Kuai Chuan: I don’t get along with my family’s golden finger.

Jiang Che had already planned to have lunch in the mountains, so Jiang Che brought condiments.

I stewed mushroom and pheasant soup in a clay pot, and roasted two rabbits.

The remaining pheasant is marinated, then stuffed with mushrooms, wrapped in leaves, and covered with a thick layer of mud.

Bury yourself under the fire and be a beggar.

When the soup is ready, the beggar's chicken will be ready too.

After breaking open the outer layer of the mud shell that had been dried by the kang, bursts of hot air hit the nostrils along with the overbearing fragrance, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

For a time, the aroma of pheasant mushroom soup and roasted hare in the clay pot was suppressed by the beggar chicken.

"Try it quickly. This needs to be eaten while it's hot to be delicious."

After both beggar's chickens were opened, Jiang Che greeted everyone.

So a group of more than a dozen people sat down around the fire and began to feast.

At this time, people have less fat and water in their stomachs, but they exercise a lot, which results in them eating a lot.

There seems to be a lot of game, but for more than a dozen people, it's not much.

So everyone took out all the dry food they had brought.

The dry and hard pancakes do not taste good, but when soaked in pheasant mushroom soup, they become a rare delicacy.

Everyone was satisfied with this meal.

Perhaps because Chen Siyue didn't come and Zhou Zhi's presence was weak, everyone got along very harmoniously.

After lunch, everyone rested for a while and then continued working.

In the morning, all the nearby mushrooms were harvested, and everyone focused on other things.

There were a lot of pine trees in this mountain forest, so everyone turned to pick up pine cones. If they encountered chestnuts, hazelnuts, etc., they didn't let them go.

The winter in the north is extremely long, and there is basically nothing to do during winter. These pine nuts, chestnuts, etc. are the best snacks to pass the time.

Jiang Che liked to eat pine nuts, so he went straight to those pine cones, but he didn't pick up many chestnuts, hazelnuts, etc.

By the time everyone went back, everyone's backpacks were full, and many people were still carrying a bag in their hands.

Even so, when they reached the foot of the mountain, everyone still picked up some firewood and dragged it back to the Educated Youth Yard.

Jiang Che simply cooked noodles for dinner.

However, pure white noodles with pork pickles are already a rare delicacy in this era. Anyway, Du Jingyan and the others were very happy to eat.

It was getting dark after dinner, and everyone went home.

Jiang Che closed the door, lit the kerosene lamp and began to deal with the things he brought back from the mountain today.

Herbs and other things definitely need to be sorted out, and many of them need to be concocted.

He planned to ask the old educated youths tomorrow where they could buy flat baskets for drying things.

All the pine cones were opened and the pine nuts inside were taken out.

By the time I finished all these things, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

Jiang Che stretched and returned to the kang to practice cross-legged.

With his current strength, he has been able to replace sleep with cultivation, but he still maintains the habit of sleeping every day.

So I practiced for only two hours, then lay down and fell asleep.

In the next few days, Jiang Che, like other educated youths, went to the mountains every day.

Sometimes everyone would act together, and sometimes he would act alone if he wanted to collect some medicinal materials from the mountains.

No matter which one it is, the harvest is rich every time.

Now the shelves in front of his house are filled with dried medicinal materials, all of which he prepared.

It was not easy to store these medicinal materials, so Jiang Che had no choice but to go to town again and go to a carpenter to customize a medicine cabinet.

Because it is for my own use, the cabinet is not too big, and it will not look crowded when placed at home.

Jiang Che came out of the mountains alone that day. He had just reached the halfway point of the back mountain when he heard screams and panic-filled shouts from afar.

That scream was very familiar to Jiang Che. It belonged to Wei Pingting.

Jiang Che couldn't help but quicken his pace.

When he ran to the place where the sound came from, he saw Wei Pingting lying on the ground with blood flowing out of her arm.

Yao Tiantian and three others were trying to help her to a safe place.

Not far in front of them, a large wild boar was rampaging.

It was just that there was a rope around the wild boar's neck, and the rope was pulled by Du Jingyan, Jiang Chenggong and the others, so it didn't hit Wei Pingting.

This wild boar is huge and very strong.

Although Du Jingyan and the others were in large numbers, they did not dare to approach the wild boar, so they could only control it from a distance using ropes.

Jiang Che walked a few steps quickly and came to the vicinity of the crowd, then took out the hatchet from his backpack and threw it directly at the wild boar's neck.

His strength was unbelievable.

The blade of the hatchet scratched the wild boar's neck, and then was heavily inserted into the trunk of a tree not far away.

Most of the blade was sunk directly into the trunk of the tree.

After the wild boar let out a shrill scream, it fell heavily to the ground.

Blood flowed out from the wound on its neck, and soon the surrounding area was stained red.

Seeing this scene, everyone breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Wang Yuan and others even collapsed to the ground.

They had been in a stalemate with the wild boar for a long time before, and all their strength was exhausted. Now that they relaxed, they couldn't even stand still.

Jiang Che did not look at the wild boar. He walked to Wei Pingting in a few steps and checked her arm.

It is already the end of October, and it will be November in two days.

It's already very cold in the north at this time, so everyone wears a lot of clothes.

Even so, the blood on Wei Pingting's arm still stained half of her sleeves red. The injury was naturally serious.

Trouble is, she also broke a bone.

Jiang Che turned over and took out his golden needle from his arms, first to stop the bleeding on her arm.

He found a few more wooden sticks to fix her arms, and applied medicine to the wounds.

"Is she okay?" After a while, Lin She took a few steps to Jiang Che and asked with concern.

"The wound is a bit deep. I have applied medicine and it will heal soon. However, it has lost too much blood and needs to be replenished. The bone is also injured and the arm has been unable to move in the past few months."

Jiang Che dealt with Wei Pingting's injuries quickly and replied without raising his head.

"Are you hurting your bones? Is it serious?" Wang Yuan asked anxiously after hearing this.

They all grew up together and have a good relationship with each other. Wei Pingting is a girl, so everyone can't help but take care of her more.

Now that she was injured under the eyes of several people, how could they not be anxious.

"It's not serious. It will be fine after raising it for a while. But how could you encounter a wild boar and let it hurt Pingting?"

After treating Wei Pingting's injuries, Jiang Che asked about the wild boar.

"It's not all Chen Zhiqing. He set up a trap in the mountains and caught a piglet without saying anything. In the end, he attracted a big wild boar. When he was in danger, he actually used Pingting as a shield. Otherwise, how could Pingting get hurt. "

Speaking of this, Wang Yuan glared at Chen Siyue who was standing aside with anger on his face.

Several others, including Lin She, who had the best temper, all glared at her.
