Chapter 71: Entering Dafeng Mountain for the first time

Chapter 71 Entering Dafeng Mountain for the first time

After Gu Dashan repaired the roof, he did not rest. He followed the third grandfather to call the men from several houses to clean the mud in the old well.

This old well is used by several families. When the men from several families heard Gu Dashan’s shouts, they came out with their belongings and gathered beside the old well.

Mr. Qin took out the thick rope he had been carrying and tied it up for Gu Dashan. He and Father Luo pulled the rope together and hoisted Gu Dashan into the well.

More than a quarter of an hour later, Gu Dashan went down to the bottom of the well and shouted to them: "The walls of this old well are made of blue bricks. They are very strong. There are no problems and they will not collapse! You lift the bucket and shovel down. You can start clearing the mud!"

When everyone heard his words, they hoisted the buckets, shovels, and people digging the mud down the well one by one.

Several adults were busy cleaning up the mud.

Gu Jinli is thinking about Dafeng Mountain.

Dafeng Village is backed by Dafeng Mountain and is named after Dafeng Mountain. This Dafeng Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles and spans half of Qingfu Town. It is a large mountain range and must have rich mountain treasures.

Gu Jinli tied a sack to his body, took a shovel and dagger, and said to the third grandma and the others: "Third grandma, mother, we went into the mountains and will be back in the afternoon. Don't worry."

Ms. Cui was plowing the ground with a hoe, intending to make it a little rough so that she could plant vegetables in the spring. When she heard Gu Jinli's words, she hurriedly dropped the **** and ran to grab her: "Xiaoyu, do you really want to go into the mountains?"

After talking about Brother An's schooling last night, Xiaoyu said that he would go into the mountains to find medicinal materials and sell them to make money. He also said that he would ask Huiniang, brother and sister, and Brother Qin to go with him to reassure them.

 But she was still very worried. This person was unfamiliar with the place and it was dangerous in the mountains.

Gu Jinxiu and Cheng Geer sat next to the third grandma to make straw sandals. When they heard this, they and Cheng Geer looked at Gu Jinli worriedly.

Gu Jinli smiled and said: "Mom, didn't we make an agreement last night? Dad and Third Grandpa both agreed, and you can't change your mind." He then promised: "We won't go into the mountains, but just wander around the outside. Luo Wu Brother, Sister Huiniang, and Brother Qin are here, what are you afraid of?"

The Luo family brothers and sisters are good at martial arts, Qin Sanlang's skills are even more impressive, and her skills in her previous life were also very good. Although her body is too weak, the strength she exerts is not three-tenths of what she used to do before, but she has to do it herself. Guaranteed no problem.

Third Grandma helped Gu Jinli speak: "Let them go, there are so many people, nothing will happen."

 The children of several families have fled all the way, so what kind of dangers have they never encountered? Just a trip into the mountains, no big deal.

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Huiniang's voice came: "Xiaoyu, we are ready. Let's leave quickly. If it's later, we won't make the trip."

Luo Huiniang was wearing an old blue cotton coat, with a cloth bag slung around her waist and a machete in her hand. Next to her stood Tian Xiaohua, who was carrying a basket.

Ms. Cui had no choice but to tell her: "Be careful, don't take risks, and come back early."

 Brother Cheng also said to Gu Jinli in a sweet voice, "Second sister, be careful and come back soon."

"Hey." Gu Jinli responded with a smile, and he had already ran out of the yard and ran to the path behind Qin's house with Luo Huiniang and Tian Xiaohua.

On the small road, Qin Sanlang, Luo Wu, and Tian Erqiang were already waiting. When they saw them coming, they turned around and ran towards Dafeng Mountain.

They walked a long path and after a big turn, they began to enter the scope of Dafeng Mountain. As soon as they entered the mountain, Tian Xiaohua and Tian Erqiang stared at the ground, trying to find some edible wild vegetables. However, it was the middle of winter and the wild vegetables were already rotten to death. After walking for an hour, the brothers and sisters could not find any. A wild vegetable.

Maybe she was shocked, Tian Xiaohua cried out: "If we can't find food, our family will not be able to survive."

 Before moving yesterday, the third grandmother distributed the grain bought by several families to each family. After the distribution, each family did not receive much grain. Her family was poor and still owed money from Grandpa Qin's family. After eating the little food, she had no money to buy any more food.

Mother was still crying last night, saying she couldn't live any longer.

Gu Jinli knew the Tian family's difficulties. While looking for a hole on the ground, he comforted Tian Xiaohua: "Don't cry. There are no wild vegetables. We can find other things to sell and use the money to buy food. We can still live on."

She was in a hurry to go into the mountains because she knew that some adults had discussed it and were going to Qingfu Town tomorrow to buy things for living. So she wanted to go into the mountains today to find more medicinal materials and follow the adults to sell them at the town pharmacy tomorrow.

When Tian Xiaohua heard her words, she wiped her tears and asked, "Sister Xiaoyu, what can I sell for money?"

"Medicinal materials." Gu Jinli said, and suddenly saw a small hole three fingers wide in a piece of rotting grass. She immediately stopped: "There is a hole. Is it a snake or a mountain rat in it? Let's dig the hole. If If you can find snakes, you can sell them for money." Snake gallbladder and snake peel are both medicinal materials.

Luo Huiniang took a few steps back in fear: "Xiaoyu, what grudge do you have against snakes?" Along the way, she either caught snakes or looked for snakes to escape. Now that she had settled down, she started looking for snakes again. Did she get into trouble with a snake?

This job is quite dangerous, Qin Sanlang said: "Xiaoyu, please step aside and let me do it."

After Gu Jinli retreated, he and Luo Wu used shovels and hoes to start digging half a meter back from the entrance of the cave. After digging half a meter deep, they actually saw a nest of snakes, with more than a dozen snakes of various sizes moving around inside. snake.

It is the middle of winter now, and snakes are hibernating. Even if they are disturbed and move a few times, they cannot stand up and attack people as quickly as they can in summer.

Qin Sanlang found two small branches and quickly grabbed the snakes one by one into the sack.

Qin Sanlang counted them and said, "There are eleven." That's pretty good.

 After harvesting, several people began to look for rat holes or sparrow holes in the mountains. Snakes do not dig holes, but only occupy the nests of small animals. Therefore, snakes can often be found in the nests of these two animals.

They worked for most of the day. By the afternoon, they had caught more than 40 snakes, more than a dozen pairs of snakes, several mountain rats weighing half a kilogram, three pheasants weighing two kilograms, and more than 20 pheasants. A wild sweet potato can be said to be a bountiful harvest.

"Haha, we are so awesome. We found so much food, and it's all meat." Luo Huiniang stared at the pheasants, her eyes glowing green. Meat, this is chicken. She hasn't eaten it in more than a year. Over the chicken.

Seeing how greedy she was, Gu Jinli deliberately laughed at her: "Wipe your saliva quickly, it's almost dripping."

Hehe, Luo Huiniang laughed twice and made faces at her: "I'm just greedy for meat, what's wrong?"

"It's not bad, I'm also greedy for meat." Gu Jinli never thought that she would be greedy for meat, but since her rebirth, she couldn't even eat a full meal of white rice, let alone meat, and now her stomach is full of food. Very good, no oil star at all.

Gu Jinli looked at the sky and said, "Let's go back. If we go back late, we'll get yelled at."

It was their first time to go into the mountains, so they had to give the adults at home a good impression of being well-behaved. If it was their first time going into the mountains, they would dare to go back late, and they would not want to come back next time.
