Siheyuan: The Final Winner

The mountains are undulating and covered with white snow.

In the deep mountains, it is extremely difficult to walk.

Fortunately, Jiang Ping'an was wearing water shoes, but even so, the soles of his feet were covered with thick yellow mud, making them extremely heavy.

To walk a few steps, you have to rub your feet on the dry grass a few times to wipe off the mud, otherwise it will slip.

There is no need to look at the outer area of ​​the mountain. Even if there are prey, they are very rare.

So Jiang Ping'an went straight to the mountains.

After walking for two or three hours, the sightings of animals gradually increased.

Footprints, feces, hair, and more.

But Jiang Ping'an still didn't stop, and continued to walk for nearly an hour before slowing down.

When he came to a boulder, Jiang Ping'an walked to the leeward place, rested his feet, drank some hot water, and ate a few big buns.

After recovering its physical strength, it raises its spirits and starts looking for prey.

Today's Jiang Ping'an cannot escape his detection within a radius of 100 meters.

After a while, Jiang Ping'an found a nest of wild rabbits in a bush.

He was overjoyed, and quickly put the musket into the space, intending to capture the hares with his bare hands, and then put them in the space to breed.

Rabbits are nocturnal animals, they generally rest during the day and come out at night.

The hare's nest generally has at least three exits, just in case, and that's how the three caves of the cunning rabbit come from.

Jiang Pingan first stood in the distance and looked around carefully, and soon found five exits one after another. It seems that there should be a lot of rabbits here.

Then, he took a deep breath, and rushed to the grass as fast as he could, and his figure instantly turned into a shadow.

As soon as he got close, a gray shadow flashed out from an exit.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Jiang Ping'an caught the hare in his hand in an instant, weighed it, and it should be three catties or more.

Jiang Pingan smiled, but before he could be happy for too long, another rabbit ran out.

He fished left and right, and within a short time, he caught seven hares in a row, and threw them all into the space.

"Is there another one that was too scared to come out?"

Jiang Ping'an listened carefully for a moment, then quickly took hay from the space, lit it, put it in the hole and smoked it.

"puff!"

With a muffled sound, the remaining hare finally couldn't help running away, and was caught by Jiang Ping'an.

"Caught by me, raised in the space, no shortage of food, no danger, why run?"

Jiang Pingan murmured softly, turned around and continued walking.

Next, Jiang Pingan gained a lot.

This is indeed a deep mountain and old forest, with many kinds of prey.

In addition, Jiang Ping'an has master-level martial arts and space blessings.

As long as the prey he encounters, very few can escape.

In just two hours, he hunted five pheasants and sixteen hares one after another.

Looking at the time, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.

Today's hunting went even smoother than Jiang Pingan expected.

Compared to sleeping comfortably at home, he really didn't want to spend the night in the wild.

Furthermore, one should not be too greedy. There are many prey in this world, and it is impossible to catch them all.

So without hesitation, Jiang Ping'an immediately returned the same way.

"There is still a fish farm that is not used. I'm afraid I will go to the market to buy it after returning to the city." Jiang Ping'an thought as he walked.

Although the mountain road was difficult, it was much faster to go back.

Even so, Jiang Ping'an hurried to Liangjia Village in the evening.

Instead of going home, he took a detour.

And took out three hares and two pheasants from the space, carried them by hand, and went to Qin Jingru's house.

He planned to send a hare and a pheasant to Qin Jingru's family.

For Jiang Pingan, no matter whether he wants to marry Qin Jingru or not in the future, the relationship with her family cannot be broken.

After all, they are neighbors. Every time Jiang Ping'an returned to the city, it was Qin Jingru's father who came to help him guard the house.

As for why the hare and pheasant were taken out, it was naturally for show.

The sky was dark, and some could not see the road.

The cold wind rustled, scraping his face like a knife.

Qin Jingru's house was very quiet, and there was no sound of anyone talking.

Since the year before last, drought has continued in most parts of the country, the harvest of farmland has plummeted, and there is an extreme shortage of food.

In recent months, Jiang Ping'an has gone to the countryside many times, but he rarely sees people cooking in the morning and evening.

Most of them ate only one meal at noon, which was corn porridge with clear soup and little water.

During the slack season, people huddled in their rooms without speaking or moving, trying to save energy.

Jiang Pingan came to Qin Jingru's house, knocked on the door, and shouted loudly, "Uncle Qin, is Uncle Qin at home?"

"Here we come!" A rough voice came from inside the room.

Soon, the door opened, and Qin Jingru was standing behind the door with a smile on her face.

Just as Jiang Ping'an was about to speak, Qin Jingru's father, Qin Dingguo, stood up from behind and pulled his daughter aside.

"Ping An came back from the mountains? Hey, today's harvest is not bad, so many prey!"

Qin Dingguo grinned, looked at the prey in Jiang Pingan's hand and said with a smile.

Jiang Pingan handed over a pheasant and a hare, smiled and said:

"Uncle Qin, I've really gained a lot today, so I brought some here to nourish my sister-in-law and nephew."

Qin Jingru has three siblings, her elder sister is married, and her elder brother has two children after her marriage.

The little one was born a few months ago and is still breastfeeding, just when it needs nutrition.

Qin Dingguo shook his head and refused, "It's too expensive, I can't take it!"

"You can take it back safely, thank you for your kindness, even if you don't eat it yourself, you can exchange it for food!"

It's no joke that food is expensive these days. If you marry a daughter-in-law, three liters of wheat is more respectable.

Of course, this is the countryside, and the price in the city is slightly higher, but the bride price is usually only three to five yuan.

As for the three turns and one sound, the vast majority of families are not fully equipped.

It's not just about money, it's about tickets.

Jiang Ping'an frowned and said, "Uncle Qin treats me like an outsider? Your family has helped me a lot."

"I gave you a chicken and a rabbit as a token of my gratitude. Uncle Qin, you can't refuse, or you'll be off the hook."

After several pushes and pushes, Qin Dingguo finally accepted and invited Jiang Pingan to sit in the room.

"It's getting dark now, so I won't sit down, we're so close, we can come over anytime in the future."

Jiang Ping'an smiled, said goodbye and left.

Qin Dingguo couldn't keep it, so he asked his daughter Qin Jingru to give it away.

Back home, he opened the kitchen, and Jiang Ping'an threw the remaining two hares and a pheasant on the ground.

Light the oil lamp, turn around and smile at Qin Jingru who is holding the flashlight and say:

"It just so happens that you come over, kill the hare and pheasant quickly, and let's have a good meal!"

"Eat it all? It's too wasteful! Isn't it good to keep it for food?" Qin Jingru frowned and said distressedly.

Jiang Pingan smiled and stepped forward to take the flashlight from Qin Jingru's hand, and said:

"What's wasted? Eat it in your stomach and supplement your nutrition, so it won't be wasted."

"Look at you, what a beautiful girl, but her face is sallow and her hair is withered and yellow, which affects her appearance too much."

Qin Jingru gritted her teeth, and said hesitantly: "I haven't seen meat for a long time, if I eat meat like this, I will have diarrhea."

"A few days ago you invited me to eat fried eggs, and I went back to wait for a day, but it tortured me terribly!"
