Chapter 17 Spring, it slipped away

On the ninety-eighth day of Liu Ci's arrival in the other world, the white color that covered the forest had completely faded, and the grass that had accumulated a whole winter energy scrambled to emerge from the earth, competing with the branches of the trees that sprouted new shoots and pulled young leaves.

Spring in the forest is coming.

Liu Ci, who was trapped in the cave for a month, was skinny, and after recuperation, his cheeks were plump and ruddy, and he returned to his previous fair and lovely appearance, and he looked no different from when he first arrived in the other world.

Only careful people will find that Liu Ci seems to have grown taller, the skin on her red cheeks feels much rougher to the touch, and more importantly, her hands that do not touch the spring water, she has to make a fire to cook, and hunt for firewood, which is worn into calluses.

The biggest change is her eyes, which used to leak between the opening and closing of her eyes, and have been polished into vigilant and determined, like a wild and difficult to train leopard. Only when Liu Ci occasionally gives himself a holiday, does not look for food, does not vomit, and does not practice physical arts, can he get a glimpse of the deeply hidden "wanton behavior".

Liu Ci has changed a lot.

As she became more familiar with her range of activities and read through the ancient books, food was no longer the primary problem that bothered her. Many things that I didn't dare to touch before have been processed and processed to be ingredients. For example, insects that eat tree branches, roasted and fried in oil, are all delicious high-protein foods; The buds of the trees in spring are broken off and chewed directly in the mouth. Some of the weeds that emerge from the ground after the snow melts are edible wild vegetables; And on the branches of trees with bird calls, as long as you are willing to go up the tree, you can always find some bird eggs from time to time......

She spends all her energy on vomiting and practicing physical skills, and when spring comes, when Liu Ci's foot injury finally heals and she is able to jump alive, she decides to shift her focus to finding plantable species in recent days.

Insisting on practicing physical arts, the effect is obvious, she can now do many difficult movements, she also feels light when walking, her physical toughness is very good, and her strength has increased more than three times, which should have reached the second level of physical skills of the federal standard. The three-month physical technique was level two, ten times faster than before, Liu Ci suspected that it was because of the simultaneous exhalation of qi training, along with the crossing, while she obtained the cultivation inheritance, the root bone also underwent earth-shaking changes. In two years at most, she will be able to reach the highest peak before the crossing, the sixth level of physical skills!

You must know that she was not yet thirteen at that time, and she only passed the sixth-level physical arts test at the age of eighteen before the crossing.

When you reach the sixth level of physical arts, it is not only the physical fitness function that will change, but also some of the more lethal martial arts will be able to be used. Before he really drew the talisman, Liu Ci didn't dare to ignore the life-saving martial arts. Speaking of cultivation and drawing talismans, the reason why Liu Ci was anxious to find edible plants was that he absorbed the magic elements through the technique of spitting, and the aura transformed by the Chaos Lotus filled the air of the entire lotus pond, and the white mist was dense, just used to water the vines, and transplanted some wild vegetables, which was too wasteful in Liu Ci's opinion.

She had only drunk wild vegetable soup for a few days, and she had already faintly noticed that there was a faint qi that seemed to have no way through the meridians, Liu Ci desperately wanted to catch it, but unfortunately the amount was too small and dispersed too quickly, which made her very helpless.

At the end of the day, there is still too little aura.

Wild vegetables multiply very quickly, but people can't eat wild vegetables every day. Liu Ci wanted to find plants that could be planted in large quantities and kept for cultivation, and staple foods such as rice and wheat best met the requirements, but unfortunately the hope was too slim.

Since the time when the silver wolf chased the beasts in winter, Liu Ci had never met the monsters since she went out again, if it weren't for the wolf howling from time to time on the moonlit night, she would have wondered if the silver wolf had moved with the monsters. It's a good thing that she didn't meet Warcraft, and she didn't have the time to investigate the reason, anyway, when Warcraft stood in front of her, she only had to flee for her life, and she wished she hadn't been able to meet Warcraft.

As for ordinary beasts, small rabbits and pheasants, Liu Ci's skills in getting under the sleeve are becoming more and more neat, and she has never lacked meat since the beginning of spring!

The weather warmed up, and the bulky dogskin cape was finally able to be removed. After wearing it for a winter, after the snow buried the blisters, the dog's hair has fallen out of shape, and it looks very shabby. Liu Ci is slowly accumulating rabbit skins, and is ready to make a rabbit skin coat when it is cold this year, the kind of real coat that even wraps his ankles.

The hot spring cave is too far away, and Liu Ci is looking forward to discovering a second potato plant in the forest, and the fast-growing tuber plant is the staple crop she is seeking.

Reiki, she needs three meals a day without interruption, an endless stream of aura!

Liu Ci began to wander around the forest all day, but even the pepper seedlings and wild onions were found, but there was still no trace of potato potatoes. She didn't know that tubers were also loved by wild boars, and when they found them, they often didn't even save the tubers with vines.

Just when Liu Ci had eaten enough of the wild vegetable soup and wanted to venture back to the hot spring cave to retrieve the potato seeds, she tried to chase a rabbit to a higher ground with her feet and found a surprise.

The sections are distinct, the straight and green trunk, the slender leaves are shaken by the spring breeze, the big one is as thick as the mouth of the bowl, and the youngest one has just arched a head from the ground, it is a bamboo forest!

It's not a slender spotted bamboo, it's a sturdy bamboo, the raw material for making yellow table paper.

Liu Cixi was so happy that she hadn't seen the shadow of the bamboo forest for three months, and thought that there was no such thing in the forest, but when she was disappointed, she happened to meet it, where could she care about chasing any rabbit. I originally wanted to dig the bamboo back, planed the roots to see, there are many bamboo bags under the bamboo roots, and bamboo shoots will emerge from the bamboo bags in the future, as long as it grows to this year's Dragon Boat Festival, it is a new bamboo that meets the conditions for papermaking.

Liu Ci did not touch the bamboo that had become an adult, only picked the place where the bamboo shoots were estimated to come out, cut off the bamboo on it, dug up the bamboo roots with soil, and searched the bamboo forest within two days. She plans to take a long time, bamboo shoots more than once a year, in addition to papermaking, hard watering even pond water, and the bamboo shoots that emerge in the future are a kind of spiritual food. Adult bamboo only dragged one back, and chose to cut it at the bamboo joint, which is a complete set of bamboo cups, bamboo bowls, and bamboo chopsticks.

Often wandering around the forest, Liu Ci also paid attention to collecting the common and useful medicinal materials mentioned in the "Qi Min Yao Shu".

For example, "Arborvitae leaves" are the leaves of a tree called "Arborvitae", with small scale-like thin leaves. And the processing method is also simple, pick off the leaves of Arborvitae, pick up impurities, knead and remove stems, and dry the ash to enter the medicine.

When the snow melted, Liu Ci also left a message about the nearby environment, and no suspected dumb bones were found. In her selfish heart, she would rather be a dumb person alive, and she could still convince herself without seeing the bones.

It's just that when he can't guarantee a safe life, Liu Ci no longer wants to raise a little pet.

Two days ago, I caught a female rabbit with cubs, and she raised it after a while. This time it's not a flood of sympathy, the wild vegetables watered by the lotus pond water grow too lush, and it's not bad to feed a litter of rabbits. Because the purpose is to eat, in addition to feeding Liu Ci never to see the female rabbit, extremely lonely people are the easiest to put their feelings into the living creatures around them, and when they are mature, they can't be slaughtered and caught blind.

In addition to the lack of salt, the forest is rich in products, and many ingredients Liu Ci has collected. The specifications of her meals have been upgraded from simple boiled plain water to cooking, and the female cook, who used to only eat, has now developed the skill of making soup. The game is delicious, roasted, boiled and fried, and Liu Ci begins to miss the most basic "saltiness" of the five flavors, but can you get salt in the forest? Liu Ci expressed skepticism.

As the weather warmed up day by day, the vicinity of the tree hole where Liu Ci lived had completely changed.

Vines, such as mountain grapes and mountain loofahs, are densely wound along the shelves that Liu Ci has built for them. The mountain grapes have begun to bloom in clusters of small white flowers, because this year is the first year, the fruit is not very abundant, Liu Ci later replanted a few more plants, and the harvest is enough for her to eat her teeth.

Mountain loofahs are thicker and shorter than artificially grown loofah vines, which shortens the growth cycle and causes them to begin to bear fruit in late spring, with tender green loofahs hidden among the vines and unfinished yellow flowers on their tails.

There are too many bamboo roots that are moved back for a while, and the bamboo shoots are too dense to affect the nutrition of Hsinchu in the future.

Liu Ci picked two tender loofahs with dried bamboo shoots, and added rabbit meat to cook soup, the taste is refreshing, and the aftertaste is long.

The vegetable plot is divided into small depressions and small squares, most of which are wild vegetable varieties, which look neat and fresh after planning to be replanted, and finally not so cold.

Chili peppers and green onion ginger count as spices and come into their own, and wild chili peppers work greatly. Liu Ci is an outlier in the Liu family, she prefers to come the other way around if others don't eat it, but the chili pepper, the Liu family doesn't love it, Liu Ci doesn't dare to be a maverick in order to love the snow skin like a treasure, and now she doesn't even have skin care products, and she has to taste the chili pepper even more.

After reading through the farming chapter, Liu Ci realized how stupid his behavior was when he ordered seeds. In fact, many vines, including grapes and sweet potato vines, can be propagated by cuttings and seedling pressing, cutting off budding branches and vines, burying one end of the cut in the soil, as long as it is properly managed, nine out of ten branches will survive. For most fruit trees, after selecting the mother plant, the branches and leaves of the mother plant are sawed off and only a trunk is left, and new branches are grafted on the mother plant.

From seed sowing to fruit? Who has that patience...... Liu Ci burst into tears, with the cheat in hand, it is not difficult to farm, but if you want to really farm well, it is far more complicated than a variety of maintenance steps.

The captured female rabbit gave birth to eight rabbits, and seven survived, and the main ingredient of the dried rabbit soup with loofah bamboo shoots was raised by Liu Ci himself. If you catch another male rabbit and come back, a pair of rabbits can breed several litters a year, and Liu Ci can't eat much alone, so he is not ready to expand the scale of breeding for the time being.

No matter what, stumbling, vegetables, seasonings and fruits, Liu Ci is trying to plant.

She may be a layman who follows the textbook, but no one can deny that she is serious about farming.

Every day without stopping to breathe and practice qi, Chaos Lotus creates enough aura, Liu Ci planted things seriously, ate aura crops with a purpose, and finally ushered in the "harvest" before the Dragon Boat Festival.

This night is the moon and the stars are sparse, and it is the one hundred and eighty-three days that Liu Ci has come to the other world. In late spring and early summer, the night temperature was comfortable, and Liu Ci sat on the grass after dinner to breathe in and practice qi. Under the operation of the mental method, the aura that is usually stored in the flesh and blood has accumulated enough, and they have woken up to "say hello" to the owner of the sojourn.

The green mist slowly swam in the meridians in her body, and Liu Ci was in the magic world, but she pushed open the door to cultivation—it was a strange and brilliant new world!
