Chapter 66: Painstaking

"Dad, aren't we going straight to the Longan Tree?" Hearing that he could only walk around the neighborhood in the afternoon, doing boring work such as picking up branches and firewood, Ji Zhanpeng was a little reluctant, and looked at Ji Kuan with anticipation, trying to make him change his mind.

"To go to the longan tree, even if it takes two hours to make a trip, it takes four or five hours to go back and forth. Do you think we'll only go in the afternoon and still have time to stay there to pick longan? ”

Ji Kuan glared at Ji Zhanpeng: "Or do you want to stay at the Longan Tree overnight, not afraid of being taken away by wolves at night?" ”

Ji Zhanpeng touched the back of his head, and smirked a few times: "Hehe...... Go tomorrow, go tomorrow. ”

"Use your brain before you speak. Otherwise, you always open your mouth without going through your brain, and after a long time, I'm afraid that people will think that you are not smart enough. Chang Fengying glanced at Ji Zhanpeng and reprimanded him seriously.

"yes, I see." Ji Zhanpeng lowered his head to pick up the rice, and responded with the food in his mouth.

Ji Kuan glanced at him: "In the afternoon, you follow your mother and sister to collect firewood, I want to go around, dig a few more traps, and I don't have time to take you two." Anyway, we still have a lot of days in the mountains. If you two are obedient, we might have fish soup to drink in the evening. ”

"Okay, if you don't have any meat, you'll be fine." After feeling this mountain, he always heard Ji Kuan mention the fish, Ji Zhanpeng swallowed the food in his mouth, smashed his mouth and nodded reluctantly.

Their village is close to the fishing village, and fish are not too rare. In his heart, in fact, fish meat is strictly different from real meat. Of course, real meat tastes better.

But the fish is also meaty, and it's already very good compared to green vegetables and wild vegetables, isn't it?

"It's a pity that there is no tofu, otherwise it would be better to cook fish head tofu soup." Ji Zhanpeng said with regret.

"You know what? Why do you think I've been mentioning the fish here? Isn't it true that the fish on this side of the mountain are more delicious than those elsewhere? Hey, forget it, you don't necessarily believe it now, but you'll know after you eat it. ”

Ji Kuan squinted his eyes and recalled that after such a long time, he still had a feeling of mouthfulness when he thought of the fish soup and fish porridge here. I couldn't help but say again: "It is estimated that the water here is good, and the fish here are also very delicious." ”

Alas, what have you been struggling with all these years?

This is a place where grandfather himself has only led him here. Not only is the fish delicious, but other game is also easy to catch. But he didn't set foot in such a good place for so many years because of the awkwardness in his heart?

Ji Kuan's eyes fell on the broken clay jar that he had specially put aside, sighed secretly, and said to the others: "There is a lot of game around here, if you are lucky, you can't say that we can eat meat every day every day in the past few days." ”

"Eat meat every day?" Such a day that I didn't even dare to think about before can fall on my family? Ji Zhanpeng stared at Ji Kuan with bright eyes, and his saliva flowed down directly.

"Hehe--"

Seeing Ji Zhanpeng's gluttony, everyone else let out a good-natured laugh, but this time no one said anything about him.

Who doesn't crave meat?

Since Ji Kuan can say so, and thinking that this neighborhood is so far away from the village, it must be quite easy to catch pheasants and hares.

With this confidence, everyone else instantly felt empowered again.

What none of them knew was that everyone could still be so energetic after waking up early in the morning and walking so far on the mountain road. In fact, a large part of the reason is due to the fact that Ji Beibei, who rushed to fill the water, mixed the spiritual spring water of the space into the water that everyone drank when he was resting by the stream halfway.

Not to mention, now that everyone has walked such a long way, after arriving at the destination and cleaning up and cooking, they still can maintain their energy and physical strength, Ji Beibei inexplicably has a strange satisfaction of doing good deeds without leaving a name.

She thought to herself, it seems that the effect of the upgraded space spirit spring water is indeed good. It's so much better than when it wasn't upgraded in the past.

After eating, everyone walked a while according to Ji Kuan's plan, went outside to cut a lot of hay and came back, and after the patio was covered with a lot of surplus places that could be spread out and dried. Except for Ji Beibei, who was still full of energy, everyone else felt that they were a little tired and couldn't hold on.

Although a few people had replenished the spiritual spring water without knowing it, after all, everyone had slept late since yesterday, and they had woken up very early in the morning.

So when we finally finished the work that should be done temporarily, everyone wrapped themselves in blankets, and slept in the dark on the haystacks that had not yet been dried.

Ji Beibei is not sleepy.

But when she saw that everyone was going to take a nap, she also wrapped herself in a blanket and lay down and closed her eyes, and she didn't get up quietly until everyone was asleep.

After getting up, she went directly outside to take a closer look at the surroundings with her divine sense, and then walked farther and collected a lot of firewood that could be burned in the space, such as hay and dead branches and leaves. She didn't walk back until she felt that it was almost there.

During this period, she saw that there were a lot of wild things around, so she naturally would not let go.

He collected a lot of pheasants and hares into the space, and kept them in captivity in a specially circled place in the courtyard of the space.

After thinking about it, I was afraid that if I had collected the pheasants and hares in this neighborhood before, Ji Kuan would find nothing. Ji Beibei then took two more from the space, one was broken by her, and the other was a pheasant whose wings were broken by her. Directly thrown into the trap that Ji Kuan mentioned before, the road to the waterhole near here is quite deep, and it can be seen that it has been abandoned for a long time.

Looking at the two pheasants whose bloody smell had been covered by mud at the wound, Ji Beibei looked at the deep abandoned trap in front of him, and sprinkled a small half bowl of spiritual spring water into it on a whim-

Seeing the two pheasants struggling in the trap and began to move hard to the place where they sprinkled the spiritual spring water, Ji Beibei stood and watched with satisfaction for a while, and then rushed to the waterhole that Ji Kuan said.

Since the adoptive father said that the water in this waterhole is delicious, then simply make it more delicious~ put a lot of fish and shrimp into the waterhole, and Ji Beibei injected a lot of spiritual spring water into it before stopping.

After all this painstaking work, she left satisfied.

On the way back, a straw rope was pulled out of a tree hole and had long been rotten, but a pair of iron wheels, although rusty, were still a good little cart, and a new rope was put on it.

Use the small cart you find to carry firewood to the cave in disguise. However, for fear of waking up the people sleeping inside, Ji Beibei only transported the firewood to the outermost cave.

It was only pulled four or five times with a small cart, and each trip was supplemented with a number of firewood taken directly from the space. It wasn't until he looked at the time and felt that the other people in the cave were almost time to wake up, that Ji Beibei began to pull the small cart loaded with firewood into the cave inside.

"When did you get up first?"
