Chapter 86: The King Asked Me to Patrol the Mountains
The little brother guarding the city at the city gate can be regarded as knowing the Tan family.
The little brothers guarding the city are on duty, and they will gather in groups of three or five to go down to the restaurant. The conversation after the tea and dinner is nothing more than which little lady married whom, and which big family married which concubine.
And this Tan clan can be regarded as a clear stream in the conversation of the little brothers guarding the city.
This Tan family, let's say rich, it's not too rich. Yuzhou City is richer than the Tan family, and there are more.
Let's talk about being poor, but it's not too poor. Isn't it better than the next?
But in a family like the Tan family in the city, men will go to marry concubines, or go to Chunfeng Tower to have a dashing time.
But only, the men of the Tan family are not.
That's it.
Even those boys in the dart bureau refused to go to Chunfeng Building. This makes it difficult for the little guys who defend the city.
After all, some jobs are not agreed upon in a place like Chunfeng Building?
Therefore, when the little brother at the city gate saw Tan Qingqing and his party, he paid a little more attention.
"What are you going to do when you leave the city early this morning? Yo, there are still swim bladders, chicken feathers, and water goods in the fish basket? ”
"It's so fishy in the morning?"
The fish bladder, chicken feathers, and aquatic goods were all bought by Tan Qingqing who went to the market early in the morning and spent a little money.
It's all things that others don't want anyway.
So Tan Qingqing got some.
But what is the specific role, of course Tan Qingqing can't tell the little brother who guards the city. Otherwise, if the little brother guarding the city knows the use of these things, then almost everyone in the city will know about it.
"Gee, we're out fishing for shrimp. Anyway, the dart game has been idle lately, and there is nothing to do. So the dart head let us out to play. Big brother let us out of the city, when we are free, how many brothers will go to the restaurant to eat and drink? ”
The eldest brother who guarded the city said that the wine with the Tan family was not interesting.
"If you want to eat, you can eat flower wine. But you don't eat the wine. Forget it, the deer wood at the city gate has been opened for you, so go out. You remember, if you come across a suspicious person wandering around, catch it and bring it to us. ”
If it were an ordinary person, the big brother who defended the city would not have given such a special explanation.
But if it's Tan, then you have to explain it well.
Several babies of the Tan family hurriedly responded, "I know, if I meet it, I will bring it back as soon as possible and give it to you." ”
In this way, the eldest brother who defended the city was relieved to let the five little babies of the Tan family go out.
Out of the city gate, Tan Jiexing and Tan Qingqing hurriedly threw the collection tools they were carrying to their brothers.
Looking at Tan Yunxing, he was not happy.
Tan Jiexing also yelled at him, "I was carrying this thing early in the morning, and I was tired of carrying it!" Let you carry it, do you dare to talk more? ”
Tan Yunxing, "......"
Don't dare, don't dare
Let's be honest and even.
Tan Qingqing also evened out some of the utensils in his hand to Tan Rongbai and Tan Songbai. Especially the spatula, this thing is heavy, so you have to throw it out quickly.
In the end, Tan Qingqing only had a back basket and a fish basket for scorpions and centipedes.
Tan Jiexing is even more outrageous, she doesn't carry anything, so she has a medicine hoe in her hand.
The outside of Yuzhou City is not like other cities, out of the city gate is the mountain road, and the steep peaks on both sides.
Outside the gates were endless wilderness, streams, and rolling hills and hills.
And the flat land where these mountains and streams meet is actually fertile, which is very suitable for farming.
Therefore, there are many tenants who live by renting land.
The tenants weeded and fertilized the fields every day, and herded cattle and sheep for the lord's family, although their lives were not rich, but they were leisurely enough.
Tan Qingqing and his party did not disturb the group of tenants who cultivated the land, and walked quietly on the edge of the mountain.
Maybe it rained lightly last night, or maybe the weeds were wet with morning dew on their leaves. People walked by, and the rich moisture suddenly stained everyone's socks.
And on the side of the wild road, there is a clear stream that flows.
Streams and weeds take care of each other. Wild grasses sway in the water in the direction of the stream's flow. Under the clear water of the stream, moss and rocks are visible. Bending down and touching it, the fingertips entered the water, and a cold breath penetrated the bones, along the fingertips, and the whole body trembled.
Although it is autumn, the surrounding vegetation is orange, yellow, orange and green.
The streams that should be dry in other places are not dried up in the vicinity of Yuzhou City, which is surprising.
But no matter what, Tan Qingqing's mood is quite good. She even hummed a tune:
"The king asked me to come to patrol the mountains, and I turned the world around~ beat my drums, beat my gongs, and life is full of rhythm~
The king asked me to come and patrol the mountains and catch a monk to cook dinner......"
……
A few people next to him, Gu is staring at Tan Qingqing with a strange expression.
Tan Jiexing couldn't help but ask, "Fifth sister, what's wrong with you?" You tune...... Hmph, why haven't we ever heard of it? ”
"Uh-huh...... Homemade. Tan Qingqing couldn't explain to Tan Jiexing, so she had to start talking nonsense, "It's just this situation, people can't help but sing a song." What's the matter, the tune I hummed just now is pretty good, isn't it? ”
"It's good, but why does it feel so strange?" There was always a feeling of being out of place in their time.
"Oh, doesn't it sound good? Don't think about it. ”
Tan Qingqing grabbed his own fish basket and said a few words to Tan Jiexing.
"While there's nothing to do now, let's dig a pit and catch centipedes, right? Centipedes generally start their activity in late spring and early summer, and are most active from early summer to early autumn. It's almost autumn now, and I don't know if there's anything else. ”
"Yes, there must be, but certainly not too much." Tan Jiexing said beside him, "Otherwise, everyone will catch it, and the medicinal herb shop will not be out of stock." ”
Tan Qingqing, "Yes." ”
"Forget it, let's try it first."
They found a damp pit with no one on the edge of it, and dug a number of long pits in the shape of a ten.
Width 50~60cm, depth 15~20cm.
The length depends on the situation.
Everyone put all kinds of miscellaneous dung, humus soil, weeds, chicken blood, etc. into the pit, and cover it with branches, stones, bricks, etc., to lure centipedes to climb in, and the centipedes can be harvested in the pit the next day.
But in general, centipedes are the most abundant from March to June. It is estimated that it will be difficult to catch a large number of them now.
However, the pit, they dug first.
When they come back from the mountains and forests, they will come again to check how many centipedes there are in this pit and how many centipedes they can take out and sell for money!
After everyone finished their work, they continued to walk into the mountains and forests.
The pit for catching centipedes is ready, and then there are scorpions, toads, spiders, and snakes.
Wild scorpions are also seen at night in the summer, and are rare in the fall. Moreover, in real life, it has been strictly forbidden to catch wild whole scorpions, and only farmed whole scorpions can be used as medicinal materials.
This is also in the game, there is no concept of protecting wild animals, so that Tan Qingqing and his party can go into the mountains to catch them unscrupulously.
