Chapter 495 One step ahead

   Today is the twelfth day of the return journey, and the way back is halfway through.

   There were three or five tall persimmon trees near the camp, and the men climbed to the trees to pick the fruit.

  At this time, the leaves on the persimmon trees have fallen off, leaving the trees full of red persimmons that are too dense to count, not to mention how beautiful they are.

I was lucky today. I picked half a basket of fungus from a dead branch of a very tall tree nearby, washed it and threw it into a clay pot to make soup, and it was not easy to find fresh and tender wild vegetables after adding two handfuls. , Two wild onions cut into sections, stewed on big bones, it is an extremely delicious soup.

   Drinking a bowl in such a season makes my whole body feel comfortable.

The    hunters also returned soon, bursts of noise and excitement.

  When everyone looked at them, they couldn't help but be startled. They saw a colorful tiger on the back of the big tortoise!

   "Yeah! What a big tiger!"

  "There is tiger meat to eat tonight!"

   "No, we are really lucky!"

   "No one was hurt, right?"

   "Look at you being scared and worried. How could anyone get hurt when the big village chief is here?"

   "That's right, the big tortoise is also very powerful! I have seen it with my own eyes, and a wild deer will lose its voice when I shoot it with one paw!"

  “…”

  The whole camp was boiling. The women tsk tsk and sighed in amazement. The men who didn't go hunting were very envious. The people who did envy were so lucky to have brought such a big guy back.

  The people who went there were full of excitement and pride, and their eyes were shining, telling people the thrill and excitement of this trip...

  Look at this ferocious tiger, it weighs 3,000 jin, it is a very huge behemoth, and it is no wonder that everyone is so proud.

   Moreover, this big guy's territory is very broad. Since it appears in this area, I believe that there will be no other beasts haunting it. I can sleep a little more at ease tonight.

   At one point, the crowd went to a water source farther from the camp and slaughtered the tiger.

   After a while, someone came with four slaughtered and washed fat pheasants, which were hunted by Mo Yunshen, and asked Mu Qingli and the others to cook the soup first.

   Immediately, a woman who was good at cooking took it over and threw it directly into the big pottery pot, which ignited a fire and boiled it.

   Fungus, wild vegetables and wild onions will be added later.

  The yam has also been washed, neatly placed in another pottery pot, added water, covered with a lid, and boiled over a fire.

   After a while, everyone packed the processed tiger meat in baskets and carried them back one by one.

Two tiger bones with a lot of meat are directly put into the pot and a piece of soup is stewed, and the tiger meat is strung with tree sticks, and piles of bonfires are set up. A dozen people roast and eat it by themselves, and everyone brings simple seasonings with them. on.

   After eating meat, eat some yam and drink a bowl of hot soup, the day is no worse than at home.

  The peeled tiger skin is hung on a tree not far away to hang to dry, and I will take it away when I leave tomorrow. After returning to the village, we will see how to distribute and deal with them.

  This tiger is very big. It has been slaughtered to remove its internal organs and the head, etc. At least it has 2,300 to 400 jin, enough for breakfast and lunch tomorrow.

   This way, every day I have gained something, and every day I am closer to home, and everyone is happier.

   After this day-to-day experience, the members of this **** team have also greatly improved their ability to survive in the big forest.

   Several of them are exceptionally outstanding. I believe that with their leadership, one or two will be able to roam in the big forest, but of course they can't go too deep.

  Everyone else is happy, only Mo Yunshen has no chance to get close to his wife. He can only watch it every day, and can't even touch his little hands, which makes him feel a little depressed. Therefore, it is not good to say that there are too many people. He wished that they could all be on their own as soon as possible, so as not to disturb him and his wife...

   is about to leave the big forest.

   In one day, you can leave the big forest, and in the afternoon, you can go home.

   You can't let everyone go back empty-handed. After coming out this trip, you have to gain something, right?

   Mu Qingli discussed with Mo Yunshen, she, Xiaoyaer and Xiaoluan took the twenty women away the next day, left the big forest, and returned to the village.

  Mo Yunshen took three hundred of them around the big forest again, and they had to hunt a prey for each person.

The   women also have their share, and they will be distributed to them when they go back.

  The women who thought it was over and could only pick some wild fruits and vegetables and returned home couldn't help but rejoice.

   After parting the next day, Mu Qingli took them all the way to the big forest without stopping.

   Someone looked at the wild fruits in the mountains and asked Mu Qingli if they could go and pick them?

   After hearing this, several women echoed and said yes, saying that the horizontal and vertical here is not far from the mountain forest outside. It is calculated that they can return to the village in the afternoon. After leaving the big forest, they will go faster, and the time will be more than enough.

   It's a pity that these wild fruits will fall to the ground and spoil if they don't pick them...

   Mu Qingli was both angry and funny, why do these people like putting the cart before the horse so much? Is life worth more than a few fruits?

  Although they are good at work and have a lot of strength, even if a wild boar comes, it can make their legs weak and unable to walk.

   As for the twenty people, the twenty people who have no fighting ability and are very likely to be dragged down, can she, Xiaoyaer and Xiaoluan really protect them?

   Mu Qingli refused without hesitation, saying that he really wanted to pick wild fruits and it wasn't the time, and besides, is there still a lot to eat at home? Urging the women to hurry up.

  Otherwise, if you run into a wild boar or something, you won't be able to run...

   Although the women disagreed a little with her words, they couldn't hold on any longer. I had to regret all the way and left with her.

   Finally walked out of the big forest, Mu Qingli gave a big breath. After leaving the big forest, the danger is reduced by at least half.

   When it was noon, everyone returned to the village.

   Of the twenty women, eight were from the lower village and twelve were from the upper village.

   Mu Qingli asked the villager to come over to share the meat tomorrow evening, and the next morning to go to Zhang Zishan's house, she and Mo Yunshen will take their share to the next village.

   The spirits of all the women were lifted, and then they became a little more joyful.

   "Finally back!" Walking into the yard, Xiao Ya'er and Xiao Luan both had smiles in their eyes, obviously they were very attached to this home.

"Yeah," Mu Qingli's eyes were turning green, her belly was burning with hunger, she licked her lips and smiled, "I will cook white rice tonight, I want to eat twice-cooked pork, diced spicy chicken, and sour sauce. Spicy lotus root slices and braised pork ribs, Xiao Ya, it's up to you!"
