Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

Everyone looked at the cave entrance that Xuyuan was pointing at, their faces filled with disbelief.

Is this the home of the future? The surrounding streams are gurgling and clear, birds are singing and insects are chirping, the air is fresh, and the environment is quiet. Everyone is very satisfied with this place.

"Go through this hole and we'll reach our destination."

Gu Qinghan stepped forward and cleared the entrance of the cave that was blocked by vines. Xu Yuan took the lead and led everyone into the cave.

"Fruit, eat fruit, sweet and fragrant fruit." Manyu was no longer sitting on the cart. He was holding Song Guozi's hand with one hand and Xuyuan's hand with the other, jumping around, extremely excited.

The villagers pulled the carts and stepped into the cave one after another. The entrance was very bright at first, but when they reached the middle, the light gradually dimmed. As they walked, they lifted the vines and the daylight came in.

It is still the same beautiful scenery, still peaceful, the water is flowing quietly, and the waterfall is still rushing down.

Everything is still so beautiful.

"Wow, this place that sister found is so beautiful, with fruits all over the mountain and small fish in the river." Many people exclaimed and pointed at the small fish jumping out of the water.

"Xiao Yu? Let me see, let me see." Gu Qingming was still sitting on the cart. When he heard many exclamations, he quickly jumped down from the cart.

"Ming'er, be careful. You're making so much noise all day long. The fish won't run away. Why are you so anxious?" Xu Qing shook his head when he saw his little son running out like crazy.

"I understand, mother!" Gu Qingming answered loudly while running.

"Yes, yes, sister is really good at finding a place." It was the first time that Song Guozi saw such a beautiful place. The fruits all over the mountain were really beautiful.

Villagers also came in one after another, and couldn't help but admire the beautiful scenery. Children looked at the fruits all over the mountain and climbed up the fruit trees happily, with laughter coming from time to time.

"It's not in vain that I can live in such a beautiful place in my lifetime."

"Yes, from now on, this will be our home."

"If we build a village here, what should we call it?"

Village Chief Gu was very satisfied with this place. "This place was discovered by Xu Yuan. I admire Xu Yuan very much. He has the ability to do great things. Let Xu Yuan take care of the naming."

Make a wish ".?"

"How about calling it Hsinchu Village?" Xu Yuan asked tentatively.

"Very good, very good. Newly-born bamboo is full of vitality and hope." Village Chief Gu decided to call it this name without caring whether others agreed or not.

"Everyone, listen carefully, this is Hsinchu Village in Zhupianshan, our new home. Everyone is welcome to live in Hsinchu Village."

"Good, good, good." Everyone applauded, their eyes full of hope.

"This place is very big. Our village now has a population of 125 people and 30 households. How to divide the land depends on how much you can reclaim. You can get as much as you can build. I won't make any distribution. After all, everything is just beginning here, and everyone needs to start from scratch."

After listening to what Village Chief Gu said, everyone separated, chose their own places to live, and began to discuss building houses.

Everyone chose to build houses with bamboo without hesitation. After all, bamboo is obviously everywhere in the mountains and it is convenient to obtain local materials.

Gu Qinghan was called by his younger brother to catch fish, "Brother, that one is big, catch it quickly, we are going to have grilled fish tonight." Gu Qingming saw a big fish about to swim away from his eyes, and hurriedly pulled Gu Qinghan beside him.

The stone flew quickly and fell into the water. A big fish floated to the surface and was caught by a fishing net made of hemp rope.

There were two big fish and three or four small crucian carps lying on the shore. Gu Qinghan picked up a dagger beside him, quickly processed the fish, took two big ones, tied them up with vines, and stuffed them to Song Guozi and Manyu who were watching the fun.

Song Guozi and others were unexpectedly given a fish. They were stunned for a moment and said in unison, "Thank you, Brother Gu."

"Let's go back."

"it is good."

Xu Yuan chose the site next to the waterfall, which is located on the west side, a little higher, close to the mountain. Everyone else chose a location in the middle. There were also a few families who chose the one near the river bank. Among them, Xu Yuan knew Uncle Wang and the beggar, but he didn't know the others. Aunt Li's family and the village chief chose a site not far from the entrance to the cave.

The location where you enter the cave can be said to be the entrance to the village. When the time comes, we will fence off the area in front of the cave, plant vines beside the door, and plant bamboo outside.

Well, nice, perfectly hidden.

Xuyuan planned to discuss this idea with the village chief.

"Sister, fish, look at the big fish!" Many people ran over carrying a big fish, and Song Guozi was also running beside.

"Brother Gu gave it to me. Sister, can we have grilled fish tonight?"

Xuyuan looked at the two big grass carps and his eyes lit up.

Meat, this is meat.

"Okay, leave it here. Xiaozhi, take some coarse salt and rub it on the fish. I'm going to the mountain to collect firewood. You two stay here and don't run around."

·······

It is now summer in May, and the flora and fauna here are full of vitality. Xu Yuan encountered a few wild pheasants when he was looking for firewood with a basket on his back. Unfortunately, he didn't bring a bow and arrow. There were also many ferns on the roadside, and Xu Yuan picked some tender ones when he saw them.

It would be great if I could find wild ginger. Fish still needs to have its fishy smell removed to make it more fragrant.

Xu Yuan walked and stopped, picking up firewood when he saw it. Soon, his backpack was full, so he stopped walking. On the way back, he saw a field of wild onions. He didn't bring a hoe, so he could only pull them by hand. The place was humid and the soil was soft. He pulled up a handful of wild onions effortlessly, and then Xu Yuan went down the mountain.

It was convenient to build a house near the mountain. After making a wish, he walked down the mountain and reached home in a few steps. He put down the backpack, took out a handful of fern and three or two wild onions, and said, "Guozi, take some things to your elder brother Gu, and say it's a return gift to thank him for the fish."

Song Guozi took these things and ran out quickly.

"Wait for me, brother. I want to go too."

Many of them put their hands under their heads, one foot leisurely resting on the other leg, with freshly picked lychees beside them, and lay on the ground swinging their feet. When they heard that they could go out to play again, they were ready to get up and follow their eldest brother, but they didn't expect that their eldest brother would run so fast.

"Okay, just stay here quietly." When Xu Yuan first saw this child, he thought he was the quiet one. He still had the mentality of a child.

Xu Zhi saw that the firewood had returned and the fish was almost pickled, so he lit the fire pit he had just built. Xu Yuan saw this and said, "Xiao Zhi, you light the fire, I'll take care of the fish."

After a while, Song Guozi came back with some wild vegetables, "Sister, these were given to me by Aunt Qing."

Xu Yuan looked at the shepherd's purse he brought back, and then saw that there was still half a bag of coarse flour. "Then let's make dumplings tomorrow."

Xu Zhi nodded and thought about the house. "Sister, if we want to build a house, what kind of house should we build?"

"For the house, we have to go up the mountain to cut bamboo," Xu Yuan said, not forgetting to move his hands. He picked up two wooden sticks to string two fish together and put them on the fire to roast. He put wild onions in a bowl and mashed them. Unfortunately, he didn't buy soy sauce. "We each have a house, a utility room, a kitchen, a toilet and a bathroom. What does it look like? I'll draw it on the ground for you to see."
