Chapter 011: Descending the Mountain
After drying the blades of grass on the fire rack before, Ling Wenjiao burned them to ashes again.
After grilling a fish and eating a roasted cassava, and taking a brief bath in the pool, she returned to the cave and lit a fire in the cave.
He sprinkled the grass ash in front of the cave entrance, rubbed his legs and stretched his legs in the hole, and when he felt that the time was almost up, he lay down on the grass in the cave and closed his eyes.
The grass ash at the entrance of the cave was snake-proof, and the bow and arrow were within her reach.
Although she closed her eyes, she only slept lightly. Sleeping and dying in the mountains, she couldn't do this kind of thing.
The next day it was dawn and she got up. After washing his face, he made a fire outside the cave and roasted the last sweet potato and ate it.
In addition, there is a wild fruit tree next to this waterfall, and in summer there are many fruit trees that are ripe, so you can eat some fruits in the mountains.
After burying the fire, Ling Wenjiao packed up her things and left the cave.
After walking all day in the mountains yesterday, the soreness in my legs has worsened today.
But these are nothing to Ling Wenjiao. Holding back the soreness, she stopped when she came to a grassy slope.
This place is called Rabbit Slope, and there are quite a few rabbits moving around in this area.
Ling Wenjiao found a tree and climbed up and squatted, although this is a rabbit slope, but she has to guard not a rabbit.
After squatting for a while, her gaze suddenly fixed on a certain part of the grassy slope. He quickly took his bow and shot an arrow at the place where it was moving.
"Squeak-" A rat cries rang out.
Ling Wenjiao jumped down from the tree and walked there quickly to see that a big mouse was struggling there.
"Hmm~ Unexpected gain, what a big one!" A mountain mouse that is still one size bigger than an ordinary adult mouse.
"Squeak-" Although the mouse was hit by an arrow in the leg, it still looked very ferocious and turned its head to bite the wooden arrow stuck in the leg.
Seeing Ling Wenjiao approaching, he immediately shouted at her vigilantly: "Squeak-"
Ling Wenjiao took out another wooden arrow, and the tip of the arrow was pointed at its neck.
"Squeak—"
Packing the dead mountain mouse into a bag, she returned to the tree with the arrow.
An hour later, Ling Wenjiao carried three mountain mice in her bag and went down the rabbit slope.
Although there are no rabbits on this rabbit slope, there are many mountain mice. Day or night, you can see them jumping around.
There may be a rat hole around here, because there are so many rats here!
For her survival experience, which has experienced eating earthworms and insects, tree roots, leaves, etc., rat meat and snake meat are already delicacies.
Of course, if you're lucky, you might even catch rabbits, bobcats, dogs, or something. If you're lucky, you'll be able to encounter large beasts like wild boars, and even leopards.
There are leopards living in this mountain, but in recent years too many people have entered the mountain, and these wild animals have gone into hiding.
After finding a place with a water source and cleaning up the three mountain rats, they set up a fire and roasted them.
After eating three unflavored roasted mice, I picked some sour leaves and ate them.
Looks like I'm going to bring some spices or something next time.
After resting for a while, she continued her journey out of the mountain.
That evening, she finally returned home. As soon as she entered the house, something flew out of her.
"Are you coming back?ah?what are you coming back for?What are you coming back for?Who are you?Get out!You are not allowed to enter this house!!" Xia Yulan scolded at her as she picked up a piece of firewood from the kitchen and rushed out.
"Where have you been? You don't want to think about who raised you? You don't help the family and run out to play, you play for two days before you come back. You say you're like talking, how old are you when you go out and don't know how to greet your parents?"
Ling Wenjiao walked the mountain road for another day, and her leg was already in pain. can only stand in the courtyard and block Xia Yulan's whipping with his hands, while shutting up and letting her scold.
She went out without saying a word, and it was indeed her fault, she admitted. So it's okay to be beaten by her, so let her fight.
It's just about training your striking ability.
"Haven't you learned to scold me? Why, don't you speak now? Are you bold? Don't tell your family where you go, if you are deceived by someone, I will raise you for nothing for seventeen years, right?" Xia Yulan scolded like a cannonball in her mouth while waving firewood.
Ling Wenjiao didn't resist and kept standing there, just protecting her face and head with her hands.
The two brothers Ling Wenhai hid by the door of the living room and watched the two of them, thinking that Ling Wenjiao would dodge Xia Yulan's whipping like last time, but this time they only saw Ling Wenjiao being beaten.
"Isn't she going to hide this time?" Ling Wenhai suddenly felt strange.
"I just saw that when she came in from outside, she walked a little weirdly, as if she had heavy legs. And you look at her expression, although she has her head down, she looks indifferent. Ling Wenfeng observed much more carefully than his brother.
"Huh, you say that...... It's really!" Ling Wenhai was so little by him, and after a closer look, he really found that Ling Wenjiao's expression was very calm, and he didn't seem to care about Xia Yulan's whipping.
Ling Wenfeng's eyes were slightly downcast, and he said, "She has changed." ”
With that, he turned and went into the room.
Ling Wenjiao was beaten by Xia Yulan, and the scolding of her had already started the blocking mode. It wasn't until she felt that Xia Yulan was getting harder and harder that she suddenly raised her hand and suddenly grabbed Xia Yulan's stick.
Then she grabbed the stick and twisted it in the opposite direction of Xia Yulan's wrist.
In this way, Xia Yulan couldn't catch the stick.
"Is that enough? enough, I'm going back to my room. After smoking Xia Yulan's stick, Ling Wenjiao threw the stick to the ground, said a word with an expressionless face, and then walked into the house.
"You! You dare to snatch my stick? You want to go to heaven, right? Okay! Your wings have grown stiff, right? I don't think you need to go to this school, what you learn is how to rebel against your parents, right? Let you learn to go out without telling your family?" Xia Yulan was stunned for a moment after she snatched the stick, and after reacting, she pointed at her angrily and scolded.
Ling Wenjiao's figure who had just entered the door stopped, she turned to look at Xia Yulan and asked, "Tell you, why should I tell you? Will you let me go out after telling you? If I don't come back, do you really care about me? You just want me to help you work." Am I your working machine?"
Xia Yulan said angrily: "You were born to me, what's wrong with me asking you to help me work? Do you eat other people's food? What do you eat and wear that we don't give you money? And spend money to go to school, what's wrong with you helping the family work?"
Ling Wenjiao looked at her and said coldly: "Those are your obligations as parents, if you don't want to raise me, then don't give birth to me in the first place." Besides, it's my dad who feeds me, wears me, and goes to school, it's my dad, not you. ”
