Chapter Seventy-Four: Gathering Ears of Wheat
Now they eat wild vegetables boiled with hare or pheasant, and try to cook them soft and easy to digest in the morning.
The staple food has been gone for a long time, I thought that I could get some food to eat in the village, but I haven't eaten the staple food for the past few days, I always feel a little empty, I eat so much meat, and I don't feel full.
Who knew that he ran down in a hurry, and there was nothing.
When they got up in the morning, they went to the field to see if there were any ears or grains of wheat that had fallen on the ground, but after looking for a long time, they found a dozen or so of them.
It's too little, they don't bother to rub it out, so they just finish eating for a while and then go to other fields to take a look, pick up some and take them away.
If you can pick up a pound or two, you can put it in when cooking at night, and it always tastes like porridge.
Although the two siblings had already eaten a piece of meat, their stomachs were still not full, and the two of them ate a big bowl of chicken and wild vegetable soup.
Although it was hot, it was good to eat hot, and it was quite comfortable.
During the meal, Li Hao and Yang Dashan's men got together.
While eating, while discussing how to go after that, anyway, it is one person and one pottery bowl, and it is the same wherever you eat, and a group of people squatted together with the bowl.
Even if you can't go over, you can hear what they are saying about the clinching and ugly, so I didn't go to join in the fun, but ate with the women.
Qian Yan didn't mention the matter of letting them adopt the two sisters and brothers, the two sisters and brothers had just lost their families, and it was a sad time, and it was better to get along for a long time and have feelings.
When the time comes, I have feelings, and I understand each other's temperament, and it is better to live together.
At this time, hearing Li Hao's idea, Qian Yan felt that their method was okay.
After they were ready, the three of them took turns to take the lead, and if there was a tree, they would climb the tree and observe it.
If there are no trees, if they are on a high place, three people will first go up the slope to observe.
If it is flat or low, then it is necessary to go forward for a while, three people together, and one person will come back in turn every hour to tell the situation, if the time has passed and they do not come back, they will know that something is wrong, and they should prepare in advance, to save people and hide women and children.
Every time I come back, I change to a different person, so that I don't have to run back and forth alone, and everyone is not tired.
In fact, Qian Yan felt that this was quite tiring, but she had no other good way.
It's not like inside the mountains, but inside the mountains, if they see any danger in front of them in the trees, they can go around the mountain or avoid it in advance.
After going out from here, there is a great plain, there are few mountains, and the roadside is mostly some farmers' crops or relatively flat wasteland, and you can be found far away on the road, and there is no place to hide.
So that's the best way to do it at the moment, alas, and that's where communication is.
In the afterlife, as long as you have a walkie-talkie. You can talk to each other for a few kilometers, and those who start in front can contact the rear at any time.
Oh, no!
Qian Yan suddenly thought of something, and said to Chouchou: "Chouchou, can you ask the bird here for help, let it help deliver the news, just like a carrier pigeon, when we leave, the bird can also fly back and forth to help deliver the message."
Even if everyone in Yangjiaping is illiterate, they can use grass rings instead, for example, this grass represents normal, and another grass represents danger, just like a simple version of the flying pigeon biography, it is better than running back and forth like this, right? ”
Ugly Ugly shook his head and said: "I can help tame the bird now, but as soon as we leave, it is estimated that the bird will not be obedient, and I don't know when it will fly away. ”
Qian Yan was a little disappointed, "Okay, that's the only way to go." ”
When they packed up and set off again, the little leopard fell asleep in his satchel again.
The two sisters and brothers may have been following her step by step because they were brought back by Tianyan, and they are still a little reserved about others.
It's not to be afraid, after all, except for Li Hao and the three of them, they are all old and weak, and they are all honest villagers, they should be similar to the old people in their village, so it's okay, so there is no fear.
They were planted in the field, and everyone thought of stopping by to see if there were any ears of wheat on the ground.
Except for the donkey cart that walked on the road at the edge of the field, the people scattered sideways in the field, looking for ears of wheat as they went, and picking up as many as they could.
Fortunately, this ancient wheat field was not as dense as in later generations, and it grew a little sparsely, so even if the wheat stalks were not harvested, you could see if there were ears of wheat on the ground.
To be honest, there are really few ears of wheat left, and I want to know that the farmers must also be very careful when harvesting, after all, it is related to the food in the next half year, how can it be allowed to fall to the ground.
Therefore, even if they walked across the field, when they reached the other side of the field, everyone gathered together and turned around, even if there were not a few catties of wheat in total, and after the threshing was completed, there were even less.
