Chapter 3 The Great Harvest

In the memories of the original owner of this body, eggs were a very rare thing in the village, and ordinary people were reluctant to eat them at all, but took most of them to the town and sold them for money.

Thinking of the egg in his mind, Wang Xiao couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Most of the Wang family's eggs were sold to subsidize the family, and the rest of the eggs went into the mouth of the guy named Tiedan.

Why? Of course, it's because of patriarchy!

In this poor and remote country, there is a huge gap between men and women in terms of status, take Wang Xiao as an example, he never knew what eggs were like when he was so big, let alone eat pork.

And the iron egg is different, very different.

This guy is a lone seedling of the Wang family, and the whole family can't wait to worship him as an ancestor.

Wang Xiao shook his head, no longer thinking about those unhappy things, but shifted his attention to Li Baoping, who said that he was his fiancé.

Sending charcoal in the snow is precious, not to mention that the person who gave Wang Xiao those life-saving food is still her fiancé in this body.

After thinking about it, Wang Xiao still felt that it was not good to keep this state all the time, and finally decided to go up the back mountain to try to see if he could find something to eat.

It would be best if the animals could be caught, so that they could sell their prey for money, and then make up for the favor they owed Li Baoping.

Li Baoping helped himself out of twenty copper plates, which must be a lot of money for the Li family, which is not very wealthy.

Li Baoping was admitted to Maocai (i.e., Xiucai) a few years ago, coupled with his strong scholarly anger, so he was called Li Xiaofuzi by the residents of the village, and even Mr. praised him for his ability and political integrity, and he will become a great weapon in the future.

It's just that Li Baoping's life is not so smooth.

A few years ago, his father accidentally fell from a height while working, and since then he has broken his legs and left a very serious disease.

Li Baoping's mother was a medicine jar, and she died not long after that incident, leaving Li Baoping and his younger brother who had just become sensible to rely on each other for their lives.

Li Baoping likes to read very much, but he can't watch his younger brother and father starve to death, so he has no choice but to give up his studies and go hunting in the back mountains for a living.

Li Baoping, who was successfully admitted to Maocai, can be called the glory of his ancestors, but his family's economic situation is too poor that girls from all over the country are unwilling to marry her.

But then again, if Li Baoping's family is still well-off, where can the daughter-in-law of the Li family get Wang Xiao's turn to do it?

Getting back to the point, Wang Xiao went up the back mountain with a bamboo basket on his back early in the morning.

The wild vegetables and fruits at the foot of the mountain were all looted by the residents of the village early, leaving empty potholes that made people look quite helpless.

Wang Xiao took a deep breath, opened his legs and continued to walk up the mountain.

She encouraged herself in her heart as she walked: "It's okay, this is just the periphery, and if you walk inside, there will definitely be good things, and there will be a lot of wild vegetables at the worst, right?"

Well, that's what it looks like - even if you can't catch your prey today, you can still drink a bowl of hot wild vegetable soup that night. ”

As the saying goes: there is no endless road to heaven, Wang Xiao now suddenly feels that this sentence is true.

Wang Xiao walked a distance up the mountain, and saw a mass of things that were tightly packed together not far away, and when he got closer, he realized that it was the kind of mushroom that could be eaten.

With a gray-white head and a round body, just looking at it makes me very appetizing.

Wang Xiao almost subconsciously began to drool: "If you take these things back and fry them in a pot on high heat, the taste will definitely be similar to pork!" ”

Speaking of meat, Wang Xiao only felt that his mouth was a little bland.

Counting on his fingers, Wang Xiao didn't have long to come to this Lan Township, and it was basically the same as surviving in the wild.

The others are bearable, but it's very uncomfortable if you can't eat meat in your mouth, you know, Wang Xiao used rice with braised pork before, but now he suddenly can't eat it, where can he stand it?

"How can I get this......"

Wang Xiao's face was full of sadness, he raised his hand and rubbed his chin and frowned and pondered - he didn't have a primitive bow and arrow, nor a numbing dagger or anything like that, how could he catch his prey?

In desperation, she could only use the stupidest and most primitive method - to be a trap.

However, even the most primitive traps are not so simple to complete, and just digging a pit almost exhausts her little body.

Wang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and got up again to pick up some leaves around and cover the trap, looking down at the bare trap, Wang Xiao gritted his teeth, took out a small piece of pork from the bamboo basket with a trembling hand and put it on the top of the trap.

I don't know if this will work, but it's better than doing nothing.

After doing this, Wang Xiao looked up and found that it was almost noon.

The trees in the back hill are verdant, and the dense foliage blocks out the sunlight overhead, and only a few rays of light shine on the ground.

Wang Xiao found a clean place to sit down, took out a small piece of rice balls made of millet and nibbled on it.

"This is already the deepest part of the outer part of the back mountain, and if you go inside, you won't even have a road......

Wang Xiao frowned and pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "Forget it, let's stop here, I came here today to try my luck." ”

After eating, Wang Xiao got up and walked around the neighborhood for a while, but he didn't expect that this time he would gain a lot.

Pecans, which are only enjoyed by the wealthy in town, are also on the higher side.

In addition, there are many bitter herbs and wild fruits and potatoes that are not yet ripe.

Wang Xiao was like a money fan seeing a swaying money jar, and he couldn't close his mouth when he smiled, and while throwing things into the bamboo basket, he still muttered: "Hehe, don't be hungry now, good, good!" ”

The most surprising thing is that Wang Xiao actually saw wild astragalus!

In the era when Wang Xiao lived, things like astragalus could only be found in the inaccessible mountains, but he didn't expect such a precious thing to be grabbed in the mountains behind the village, which made Wang Xiao have to sigh - this is really a good place to make a fortune!

Before you know it, the sky has gradually darkened.

Wang Xiao turned back to the place where the trap had been set before, and found that the trap had been triggered, and two pheasants were lying at the bottom of the pit.

It is estimated that these two little guys had a fight before, not to mention the chicken feathers scattered all over the ground, and the two little guys were also tired and exhausted, even if they saw Wang Xiao appear, they only flapped their legs a few times, and did not struggle too much.
