Chapter 11: The Hunt

In the morning, according to Erya's estimate, it is no more than four o'clock at most. The uncle and the second uncle took Daman, Dahong, Xiangzi, and Laizi; Carrying it on its back, carrying it on its shoulders, it's coming!

Erya asked a few cousins, did they take off the sandbags; Let the straps that tie the trouser legs and cuffs be brought; Did you bring a machete; carrots and greens are not brought; After making sure that nothing was left behind, they began to check what they had prepared themselves!

The medicine to repel snakes and insects was given by my grandfather. Grandpa Tai has a grandson who is running a business and needs to sleep in the wilderness a lot. Therefore, he had a lot of these medicines at home, and when Grandpa Tai heard that they were going into the mountains, he took a lot of them to use!

After the inspection, the uncle and the second uncle will lead the way, and the road will be super close to the mountain!

It took me more than an hour to reach the foot of the mountain. Because the uncles used to go up the mountain to cut down trees, they often walked the way up the mountain, and took the big forest as their destination. Today, they are hunting, looking for a place where there are many bushes, and when they reach the foot of the mountain, they can only choose the route again!

They first looked for a place where there were rabbits, and then they put a large cage there, and hung greens or carrots in the corners of the cage. In particular, greens and carrots were hung on the outside of the cage door. Where there is water, whether there are rabbit traces or not, Erya has placed one, and four cages are placed in four places, which are far apart.

After putting the cage away, start looking for the pheasant's nest. I found a bush with five chicken coops, marked them, sprinkled them with realgar, and found a far away and open place to start cleaning them up for the night's rest.

After doing this, Erya saw that it was still early, so she wanted to find a chestnut tree and beat chestnuts! I also want to find the dead tree that has grown fungus, and I also want to see if there is any fruit to bring back to Xiaolong, Anzi, and Hongguo for them to eat, which was promised to them yesterday.

Erya saw that the uncle had nothing to do, so she said, "Uncle, where is the chestnut tree you are talking about?" We don't have anything to do right now, let's go and have a look! ”

The uncle looked at the sky and shook his head: "It's too late to go now, it's still on the mountain over there." As he spoke, the uncle pointed to a hill on the left, "Did you see that?" It's on that mountain with so many big trees, you look very close, but it's actually far away! We won't be able to come back until we get to the end of the day. ”

The second uncle picked up a lot of dry firewood, which was almost enough for one night, so he didn't pick it up anymore! When he walked up to the uncle and the second girl, he asked worriedly, "Niece and daughter-in-law, is it okay to burn a fire at night in this mountain?" We used to come, and the older generation always explained that we couldn't use fire. ”

Er Ya smiled and said, "Second uncle, I know what you said!" So, you see, the place I'm looking for is surrounded by a lot of rocks and no trees. And I've asked Xiaohu and them to go to find smaller stones, and when the stones come, we will build a small stove, so that we won't be afraid of the flames coming out! We put less firewood when we put it and try our best to be safe! ”

The second uncle nodded: "So I'll be relieved!" ”

As they spoke, Xiaohu and the others came back with the stones, some hugged two, some hugged three, and one more trip was almost enough.

Erya told them to pay attention to safety, so they walked around the neighborhood by themselves to look for fruit. After walking a short distance, I saw a lot of mountain grapes, although they were all ripe and black and shiny, but unfortunately they were too small. Is there anyone to eat when you bring it back? Making wine? Now there is not even money to buy sugar, alas! Erya shook her head, forget it! We'll talk about that later.

Keep walking, "Huh! This is a sansho?! All right! Pepper soaked phoenix feet, but our favorite! I'm going to take it back with you! ”

Ah! Two girls pat their heads! Only to find out that I didn't have a back basket, what a shame! Erya looked back and saw that she hadn't gone far, so she put her hands to her lips and shouted at the uncle: "Xiaohu, send me a back basket!" ”

And then everywhere: "Come on, come on"

Fortunately, Xiaohu still heard it, and quickly took a back basket, and ran over with a back basket on his own! Xiaohu ran over to take a look, and the second girl held a hand full of peppers, and shouted in fright: "Oops! You can't ask for that, it's spicy, it's spicy, you can't eat it! I had a cousin who had a stomachache after eating that, and he almost died of pain! ”

Er Ya laughed wildly, they must have eaten this as a dish, otherwise it wouldn't be spicy like that! "Then don't you all eat chili? No wonder I never found the peppers! I thought our yard didn't grow peppers for the sake of many kinds of beans. Chili peppers are a good thing! Er Ya shook her head, no wonder their economy couldn't go up, they didn't seize too many opportunities!

Xiaohu smiled: "We don't dare to eat!" ”

Erya immediately decided to pick all these peppers back and use straw ash for freshness. Take it out and sell it at the handover of winter and spring, make a gimmick, and see if you can make some windfall!

I searched all the surroundings, and I only picked half a basket. Xiaohu picked those mountain grapes silently, full of baskets, Er Ya looked at the spiky mountain grapes, only felt uncomfortable with his teeth!

Erya asked Xiaohu to go back first, and he found it nearby. Soon, several more Jianlan plants were found that were about to enter the dormant period. Erya likes the fragrance of Jianlan very much, and the flowering period of Jianlan is very long, and it can bloom for several months. In the past, when I was with my master, I had to raise a few pots of Jianlan every year!

"I won't dig you now, and when spring comes, you all wake up, and then come and move you home! Ah! That's great! "Erya does not have the weight of being burdened with huge debts at all, nor does she feel sad about living in another world. She's using it as a vacation!

Xiaohu sent the mountain grapes back and came back with a basket. Follow Erya, looking east and west. Suddenly, Xiaohu found himself bumping into Erya's body, and it turned out that Erya stood still, with an excited face! "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong?" Xiaohu looked around vigilantly, and found no danger, so he was a little puzzled!

Erya pointed to a small bush three or four feet away from her feet, and exclaimed excitedly, "Did you see it?" There's gastrodia in there! There are a few of them, at least a dozen of them! Oh! OMG! Erya shouted excitedly while turning around and hugging Xiaohu: "Xiaohu, our luck is here, maybe our debt can be paid off after the winter this year!" What to do? This day hemp to dig in winter and spring! Are we going to keep it here? "Erya is a little broken when she thinks about it!

Xiaohu was suddenly hugged by Erya, and his brain exploded, and he was rushed to his head by a burst of blood, and it was blank! Erya said nothing but heard anything. Just thinking about how Erya hugged herself today, she took the initiative to hug her before, and she passively accepted it. "Ahh Daughter-in-law, I didn't hear what you said! Xiaohu asked Erya timidly.

Erya let go of her arms and took Xiaohu's hand. "Let's go, let's go back and discuss with the uncle!"

Xiaohu let Erya lead her by herself, and Jiaojiao followed Erya shyly. Several cousins saw it from afar and laughed together! The eldest uncle and the second uncle were embarrassed to look at them, so they had to bow their heads and pretend to speak.

Erya pulled Xiaohu and trotted all the way to the uncle and second uncle, "Uncle, second uncle, good situation." I saw that there was gastrodia over there, gastrodia! Know it! ”

The uncle and the second uncle shook their heads blankly! Erya's face was surprised, oh my God! In the past, her hometown was also rural, but everyone there knew that gastrodia was a precious medicinal material! And uncle, they don't even know what Tianma is!

Alas! It's no wonder that they don't have a way to make money, their knowledge is too small! It's like South Africa, where children play with diamonds as stones! It's not that you're rich and capricious, but you don't know what that thing is worth at all!

"Uncle, second uncle, this gastrodia is a precious medicinal material, something that can not be found. Xiaohu and I found more than a dozen of them over there, and they looked like they had been around for a few years. But you can't dig it now, so you have to dig it again in the winter month, which is more valuable! It's just that what to do during this time? Let's send someone to watch, there is no way to solve life. If you don't look at it, if you are dug up by people who go up the mountain to collect medicine, you will lose a lot of money! Erya is talking about the problem while also using his brain to find a solution!
