Chapter 13: Think Meat & Lies

Spring is the season when all things grow. When he got here, he walked into

nature and into the fields, only then did Qu Qing understand the true meaning

of this sentence.

Flowers and plants grow wildly, trees sprout prosperous new leaves,

butterflies and bees are flying around, here, there is nothing bad about the

scenery, Qu Qing is in it, but he has no mind to slow down and appreciate it,

and he is distracted and digging with a sickle All kinds of edible wild

vegetables that grow on the ground.

After waiting for a while to calm down, I realized that I had dug up too many

wild vegetables, enough to eat for two days, so I put my hand away and walked

back with the wild vegetables in my arms.

During the interval, I looked up and squinted at the sun in the sky, guessing

that it should be close to twelve o'clock at noon, and it was time for lunch,

and my stomach was indeed starting to be hungry.

He touched his stomach, remembering the various meats from the past, and

couldn't help swallowing. So far, three days have passed since he came to this

world, and Qu Qing also found that he began to crave meat. He has eaten

vegetables for three consecutive days. The oil and water are pitiful, and

there is no meat at all. When I touched it, I felt that the bird was about to

fade out of my mouth.

Walking to the edge of the field, he said to the big and small people who were

working in the field: "Go home and eat."

When the two saw him appear, they both breathed a sigh of relief. Hua Zizhou

took the tools, pulled Qu Xin, and followed behind Qu Qing.

Qu Qing temporarily put the unpleasantness that happened just now to the back

of his mind, and thought in his heart, is there any way to improve his current

life and let himself eat meat.

He listed all the ways he could think of and discussed various possibilities

to get meat.

Hunting, of course, is one of the fastest ways to see meat, but for him now,

it is definitely not possible. First, he needs to farm, and he has no time for

the time being. Second, he is just an ordinary pampered modern man. In modern

times, I haven’t even watched any shows about survival in the wilderness. The

experience of survival in the wild is basically zero, and I don’t know

anything about the mountains here.

It’s definitely not okay to break the law, so the next best thing is to raise

chickens, ducks and fish by yourself… Wait, fish?

Qu Qing immediately remembered this. There is water here. If you can catch

fish, then you can eat meat? Although he has never caught fish before, he can

find a way. This is always easier than hunting, but he just doesn't know where

fish can be caught.

After thinking for a while, he glanced back as he walked: "Zizhou, let me ask

you a question."

Hua Zizhou grabbed the cat and kept thinking in his mind how to calm him down,

but at this moment he heard that Qu Qing actually took the initiative to talk

to him.

"Is there any fish in the river under the mountain?"

"Yes, do you want to go catch fish?"

"Let's talk about it... I don't have time now." Qu Qing thought about the

unfinished work in his field. Now is not the right time to waste time on

fishing, so he temporarily stopped this thought, but then he thought again,

although He can't take the initiative to catch fish, but he can make tools for

catching fish, such as fish cages, etc., put them in the river to wait for the

fish to be hooked, and occasionally improve the food.

After thinking about it, he decided to put this matter on the agenda for the

time being. Anyway, there are so many bamboos here. After working on the farm

at night, before it gets completely dark, he can try to make a primitive fish

cage by himself. Anyway, There is no cost to failure.

In addition, raising chickens and ducks can also be included in the plan, and

a series of livestock, such as cattle, pigs, dogs, etc., will also be

considered in the future.

Only by raising these livestock can you let yourself eat meat whenever you

want. As for buying, don't think about it now, at least until he finds a way

to make money, it is impossible to buy meat as a luxury. considerate.

Even after farming and harvesting, he still needs to pay the grain tax, which

means that not all the things grown in his land belong to him, and it is not

known whether the tax is high in this period.

After thinking about these miscellaneous things, Qu Qing felt that it was

necessary for him to make a five-year plan for his life in ancient times.

When I got home, I was already very hungry, probably because I was doing

physical work, and I ate very little oil and water, so even if I ate a lot in

the morning, I was still very hungry.

Seeing that there was not enough food, Qu Qing cooked just enough rice for two

large and one snacks according to the ration, and began to think about getting

wild vegetables.

Hua Zizhou took Qu Xin and looked at Qu Qing while he was speechless, and

said, "There is not much rice at home, in fact... Qu Xin and I can eat less

and save some food..." For a few days, he was busy inside and out, and he

already knew the food reserves of this family very well. It was happy to be

full after eating, but watching the food dwindling, he also gradually grew

worried and apologetic in his heart.

Qu Qing doesn't like to be questioned by others about what he has decided.

Besides, Hua Zizhou and he are people from two different worlds. From growing

up to what they have learned, there is no common language at all, plus the

unpleasantness just now. The episode made Qu Qing realize that the two of them

didn't trust him 100%, so he was a little unhappy. Naturally, he didn't want

to say a word about the problem he didn't want to talk about, so he cooked

rice. After that, I felt the pain in my hand that touched the water when I

washed the rice just now, so I let Hua Zizhou cook directly.

"Remember to wash it clean, you must not let mud or insects appear in the

dishes, understand?" The subtle cleanliness is the reason why he has been

insisting on cooking by himself these days.

Hua Zizhou nodded to indicate that he knew, and only after Qu Qing went out

did he realize that what he had just said was a good intention, but was

ignored, and Qu Xin, who was following behind him, also wanted to approach Qu

Qing, but when he saw Qu Qing With a cold expression, he did not dare to

approach.

After Qu Qing ordered to go out, both of them felt a little uncomfortable. Hua

Zizhou was washing the wild vegetables nervously, and Qu Xin, who was next to

him, also helped, but both of them looked worried.

The dining table was very silent, and it was relatively silent in the past,

but Qu Qing would serve them separately, but today is different. They didn't

have any interaction other than immersing themselves in the meal.

After Qu Qing finished eating, he sat down and rested for a while, when he

suddenly heard the cry of a child. There was no one living nearby, and there

was a mountain behind him, so he was a little curious about who it was. A

little boy of about ten years old, the boy passed his house while crying,

looking very pitiful.

Qu Qing glanced behind him, but did not find any adults following him. Hua

Zizhou also came out to have a look. In order to talk to Qu Qing, he

tentatively opened his mouth and said, "It turned out to be the child of the

Orion family. "

"Orion?" Qu Qing thought of the idea that he wanted to hunt in the morning,

thinking about the possibility that if he had a good relationship with this

child, he would be able to find his father to learn the arts.

"Yeah, but I heard from people in the village that the hunter has been in the

mountains for over a month and hasn't come back, so 80% of the time he died in

the mountains."

Qu Qing felt a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that he just wanted to be

a teacher. The person who had not been worshipped by him was rumored to be

dead. He asked, "Is there no one in this child's family?"

When Hua Zizhou saw that Qu Qing was willing to talk to him, he immediately

began to jump up in his heart. He pressed the corner of his mouth that he

wanted to bend, and pretended to calmly explain: "His mother died a few years

ago, and he and his father are the only ones at home. If Dad really died, then

he would be an orphan..." After speaking, his tone became a little sad and

sympathetic, and he felt that this child was even more pitiful than himself.

The children who were crying and passing by probably heard what they said, and

immediately stared at Qu Qing fiercely, crying very loudly, shouting: "Your

father is dead, my father is not dead, my father is fine! He is fine! Be back

soon!"

Hua Zizhou's father was really dead, and he suddenly felt that he was choked

by the child's words.

But Qu Qing, who was next to him, suddenly smiled and said loudly to the

little boy: "You are right, my father is indeed dead. Hey! Little boy, why

were you crying just now?"

"I'll take care of you!" The child still roared back viciously, then

stubbornly wiped the tears and snot from his face with his sleeve, restrained

his crying and continued to walk forward on his own.

In Qu Qing's eyes, he was nothing more than a scared kitten.

Looking at the direction the child was going, Qu Qing remembered what Hua

Zizhou said just now, the child probably went into the mountains to find his

father, but not to mention that his father has not been home for a month, if

something really happened in the mountains, I am afraid that even now The

bones were eaten up by the wild beasts. Besides, he was a child who didn't

even grow his hair. He went into the mountain so rashly, or it was still deep

in the mountains. If he went there, it would definitely be a dead end.

Seeing that he was already walking on the mountain road, Qu Qing was still

worried in the end. Hua Zizhou and Qu Xin next to him didn't speak, they just

kept silent. Maybe he knew that he was not the master of this family, or maybe

it was because he knew that the family brought There is not enough food to

eat. Thinking of the coming days of starvation, there is no extra kindness to

spread out. No matter what they think, it is certain that they have no plans

to care.

Qu Qing can't stand it a little. If he doesn't see this kind of thing, he can

talk with others and sigh with everyone, but if he meets, and only he meets,

if he doesn't care, he thinks Your own conscience will be condemned all the

time.

But my current situation is that the mud Bodhisattva is crossing the river,

and it is difficult for me to protect myself. The food at home is not enough

to eat, and I can't live there. After a month, the food has not been obtained.

Reason told him that he couldn't agree, but emotionally, Qu Qing couldn't sit

back and watch.

Distraught, seeing that the child will soon disappear, he finally gritted his

teeth, walked out for a while, and shouted at the child's back, "Hey! Little

boy!"

The back in the grass over there paused, turned to look at Qu Qing, and did

not reply.

"If—you haven't found your father by night, then come to my house!"

A slight echo echoed through the mountains.

After Qu Qing shouted, he scolded himself for his tendency to be a bad guy,

but he didn't regret it.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Qu Qing's words, the child replied very angry: "Go

away! Don't be rude, I have my father! I will definitely find my father!"

After that, he turned and ran up the mountain , as if there were some beasts

chasing him behind him.

Qu Qing looked at the back of the child and thought to himself that he had

said all that, and it was impossible to forcibly tie people to his own house.

If he could do this, he was worthy of his conscience. If the child does not

come, then he will be himself. choice, and I, a bystander and an outsider, did

my best.

He stopped looking at the kid who was rushing up the mountain, turned around

and went back to the house, intending to find two pieces of cloth wrapped in

his palms to facilitate the afternoon farm work.

On the other side, when Qu Qing shouted, Hua Zizhou, who was washing the

dishes in the room, moved for a while, and immediately recalled that three

days ago, when Qu Qing said "come in" to himself, it was exactly the same as

what he said to the child now.

Qu Qing is really a very good person.

The corners of his eyes couldn't help but get a little wet, and he felt that

he was the most despicable person in the world. He quietly wiped the corners

of his eyes with his sleeves, and continued to wash the dishes with his head

down. When the water was poured out, he quietly pulled Qu The letter went

under the tree in the distance, and asked him very seriously: "Cat, is your

father the best person in the world?"

Xiao Quxin didn't understand why he suddenly called his old name again. He

clearly said that he would never call him that name again. When he saw his sad

father, he seemed to understand something. He didn't ask any more questions.

Hesitantly nodded to answer the question: "Yes!"

"Then..." Hua Zizhou's voice suddenly fell a lot, he lowered his head and

blinked hard, trying to hold back the tears, "Let's, don't lie to him again,

okay, he is really a good person, the village There will never be someone

better than him. I am not afraid that he will find out our secret and then be

kicked out. However, I am afraid that I will betray his trust and let him know

that we deliberately hide it from him. I'm sorry, cat, daddy assures you that

you are definitely not a monster, nor an ominous person, but... other people

will think so, they will think so, if I let him know, I don't want to deceive

him, let alone... I don't want to go from There was disappointment in his

eyes..."

Xiao Qu Xin slowly opened his other eye, the bright sapphire blue, his eyes

filled with sadness, but let him bring a strange beauty, he quietly looked at

Hua Zizhou, and after a while, he finally realized the Slowly spit out a heavy

and sad word.

"good."
