Chapter 6

Outside the stele of Jingzhu Village is a large area of ​​neat and open rice fields.

At the end of spring in May, Xiao Ruo walked on the rammed field ridge, green waves filled the front slope, and the sky was full of clouds and fat.

In this sea of ​​green, she can find her own field at a glance. After all, there is only one piece of land in the large area of ​​strong seedlings.

The death of the Xiao family's parents happened to be in the spring of February, which was the time to open the fields and sow seeds. After the funerals and funerals were over, the best days of opening the fields had passed.

Although the folks want to help, they have to clean up their fields first before coming.After going back and forth in this way, the seedlings in Xiao's field were planted much later than other families.The follow-up weeding and fertilizing was done by an inexperienced little girl in the original body. The seedlings became more and more sparse. Either the fat caused the tip of the leaves to turn yellow and curl, or they were thin and long and there was no yield at first glance.

Xiaoruo looked at the drooping seedlings and sighed silently in her heart. As expected, she could not expect this year's rice harvest. With this growth, it is God's pity to have dozens of catties of rice in the autumn harvest.

After crossing the rice option on the open source list in her heart, she decided to look further up the mountain.

Jingzhu Village is roughly located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River Basin, with both mountains and plains, including large expanses of fields and rolling hills.To the south of the village are fields reclaimed by farmers, and to the west are several high and low peaks. Xiaoruo only needs to cross his own field and walk for about ten minutes to reach the nearest mountain.

The mountain is only about 300 meters high. At the foot of the mountain is a large moso bamboo forest. In the bamboo forest, there is a stone path extending upwards, which is gradually covered by lush vegetation. At a glance, it is impossible to see where the path ends.

Xiaoruo climbed up the stairs, looking around with her slick eyes, where she saw bamboo forests and plants, all she saw were ingredients and cashable cash!
When walking through the bamboo forest, what she thought was that the moso bamboo is tough, and the whips, roots, stalks, branches, and sheaths are all good things that can be used. The chopped bamboo can be split into long and thin bamboo strips and can be used for bamboo weaving.She can't make a big bamboo bed and bamboo couch, but she can make a bamboo basket chair. In the past, the base had a course on maximizing resource utilization, and she taught them all.

It's a pity that it's May now, and it's not the season for spring bamboo shoots. Otherwise, if you dig up hundreds of catties of bamboo shoots and go back, you can eat them for a long time after drying them into dried bamboo shoots.

Shaking her head and sighing, she missed Chunsun, Xiaoruo looked for the ground again.She thought that the geographical location of Jingzhu Village might be in the area of ​​Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

When she was a child, she lived in a small county in Zhejiang before entering the apocalyptic era.There are also many low hills outside the county seat. When Xiaoruo was a child, he and his neighbors ran wildly on the hills every day. The wild fruits and vegetables picked in spring are countless. Just thinking about it makes her mouth water.

Whatever he wanted, he just came out of the Xiaoruo bamboo forest when he saw a large clump of Zhazaigong on the ground.The bright yellow-green leaves lie low on the ground, and there are dense thorns behind the leaves. When you peel the leaves, you can see red fruits shaped like coral beads.Die Jie Gong is hollow and round, and has a sweet and sour taste, which is very popular among children.

Die Jie Gong is actually a fennel. In addition to being delicious, its whole plant and root are used as medicine, which can reduce inflammation and detoxify, clear away heat and calm convulsions, promote blood circulation and dispel rheumatism.Xiao Ruo happily wrote it into her open source list, she picked a small handful and wrapped it in a handkerchief, intending to take it home as a snack for Xiao Ling Xiao Zhao.

After picking up the public, Xiaoruo continued to head towards the mountains.

One after another, Akebia clover and Southern jujube flowers were discovered one after another. Xiaoruo carefully recorded the location and quantity of the discovery. These are good fruit reserves in September and October.

There are also many viburnums. The fruits, roots, branches and leaves of this plant have the effects of digesting food, promoting blood circulation, relieving pain, clearing away heat and detoxification, and dispelling wind and relieving the exterior. Its seeds contain oil, which can be used to make soap or lubricating oil.If it can be used well, it will be a lot of money for the Xiao family.

Gradually, the trees became more and more lush, and the thick fallen leaves gradually covered the stone path, making the path narrower and narrower.This shows that the depth she has reached is already a distance that villagers do not often come to. Where there are many people, there are roads, and where the road disappears, there are few people.

There are only birds chirping in the forest, and occasional rustling sounds behind the bushes and trees. Ordinary people are a little bit scared when they are alone in this environment, but Xiaoruo doesn't think it's scary at all. She is even more frightening. She has seen a lot of things, and the rustling noise will not make her shrink back, but she wants to go forward to find out. What if it is a hare or a wild boar that makes the noise?That's good protein!
After a blanket search, Xiao Ruo really found traces of high-quality protein.At the root of a dense bush, she saw a bunch of gray-white hairs, picked it up and licked it with her fingers, and smelled it again, it was the smell of rabbit urine!Oh, sure enough, there are wild rabbits living in this area.

Rabbits live alone or in pairs. They are good at burrowing and are not easy to catch.In spring, the male rabbit will chase the female rabbit for courtship. The rabbit running at full speed may not even be able to catch up with Xiaoruo alone, let alone the thin little girl now.

Xiaoruo slightly curled the corners of her mouth, muttering: "The reason why people are human is because they have subjective initiative, and they can use tools!"

Can't use all her strength to catch a rabbit, why can't she set a trap to catch it!
Just do what you say, first look around for a slightly thicker branch, smash the big rocks on the side of the road into a flat shape with sharp edges, and then knead several grass stems to form a strong grass rope. Grass ropes firmly bind stones and branches, and a simple shovel is completed.

The rotten leaf soil layer is soft, but if you want to dig a hole that can catch hares, you have to be one meter deep.

After digging for a long time, Xiaoruo dug to a depth of [-] to [-] centimeters. Her delicate face was already covered with beads of sweat. The sweat slid down her neck and wet her skirt and inner garment. The movement of the shovel caught the eyes, making them sting and hurt.

Panting and leaning against the nearby tree, Xiaoruo couldn't dig it anymore, Yuanshen's delicate and white hands were also rubbed red and hot by the branches.

Forget it, it’s not a day’s cold to freeze three feet, you can’t become fat with one bite, and Rome wasn’t built in a day.Xiaoruo panted heavily to comfort herself, but don't overdraw your physical strength all at once and deplete your body, this hare doesn't have to be eaten today, it just needs to continue digging holes tomorrow.

She looked up to see the fine sunlight slanting in from the gaps in the tree canopy. The sun is shining now. She promised Xiaoyou Xiaozhao to go home at noon, and now it’s time to go back to the village. Doudou.
