Chapter VI Collection

Early the next morning, Pei Yao picked up the charcoal fire that had been extinguished last night, exposed the spark in the middle, grabbed a handful of dried velvet grass and put it on it, blew the fire a few times and then raised it, then boiled a pot of hot water, and roasted a half-dried fish for breakfast.

Seeing that the sky was still dark, he carried the rattan basket on his back and followed the route that was still easy to walk visually, and began to climb the hillside in the direction of the cliff head stone bridge he saw yesterday.

This hill is overgrown with shrubs and long thatch, and along the way, I picked up a lot of wild eggs in the grass, and occasionally a rabbit popped up, a pheasant flew out, and sometimes a small flower snake could be seen!

It turned out that this hillside looked barren, but I didn't expect that there were a lot of small animals hidden in it, and it seems that before nature was destroyed by humans, any life has a place to live freely.

With the spirit of plucking the feathers of the geese, Pei Yao didn't let go of everything she could eat, what mountain carrots, what bellflowers, wild ginger, and some miscellaneous wild vegetables.

Mosquito repellent grass, snake extermination, and wild chrysanthemums are all dug up by roots and ready to be planted in the yard.

She also found some medicinal herbs, well, this can be there! Extremely hilarious to scrape these pure natural foods, and unconsciously climbed to the top of the mountain to the destination, Pei Yao found that her waist was about to break!

Standing on the top of the mountain, Pei Yao saw that the back of the mountain was facing south, and the back of the mountain was not a cliff, but a steep mountain, and it was impossible to walk with Ben.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a fairly smooth dirt road, the dirt road is from west to east, and the east side is blocked by the mountainside.

The great river that surrounds the bottom of the cliff rushes all the way through the stone bridge, and disappears behind the not-so-dense grove on the opposite side of the road.

After all, if you want to live comfortably, there must be something that needs to be produced by human civilization, such as needlework, cloth, iron tools, and the focus is on salt! Pei Yao had some resentful thoughts.

But on second thought, the west side of the col that I explored yesterday was a cliff, and on the opposite side of the river was a tumbling mountain.

And the gentle slope mountain on the south side of the col climbed today, although no people were found, but the road and bridge were found, which means that you can find a place with people along the road.

And the cliff to the north is high and far away, so you can conclude that the exit of the col is on the east side, that is, you wake up and walk in the opposite direction to the pool!

After this figured out, Pei Yao became happy, and with a way out, she was not in a hurry, stocking up and tidying up her 'home', after all, even if she found people, she still needed money to exchange for necessities.

I am poor and white, and at worst, I have to prepare some game for exchange, and I can't empty the gloves of the white wolf!

Pei Yao turned around and looked at the gentle slope of the mountain where she came up, and the long thatch swayed along the wind and waves, such a beautiful scenery, Pei Yao thought of it, mowing the grass and weaving straw mats!

The roots of this long thatch are not very deep, and they are not slowly cut with a stone knife, but all of them are plucked, and then bundled and dragged down the mountain.

The roots of the grass were burned with fire, spread out on the rocks and dried, and then the flowers and plants dug in the mountains were planted around the caves, and some wild vegetables were peeled and peeled, and dried in the sun.

In the past few days, Pei Yao has been stockpiling firewood, dry thatch, baskets, baskets, and baskets. There are more sets, large and small catch more than 10 pheasants and hares, if you can't finish eating, you can directly peel the skin and soak through the special herbal water to dry, and then hang it in the hole in a ventilated place for easy storage, so that the dried meat after making it is very tender when it is stewed, and it is also delicious to keep the soup in winter.

There was more and more thatch dried in the cave, so Pei Yao made up a straw curtain, which she couldn't drag on, no matter how busy she was, she had to weave it, because the bed she made with big leaves was really easy to rot.

The main thing is that you can't move when you sleep, otherwise you will rub the leaves everywhere, and when you get up in the morning these days, you almost find that they are buried under the leaves, and there are a lot of them under the bed!

Pei Yao is very good at weaving rattan grasses, and when she first went out to work in modern times, she worked in a handicraft factory for almost two years, and then the raw materials were less competitive and the factory went out of business, so she went to a small restaurant to learn the stir-frying.

Think about modern life, in fact, it is very difficult for people with no education and no special skills to mix, just rely on the 1,800 yuan a month of part-time work, and you can ensure that you will not starve to death. If you want to get rich, you either rely on your life or by dreaming!

The slender fingers flew up and down, and the thatch writhed quickly from side to side between the fingers like a dance! In the past few days, Pei Yao has been working non-stop, collecting and making, and the blisters on her hands have broken and grown. Now the little hands, palms and fingers are calluses.

It took two days to weave two two-square-meter straw mats and a thatched pillow with a beautiful pattern.

A special weaving method is used, and each mat is three layers thick of a normal straw curtain. Spread a layer on top of the original leaves, some leaves in the middle, and finally a layer of grass mats, and the bed can be considered ready.

In the evening, Pei Yao cooked a few sweet potatoes over a charcoal fire to make dinner and set aside for tomorrow's breakfast.

This sweet potato was also found on that gently sloping mountain, and now the sweet potato has not yet had time to be excavated, and it will be large and pink and sweet by the end of autumn. Pei Yao only dug up a sweet potato on a vine to taste it, and removed the weeds from the rest, and protected it with a simple fence with branches, and harvested it in autumn.
