Quick travel: after being possessed by the monster system
Chapter 3 Harvest in the mountains
Early the next morning, before dawn, Lin Qing woke up.
Although her body was still shouting that she was tired, she still managed to get up. The house was so clean that there was not even a grain of rice, and there was no need to prepare breakfast.
She cleaned herself up briefly, put a basket on her back, and took a machete.
There are rust stains on the knife and the edge is obviously not sharp. Such a knife will not be effective when encountering danger in the deep mountains.
Anyway, it was still early and it was difficult to go up the mountain in the dark. Lin Qing simply took out the whetstone and sharpened the knife in the yard under the faint moonlight.
When the knife was sharpened to the point of bleeding, the sun in the sky peeked through the clouds.
The time was just right. She put the knife in her backpack, picked a stick about one meter long in the woodshed, and then went out.
When Lin Qing climbed halfway up the mountain, the sun had completely come out. The further in, the harder the road became.
There were dead branches everywhere with thorns, and it was easy to get caught if she wasn't careful. No matter how carefully she walked, she still couldn't help but get caught on the thorns.
As he walked further in, the green plants he saw began to increase. Fearing that there were poisonous insects and snakes in these weeds, Lin Qing only dared to test them by tapping them with a small wooden stick before walking to the beaten place.
Relying on her keen sense of smell, she found several clusters of pine mushrooms under a pine tree. On a tree not far from the pine mushrooms, there was also a large piece of wild dendrobium growing on the trunk.
She had come into contact with some Chinese herbal medicine before and knew that dendrobium can improve eyesight and nourish the liver, promote digestion, nourish the stomach and lower blood sugar.In addition, dendrobium can also regulate the body's immunity, reduce the occurrence of diseases, and delay aging.
This is a good thing. Such a large piece of dendrobium that has not been picked is really an unexpected harvest for her.
She wants to collect these dendrobiums and dry them in the sun.Leave some of it for Old Mrs.
After picking this piece of dendrobium, the basket was already more than half full, and I carefully placed the pine mushroom on it. This thing cannot be pressed. Once pressed, it will become impossible to see.
Seeing that the basket was almost full, and there was still a strong fragrance coming from her nose, she was a little confused whether to continue walking in and find the food with strong fragrance, or to stop and go home.
After some struggle, her desire for food defeated the unknown danger, and she decided to continue walking towards the place where the smell came from. The closer she got, the stronger the scent became.
When she reached a towering tree, she looked around, then used a machete to push aside the weeds below, and saw a tree hole, which was not very deep.
Lin Qing was pleasantly surprised to find that this was used by squirrels to store food for the winter. Although the quantity was not large, there were still many varieties, including pine nuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts, peanuts and raw melon seeds.
After digging out the squirrel nest, these bits and pieces weighed three to four kilograms together. Looking at the great harvest in front of me, a satisfied smile appeared on my face involuntarily.
I picked out a handful of peanuts and chestnuts, peeled them against the tree trunks, and ate them. These previously unappreciative things have now become rare delicacies.
After eating and putting everything away, she prepared to return the way she came.The backpack that was empty when we arrived was now filled to the brim and weighed quite a lot.
Fortunately, Lin Qing suffered hardships as a child and was able to persevere in the face of these foods.After walking a few steps and resting for a while, we finally reached the foot of the mountain.
There are no villagers at the foot of the mountain. Now every household is short of food. In order to reduce physical exertion, the villagers in the village are sleeping at home and eating as little food as possible.
Some time ago, when there were still wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain, the villagers would come out to dig wildly for wild vegetables. Now that the wild vegetables are almost extinct, the villagers simply don't come out anymore.
This was good for Lin Qing. If the villagers saw that she had found so much food, she would definitely be in trouble later.
Especially since she is the only girl at home now. If a second-rate boy from the village gets evil intentions and breaks into the house in the middle of the night, she cannot guarantee that she will be able to keep the food.
She is even more afraid that some people will not only steal food but also take advantage of her. Her current strength may not be enough to defeat a man with evil intentions.
While there was no one around, she started trotting without making any loud noise. When she opened the door and walked into the yard, Lin Qing put down her backpack and immediately went to bolt the door. Only then did she feel at ease.
Half an hour passed before she sorted out the miscellaneous things she had brought back and dried the dendrobium directly.
The few pine mushrooms were also directly made into soup.Take a sip. Although there is no seasoning, it is still fresh and delicious.
One bowl was left, and the rest she packed in a basin and sent to the Xie family next door.
When I arrived at Xie's house, I found that Xie's father had returned.
"Girl Qing, Xiaoxiao told me, thank you for saving my old lady's life." When Father Xie said this, his eyes turned red.
It's funny to say that there is really no food left at home. The two old people are going to die. They really can't bear the two young children to starve to death.
The only daughter, Xie Mingya, was married far away to the Zhang family who owned a grocery store in the next town. Xie's father shamelessly went to his son-in-law's house to borrow food, but he didn't even get in.
Being mocked by his daughter's mother-in-law in front of the door, Xie's father blushed.For the sake of her grandchildren, she endured the embarrassment and waited outside the door for a whole day and night, but did not wait for Xie Mingya to come out.
In the end, I really couldn't trust the young and old at home, so I could only walk back disappointed.Fortunately, Xie's mother brought the only two wild vegetable and whole-grain cakes at home to Father Xie on the way, so that Father Xie would not starve to death on the road these two days.
"Uncle Xie, don't say that. You have helped my parents before and helped our family a lot." Speaking of parents, the voice of this body's natural reaction choked up.
"I went into the mountains today and found some food. I couldn't put the pine mushrooms, so I made soup and brought it to everyone to replenish the body." After saying that, he put the basin in his hand into Father Xie's hands and turned around without waiting for anyone to react. Just leave.
"Grandpa, is aunt here?" A little voice came from the side room from far to near.
"Girl Qing..." Looking at Lin Qing's back and the weak voice coming from his little granddaughter, Father Xie swallowed back the rest of his words. He really couldn't refuse this life-saving food.
"Dian Dian, call brother over for soup." When the little granddaughter came over, she touched the little girl's head distressedly.
"Alas!" When she heard that there was soup, Diandian swallowed involuntarily, her eyes brightened a little, and she couldn't wait to call her brother.
Lin Qing finished the soup left for herself and did not wash the pots and dishes. She had not rested much since going up the mountain. She was tired for a long time. At this moment, her bones were soft and she just wanted to lie down.
I remembered that I used to be too juan, turning myself into the king of juan, a being that others were jealous of and looked up to.
As a result, after working hard for more than [-] years and suffering all the hardships, on the eve of enjoying happiness, first he was inexplicably forced into a corner, and then he became a scapegoat!She just wanted to tear the paranoia that caused her death into pieces.
Don't give yourself a chance to go back, otherwise you will definitely make her life worse than death!Thinking of this, she took this mission in this world more seriously.
Before coming to this world, she had read the second half of the story in this world.
Yes, there is a second half of the story in this world. After Yu Xin died, Xie's father went to his son-in-law's house to borrow food and returned empty-handed. When he came back, he saw his wife's body. Xie's father endured the grief and relied on his determination to die. Go into the mountains.
Huangtian paid off and dug up a 30-[-]-year-old ginseng and exchanged it for seven taels of silver. With this money, he supported his son Xie Yuan until he came back from the academy in Fuzhou.
Xie Yuan was talented in reading, and later became a Jinshi and became the official of Qinghe Town.
It stands to reason that with such a brother-in-law, the twins of the Xie family, although they will not be rich and powerful, will have no problem growing up healthily.
It's a pity that Xie Mu didn't die in the battle, but he still made a moderate contribution and became an eighth-grade captain.
As the saying goes, getting promoted and getting rich will kill your wife. Xie Mu's immediate boss admired him more. Seeing that he lost his wife at a young age, he took advantage of the situation and betrothed his youngest daughter to Xie Mu.
Xie's father passed away not long after his stepmother entered the house. When his stepmother gave birth to his biological son, the twin brothers and sisters lived in dire straits ever since.
Their biological father was careless and did not care about the affairs of the inner house. Under the torture of their stepmother, the two little guys did not live past the age of nine.
"Trash!" The plot that followed made her couldn't help but secretly despise Xie Mu.Whether intentional or not, Xie Mu was the cause of the death of his young son.
It seems that I have to find a way to take care of their brothers and sisters in a reasonable capacity.However, the most urgent task is to survive this famine.
Relying on the sense of smell of rats, Lin Qing began to hunt for treasures in the mountains, keeping part of the food for himself and giving part to the next door.
The medicinal materials were sold directly to the drug store in the town. Although the price was extremely low, she also made a small profit of ten taels of silver. Of course, the bulk of it was the ginseng originally found by Xie's father.
Because Xie's mother was alive and well and the twins were young, the old man naturally did not have the determination to go into the mountains. In order not to waste the ginseng, she went to dig it back when she went to the mountains for the second time.
Soon, Qinghe Village ushered in the dew of the severe drought. A continuous heavy rain washed away the lifelessness in the village, and the village slowly regained some vitality.
During this drought, families with labor and food surplus were fine. Those who usually had orphans and widowed mothers passed away quietly in the natural disaster, adding a few lonely graves.
Although her body was still shouting that she was tired, she still managed to get up. The house was so clean that there was not even a grain of rice, and there was no need to prepare breakfast.
She cleaned herself up briefly, put a basket on her back, and took a machete.
