Shuiling curiously returned to the cave and opened her purse. There were small red fruits inside, but each fruit had no heart and was like an empty shell. The outside looked like a strawberry.

"Mom, what is this?"

Su Qin picked up one and pinched it. It was very elastic, "Is this a raspberry?"

Shuiling shook her head, "No, raspberries are not that big, and they are berries. They look crisp, similar to apples."

She simply picked one up and threw it into her mouth to chew. It was really crunchy and sweet, not as juicy as raspberries, and the taste was not the same.

Su Qin slapped his forehead, "I remember, this is pockmarked fruit, a wild fruit on the mountain, but the core is poisonous and needs to be removed one by one, but there are thorns on the handle, Gong Qianyu's fingers were pricked

Alright."

She looked at her daughter meaningfully. Her daughter was indeed very charming.

Shui Ling's face turned red when she saw him. She gave Su Qin the fruit and ran out. Mom was so disgusted. What a look in her eyes.

When she came to the door, she saw Shui Zheran stepping on the bamboo ladder to install the door. However, she found that the door had been modified. It was not a propped-up type, but a sliding door.

There are smooth bamboo poles on the top and bottom as support points, and the double-layered door has a rolling bamboo tube as a pulley. This design is not what I said.

After installing the door, Shui Zheran pushed and pulled it and said, "It's well done. You can do it. I just said it casually and you made it."

Shui Ling, "..." It turned out to be my father's advice.

She tried the sliding door, and it was very smooth. She could pull it easily even at the age of eight. It was easier and more convenient than the branch door, and it didn't take up much space. Even the upper-class people could use it.

The key thing is that the double-layered door contains hay and leaves, which can effectively prevent wind and heat insulation.

Shui Zheran patted Gong Qianyu on the shoulder, "Well done, everyone will remember you."

"No... Uncle Ran came up with this door. I can't take credit." Gong Qianyu said modestly.

"Okay, go back and rest quickly." Shui Zheran started to chase people away.

Gong Qianyu glanced at Shui Ling and showed a nice smile, but he left without saying anything.

Shui Ling returned to the cave and watched as his father fixed two pegs on the wall, one on each side to fasten the sliding door.

After closing the door, the family of five went to sleep. They had a very peaceful sleep that night.

The next day was another busy day.

Shuiling thought of her own fishing net and asked, "Dad, do you have any ready-made fishing nets? I'm a little bit stuck with this." She took out the fishing net she made and felt a little worried.

Shui Zheran shook his head, "No, it was confiscated by your mother."

Shui Ling looked at Su Qin. She hated her father going fishing because every time he didn't catch a fish, he would come back covered in mosquitoes.

Su Qin's mouth twitched and he silently took out the fishing net. It was a handmade net. The carbon fiber loops were tough and strong, but it was only one and a half meters long.

The net bag is made of white nylon, and the mesh is slightly thinner than a finger, but it is much stronger than the fishing net made of Shuiling's mop pole.

Shui Zheran thought for a moment and said, "Let's just say that these are threads made by taking apart silk clothes and knotting them into net pockets. As for the poles themselves, they are imitated bamboo. If you don't hold them in your hands and look carefully, you won't find any flaws."

"I got it." Shui Ling breathed a sigh of relief. It looked like it could be taken out and used.

This time she carried a bamboo basket, which was made by someone in the village who knew how to weave bamboo. Now everyone has a clear division of labor and order, and no one will be idle.

Shui Ling went out after breakfast, taking a few children about her own age with her, hoping to pick up other food.

When they arrived at the depression yesterday, Shui Ling was suddenly a little worried, because the depression here was level with the river, and once the water rose, it would become a big pond.

The idea of ​​farming here was given up, and she walked a little further downstream. The river downstream was spread out, and both sides were not suitable for farming. Unless the depressions were turned into water storage ponds, the rising water would flood the lower reaches.

Already.

However, it has become a large swamp, with many birds and clumps of reeds everywhere.

Shui Ling frowned and dug up a reed. The tender roots were still edible. She immediately asked the children to start digging for the roots.

Some children were lucky enough to find bird eggs and duck eggs.

There were not many eggs, so Shui Ling looked at the thin children and simply found a dry place to light a fire, smother the eggs with ashes, and then watched them eat them.

Although the children wanted to take them back to their parents, Shuiling wouldn't let them go. After all, the quantity was small, and it would be a fight over who got them and who didn't.

After eating the eggs, the children continued digging for reed roots, while Shui Ling went to catch fish. When the fish pond in the space was full, she put it into bamboo baskets. The fish in this place are all species that don't grow very big, but they taste delicious.

While working until noon, there was a sudden thunder in the sky, and the children were startled.

Shui Ling quickly shouted, "Let's go home quickly."

The climate in the mountains is really changeable, and when they ran back in embarrassment, it started to rain heavily.

Today's food is only sweet potatoes, reed roots, and small fish caught by Shuiling.

The wolf meat and wild boar meat have been eaten long ago, so this meal is back to before liberation, but the food here in Shuiling is very rich.

The large intestine was cleaned by Shui Ling, so I took it out and fried it today, and saved the small intestine to make sausage later.

Pork liver, pork kidneys and pig hearts are braised and hung over a fire to smoke and dry, a bit like making bacon.

The little fish only kept one bowl, and the rest was distributed among the clan leaders.

It was raining heavily outside, and a family of five in the cave were enjoying themselves while eating and chatting.

The heavy rain continued until the next morning. When Shuiling went out, she was shocked to see that the river had reached the bank and rolled downstream with a roar.

The depression downstream must be a vast ocean, and we must find another place to find food today.

The patriarch looked at the wet ground, then looked up at the sky, "It will be sunny in the next few days, so we have to dig all the holes while the weather is sunny."

The slow progress was due to the lack of convenient tools. Everyone used sharpened bamboo to dig, which was very slow.

Shui Ling didn't have any handy tools and took it out. He put the small shovel in his backpack and headed to the bamboo forest.

What's surprising is that there are many small bags sprouting out of the bamboo forest. These are bamboo shoots. Take advantage of the good weather to dry them and save them for winter.

She continued walking deeper into the bamboo forest and heard the sound of pheasants, but could not see where the pheasants were.

It was almost noon when she finally walked out of the bamboo forest. She took out the dried fish she made last night and chewed it. The dried fish baked in the iron pot was crispy and fragrant.

"Meow wow..." The small meow of a cat attracted Shui Ling.

She took a few steps quickly and discovered an incredible scene. A wild boar and a black panther fell to the ground biting each other's necks.

The vines on the big tree next to it were entangled with a little panther, which was already dying and whimpering like milk.
