Chapter 121 Catching a Big Bird
Yu Wanwan looked at the fourth brother with a deep gaze.
Suddenly, she reached out and snatched the roasted sweet potato from the fourth brother's hand.
Under the questioning gaze of the fourth brother, Yu Wanwan said ruthlessly, "I think you're starting to gain weight horizontally, so you should eat less."
Ok? ? ?
The fourth brother was even more puzzled.
He's only just started living a life where he doesn't have to go hungry, so why is his grandmother saying he's expanding horizontally?
But Yu Wanwan was ignoring him.
She herself was somewhat disgusted by the fourth brother's drool.
So even after she snatched the roasted sweet potato, she didn't eat it.
She handed a roasted sweet potato to the young soldier who was helping her tend the fire: "Here, have some."
The young soldier was already swallowing his saliva as soon as he smelled the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes.
But he never expected that he would get a share of the roasted sweet potato.
In the military camp, the general's words must be treated as sacred edicts.
The general's wife is the general's wife, and when the general is not around, the wife's words are like imperial edicts.
Since it was the lady who ordered him to eat it, he certainly couldn't disobey the imperial decree.
He eagerly took the sweet potato, said "Thank you, madam," and then wolfed it down.
As for the fourth brother next to him, who looked resentful, he chose to turn his back and not look at him.
If you don't look at him, you can pretend he doesn't exist.
Fourth Brother: "..." He also roasted sweet potatoes.
Yu Wanwan ate one of the remaining roasted sweet potatoes.
Have the others in the kitchen divide up the rest.
"This roasted sweet potato is so fragrant and sweet, I think it tastes even better than sugar."
"Is this what everyone planted in the General's Mansion during the day? If we can really grow sweet potatoes and make them widespread, will we be able to eat roasted sweet potatoes more often in the future?"
Soldiers in the barracks would occasionally come to the general's mansion to help out.
As a result, news has spread that sweet potatoes and potatoes are being planted in the general's mansion.
Upon learning how delicious sweet potatoes were, the soldiers in the kitchen were so eager to rush to the backyard of the general's mansion to help, even if it meant staying up all night.
We will strive to plant the sweet potatoes as soon as possible.
Practice has proven that these stoves are very useful for roasting sweet potatoes.
She took out dozens more sweet potatoes from her spatial storage.
Leave it to someone else.
"Just like I did, bury the sweet potatoes under the charcoal fire. Remember to turn them over halfway through. They're almost done when you smell the aroma. Just be careful not to burn them."
Pei Yi and several deputy generals were still in a meeting discussing important matters.
Let them have some roasted sweet potatoes too, as a treat.
Yu Wanwan had been squatting in front of the stove for so long that she was completely warmed up.
After handing the sweet potatoes to them, she left the kitchen with the fourth son.
The fourth brother staying in the kitchen will definitely mean eating roasted sweet potatoes.
She doesn't want him to have it too easy right now.
She needs to teach him a lesson.
The fourth brother followed behind Yu Wanwan, turning back every few steps as he walked outside.
Once he was completely out and could no longer see the sweet potatoes inside, he looked up and quietly glanced at Yu Wanwan's back.
The reason why his grandmother was so heartless in not letting him eat roasted sweet potatoes must be because she was influenced by his grandfather.
He discovered this a little too late.
No, now that we've discovered it so late, he should put in even more effort to stop them from contacting each other in private.
The bright red sun in the distance was completely swallowed up by the mountains.
It was getting dark.
Yu Wanwan was worried that the flashlights, lamps, and other light-emitting devices at the wounded soldiers' camp might still have power.
He then planned to take the fourth brother in that direction.
Suddenly, the fourth brother pointed to the corner of a camp, tugged at Yu Wanwan's sleeve, and said, "Grandmother, look, isn't there a chicken over there?"
In the first year and a half after the famine began, the servants in the mansion were still able to catch game from the mountains.
He remembered that the pheasants he caught on the mountain looked just like this.
They have feathers and long, thin claws.
"chicken?"
Yu Wanwan also noticed a claw and a wing peeking out from behind the tent.
It also peeked its head towards the kitchen.
"Is that really a chicken? There are still live chickens at this hour?"
The creature looked larger than any bird Yu Wanwan had ever seen.
In addition, it was getting dark, so it wasn't very clear.
Like the fourth brother, she also thought it was a chicken.
She was shocked.
She thought that there were no other living things besides humans in ancient times, but she never expected there to be a live chicken.
And it was a sneaky, seemingly intelligent live chicken?
Yu Wanwan made a shushing gesture to Lao Si.
They tiptoed toward that corner.
I don't know what that "chicken" was looking at, but it seemed quite engrossed in it.
They all slowly approached, but it didn't even notice.
Looking at it, Yu Wanwan couldn't help but feel a little emotional. With its extraordinary insensitivity, it was truly a miracle that it could survive to this day in the world.
Seeing that they were only two or three steps away from it, Yu Wanwan gave Lao Si a wink.
The two moved almost perfectly in sync.
It pounced on the "chicken".
This time, the "chicken" finally realized what was happening.
It emits a sharp cry.
Only then did Yu Wanwan realize that it didn't seem to be a chicken.
Its call was quite abrupt in the military camp.
It quickly attracted a large number of soldiers.
A crowd gathered around.
All talking.
Even Pei Yi and the others, who were holding a meeting inside their tent for seven days, heard the shouts outside.
"General, did you hear that? It sounds like birds chirping outside?"
"Birdsong? There are still birds? General, let's go out and take a look."
Pei Yi and Chen Shu's group soon arrived at Yu Wanwan's place.
The soldiers who had surrounded Yu Wanwan and Lao Si immediately made way for Pei Yi as soon as they saw him approaching.
Pei Yi brought Chen Shu to Yu Wanwan.
The two of them saw clearly what Yu Wanwan and Lao Si were holding.
Chen Shu exclaimed in surprise, "It's actually a gyrfalcon? Madam, was this gyrfalcon also given to you by a deity?"
"If the gods can give you living creatures, can you also ask the gods to give you a few living horses? That way we can breed horses ourselves and have cavalry when we go to the battlefield again."
Pei Yi hasn't told them about the motorcycle yet.
Therefore, they were unaware that there were mounts that were faster and more agile than horses.
Chen Shu also longed to acquire a few horses.
Just like before, I can ride into battle in a majestic manner.
Yu Wanwan shook her head: "It wasn't given to me by a god. Gods can't give me living things right now. Besides, you said this thing is called a gyrfalcon?"
Yu Wanwan had heard of the gyrfalcon.
I heard about it in a novel.
The gyrfalcon in the novel is incredibly powerful; not only is it fast-flying, but it can also carry an adult on its back.
In her imagination, the gyrfalcon was very large.
It's the same size as the Condor Heroes in The Return of the Condor Heroes.
However, the gyrfalcon in front of us is only about fifty or sixty meters long.
It only weighs a few pounds.
If it can carry a person flying like that, how small must that person be?
