Especially, after Xiaolan's accident, Zhao Guangming glanced at Xiaolan and comforted Zhang Cuilan.

"Don't worry, it's warmer here in winter than at home. You can save a lot of charcoal fire, and I plan to build a simple wooden house."

Xiaolan still had a high fever even in the extremely cold weather. She couldn't see a doctor and could only use cold medicine at home.

Zhao Guangming didn't have time to prepare much medicine. In the end, he was rescued, but his mouth became mute and he could no longer speak.

For this reason, Zhang Cuilan suffered for a long time, and finally felt that as long as people lived, everything would be fine.

Zhao Xiaolan was also very optimistic, looking at the blizzard and strong wind outside, and the fellow villagers who were struggling after the wind and snow receded.

She felt that she was quite lucky, just to be alive at this time.

Zhao Xiaolan took Zhang Cuilan's hand, shook her head gently, and smiled calmly.

"Well, I'm just too nervous."

"I know. Let's go outside and cut down the dead trees at night. We can use them for heating and lighting when the weather gets cold."

Zhao Guangming also hugged her and comforted her. He had also thought about going to the town to try his luck, maybe he could get something.

But I heard that on the way from the village to the town, some people were robbing, stealing food, women and even killing people.

After thinking about it, he still felt that his life was important. It was not worth it to go to the town and lose his life for some impossible delusions.

In addition, he still knows some herbal medicines, so he might as well look for them in the mountains to see if there are any medicines that can be used daily.

His ancestors have been relying on people for generations, and they always know some daily medicines. In the past few days, he has been taking advantage of it when it is not dark.

Go into the mountains, pick various herbs, take them back, wash them, and dry them in the sun for an hour or two.

There were plantains, wild mints, wormwood, honeysuckle, mountain chrysanthemums, dandelions, and wood sorrel. Many young and old picked all the grasses that he knew could be cured.

There are also mugwort and motherwort, these are best for women to drink. Even if there is no meat to cook, it is good to boil water to drink.

He also found a wild soybean plant. People nowadays don't like to eat these. After all, the soybeans cultivated in the classics have large particles, unlike this small one.

I also found two kudzu roots, which are also one of the staple foods. In short, it’s okay to eat them.

He also caught a pheasant cub, which was digging for worms in the ground to eat, so he took it back.

I feed it some vegetable leaves and pull it out to dig up some worms to eat when I have time. I don't expect it to lay eggs every day. It can lay three or five times a month which is pretty good.

He can still afford to raise one, but any more will be a waste of food, which is not cost-effective.

As for the big chickens, he killed them directly. They were too big to be raised and could easily escape.

He also found a small mountain spring to treat the pheasants. The water used to be very big, but now it is no longer available. It is expected that the flow will stop sooner or later.

Zhao Guangming hid under the tree, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at the withered woods in the distance.

When this small mountain spring is cut off, the trees nearby will soon be dried out. This is a forest, not a green belt planted on the roadside.

After the extreme cold, some trees finally managed to grow some leaves, but they were all gone. I really don’t know if there will be any plants left in the end.

He sighed. While he could still pick fresh wild vegetables, he would pick more. If there was no meat, he would just have to eat some wild vegetables, right?

He dug up another head of shepherd's purse and carefully put it in the bag, otherwise it would quickly become wilted.

Zhang Cuilan took the pheasant back and asked her to cut it into thin slices and take it outside the cave to dry in the sun. In less than an hour, it would turn into dried meat without any moisture at all.

The meat can also be roasted until half-ripened. After all, this area is far away from the village and remote. No one comes here at the moment.

But when there is no food in the nearby mountains, people from the village will come here, and then he will have to block the entrance of the cave.

He has to be careful when going in and out every day, and now he doesn't dare to go out at night for fear of bumping into someone.

In today's weather, those who don't have much water left at home will definitely choose to go out at night.

really.

About five days later, not long after Zhao Guangming went out, he saw someone going up the mountain from a distance. He quickly put away his sun umbrella and ran back to the cave.

Pushing the big stone that had been prepared, he blocked the entrance of the cave. The entrance of the cave was in a remote location and at a tricky angle. It would be difficult to see it unless someone knew about it.

There were a few trees blocking the way in front, and even though the leaves were all gone, the tree trunks still blocked the entrance.

He himself didn't expect that he could fall in. Zhao Guangming used a few more stones to block the entrance of the cave firmly.

He was also holding some kudzu he found today in his hand. It seemed that he would be relying on this to make a living.

. . . . . . .

Since Qin Lie and Qin Feng slept in separate rooms, Qin Lie still slept much easier.

You can still imagine the benefits of this cave. It wasn't very cold in winter before, but now it's summer. Sometimes it's so cold that you have to cover yourself with a blanket when sleeping at night.

The two of them still had a lot to eat, and Qin Lie also discovered that the supplies he transported actually included freeze-dried lemons and freeze-dried vegetables.

In this way, when he finishes eating those fresh vegetables, he can eat these instead of relying on vitamin pills.

On this day, when the two of them were looking down the mountain with telescopes, they suddenly discovered that a tree not far away was covered with snakes.

"Big brother...there are so many snakes."

Qin Feng was so frightened that he stuttered and pointed with trembling fingers not far away. Anyone who sees that picture will be scared, okay?

There was a group of snakes with various shapes, densely entangled, one on top of the other, and from time to time, snakes fell from the trees.

My scalp is numb! ! !

"Ah."

Qin Lie responded coldly, showing no emotion except for his tight lips.

Qin Feng ran into the house, took out the realgar powder, mixed it with rice wine, and carefully sprinkled it into every stone on the edge of the cliff.

It was so terrifying. He didn't want to see this scene at all. He even took out a water gun and soaked the cracks in the rocks above.

After doing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and went back to the house.

"It's so terrible. It's so terrible. You have to close the bars when you sleep at night."

Qin Lie's steps were also a little messy. Not only did he have to close the iron window, he also had to block the crack in the door. It was terrible.

For the next ten days, both of them had nightmares, dreaming that the bed was full of snakes, rats, and centipedes.

Every time they were awakened at night, the two of them missed winter very much. It was just cold and windy, nothing serious.

Perhaps it was because they smoked mugwort every day and spread realgar powder and insect repellent powder everywhere. There were no snakes or insects in the cave, and there were only a few mice occasionally.

"Brother, let's smoke some more mugwort. How much mugwort have you stocked up?"

"Three tons."

Qin Lie also thinks this is a good idea. It is definitely a good habit to smoke Ai. As long as the two of them are free, they will smoke everywhere.

The branches and vines outside the cave have been nothing more than a pile of dead branches since winter, but they were hung firmly and are now almost burning due to the sun.
