Chapter 172 Overnight
Quickly exiting the stone gate, Suning used the flashlight to put the basket on his back again, and took out the small hoe inside and held it in his hand.
"Jia Ming, you go first?"
"I'll open the way for you, wait and see!"
Hehehe smiled and successfully found the medicine, the old man and the elder brother's The injuries are expected to be healed, most of the dull mood has dissipated, and he has returned to his usual carefree appearance.
Fu Jiaming bent down and picked up the hemp rope on the ground. He tugged hard and found that there was nothing wrong with the knot he tied. Then he got into the pit and pulled the rope up the slope little by little. .
After maintaining a safe distance, Suning followed closely behind, following his example and struggling to move up with the help of the rope in his hand.
Successfully pulled out of the pit, Fu Jiaming only panted slightly, but she collapsed completely on the ground.
"Hahaha Suning, with your physical strength, you still need to exercise regularly."
"You think I don't want to, it's natural!"
This is not a lie. She had to rely on her mother's anti-fetal medicine since she was born. After birth, she was indeed weaker than her peers.
Later, my grandfather carefully fed her every meal with medicinal food, so that she no longer got sick as often as ordinary people.
Physical fitness is the only shortcoming, how can I not make up for it? My grandfather once said with a smile that God gave her a smart brain in exchange for it.
"How is it? Is it okay? Why don't you go back too?"
"You have forgotten yourself. I'm afraid you won't be able to find it again if you turn around."
"Hehehe, I almost forgot about this!"
A road idiot and a physical scumbag, no one should laugh at anyone.
After Suning calmed down, the two began to look for firewood in the surroundings.
Since we plan to spend the night here, the temperature under the cave must be lower than outside the mountain, so we must prepare more and more firewood.
However, there is no shortage of dead branches and broken trees in the mountains. It didn’t take long for the two of them to pick up two large bundles, which should be enough.
It gets dark earlier in the mountains. After the sun is blocked by the mountains, there is a bit of an eerie atmosphere in the woods.
Rubbing the goosebumps that appeared unconsciously on his arms, Suning turned around and looked at the man not far away who was looking for small animals with Uncle Yan's bow and arrow.
Kneel down and continue to see if there is any way to directly solve the problem.
“Hey, what is it?”
One glance at the small furry ball on the ground caught her attention, she quickly walked to the bottom of the big tree, and when she looked up again, she suddenly showed a happy expression. smile.
It was so good that I almost forgot that this is when the chestnuts are ripe.
Quickly take off the backpack from your back and put it by your feet, pick up a small hoe and start smashing the 'hairballs' that naturally fall on the ground.
Wait for the chestnuts inside to come out, then pick them up one by one and throw them into the basket.
There were quite a few wild chestnut trees in this area. Suning stopped smashing and picking when he realized that there was enough for three people to eat.
With a few turns of his eyes, he took out some wild onions, ginger, wild peppers and other seasonings that can be found in the mountains.
"Suning!"
Suning, who was secretly doing something big, was frightened by the sound. He patted his chest hard, then stood up from the overgrown place and faced him. The direction shouted, "Here."
"You actually found wild chestnuts, that's amazing, Suning!"
In contrast, Fu Jiaming looked more like a flower that had been wilted by the wind and rain. , said dejectedly, "I watched the rabbit scurry past me!"
These small animals are so fast and their reactions are not slow. Without special training, it is really impossible for him to touch them blindly. Damn it.
"I think we should go to the river to catch fish!"
We have chestnuts, which can also fill our stomachs, but meat is better and can recover faster, so we catch wild rabbits There is no hope for pheasants, so I can only try again to see if I can catch fish.
"Sure, then we have to hurry up."
Looking at the watch on his wrist, Suning estimated the distance to the water source and nodded in agreement.
“Have you brought the things I gave you?”
"Don't worry, the sachet and the jade tablet are both here."
After saying this, he still subconsciously touched it with his hand and nodded more confidently when he found that the thing was indeed still there.
This thing that repels snakes, insects and evil spirits must not be thrown away!
With her leading the way, the two of them reached the small waterhole smoothly.
The mouth of the lake is not big, and the depth of the lake cannot be seen clearly. It should be formed after being washed by mountain springs, streams, rain and snow all year round.
"There should be fish here, right?"
After scratching his head, Fu Jiaming muttered and quickly took off his shoes, "Suning, wait for me by the small pool, I'll go Let's try it in the creek below. ""Okay, be careful!"
"Don't worry!"
Wait for him to turn over the moss-covered stones. After reaching the small stream below, Suning turned to look at the pool.
Sure enough, when I looked carefully, I found that there were black spots floating and swimming in the deep pool water. They were fish and they were not small.
You can't rely on that guy Fu Jiaming. Whether he can hit the fish with an arrow really depends on God.
Smiling and shaking his head, he lifted his heavy backpack on the ground. Suning looked around and found a relatively flat place.
First make a circle with stones, and then pour all the chestnuts in the basket into the circle to prevent them from rolling away.
The basket on my back soared back to the edge of the pool. I bent down and took its bamboo strap and put the basket into the water and let it sink more than half way.
Then his consciousness entered the Taoyuan space and caught a few fish weighing two or three kilograms from the small river in the space.
When the basket is picked up from the water, there will be lively fish immediately.
Isn’t this much faster and more efficient than that guy?
The basket with the fish in it was quite heavy, but fortunately the straps were quite strong and did not break suddenly even if they rattled. I successfully dragged it ashore with all my strength.
After taking a few sips, he raised his hand to wipe the water splashed by the fish tail on his face, and then pulled out a few tough grass roots from the weeds beside the pond.
After almost all the water in the basket was leaked, he began to pinch open the gills of the fish, pass them through the grass roots, and tie them into round knots. After a while, a string was tied on the ground.
"Hahaha, Suning, Suning, look, I caught a fish! We can have grilled fish tonight!"
A joyful shout came from the stream below, The birds resting in the trees flew away.
"Keep your voice down. Will the big guys feed you later?"
"Ahem~"
Touching his nose in embarrassment, Fu Jiaming He made an expression of silence, looked up and found a path that was easier to climb up, and returned to the pool in a hurry.
When he proudly raised the palm-sized fish in his hand and waited for praise, he caught a glimpse of it being strung up at her feet and occasionally flicking its tail, one, two, three, four, five, five? !
She was so shocked that her jaw was about to dislocate. Fu Jiaming quickly raised his hand to close it manually. He pointed to her in shock and tapped the fish on the ground, "You, how did you get this? ”
“Here!”
“Use the basket?”
Knock, why is he so stupid?
If I had known better, I would still be stupidly poking at something with my arrow.
"Haha, let's go and add yours, it's enough for us to eat. Hurry up and pick up the chestnuts and go back, otherwise Uncle Yan should worry."
"Okay."
The fish that he had just treasured so much was thrown beside the string of fish. Fu Jiaming simply stayed out of sight and out of mind, hoping that he would forget the stupid thing he had done after a while.
The two of them started working together and put the chestnuts back into the baskets by the handfuls.
After loading everything, Fu Jiaming put the backpack on his back again, regardless of whether it was wet or dripping.
"Suning, throw all the fish you can into the basket."
Only two baskets were filled to the brim, and the two of them each carried two more in their hands. A quick way back.
When it was completely dark, the two of them finally found their way back to the pothole.
"Suning, you go down first, and I will slide the basket and firewood down with the rope and you can continue."
"Okay."
Going down is much more convenient and faster than coming up. Faster, and after slipping to the bottom and losing the fear of the unknown, she still felt it was quite fun and a different kind of excitement.
“Ning Ning?”
“It’s my Uncle Yan.”
“I’m finally back. If you don’t come back, I’ll have to go find you two!”
Uncle Yan breathed a sigh of relief and helped the person who had slipped down, "Is everything okay?"
"It's okay."
Then the three of them worked together to pick up the things. Once transported back to the open and ventilated place in the innermost part of the cave.
After a while, the fire was successfully lit and the fragrant chestnuts and fish were grilled.
