Chapter 191 Picnic Party, Time to Eat!
Chapter 191 Picnic Party, Time to Eat!
Seeing her sister's unnatural expression and deliberate movements, and hearing the almost song-like humming coming from Taozi's nose...
Even the dumbest person would know something was wrong.
She looked her sister and Peach up and down suspiciously, and quickly noticed something was wrong. "Is one of your arrows missing from your quiver? Where is it?"
"..."
Lin Lanshan instinctively knew she couldn't keep up the lie, so she resigned herself to saying, "Would you believe me if I said I accidentally lost it?"
Lin Chunyi raised an eyebrow, one corner of her mouth turning up: What do you think?
She sighed, pouted reluctantly, and said in the softest voice, "Okay, it's not lost, it's just broken."
"Broken? Broken? Wild boars have that kind of skill, breaking arrows with their bare hooves? Impressive, impressive!"
"..." Lin Lanshan was speechless. These words seemed to be praising a pig, but also seemed to be cursing her.
She could only say, "How could that be! If wild boars could pull out arrows by themselves, it would be a question whether you could even see me now!"
"It's because its hide is too thick; I couldn't pierce it with my arrow, and then it charged at me. So I kicked it, and accidentally broke the arrow."
Honestly? That's impossible, hahaha!
Lin Chunyi ignored her sister's riddled lies and teased her, "Then why are you stammering and acting so guilty? It makes me think you've been beaten by a pig and are afraid I'll laugh at you."
Seeing her grinning at him with her teeth showing, he didn't bother asking any more questions. As long as the man and the mule returned safely, that was enough.
So he turned and walked forward, saying, "Come help me get these two big ones on. We've had such a good harvest today, and we've been busy for a long time. It's time to go back to the carriage and prepare the barbecue for lunch."
"Here it comes~"
Lin Lanshan skillfully tied the rope around the wild boar, then straightened up before asking, "By the way, sis, where are the two kittens? I haven't seen them."
Lin Chunyi suddenly clapped her hands, only then realizing that two of the "guests" were missing!
"When I came down to chase the pigs, I realized they were gone! Then one thing after another came up, and I completely forgot about them..."
Before his sister could say anything, he thought for a moment, then called the squirrels over and asked them, "Little squirrels, have you seen where those two big cats went?"
None of the squirrels uttered a sound, and their faces clearly showed the same puzzled expression.
After a while, a small, thin squirrel emerged from the group, ran over, stood on her shoe, and then shook her pants with its paws, "Squeak squeak!"
"Hmm? You know where they went?"
"Squeak!" It nodded, then pointed in a direction with its paw.
The two sisters looked in the direction it was pointing. Wasn't this the way they would take back to the picnic meadow?
"Sister, let's look for it on our way back." Lin Lanshan dragged the wild boar she had chased back with her as they walked away.
Lin Chunyi nodded in response and stroked the little squirrel's head to express her gratitude.
The two sisters each dragged one end of the rope, while Peach dragged both ends, and Reunion, Ankang, and the little squirrels followed beside them.
"Little kitty..." they called out every now and then as they walked back.
After leaving the dead forest and passing the small pond where they had caught fish, the next place was where the little squirrels picked yellow berries.
"We're almost there! Dragging this pig is exhausting!" Lin Lanshan wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, panting slightly.
Lin Chunyi twisted her shoulders and looked into the distance. "It's not far now, let's go all out." It was as if she could already see her destination.
Fortunately, nothing happened along the way, and the squirrels walked on their own on the way back, with not one of them holding them back.
Not to mention Peach and Reunion, who exercised with them and were full of energy.
"Hum! Hum!"
The two sisters exchanged a knowing glance: Another wild boar? Let's go!
They put the reunion, peace, and health, along with the squirrels, into their baskets, then ducked into the nearby bushes, where they witnessed a rather surprising scene.
Behind the bushes was a patch of withered, yellow weeds, where a small wild boar with multiple bloodstains was angrily charging wildly at its enemy.
There were two enemy beasts, about the same size as it, surrounding it from the front and the back.
When the little wild boar charged over, it bared its teeth and pounced on it, swatting it with its claws.
The little wild boar cried out in pain and ran to the side, only to be stopped by another enemy beast that was incredibly fast and swung its claw at it.
"Hey sis! A cat and a pig are fighting! That's quite a sight, isn't it? Should we go help them out?"
Whose favor are we helping? The cat, of course!
So, where did those two lynxes go? It turns out they spotted the escaped wild boar and chased after it.
"No need yet. I don't think they're losing; they seem to be toying with that little wild boar." Cats, you know, mostly have this trait: they like to play with and torment their prey for a while before eating it.
The two sisters crouched in the grass, peeking out with their heads, watching with great interest as two lynxes and a wild boar fought.
Another cup of tea's time passed.
The fight finally ended with the little wild boar, covered in scratches and bite marks, lying on the ground barely breathing.
Lin Lanshan slowly stood up, moved her slightly numb legs, and couldn't help but applaud the two victors, saying, "You were really amazing, my cats!"
"Meow!"
"Meow!"
They walked over with elegant cat-like steps, and meowed haughtily in front of the two of them.
Tell them how brave you are.
These two have truly mastered the natural feline habit of raising their necks high to express pride.
Lin Chunyi patted their heads and said with a smile, "You are the king and queen of cats! Come on, I'll take it over for you. Let's go have lunch, a full meat feast."
……
"Lanshan, have you started the fire yet? I've finished cleaning up here, we can start grilling now!"
"Okay, okay, I'll take them all."
Beside the crystal-clear stream,
There was a patch of land where the withered grass had been cleared away, and in the very center of it was a bonfire, burning brightly, roasting chickens, fish, and wild boar meat stuck diagonally in the ground until they sizzled and smelled delicious.
Outside the fire, two old blankets sewn together and lined with dry grass were laid out.
On the old blanket, Lin Chunyi and Lin Lanshan sat cross-legged in the middle, with a small low table in front of them. On the table were a teapot and teacups, a small plate of candied fruit and dried fruit, a large bowl of watermelon cut into small pieces, and various seasonings and spice bottles.
On either side of them, towards the back, are nestled peaches, reunion and peace, as well as lynxes and squirrels.
The warm sun and the blazing firewood made everyone want to lie down haphazardly, feeling drowsy.
Behind the blanket, there was the two sisters' carriage.
"Oh dear, I think I smell the burning sweet potatoes." Lin Chunyi quickly got up, grabbed a stick, and went to poke around the fire.
Oh right, I almost forgot! Besides the grilled meat, they also put out some roasted sweet potatoes and roasted potatoes.
As time passed and the baking process continued, it wasn't just the sweet potatoes and potatoes that were turning golden brown and charred, releasing the aroma of cooked meat.
Lin Chunyi, having scooped out the black-shelled sweet potato, excitedly shouted out the most anticipated news of the day:
"It's time to eat!"
