C85 That Person Was None Other than Liu Lang

Xu Jiang would naturally take care of peeling and cleaning up the Bamboo Mouse, so he would peel off the Bamboo Mouse skin like he was peeling off a rabbit and put it aside.

After cleaning up two Bamboo Rats, Xu Jiang straightened his back and took a breath of air. He then picked up the remaining six Bamboo Mice on the ground to clean them up.

It was getting hotter and hotter now, and if the dead prey was not picked up early, it might be worse.

Hemai took out a bamboo mouse that she had finished cleaning and placed on the chopping board. After chopping it into pieces, half of the bamboo mouse was carefully wiped with salt, and the other half was sprinkled with soy sauce and garlic.

In the pot, he boiled the meat with white sugar and poured the sauce over it to color it. Then he seasoned it with ginger and garlic, added some wood to the stove, and heated it up.

The other half of the Bamboo Mouse meat was slowly fried over a gentle fire. After the skin had turned into a scorched yellow color, he poured the potatoes beside the chopping board into the sauce.

By the time the two dishes were out of the wok and the rice had been steamed, the eight Bamboo Rats in the courtyard had been tidied up.

When Madam Qin came out of her room and saw the two plates in Hemai's hands, she opened her mouth wide.

Hemai laughed: "Milk, I'm just afraid that you won't eat it, so I fried the papaya meat piece extra, it's for pork!"

Xu Jiang shook his head: "Granny Linn, you just need to taste a piece of the Bamboo Mouse meat and you'll know what it means when you give it to a deity, even if you don't want to trade it. Try it, I'm sure you won't be able to stop eating!"

When they were on the table, Hemai first took a piece for Madam Qin and then let Xu Jiang take it for himself. He placed the piece of meat into a bowl and didn't forget to throw one for the Blacky s on the ground before eating.

"Is it delicious?" Xu Jiang asked her in anticipation.

Hemai carefully savored the taste, and other than that, the meat was actually more tender and sweeter than pork! Even if she didn't cook much, he still had a unique taste!

No wonder the price of the Bamboo Mouse that day was much higher than the price of the wild boar and the deer meat!

Hemai nodded her head, "It's good, it's good … "Oh, Grandmother, quickly taste one. I'm afraid that both of us will finish the bowl soon …"

Madam Qin tasted it and smacked her lips, "En, it is slightly better than pork!"

After the Blacky on the ground ate a piece and no one paid any more attention to it, it grumbled in sadness. Hemai threw another piece of meat with bones and skin at him.

"Where did this Bamboo Mouse come from?" Xu Jiangyi curiously nibbled at his meat as he asked, "How come I didn't know that there was such a thing on Xiaoqing Village?"

Hemai thought for a while, "Didn't you say that Bamboo Rats eat bamboo? Was there a large bamboo forest at the foot of the eastern mountain? Is it there, I presume? "

Liulang and her would come to the east side of the mountain every morning. It was just that neither of them cared about the bamboo forest, nor the activity inside it.

Xu Jiang realised, "Yes! Aiya, I actually didn't notice such a delicious dish in Xiaoqing Village, it's really a sin, a sin! "

He hurriedly slapped her forehead again, "Eh, such a delicious thing, when Liulang comes back, I will have to ask him to go with me to catch some," he chuckled and said to Hemai, "Hemai, when I bring back the bamboo mouse and you stew it, don't forget to call me by its name."

Hemai laughed, "Alright."

After eating, Xu Jiang fished out a few skins that were soaked in alkali and shaved off the bones to dry under the eaves. I wonder how long it will take for the Liulang to return, I can only do this on his behalf.

After Xu Jiangyi left, Madam Qin slowly strolled into the kitchen and looked at Hemai for a while. Then, she suddenly asked: "What kind of medicine did Doctor Xu give you?"

Hemai was startled for a moment, and then replied: "A tonic for me."

"Mending medicine?" Madam Qin uttered these two words with joy in her voice, "Hemai, you, you and Liulang are preparing to have children?"

"Huh?" Hemai was flabbergasted, "No, that's not it, grandmother …"

"No wonder you keep talking about earning more money these days. You're planning to give birth to a baby!" Madam Qin suddenly slapped her thigh, and the wrinkles on her face immediately spread into a faint smile from happiness, "Okay, okay, I'm going to be a great granny!"

"Grandmother …"

Hemai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Seeing Madam Qin repeatedly telling her to prepare the precautions before pregnancy, this period of time was extremely hard to accomplish. If there was a child, it would be better to keep it safe.

Hemai did not have the heart to interrupt the old man's happiness, she could only bite the bullet and agree.

Eh, she's also a girl with a yellow flower. She hadn't even spoken to him, so how was she going to get pregnant?

"..."

"..."

In the few days that the Liulang was not around, Hemai had always been thinking about things even though she did not say it.

Especially when it was the dead of night, and the people outside the courtyard were immersed in the moonlight. That tranquil atmosphere caused the longing in her heart to slowly grow, sprout, and crawl …

Three nights, Hemai's eyes were closed and her mind was filled with the figure of the Liulang.

Why aren't you back yet? It had been four days and three nights.

Hemai counted with her fingers. By the time she had used up all of her hands, she could no longer sit still.

Yang Liulang had not come back for five days.

Last time, Liulang went for three days and two nights, delaying his absent-mindedness that even she missed the day after tomorrow when he returned, not to mention that this time, there was no news of his for five days.

What's more, the rations he brought along would only last him four days.

Why aren't you back yet?

Xu Jiang was still able to keep his cool and said to Hemai: "Liulang is not an ordinary person, it is just a mere wild beast, there is no prey that can subdue Liulang! "Just wait patiently for another day. If he doesn't return tomorrow, I'll bring my brothers up the mountain to look for him!"

Hemai was comforted in her heart, and patiently waited for another day.

But on the sixth day, Yang Liulang still did not return.

This time, Xu Jiang could no longer sit still. He went into the town to call Ma Er and the others over, and all of them went up the mountain to look for the Liulang.

This mountain is so big.

At the back of the mountain was still a mountain, and with just a glance, he could see an endless mountain. Who knew which corner of the mountain Liulang was currently on?

Who knew if he was on the mountainside or on the mountaintop, or in a cave?

The task of finding the people was too vast, Hemai wanted to follow as well, but both Xu Jiang and Ma Er had advised her to stay, so if Liulang returned, wouldn't she be able to relax?

Hemai sat at home, and waited from the bottom of the mountain till the sky and then from the sky to the horizon.

Countless possibilities related to the Liulang surfaced in her mind, and no matter which one was the best and worst, she gradually discovered an incredible fact: She liked Yang Liulang.

I like it deep down in my bones.

I love it so much that I can't see him, eat or drink, or sleep at night.

So it turned out that she already liked someone so much.

She worriedly looked at the mountains outside the mountain, and a bad omen gradually surfaced in her heart: Liulang, I'm afraid something must have happened.

"..."

"..."

On the eighth day, Xu Jiangyi carried a man whose face was dyed in blood down the mountain.

The thing that Hemai didn't want to happen the most happened.

That person was Liulang.
