Chapter 83, a rare delicacy
This scene made everyone stunned, and they wondered in their hearts when their father, father-in-law, and Zhang Da Scoop would do this.
However, Fang Xiaoyue didn't give them more room to think, made more than a dozen wooden shovels in one go, and then sat on the fallen leaves on the side and commanded them to dig holes.
No, even if this body recovers, it is only the body of a 56-year-old man.
Now that the soul has just been initially fused, it is not easy for him to be able to make some tools with his skills.
It's normal to be a little tired.
More than a dozen people couldn't get together to dig a hole, and after Fang Xiaoyue rested for a while, she found another hole and let the rest of the people dig it.
It didn't take long for the first hole to be dug to the deepest part.
A vole came out of another hole in a hurry, but was shot to death by Ding Sheng's quick hand with a wooden shovel.
But the real catch is the food that voles accumulate in the depths of the hole.
Although it was snowing heavily, it was actually autumn harvest season, and the voles had a lot of food in stock.
Chestnuts, walnuts, pine nuts, etc., which fall from the trees, there are also grass seeds, wild rice, etc.
Of course, due to its proximity to the 100,000 mountains, there are still many nuts.
Zhang Ping'an couldn't care about the cold at this time, took off his coat and spread it on the ground, and excitedly took out the food in the cave, and held three big handfuls.
In the following digging activities, such scenes often appeared.
When they went back, except for Fang Xiaoyue, all of them took off their coats and used them as wrapping cloths, bringing back a large amount of food and more than twenty voles.
Fang Xiaoyue estimated that the voles in this grove might have been wiped out by them.
Seeing that Fang Xiaoyue had brought back so much food after going out, no one looked at him without admiration and admiration.
No way, at this time, food is life and heaven.
Those who can bring them food will undoubtedly have new parents.
Huge piles of nuts and grass seeds were poured into the boiling iron pot after the skin was removed, and the voles did not escape the fate of peeling them into the pot.
When the fragrance wafted out of the pot again, the corners of everyone's mouths couldn't help but flow crystal saliva.
And when the meal was served, Fang Xiaoyue became the person in charge.
When fleeing, the person in charge represents an identity and status.
Only those with the most status, prestige and status among the fleeing crowds can play the role.
Because only in this way will everyone be convinced when it comes to eating.
Otherwise, if you have one more spoonful, I will have one less, and people will not suffer from poverty but from inequality, and they will not immediately fight.
Everyone lined up in front of the iron pot, and Fang Xiaoyue scooped food into their bowls one by one according to the young and strong, followed by women, and the old and young.
The shape of the food cooked after mixing nuts, wild vegetables, rat meat, and grass seeds is really flattering.
The taste is hard to describe, but for this group of refugees, the sweetness of various nuts mixed with the meaty aroma of rat meat is already the rarest delicacy.
Even Fang Xiaoyue couldn't help but use the power of the person in charge to put all the leftovers at the bottom of the pot into the bowl.
This meal is not enough for everyone, but at least it gives people the strength to continue on the road.
Fang Xiaoyue had no intention of staying here.
There are two reasons for this, one is that the grove has been swept away by him, and if you want to find food, you need to go farther, which is time-consuming and laborious.
The second is that he doesn't know if those Northern Moon Cavalry will catch up.
No way, Zhang Daxiao's memory was interrupted the moment he died, and as for what happened later, he didn't know.
The young man walked in front and back, and in the middle, women and children supported each other.
Fang Xiaoyue walked in the front as the person in charge, and he needed to use the ability of Pig Hum to warn the crowd or find food.
In addition, due to the escape, everyone did not take a bath at all during this time, and the smell on their bodies really made Fang Xiaoyue, who had opened the hum of the pig, unbearable.
If you go ahead, at least the smell won't be so strong.
It was noon, and the wind blowing in the Valley of the Howling Wind was not very strong, but it was also a little chilly on the body.
But Fang Xiaoyue knew that walking this valley couldn't be delayed until night, otherwise at night, the wind here would increase several times or more, and fifteen miles of road was enough to make people freeze and fall to the ground!
Three hours passed, and the fleeing crowd finally passed through the Valley of the Howling Wind and arrived at the 100,000 Great Mountain.
These 100,000 mountains can be seen from the name alone, and their scale is definitely not small.
To be precise, the 100,000 Mountains are a huge mountain area formed by the convergence of thirteen mountain ranges.
Fang Xiaoyue and the others only arrived at the edge of the 100,000 Great Mountain through the Howling Wind Valley.
But it was not covered with snow, and valleys appeared in front of them, and the ridges covered with green vegetation stretched into the distance, and finally converged to form a treacherous and complex terrain full of mountains and valleys.
"I won't leave today, let's rest for a while."
Fang Xiaoyue took the lead and sat on the grass next to her, and everyone also sat down to rest.
Going forward against the strong wind is indeed a very hard thing for them.
After resting for a while, Fang Xiaoyue divided the crowd into several teams, with women and children collecting firewood, and young and strong following him to collect food.
Compared to the groves outside Howling Wind, the vegetation here is undoubtedly much more lush, so there is naturally a lot more production.
Fang Xiaoyue only circled around, and led everyone to find chestnuts, hazelnuts, mushrooms and other foods, and even found some wild peppercorns, wild peppers and wild onions.
As for meat, there are three snakes, two rabbits, and more than a dozen voles.
This time he didn't have to dig a vole hole.
The food stored by voles can be eaten once in a while, and if they eat it at a time, he is really worried that everyone will accidentally contract some disease.
At this time of fleeing, it is not a comfortable thing to contract a disease, and it is almost equated with death.
As usual, the iron pot was set up, the bonfire was burned, and everyone gathered around the iron pot to warm up and wait for the aroma of food to waft up.
After dinner, Fang Xiaoyue walked around a few more times, and then found a bamboo forest.
It is not surprising that bamboo forests appear here, and the climate changes in these 100,000 mountains are varied, and many places are different, and all kinds of plants are also extremely lush.
For plants like bamboo, which are already very adaptable, there are not too many plants growing in the 100,000 mountains.
Go back and call a few people, take the only machete and cut a large bundle of bamboo, and after going back, shave off the bamboo branches and leaves, and then take an even middle section and sharpen one end.
A bamboo spear is freshly baked.
After Fang Xiaoyue stepped here, she always felt a little dangerous, in such a situation, arming everyone was the king.
