In a world of ice and snow, eating beggar's sparrow and drinking Shaodaozi was indeed one of the greatest pleasures in life.
Ye Rou's lips were rosy and shiny. She was like a hungry puppy, looking at her master pitifully. "I have to fill my stomach, right?"
"Yes, I have to fill my stomach, right?" "Isn't it too insincere to treat people without filling their stomachs?"
Ye Rou's question really embarrassed Fang Yan. He turned to Li Xiaotian, who shook his head and pointed at the half sparrow in Fang Yan's hand, saying, "That's the last one."
To prove that he didn't hide it, Li Xiaotian openly ran to the stone house and dug out the grass ashes. He kicked out the burning firewood and charcoal ashes. It was empty inside, and there were no more lumps of mud.
Fang Yan handed the half sparrow to Ye Rou. Ye Rou shook her head.
There was only a small part of the sparrow left in Fang Yan's hand, and Fang Yan ate it carelessly. Others tore the meat with their hands, but he bit the meat with his mouth. Who would want to eat such a bird?
Fang Yan quickly stuffed the remaining half of the sparrow into his mouth. After wiping his hands with snow, he pulled Li Xiaotian and Zhu Zidan aside for a secret talk.
"Brothers, do me a favor —" Fang Yan said with a bitter face. "She's not full."
"Of course!" Li Xiaotian said. "You invited Miss Ye to dinner, and this is what you want? She's rejected by a bird? Isn't that too much? "
"That's right. If she accepts my invitation, I'll treat her to the best hotel in Yan Jing, the State Guesthouse. "Zhu Zidan was also very dissatisfied with Fang Yan's behavior. Ye Rou was their goddess. How could she be insulted like this?
"If I were Ye Rou, I would turn around and leave. Who would want to eat your bird —" Ruan Jing sighed.
They not only looked down on Fang Yan, but also on Fang Yan's bird.
"All right, all right, don't fight for her. What is primitive? What was fun? This was the original ecology, this was the interest. What do you old virgins know? Can't you see how much she likes to eat? This proves that my choice is correct. "Fang Yan said angrily. "When a friend is in trouble, you have to help him. She's not full. You guys have to help her find a way to fill her stomach. "
"What else can we do?" Li Xiaotian said with a smile. "It's not like we can conjure a few birds for her to roast."
Hearing Li Xiaotian's words, Fang Yan's eyes lit up and he asked, "Where did your bird come from?"
"Nonsense, of course it's to capture. You're talking like you've never done it before. "
"Then let's go catch it," Fang Yan said. He looked at the bamboo poles and the big net on the side and said, "The tools are all ready-made. Shall we go and fish the net now?"
Li Xiaotian, Zhu Zidan, and the others stared at Fang Yan and said, "Little Yan-Zi, are you kidding me? Catch birds now? With Beauty Ye? "
"Clean them up after capturing them? Roast it after washing it? How long will it take? I'm afraid it'll be time for dinner. "
"I don't care how long it takes." Fang Yan said excitedly, "Anyway, I've just eaten a bird, so I won't be too hungry. Let's go to the bamboo forest with the tools and fish some birds back to make dishes. Ruan Jing, go back and get some wine, lotus leaves, spices, and chili sauce. I'll leave the logistics to you. "
"No choice." Ruan Jing nodded. He was the smallest in the team and was responsible for passing messages and running errands when there were group activities.
"The rest of you go to the bamboo forest." Fang Yan gave the order without hesitation.
No one refuted Fang Yan's words. They carried the tools and walked to the bamboo forest not far away. They used to do this kind of thing often, so it was a piece of cake for them now.
Fang Yan walked to Ye Rou and said with a smile, "Are you interested in chasing birds?"
"Chasing birds?" Ye Rou's eyes lit up even more. It seemed that she was really interested in this kind of thing.
The so-called chasing birds was to drive the birds into the big net they set up. It was the same principle as chasing fish in a pond.
The difference was that the fish were driven in the water, while the birds were driven in the sky.
They set up a huge net on one side of the forest and fixed it with two huge bamboo poles.
The place Fang Yan and the others chose to chase the birds was the wild bamboo forest. The dense bamboo forest was the natural prey for the wild birds.
Fang Yan and Ye Rou were in one group, Zhu Zidan and Chen Hua were in another group, and Li Xiaotian and his brother Li Xiaoyi were in another group. The last person was responsible for watching the net. If the bamboo poles fell and the net was broken, their hard work would be in vain.
Then, the three groups set out from three directions into the depths of the bamboo forest, waving the long bamboo poles in their hands.
Pa!
Fang Yan slammed the bamboo pole into the bamboo forest, and the birds scattered in all directions.
Ye Rou had already understood the principle of chasing birds. It was actually a U-shaped encirclement, and the only exit was to set up a big net to catch the panicked sparrows.
Pa!
Ye Rou also raised a bamboo pole and patted it in the other direction of the bamboo forest.
Pa!
Fang Yan patted it to the left.
Pa!
Ye Rou patted it to the right.
The two looked at each other. Fang Yan grinned, and Ye Rou's eyes also had a gentle smile.
"Oh, I'm the king of the mountain —" Li Xiaotian's howl came from the east.
"What king of the mountain is a wolf? I'm the evil tiger coming down from the mountain — ooooooo — "
"Hahaha, I'm here too, are you guys scared —" Zhu Xiaoyi's howl came from the west.
Pa!
Ye Rou patted it again and said, "They all have lines to say when they enter the forest — do you have yours?"
"Why would I do such a childish thing?" Fang Yan denied it with extreme determination. Those guys are so embarrassing. Aren't they afraid of being laughed at?
"Really?" Ye Rou pursed her lips and chuckled. "I think Zhu Zidan and the others will be happy to tell me that."
"— I have one too." Fang Yan said with a sad face, "But it's more high-end than theirs. It's not as idiotic as their animal names. "
"Is that so? What's your line? "
Pa!
Fang Yan patted it with his pole and shouted, "Autobots, start the engines, transform, let's go — — boom boom boom — —"
Ye Rou laughed and fell to the ground.
With three quick attacks, the wild birds in the bamboo forest screamed and rushed toward the only exit.
Gua — —
Then they let out even more panicked screams.
Because they suddenly found that their movements were restricted. They crawled into the transparent holes. Their heads went out, but their wings couldn't break through the grid. The harder they struggled, the stiffer their bodies became. Some of them strangled themselves to death.
Today's luck was pretty good. This net was quite rewarding. With Fang Yan's eyes, there were hundreds of birds in the net. If they cleaned up all of them, they could probably eat for a few days.
A group of people stood under the net, admiring the fruits of their labor. Zhu Zidan and Li Xiao Tian were ecstatic, saying: "We're so lucky, so lucky this net — — we only caught a few dozen birds on the previous attempt. That idiot Li Xiao Yi accidentally opened a corner of the net when he retracted his pole, and more than half of them escaped — — otherwise, that net would've been enough for us to eat"
"This net is enough for us to eat for a few days, until Chinese New Year's Eve — —" Li Xiao Tian laughed. "Brothers, let's get to work"
"Chirp chirp chirp — —" the sparrows couldn't do anything else and could only call out urgently.
"Quack, quack, quack — —" the cries of the colorful forest birds were also getting more and more miserable.
Some of the birds managed to escape, only to find that their parents were trapped in the net. They circled around their mothers and screamed, unwilling to fly away by themselves.
"Brothers, retract the net" Li Xiao Tian waved his hand and shouted, then ran towards the pole.
These birds gathered together with great momentum, if they didn't put down the pole and retract the net in time, they might've gotten a chance to escape.
Ye Rou looked at the birds circling around the net, unwilling to leave, with a hint of pity in her eyes.
She cultivated her body, her mind, and her Dao. In her eyes, all joy could be magnified infinitely, and all sorrow could also be magnified infinitely.
Every cry of these young birds tore a deep hole in her heart.
She felt pain!
"Fang Yan — —" Ye Rou suddenly shouted.
Fang Yan had been standing next to Ye Rou, asking: "What is it?"
"Can you — — give them to me?" Ye Rou asked.
Fang Yan smiled and said: "They were originally meant for you. Just wait until they're done, you don't have to worry about them — — although you're a woman, they're better at this than you are. Once they're cooked, you'll be in charge of wiping them out. "
"I mean — — give them to me now." Ye Rou said.
Fang Yan was a little surprised, since he knew Ye Rou when he was very young, this proud woman had never asked him for anything, of course, she didn't ask anyone for anything either.
But Fang Yan often asked her for something, such as when Ye Rou pressed him to the ground with the [Dragon Spine Lock], he would ask Ye Rou to be lenient — —
Fang Yan's expression also became serious, saying: "Okay. I can give them to you now — — you can do whatever you want with them. "
The pole was still put down, and the net was retracted. Unfortunately, all of the wild birds had been released.
Looking at the birds circling in the sky or flying away, Ye Rou's face bloomed with a happy smile. She raised her slender and delicate neck, her soft short hair automatically slanted to the back. Her eyebrows were beautiful and her facial features were delicate and flawless. She was as beautiful as the Ice Spirit in this snow mountain.
She waved her hand and said: "Goodbye."
"Goodbye." Zhu Zidan waved her arms and yelled.
"Goodbye." Li Xiaotian yelled with his teeth clenched. Although he said goodbye, he showed a ferocious look that said, "Don't run away, let me bite you if you have the guts — —"
"Goodbye." Fang Yan looked at Ye Rou's beautiful side profile and said quietly in his heart.
The violent Ye Rou in his heart was gone!
