. They were all delighted. The two of them listened to Lei Jin saying that this thing could be eaten, so they put a lot of effort into it, and they actually harvested a lot.

But Lei Jin saw that the ears were a little light and not full, and the rice grains were shriveled and shriveled. It was estimated that they would not receive much. The three of them did not go back at noon. Haochen brought some cooked meat, and the water in the river was readily available. , The three of them made do with a meal, and continued in the afternoon. During the period, someone passed by and saw them busy mowing the grass and saying hello, but no one cared.

In the middle of the afternoon, when the cut rice was tied together with a rope, Haochen and Jingping each carried a large bundle that was higher than their heads, but there was still a lot left. I was worried about how to get them back, but Kunge just saw that they hadn't gone back, and came to the mountain. With the orcs around, naturally there is no need to worry, he alone divided most of it, and the rest of Haochen and Jingping was relieved.

The rice came back and was spread out in the backyard to dry.

Up to now, Lei Jin could bear it for a while, but Jing Ping couldn't bear it any longer, and kept asking how the rice was eaten. Lei Jin had to talk about the two most common methods, porridge and steamed rice.

Without tools, I had to rub it with my hands. By dinner time, Jing Ping really made a big bowl of rice grains.

"Lei Jin, how much water do I need to add to this?" Jing Ping shouted in the kitchen.

"Add five bowls of water." Lei Jin guessed that the rice grains were not easy to cook. It was always right to add more water and firewood to boil them.

Jing Ping obediently added more firewood to the stove. After the pot was boiled, it was boiled on a low fire, and the fragrance of the rice soon dissipated.

"Jing Ping, what are you doing at home? Why is it so fragrant?" Jing Ping's kitchen was next to the outer wall, and a middle-aged female passed by the door and probed in and asked.

"It's the rice that Lei Jin was looking for." Jing Ping replied with a smile.

"Oh, it's the female Jingyue who came back." The visitor just asked casually, and then left.

"They don't even know what rice is. It smells really delicious. Let's get some tomorrow, shall we?" Jing Ping lay on the arm of the chair Lei Jin was sitting on, his eyes lit up.

Lei Jin thought so too, the more the better, he nodded in agreement.

Haochen came back from running errands, cleaned up the snake, put it into the pot, and added a whole pheasant to cook it together.

At dinner, Lei Jin drank the long-lost rice porridge, which was warm and thick. He felt that his stomach that had been tortured for a long time was finally comforted. There were also delicious snake meat and pheasant. The four of them had a beautiful meal. Kun Ge, the only beastman in the family who has always been fond of meat, also drank a bowl of rice porridge, and Lian Zan tasted really good.

In the next few days, the main thing for the three of them was to go up the mountain to harvest rice, and Kunge came to help when they had time. The neighbors watched their family go in and out all day long, and after careful inquiries, they even wanted to eat chicken food. ? Everyone thought it was incomprehensible, but the person who passed by Jingping's house had a lot of heart. In the past few days, he often followed Lei Jin and the others into the mountains to harvest rice. Rice is wild, so naturally everyone can harvest it. Besides, there are more A lot, and no one stopped him.

It's just that there was something wrong with the orc son of his family. He was obviously absent-minded. Although he said he was harvesting rice, his eyes always glanced at Jing Ping and Lei Jin.

Jing Ping has always been slow, and since he is still young, he is naturally insensitive to these things, but Lei Jin is different. From the first glance, he knows that this guy named Rong Chuan has bad intentions.

Just like Jing Ping was bending over to harvest rice, his shirt slipped open, revealing a thin waist, and Rong Chuan could not take his eyes off the other side of the river.

Lei Jin walked over, blocked Jing Ping's body, raised his eyebrows, and gave him a warning look. That Rongchuan immediately lowered his head and pretended to continue harvesting rice.

The rice at home has been dried and cannot be opened, and a few people discussed that after cutting them in the morning, they will not make it for the time being until the yard is free.

"Lei Jin, you can just wait here. Ah Mei and I have to carry it again. Maybe my brother and Xiya will be back today." Jing Ping and Hao Chen carried the bundled up back.

"Alright, I happened to be watching our stuff here too," Lei Jin replied.

Haochen saw that there were still people walking around in the woods from time to time, and besides, there were no large beasts haunting here, and it was estimated that nothing would happen, so he agreed.

Watching them walk away, Lei Jin used his feet to put the rope and stone knives together, and sat on the straw to rest for a while. A large area of ​​the place was harvested by them. The ground was empty, only some tall grass around it. .

Behind Lei Jin, a figure looked around for a while, and seeing that no one was paying attention, he moved over lightly with his toes on his toes...
