212, the girl who was calculated for a lifetime (5)
The plan has begun to take shape, and Tong Xinlan seems to see the dawn of victory just around the corner.
"Gollum~!"
Qi Xiaohui and the belly of her body competed to make one protest after another.
Well, revolution is a thing that takes quite a while, don't think so much about it now, let's fill your stomach first!
Tong Xinlan opened her eyes, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and wanted to stand up.
But Qi Xiaohui hugged her and didn't let go at all.
In the past, Yang Xinlan was nostalgic for Qi Xiaohui's arms, and she was also afraid that she would cry if she left Qi Xiaohui, so no matter how hungry she was, she would let Qi Xiaohui continue to hold her, and then the two of them starved together.
Today, Yang Xinlan couldn't help but be hungry and ran out to find something to eat, but she met Yang Xinrui and Yang Xinheng to treat her badly.
When Yang Xinlan was younger, she was really hungry once, she had eaten mud, and that time her stomach hurt for several days, and then she was hungry again, and she didn't dare to eat mud.
The two younger siblings tried sinister tricks into her eating muddy rice balls, but Yang Xinlan naturally did not fall for it, and beat Yang Xinheng, who forced her to eat green worms.
But because of this fight, Qi Xiaohui and Yang Xinlan waited until a month later for the next time they sent food.
It's just that at that time, Yang Xinlan didn't understand that Wei Xueying was making an obstruction.
No one sent food over, so Yang Xinlan pulled out the grass roots, fruits, or caught some insects and mice in Qiongyuan to eat, anyway, for the two women and children who were starved into pieces of paper, these wild ingredients raised in Luoqiong Courtyard were still enough, and if they were not enough, they could go to the courtyard next door to find something to eat.
Autumn is coming. There are fewer ingredients in the yard, and the life of the two mothers and daughters has become difficult.
This time, they have been hungry for three days, and Tong Xinlan will not allow the two to continue to spoil their already malnourished bodies, and they must make up for it.
Tong Xinlan stretched out her hand and picked up the pillow that Qi Xiaohui had dropped on the ground.
Stuffing it into Qi Xiaohui's arms, Tong Xinlan broke free from Qi Xiaohui's warm arms.
"Ho ho. Qi Xiaohui lowered her head to look at the pillow, and then looked up at Tong Xinlan.
She didn't understand why the big doll gave her the little one.
No, how can there be two dolls?
Which one is her doll?
Big doll or small doll?
"Mother. I'll make you something to eat. You hug, uh, brother, and have fun in bed. Okay?" Tong Xinlan dragged Qi Xiaohui to sit on the edge of the bed. Took off her shoes. He covered her with a quilt.
Qi Xiaohui nodded as if she didn't understand, patted the pillow and began to coax it to sleep, no longer caring about Tong Xinlan.
sighed. Tong Xinlan felt worthless for Qi Xiaohui, if she didn't come, she would continue to live a hard life of not having enough to eat for six or seven years.
But she is now just a six-year-old doll, she has no way, martial arts and has not yet begun to practice, and she can't fundamentally improve the lives of the two mothers and daughters, so she can only start from the simplest.
Yang Xinlan, who was hungry and had green eyes, once saw the oil thief rat fall into the oil bottle and couldn't climb out, so she learned to use the oil bottle to catch the oil stealing rat.
Tong Xinlan didn't have a good impression of that thing, and when she saw the bird outside the window, Tong Xinlan decided to do it to the bird.
In the bedroom, there were bamboo baskets where Qi Xiaohui and the maids used to embroider fashion cloth and needlework, Tong Xinlan unceremoniously took two bamboo baskets and pulled a few black coarse cloth belts.
When she arrived at the kitchen, Tong Xinlan opened the bowl on the stoneware rice jar and put her head into it, only to see more than a dozen grains of millet.
Although there is little millet, it is better than nothing.
Tong Xinlan and her classmates had caught birds in the village in the village before using the tricks of snow bird hunting in the primary school textbook "Juvenile Leap Earth", so this time she was more experienced.
After placing all the things prepared, Tong Xinlan grabbed the belt of her pants and lay on her stomach in the grass without moving.
The yard is very barren, so there are still many nesting birds.
No one had ever caught a bird like this before, so the birds were not wary.
A flock of birds circled around the grass a few times to make sure there was no danger, and then the birds scrambled to fly down, burrowed under the bamboo basket and began to grab food.
These birds are accustomed to being in the Luoqiong courtyard and have never encountered danger, but this time because there is too little millet, there is a situation where there are more monks and less porridge, which leads to the situation that the birds swarm up.
The birds were not wary at all, and some of them even pecked each other's mouths and fought, for fear that the other party would eat the millet in their pictures.
Fortunately, the bamboo basket is relatively large, and at least seven or eight of them are shrouded in the bamboo basket.
I can't wait any longer, there aren't many grains in the first place, but it's just a matter of two or three birds per bird.
Tong Xinlan was also weird, and she directly pulled her belt with a full breath.
Driven by the belt, the small branch fell down in an instant, and the bamboo basket supported by the branch also fell in response to the call of gravity.
The birds on the edge reacted relatively quickly and escaped two, while the remaining five birds immersed in the fight were covered by lids.
Afraid of the birds working together to overturn the bamboo basket, after accepting Yang Xinlan's body, Tong Xinlan, who felt more and more hungry, ran over and pounced on the bamboo basket, pressing the bamboo basket and not letting go.
The birds fluttered their wings inside, constantly holding the bamboo basket on top.
Fortunately, Tong Xinlan reacted quickly, otherwise these birds would have flipped over the lid of the bamboo basket and ran away.
The bamboo basket covering the birds is not considered a victory, and when the lid was opened to catch the birds, if there were more birds, the rest of the birds would easily run away.
Therefore, Tong Xinlan used Qi Xiaohuiluo's skirt that had been tightly tied to one side of the hole before on the bamboo basket.
Then, press the corners of the skirt with the stones that had been placed next to it, so that the skirt becomes a tent to step on.
Tong Xinlan got her right hand into the skirt with the hole, and used her left hand to squeeze the gap between the wrist of her right hand and the corner of the skirt, so that she was not afraid of the birds escaping at all.
With his right hand, he lifted the basket and drove all the birds out from under the basket.
The birds flew up one after another, only to see that the skirt was pricked by the bird's peck, and the skirt that had been spread on the ground was erected to become a real tent.
They must have seen the sunlight through the thin slits between the spinning yarns, which is why they flew so hard.
However, Tong Xinlan herself is going to starve to death, where can she sigh a little fresh and sigh about the difficulty of a little life?
After making sure that the birds flew out from under the bamboo basket, Tong Xinlan pulled out her right hand, and started to tighten the hem of her skirt at the same time with her left and right hands.
At this moment, I really caught all the birds, and I was not afraid that any of them would escape.
Carrying Luo's skirt back to the kitchen, Tong Xinlan lit the firewood with flint and steel, put it in the stove hole, and boiled the water.
Cleaning bird feathers and finishing chicken feathers is a principle, and scalding with boiling water can better remove hair.
These are all handy jobs, and Tong Xinlan finally made a plate of boiled sparrows in white water.
There is no way, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, it is good to have birds, don't think about oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
Simply Tong Xinlan has a bit of cooking skills, and the sparrows boiled in white water taste good.
Afraid that Qi Xiaohui would swallow the bird's bones, Tong Xinlan carefully tore the sparrow's meat into silk. (To be continued......)

Orange remembered that when she was a child, she went back to the countryside to catch birds, and when she opened the bamboo basket several times, the birds flew away, and the mood at that time was really beepping dogs. The birds we caught are generally fried by us to eat, and the fried sparrows are delicious, but now I dare not catch them when I go back to my hometown, for fear that the sparrows will eat something unclean.
