Chapter 010: Up the Mountain
After waiting at home for half an hour and not seeing Ling Wenjiao, Xia Yulan scolded and went out: "Where did that dead girl go early in the morning and never come back? I still want her to go to work in the field today, but she is lazy for me! Look at how I clean up when I come back at noon! If you have the ability, don't go back to this house! See if I don't break your legs!"
After Ling Wenhai and Ling Wenfeng were woken up by her voice, they found that Ling Wenjiao was not at home early in the morning, and after listening to Xia Yulan's scolding, their sister went out without saying anything.
"Wenfeng Wenfeng, have you noticed that since yesterday, my sister's situation is strange. It feels like a different person...... I won't talk about anything else, she is not afraid at all when she faces her mother. And dare to resist Mom!" Ling Wenhai sat on the kitchen table holding a bowl of porridge, looking at Ling Wenfeng who was cooking in the pot and said.
Ling Wenfeng nodded when he heard this: "It's indeed a little, and she has always been very bad at sports before." But yesterday, I was very flexible to dodge my mother's whipping, and I looked at her movements with ease. ”
When Ling Wenhai heard this, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes and asked, "Really, I didn't see it yesterday, but when I heard you say that she actually avoided her mother, I thought it was so strange." She never dared to dodge her mother's stick. ”
Ling Wenfeng said: "Not only did I dare to hide, but I also dared to scold back." It's really like a different person! and there will be fights......"
Ling Wenhai nodded: "I feel that after she had a fever the night before, the whole person is like a ghost." ”
"Shhhhhhh As soon as Ling Wenfeng heard that he dared to say that Ling Wenjiao was a ghost, he immediately reminded him.
"Oh...... But where did she go early in the morning?" Ling Wenhai asked strangely after answering.
Ling Wenfeng lowered his head to eat breakfast: "Who knows." ”
At this time, Ling Wenjiao was already on the mountain.
She sat on a stone beside a fire, and with a knife she sharpened the straight and straight branches of a tree as thick as a finger, sharpening the ends of the branches.
Each branch is about a meter long, with one end sharpened and the other cut a groove in the middle of the flat cut.
Then she cut a thicker bow-shaped branch, and found a very tough vine, and made a bow and arrow of her own.
Flicking the elasticity of the slingshot string, she took out a wooden arrow and placed it on the bowstring, then aimed at the pole of a tree ten meters in front of her.
After aiming, she let go of her hand. With a "boom-" sound, the wooden arrow in her hand disappeared in an instant.
"Poof—" There was a soft sound, and the wooden arrow in her hand landed on the tree pole in the blink of an eye. Of course, it did not shoot through.
When she walked over, she picked up the wooden arrow and looked at it, and saw that her sharpened arrow had broken.
Look at the tree pole again, and sure enough, there is a small hole. The arrows pierced the bark, but they couldn't pierce the bones.
Ling Wenjiao didn't pay much attention, she walked back to the fire. After sitting down, he picked up a twig and turned it over into the coals of the fire, and then turned out a roasted sweet potato.
This is when she passed by her family's sweet potato field, she dug a few by hand. He also pulled out a cassava, picked three cassava of different sizes, and carried them to the mountains in a bag.
After eating a hot sweet potato, she took a sip of water. After burying the fire with earth, he got up and took his things and left the place.
She walked forward slowly with light steps, and the places where she put her feet were as low as possible to make a sound.
Her current location is on the outskirts of the mountain, and there will be no big animals at all. And in the morning during the day, squirrels and birds are generally more active.
Ling Wenjiao is like a cat when she moves in the mountains, light and flexible. After walking a few hundred meters, she suddenly stopped, and then her body instantly crouched.
There was a movement in the grass ahead, and I don't know what it was.
Ling Wenjiao's reaction to squatting down was actually habitual, which was the reaction habit she had practiced in death training in the primeval forest.
Although this was not the forest that they had tore apart and only five people could survive in the end, she only needed to pay attention to the killers in nature, not the killers who ambushed each other.
It's just that this is the outskirts of the mountain, except for some poisonous insects, snakes and ants, there is nothing to pay attention to.
After squatting for a while, the voice slowly drifted away.
Ling Wenjiao stood up and continued to walk towards the depths of the mountain.
After a long day of walking, she finally arrived at the destination of the trip before dark.
Here is a waterfall on the edge of a cave with a cave. When she entered the cave, she did a simple cleaning, and then cut some grass and spread it on the ground.
Because she's going to sleep here tonight.
During the day, she has been walking mountain roads, climbing mountains and mountains, walking at least 20 kilometers, and she is still climbing mountains.
His legs were sore and heavy, and the soles of his feet were red. Fortunately, when she walked, she used a special way and adjusted her strength.
Because she was wearing cloth shoes, the soles were not suitable for long-term wear, and if she didn't control the strength and balance of her feet, she would soon scrap these shoes.
Walking in the mountains has a purpose, and it can also exercise the motor nerves of the whole body from the changing terrain, especially for the legs, which is more practical than on the running track in the school playground.
This cave was a time in her previous life when she went up the mountain with other girls in the village, she got lost and came here by mistake.
So after coming back, Ling Wenjiao planned to use this place as her secret training base in the future.
After cleaning the cave, she made a fire at the entrance of the cave and baked a straw stand on the fire that she had seen on the mountain road during the day.
Then she took the bow she had made in the morning and walked towards the waterfall pool, where the sun had already set, but the light had not yet darkened.
The waterhole is not very big, but it is a bit deep. Fortunately, the water is very clear, except for the waterfall, where the water splashes down, and you can see the situation under the water everywhere else.
She put the arrow on the bowstring and did not pull it apart. But the tip of the arrow pointed under the water, and stood there silently.
Her eyes stared silently at the underwater movement, and the streamers flickered under her eyes.
After more than ten minutes of protecting a movement, she suddenly pulled her bow and released it into the water.
"Poof—" The wooden arrow turned into a shadow of an arrow and flew into the water.
"Gollum—" Soon, the water flipped over, and the wooden arrow pierced through a fish three fingers wide and struggled underwater.
After a while, its movements subsided, and it floated in the water until it finally surfaced.
Ling Wenjiao went into the water and picked up the fish, although it was not big enough, but it could fill her stomach slightly. And there is also the cassava she served in the morning, plus a roasted cassava is enough.
Although she has consumed a lot of physical energy today, she should actually eat meat......
But that's it for today, and then get some meat for tomorrow.
