Chapter 7 Resistance
Dilapidated and dilapidated houses, everything is a symbol of dilapidation.
This is Zhang Tao's first impression when she sees the place where she is about to spend the night, and the TV series are not all lies, but also have a factual basis.
Homeless children are too miserable, this is Zhang Tao's second thought, she finally understands why some people go bankrupt to do public welfare, when poverty and helplessness are unobstructed in front of them, people have no resistance at all.
Zhang Tao spent two days getting acquainted with Xunyang City, she had many ways to support herself and improve her life, but she was stuck in "everything is difficult at the beginning".
No money, no tools, no connections...... Coupled with his own bean sprouts high body, it's too tough.
"Zhang Tao, why don't we go to the mountains and have a look?"
In the past two days, Li Chengshou and Xiaoman have been walking around Xunyang City with Zhang Tao, and occasionally meet well-wishers who will give them some money and food.
Adhering to the most important principle of life, no one thinks this is so embarrassing, everyone is a good man who can bend and stretch.
Li Chengshou is a child who grew up in the mountains, and he can't remember the way home, but he can't change his feelings for the mountains, and in his thoughts, there are too many delicious things in the mountains that can be eaten.
"yes, how did I forget that there are still mountains!"
Zhang Tao slapped his thigh fiercely, and his IQ seemed to have dropped after crossing over.
Since they don't have the first pot of gold to do business now, let's save money first and save the first pot of gold.
"Let's go, let's go into the mountain now."
Outside Xunyang City is the continuous mountain range, but the people of Xunyang City live a relatively rich life, there are few people who go to the mountains to hunt for a living, and only occasionally there are hunters in the mountains who come to the city to exchange some rice, flour, grain and oil.
The three of them walked for an hour to a mountain on the edge of Xunyang City, in fact, this mountain is not far from Xunyang City, but the three children have limited physical strength, and they feel a lot farther away.
The mountain is not very high, it is really not worth mentioning in the continuous mountains, according to the combat effectiveness of the three people, Zhang Tao did not dare to go deep into the mountains.
Generally speaking, there are precious herbs and plants in this continuous mountain range, and of course, there are fierce beasts that you don't usually see, and you can't do it for the sake of your life.
Li Chengshou had long been thinking about wanting to go into the mountains to have a look, so he had already inquired about the situation of the mountain closest to Xunyang City with the aunts and uncles who sold vegetables and meat in Xunyang City in advance.
On the way, he carefully said it to Zhang Tao and Xiaoman.
"Aunt Li said that there are tigers, bears, blind bears, and wolves in this deep mountain, but they are all in the mountain and rarely go down the mountain.
"Let's go together for a while, don't go into the inaccessible mountains, so that we won't encounter those ferocious animals."
"But when walking, you should also be careful, some insects and flowers in the mountains are poisonous, and the more beautiful they are, the more dangerous they are."
When Li Chengshou said this, he deliberately glanced at Zhang Tao several times, Zhang Tao understood that he was worried that he would run away disobediently, so he tilted his head and looked at Li Chengshou with a smile and said: "Don't worry, I won't run around, I will follow you wherever you go." ”
What a joke, give her a hundred dares, she doesn't dare to toss in the deep mountains where she knows nothing.
Although I have gone to the mountains with my travelers to explore dangers in the past and learned some survival skills in the wild, tigers, bears, blind people, and wolves? What are you kidding, she can't handle any of them, okay?
If it weren't for the fact that she could understand the environment she was in as soon as possible and as much as possible, and to solve the basic problem of food and clothing, she would not have agreed to Li Chengshou's opinion of going to the mountain to have a look.
Hearing Zhang Tao say this, Li Chengshou's face softened a lot, Xiaoman he was not worried, he was timid and naturally did not dare to run around, he continued, "In the past, I would go into the mountains with my family to pick some wild vegetables, wild fruits, catch a rabbit or something, and if I was lucky, I could exchange a lot of money for picking mushrooms." ”
"Oh?" Speaking of money, Zhang Tao was pleasantly surprised, "Can rabbits and pheasants also pay back?" ”
"You can sell it in a restaurant, my rabbit can be exchanged for thirty copper plates, and I don't know where I am in Xunyang City."
"Thirty copper plates?"
Zhang Tao, who was originally excited, lost his enthusiasm all of a sudden, what can thirty copper plates do, if this is in modern times, a hare will cost at least two or three hundred yuan.
"That's a lot."
Xiao Man, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly answered, and Zhang Tao had hope in his heart when he heard this.
"Is thirty copper plates a lot?"
I asked a little cautiously, there was really no way, Zhang Tao remembered that when she made rouge for Liu Yunfei, a box of rouge cost several taels of silver.
"Well," Xiao Man nodded, and continued with his fingers, "Five copper plates for a catty of white rice, eight copper plates for a catty of meat, and two copper plates for a foot of flower cloth......
Zhang Tao felt that her whole cognition was wrong, didn't the TV series say that a bun costs five copper plates? Isn't it a matter of dozens of taels of silver for a meal at every turn? What kind of magical era did you travel to?
The three of them entered the mountain while talking, and the surrounding flowers and trees grew luxuriantly, and in summer and autumn, there were many plants and animals on the mountain, and the green everywhere showed vigorous growth.
Within a few minutes, Zhang Tao saw a pheasant flying in front of her, which caught her off guard. After relieving yourself, you can faintly hear the sound of pheasants crowing not far away, and the birds flying among the trees.
"Can you catch a pheasant?"
For the pheasant Zhang Tao can only stay at the level of understanding, it is too difficult for her to catch, she only knows that she learned the method of buttoning birds in the snow in Mr. Lu Xun's article, but she has also practiced, she can't catch it at all, the sparrow can't catch the method, she will definitely not get the stage to catch the pheasant, except for the loss of face at all.
Li Chengshou looked around, swept the surrounding environment, especially carefully when looking at the green grass.
"I'll try it, if I find a rabbit and tell me, I'm better at catching rabbits."
In the past, Li Chengshou used to catch pheasants with cages or nets, but now with his empty hands, he is quite bottomless.
However, the pheasant is their current hope, and there is no reason to let it go, so Li Chengshou tiptoed towards the place where the pheasant flew up just now.
The range of activities of pheasants is generally not too far from their nests, this season is the time for pheasants to breed, if you can touch pheasant cubs or mountain eggs is also a kind of harvest.
Xiao Man saw that there were wild vegetables three meters away, so he walked over and dug up wild vegetables with small branches and put them in his clothes.
Zhang Tao stood aside and didn't make a sound, and he didn't know what he should do, so he stood quietly and watched Li Chengshou and Xiaoman busy working.
"Zhang Tao, come here."
Sure enough, as Li Chengshou guessed, there were seven or eight mountain eggs in the pheasant nest, and he looked up and wanted to call two people over, but when he looked up, he saw Zhang Tao standing there stunned and watching, so he directly beckoned Zhang Tao to come over.
Mountain eggs are much smaller than ordinary domestic eggs, but the nutrients in them are much richer than domestic eggs, especially the calcium content is four times that of domestic eggs, as well as rich in glutamate and catvianine, which have a very good effect on improving immunity.
Seeing the mountain egg Zhang Tao's mind, this paragraph appeared unconsciously, there is no way that the anchor has been doing it for a long time, and the first thing that comes to mind when he sees something is the selling point.
It just so happens that they are young and weak, and no matter how small the mountain egg is, it is also an egg.
Zhang Tao carefully put the eight mountain eggs into the small back basket, thinking that each of the three of them would have one, and the rest would be distributed to the other children.
"Don't move."
Li Chengshou stretched out his hand to hold Zhang Tao, his eyes stared straight ahead, Zhang Tao fixed his eyes and saw that there was a round, unusually fat rabbit squatting there, staring at them motionlessly with straight eyes.
What to do?
Zhang Tao didn't dare to move, glanced at Li Chengshou, and signaled.
Li Chengshou motioned for Zhang Tao not to move, and he moved slowly and silently in the other direction.
The rabbit still looked at Zhang Tao in a daze, as if he didn't care much about Li Chengshou, who had removed his sight.
Li Chengshou took off his coat, saw that the rabbit didn't look at him, and quickly grabbed his clothes and pounced on the rabbit, the stupid rabbit couldn't escape, and was covered and flattened by Li Chengshou with clothes.
Zhang Tao couldn't help but cover her eyes, Li Chengshou's trick of catching rabbits was too spicy, she thought that his skills in catching rabbits were so clever, but the result was to hang himself to make a dog gnaw mud.
However, the person who can catch the rabbit is the best person.
Li Chengshou casually pulled a few sturdy grasses from his side, skillfully tied the rabbit's legs, and then tied the rabbit with grass, and the stupid rabbit couldn't run anymore.
"There should be wild vegetables around here, maybe there are still fungi, bring more back to improve the food for everyone."
Xiaoman dug up a lot of wild vegetables, and his clothes couldn't cover them, so he had to take them and put them in Li Chengshou's back basket.
"Do you know wild plants?"
The words were asked by Li Chengshou to Zhang Tao, in fact, Xiaoman had the same question as him, Zhang Tao is indeed smart, assertive, and knows a lot of things, but since she entered the mountain, she really doesn't behave like a person who has entered the mountain, no wonder they feel like this.
"I should know, even if I don't know, do you tell me that you know each other?"
Zhang Tao is a little weak-hearted, she used to follow her travelers into the mountains, all the food was prepared, and a few people dared to eat wild things casually, even if they had bought wild vegetables in the supermarket and eaten wild vegetables in restaurants before, she was not sure of the actual place of origin.
Besides, I haven't seen the dishes I know here, and I don't know if there are any of them she knows in this time and space and dynasty.
Her answer made Li Chengshou and Xiaoman not surprised at all, completely expected, Xiaoman took Zhang Tao to know a few wild vegetables, and Zhang Tao really didn't know any of them.
