Pampered Consort of the Fragrant Orchard
Chapter 5
She looked for water, simply rinsed her mouth and washed her face. It was light the day after breakfast. She stood outside the door and looked around at the terrain. She found that behind the mountain was a group of mountains and in front was a plain. The mountains behind them are densely wooded, and the plains in front are fertile. They can only grow some weeds on these two barren hills.
"This should be the edge of a basin, or the edge of a mountain area." after looking at it for a while, she came to a conclusion and touched her stomach with her hand. "Anyway, making money is the king now. First go and see if there is anything that can solve the current urgent need. Then eat that wild vegetable, and I will become a wild monkey!"
Du Xiaoli picked up a branch in front of the house and walked towards the back mountain. Few people come to the mountain, so there is no ready-made road. Only Du Xiuheng recently went to the mountain to cut firewood and walked out of a path.
"It''s just raining. I don''t know if mushrooms and other things will grow." Du Xiaoli muttered as he walked. "If so, we can drink mushroom soup tonight."
After walking for almost half an hour, she finished the two hills and officially entered the mountain forest.
"I''m so tired. I''m tired after walking for a while." she sat down panting on a stone and patted her legs gently. "I don''t know when it is now. How did ancient people judge the time? I''d better hurry to see if there is anything."
But she walked in the mountains for a long time. She didn''t even have any land to eat, not to mention mushrooms!
"Shit, don''t you want to be so poor? Doesn''t it mean there are treasures in the mountains?" she couldn''t help but burst out a rude remark after looking for a long time without income. "Is it the wrong place where I came in? The good things are not here..." here?
Before she finished, she saw a gray rabbit in her sight.
"Wild rabbit!" gray rabbits are generally rabbits. Unexpectedly, she didn''t find mushrooms, but let her meet rabbits!
She looked down. There were two small stones not far from the front left. She squatted down gently, picked up a small stone and hit the hare eating grass in front.
"Zhi Zhi!" I felt that someone''s hare was about to run away. He was hit by a stone on his front leg, so that he fell to the ground and made a sharp cry. Du Xiaoli hurried up and wanted to catch it. She didn''t want the hare with one leg missing to get up from the ground and continue to run forward. Although the speed was not as fast as before, it was not what her small arms and legs could catch up with. She quickly picked up another stone from the ground and hit it. This time he hit the hare on the head. He swayed in place twice and fainted.
Du Xiaoli ran up and picked up the hare. He found it very heavy. He estimated that it was four or five kilograms. In order to prevent the hare from waking up and running, she pulled two grasses on the ground, tied its front and rear legs respectively, and then sat down on the ground, wiped the sweat on her forehead and said: "This body is really too weak. If it had been in a previous life, the first stone would have killed it. Where would it be so troublesome! But fortunately, if it was caught and so fat, it should be able to eat for several days?"
Du Xiaoli rested for a while, carried the hare''s neck and walked around the mountain for a while. She saw a fruit similar to an apple, small, similar to her fist now.
When she saw the food, she found that she was hungry. It was estimated that noon had passed. She threw the hare to the ground, climbed to the tree, picked some, and took a bite. She felt that her teeth were not her own.
"What kind of fruit is it? It''s so sour!" she swallowed the fruit reluctantly and said to herself, "it''s almost catching up with hawthorn. If it''s used to make sugar gourd, it should be more delicious! Alas, I feel more hungry after eating this."
She slowly returned to the ground, picked up the hare and said, "I''d better go home. My brother should come back."
She walked around for a distance, never going back, and then went out in the direction she came. Unexpectedly, she met two wild mushrooms at the exit. At the root of a big tree, one has been fully opened, and the other has just emerged from the ground.
"Mushrooms?!" Du Xiaoli ran over, carefully planing the surrounding soil with branches and digging up the roots below. Looking at the long roots below, she smiled. It seems that there are still a lot of food in the mountain!
With mushrooms and rabbits, she felt that she had enough today. No matter how much she estimated, she couldn''t take the little body, so she accelerated her speed and rushed home.
Originally thought Du Xiuheng didn''t come back so soon. Unexpectedly, as soon as she went back, she saw him running out of the yard and seeing Du Xiaoli coming face to face. She was relieved and asked, "didn''t I tell you to rest at home? Where have you been?"
Du Xiaoli took the mushroom and hare in his hand and said, "brother, look what I got! We have meat tonight!"
Du Xiuheng wanted to scold her, but when he saw the smile on her face, he swallowed all those words and turned them into caring words: "did you hurt where?"
"No, let''s go, brother. Let''s make broth tonight." Du Xiaoli stuffed the Hare into Du Xiuheng''s hand and took him to the yard.
When he got to the yard, Du Xiaoli was worried again. Except for a pot, there was no furniture at home, not even a knife. How should they kill rabbits?!
"Elder brother, didn''t we bring anything out when we came out?" Du Xiaoli asked. Du Xiuheng shook his head and said, "aunt said that everything had to be used to pay off the debt, and we didn''t let us take out anything." "this Cui family!" Du Xiaoli hated his teeth. Although Su Suxin did receive some money when he was ill and went to the doctor, he wouldn''t have to use everything to pay off the debt! "Let me borrow something from Uncle Shi?" Du Xiuheng and also found the current situation and said. Uncle Shi was their neighbor in the past. He was honest and honest. Looking at the poor brothers and sisters, he gave them a pot and some food so that they could cook something to eat and not starve to death. "No, brother." Du Xiaoli held Du Xiuheng and said, "we''ll return uncle Shi''s things tomorrow. Don''t we borrow them when we need them next time?" "this... But if we don''t borrow them, how can we kill rabbits?" Du Xiuheng asked. "Let''s go and get back what belongs to us!" Du Xiaoli said. "It''s enough for uncle to occupy our house. All the furniture belongs to us and our clothes." "but aunt won''t let us take it!" Du Xiuheng said. He tried last time, but his aunt not only didn''t agree, but also beat and scolded him and drove him out. "Look at my brother. You''ll be here in a moment..." Du Xiaoli told Du Xiuheng the plan in her heart.
