Chapter 49 My Sons of Potatoes and Sweet Potatoes 4
Anhua got up early, took a bunch of tools that she might need, and sneaked up the mountain. She didn't want to take her sons there. They wouldn't be enough to cause trouble, so she, the old lady, could do it alone.
Convenient for your feet!
The mountain was just as she thought. Almost all the edible things on the mountain had been dug up by the nearby villagers. Even the tender bark and grass roots had been dug out a lot. Anhua carried a pile of things on his back and walked deep into the mountain.
go.
There are ferocious beasts in this mountain, many years ago, and the farther you go into the mountain, the more rugged the terrain becomes. People don’t dare to come here, unless they are hunters who specialize in hunting. Fortunately, those ferocious beasts have never come down the mountain, and you can only occasionally hear them coming from the mountain.
It looks like a wolf howling.
Anhua took a long stick and used it to explore the grass while walking to prevent snakes and traps hidden by hunters. She had now gone deep into the mountains, and there were occasional footprints and traces on the roadside.
The traces of fighting prove that there are indeed large beasts in the mountains.
She has picked a lot of edible fungi and wild vegetables in her backpack, and also found several medicinal materials. It would be great if she could find Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng in the deep mountains. There are basically no traces of human activities in the mountains.
The richer the resources, maybe it won't be difficult to find things like life. We don't need them at home now, but if we sell them in the city, we can sell them for a lot of money!
Wild ginseng is the most valuable!
Anhua originally wanted to use the treasure hunting props in the system, but they were too expensive and she didn't have enough points.
I can only search in the mountains based on my limited knowledge.
She planned to get some pheasants and wild rabbits back. She had seen them running through the grass several times just now, so she had to find a good place to set the trap.
When would she be able to catch a chicken without using traps and relying on her old arms and legs? If she was still a killer, catching a chicken and rabbit would be no problem. She could even kill the rabbit accurately without damaging any of its fur.
If the trap couldn't be caught, she could only take out some chickens raised in the modern world from the space. Anyway, the Wang family hadn't eaten chicken for a long time, so they probably couldn't tell the difference between domestic chickens and those in the mountains.
Anhua set up the trap, covered it with grass, and sprinkled a handful of corn that chickens love to eat inside. She also made a rabbit trap and placed it next to the suspected rabbit nest. She made several such traps.
There is always one who can hit the trap. The trap is well hidden and the others don’t need to be taken care of. Anhua carried her tools and followed the sound of water to the place where there was a water source.
Passing through a forest, the sound of water is getting closer and closer. Anhua can already feel the feeling of water vapor lingering on the tip of his nose. Being in the forest, the fresh breath is enough to make people feel refreshed. The clear water vapor
Makes people feel more comfortable physically and mentally.
Anhua took two steps and emerged from the woods. His eyes suddenly opened up. There were no trees in front of him, only a winding stream flowing!
The water in the creek flowed very fast and fiercely. Anhua stretched out his hand to try it and felt the impact of the water. Even in summer, the river water felt cold on his skin.
Anwar was surprised, it was so cold? It couldn't be an underground river, right?
The creek was crystal clear, and the pebbles in it had been washed by the river water. The fish were swimming happily in it. They were very big. The biggest one Anhua saw was at least half as big as her arm. Here
It's so inaccessible that it's normal for fish to grow this big.
The fish here were dumbfounded after not seeing anyone for a long time. Anhua put her hand in to catch the fish, but the fish actually came over and circled around her hand!
Then Anwar was not polite, he picked the fish's gills with one hand and fished it out!
The old lady's hands have been doing farm work all year round and are very strong. Even as the big fish weighing five or six kilograms flapping in her hands, Anhua's fingers were firmly pinched into the gills of the fish without loosening at all.
She picked up the fish and banged it on the rocks on the shore a few times. The fish flopped twice and fainted. Anhua took out a knife and scraped the scales, guts and cleaned the fish, then lit a fire and grilled it on the spot.
A big fish weighing five pounds was eaten cleanly!
Sure enough, this pollution-free, pesticide-free, purely natural product is fragrant. Just sprinkle a little of the grass leaves that Anhua found to remove the smell and it is so delicious!
She caught several fish at once, packed them all and roasted them on the mountain. Then she wrapped them in big tree leaves and stuffed them at the bottom of her backpack to ensure that the smell of the fish would not be exposed, so that no one else would know.
I took it back and gave it to my family as a toothpaste.
suddenly!!
There was a sound of salad in the grass!
Anwar held the sickle in his hand vigilantly. It was already broad daylight, and it should be around midnight. He could see it clearly even in the woods.
She looked towards the source of the sound, and the sound of Salashala stopped. Anwar did not relax her vigilance. She took two steps forward, wanting to get closer, and suddenly!
The sound rang again! It was the sound of fallen leaves being trampled in the forest!
Listening to the sound, it sounds like something quite big. Could it be that the fish she grilled was so fragrant that it attracted the large beasts from the mountains?
Anwar didn't want to fight a big beast head-on. As an old lady, it was good that she could run. If she was in her prime, she would still have the confidence to fight a beast. Now she just wanted to run away.
Anhua packed up her things and dug a hole to bury the fish's entrails. It was hard for someone to come to the deep mountains and forests to avoid damaging the environment.
She turned around and was about to leave when the sound from the other side of the woods got louder!
Anhua took two steps, and a human cough came from the woods!
It's over, it's time to leave, she has to run away!
Anwar's short legs can move very fast, and rural people don't have the habit of binding their feet, so it's not a problem for him to run.
She thought she was the only one in this deep mountain, why was there anyone else? Could it be a hunter from some village?
It should not be seen. If someone discovers that the old lady of the Wang family ran into the mountains alone, she is still intact and picked up a bunch of trophies. If word spreads, it will be said that she is possessed by a monster.
!
Anwar didn't want to cause trouble for himself, so he had better run away.
The man in the woods came here smelling the fragrance. He also heard the sound of Anhua running. He was about to open his mouth to call her out, but because he was so seriously injured, he vomited blood and fell to the ground with a plop and fainted.
past!
Anhua also heard the splash. After drinking the water from the spiritual spring, her five senses became much more sensitive, and she was not as deaf or blind as before.
Anhua threw the backpack that had slipped to the crook of his arm to the ground and strode back impatiently!
I'm so annoying! I'm here on purpose, just to let her touch me!
Anhua touched her body, took out the cloth she used to cover her backpack and wrapped it around her face just in case, hoping it wasn't an acquaintance.
Chapter completed!
