Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger
Chapter 59: Foraging in the Mountains
With the help of Aunt Li, Mrs. Lin and Xu Qing, the speed of transplanting rice seedlings was extremely fast. After the four siblings pulled out the seedlings, Aunt Li finally drove Dahua to plow the rice field.
The three little kids also rushed to help plant the rice seedlings, but they ended up planting them crookedly and the roots were not rooted in the mud. They had to make a wish to pull up the seeds one by one and plant them again. After repeating this several times, Xu Yuan gave up.
"There are a lot of fruits. You two, get out of here and don't make trouble here. You'll get your trouser legs wet again."
The two little kids were stunned when their eldest sister suddenly yelled at them. One of them was holding a small pile of rice in his arms and the other was holding a seedling in his little hand.
"Ah?" Two pairs of big eyes looked at Xu Yuan blankly.
"Sister, I'm planting..." Everything was fine. Guozi looked at the seedlings she had planted. They were completely different from the seedlings planted in front of her. They were all crooked. She resigned herself to her fate and closed her mouth. Facts speak louder than words.
Many of them were very discerning and looked back at the seedlings they had planted. Holding a few seedlings in their little hands, they smiled innocently at Xu Zhi beside them.
Xu Zhi also looked at them with amusement and sighed helplessly. Really, he was already busy enough and now he had to do it again.
"Yes, Guozi and Xiaoduo, you guys go out. And Qingming, you get out too. We can handle it here." Xu Qing came over and pulled the three kids out of the field.
"No, I want to help. I want to witness with my own eyes the seedlings I planted grow into big plants and bear lots of grain." Many young voices sounded instantly.
"Me too, big sister. We will plant the rice properly this time." Guozi was afraid that his big sister would not let him plant the rice, so he spoke quickly.
When Xuyuan heard this reason, the corners of his mouth raised.
"Mother, Guozi and Xiaoduo are right. I want to do the same. Look how good the rice seedlings I planted are."
Xu Qing took a look at the rice seedlings planted by his son. There was a scattered one here and a small pile there. He sighed and bent down to pick them up silently. "Okay, don't harm your sister Xuyuan's rice seedlings. These rice seeds don't cost money. Go out and watch them."
Fruits and many others pulled the sleeves of the wishing man, staring at him with their big eyes.
"Okay, then you two take this small piece, look at the distance ahead, follow the pattern ahead, and plant the seedlings straight for me, don't let them fall over."
Guozi and many others nodded frantically, and began to compare with a seedling. After planting it, they dug the mud with their hands and pressed it down.
Seeing this, Gu Qingming was not willing to do it anymore. "Sister Xuyuan, I want to do it too. Please talk to my mother."
"Okay, stop making trouble and get to the side." Xu Qing stopped him immediately and drove Gu Qingming to the edge of the field. He silently tidied up the seedlings that Gu Qingming had planted in a crooked manner and whose roots were not buried in the mud.
Comparing Guozi and those two kids, my son really ruined the seedlings. There were also some weed seedlings that were not picked out and were planted with them, which will have to be removed when the time comes.
After an afternoon of hard work, several people finally planted the two large fields with seedlings. Now they no longer look bare.
"Aunts, thank you for coming to help today. Why don't you have a simple meal at home before going back."
"No, no, it's just a piece of cake. Thanks to Xuyuan for teaching us how to make seeds sprout, we can still put a few copper coins in our pocket."
"We are all from the same village, and you have helped us a lot. I am very happy to be able to lead everyone to earn money together."
"Hahaha, good, you have great ambitions. It seems that you have to hold on to Xiaoyuan's thighs in the future and live a good life."
Everyone laughed and talked happily, and went home as the sun set.
It was another day of hard work. All the barren fields in the village were planted with seedlings, waiting for them to take firm roots. Then they began to fertilize, weed, and spray pesticides in the hope of a good harvest of food.
Have a good night's sleep, tomorrow will be another sunny day.
The next morning, the sky was just getting light. There was a heavy fog outside and the leaves and grass were covered with dew. I decided to go up the mountain to see if I could find some wild vegetables and game. After all, we have to live by the mountain. In order not to get our clothes wet, I had to wear a straw raincoat.
Xu Zhi, Guo Zi and many others were still asleep, so Xu Yuan did not plan to call them. Soon, green smoke rose above the kitchen and merged into the foggy sky.
Since arriving in Hsinchu Village, we have built houses and reclaimed wasteland. Now we have planted vegetable seeds in the vegetable garden and seedlings in the fields. We can also earn a stable income from the sprouts. Everything is gradually getting on track.
This life is really becoming more and more promising.
……
The vegetation in the mountains is dense, so in case he couldn't find his way, he marked every step of the way he took.
Walking aimlessly in the woods, I saw familiar herbs in the mountains and forests, so I picked them up and threw them into the bamboo basket on my back. There was also a bow and arrow hanging on my back, and the arrowhead was a little rusty.
Because it rained a few days ago, the ground was bumpy. I stepped into a small hole and got my shoes wet. Xu Yuan walked carefully and found obvious footprints, which should be the footprints of pheasants. After all, the footprints of small birds are not so big.
I made a wish and decided to try my luck. It didn't make sense to go into the mountains and carry a bunch of herbs back. I followed the trail and observed the surrounding environment. The further I went, the sparser the trees were. The dark light in the forest was gradually dispersed by the sunlight, and the light became brighter. I could also hear the echo of the water.
I took a quick look around and found myself at a valley where there was a pool of water. The bottom of the pool was clear and visible. It was not very deep and was surrounded by water plants. Small fish and shrimps were swimming happily.
I came to the pond, scooped up a handful of water and washed my face. It was so cool and refreshing.
There's nothing to see around here, nothing but weeds.
After making a wish and resting here for a while, he started on his way again.
……
"Check yourself. You have to follow your father closely. This mountain road is very difficult to walk on."
"Got it, Dad. You should be careful too."
Since being rescued from the ground dragon, Lao Zhu has made up his mind to take his family and follow the villagers of Qingshan Village. From coming to this strange place to building his own new home bit by bit, he has been busy for a long time. Finally, after finishing the work in the fields, he finally has time to find something to do. The family can't rely on the sprouts provided by the wishing girl, so he plans to start his old business again.
When Lao Zhu first came here, he found that there were many fruit trees. Although the flowering period had passed, other trees were still in bloom.
So I went up the mountain to see if there were any beehives or honey.
This is a treasure. Before I fled the famine, I made a lot of money by raising bees in the village during the flowering season.
