Chapter 110: Dragon Seeking Station
Before the tarantula got up to fight back, I passed it and immediately lit the dead wood, and it was buried under the fire, and there were wild cooking utensils around, indicating that there were people here who had used it in the wild, but there was no trace of people, there was only one possibility, it was devoured by the spider in a nest somewhere, since it can eat people, it must not be left.
When I turned around, I saw that Yun Wen had rescued the wild horse, it was not big, it stood up straight to my waist, chestnut skin, and a dark brown mane, I still don't know if it is a pocket horse that can only be so big, or if it is still in its infancy, this has to see its gnashing teeth to judge.
However, it is more likely that the foal is clumsy, and its limbs are longer than its torso, so it should still be developing.
Yun Wen should have specially taken some hay and tender grass and let it eat, the pony chewed vigilantly, and the way his mouth swayed from side to side looked a little funny, Yun Wen tried to touch its mane, and the horse did not resist, and gave it food, and the little guy also looked trusting, looking like a good deception.
"Zhou Bo, are you okay? What about spiders? Yun Wen saw me coming over and hurriedly asked.
"Burned, but there may be a spider's nest around here, so we'll have to get down the mountain quickly." I said.
"Okay, can I have a reluctant request?" Yun Wen asked.
When I looked at her eyes, I immediately understood what she meant, and I thought that it was because of me that so many of her fox friends had lost their lives in vain, and one of her wishes was also due.
"You mean to help ponies find their home, don't you? Okay, when I get down the hill, I'll try to see it if I have the chance. I said.
"Well, great, you're so nice! Sanfu, thank you brother. Yun Wen said with a smile.
"Three-pronged? What's the name? I laughed too.
"I just gave it a dog day, and now it's the dog days between the small summer and the big heat, so it's called the dog days, and it's a bit like the three blessings, symbolizing that we all have blessings, do you say?" Yun Wen asked.
"Yes, the meaning is good, and it is easy to listen to and remember. Then let's go, a large number of spiders will come in a while, and we won't be able to handle it. I said.
"Okay, but it's injured in the leg, and it can't go too quickly, Zhou Bo, can you be a little more considerate." Yun Wen grabbed my sleeve and said coquettishly with her watery eyes.
She rarely asks me to do things, and if she asks for something rare, how can she not grant it?
I coughed, my vanity fully satisfied, and said, "One little thing, then let's go." â
"You're so nice!"
After some consideration, I still took the broken hanging pot away, and then took Yunwen and Sanfu to walk down the mountain together, all the way to the ramp, it is easy to walk, just beware of another tarantula attack, there are many dead animals near the mountain wall that have been wrapped in spider silk, some large and some small, it is really terrifying, but we did not touch them spider food, so it will not be easy to attack.
And I always light the torches, and if they come, I will set them all on fire, and I will not be afraid of them.
All the way down the slope to the bottom of the mountain, in front of which is a forest, which is the other end of the dangerous forest area, and I saw a lot of wild deer grazing in the dense forest, that peaceful and quiet appearance.
And what surprised me was that there was a wooden fence not far ahead, and there was an ancient marching tent-like place in it, and not only that, but also pay attention to pomp, and see that there was also a wooden board standing outside, engraved with four traditional characters: "čŚéžčťčŠ".
"Looking for a dragon military plane? It seems that they were used as a transit station here. Yun Wen analyzed.
"The horses have a serious leg injury, so let's rest here and treat it somewhat, and then find the horses to send them back, and I'll go find some grass and water so that it can quench its thirst and eat something, how about it?" I asked.
"Of course, when you're looking for something in a while, I'll cook for you, let's eat enough and then think about the future itinerary, anyway, it's not far to go down the mountain to Claw Dragon Mountain, take your time." Yun Wen said.
We entered this post station, the fence set up is used to prevent the beasts outside, two meters high, there are wooden thorns, no matter how big the beast can not turn over, push the door and enter, which made me and Yun Wen both startled, only to see that this place is not simple, there is a well and a wooden barrel to draw water, there is a waterwheel behind him, it should have been used here to irrigate the fertile land, but now the fertile land is no more, there are a lot of wild grass.
This is the outer courtyard, and the inner room, pushing open the door of the inner room, it is even more surprising to Yun Wen and me, a total of two floors, there are stairs on the left, three or four dining tables on the first floor, and the right side is the cooking place, there is an obvious stove cauldron, which can be used to cook porridge and make a large pot of rice.
However, this pot has been more than 500 years, and there is no rust removal thing, I am afraid that it will not be able to be brushed out and cannot be used, so it is better to bring this stainless steel modern hanging pot, but my pot has broken a hole, and the two are half a catty. There is also a large stone mill not far from the stove, which is much better than what I do, and the grinding of teeth is a good craft.
It's just that there is moss on the stone mill, and it has to be treated before it is used.
In addition, there are no bowls and chopsticks here, Yun Wen also told me that in ancient times, the soldiers did not have too good conditions, so they might use helmets to make bowls and fold two branches as chopsticks. Therefore, the dragon hunting camp in the Jiajing period should also use the above methods.
There are still a lot of wheat stalks growing outside, presumably the origin of the military food and flatbread of the Dragon Hunt, but after such a long time, there should be no authentic wheat outside now, only wild wheat.
"It's all work, there is water and grass, I don't have to go out to look for it." I said.
"Not only that, there is a vacant manger outside, the reins, you can wash it for a while and give it directly to the three dogs, as for the food, those wild wheat are also called wild oats, and the nutrients are also very high, which can be used to make tea, wheat bran and wheat straw can be eaten by the three dogs, and after hulling, you can grind or make steamed buns, and you can also bake at high temperatures, make cereal porridge and drink, there are many ways to eat." Yun Wen said.
I smiled, this dragon-seeking camp has thought of it for future generations.
The well water has not been muddy for many years, it is not as clear and edible as the mountain spring water flowing down from the backyard waterwheel, so we only use it to scrub things, we cleaned the stone trough used by the horse, poured it into the mountain spring water, put some tender grass and hay and wheat stalks, let the dog eat and drink, and we prepared our own food.
Yun Wen was in charge of washing the wheat with a bucket, and I went upstairs to look around, and there were two or three rooms on it, all equipped with wooden beds, so I opened the windows to drive away the mildew, and prepared to sleep at night.
Then I will pick up the fork near the tarantula's nest on the hill slope, the military kettle will be cleaned, I have heard some old methods, using eggs to descale, although I don't know the reason, but I am still willing to try, so I went out to climb the tree and found some bird eggs, put them in it, so that boiling twice can achieve the purpose of descaling.
The last trouble is this broken pot, just when I feel that I don't know what to do, I suddenly remembered that the stove, if the iron pot is taken away, the gap is built high, isn't it can be used as a high-temperature furnace for iron smelting? Once iron can be smelted, it can be remodeled, and that place can be refilled.
If the pot can be used, you can make all kinds of food, and the food for the march to the Claw Dragon Mountain will no longer be worried, and if there is water and food, you will not be afraid of long journeys.
