Chapter 24: Ferocious Beasts in the Swamp
Shui Ling sighed, "Forget it, use clay from the river to smear the roof of the cave and bake it with fire. Once the porcelain is solid, water can be released.
"Sure, let's do it." Shui Zheran nodded.
The father and daughter reached an agreement and went out to work, and Su Qin became the one in jail.
Shui Ling suddenly remembered the earthen stove and earthen bricks he had made. He couldn't find them when he went there. It was probably because the heavy rain had turned them into mud.
Standing at the door of the second floor was the patriarch who came out for some air. He smiled and said, "Are you looking for your mud thing?"
"Yeah, maybe it was wiped out by the rain." Shui Ling replied gloomily.
The patriarch chuckled: "It's in my house. I saw it raining that day and took it back."
"Ah..." The patriarch actually collected those two things for him, so he wasn't afraid that they were just mud things he made casually?
She went upstairs and saw that the earthen stove in the patriarch's house was dry and not cracked. She picked up the mud bricks and knocked them hard on the ground twice without breaking. It seemed that they could be used to build a house.
But what she wants to do is not only a stove, but also a fire bed made of adobe bricks. This is the purpose.
"Grandpa, please find someone to make mud bricks. Anyway, we dug out a lot of soil."
"Well, I've already given the order. They are looking for suitable wood to make molds." The patriarch worked very efficiently.
Shui Ling chuckled, "Forgetting your trouble, it's time for me to get to work."
Seeing Shui Ling running out in a hurry, the clan leader said: "Be careful not to run too far and come back soon."
"I know." Shui Ling waved his hand without looking back.
Because the water level recedes, the water spirit moves downstream again. If the downstream is moist, it is likely that lungwort will grow.
This time I ran a little further, and finally I saw the official officers escorting a group of people walking on the road in a mighty manner. The leader was the bearded man who brought them here.
Shuiling was not afraid and ran directly to the road to stop the official. She handed over the bamboo tube in her hand and said, "Uncle the official, would you like some water?"
The bearded man was stunned for a moment. He lowered his head and saw that Shui Ling hadn't recognized him yet. He asked suspiciously, "Which village are you from?"
"I'm from Ruoshui Village. Didn't my uncle send us there a while ago?" Shuiling blinked, looking cute and cute.
"Ah!" Big Beard finally remembered, but he still didn't recognize Shui Ling, he just remembered this incident.
"How are you doing? Have you built a house?"
Shui Ling shook his head, "We didn't have the tools to cut down the trees, so we could only get bamboos and dig holes in the mountains to live in. We are all settled now."
"That's good, that's good." A smile appeared on the bearded face. This was the most worry-free villager. I thought they would go to the Yamen to make trouble in two days, but they turned out to be peaceful.
But he suddenly turned around and glanced at the group of people fiercely, and the group immediately shrank their necks.
"Uncle, who are these people?" Shuiling asked curiously.
The bearded man didn't mind that she was young. He took the bamboo tube and drank for a while before speaking, "They are the real exiled prisoners. Those few are from the master's family, and the rest are the shop assistants, shopkeepers and domestic slaves."
"Ah, where should I send it?" Shui Ling had a bad feeling in her heart.
The bearded face also showed embarrassment, "I will send it to your village. This time I am here to deliver the appointment documents. Your clan leader is the village chief, and two official errands need to be appointed. After all, your clan leader is old and cannot always
toss."
"Those who run to the Yamen have to be selected first. The Yamen recognizes people and recognizes tokens... Oh my, I'm telling you this, you don't understand."
Can Shui Ling not understand? She could only pretend to be stupid, "Uncle, my mother gave birth to a set of twins. We were busy digging a cave and didn't report it. Do you blame us?"
The bearded man laughed and said, "Ghost girl, I won't blame you. Just give the child a hundred days to report, otherwise the name will be taken away if he is too young."
"Ah?" Shui Ling looked at him with a confused look on his face, did he still say this?
The bearded man chuckled, "Why did you run so far? Come back with me."
"I have to find medicine. Grandpa has a cough and needs herbal medicine to nourish his body." Shui Ling shook the herbal diagram in his hand.
The bearded man nodded, "Okay, go back early."
"I understand." Shui Ling nodded.
The bearded man didn't delay and left with the people.
Shui Ling looked at them. There were thirteen people in the master's family, and they didn't seem to be obedient. The rest were their slaves and subordinates, and they must be surrounding them.
It will be difficult to live a peaceful life in the future. Can you survive this winter?
She sighed heavily and continued to look for herbs.
This time she walked along the road until she reached a maple forest before going down. The maple trees were as thick as an adult's thigh, and they were okay for building a house.
Shui Ling used a dagger to cut open the bark of the tree. After waiting for a while, she found the maple sugar. She licked it. The sweetness was not high, so she had to give up for the time being.
As she walked inside, a pheasant was startled and ran away clucking.
Shui Ling suddenly thought about it and went to the meadow nearby to look for it. There were eight eggs in the nest, and the green ones were not big.
She immediately lurked, waiting for the hen to return to the nest.
Sure enough, after waiting for about two-quarters of an hour, the hen came back secretly, and Shuiling took advantage of it to cover it with a fishing net while it was lying on its nest.
The hen was thrown into the space before she could regain her senses. Shui Ling carried the straw nest in and arranged it on the balcony.
The hens were very docile like ducks after entering the space, and they didn't croak randomly. When they saw the grass nest, they stared straight at it.
Shuiling put down the straw nest, and the hen immediately jumped up and lay down.
Fortunately, there was still a lot of corn husks at home, so she placed a basin on the ground. There was water in the fish pond, so she didn't have to worry about it getting thirsty.
After getting the hen ready, Shui Ling found some space to continue looking for medicinal materials.
Finally, I found Lung Herb. Its stems look like clover, but its leaves are very similar to human lungs, with veins like bronchial tubes. The leaves are thick and as big as an adult's hand. When crushed, there will be sticky residue inside.
of juice.
Shui Ling had never seen this kind of plant before, and it must be something unique to this world. She dug a few and planted them in her space, and harvested the rest and put them in her backpack.
On the way back, I dug up another small ginseng tree. This one is not a hundred years old, only twenty or thirty years old.
When passing by the puddle, Shui Ling hesitated but decided to go fishing. This time, he occupied the kitchen bucket and pool, and fished more to make dried fish.
When she was about to leave, there was a sound of fast crawling behind her. She looked back nervously, and the sight made her break into a cold sweat.
I don't know when a crocodile-like creature more than two meters long appeared behind me. It had a long big mouth, but had bifurcated horns on its head, and its long body twisted in the mud and crawled very fast.
