Chapter 4: Catching Fish

Sort the food you find today, and then put aside what you can store and what you can't store; For example, eggs can be stored on one side, bracken can be stored on one side, and mushrooms and wild vegetables can not be stored on the other side. She also spread a layer of hay under the eggs, so that it would not be easy to be broken, but those leafy wild vegetables were not easy to eat now, and she was going to dry them all and put them away, and when she found suitable utensils, she would take them out and eat them. If you want to eat bracken, you can cook it in the fire, and now the main ones you eat are the wild eggs and peaches from the trees.

After packing them up, he put two more eggs in the fire and roasted them, and because the fire was about to be extinguished after going out for too long, he added two more firewood and went to the door to pull the weeds. Today, I pulled to the left from the place I had plucked yesterday, and when I counted the time, I went to the river and washed my hands, and then went back to the cave and ate the baked eggs. After resting for a while, I continued to pull weeds, and then when I was tired, I rested for a while and then continued to pull, and so on and so on for two or three hours. Looking at the almost dark sky, I went to the peach tree to pick a few ripe peaches, and then went to the river to wash my hands, face and peaches. After eating two peaches, she sat on the rocks by the river to rest, looking at the road that stepped out and the fish in the water, listening to the frogs in the woods and the cicadas, somehow Yang Xue's worries disappeared all of a sudden, maybe they were buried, maybe they disappeared, at least now her heart is quiet.

Looking at this endless forest, the carefree little fish swimming in the river and the crystal clear water, Yang Xue couldn't help but sigh again: "This ancient environment is really good, although she used to live in the countryside when she was a child, but she has never seen such a big fish in the river, and even if there is, it is from someone else's pond." And this dense and flourishing tree, which has only been seen in the mountains before, but I don't know if this is a deep mountain now? Thinking of this, he sighed again, and now it's better to worry about the future life. Stand up with the rest of the peaches and walk back.

When I got back to the cave, it was almost dark, so I added a few sticks of firewood to the fire and burned an egg. Looking at the mushrooms that had been put aside, I went to the river in the dark to wash them, and on the way, I broke a handful of branches and went back. In the light of the fire, he picked two relatively straight branches, sharpened them with a dagger, and then put on the mushrooms and set them aside to roast. I guess the egg is almost cooked, so I gouge it out and let it cool, waiting to eat it with the mushrooms.

After eating, she cleaned up and added some firewood to sleep, but tonight she put some soil on the fire to press, not too much. She was also in a trance, remembering that this would make the fire burn less quickly and make it easier to preserve the fire. She wasn't sure, so she put a small amount of soil. Since she had burned all the holes in the beginning, there were no mosquitoes in it at the moment, except for a few mosquitoes.

It's been the third day since I got here, and just like yesterday, I still watched the fire and firewood to burn the eggs, and after eating, I took the leaves and wild vegetables I found yesterday to the river to wash them, and drank some water after washing them by the river. He also went and picked some peaches, washed them, and brought them back to the cave with wild herbs, and put them on the ground on a straw mat. So he took a few branches and built a simple drying rack and hung it at the entrance of the cave to clean up. Then she continued her weed-pulling business.

Today she continued to pull from the place she pulled yesterday, but she changed her method and pulled the grass from the marginal area, which was about a meter wide. Today's speed is much faster than yesterday's, although she still pulls up non-stop, but because she planned the route, she pulled a long distance today. I didn't pick up any more wild eggs today, but I still found a lot of wild vegetables that could be eaten, but many of them were old. But she put them away anyway, and now she belongs to the food that belongs to the little food, and the more she eats, the better.

The busyness of the past two days has made Yang Xue dirty all over, both her clothes and her body. So she wanted to take off the clothes on her body and wash it, and by the way, she would scrub her body again, so she finished work a little earlier than yesterday. She first pulled out all the grass in the river where she used it often, and saw a few frogs as she pulled the weeds. Since she used to catch frogs with her brother at home when she was a child in her previous life, she also caught two frogs and put them on the ground by the river with a sturdy bale.

Since she had muddied the river by pulling weeds, she sat on the rocks by the river and waited for the water to clear. In fact, she didn't wait long for the river to be clear, she first took off her clothes and washed them and hung them on the trees by the river; Then I scrubbed my body, the water temperature on the mountain was not particularly cold in the afternoon, but it was still quite cool to use it to wipe my body. Yang Xue quickly wiped her body clean and put on her underwear, although it was wet, she still put it on, and then took the clothes that she had hung on the tree before and went back to the cave.

When she returned to the cave, she hung her unworn clothes on the small bush at the entrance of the cave, and then increased the fire to roast her wet clothes. After a long time of drying clothes, I started to get busy with today's dinner, roasting frogs and bracken. After eating, it was not yet dark, so she went to collect some firewood and branches, and first built a rack for drying clothes with a few branches that were in good condition. The shelves are the same as those used to dry wild vegetables, but they are much higher than the shelves used to dry wild vegetables. After putting away the outside clothes in the hole to dry, I went to sleep.

The next few days were spent pulling weeds and looking for food. On this day, the grass on the left edge of the open ground in front of the cave was pulled, and the wild vegetables I found were dried and a lot of wild eggs were picked up. Seeing that it was still early, she thought about changing the clothes on her body and washing them by the way, and then took a shower and washed her hair, the clothes on her body had been worn for a long time, and her body was scrubbed last time, and her head had not been washed once.

Take the tunic and dress that was placed in the cave, go to the river, and wash the bath and hair before starting to wash the clothes. Seeing the fish in the water, Yang Xue wanted to eat meat, she hadn't eaten a meal of meat since she came here for more than ten days, and she took 10,000 steps back to say, not to mention eating meat, she didn't even eat a little oil and water. Every day is eggs, mushrooms and peaches, at most there are only two frogs caught last time, and they have no taste, so far she has not drunk a sip of hot water, all drinking water from the river. So she picked up her skirt and silk trousers and tied them up and went into the water to catch fish. After catching for a long time, he caught two palm-sized small fish, looking at the fish in his hand, Yang Xue said in his heart: "Didn't those time-traveling novels say that the ancient fish were stupid and easy to catch?" Why did it take me so long to catch two fish so small? Sure enough, the novel is not credible! Forget it, so be it, if you don't have enough, eat something else. Then she went ashore and began to process the fish, and since she had the dagger with her, she didn't have to go back to get it.
