Chapter 4 Finding Bamboo

"Sister, sister, it's dawn!"

In the morning, Liu Qingcao woke up to the sound of Liu Jiangbei's call. After a good night's sleep, Liu Qingcao felt refreshed.

"Sister, are you still going to catch fish today?" Liu Jiangbei followed his sister's example and boiled yesterday's dried fish and bamboo shoots, and put them on the table.

Liu Qingcao was both relieved and distressed, Liu Jiangbei was only ten years old, and the ten-year-old children in his previous life were still playing and playing in school, what a different era!

"I'm not going to catch fish anymore. Today, let's go to the back mountain to see if there are any other wild vegetables. Let's pick some and have a change."

"I listen to my sister!" Liu Jiangbei picked up a bamboo shoot with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth like a little hamster.

After breakfast, on the way to the back mountain, Liu Qingcao passed the Shihe River, turned the quilt over, and Liu Jiangbei's clothes were completely dry.

She handed the clothes to Liu Jiangbei and asked him to change them. There are many mosquitoes on the mountain, and wearing shorts is too easy to get hurt, so you should feel at ease when you change them.

Everything was ready, Liu Qingcao led Liu Jiangbei all the way to the familiar place.

Walking to the big bamboo forest, Liu Qingcao stopped. The bamboo shoots here are big, but the taste is not as good as the water bamboo shoots. Without tools, most of the ingredients might have to be wasted here.

What Liu Qingcao wanted today was not bamboo shoots, but bamboo. She couldn't even find an extra water container at home, and she had to go back and forth to get water, which was a waste of time and energy.

Looking at the huge bamboo forest, Liu Qingcao knew that without tools, it would be very difficult to get bamboo quickly.

Looking at the big bamboo shoots, Liu Jiangbei felt helpless, one could eat a whole meal with such a big bamboo shoot, but no matter how he manipulated it, it didn't budge...

Just as he was running around in a hurry, he heard his sister calling him.

"Sister..." Before Liu Jiangbei could speak, he was interrupted by his sister.

"Jiangbei, look around to see if there are fallen bamboos, even half-grown bamboo shoots."

After speaking, he turned around to look for it, and when Liu Jiangbei came back to his senses, Liu Qingcao had already walked away.

In this large bamboo forest, there are always some broken and dead bamboos. If there are not even these, those big bamboo shoots that have just receded their shells are also very good.

After searching for a while, Liu Qingcao found two broken bamboos, one dead bamboo, and ten large bamboo shoots.

Even if the dry bamboo is dry, Liu Qingcao tried all the methods she thought of, but couldn't shake it...

The broken bamboo took a long time to get it off.

Looking at the broken bamboo that took a lot of effort to get down, Liu Qingcao didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a while.

After getting it off, how to separate it when taking it back.

Sorrow!

She is so sad!

When Liu Jiangbei happily came to join her, Liu Qingcao was extremely depressed.

It seems that we can only attack with fire...

For the next time, Liu Qingcao only looked for big bamboo shoots. Together with Liu Jiangbei, she was able to break a lot of big bamboo shoots.

For these bamboo shoots, you can find a sharper piece of stone in the river to cut them down.

I don't know how many times they ran back and forth. They had blisters on their hands and feet before they moved all the bamboo down the mountain.

After a simple lunch, Liu Qingcao called Liu Jiangbei to rest, while she sat in the yard and worked.

Looking at the pieces of bamboo tubes neatly placed in the yard, the blisters on Liu Qingcao's feet and hands no longer feel pain.

Originally, she wanted to burn some pottery bowls or something, but thinking about using them in a hurry, it would take a long time to wait for the clay bowls to dry in the shade, and firewood is also a problem...

So she didn't bother with that, and at most made a few larger clay bowls, jars and the like, and put grass leaves on them to decorate things after it dried in the shade, so as to prevent mice from eating them.

The broken bamboo, the willow green grass was placed on top of it with red-hot charcoal, bit by bit it was eroded with hot charcoal, and finally five old bamboo tubes were made down.

It was almost done, Liu Qingcao got up and moved around for a while.

"It's time to bring the quilt back."

After all, Liu Qingcao walked towards the river, the washed quilt was still a bit changed, and it could be seen from a distance, if it wasn't for the fact that few people came here, she might not have seen the quilt.

Of course, in that case, Liu Qingcao wouldn't be so stupid as to put it here to dry...

This village is very poor and there are very few people. There are less than twenty households, and there is still some distance between each household. Except for the village head's family with better conditions, most of them are scattered scattered.
