Chapter Seventy-Six: Wild Plums

"Major General, are we going to set up a tent here?" At this time, Wu Da came to ask that although Xin Yue had taught them a lot recently, there were some things that were difficult to learn for a while, especially in the choice of address, and it was still difficult to choose a good camping place without a long period of experience. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Well, it's in the woods, but I'll look around for the exact location." Then Xin Yue took Wu Da and the others along the sparse trees.

When he turned abruptly through a relatively dense forest, there was an open field in front of him, and there were no tall trees, and even the trees were only two or three years old.

"Haha, it's really good, I didn't expect to be able to find such a good place, Wuda, you check around to see if there are any traces of beast activity, if not, we will set up a tent here tonight." Xin Yue said happily as he looked at this open field.

"Yes, Major General."

Xin Yue himself also observed this open field, in an irregular circle, surrounded by trees, but there was not a tall tree inside, Xin Yue thought, not many years ago, someone must have been here, but they didn't know what to do here.

"Major General, come and see." At this time, Wu Da's voice came suddenly, and listening to the excitement in his voice, he should have found something to be happy about.

A few steps to Wuda's side, Xin Yue followed Wuda's gaze and looked forward, and immediately his eyes widened, Xin Yue really wanted to jump with joy at this moment.

In front of Xin Yue and the others, there was a small plum tree, which was full of plums that were almost ripe. The plum trees are obviously artificially planted, and the distance between the plum trees is about three meters, and looking at its growth, there are obvious traces of artificial planting.

Xin Yue turned his head to look at this open land again, maybe this was once a field, someone should have opened up a piece of land in this forest and planted these plum trees, as for other places, maybe it was to grow food, but because time had passed for a long time, no one took care of it, and it was gradually occupied by thorns and flowers.

Maybe just six or seven years ago, a family here secretly opened up a piece of land here to grow food and support their family because they were hiding from outside taxes or something. Or maybe it's a high-ranking person who is tired of seeing the glitz outside, so he lives in seclusion here, maybe the house is built nearby.

"Wuda, you take a few people to look around the sparsely populated area and see if you can find a house to build." Xin Yue didn't expect that the house would allow everyone to do without setting up a tent tonight, after all, even if it was really broken, he just wanted to verify his idea, so he only asked Xu Chu to look for it nearby, and if he couldn't find it, he would come back.

Xin Yue took the rest of the people to sort out a flat piece of land for setting up a simple tent.

Simple tents don't need to be too big, just one or two people can rest in them. Xin Yue asked someone to cut the branches the thickness of the baby's small hands, cut off the leaves, and then tied one end with a rope that had been prepared in advance, and then erected the whole bundle of branches, and separated the branches that were not tied to the other end one by one, so that a simple and stable tent support could be made. Don't look like it's easy to do, but it's very stable, even if the wind can't blow, even Xin Yue's whole body won't collapse at all.

After that, cover the entire tent with small branches with leaves to prevent rain, dew or even flying insects from entering the tent. Of course, the bottom of the tent should also be covered with a thick layer of leaves to avoid the invasion of the ground or insects and ants to make people sick or injured, and then a simple but practical tent is set up.

Such a tent can accommodate about two people, or three children.

When Xin Yue led everyone to set up nearly twenty tents, Wuda and them came back, and Xin Yue hurriedly greeted them, "How is it?" Wu Da nodded and shook his head, "It is true that there are a few wooden houses, but I didn't expect them to be dilapidated." ”

Xin Yue patted Wu Da on the shoulder and said, "It's nothing, you see that this place has become like this, do you think the house can still be preserved intact?" Then Xin Yue pointed to the plum trees he had found earlier and said, "Go and pluck those plums, and then go to the stream where you washed them, and fetch some water by the way." ”

"Yes!" Wu Da was ordered to leave, but looking at his expression, he must be blaming the house he found that was dilapidated and uninhabitable! Xin Yue shook his head, Wu Da is just too honest.

Xin Yue originally planned to continue to follow the others to set up tents, but before they arrived first, Guo Jia and they came back.

"Brother Xin Yue, look, I caught a lot of game today!" Guo Jia said proudly, if he didn't know, he would definitely think that Guo Jia really made a lot of effort in it, but Xin Yue knew that Guo Jia followed Xu Chu and them to hunt, but it was just a matter of moving his mouth, and if he wanted his little arms and legs to hunt, I am afraid it would be good not to let the prey hit him.

Of course, sometimes it's not useless, just like this morning, Guo Jia's ability to use intelligent design to catch pheasants is an example, because Xu Chu's archery skills are not very high, and it is not very effective in the face of highly alert animals like pheasants.

"Oh! Is it? Then I'm going to see what you're doing. For Xin Yue to say "you" instead of "you", Guo Jia could only pout, knowing that he couldn't deceive the eldest brother with a little bit of money, so he could only guide Xin Yue to the place of the other party's prey in frustration.

Credibility looks, the area is a lot, but most of them are some small things such as hares, maybe because they are about to go out of the mountains, it is difficult to meet large animals such as goats and wild deer that were caught a few days ago, but these are not bad, in fact, although everyone hunts every day, but the staple food is still prepared corn, etc., after all, because of the daily rush, not only is there not much time for hunting, but also every place is a strange place, Xin Yue and his party have so many people, it is naturally impossible to rely on these game to be able to satisfy hunger.

"Okay, you can allow Big Brother to take someone to prepare today's meal, and I will continue to go back and take everyone to set up the tent as soon as possible." Xin Yue commanded Guo Jia.

"I'm going to set up a tent with Brother Xin Yue!"

"Alright then, whatever you want." Anyway, if you want Guo Jia to cook, in fact, he is also cheating and playing tricks most of the time, "Then you go and tell Brother Xu to come over later." With that, Xin Yue hurried back to the flat ground and continued to set up a tent.

Due to the division of labor, some people cut down trees, some people sorted out branches, one person spread leaves for the tent, and Xin Yue took people to build the skeleton of the tent, so the speed of doing it was still very fast, and after a while, a few more were tied.

At this time, Guo Jia jumped in front of Xin Yue, "Wow! Brother Xin Yue, what are you doing, why are you so fast? As soon as Xin Yue heard it, he knew that this kid must have come over a long time ago and was just watching from the sidelines, so he said angrily: "Hurry up and come over to help!" As for the rest, Xin Yue is too lazy to explain, mainly because once he explains, he can't finish it in a few words.

didn't get an answer, which made Guo Jia a little frustrated, but he quickly threw himself into the game of setting up a tent. It's just that......

"Fengxiao, be serious, you don't see it......"

"It's another one, and the heads aren't even aligned, which will cause the tent to be tied up unstable......"

……

……

After eating, everyone chatted together for a while, and then gradually went back to their tents to sleep, and after a day of walking in the mountains and forests, everyone was very tired. Xin Yue, on the other hand, sat cross-legged in front of his tent and put a piece of barbecue he left on a cloth not far in front of him.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and at this time, there were a few "rustling" sounds in Xin Yue's ears, and Xin Yue said secretly: "Sure enough, it's here!" ”

After a while, I saw a white shadow flashing in the woods, if it was an ordinary person, it would be difficult to find its figure in this dense forest, but Xin Yue's eyes could see at night, and they were very keen, the white shadow naturally couldn't escape Xin Yue's eyes, and he was waiting for its arrival, how could he not notice.

After a long while, it seemed that Xin Yue was not in danger, and the white shadow fell not far in front of Xin Yue, staring closely at Xin Yue and the barbecue on the cloth.

Xin Yue looked at the white figure in front of him, his whole body was snow-white and shiny, and there was a thumb-thick fiery red fluff pattern on all four legs, that's right, it was the strange animal that snatched Guo Jia's chicken leg during the day.
