Chapter 218: Continue to flee the famine
The carriage stopped at the foot of the Secret Mountain, Boss Gu looked at the lush mountain, a little frightened, this looks like a forest, won't you get lost when you walk in?
"Mother, do we really want to go into the mountains?"
Li Wei looked at the ink: "Ask your father." ”
Boss Gu looked at Mo Wanting again: "Dad, let's go into the mountains, what if we get lost?" ”
Gu Laosi: "Yes, Dad, there is no acquaintance to lead the way, we went into this mountain, and we don't even know the road." ”
The rest of the Gu family didn't speak, and they all looked at Mo Want.
Mo was overwhelmed: "Your mother and I have decided to go into the mountain, if you don't want to leave, you can stay." ”
When Mo Wanting said this, everyone's faces were not very good.
"I listen to my father, and my father will go how he says?" Gu Lao Er took the lead in expressing his heart.
Gu Laosan looked at Mo Xuan and Li Wei, and always felt that the two of them knew something that everyone didn't know.
"Dad, mother, is there only one way?"
Li Wei shook her head: "There are thousands of roads, and your father is going to take this." ”
As he was talking, he saw many people in front of him, carrying large bags and small bags, slowly walking towards the mountain.
Evergreen City was no longer visible, but the direction of Evergreen City was already black and oppressive, and the volcano erupted, spewing out volcanic ash like rain, staining the entire sky black.
"Pack up your things, let's go."
The carriage couldn't enter, so Gu Laosi, who was strong, pushed the wheelbarrow again, Ah Chang also pushed one, and the others carried a small package.
When I went out, because I was in a hurry and didn't load food, after leaving Evergreen City, after passing through several villages, Wan Peng came forward to buy some, which was about enough for a group of people for half a month, so I needed to supply while walking along the way.
The vegetation of the secret mountain is very good, the grass and trees are lush, even if there is a lot of grass on both sides of the trail that hunters often walk, take out some realgar powder from the system, and give everyone a point to prevent some snakes, rats and ants, everyone knows that Li Wei has medicine, so they didn't ask where she came from.
Two small babies, Li Wei took a soft-backed chair carrying a baby from the system, and whoever carried it was tied to whom, so that the adults could walk easily and the babies would be comfortable.
Then everyone prepared a stick, one is to rush the grass on the side of the road, and the other is to save some effort by using the stick when you are tired, which is also useful when climbing the mountain.
Because the trees are tall and dense, there is no sunlight all year round, so the humidity is very heavy, and the grass blades are full of dew.
Then she also took a pair of small leather boots herself, originally wanted to give each person a pair, but this kind of thing is more exquisite, no matter how honest the Gu family is, after such a long time of fleeing, I have seen some and understand some, it is easy to find that these leather boots are too strange, I don't want to be too eye-catching, plus it is not very cold, I look at the boss and they are still wearing straw sandals, so she didn't care, only prepared a pair for a few girls.
I saw it and asked for a pair.
In short, with Li Wei's equipment, everyone was not as uncomfortable as they imagined when they entered the mountain on the first day, and many people who fled also alleviated everyone's fear of the mountain.
The Gu family identified the direction according to the compass, walked for four or five hours, it was almost dark, everyone was tired and thirsty, when they first entered the mountain, they also saw a lot of people with them, but the more they walked behind, the fewer people they saw, or the mountain was too big, the grass was deep and dense, except for the people who traveled together, it was easy to fall behind.
"Mother, there's a cave in front, we'll rest here tonight."
Boss Gu, who was walking in the front, shouted out happily.
"You and the third child go and see how big the cave is."
The two brothers walked quickly to the cave, and when they entered, they found that there were already many people sitting inside, like a big family who had come out to flee, and a few people wearing silk and satin but looking like maids were washing rice and vegetables at the entrance of the cave.
Boss Gu wanted to say hello and asked if he could let them also spend the night in the cave, but Gu Laosan saw that the two strong men guarding the entrance of the cave had unkind faces, so he pulled Boss Gu and left.
"Third child, why don't you let me speak."
Gu Laosan: "Big brother, these people don't look like people who are easy to get along with, let's find another place." ”
Gu Laosan thought about it, so he followed Gu Laosan and left, and the group walked forward again, and they didn't see a suitable cave anymore, and finally found an open place, there was a mountain spring not far away, and set up a tent.
The Gu family has experience in setting up tents, and the action is still very fast, Wan Peng was dazzled, he was still very worried, how to live in the mountains at night, but he didn't expect Li Wei to put so many good things in his back basket, knowing that Mo Xu would never like to live with everyone, and cheekily asked for a small tarpaulin and set up a small tent.
Li Wei directly gave him a big tarpaulin and set up two tents to come out, one for men and one for women.
The two tents were set up, Li Wei prepared an inflatable mattress for herself under the quilt, and she was desperate to see it, and she also wanted one, Li Wei simply prepared a double inflatable mattress, which was covered with a quilt, so that the two of them could not see anything when they slept on it at night.
As for the others, they put a layer of tarpaulin underneath and then directly covered a quilt.
Gu Laosi and Gu Laosan picked up a pile of firewood and burned it outside the tent, one was to keep warm, the other was to deter wild beasts, and other people saw them light a fire, and they all leaned over spontaneously, they didn't have oilcloth like the Gu family, only wrapped themselves in clothes and slept against trees for a night.
Li Wei was very satisfied with the bed she had prepared, so she wanted to take Ah Chang to dig some traps around to see if she could hunt some prey tomorrow, the food bought in the village was millet and rice, and there was no meat and vegetables, so just drinking some rice porridge on the way was naturally not enough.
Li Wei can be taken out of the system, but she is not a living creature, so she can't explain it.
"I'll go with you."
Li Wei wanted to discuss with Mo Desire how to make it easier.
Mo Wan glanced at her, asked Ah Chang to stay and take care of the Gu family, and then took Li Wei and the two out hunting.
Li Wei: "I have meat here, but it's not alive." ”
Mo Desperate guessed that Li Wei's Qiankun bag could not contain live animals, which means that it was best to fight a live one, so that it would be easy to cover.
The two walked in for a distance, the light became darker and darker, in fact, it is estimated that it is only three or four o'clock in the afternoon outside, who made the forest dense here, it looks like it is dark, Li Wei directly took out a high-watt flashlight to illuminate, looked at it and studied it for a long time, and sighed that this is much better than the night pearl.
When the two came to a slope, thanks to a flashlight, they saw the footprints of wild boars in the grass, so they dug a large trap nearby, then sharpened some spikes and stuck them underneath, and covered them with grass as cover.
Then I chose a few more places, set up the traps, and waited until tomorrow morning to see if there was any prey.
After the two of them made the trap, they walked back, and they had just walked not far, when suddenly there was a sound of animal wailing in front of them, and they stopped Li Wei behind them and walked forward slowly, it turned out that a wild boar had fallen into the trap, and its stomach was pierced by spikes, and it was seriously injured.
Mo was desperate to look at the wild boar in the trap, and directly slipped up, not big, only a few dozen catties.
"It's a trap dug by someone else." Li Wei reminded.
"It may have been dug by someone passing by here yesterday, we ate it first, and tomorrow the passerby will pick up the prey in our trap." ”
After saying that, Mo was desperate to carry the prey and walked back.
Well, Li Wei thinks this is reasonable, anyway, these traps they dug today, if there is no prey tomorrow morning, they will continue to walk, it is difficult to guarantee that no animals will jump in that day, and they will be picked up by others, this is the predecessor planted a tree and the later people enjoy the shade.
Carrying the wild boar back, Gu Boss and Gu Lao Er put a big iron pot on the edge of the mountain spring, boiled a pot of hot water, and then killed the wild boar with a knife.
Then pour boiling water on the wild boar, hang up the pig hair with a screwdriver, and then shave the belly, on the first day of entering the mountain, hunt a wild boar, everyone is very happy, and light a few bonfires on the edge of the mountain spring.
Pig water, pig heart, pig lungs, these things, Lin Dahong directly in the big iron pot pig, Xuewang also cooked and ate together, the family ate a full meal of killing pigs, and even the loss of escaping from the famine was much less
There are many people in the forest who are also fleeing the famine, and when they saw the Gu family hunting a wild boar, dozens of catties of meat, they were all greedy.
However, most people are greedy just to look at it, but there are also those who are thick-skinned and ask for it directly.
"This lady, you see that this wild boar is not small, can you also share a little bit with us, this big night, the forest is cold, my little grandson eats some meat to resist the frost."
Lin Dahong was thin-skinned and couldn't say anything to refuse, he glanced at Dahua, Dahua glanced at this woman, who was in her forties, with yellow teeth and triangular eyes and a collapsed nose. Behind her stood her son and daughter-in-law.
"There is a lot of prey in this mountain, and if you want to eat, you can hunt it yourself."
"Girl, didn't we catch it? You can't eat all of them anyway. ”
When Erhua heard this, he was not happy.
"You don't care if we can finish it, and we don't know you, why should we give you meat?"
The man saw that Erhua was so spicy, and his face was a little embarrassed.
"If you don't give it, you won't give it, I also see that everyone is fleeing and helping each other."
As he spoke, he cursed and was about to walk away, when a sharp voice sounded.
"You stole my prey?"
