Parents are busy farming

In the end, there was no choice but to quietly come to the house in the middle of the night when the people in the house were resting.

Leave the pheasant at the door of that house, just as he left it the last time.

But he himself was hungry all night.

Looking at the stars in the sky and listening to the deep and shallow sounds of animals running in his ears, Zhang Gaoyi felt that he had a masochistic constitution.

There was only one bed in the whole house that was not suitable for anyone to sleep on.

Fortunately, there were a few stools and a table, and everyone could sit on the stools for a while.

But Ye Zifen didn't sleep. In this strange environment, someone had to pay attention.

The other person who wasn't sleeping was the old man, even though he was lying on the small shabby bed with all his clothes on.

But he didn't dare to sleep, he was afraid that Ye Zifen would do something to the village.

To be able to catch a pheasant in such a short period of time shows that he is very skilled.

He was also the first to get up. As soon as he lifted the quilt off his body, Ye Zifen opened his eyes.

Looking at him with bright eyes, which made him feel a little embarrassed, he straightened his clothes and opened the door.

At this time, it still looks like it's not bright outside.

As soon as he took a step, he felt as if he had stepped on something, which was so soft that it startled him. It wasn't until he lowered his head and raised the vague object under his feet to his eyes that he could see what it was.

It was the pheasant that Zhang Gaoyi threw at the door last night.

He didn't know that Zhang Gaoyi had thrown it here. He thought it was from Ye Zifen when he went out to hunt pheasants yesterday.

I was too embarrassed to give it to him in person, so I left it at the door.

He didn't know why he seemed to feel a little close to that girl.

After yesterday's two chickens were cleaned and cooked, he ate them too. Do you still need to leave them alone for him?

Holding the chicken, he shook his head and walked away.

If you ask him what he is going to do, of course he is going to release water! If you don't sleep for a night, it's easy for something to happen.

Otherwise, why would he come out before dawn? I really couldn't bear it.

It's not safe in the woods, and village guards like him are very experienced.

Zhang Gaoyi, who was in the tree, also heard the sound and looked at the blurry figure in the distance to determine that it was not Ye Zifen.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but he knew that Ye Zifen would come out soon, so he quickly got down from the tree.

He guessed right. Although Ye Zifen was in trance all night, he was not in a hurry at this time.

But she also needs to prepare breakfast.

However, Ye Zifen stood at the door and did not leave immediately. She did not go away until the old man came back.

Zhou Dalin and Zhao Cuier were woken up by Zi Zifen just now. They were used to the caravan mode and knew that nothing would happen to them as long as Zi Zifen was around, so they slept on the table last night. Very stable.

Before Ye Zifen left, the two of them had helped light up the simple stove in the corner.

Seeing that the two people had gotten up, the old man snorted and said: "Old man, I have opened my eyes today. The lady is keeping watch. You two are sleeping here, and you are still snoring. I don't know if you are big-hearted or not." Heartless."

Zhou Dalin heard this, touched the back of his head, and then chuckled twice.

Explained: "You misunderstood, it's not that I refused to help with the night watch, it's actually that whether our lady was on the way from the caravan, or somewhere before, as long as she and brother Gao Yi were there, they were responsible for the night watch. .We can’t compete at all.”

It's not like he didn't notice the little girl's behavior.

He was tempted by the little girl's suggestion, let alone the other people in the village.

What he had to consider at this time was whether he should return to the village while the little girl was out and give a message to the clan leader first.

Just when he was hesitating, Ye Zifen had already returned, with the same two pheasants.

The old man felt a little embarrassed when he thought of the chicken he stepped on at the door this morning. He deliberately found a topic and said: "The pheasants in this forest have been in bad luck for many lifetimes. Recently, because of your arrival, there have been two in three days." 's disappearance."

Ye Zifen didn't know why he said that, but he still said jokingly: "Then you should thank me. I checked around your forest and found that there are no large beasts. The pheasants are a bit overrun. We need to eliminate them." Reach a balance, otherwise it will attract some large beasts and it will not be safe for you."

The old man didn't expect that his words would end up being said about himself. It was for his own good. What else could he say?

But seeing the cleaned pheasant that he just hung on the beam...well, maybe that's true.

This time Ye Zifen did not do it himself, leaving it to Zhou Dalin and Zhao Cuier.

Although she had been in trance for a while last night, which could be regarded as a rest, the best choice was to use this short time to have a good sleep.

So the situation in the entire hut was that Ye Zifen put her elbows on the table, supported her head with her hands, sat on a stool, and closed her eyes.

The old man sat on the edge of the bed and watched Zhou Dalin and Zhao Cuier working. He didn't know what he could do at this time.

This feeling is really bad. He didn't feel this uncomfortable at all when that boy Zhang Gaoyi came last time. The little girl is just different.

Zhao Cuier is responsible for cooking, and Zhou Dalin is responsible for lighting the fire.

Zhang Gaoyi also shot a pheasant at this time, but this time he did not wrong himself again.

A fire was lit in the forest and the chicken was roasted.

Of course, when roasting the chicken, he was careful not to let the flames fly everywhere.

After roasting the chicken, they put out the fire with earth on the spot. They didn't leave that place until they finished eating the pheasant and no more sparks were found.

After the four people in the room had finished eating, Zifen looked at the old man.

"Can we go over now?"

The old man looked out at the sky, finally nodded and closed the door, planning to go with them this time.

In fact, the genius outside has just begun to shine at this time. Although the people in the village are not lazy, they are probably just getting up at this time.

Although Ye Zifen had already been told about the situation around the suspension bridge, when the small door opened and she saw the abyss under the suspension bridge, she couldn't help but shudder.

Then he couldn't help but glance at the old man.

When the old man saw her looking over, he thought she was scared, so he took the lead and walked onto the suspension bridge.

Seeing him like this, Ye Zifen followed him. Of course, she was carrying a barrel behind her.

The old man wanted to help just now, but Ye Zifen saw that he was old and couldn't bear it, so he didn't let him carry it.

When the four people walked across the suspension bridge to the village entrance, Ye Zifen finally combined the scene in front of him with the situation Zhang Gaoyi had described to him.
