The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system

Before going to bed at night, someone threw two handfuls of mugwort into the fire.

The flame was suppressed by the wormwood and suddenly lowered a few inches. Then the fire snake rolled up the wormwood again, burning even more fiercely.

The wormwood now is not as green as it was in the summer. It is tall and thick, with a well-developed root system.

The leaves are sparse, the hairs are less common, and the flavor is not as strong.

However, when put into the fire, there is still a special fragrance.

It's just right to drive away the bugs and ubiquitous mosquitoes in the camp.

This way everyone can sleep well at night.

After entering the mountains, no one dared to sleep too deeply.

A few days ago, Wang Chengzi suggested that everyone take turns to keep watch. Only then did everyone feel at ease and dare to sleep well at night.

Dabai didn't come back until the next morning, when the team had already set out.

It came up on its own, with a musk deer in its mouth.

He walked up to Xiaomi and put the prey in his mouth in front of Xiaomi.

He let out a "woop" at Xiaomi and began to comb his hair with his tongue.

Wang Zhuzi saw the musk deer on the ground, still twitching its hind legs from time to time. It was obviously about to die.

Xiaomi also took a look. Then he smoothed Dabai's fur with his hands. "Dabai, is this what you brought me?"

Dabai gave Xiaomi a soft "woop," fearing that the loud sound might scare his little master.

"Thank you, Dabai." Xiaomi said happily.

Then he said to Old Lady Wang, "Grandma, Dabai has brought us some food."

Old Mrs. Wang first looked down at the animal that Dabai had brought.

It looks like a deer but is not as big as a deer. Its upper body is yellow-brown and its belly is white.

Its fur is also relatively coarse. And it has no horns. It is indeed a musk deer.

Old Lady Wang patted her thigh happily and said to Xiaomi, "Your dear baby is really capable. Look, you don't even need to move. The food is delivered to your door."

Zhao Lishui and Wang Zhuzi nodded. They also thought that their niece was the most amazing.

Since Xiaomi was born, life at home has been getting better and better.

Even when they were fleeing from famine, they had enough food.

My little niece always finds something to eat and drink.

The villagers nodded as well. They also felt that Xiaomi was very lucky.

This matter is increasingly confirmed. Xiaomi is now firmly wearing the hat of the little lucky girl.

Old Lady Wang pointed at the musk deer and said to Wang Zhuzi, "Boss, you carry the musk deer first. We can clean it up at noon. We need to hurry now."

Then he looked at Wang Chengzi and said, "Second brother, you push the cart. It's time to set off."

Wang Chengzi and Wang Zhuzi responded with a "yes" at the same time.

At this time, the team just set off.

Xiaomi followed the agreement with them yesterday. Zhang Xing'er carried Xiaomi up first, and then Xiaomi asked Zhang Xing'er to carry Gou Wa up as well.

Gou Wa originally thought that Xiaomi had forgotten about it and was standing next to Da Bai, blinking his eyes and watching.

When he saw Zhang Xing'er holding him on Dabai, he immediately laughed.

Goudan and Tiedan were also watching from below, but neither of them said anything.

Xiaomi waved her hand and asked the two of them to sit up.

With four people sitting on Dabai's back, it wasn't particularly crowded.

Because Dabai is so strong. He is fat and thick, with strong limbs. You can tell at a glance that he is the overlord of the mountain.

Goudan sat on Dabai's back, like a victorious general returning from a battle.

It was his bared teeth that showed his happy mood.

On the way, he attracted countless envious glances from other friends.

It was not until the lunch break that the three of them reluctantly got off Dabai.

Wang Zhuzi hurried to deal with the musk deer that Dabai had brought over in the morning.

Wang Zhuzi skillfully bled and skinned the animal, first cutting off the hooves, ears, lips and tail.

This way you can peel off the skin intact. Musk deer skin is also a good thing.

It can be used to make shoes. It is strong and durable without hurting the feet. It is also very warm.

Then clean out the contents of your stomach.

When cleaning the deer's belly, Wang Zhuzi felt a hard lump inside.

It was about the size of an egg. Wang Zhuzi weighed it in his hand. It had some weight to it, so it wasn't empty.

He didn't know what it was, so he wrapped it in leaves and put it in his arms.

I plan to go back and ask my family.

After the deer are cleaned up, dig a hole and bury the intestines and other inedible parts. This will cover up the bloody smell.

To prevent wild animals from smelling the blood and following.

Then he carried a bunch of things to the camp.

When we arrived at the camp, we first put the roe deer meat on the cart, and then took out something wrapped in leaves from our arms.

"Mom, look what this is. I just took it out of the musk deer's stomach," Wang Zhuzi said as he removed the leaves that wrapped it.

Old Lady Wang took it and looked at it carefully, but she couldn't see anything.

So he handed it to Xiaomi. "My dear, look at what your uncle took out!"

Xiaomi also took a closer look. Then his eyes widened, "Oh my god. This is good stuff. It's musk."

After hearing this, Old Lady Wang and Wang Zhuzi looked at each other. Neither of them had heard of this thing.

Wang Chengzi thought about it and said, "Mom, brother, musk seems to be a kind of spice. I heard that rich families use musk to make spices."

Old Lady Wang understood now. She knew about spices. They were very expensive in the city. Anyway, her family couldn't afford them.

He glanced at the lump of meat in Xiaomi's hand again. This thing didn't look like spice at all.

After listening to Wang Chengzi's words, Xiaomi added: "My father is right. Musk can indeed be used as a spice. But it can also be used as a medicinal material.

Musk is a drug that can open up the orifices. It is pungent and warm in nature and has the effects of opening up the orifices and refreshing the mind, promoting blood circulation, relieving dysmenorrhea, inducing labor, and relieving pain.

Moreover, one ounce of gold is worth one ounce of musk. The price of musk is almost equal to that of gold.”

Wang Zhuzi swallowed his saliva and thought: Oh my god, I'm glad I didn't throw it away just now. If I had thrown it away, I would have vomited to death.

Xiaomi handed the musk to Wang Zhuzi. "Uncle, we can't store it like this. It's better to cook it."

Wang Zhuzi held the musk block in his hands with trembling hands, fearing that he would accidentally break it and then not be able to exchange it for money.

That cautious posture was just like when Zhao Lishui just gave birth to Daya.

It was the first time for him to hold his own child in his arms and look at the child who was the continuation of his bloodline.

The little one, lying soft and obedient in his arms. The feeling of cherishing him was simply beyond measure.

This is almost like gold. He has never seen gold in his life, let alone held it in his hands.
