After entering the mountain, everyone obviously felt that the environment was different from that outside the mountain.
The temperature in the mountains is lower than outside, and the tall trees want to block everything out. Unfortunately, the branches and leaves are not thick enough, so the sun still looks for opportunities to shine in, casting a scorching light.
Except for the first short section of the road, which is slightly flat, the further you go, the more difficult it becomes.
Fortunately, everyone was reluctant to part with the rare bamboo forest and cut down a lot of bamboo. It was very difficult to carry it with them. Yan Laoer offered to tie it to the back of his ox cart.
In this way, Sanbao dragged the cart and the bamboo branches tied together.
Very much like a mountain cow.
The bamboo branches drag along the ground, leaving a trail just for people behind to walk.
The sound is also loud, which is more effective than alerting snakes. So far, no snakes have come out to cause trouble for them.
Take a lunch break as usual.
The wild vegetables the women picked along the way were put to use.
Set up a big pot, put neither oil nor water in. The wild vegetables in the mountains and forests, and a little coarse salt are the most delicious.
Yan Laoer pretended to pull Sanbao to eat some grass.
In fact, it makes it spit out, no, pour water.
They also ate wild vegetables for lunch today. They bought some wild vegetables from the platform last time and had some left over from frugality.
The reason why it can be preserved for so long is because they used the drying method.
But now that we have arrived in the mountains and wild vegetables are no longer scarce, I don’t want to save any more. I eat them happily and pick fresh ones from the mountains in the future.
Yan Xiangheng has skillfully dug the hole and left a good flue.
This is a method taught by his father, and now every family in the village does it.
You no longer need to find stones to build the stove, nor do you have to worry about open flames flying around. Keep the stove mouth large enough so that the pot can be firmly stuck on it. When not in use, backfill it with soil and compact it firmly, so you are no longer afraid of causing wildfires.
As soon as Da Ya finished lighting the fire, she saw her second uncle coming back.
He naturally took the pot from her hand, put it away, and then poured the water from the bamboo tube in. When the water was hot, he grabbed a handful of dried vegetables and threw them in. The dried wild vegetables stretched out in the water little by little, reappearing their youthful appearance.
Wait for the water to boil and pour out the seasoning in his arms.
A pot of simple wild vegetable soup becomes delicious thanks to Yan Laoer's seasoning.
The Yan family still maintains the habit of eating steamed buns, but each family can no longer afford to replace it. Steamed buns are more cost-effective and delicious than pancakes. What prevents them from following the Yan family's footsteps is the lack of water.
Fortunately, their stir-fried wild vegetables can still squeeze out a little bit of moisture, making the thick flour pancakes less choking.
The three aunts who make steamed buns now have some free time. They can just steam them once every few days.
Apart from the Yan family, there are only a few families in the village that can still serve steamed buns.
The difference in meals made everyone deliberately not move around while eating, especially not near the Yan family.
Now when it's time to rest, the Yan family is alone on one side, while everyone gathers together on the other side.
It's not that I have any ideas, mainly because I'm greedy...
Those seasonings made by Yan Laoer, if you add just a little bit, the aroma will be unbearable.
After everyone finished their meal, the men began to take action.
The guys got together and almost got into a fight because who stayed behind to guard and who went out to hunt for prey.
Finally, I got a handful of straw sticks, some long and some short. Whoever caught the long one would go, and whoever caught the short one would keep it.
Yan Laoer caught the long one, and he couldn't close his mouth, he kept moaning.
Those who stayed behind were dejected and had no choice but to untie the bundled bamboo branches.
They had to take advantage of this time to make the bamboo bed that Yan Laoer talked about.
…
"Look here." The second son of the Hu family lowered his voice and called for the big guy to come over.
Everyone was excited to see this familiar excrement.
Only Yan Laoer asked stupidly: "What kind of animal is this?"
Boss Luo secretly said with disgust: "Wild boar."
Wild boar?
Oh my God!
Yan Laoer was very nervous.
He held his bamboo crossbow tightly and looked left and right, fearing that the tyrant in the forest would suddenly rush out.
"No wonder I haven't seen any pheasants or hares around here. It turns out there are wild boars." Qi Si suddenly said.
Luo Laosan immediately became excited, "If you can really hunt a wild boar, just look at me. I will definitely cook it well."
The boss of the Hu family: "Let's make an agreement first. When we encounter that big thing, my second brother and I will go first. If we don't hit its eyes, the wild boar will go crazy. Everyone will run quickly. If they can't run, they will climb up the tree.
Channeling.”
Yan Laoer looked at the trees around him and swallowed hard.
Is he running or climbing a tree?
It's better to run, wuwuwu, he doesn't have the confidence to climb a tree.
"Brother Yan, please change your iron one and shoot it on the forehead." The boss of the Hu family thought that such a precise position would be too difficult for Yan Lao, so he added: "On the legs, on the body, you can do whatever you want.
Say hello."
Anyway, you can shoot anywhere without losing anything. The iron crossbow is so powerful that it hurts wherever it hits.
Yan Laoer thought for a while and said: "Brother Hu, you can use this iron crossbow. If you want to hit it, we can save some energy."
The boss of the Hu family was not a pretentious person and was not polite to him.
If we really encounter that big guy, everyone will have to work together.
"Second brother, just take it. Your accuracy is better than mine."
The second child of the Hu family rubbed his hands excitedly and said happily: "Okay, I'll do it. Don't worry, as long as you touch it, it will be the meat in our pot and it can't escape!"
Soon, they discovered more excrement.
Everyone's excitement was poured cold water on.
It was obvious that this was not a wild boar, but a group of them.
"What to do? There must be several of them." Qi Si replaced the bamboo crossbow and was holding the dead wood he just picked up on the ground.
Remove the forks on the sides and prepare to use them as sticks.
"Feel over there and see if you can find the water source." Luo Laodao said.
Everyone nodded.
After walking forward for a while, they heard the grunt of a wild boar.
Everyone is very excited.
Although I know that groups of wild boars are not easy to mess with, just thinking about the pots and pots of meat there fills me up with strength.
The eldest brother of the Hu family made a gesture, and the second son of the Hu family nodded.
The two of them quietly found a big tree and climbed up it neatly.
As soon as the second son of the Hu family climbed up, he quickly gestured to the people under the tree.
Boss Luo said softly: "Three big ones and a small one."
The Hu brothers didn't expect that they were so lucky.
Even though they were three adult wild boars, they were obviously sows. The more dangerous boar was not among them. The rest were all piglets, so there was nothing to fear.
They were a little wild-minded and wanted to keep both ends.
The two brothers made gestures and looked at their mouth movements, and one of them locked onto one.
Others can only guard one tree each. If they are not well prepared, they can climb up the tree at any time.
Run whatever you want, never run.
Just now the boss of the Hu family said that if the pigs got mad and ran away, they would have been forgotten a long time ago.
It's okay that they haven't seen the wild boar, but now that it's right in front of them, with so many people, they don't believe they can't control it.
There are only three of them. If the Hu brothers can capture two of them, they will kill the remaining one by just piling it up with people!
