Chapter 205 White Feet

Yue Feng caught the second mouse in the cage, took out a piece of wire as a skeleton, and wrapped it three times inside and three times outside with rags and pine cones. In addition, he took out a string of red double-row whips from his bag.

These small firecrackers used to entertain children during the Chinese New Year are very small, only slightly bigger than a fingernail. There are about 100 to 200 firecrackers in a string. Children play with them one by one and light them. A string of small firecrackers can be used to play for a whole morning.

But Yue Feng is not lighting it for fun now, he is upgrading the Fire Rat.

The small firecrackers are firmly fixed by wrapping iron wire around the pigtails several times, and then hung directly on the mouse’s tail. Then pine oil seeds, rags, chilies, etc. are tied to the fuse of the small firecrackers.

After some dressing up, the fire mouse added a small whip and a big gift bag, then lit the last fire starter and stuffed the second mouse into the hole.

First there was fire, then smoke. After a few minutes, the pine torches and other combustible materials on the mouse’s tail were almost ignited. The flame ignited the fuse of the whip, and the sound of the whip popping in the hole could be heard.

In an open-air environment, the explosion effect of this kind of children’s firecrackers with a small amount of explosives is very small, but it is a different story in a relatively closed environment.

The explosion of firecrackers will produce vibrations, and a large amount of irritating gases from the burning of black powder will spread deep into the cave.

Yue Feng’s trick has always worked. After hearing the sound of firecrackers exploding, he immediately raised the stick above his head, waiting for the target to show up and then hit it.

But he didn’t come out no matter how long I waited.
Could it be that the old badger in the cave is not in this den?
Just when Yue Feng was somewhat puzzled, Xiao Tao next to him discovered out of the corner of his eye that another hole blocked with earth not far away was opened, and a big fat badger weighing at least 20 kilograms came out of it and ran wildly towards the distance.

“Brother, the old badger ran away from the back door! I’ll chase him!” Xiao Tao shouted and chased after him with his pliers.

Although this adult badger does not run very fast, it is not easy for ordinary people to catch up with it when running in the snow. However, it is a different story if the one chasing it is Xiao Tao. Xiao Tao is an expert at chasing wild boars in the pine forest. When he swings his two long legs, he runs like lightning.

After quickly catching up with the badger in a sprint, Xiao Tao swung the pliers in his hand and smashed it down.

The attack missed the target because the opponent didn’t calculate the target well, and it hit the badger’s hind legs.

The badger felt pain and turned around to bite Xiao Tao’s calf as if it was a conditioned reflex.

Xiao Tao was quick to follow up and kicked the badger on the head. The fat badger was kicked hard and turned over immediately.

While the badger was turning over, Xiao Tao swung the big pliers in his hand again.

“Grass!”

This time he swung with great force, hitting the badger on the head, causing it to stop instantly and its limbs began to twitch.

Xiao Tao wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned the badger over, and hit its head again. This time, there was no movement at all.

“I can beat a 200-pound wild boar to death, but you still want to bite me!” Xiao Tao proudly grasped the handle of the pliers, clamped the badger’s hind legs, and dragged the badger back with one hand holding the pliers.

On the other side, Yue Feng was still guarding the main cave entrance without moving. About ten seconds later, another big badger came out of the main cave entrance.

Yue Feng saw the big badger in advance before it even showed its head. He hit it with a stick as soon as it showed its head and took it down again.

“Brother, has the other one come out? I killed this one!” Xiao Tao asked.

Yue Feng: “It’s done. The six of us are now in good order! Let’s drain the blood and open the chest, and then we can go home!”

“Hehe, Brother Feng, this trick of yours is really effective! Two big mice raided the badger’s den! Look at this big male badger, it’s as fat as a ball, how much oil must it have produced!”

Xiaowen quickly cleaned out the badger’s internal organs, picked up one of the badger’s hind legs and turned the big male badger over, and said excitedly.

Yue Feng was also quite satisfied with today’s results: “Now we have the badger oil for burns! Let’s go home and peel the skin, clean up, and stew a big pot of radish for lunch!”

Xiaowen looked at the prey on the ground and said, “Brother Feng, let’s not move this big male badger. Aren’t you going to take it to my uncle’s house? Just carry it with you! We can’t finish the remaining four small ones and one big one at noon!”

“Okay! I’ll listen to you! Go home!”

The four brothers returned to the village with their spoils.

According to Yue Feng’s own idea, he went home to put down his things, packed them up, and went to Wang Xiaona’s house. But when he reached the village entrance, Xiaowen reminded him: “It’s a good time to go and give gifts in this state! We will go back first, you can go directly! The brothers are waiting for you at home!”

Yue Feng looked down and realized that he was digging and lighting fires all over the place, causing smoke and fire. The outside of his cotton pants was covered with dirt, which somewhat affected his personal image.

However, after hearing Xiaowen’s reminder, Yue Feng’s mind turned and he immediately realized what he meant.

He went there without caring about his image, and sent the badger back immediately after killing it, which shows that he cares more about this matter.

When it comes to this relationship, you need to be sincere in your relationship, and you should also use some tricks. The ultimate goal is to provide the most emotional value and achieve the desired result.

Well, let’s do as Xiaowen said.

So, not long after, Yue Feng, who was covered in smoke and dust, knocked on Wang Xiaona’s door, carrying a fat badger.

“Is Auntie at home?”

“It’s Xiaofeng! He’s here, the door is not closed, come in quickly!”

When Zhang Cuilian heard Yue Feng’s movement, she immediately pushed open the door of the north room to welcome him out. Wang Xiaona, who was lying on the kang in the room, was as if she had been electrocuted after hearing Yue Feng’s movement. She was in a panic, put away the picture book “Dream of Red Mansions” she was reading, and sat up straight.

When Zhang Cuilian went out, she saw Yue Feng holding a huge badger in his hand. He looked a little disheveled, as if he had rolled in the snow.

“Xiao Yu said that Xiao Na burned her feet, so I went to the river early in the morning to dig up a badger and applied the badger oil to the burn. It healed quickly!”

Yue Feng was somewhat uncomfortable with this way of speaking, and his words sounded a little awkward.

“Wow, such a big badger, it must be more than 20 kilograms! I’ll clean up the badger and give it some oil later! Xiaona is in the west room, if you’re worried, go and take a look and talk to her!” Zhang Cuilian was very satisfied with the performance of her future son-in-law.

Wang Mingyu went to tell him yesterday evening, and Yue Feng went to beat the badger back early this morning. Although he looked a little dirty, doesn’t this just show that his son-in-law took Xiaona’s words seriously? Otherwise, he could have gone home and changed his clothes before coming back.

Yue Feng scratched his head and said politely: “I am covered in dirt, otherwise I would not have come into the house!”

Zhang Cuilian waved her hands when she heard Yue Feng’s words: “What are you talking about? We are all rural people who make a living in the fields. Who is making fun of whom? Sometimes your uncle comes back covered in dirt! I can just beat you with a towel! Be obedient and come into the house!”

As she spoke, Zhang Cuilian had already picked up the towel hanging on the washbasin and patted Yue Feng from head to toe to shake off the dust on his body.

“Okay, Xiaona is in the west room, go take a look! Xiaona, Xiaofeng is here to see you!” Zhang Cuilian shouted, then motioned Yue Feng to come into the room.

Although Yue Feng is somewhat lacking in talent when it comes to relationships between men and women, he still has basic knowledge of how to behave and deal with people.

My future mother-in-law is giving me a chance, so I can’t be a coward at the critical moment.

So Yue Feng plucked up the courage to push open Xiaona’s door.

Xiaona, who was sitting on the edge of the kang, was more nervous than Yue Feng. She responded after hearing her mother’s call, and the next second Yue Feng pushed the door open.

“Brother Xiaofeng, you’re here!” Yue Feng’s birthday is a little older than Wang Xiaona’s, and they are the same age, so there is nothing wrong with calling him that.

Yue Feng calmed down a lot when he entered the room.

“Xiao Na, how is the burn? Let me take a look!”

A girl’s boudoir is different from a man’s. The room is filled with fragrance as soon as you enter.

At this moment, Wang Xiaona was dressed neatly, the only flaw was that the burned little white foot was bare and not wearing shoes.

Logically speaking, Yue Feng had a woman in his previous life, and he had seen and eaten pork before, but when he saw Wang Xiaona’s little white feet, his heart was still moved.

The feet are white, and there is a noticeable redness at the ankle that extends all the way to the instep. Although there are no blisters, the skin in this area will fall off sooner or later.

“It didn’t hurt too much. Fortunately, I was wearing cotton shoes and my mother used cold water to pull it out for me!” Wang Xiaona said softly.

Yue Feng forced his eyes away from Wang Xiaona’s little feet and said, “Okay, it’s not too serious. Take care of it for two days. My aunt will give you some badger oil later. Apply it several times a day in the morning, noon and evening. It will be healed in ten days!”

“Where did you get the badger? It’s windy today and very cold outside!” Wang Xiaona looked at Yue Feng’s face with a slightly smoky look on it, her heart beating fast.

“It’s OK. I’m used to the wind from going up and down the mountain all day! We caught the badgers by the Muling River outside Fang’an Village. I took Xiaowen and the others with me! We caught six, two big ones and four small ones! I brought a big male badger to your family, and Xiaowen and the others took the rest back!”

“How can the badger dig a hole in such a cold weather? The ground would have been frozen solid long ago! I remember last year my dad was digging a hole in the yard, and every time he hit it with a pickaxe, a white spot appeared!”

“Hey, I have a trick! I caught two big rats, tied rags and pine torches to their tails, stuffed them with hot peppers and small firecrackers, and with the smoke and firecrackers, I raided the badger’s den!
There was a big badger that ran out from the back door. Xiao Tao chased it with a pair of tongs for dozens of meters before he caught it! I killed this big male badger. As soon as it showed its head, I hit it with a stick! “

When talking about the record of picking badgers, Yue Feng no longer cared about being nervous and talked about it freely.

“You’re awesome!!”

When Wang Xiaona heard Yue Feng’s trick of picking badgers, she felt that the man in front of her looked taller than she remembered. There were little stars in her eyes when she looked at Yue Feng.

“Hehe! It’s not bad!!” Yue Feng smiled.

“My dad will be back from a meeting in the village soon, why don’t you have lunch at my house? Let my mom make you something delicious!” Wang Xiaona took the initiative to keep Yue Feng at home for dinner.

Yue Feng knew that this meal was not so delicious. Right now the relationship between the two families was at a “sensitive” stage. If he really stayed for dinner, it would be awkward.

The fact that he took the initiative to send Badger today and that the two of them had their first private chat was already a huge improvement. As long as things develop steadily in the future, the future will be promising.

“It’s really an unfortunate coincidence today. I asked Xiao Tao and Xiao Wen for help, and promised them to provide lunch at my house today! If I have a chance another day, I will definitely come to try my aunt’s cooking!” Yue Feng declined politely.

“That’s fine! Actually, I can cook too. My specialty is braised pork. When your foot is healed, I will cook for you and let you taste my cooking skills!”

“Okay, that’s a deal! I love braised pork the most!” Yue Feng quickly agreed.

“No problem! I’ll make it for you if you like it!”

The Wang Xiaona in reality is much more proactive than the Wang Xiaona in Yue Feng’s memory. In his memory, she was polite but cold in her previous life, which is completely different from the little girl now.

The two chatted for a while in the west room. Yue Feng felt that the time was about up, so he said hello and ended this first “informal meeting”.

Under Zhang Cuilian’s gaze, Yue Feng walked out of the alley, and Xiaona’s mother then returned to her home.

They only stayed there for about an hour, and Yue Feng felt more nervous than the first time he went to Zhang Dayantong’s banquet. His back was soaked with sweat without him noticing.

However, this time I personally went to deliver the task, and the gains were very considerable.

My dear mother-in-law, I need not mention your enthusiasm. If Yue Feng is willing to stay for lunch, then we must prepare everything we have at home for lunch!

In addition, Yue Feng finally took the most crucial step. So far, it seems that he is doing much better than expected. The cold little girl in his memory is not resistant to Yue Feng at all. Instead, she is very close to him and proactive. If her feet were not burned and affected her actions, there would be absolutely no problem even asking her to go out for a stroll or walk on the street.

In addition, besides Xiaona being very enthusiastic towards him and the good atmosphere between the two of them chatting, her little feet are so white!
