In the autumn months, the grass is firm. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the last month of autumn, even weeds that have just sprouted and are only an inch tall will produce grass seeds before the harsh winter arrives.

This is a phenomenon produced by the evolution of life for hundreds of millions of years, and now the grass seeds condensed by Baicao to continue life have become the life-saving food of the Qing clan's people.

Armed with ironwood swords and other weapons, Pulin and eight slaves protected more than 30 sturdy women, collecting all edible nuts, fruits, and mushrooms at the edge of the mountains and forests around the enclosed soil.

Most of the mushrooms in the mountains and forests are poisonous and dare not be collected casually, but pine nuts, hazelnuts and other nuts are safe and delicious, and they are very popular with women and children.

In addition, there are a large number of wild vegetables that can be collected and dried, all of which are edible ingredients, so don't be funny if you sell them for money or something.

Guihe and Wenbo, with ten other slaves and more than 30 women and children, excavated all the wild potato and cassava tubers that could be found inside and outside the enclosure.

The tubers, which were not liked by domestic animals in the past, have now become everyone's favorite food after a series of processing, slicing and drying, or grinding into flour.

The rest of the women, children and children, either too old, or with mutilated hands and feet, or a few years old who are not able to enter the mountains, are all left in the sealed soil to collect grass seeds in the wasteland.

In the autumn season, Bai Lu Zeze.

The seeds of the wild grass that have been subjected to frost and dew are full and evenly proportioned, and you can harvest a handful of seeds of different colors with a gentle brush, and you can feel the heavy life in the nurture of a small handful.

At this time, the Qing clan leaders, whether adults or children, knew the predicament everyone was facing, no one shouted that they were tired, even two or three-year-old children followed their mother to collect food.

However, grass seeds are not only eaten by humans, but also by birds and animals in the mountains and forests, which can quickly accumulate fat and help them survive the winter.

At this time, even if the dragon bird comes forward, it is difficult to completely expel the large flock of birds to rush for food, fortunately, these birds are not dangerous, but the women who collect grass seeds have a lot of hard work, they have to keep driving out the birds while collecting.

"If only we could get rid of these birds!"

At last the women and girls could not help but complain, and the daring wild birds, finding that the grass seeds in their baskets were more convenient to eat, began to snatch them up in large quantities.

"Cavalry attack, look at us!!"

Just as the women were sweating profusely at the flock of birds, suddenly there was a burst of children's cheers.

I saw a huge tortoise rushing over lazily, and a dozen naughty children of seven or eight years old were crowded on the wide tortoise shell, led by Lian Cang, who was only five years old.

And the weapon in their hands turned out to be a slingshot.

The children proudly waved their arms in all directions, imagining themselves as a cavalry army in the charge.

Lian Cang was obviously very dissatisfied with the tortoise's lack of work, so he used a wooden pole to lift a yellow fruit, and the tortoise's spirit came, and the speed instantly tripled.

"Rush, kill these birds!"

"I want my mother to add food at night!"

"Destroy this ecstasy!"

The children on the back of the tortoise screamed excitedly, and the tortoise seemed to be slow but actually rushed into the wild grass.

The huge body crushed and flattened the grass one person high, and a large flock of frightened birds quickly flew up, but soon landed dozens of steps away, continuing to calmly peck at the grass seeds.

The bear children, who thought they were mighty, suddenly felt insulted, and they pulled out their slingshots and shot them at the birds around them.

Their slingshots were not simple, they were made of elastic ox tendons and fine ironwood branches, and the round marbles polished by stone instantly wounded a few fat wild birds, rolling and wailing in the grass.

But no one bothered to pick up the wounded prey, and continued to scream and attack the birds frantically.

I have to admire how well these children's slingshots play, and it is no longer enough to describe their ability.

Because of the extreme density of wild birds, even a slingshot shoots several slingshots at the same time, and almost every slingshot can hit a wild bird.

After being pursued more than a dozen times in succession, the frightened birds lost hundreds of birds one after another, and they had to choose to keep a certain distance from people in fear.

Although the women and children are still a little dissatisfied, at least there will be no more arrogance of birds snatching grass seeds from people.

In less than a day, the group of children not only succeeded in driving out most of the wild birds, but also knocked down thousands of wild birds piled up like a hill.

Among them, there are many large gray geese, spotted birds and other birds that weigh more than a dozen pounds, looking at such a pile of meat, the little children drool.

"Mother, I want to eat braised pork!" A little boy of about two years old, with a fart curtain, said milkily, but his mother was obviously busy a few hundred paces away, and it was impossible to hear his chirping that was not much louder than a mosquito.

"Oh, take it!" Five-year-old Lian Cang is still young, but he looks quite atmospheric, and happily proposes a relatively large bird and hands it to the little fart who is constantly drooling, and the little fart looks at the wild pheasant weighing seven or eight pounds and is dumbfounded, he is too young to hold it.

"Ogura is amazing! If only it could be made into air-dried meat and stored for a longer time! ”

Qingyang saw such a bunch of wild birds in front of him, and he was also impressed by the group of little children in Lian Cang, and found that he didn't see Lian Po, so he asked, "Where did they go to your brother?" ”

Although Lian Cang likes to pretend to be a little adult on weekdays, he can't help but smile when he is praised by the lord: "Lord, brother, they went to the eastern hillside, and it seems that they want to dig up some grain!" These birds are going to my mother to deal with! ”

Qingyang was actually extremely surprised by the results of Lian Cang's group of dolls, after all, a group of five or six-year-old children, the oldest of whom was only seven or eight years old, could actually shoot down a gray goose of more than ten catties.

It's a pity that the birds have now fled to the surrounding mountains and forests around the Qing clan's fiefdom, and they don't dare to hunt and kill when they are afraid of the mountains and forests, otherwise so many birds can also make the Qing clan save a considerable part of the grain, and I don't know when the first winter snow will come.

Thinking about things in a mess, Qingyang soon came to a hillside on the edge of the mountain forest to the east.

This will Yu Haizheng take Pu Zhi and a young slave A total of three people are on duty at the entrance of the sealed land, and more than a dozen young servants such as Lian Po and Zhong Rui are almost there.

In addition, more than a dozen children of seven or eight-year-old servants who often watched Lian Po's training were also here to help.

Curiously looking at a young slave, skillfully using a bone shovel to dig a small rat hole, does he have to grab rations with rats?

Seeing the lord walking towards him, the young man felt that his whole body was full of strength.

Sui used to be a young slave, but after performing well in the reserve servant assessment, the lord had released him from his slave status.

He still remembers being hungry and crying in winter as a child, but there were several younger siblings in the family, and his emaciated father sighed and walked out of the cold shelter with Sui, who was less than seven years old, saying that he was going to find the most delicious food in the world.

He used a tattered rattan basket to buckle a hidden hole, and his father used a branch to dig a big hole, and that time not only caught several fat voles, but also was pleasantly surprised to find dozens of catties of grass seeds and corn from the rat hole.

I still remember my mother's expression full of joy that day, although the winter was particularly cold, and the heavy snow once covered the whole grass shed, but the porridge made from grass seeds, corn and some dried vegetables and dried fruits throughout the winter was really fragrant.

Now that the lord's hard-harvested grain has been burned, more vole burrows must be dug up to repay the lord.

Thinking of the vole soup that his father cooked in winter, Sui couldn't help but drool, and the lord of such a delicious thing must have liked it.

Qingyang didn't know what the young man in front of him was thinking, so he could still remain calm.

I have to say that the dozen or so teenagers in front of me usually catch voles, the difference is that the slave teenagers used to catch voles in order to get meat and food to survive in winter, while the teenagers of war soldiers and peasant families used to catch voles just for fun.

Now, they're all about getting more food.

Seeing the arrival of the lord, each teenager excitedly showed off his booty, and in just one morning these teenagers caught at least one hundred and thirty voles.

Qingyang felt disgusted when he saw so many voles, one weighed two or three catties, how much millet could fatten such a big one?

When he saw the large amount of grass seeds, dried fruits, and grains dug out of the rat's hole, the lord was furious and demanded the complete destruction of these corrupt things.

"These fucking field rats have ruined so much of our food? Isn't that a waste? The lord said to Lian Po in a hurry, "Wouldn't it be chilling if you don't kill all these rats!" ”

Lian Po patted his hands full of dirt and smiled: "Why should the lord be angry, if it weren't for these voles, we wouldn't be able to save this food!" Besides, even if all the voles in the enclosed soil are eradicated, will the voles within a radius of 100 miles be eradicated? ”

Qingyang was speechless, and then sighed to several young people around him: "Qiu Niang talks about aristocratic etiquette every day, and wants me to learn to be a qualified humble gentleman, but now the news that I am eating grass seeds with you is estimated to have spread throughout the entire Xing Kingdom!"

I don't know if the sickle that was sent to Beilin City at such a large cost can earn us enough food for a winter, if only Dr. Ye was still in Beilin! ”

Lian Po didn't say anything, but Zhong Rui smiled and said: "Lord, in fact, I think that this time I gave him a favor by offering a weapon to the monarch through Doctor Cheng." What's more, when Dr. Ye went to fight in Northern Xinjiang, isn't there still Mrs. Ye? There should be news in the next two days! ”
