Chapter 4 Preliminary Exploration
Cleaned up and ate two cold eggs left over from yesterday for breakfast, and found out the slate pot specially set aside at the entrance of the cave yesterday.
There are a total of three stone slabs, three are relatively large, the size is similar to the large iron pot that can be used with modern liquefied gas, two of the stone slabs have a deep arc in the center and a shallow one, and one is completely thin, it seems that this plate can be used to make a frying pan, and the other two bottoms are thicker, and they need to be ground deeper to be used to hold water to make a pot!
Pei Yao moved the deep curved stone slab to the edge of the pool, found a rough stone that was easy to hold, and then gradually expanded the spiral circle in the center of the pot and grinded.
While grinding the stone pot, Pei Yao pondered, yesterday during the day and night, I didn't hear the roar of a tiger or a wolf or any other beast at all, could it be that there are no large beasts in this forest?
It is very likely that even if there is, it should be deep in the mountains and forests!
Otherwise, with the small body of the original owner, the mountain forest itself is difficult to walk, eighty percent of them are lost and can't get out, and they don't know what they can eat, and they can't reach what they can eat, and they starve themselves to death!
Seeing that the stone pot was getting deeper and deeper, Pei Yao poured out the lime in the pot, cleaned the inside and outside of the stone pot with water, and then held the edge of the pot with her hand, the bottom of the pot was facing down, and smoothed the uneven bottom of the pot on a big stone by the pool.
In this way, the heating in the pot will be much more even, so far this finished stone pot is very similar to the iron pot used at home, although it is a little thick, it is considered a success!
I tried to fill the pot with water a few times, it was very handy and not particularly heavy.
Pei Yao remembered that yesterday at the foot of the mountain opposite the pond, found the yellow mud used to build houses and walls in the countryside, and when you have time, you can build a stove, now use a few stones to erect it and use it, a hundred wastes are waiting to be rebuilt!
Look at the sky, it is almost around 8 o'clock in the morning, Pei Yao is going to go around the mountains to see if she can find anything delicious, by the way, a few sets, the baby in the mountains, and catch pheasants and hares under the covers, almost all of them are necessary skills, just like when Pei Yao was young, she was naughty than a boy, and she was not so ladylike at all.
For example, using a homemade slingshot to shoot birds, catching pheasants and hares in the forest, and checking every day when the cover is down, there are harvests every three or five days.
It's like a little wild boar or something, Pei Yao has caught it with a trap! Her grandmother sighed: This girl is about to become a wild boy.
But there is no way to be poor, and the children of poor families are already in charge!
Pei Yao wears a middle coat and no jacket anymore, the weather is quite hot, even if it is cool in the woods, it is not a lot to wear a single layer of clothes.
Tie the straps at the neckline tightly to prevent insects from falling in, and tie the hem of the garment into the waistband with a belt. On his feet is a pair of high-waisted little boots, and finally he is adding a wooden stick tied with sharp stones, bringing the last eggs, and set off alive!
Pei Yao's first expedition was going to take a look at the bamboo forest in the east, because the south side of the col was a gentle slope mountain with a large area, but it seemed that the mountain was barren and full of useless shrubs and weeds.
Directly crossing into the bamboo forest, the ground is not as flat as in the TV series, and the bamboos are clearly and neatly cut one by one, but the more and more steep they go, overgrown with weeds. The bamboo is also a clump of bamboo, and some of the large clumps are tightly crowded, and there is no way to walk below, only a detour.
It seems that the wild bamboo forest that no one takes care of is not easy to walk.
While walking, in the place where there are pheasants, use thin vines to lay a cover, this late summer season pheasant food is a lot, even if you have the experience to find the place to find the place to put the cover, you have to try your luck, the snow in winter is much easier to catch. Cast a wide net café.
Slowly, the sun was about to rise overhead, and it felt like around 11 o'clock, Pei Yao bypassed the last clump of bamboo and found that she had reached the edge of the cliff.
Trembling and holding on to the bamboo to look down the cliff, I saw that the steep cliff was about a hundred zhang high, and there was a rushing river under the cliff, and the north cliff could not see the edge, and there seemed to be a bridge at the corner of the south cliff.
Pei Yao is excited, there is a bridge! It means that someone is leaving! Look at the direction of this cliff, the bridge is behind the southern slope of the mountain, well! Revisit!
It was almost noon, Pei Yao returned along the same road, while harvesting rattan, the rattan is thin, long and tough, ready to be used to weave baskets, and the rattan is tightened after drying the basket made with such rattan, which is light and durable!
By the way, I dug up two more fat bamboo shoots. When Pei Yao was pouting her ass and digging bamboo shoots, she heard a fluttering sound in a place under her previous set, she jumped up happily and caught a pheasant! A tiger leaped and found the dying hen-pheasant with her neck wrapped around her neck in the thick grass.
Hey! It's so easy to catch one, it seems that there are a lot of wild things in this forest! More small wild animals means fewer natural enemies, which is good news!
After collecting all his spoils for the morning, Pei Yao dragged a large bundle of rattan, a pheasant and two bamboo shoots, and more than 10 mushrooms, and returned victoriously!
