Before everyone set off, they specifically asked Qingyan if she wanted to go with them. Qingyan thought about it and refused.
It's not that I want to guard the treasure here, but just because I have no interest in Qingfeng Town and am too lazy to run away.
Chou Chou used his spiritual consciousness to explore there in the morning. After two days, half of the garrison left, leaving dozens of people to guard there temporarily.
Maybe they are afraid that the bandits will come back. Furthermore, this is the only way to Yunling County. If the bandits want to save people, they have to pass by here anyway. It is better to be stationed in Qingfeng Town than in the wilderness. Wilderness is good.
The other half of the garrison did not return to the capital, but stayed to guard the county town. The provincial bandits went around from the other side of the mountain. The county town was empty of troops, allowing people to take advantage of the loophole.
She had already visited Yunling County, and there was nothing unusual in this town, so she didn't bother to go there.
Rather than going to Qingfeng Town, it would be better to go for a walk in the mountains. She was quite curious about the mountain behind. She wanted to see what was in the mountains, especially the formations on the mountains. She also wanted to see them. How is it clothed?
Now Chou Chou's space allows her to enter, and she can hide in it even if there is danger in the mountain.
After they left, Qingyan told the old lady that she wanted to go into the mountains and maybe catch some prey. She wouldn't be back for lunch at noon, and she planned to take the horse with her. If anything, animals are better than humans. sensitive.
Of course, this is just an excuse, but there are still a lot of wild animals in this season, so this reason is correct.
The old lady knew that the little girl had skills, so she did not stop her from going into the mountains alone. However, she still told her not to go too far and to come back before dark, otherwise the temperature in the mountains would be very low at night and she would easily get sick.
He also pointed to the east and said, "There is a road over there, which is a small path used by villagers to enter the mountains. You should try to follow that road to avoid getting lost in the mountains."
There are no big wild animals on the mountain behind them. As long as they stay within the scope of the mountain, there is no great danger. The biggest danger may be getting lost in the mountain.
It's getting cold now. If you are trapped in the mountain and can't get out, you will probably be frozen out. It is also very dangerous. The wind and cold now can kill people.
Qingyan promised the old lady that she wouldn't run too far, so she just took a walk around the mountains and would be back before dark at the latest.
And with the horse Big Bear here, the old horse knows the way is not just talk. According to the animal's intuition, even if it can't remember the road, Big Bear can take her back by itself.
The reason why Qingyan took the big bear out with her was because she thought it would be pitiful for him to be tied up in the yard while they went out to play.
Why not take it with you for a walk in the mountains, and also turn on a small stove for it?
There was a lot of young grass collected in Chou Chou Space, but it was difficult to take it out when there were always people around.
Go for a walk in the mountains and open a small stove for it.
The big bear was obviously very happy to be able to go out for a walk without having to pull a cart, and kept tapping the horse's hooves.
After waving to the old lady at the door, one person and one horse went straight up the mountain from a path to the east of the village.
This road is fairly easy to walk. The mountains to the northwest are mostly full of big trees, the ground is fairly flat, and the distance between trees is large.
The periphery of the mountain is basically full of deciduous trees, with sparse yellow leaves hanging on the branches, most of which have fallen to the ground.
One man and one horse stepped on the thick dead leaves, making a crunching sound.
Qingyan also has spiritual consciousness now, so she doesn't need to ask Chou Chou anymore, she can also use her spiritual consciousness to explore the area.
Except for some mouse holes nearby, there are basically no rabbits or pheasants.
I did see one or two snakes, and I knew they were non-venomous. They were probably preparing themselves before hibernation. Both snakes were wandering around the mouse hole. They looked like they were preparing to enter the hole. Eat mice...
After walking for a while, Chou Chou also came out of the space. First he sat on the big bear, and after walking for a while, he couldn't help but ran to squat on her shoulders.
As they walked in, Chou Chou told her about the situation of Yin Keqin and the others. They didn't encounter anything there, and they made it to the town smoothly.
They walked further into the mountains for about half an hour, and finally saw a few trees with green leaves, including pine and cypress trees.
After getting closer, she actually saw a pine cone on the pine tree. Qingyan reached out and picked one that was within reach, and knocked it open in her hand. There were indeed pine nuts.
Not bad, you can take this back and fry it to make a delicious snack.
Chou Chou asked Chou Chou to take out a cloth bag, and one man and one beast began to pick up the pine cones.
In fact, you can let Chou Chou directly put the pine nuts into the space, but that would be a little less fun. Anyway, you have more time. Even if you come here to play in Jinshan, picking is also a kind of fun.
Qingyan picked Chou Chou at the bottom, and Chou Chou picked at the top of the tree, and then sent him to pick all the ones at the top. She was very busy picking pine nuts while picking them into a cloth bag.
After they knocked out the pine cones of the three pine trees, they almost filled a small cloth bag with seven or eight kilograms of pine nuts.
These three trees are really quite big, and there are many pine cones.
The pine cones that were knocked out of the pine cones were not wasted, including those that fell on the ground. They were collected together by Chou Chou in the space and placed in a special place for storing charcoal.
Yes, that's where the charcoal is kept.
Qingyan heard her father say that pine cones are good fuel. They burn longer than firewood, and there is a faint pine scent when burning, which is very nice.
In some places, pine cones are made into charcoal specifically for making tea.
Qingyan was very curious about this and thought about using it to roast some wild animals at noon. It happened that there was a charcoal stove in Chou Chou Space.
By the way, I also fried the pine nuts in an iron pan. There were a lot of pebbles on the mountain, which was perfect for frying the pine nuts.
The two movements were quite fast. They picked pine cones, knocked pine nuts, and put the pine cones into the space. It took a total of more than an hour to complete.
They continued to move forward, preparing to find an open place to set up a stove and light a fire.
They had been walking on a road used by the villagers of Qinian Village to go up the mountain for hunting. It could be seen that people went up the mountain all year round. The ground on this road had been trampled firmly, and even the weeds did not grow.
After entering the mountain, the big bear was no longer tied by the reins, and he didn't need to be held. He just let him follow behind.
Occasionally, this guy would fall out of line and run to the side to play by himself. Qingyan didn't care about it and let it enjoy itself.
When he was just picking pine nuts, Chou Chou put some fresh green grass on a raised stone for the big bear.
This guy ate there with gusto, and ordered two apples to eat, telling Chou Chou that Qingyan had promised him this.
As they were walking forward, Qingyan's ears suddenly twitched, "Chou Chou, did you hear any sounds? For example... the braying of a donkey?"
Chou Chou also listened quietly, and then directed his consciousness towards the direction from which the sound came.
Qingyan also explored her consciousness, but of course she didn't find anything. Her consciousness could only be within two miles, but the sounds in the mountains could travel far.
Chou Chou said to her: "There is a mountain col three or four miles to the west, and there is a herd of donkeys in it.
Two miles further ahead, at the junction of the two mountains, there were several deer, including two big stags. Judging from the look of the antlers, they must be quite old. "
Qingyan looked at it and asked, "No, you don't want to take both the deer and the donkey into your space, do you? You can't keep them in your space, and you can't put them into suspended animation once they enter, right?"
Chou Chou glanced at her and said, "What are you thinking about? If we don't have money, we can sell it for money. We don't have any shortage at all. What should I do with them?"
If you eat meat, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it, but the venison should be quite delicious. You can try it. I heard that venison is a great tonic. "
Qingyan's eyes lit up when she heard it, "Venison? Is it delicious?"
She and her parents had gone to a resort in the Northeast to eat venison before, which was grilled. When she was young, her parents let her try it, but now she doesn't remember much about it.
However, at that time, the deer were all from breeding bases. I don’t know what the wild ones taste like, but now you can have a taste.
But here’s the problem, neither of them seems to have cooked venison before, and they don’t know how to cook it.
Is it just like roasting lamb? Will it be delicious when baked?
Chou Chou scratched his head, "There are only a few ways to make this meat. We can try them all. Make some barbecue ingredients, and then make some stew and braise to try.
You can also try marinating it and grilling it piece by piece like a teppanyaki. Whichever one is more delicious will be cooked later. A big male deer must weigh two to three hundred kilograms. "
Hearing this, Qingyan couldn't help but swallow her saliva and licked the corners of her mouth. It sounded delicious.
Qingyan slapped her thigh and said, "Okay, then just get a deer. We'll have this for lunch. We happen to still have a lot of sesame seed cakes we bought before, so we don't need to make the staple food."
Chou Chou immediately used his spiritual consciousness to search for it, found the largest stag among the deer, and took it into the space.
They walked forward again. It was already past ten o'clock in the morning. When they reached a relatively open place, they were not ready to move forward and decided to set up a stove to cook here.
This is an open and rocky place, and the location is better. Not only is there a stone clearing, but there are also several large rocks to block the wind.
It should be that the people of Qinian Village often stopped here when hunting. These stones have been made very clean and the tops are very smooth. You can rest on them and also use them to dry things.
There are some traces of fire burning below, but they are covered with soil. Only a few black ash on the ground are exposed in a few places. It must be that they are afraid of causing a fire. After lighting the fire, they are buried with soil.
The most important thing is that there is a small stream not far from here, about 70 to 80 meters away.
This stream comes from the west and flows all the way to the east. The water is not very deep, only reaching a person's knees.
There are only some pebbles in the stream, no fish, shrimp, or aquatic plants, and it is very clear and sweet.
Of course, this is what Chou Chou told her. It just got some water and tasted it.
Chou Chou's spiritual consciousness followed the stream towards its source, and when he found it, he told Qingyan.
"This stream flows from a cave in the west mountain. This water should be mountain spring water. It has a lot of minerals. Drinking it is good for the human body."
Qingyan became interested as soon as she heard this, and asked Chou Chou to collect some more and put it in the space. From now on, she would use this water for cooking and washing vegetables, and the other water for washing and washing.
The nature of the matter is stable. Is it far away? How about we go take a look inside the cave for a while? He has been here for a long time, which means he has not been to Shandong like this for a long time. Look, I measured the approximate distance. It said it was about ten kilometers away from our place. I thought it would be more than ten kilometers this year. They relied on their two legs to go slowly. If we were in the mountains again, it would be difficult to walk. It's so fast that I can't even get up. Think about it, forget it and wait. Today he promised the old lady to go back before dark. If he went to Shandong, he would definitely not be able to come back in time. He would go there today, yesterday or before he left, and went to the cave specifically to play. It’s okay to play. And there are mountains here, waiting for them. There should be some in other mountains. It’s better for me to go there. Is there anything in that cave? Is there any hidden protection? It’s guaranteed to be in Shandong, right? If there are any inspections or if I can't survive, I will stay there at noon. I won't be in the car, just alone. Ordinary Shandong. Shandong is not big. There is water coming out of a crack in the rocks. There are no living things in it. Because of the hot water, it is dark and humid. I like to live in a relatively dry environment. It is impossible. In this kind of cave. Oh, by the way, there is one on the top of the mountain. This eagle, I, the eagle, asked curiously last year, is it the particularly big eagle I saw on TV? I want to think about it for a while. The TV programs I saw over there in Steel City were similar to Diandian's, but they were not that big, and there were many varieties. There were huge ones abroad, especially like a private jet. There were very few such big ones in China, and it might be like that. Just my cousin. When the wings are spread out, it's only about 1 meter. It's only about one or two meters. It's not very big. My relatives nodded. That's not too small. One or two meters should be enough for a person to sit on it, which is too high. There were more things to do in this ancient forest, but when I got there, there was no one there except for a few. Being protected, except for many things that have been protected, many species have disappeared. When I thought of this, a flash of inspiration came to me. Do you think we can bring back the first animal that has become extinct in later generations from ancient times, and then in the fragrant fragrance They breed a lot in the space. I think they will be released into the mountains after they are discovered. In this way, these five species are not considered extinct, take a look. Looking at him, do you know what species are extinct? The experience was good to him overnight and he didn't know. I think this attitude of others is that of animals. Some people may not feel it at all, they just haven't seen it. This is a friend, go with your friends. .
