Chapter 20: Into the Mountains Again
Dinner was handled by Yu Guixiang, because she bought brown rice, so she cooked porridge in the evening.
Compared to the porridge where you couldn't see rice in the past, this time, you can scoop out a lot of brown rice in the porridge.
Then there are the wild boar and mushrooms that Xia Qiqi got back, a small piece of wild boar meat and a little mushroom mixed together to cook a soup.
A family of five, no, counting Yu Guixiang's stomach that has not yet been born, it should be a family of six, and it is sweet to eat.
I was full of food and drink, and my body was much warmer.
Flowers and flowers, don't shout that their bodies hurt, they are very sleepy.
After Yu Guixiang waited for the two daughters to sleep, she called Xia Duofu to go to the kang together.
The Xia family's four-room room is the most poor, a rotten house, where several people live, and there is not even a compartment.
The stove room is even smaller, and even the second person who stands feels embarrassed.
The matter of drinking Lazar for a big snack is all solved in the sleeping room.
In the house, there is the smell of urine buckets all year round.
But everyone seems to be used to it.
Xia Qiqi has been here for a few days, and he really can't stand that kind of lifestyle.
I dug a pit temporarily, found a few wooden boards, and built a thatched house, just on the other side of the house, a room away from the kitchen.
Although it was very cold at night, there was no smell in the bedroom!
Another day passed, Xia Qiqi scalded the pile of clothes he bought from the rich people in the town, scalded them with boiling water, scrubbed them desperately with soap, and then exposed them to the sun.
It was also the easiest way to disinfect, and by the third day, the clothes were finally ready to wear.
But the clothes were uneven, big and small.
It was necessary to change the size again, and it was necessary to re-dismantle the cloth, but fortunately, those clothes, large and small, were combined, and they also made a set of clothes for the whole family.
Although it is not as warm as the padded jacket, it finally does not feel leaky.
When Xia Qiqi earns some more money, he will go to the town to buy some cotton and make a few cotton clothes, at least, so that the whole family will not be cold in the cold winter.
There are still a few clothes left, the fabric is particularly soft, Xia Qiqi has seen it, it should be silk.
In this era, linen clothes were the second, followed by cotton, and the most valuable were silk and brocade.
But any handkerchief and sachet made of silk and brocade, a little better, can even withstand several feet of cotton cloth.
Yu Guixiang originally wanted to sew those clothes into everyone's clothes together to keep them warm.
But was stopped by Xia Qiqi, Xia Qiqi asked her to make sachets, and tried her best to make sachets.
After two days, she went to the town to sell sugar gourds, so she took these things with her to sell.
As long as it is sold, their four-room life will be better!
After eating the mushrooms at home, the vegetable garden of Lao Xia's family was not allowed to be touched by the four rooms, and Xia Qiqi had to go to the mountains to find wild vegetables and mushrooms to satisfy his hunger.
Of course, the most important thing is to pick some wild apples.
The ones she picked before were not enough to make sugar gourds, plus Yu Guixiang had a body, so she liked to eat that thing, eating one for a while, eating one for a while, and eating it clean.
Early in the morning, Xia Qiqi carried the basket on his back and went up the mountain with a firewood knife.
This time, before going out, she had warned herself that she could not go anywhere in the wild forest except the wild apple tree.
If you meet that uncivilized werewolf again, I'm afraid there will be no chance to come back!
Along the way, Xia Qiqi was cautious.
The defense is nothing more than the werewolf.
However, after a few days, there have been quite a few changes in the mountains.
There were no patches of pine hair on the ground before, but now when I look at it again, it is still covered with a full layer, stepping on it, crunching, crunching.
Xia Qiqi slowly marched in the direction of the apple tree, and after a while, he found the apple tree.
The wild apples on the tree have fallen quite a bit, compared to the last time I came.
Xia Qiqi knew that if he didn't pick this apple quickly, he was afraid that it would be gone soon.
On the tree, Xia Qiqi kept picking wild apples.
Whatever she could pick, she poked into her pocket.
After a while, a basket was full of wild apples.
Xia Qiqi regretted a little, she should have brought a burlap bag, at least after picking the apples, she could gather some other things.
Otherwise, she would have to pick apples this time.
After resting for a while, Xia Qiqi found some rattan grass again, and prepared to weave two more bamboo baskets, using bamboo baskets to hold wild vegetables and mushrooms.
To tell the truth, these skills of weaving baskets and making clothes were all learned by Xia Qiqi when he went to the wild in his last life.
The world in the wild, no more than in the city, can solve everything with money.
In the wild, everything is on its own.
Sometimes, you may be left with a Swiss Army knife.
But you must rely on that saber to survive until help comes, or find a way out!
Otherwise, there is only a dead end!
Modern people's life is like a pool of stagnant water, and everything is immutable.
After a long time, people become numb and lose hope in life.
This is also the reason why Xia Qiqi often asks people to go on expeditions.
Take a trip to the mountains and come back, she will have more insights into life and life!
It's just a pity that this interest brought her happiness and cost her her life.
Xia Qiqi was distracted, and when she came back to her senses, she didn't know when there was a pure white fox in front of her.
"Huh~" The little fox jumped and jumped at Xia Qiqi, and the fox's tail was raised to the sky.
Xia Qiqi immediately remembered that it was the little white fox she let go of in the werewolf cave.
"Little thing! Why are you here? ”
Xia Qiqi stretched out her hand, and the little fox jumped into her arms obediently.
Its head kept rubbing on Xia Qiqi's chest, and it was a coquettish child.
"I forgot, foxes live in the mountains, and it's normal for you to be here!"
Xia Qiqi said.
Suddenly, she whispered to the little fox, "That...... Have you ever seen a werewolf? Catch that ...... yours."
As soon as Xia Qiqi said the words, the little fox was so frightened that he drilled into her arms.
He looked terrified.
The little fox is afraid, and Xia Qiqi is also afraid.
She looked around vigilantly, it didn't matter if she didn't look at it, she always felt that someone was staring at her.
The hairs all over my body stood on end.
Xia Qiqi picked up the little fox, carried the back basket full of apples, and ran down the mountain violently.
In fact, Xia Qiqi's intuition is not an illusion.
The werewolf was indeed nearby, but she hadn't been spotted yet.
If he found out, he would definitely catch her and go to the cave.
After running wildly for a while, Xia Qiqi almost fell into a dog eating.
Just now, where she stopped, there were some mustard greens.
Xia Qiqi gritted his teeth and decided to stop and get some mustard greens before leaving!
