My husband is a sick cat

After the three of them entered the yard, Lu Jian took the reins from Tang Ying's hand and led the horse to the backyard. Tang Ying was about to go back to his room and continue reading when, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the sheets in the basket next to the firewood pile. Throw it in.

After Lu Jian sold the tiger last time, the sheets were randomly thrown into the basket. Later, because his mind was on that horse, he forgot about it.

When Tang Ying saw that the sheet was still in the basket, he guessed that Mrs. Zhou had not come to collect it because of fear. Although the sheet still looked very clean, it was impossible to continue using it to make the bed. It is also possible for Lu Jian to cover his prey.

However, he was used to being self-disciplined and couldn't bear to notice that things were not neat, so he reached for the sheets and planned to fold them.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jian's bow and backpack were actually placed under the bed sheet. Tang Ying didn't know there was anything in the backpack, but seeing this, he guessed that Lu Jian had forgotten to put it away, so he packed the bed sheet and picked up the backpack.

After mentioning it, I realized that the backpack was not light, and I immediately became suspicious. Did Lu Jian not finish the meatloaf last time he went hunting?

Based on Lu Jian's attitude towards eating, this possibility was very small, but Tang Ying still carried his backpack to the table, opened it and checked it. If there was anything uneaten, it would probably have gone bad.

When Zhou saw Tang Ying coming over with a backpack, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "Where did you find this bag? I didn't see it when I was packing Lu Jian's dirty clothes before. I thought it was lost and was about to give it to her. Make another one.”

From Zhou's point of view, Lu Jian is a good person, but a little confused. Although most of her things are neatly packed, there are also some small things that are placed everywhere instead of in fixed locations.

In addition to doing embroidery and cooking at home every day, she occasionally goes to the room where two people live to help clean up. In fact, there is nothing to clean up. Tang Ying is very self-disciplined. Her things are arranged neatly, and everything has a fixed place. .

She just put away the two people's dirty clothes, and occasionally helped Lu Jian collect the things scattered everywhere for Lu Jian's convenience.

As for the things in the yard, there wasn't much at all. Lu Jian took care of Ma by herself without her help, so Zhou didn't really have much to do.

She immediately discovered that the backpack she made for Lu Jian was missing. She thought it was damaged by Lu Jian while hunting, so she threw it away. Unexpectedly, her son found it.

"It's in the basket over there. She probably forgot about it."

Tang Ying said that he had already opened his backpack. When he lowered his head and saw the contents of the backpack, he was stunned.

"That's it."

Zhou nodded. The basket was used by Lu Jian to hold prey. It was big and heavy, and because of the shadow in her heart, she never touched the basket, not even the sheets thrown on top of the basket. receive.

With a crash, Tang Ying poured out the contents of his backpack. Zhou originally wanted to say something, but when she saw the contents poured out, she was stunned and forgot what to say. She only had a look on her face. surprise.

"Here, where did Lu Jian get these things?"

Looking at the various dried fruits and mushrooms mixed among them, Tang Ying thought for a moment and understood.

"I guess Ajian dug out a squirrel's nest."

It is not unusual to see squirrels in the back mountains, but they are basically invisible from the outside. However, some hunters have discovered squirrel nests while hunting and took out some dried fruits, dried mushrooms and the like.

Books also say that this kind of animal likes to hoard all kinds of food in its nest.

Looking at the table that was almost full of things, Mrs. Zhou was a little surprised: "How many nests did it take to get so much."

Tang Ying couldn't answer this question. He knew that squirrels would hoard food, but he didn't know how much they would hoard. Fortunately, at this time, Lu Jian came back from the backyard and saw the things on the table at a glance, so he hurried over. He spoke with some annoyance.

"Why did I forget these things, Tang Ying, look, these are all edible, right?"

Lu Jian had actually only seen two kinds of dried fruits among them, but in this pile of things, there were at least five kinds of dried fruits and three or four kinds of mushrooms.

Tang Ying smiled and nodded: "They are all edible. Look, these are pine nuts, and these are peanuts. You have eaten these two before. This is walnut, this is chestnut, this should be hazelnut..."

Tang Ying sorted the things out one by one and let Lu Jian know them. Lu Jian nodded and wrote them down seriously.

"These mushrooms look very good. If they can be used by squirrels to store them as food, it means they are non-toxic. Mother, please put them away. Wash these dried fruits, dry them and eat them like this."

"Okay, I'll go wash."

Originally, he wanted to ask the squirrel, but after hearing that these dried fruits could be eaten after being washed, Lu Jian put the squirrel aside and was about to go to the kitchen to get a basin to put the dried fruits in, but Tang Ying stopped him.

"Don't worry, tell me, why did you think of digging out squirrel nests? And there are so many, how many did you dig out?"

Tang Ying was also curious about things she didn't know, and Zhou on the side was also a little curious.

"I never thought about it. After entering the mountains, I usually find a suitable place for hunting, and then climb up a tree to have breakfast. It is not only safe but also has a good view. That day, there was this squirrel on the tree I happened to climb. 's nest."

At this point, Lu Jian scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a dry smile: "Actually, the squirrel was probably frightened by me and ran out to check, but I scared him away. At that time, I didn't know it was a squirrel. I wonder what’s in its hole.”

"In the end, we drove out all the squirrels and found peanuts. I planned to dig them out to see how many there were, but I ended up taking out this much."

What Lu Jian said was very simple, but Mrs. Zhou still listened with interest. In fact, she lived a very simple life. Before she got married, she spent most of her time embroidering at home. After she got married, her focus was on her husband and son, and she never went out. It's rare, let alone Lu Jian's, to have such an experience.

At this time, listening to it feels like I have experienced it again, which is very interesting.

Tang Ying was slightly surprised after hearing this: "You mean, so many things were just taken out of one nest?"

"Yes," Lu Jian nodded, not thinking there was anything wrong: "I didn't know there were these things in the squirrel's nest before. This is the first time I dug out the nest, and I took it all out."

Tang Ying lowered his head and glanced at those things, and estimated that they weighed at least seven or eight kilograms, which was far beyond his expectation.

(In ancient times, a catty was sixteen taels, not the current ten taels, so there is the term half a catty. The seven or eight catties here are actually the current ten taels.)
