Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 202 Chicken Soup

At the back, the orderlies and soldiers had already lifted up several men, but their hands and feet were dislocated and they couldn't let go. If they let go, they would fall to the ground. What should they do?

"What are you looking at? Have you never tied up a pig before? Just hang it and take it away!" Uncle San turned around and found that his men were stupid. He immediately gave them orders and then gave Jiang Yu an approving look, "Your idea is very good. If you remove their arms and legs, they will behave themselves! Not bad, really good!"

Jiang Yu felt embarrassed by the praise. This uncle was too straightforward.

Yi Chi quickly interrupted and said, "Uncle San, does Jiang Yu count as having made a contribution this time?"

"Of course it counts!" Uncle San nodded, "We will have a conclusion after we go back and investigate. I'll let Wang Yu come to see you in a few days."

Several soldiers moved quickly and chopped down some small trees to use as shoulder poles, and then tied up the six people who had difficulty walking by their hands and feet and hung them up.

After the tidying up was almost done, Uncle San said to Jiang Yu, "Are you free tomorrow? You have to come to the army. We need to ask you something."

"I'm free." Jiang Yu nodded. She didn't have to work, so of course she was free.

"Okay, let Yi Chi bring you here tomorrow. But some things must be kept confidential, okay?" Uncle San reminded.

Jiang Yu nodded.

The troops came and left quickly, but it was almost dark due to the delay. Jiang Yu and Yi Chi had no time to care about anything else and had to hurry back to the team.

Along the way, Jiang Yu also shot a pheasant, and Yi Chi pulled out a rabbit whose body was not yet completely stiff from the trap he had set before.

After sending them to the periphery, Tuanzi left on his own.

The two climbed up Yaoer Mountain. Thick smoke was coming out of the chimneys in the brigade, and it was time for dinner in every household.

"Then I'll go down the mountain directly. You go back first. I'll come to see you tomorrow morning." Jiang Yu lifted the backpack up, preparing to rush back to the educated youth site as quickly as possible, so that Wu Aiqing could cook the pheasant and eat it in the evening.

Yi Chi handed the rabbit over and said, "Take this and eat it too."

"No need, we can just make some chicken soup." Jiang Yu pushed it back, "You eat it yourself, you need to nourish yourself."

"I can't finish it by myself...how about this, let's eat together tomorrow?" Yi Chi still insisted.

"Okay, let's have meat in the morning?" Jiang Yu had no objection. She hadn't eaten Yi Chi's cooking for a while and she did miss it a little.

Yi Chi thought for a moment and said, "I'll stew it in a clay pot tonight, and we can have noodles tomorrow morning?"

"Sure!" Jiang Yu nodded vigorously. The rabbit topping, paired with the chewy hand-rolled noodles, is so delicious! I'm looking forward to it now~

Yi Chi was also very happy to see her smiling face.

The two separated halfway up the mountain and went home.

In the backyard of the educated youth camp, Wu Aiqing was slicing eggplant into dice on the stove. When she saw Jiang Yu running in, she immediately stuck her head out and said, "Jiang Yu! What time is it that you just came back?"

Jiang Yu ran directly into their house, holding a backpack in his left hand, took out a pheasant from it and handed it to them, "I caught a pheasant, let's make soup!"

Wu Aiqing looked at her helplessly, but finally compromised and took it, shouting "Xiong Lijin".

Xiong Lijin came out of the room and asked confusedly, "What's the matter?"

"Boil some water. This guy just caught a pheasant." Wu Aiqing instructed him.

Xiong Lijin’s eyes widened immediately, and he went to the front yard to fetch water in high spirits.

While Wu Aiqing was bleeding the chicken, Jiang Yu immediately ran back to his room.

Xue Li was sitting by the door eating melon seeds. When he saw Jiang Yu, he pointed at her with his finger and said, "Come back earlier. Fu Biao and the others are worried about you and have gone out to look for you. I don't know how long it will take for you to come back."

Jiang Yu was also a little embarrassed, mainly because something unexpected happened today, otherwise she wouldn't be so late.

"Go change your clothes quickly... no? What's wrong with your arm?" Xue Li was sharp-eyed. With the light of the oil lamp that was bright enough to see people, he suddenly discovered that one of her sleeves was missing. There was a piece of cloth tied on her exposed arm. That cloth looked familiar?

Jiang Yu quickly raised his finger and shushed, "It's okay, just a scratch."

Xue Li glared, "Scratched? What scratched you? Did you apply medicine?"

Jiang Yu nodded, "I also know some herbs, and I've already processed them."

Xue Li's expression brightened when he heard this. "Then do you want to take a shower? Be careful when you take a shower!"

"Okay, you sit down, I'll go clean up first." Jiang Yu didn't dare to delay any longer. If Wu Aiqing rushed out and saw it, he might check the wound and find out it was a knife wound. Wouldn't that give the truth away?

Xue Li watched her enter the room and frowned slightly again.

Something must have happened to Jiang Yu, but there was nothing else unusual about her, so she should have been able to handle it herself.

I hope this is the case, and there won't be any more trouble later...

Xue Li looked at her legs and sighed. She couldn't move now and couldn't help. She could only get some self-defense items for the sisters to carry with them.

She did what she said, and her consciousness sank into the space mall, and she began to go to the supermarket's knife area to see if there was anything suitable.

Jiang Yu closed the door, put the backpack aside, turned on the bedside lamp on the kang cabinet, and then began to look for clothes to change.

The thermos was full of water, enough for her to take a bath.

But Jiang Yu still poked open the stove eye, re-lit the fire, added cold water to the pot, and boiled a large pot of water. After all, he had to drink it at night.

She carried the basin and clothes to the bathroom, then came back with the kettle and a small wooden bucket to fetch well water from the front yard. Only after everything was ready did she close the door and start taking a shower.

Wu Aiqing has already started plucking the pheasants.

When Jiang Yu came out of the shower, Fu Biao and Chen Jinghan came in hurriedly, "Is Jiang Yu back?"

"I'm back." Jiang Yu, who was drying his hair, answered immediately.

Fu Biao and Chen Jinghan looked over and were relieved to see that she was fine. "Don't stay up too late in the mountain next time," Chen Jinghan reminded her quickly.

"I understand." Jiang Yu also agreed honestly.

Xiong Lijin came out with a bowl of water, "Drink some water, and you guys should take a rest, as dinner will be late."

Fu Biao took the water and drank it in two gulps. "What big dish are you making?"

"No, Jiang Yu came back from hunting pheasants and just stewed them, so we have to eat later." Xiong Lijin took the bowl and explained, then walked into Wu Aiqing's room.

"Oh, come to think of it, we also got something today, but we forgot to take it out just now." Fu Biao hurriedly followed.

He and Wu Aiqing put their backpacks on the edge of the kang. As soon as they came back, they started to get busy. Fu Biao went out to look for ginger fish, and Wu Aiqing was making dinner, so they didn't have time to do anything.

Fu Biao quickly pulled the backpack over and dumped the prickly chestnuts on the ground.

Wu Aiqing turned around and frowned, "No, you should go outside. The thorns are prickly and it will be difficult to clean up if you stay inside."

"I forgot, I forgot." Fu Biao quickly admitted his mistake.
