Chapter 303 - 303: Wild Boar
Xiao Ye stretched his head over and listened carefully to Jian Qingqing’s explanation.
“This piece of bamboo is too thin. First, use a small knife to scratch a mark. Don’t break it. Later, use ink to deepen the mark. If you carve it, you have to carve such a symbol. This is called an A, and then carve a small square…”
Jian Qingqing explained the card’s appearance to him in detail. Ono used his outstanding memory to memorize it all, even though he did not understand a lot of it.
“Sister, since this represents one, why don’t you write one?”
“Uhh…” Jian Qingqing was stuck for a moment. She was just used to calling it an A. If it was written as one, that would be fine, right? “Alright, just write one. As long as you like it.”
Xiao Ye was finally satisfied and went to carve.
Because they had to carve 54 cards, it still took a long time. After Xiao Ye finished carving one, Jian Qingqing colored it and then put it aside to dry.
It took her an entire morning to finish them.
“Alright, let’s go eat first. After we finish eating, I’ll teach you how to play.”
Xiao Lang and Xiao Ye cheered together and asked, “Sister, where’s our beef jerky?’
“Wait,” Jian Qingqing said. She went to the horse carriage behind them to get a bag of beef jerky.
Xiao Hu ran back and saw his brothers eating beef jerky. He said happily, “Sister, do you have beef jerky today too? Give me some too!”
She said, “No.”
The smile on Xiao Hu’s face stopped and he exclaimed, “Why not?!”
Xiao Lang gloated, “Because we help the elder sister work you did not help.”
Seeing the face of Xiao Hu, he was very angry. He loudly said, “Sister, what do you want to do? I will help you too!’
“It’s too late, we’ve already finished.”
Xiao Hu was instantly dumbfounded and looked at Jian Qingqing aggrievedly.
Jian Qingqing patted his head and said, “We’re already going to have our meal, so don’t it now. You’ll be able to eat it tomorrow.”
Xiao Ye hesitated for quite a while and placed the few remaining beef jerky in
Xiao Hu’s hand and said, “Brother, I’ll let you eat it.”
Xiao Hu hugged him in surprise and said, “Xiao Ye, you’re really my good little brother!’
After saying that, he looked at Xiao Lang unhappily. “You’re no longer my good little brother, hmph!’
Xiao Lang did not care at all. He focused on eating the beef jerky and waved his hand. “It’s fine as long as I’m Sister’s good little brother.”
As he said that, he grabbed Jian Qingqing’s sleeve. “Sister, can you give your good little brother some more jerky?”
Jian Qingqing smiled. Under his expectant gaze, she slowly said, “No.”
The smile on Xiao Lang’s face immediately froze. He clapped his hands and pretended not to care. “It’s okay. I’ve had enough.”
Jian Qingqing found it extremely funny. She looked at the noisy group in front of her. It was so dark that she could not see what they were doing. She said, “Let’s go and see what happened.”
She was about to walk over when Wei Zheng stopped her. “Princess, wait a moment. There might be danger ahead.”
Jian Qingqing was stunned. “Danger?’
Because there were many people in the line to the Capital, they were in a long line on the road, so Jian Qingqing was actually quite far from the head of the line. She could not see what was happening there.
Wei Zheng nodded. He looked ahead and said, “Wait for your subordinate to go and investigate before coming back.”
After saying that, he ran over quickly. After a while, he ran back and said, “We met a wild boar ahead. Now that the wild boar has been killed, if Princess wants to go and have a look, you can go..”
