After breakfast, Gu Anning went out of the house with the child on her back.
She didn't let the two sisters Qiuyue and Qiuling follow, so she let them stay at home and guard the door.
Leaving her home, she walked down the path towards the mountain, and as she passed through the fields, she saw a large number of villagers harvesting rice.
When the villagers saw Gu Anning holding the child, they also greeted her warmly.
In response to their warm greetings, Gu Anning kept a smile on her face, and nodded at them politely, responding to their words.
Through the fields, she walked on the mountain path.
Listening to the birdsong around her, she felt that it was more pleasant to her ears, and her walking steps became more brisk.
There is a veil of mystery on the mountain, and she will always surprise herself unconsciously, so that she will also like this mountain.
Entering the mountains and forests, Gu Anning saw several traps. These traps were set up by the village hunters on the hill in order to catch some wild animals and sell them in the town in exchange for some money to subsidize the family.
Two of these traps have been triggered, and prey is expected to be in them.
Gu Anning went to take a look and found that the two traps were all a hare.
These hares are already dying, and it is estimated that they have been falling into them for a short time.
Seeing this, Gu Anning didn't take them away, or let them go.
After all, the hare in this trap was caught by others, and it was used to support the family, so she was not so cruel to destroy.
Turning to leave, Gu Anning walked deeper into the mountain.
The more she entered the inside, the more lush the grass became, Gu Anning not only had to pay attention to the movement under her feet, but also the surrounding plants to see if there was anything she needed.
Entering the depths, Gu Anning picked several precious herbs, the most precious of which was a vintage He Shou Wu.
Judging by my own knowledge of it, this He Shou Wu is estimated to be more than 130 years old.
It is not surprising that there are century-old medicinal materials in the depths of the mountains and forests, because there are many fierce beasts in the depths, and those who collect medicinal herbs or others dare not go deep into them, so these medicinal materials have not been picked and have been preserved.
This 100-year-old He Shou is a perennial winding vine with thick roots, oblong, black-brown, and lignified in the lower part.
The thick black root can be used as medicine, which can calm the nerves, nourish blood, activate the nerves, detoxify, and eliminate carbuncles.
In addition, it can also nourish essence and blood, black hair, strengthen muscles and bones, and nourish liver and kidneys, which is rare and valuable.
After a big scrape, Gu Anning came to the edge of the waterhole he had found earlier.
When she arrived at the edge of the pond, Gu Anning sat on the stone and rested for a while, looking at the fat fish that were not afraid of people and were pecking at the aquatic plants, her heart was itching.
After resting for a while, Gu Anning took out the child and fed her a little drink.
After feeding him enough to drink and sleep, Gu Anning didn't dare to let him stay in the forest for long, for fear that the mosquitoes in the forest would bite him.
Putting the child on the bed in the space, thinking of the numb and spicy boiled fish fillet, Gu Anning took out a machete and sharpened a piece of bamboo, took off her shoes and socks and stepped into the water.
The center of the waterhole is very deep, and the water level at the edge is still very shallow, so as long as you walk on the edge, it is still very safe.
Coming to the edge of a stone that was submerged in the pool, feeling the coolness of the pool, she reached out and quickly inserted a fat grass carp and threw it on the shore.
She still wanted to insert one more, and suddenly she felt a pain in her foot, as if she was caught in something.
She put down the bamboo in her hand and bent down to see what was holding her.
But when she saw what was clinging to her feet, her face showed surprise.
This is a river crab that looks very plump.
In case it ran away, Gu Anning reached out and quickly pinched it.
This river crab is not very heavy, but it is also about 200 grams, but he can put it in the space to raise it and fatten him.
Pinching the river crab in her hand, Gu Anning happily put it into the space and put it in the pond where the river mussels are raised.
This river crab has a high nutritional value, and it tastes very tender and delicious, so I naturally can't let it go.
With motivation, she is full of energy.
So, she searched for the cracks in the stones and the aquatic plants by the pool, and even the fish that were not afraid of people paid no attention to them.
However, she had only been searching for more than two quarters of an hour when she heard a sound in the grass not far away.
And it didn't seem like a small animal could make the noise, so she quickly collected the fish on the shore into the space, and climbed up to the tall and thick tree, hiding it in the dense foliage.
Through the gaps in the foliage, she carefully observed the situation on the shore.
I saw that she had just climbed the tree and hid it, and the sound not far away gradually approached, and finally, three wild wolves appeared on the edge of the waterhole.
Wolves are social animals, and now that there are three wolves here, the wolves must not be far from them.
Gu Anning didn't think that she had the skills to deal with wolves, so she only obediently hid in a tree.
The three wolves that appeared on the edge of the waterhole had blood on their hairs and mouths, as if they had just eaten their prey.
When the three wild wolves came to the waterhole and wanted to drink water, their developed sense of smell immediately noticed the unusual smell in the air, and the three wolves immediately became vigilant.
Alert, they began to sniff and search around the perimeter of the waterhole.
Gu Anning, who was hiding in the dense branches, watched them sniff and search back and forth, and she was not worried. I can be on a tall and sturdy tree, and there is a space, so naturally I don't have to worry about my safety.
After searching back and forth and finding nothing or danger, they approached the edge of the waterhole and drank water.
Looking at the three wolves drinking water, Gu Anning couldn't help but smile lightly in her heart, she didn't expect these wolves to be quite vigilant.
When they finished drinking the water and left, Gu Anning didn't immediately climb down the tree.
The beasts that have lived in the mountains and forests for so long are not low, and since they have been vigilant just now, they will definitely come back to check it out.
Sure enough, less than two quarters of an hour later, the three wolves appeared on the edge of the pond with several wolves. After noticing that there was nothing out of the ordinary, they left in groups.
After confirming that they were not coming back, Gu Anning climbed down the tree.
I was picking up river crabs just now, but I didn't expect a wolf pack to appear.
Now that they're gone, it's time to go and continue looking for the crabs.
……………………
Seeing that the time was approaching noon, Gu Anning went ashore to wipe the water stains on her feet and put on her shoes and socks.
After searching for half an hour just now, Gu Anning found dozens of nearly a hundred river crabs, which made her very happy.
There are so many treasures in the mountains and forests.
