Chapter 145 Looking for Food in the Deep Mountains(1/2)
"Don't be like this, I can't bear it!" Leng Yingchun helped Li get up, "I also came here fleeing from famine, and I had nothing at the time. The folks in Lishuping helped me a lot, so I just wanted to do more good deeds.
I do good deeds and accumulate virtue, so whenever I go to a place and see something that I am not satisfied with, I will put forward my own suggestions. If I can help, I will help. Don't blame me for being verbose."
"How could it be? How many people hide their own abilities? It's very rare for someone like you to impart experience without reservation!" Li Zheng sighed with emotion.
As long as someone can give them some agricultural advice, the whole village will not be able to understand the laws of agriculture and still be poor.
Leng Yingchun felt hungry when she sat down, but she didn't dare to say anything.
I ate tree roots last night, so I guess I won’t be much better today.
She now regrets not bringing dry food, and also regrets not storing food in the jade ring.
Li Zheng heard Leng Yingchun's stomach growling and looked at them sheepishly.
"On rainy days, we don't have enough food here, so we have no way to provide you with food. Please don't worry about it."
He also wanted to entertain them warmly, but there were no conditions. There were not many tree roots dug up in the kitchen in the past few days, and they had to be kept until evening...
"Li Zheng, we don't care about food." Feng Beier wanted to leave quickly.
In order to hide their hunger, they had to drink more water and go back to their rooms to rest.
The stomachs of the two people in the room made noises from time to time, and they looked at each other with painful expressions.
"Master, I really can't bear the hunger. Let's borrow their coir raincoats, put on straw sandals, and go out to look for something to eat?" Leng Yingchun begged, feeling hungry.
"Let's go!" Feng Beier also couldn't bear to eat one meal a day, so she planned to go to the mountains. Even if it was to dig up medicinal materials to fill her stomach, it would be quite good.
Master and apprentice will go out and borrow coir raincoats from Li Zheng.
"It's raining so heavily, it's dark, and you can't see the road clearly. Do you want to go out? In the mountains, in addition to tree roots, there are other wild vegetables. Eating too much will make you sick to your stomach. And after the heavy rain, there are many venomous snakes."
I don't really agree with them taking risks.
"Don't worry, we will take care of it." Feng Beier was very calm. She had also experienced surviving in the wild on heavy rainy days. What's more, in the mountains, with trees as a barrier, the rain would be much lighter and the road would not be too muddy.
Li Zheng couldn't resist them, so he ordered his son to follow them so that they could take care of them.
"No need, we masters and apprentices can go there. I will also teach Yingchun some medicinal materials and their uses."
Feng Bei'er felt that Li Zheng's son didn't have good eyesight and it was not convenient to follow him.
"Okay!" Li Zheng had no choice but to agree.
The master and apprentice put on their raincoats and bamboo hats, carried two buckets and a backpack and walked out of the thatched house.
However, I met some villagers who went out to look for food nearby. When I saw them, I warned them not to go too far, as the mountains are very dangerous.
They were not afraid at all. They walked forward for a while and reached the edge of the mountain.
"Let's look for the small mountain stream, and we will definitely find a lot of stone snails, small crabs and spicy yellow dices." Leng Yingchun already had a goal.
"How come you, this girl, know so many weird things?" Feng Bei'er always couldn't figure out what Leng Yingchun had gone through.
"These are all delicacies from my hometown. I lived in a mountain village when I was a child. Our family was quite poor and had nothing to eat. The adults always took us to the mountains to find various foods in various seasons."
Leng Yingchun sighed. What she couldn't understand was that the people of Chashu Village obviously owned a large area of mountain forest resources. Why were they willing to starve and eat hard and sticky tree roots instead of looking for other wild animals?
The master and apprentice walked along the mountain forest for a while and encountered some venomous snakes. But when the venomous snake saw Feng Bei'er, it seemed to be scared and flew away.
"Master, why are they afraid of you?" Leng Yingchun asked curiously.
"When we were young, our master soaked us in potion, which soaked into our skin and formed a smell. Beasts, insects, and snakes would all retreat when they smelled it. "Correct update@" Feng Bei'er was very calm, "After a while, I searched for Baidu, and also
Just like my senior brother cultivated Huanhuan, I will train you to be invulnerable to all poisons."
.
"Then I'm looking forward to it!" Leng Yingchun imagined, looking forward, he found a winding river.
Because of the rain, the water in the river was a little turbulent, causing all the aquatic plants to lie on the water.
"Master, you wait here, I'll go down and see if there are any snails or crabs!" Leng Yingchun lifted up his trousers and walked forward.
The river water was up to her knees, and it didn't look very deep, which was consistent with the living environment of rock snails and small crabs.
She touched a stone next to a water plant and pulled out the stone snail adsorbed on it. It was as thick as a thumb.
"Master, there really is a stone snail. Come down and help us. We can finish it as soon as possible and go back as soon as possible so that we can prepare delicious food as soon as possible."
Leng Yingchun waved towards Feng Bei'er and once again devoted himself to the activity of fishing for stone snails.
Feng Bei'er was as surprised as Leng Yinghuan, but soon followed Leng Yingchun's example and walked down, touching where there was water in the crevices of the rocks, and fishing for stone snails without any instruction.
"Master, the crabs here are as big as my little palm!"
Leng Yingchun opened the stone and caught a big crab and immediately started dancing.
Feng Bei'er was infected by her joy. She thought of the scene of her senior brothers playing together when she was a child, and took a hand of water and sprinkled it on her.
"Master, you launched a sneak attack to play the Water Splashing Festival, look at me!" Leng Yingchun splashed water on Feng Bei'er not to be outdone.
The mountain forest was filled with laughter and laughter, and even the whining birds were moved to sing songs.
After playing around for a while, they continued to engage in fishing for crabs and snails.
After a while, two half buckets of rock snails mixed with crabs were filled.
Feng Bei'er felt the joy of searching for food. She looked at the rolling mountains in the distance, as if she had gone back to the scene when she and her master went into the mountains to dig herbs when she was a child. She just wanted to recall the original situation. It was a rare occasion to go out and let her go wild.
Go back.
"Yingchun, do we still want to look for the spicy yellow dices you mentioned?"
"Of course, those fish can only be found in the deep mountains. Let's go further in and find as much food as possible. We don't know how long this rain will last. Don't miss out on a meal.
, those days were really sad.”
Leng Yingchun knew that she was greedy and always wanted to grab more food from nature.
"Then let's go!" Feng Beier quickly left the water. Not to mention, it was still quite cold in the mountain stream on a rainy day.
Leng Yingchun looked at the unfinished stream and felt a little regretful that he had not completely touched the stone snails.
In the mountains, medicinal materials can be seen everywhere, and Leng Yingchun wanted to dig up medicinal materials and send them to pharmacies to sell them.
Feng Bei'er covered her forehead, "I see, after we return to Lishuping, before the late rice is planted, you can go to the city and open up the first floor of Yuelai Building, and divide it into two parts there.
Part of it is used to make delicious food, and part of it is used to store medicinal materials. It can definitely make a lot of money."
"Master, what's so ridiculous about this? Haven't you ever experienced selling medicinal materials to make a living?" Leng Yingchun didn't think her idea was weird, "I don't know how many people in remote mountain villages make a fortune by digging medicinal materials."
"It's not easy for drug farmers. We often have to go deep into the mountains to dig up precious medicinal materials to earn more. Everyone has ordinary medicinal materials, and the prices are horribly low." Feng Beier said as he saw a cluster of Anomatis in front of him and hurriedly
He walked over and squatted down, "These are good things. We can take some back."
She dug carefully, with Leng Yingchun helping her.
After digging out the Anomatis, the two of them continued on their way without stopping.
The hard work paid off, and half an hour later they arrived in a canyon. Under the cover of the big tree and the rainy weather, the surroundings were relatively dark, and Leng Yingchun saw the spicy yellow dices he had dreamed of.
She didn't care, so she rolled up her pants and went down to grab the spicy penis with her bare hands.@*~~
The spicy yellow ding was so flexible that she struggled for a while and couldn't catch any, so she felt a little discouraged. She thought that she would have to make a temporary fishing rod and catch some loaches.
Feng Beier asked her to stop talking and stay aside, using Qinggong to stand on the water. When the water calmed down and the spicy yellow dices came out, she quickly bent down and reached out to fish them out, one in each hand.
She jumped to the cold spring face.
Before, Leng Yingchun poured the snails and crabs from his bucket into Feng Beier's bucket, washed the empty bucket and filled it with water.
Feng Beier put the spicy yellow dices into the bucket, "If the swallow is floating, he will be faster!"
"I will learn Qinggong from him. Master, you can grab some more."
Leng Yingchun was inspired and her desire to practice martial arts became stronger and stronger.
An hour later, Feng Bei'er filled the bucket with spicy yellow dices.
Leng Yingchun was worried that they would die due to lack of oxygen, so he suggested that they go back as soon as possible and deal with them as early as possible.
Feng Beier touched the sweat on his head. It was like no one could sweat on a rainy day.
"You are small and can't lift such heavy things, so let me do it!" Feng Beier refused to let Leng Yingchun lift the heavy things.
"Thank you, Master!" Leng Yingchun did not refuse and followed behind.
On the way back, there were constant surprises. They found a lot of precious medicinal materials, and they dug some of them up and put them away.
What surprised them even more was that they found fungus on a dry and wet tree and plundered them all.
In order to fill their stomachs, they also dug kudzu roots and returned home with a full harvest.
Back at Li Zheng's house, Li Zheng and his family were all confused. How could they get so much food safely on a rainy day?
"These snails are quite clean. They don't need soaking. Just rub them and they'll be fine. Don't be stunned. Go borrow some scissors from the neighbor and cut off the buttocks of the snails. Use part of it to make soup.
Use part of it to fry and steam the crabs." Leng Yingchun explained.
Li Zheng asked his son to borrow scissors.
Lady Li Zheng had no idea what to do when looking at the food. She had no experience in handling wild game.
