Now they eat hare or pheasant meat cooked with wild vegetables for meals, and try to cook them until soft and easy to digest in the morning.
The staple food has been gone for a long time. I originally thought that I could get some food when I met the village. I haven't eaten the staple food in the past few days and I always feel a little empty. After eating so much meat, I don't feel full.
Unexpectedly, I ran down happily, but found nothing.
When they got up in the morning, they went to the fields to see if there were any ears or grains of wheat that had fallen to the ground. After searching for a long time, they only found a dozen scattered ones.
There was too little and they were too lazy to rub it out. They might as well go to other fields after dinner and pick some up to take with them.
If you can pick up a pound or two, you can put it in when cooking at night. It always tastes like porridge.
Although the two siblings had already eaten a piece of meat, their bellies were still not full, so each of them ate a large bowl of chicken and wild vegetable soup.
Although it’s hot, it’s good to eat something hot, it’s quite comfortable.
During the meal, Li Hao, the three men, and Yang Dashan gathered together.
While eating, we discussed how we were going to go after that. Anyway, it was just a pottery bowl per person, so it didn’t matter where we ate, so a group of people squatted together holding bowls.
Even if they couldn't get there, Qingyan and Chou Chou could still hear what they were saying, so they didn't join in the fun, but ate with the women.
Qingyan also didn't mention the matter of letting them adopt the two siblings. The two siblings had just lost their family members and it was a sad time. Besides, they still needed to get along for a long time and develop feelings for each other.
When the time comes when you have feelings and understand each other's temperament, it will be better to live together.
At this time, after hearing the idea proposed by Li Hao and others, Qingyan felt that their method was okay.
After they prepared, they took turns with three people taking the lead. If there was a tree, they would use Chou Chou's method and climb up the tree to observe.
If there are no trees and it is at a high place, three people will go to the slope to observe first.
If it is flat or trough, then you have to walk forward for a while. The three of you will work together, and one person will take turns to come back every hour to talk about the situation. If they do not come back after the time, they will know that something happened, and it is better to prepare in advance. Prepare to rescue people and hide women and children.
Each time a person comes back, a different person goes there, so that no one has to run back and forth all the time, and everyone is not tired.
In fact, Qingyan felt that this was quite tiring, but she had no other good solution.
The outside is not like the inside of the mountains. In the mountains, if they see any danger ahead from the trees in advance, they can detour from the mountain or avoid it in advance.
After leaving here, there is a great plain with fewer mountains. Most of the roadsides are farmers' crops or relatively flat wasteland. You can be spotted by people walking far away on the road, and there is no place to hide.
So this is the best way at present. Alas, from this we can see how important communication is.
In the future, all you need is a walkie-talkie. Conversations can be made within several kilometers, and those starting from the front can contact the rear at any time.
Eh, that’s not right!
Qingyan suddenly thought of something and said to Chou Chou: "Chou Chou, can you ask the little bird here for help? Let it help deliver the message. It's like a homing pigeon. When we leave, the little bird can do it too." Flying back and forth to help deliver messages.
Even if everyone in Yangjiaping is illiterate, they can use grass rings instead. For example, this kind of grass represents normal and another kind of grass represents dangerous ones. It's like a simple version of flying pigeons delivering messages. It's better than running back and forth like this, right? "
Chou Chou shook his head and said: "I can help tame the bird now, but once we leave, the bird will probably become disobedient and fly away at some point. If the front is fine, it will fly away when danger comes. , will cause them greater danger.”
Qingyan was a little disappointed, "Okay, that's all I can do now."
When they packed up and set out again, the little leopard fell asleep in the backpack again.
Perhaps because they were brought back by Qingyan, the two siblings, Daya and Daya, have always followed her step by step, and are still a little reserved towards others.
It's not that they are afraid. After all, except for Li Hao and the other three who are in their prime, the rest of them are old and weak, and they all look like honest villagers. They should be about the same as the old people in their village, so it's not bad. The emotion of fear.
They inserted it into the field, and everyone wanted to see if there were any ears of wheat on the ground.
Except for the donkey carts walking on the road beside the fields, people were scattered sideways in the fields, looking for wheat ears as they walked, picking up as many as they could.
Fortunately, the wheat fields in ancient times were not as dense as those in later generations. They were a bit sparse, so even if the straws were not collected, you could still see whether there were any ears of wheat on the ground.
To be honest, there are really very few ears of wheat left. I wonder if the farmers must have been very careful when harvesting. After all, it is related to the food for the next six months, so how could they be allowed to fall to the ground.
So even if they walked across the field, when they got to the other side of the field, everyone gathered together and bumped around, and even the ears of wheat were weighed down by only a few kilograms, and even less after the grains were threshed.
